BUSINESS. GENERAL The Company, through Carsen Group Inc., its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary ("Carsen" or "Canadian subsidiary"), is engaged in the marketing and distribution of scientific products and consumer products in Canada, and commencing in fiscal 1996 will be engaged in the marketing and distribution of industrial technology equipment and medical equipment in the United States. The Company also provides servicing of the products it distributes. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Company" include Cantel Industries, Inc. ("Cantel") and Carsen. The scientific products distributed by the Company consist of medical instruments, including flexible and rigid endoscopes, endoscope washers/disinfectors, and air cleaning equipment; surgical equipment and related accessories; precision instruments, including microscopes and related accessories; and industrial technology equipment, including borescopes, fiberscopes, video image scopes, laser distance measurement and thermal imaging products and on-line optical inspection and quality assurance systems. The consumer products distributed by the Company consist of photographic and optical equipment, including cameras, dark room equipment, and office equipment including hand-held dictation equipment, paper shredders, and related accessories. The Company distributes the majority of its scientific products and consumer products pursuant to an agreement with Olympus America Inc. (the "Olympus Agreement"), a United States subsidiary of Olympus Optical Co. Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("Olympus Optical"), under which the Company has been granted exclusive distribution rights for certain Olympus products in Canada. Most of such products are manufactured by Olympus Optical and its affiliates in Japan and other foreign countries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to "Olympus" include Olympus America Inc. and Olympus Optical, and their affiliates. The Company, or its predecessor, has been distributing various Olympus products in Canada since 1949. During fiscal year 1994, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with Jenoptik Technologie GmbH of Jena, Germany ("Jenoptik"), for exclusive distribution of Jenoptik's laser distance measurement and thermal imaging products and on-line optical inspection and quality assurance systems in the United States, Canada and Mexico. -2- The Company also distributes other products under separate distribution agreements, including endoscope washers/disinfectors, scientific equipment accessories, shredders and accessory camera products. The following table gives information as to the percentage of consolidated net sales from continuing operations accounted for by each operating segment during the indicated periods.

This segment is comprised of the medical instruments, precision instruments, industrial technology equipment and product service divisions. MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS. The Company's principal source of revenue is from the distribution of specialized endoscopes, surgical equipment and related accessories and instruments to hospitals, the majority of which are manufactured by Olympus. Olympus is one of the world's leading manufacturers of endoscopes and related products. An endoscope is a device comprised of an optical system incorporated in a flexible or rigid tube that can be inserted inside a patient's body through a natural opening or through a small incision. Endoscopy, the use of endoscopes in medical procedures, is a valuable aid in the diagnosis of various disorders. Endoscopy enables physicians to study and photograph certain organs and body tissue and, if necessary, to perform a biopsy (removal of a small piece of tissue for microscopic analysis). Many surgical procedures that formerly required a major operation are now performed much more simply by endoscopy, which can often be performed without general anesthesia. A flexible endoscope generally consists of fiberoptic image and light carrying bundles contained in a flexible tube, which can be inserted into irregularly shaped organs of a patient's body, such as the large intestine. The viewing end of a -3- flexible fiberoptic endoscope contains an eyepiece and a steering mechanism and is connected to an external light source, which permits a surgeon to view inside a patient's body. The tip of a flexible endoscope inserted into a patient's body contains a lens and, in most cases, depending on the application, an outlet for air and water. Most flexible endoscopes also have internal working channels which enable accessories such as biopsy forceps to be passed to the tip. In an advanced version of the flexible endoscope, known as a flexible video endoscope, the fiberoptic image and light carrying bundles have been replaced by a charged coupling device (CCD) (which functions like a video camera) that enables a picture to be transmitted electronically to a monitor, which picture can be viewed by a physician as a medical procedure is being performed. A rigid endoscope is a straight, narrow viewing insertion tube consisting of a series of relay lenses and light transmitting fibers that connect to an external light source, which permits a surgeon to view inside a patient's body. A technology known as minimally invasive surgery requires the use of a rigid endoscope. With the addition of a tiny telescopic lens, a light source and a palm-size video camera, a rigid endoscope utilized for minimally invasive surgery can transmit images of the patient's organs, as well as the instrument being used by the surgeon, to a viewing monitor. Minimally invasive surgery enables a surgeon using an endoscope to operate on a patient through small keyhole type incisions, avoiding, in many cases, the need for open surgery. For example, one type of rigid endoscope known as a laproscope, enables a surgeon to remove a gall bladder by making four or five small incisions in the abdomen, rather than one larger incision. In this procedure, the surgeon inserts the laproscope through one of the incisions to view the gall bladder while operating with surgical instruments inserted in other incisions. This procedure can significantly reduce surgical trauma and post-operative pain, with reduced recovery time. Minimally invasive surgery has applications for a growing number of surgical procedures in addition to gall bladder removal, including hernia repair, small bowel resection, lung biopsy and advanced gynecological procedures. Flexible endoscopes are commonly used for visualization of, and diagnosing disorders in, the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and large intestine (gastroenterology); upper airways and lungs (pneumology); nose and throat (ENT); bladder, kidney and urinary tract (urology); and uterus (gynecology). Rigid endoscopes are commonly used for urology, gynecology, orthopedics, and general surgery, including minimally invasive surgery. The Company also distributes various specialized medical instruments and accessories utilized in both rigid and flexible -4- endoscopy including scissors, needle holders, forceps and other surgical accessories, ambulatory PH and motility monitoring equipment (which is used for diagnosis of various gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders), endoscope washers/disinfectors, carts, trolleys and cleaners, insufflators (which deliver and monitor gas to expand abdominal and other cavities), video monitors and recorders, mavigraphs (which print "hard" copies of video images) and "cold" light supplies (which provide light for endoscopy procedures). The Company believes it has achieved a considerable market share in Canada for flexible endoscopes in certain segments, particularly gastrointestinal endoscopy. The Company believes that growth in sales of medical instruments will be achieved principally from rigid endoscopes and other products used in surgical procedures, as well as from endoscope washers/disinfectors, air cleaners, and related equipment used in the care and maintenance of endoscopes. No assurance can be given that such growth will be attained. All of the endoscopes and certain of the other medical instruments and accessories distributed by the Company are manufactured by Olympus. Other medical products distributed by the Company are manufactured by Synectics Medical AB (ambulatory PH and motility monitoring equipment), F.M. Wiest GmbH & Co. (insufflators), Sony of Canada Ltd. (monitors, mavigraphs and video recorders), and MediVators Inc. (automated endoscope washers/disinfectors). PRECISION INSTRUMENTS. The Company distributes Olympus microscopes and complementary scientific equipment and accessories. Other precision instruments distributed by the Company include Narishige U.S.A., Inc. micromanipulators (which enable a viewer to manipulate objects being viewed under a microscope), Empix Imaging Inc. high resolution imagers (which transmit images of objects being viewed to a monitor), and optical accessories such as high contrast optics, objectives (magnifying lenses) and reticules and video calipers (both of which measure objects being viewed under a microscope). The products are used in numerous disciplines for the microscopic study of objects and are sold directly to the end user. The precision instruments distributed by the Company are sold to hospitals for cytology, pathology and histology purposes; government laboratories for research and forensics; universities and other educational institutions for research and teaching purposes; and private and industrial laboratories, for bio-technology, geology, pharmacology, metallography, quality control and manufacturing applications. -5- INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT. The Company distributes three types of industrial technology equipment that are similar to endoscopes, but are designed for an emerging market known as remote visual inspection ("RVI"). RVI is the application of medical endoscopic technology for industrial uses. These products distributed by the Company, most of which are manufactured by Olympus, consist of rigid borescopes (devices that are similar to rigid endoscopes), which use a series of relay lenses to transmit an image through a stainless steel insertion tube; fiberscopes (devices that are similar to flexible endoscopes), which use fiberoptic image carrying bundles to transmit images through a flexible insertion tube; and video image scopes, which utilize a small, high resolution solid state image sensor, similar to the charged coupling device used in advanced flexible endoscopes, that enable a picture to be transmitted electronically to a monitor. Other industrial technology equipment distributed by the Company, most of which is manufactured by Jenoptik, consists of laser meters (devices that use the travel time of laser pulses as a means of measurement) designed for determining distances, vertical angles, target and station heights, as well as speed; thermographic systems (devices that use infrared cameras to measure thermal radiation) which are used as a basis for the analysis and diagnosis of heat and temperature distribution; and on-line optical inspection and quality assurance systems (optical image-processing systems operating on the principle of coherent structural-zonal analysis) designed for inspection, identification and classification, such as establishing object classes, detecting defects and monitoring quality. The Company has recently introduced a number of products under its own trademark, Optiscan. These products have been sourced from outside suppliers or designed by the Company. Most Optiscan products currently available complement or enhance our Olympus RVI business. Optiscan products include IVS video documentation products which integrate video camera, monitor and VCR in one portable unit; and very long (10'-30') ultra-thin quartz glass fiberscopes for specialized applications, particularly in the nuclear power industry. Unrelated to our Olympus business is a software application, Optiscan PVM, developed by the Company, and designed to run in conjunction with Jenoptik laser rangefinders for the measurement of stock pile volumes, such as wood chips and coal. The industrial technology equipment distributed by the Company is generally purchased by large industrial companies engaged in the oil and gas, aerospace, chemicals, power generation, mining, forestry, semiconductor and automotive industries, that require inspections of their machinery or processes for research and development, measurement, maintenance or quality control. The Company also develops new applications -6- for its products, which are then customized by the Company for such applications, based upon the nature of a company's business. For example, the Company has sold borescopes to an automobile manufacturer to examine the inside of automobile engines, fiberscopes and laser measurement equipment to the Canadian customs agency for inspecting vehicles for drugs and other illegal paraphernalia, and video image scopes to a mining company to inspect rock formations for cracks and shifting. PRODUCT SERVICE - SCIENTIFIC. The Company operates a service organization at its Markham, Ontario facility that provides warranty and out-of-warranty service and repairs for scientific products distributed by the Company. Scientific products distributed by the Company bear a product warranty that entitles the purchaser to warranty repairs and service at a nominal or no charge during the warranty period. The Company, and not the manufacturer of the product, is responsible for the cost of warranty repairs. The warranty period for scientific products is generally one year for medical instruments and industrial technology equipment and five years for precision instruments. The Company also provides out-of-warranty service of scientific products for which the customer pays the Company on a time and materials basis. Revenues from the Product Service Division consist principally of out-of- warranty servicing of endoscopes and other medical products, and comprise a significant percentage of the Company's total net sales. CONSUMER PRODUCTS The Company distributes consumer products in Canada, comprised principally of photographic and optical equipment. This equipment, most of which is manufactured by Olympus, includes 35 mm. lens shutter cameras (also known as "point and shoot" cameras) and 35 mm. single lens reflex cameras, binoculars, slide projectors and screens, light meters, darkroom equipment and supplies, camera luggage and other photographic products and accessories. The Company distributes 25 models of the 35 mm. lens shutter cameras, 5 models of the 35 mm. single lens reflex cameras and 6 models of binoculars. Cameras and accessories manufactured by Olympus account for substantially all sales in the Consumer Products Division. The Company also distributes Olympus Pearlcorder- Registered Trademark- hand-held dictation equipment and two lines of paper shredders. The Company distributes its consumer products mostly to major department stores, large retail store chains, independent retailers and cooperative buying groups. The Company also distributes such products to government agencies, school boards, -7- the military, promotional sales organizations and catalog houses and other end- users. PRODUCT SERVICE - CONSUMER. The Company operates a service organization at its Markham, Ontario facility, as well as contracts with independent service centers throughout Canada to provide warranty service for the consumer products distributed by the Company. Pursuant to the Olympus Agreement, the Company is required to provide warranty service for all Olympus cameras presented to the Company for service, whether or not such cameras were sold by the Company. This obligation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company generally provides a two year warranty for cameras and a one year warranty for other consumer products. Beginning in fiscal year 1995, the Company now provides out-of-warranty services for its consumer products. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS OLYMPUS AGREEMENT. The majority of the Company's sales of scientific products and consumer products have been made pursuant to the Olympus Agreement, under which Olympus has granted the Company the exclusive right to distribute the covered Olympus products in Canada. All products sold by the Company pursuant to the agreement bear the "Olympus" trademark. The Olympus Agreement expires on March 31, 1998. During the term of the Olympus Agreement, the Company has agreed that it will not manufacture, distribute, sell or represent for sale in Canada any products which are competitive with the Olympus products covered by the Olympus Agreement. The Olympus Agreement imposes minimum purchase obligations on the Company with respect to each of medical instruments, precision instruments, industrial technology equipment and consumer products. The aggregate annual minimum purchase obligations for all such products are approximately $16.7 million, $17.2 million and $18.5 million during the contract years ending March 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. Subject to an allowance of a 10% shortfall from the minimum purchase requirements in certain situations, Olympus has the right to terminate the Olympus Agreement with respect to each product group for which the Company has failed to meet the minimum purchase requirements. If the Company fails to meet such requirements for both precision instruments and industrial technology equipment, or for medical instruments, then Olympus has the right to terminate the entire Olympus Agreement. Olympus may also terminate the Olympus Agreement if the Company breaches its other obligations under the Olympus Agreement, or if the Company fails to meet any Olympus credit requirement for sale on open account and does not provide Olympus with a letter of credit to -8- secure the Company's payment obligations after demand by Olympus. The Company has delivered to Olympus a letter of credit to secure payment of the Company's first $500,000 of monthly purchases. JENOPTIK AGREEMENT. On May 1, 1994, the Company entered into a long- term agreement with Jenoptik, under which the Company was granted the exclusive right to distribute the covered Jenoptik products in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The agreement expires December 31, 2003. During the term of the Jenoptik agreement, the Company has agreed that it will not manufacture, distribute, sell or represent for sale in the territory any products which are competitive with the products covered unless expressly agreed in writing by Jenoptik. The Jenoptik agreement imposes minimum purchase obligations commencing with the calendar year 1996 in the amount of DM 1,500,000. The minimum purchase requirement for calendar 1997 will be the average of the purchases during calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996, and for each year thereafter, 110% of the preceding year's minimum purchase requirement. Failure to achieve the minimum purchase requirement in any year would give Jenoptik the right to terminate the agreement. The agreement will be automatically extended for a subsequent five year term commencing January 1, 2004 and every five years thereafter, as long as the Company continues to achieve the minimum purchase requirements. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On October 29, 1993, the Company consummated the sale of all of the assets and transferred certain liabilities of its Seating Division to the German manufacturer of the seating products for $2,809,000. The Company received $2,659,000 in cash and a $150,000 promissory note of the purchaser of the Seating Division which was paid in October 1994. An additional contingent payment of up to $150,000 could become due on the 90th day following the end of calendar year 1995, dependent upon the operating results of the Seating Division. The sale of the Seating Division has been reflected as a discontinued operation and is presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations. MARKETING The Company markets its products through a sales organization comprised of employees and independent sales representatives. Each industry segment has a separate, dedicated -9- sales force. Sales persons, who are paid on a salary and/or commission basis, are, among other things, responsible for identifying customers and demonstrating products in their respective geographic markets. EFFECT OF CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND TRADE BARRIERS Substantially all of the Company's products have been imported from the Far East and Western Europe, and the Company's business could be materially and adversely affected by the imposition of trade barriers, fluctuations in the rates of exchange of various currencies, tariff increases and import and export restrictions, affecting both the United States and Canada. COMPETITION The Company distributes substantially all of its products in highly competitive markets, which contain many products available from nationally and internationally recognized competitors of the Company. Many of such competitors have greater financial and technical resources than the Company and are well-established, with reputations for success in the sale and service of their products. In addition, certain companies have developed or may be expected to develop technologies or products that could directly or indirectly compete with the products distributed by the Company. In some areas, the Company competes with manufacturers who distribute and service their own products and have greater financial and technical resources than the Company and, as manufacturers, may have certain other competitive advantages over the Company. The Company believes that the world-wide reputation for the quality and innovation of its products among consumers, the Company's reputation for providing quality product service, particularly with respect to medical products, and the numerous customer contacts developed during its lengthy service as a distributor of Olympus products, gives the Company a competitive advantage with respect to certain of its product segments. BACKLOG On October 6, 1995, the Company's consolidated backlog was approximately $1.2 million compared with approximately $1.0 million on October 21, 1994. EMPLOYEES As of October 6, 1995, the Company employed 111 persons. Of the Company's employees, 107 are located in Canada and 4 are located in the United States; 10 are executives and/or division managers, 43 are engaged in sales, 7 are engaged in customer service, 17 are engaged in product service, 9 are engaged in -10- shipping and warehouse functions, and 25 perform various administrative functions. None of the Company's employees is represented by labor unions. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The Company leases a building, containing approximately 41,000 square feet, located in Markham, Ontario. This facility is used for warehouse, service, showroom and office space for the Company's Canadian operations. The lease, as amended, expires in July 2000, subject to the Company's option to renew for five years. The lease provides for monthly base rent of approximately $9,400 for the next two years and approximately $10,000 for the last three years. The Company leases approximately 2,000 square feet of office space in Clifton, New Jersey, for its executive offices. The lease, which expires in January 1997, provides for monthly base rent of approximately $3,000. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is not a party to any material litigation. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. -11- PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Since March 18, 1994, the Company's Common Stock has been traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "CNTL." From August 17, 1992 through March 17, 1994, the Common Stock traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Common Stock, and a change in this policy is not presently under consideration by the Board of Directors.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. -14- ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS Reference is made to the sale of the Company's Seating Division (see Item 1. Business-Discontinued Operations). The results of continuing operations described hereafter reflect, for the most part, those results of the Company's Canadian subsidiary. Reference is also made hereafter to the effects of a weaker Canadian dollar against the United States dollar during fiscal 1995 and 1994, as compared with fiscal 1994 and 1993 (decreases in value of approximately 2% and 5%, respectively). In order to more accurately analyze the results of operations, some comparisons will be presented in Canadian dollars as well as United States dollars. FISCAL 1995 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1994 Net sales in Canadian dollars increased by $3,211,000, or 8.1%, to $42,721,000 in fiscal 1995, from $39,510,000 in fiscal 1994; however, when translated into United States dollars, the net sales increased by $1,730,000, or 5.9%, to $31,079,000 in fiscal 1995 from $29,349,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase was principally attributable to the increased sales of the Medical Instruments, Precision Instruments and Industrial Technology Divisions, resulting from increased demand for existing products; the introduction of new products such as the MediVators endoscope disinfector and the Olympus B-Max microscope; and increases in selling prices for certain products, which increases were partially offset by decreased sales in the Consumer Products Division, resulting from lower demand for consumer products. Gross profit in Canadian dollars increased by $955,000, or 7.4%, to $13,791,000 in fiscal 1995 from $12,836,000 in fiscal 1994; however, when translated into United States dollars, the gross profit increased by $464,000, or 4.9%, to $10,023,000 in fiscal 1995 from $9,559,000 in fiscal 1994. The gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales to 32.3% in fiscal 1995, from 32.6% in fiscal 1994. The lower gross profit margins for fiscal 1995 reflect the reduction in the selling prices of certain camera models in the Consumer Products Division to meet competition; supplier price increases, of which only a portion was passed along to customers; and changes in product mix. Shipping and warehouse expenses as a percentage of net sales were 2.5% for fiscal 1995, as compared with 2.4% for fiscal 1994. This percentage increase was principally attributable to higher occupancy costs, including insurance, utilities and -15- property tax, and increased costs of packing and shipping supplies. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.7% for fiscal 1995 and 1994. Although selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were increased as a result of additional personnel costs in the sales and product management functions and related travel expenses, this increase was offset due to higher levels of sales as compared to the fixed portion of selling expenses, which decreased selling expenses as a percentage of net sales. General and administrative expenses increased by $268,000 to $2,491,000 for fiscal 1995 from $2,223,000 for fiscal 1994. This increase was principally attributable to higher personnel costs, including termination pay for several employees, and an increase in professional fees, which increases were partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange losses which resulted from translating the Company's Canadian subsidiary's United States dollar denominated loans into Canadian dollars at the period-end exchange rates during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. In October 1993, the Company began borrowing in Canadian dollars which eliminated such foreign exchange losses. Interest expense increased to $479,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared with $301,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase principally reflects interest at market rates on borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, which was consummated on October 29, 1993 and an increase in average Canadian interest rates. Prior to October 29, 1993, the Company reported substantially reduced interest expense on its outstanding borrowings as a result of the 1991 Debt Restructuring. Income from continuing operations before income taxes and extraordinary gain decreased by $298,000 to $2,002,000 for fiscal 1995 from $2,300,000 for fiscal 1994. The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1995 and 1994 represent taxes imposed on the Company's Canadian operations and, in 1995, Canadian withholding taxes on dividends remitted by Carsen to Cantel in the United States. No tax benefits have been recognized on the Company's United States operations as a result of the losses generated in fiscal 1995 and prior years. Income from discontinued operations of $562,000 in fiscal 1994 principally reflects the gain on the sale of all of the assets and the transfer of certain liabilities of the Seating Division to the German manufacturer of the seating products. -16- During fiscal 1994, the Company paid in full its outstanding United States bank debt and refinanced its Canadian bank debt with a Canadian bank and recognized $1,211,000, which represents the remaining deferred interest benefit from the Company's 1991 Debt Restructuring with its lending banks and subordinated debenture holders, as an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of debt. Dividends on preferred stocks of $314,000 for fiscal 1994, represent non-cash imputed dividends of approximately $205,000 and cash dividends payable of $109,000 on the Series A Preferred Stock. FISCAL 1994 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1993 Net sales in Canadian dollars increased by $3,487,000, or 9.7%, to $39,510,000 in fiscal 1994, from $36,023,000 in fiscal 1993; however, when translated into United States dollars, the net sales increased by $716,000, or 2.5%, to $29,349,000 in fiscal 1994 from $28,633,000 in fiscal 1993. This increase was principally attributable to the increased sales of the Medical Instruments, Precision Instruments and Industrial Technology Divisions, resulting from the introduction of new products and/or increased demand for existing products, which increases were partially offset by decreased sales in the Consumer Products Division, resulting from lower demand for consumer products. Gross profit in Canadian dollars increased by $1,423,000, or 12.5%, to $12,836,000 in fiscal 1994 from $11,413,000 in fiscal 1993; however, when translated into United States dollars, the gross profit increased by $483,000, or 5.3%, to $9,559,000 in fiscal 1994 from $9,076,000 in fiscal 1993. The gross profit increased as a percentage of net sales to 32.6% in fiscal 1994, from 31.7% in fiscal 1993. The higher gross profit margins for fiscal 1994 reflect the benefits of increased selling prices which were implemented during the second quarter of fiscal 1993 and the foreign exchange hedging program initiated in November 1993, partially offset by increased discounting in the Medical Instruments and Precision Instruments Divisions to meet competitive pricing. Shipping and warehouse expenses as a percentage of net sales were 2.4% for fiscal 1994, as compared with 2.6% for fiscal 1993. This percentage decrease was principally attributable to the reorganization of the warehouse operations which resulted in lower labor and freight costs. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.7% for fiscal 1994, as compared with 14.0% for fiscal 1993. This percentage decrease was principally attributable to the -17- increased sales as well as the cost savings resulting from the restructuring of certain sales representatives' remuneration packages. General and administrative expenses decreased by $652,000 to $2,223,000 for fiscal 1994 from $2,875,000 for fiscal 1993. The decrease reflects certain reductions in the Company's corporate overhead, resulting from the sale of the Seating Division on October 29, 1993, and a reduction in foreign exchange losses resulting principally from translating the Company's Canadian subsidiary's United States dollar denominated loans into Canadian dollars at the period-end exchange rates during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. On October 29, 1993, the Company began borrowing in Canadian dollars under the revolving credit facility, which eliminated future foreign exchange gains or losses related to bank borrowings. Interest expense increased to $301,000 in fiscal 1994 as compared with $184,000 in fiscal 1993. This increase principally reflects interest at market rates on borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, which was consummated on October 29, 1993. Prior to such date, the Company reported substantially reduced interest expense on its outstanding borrowings as a result of the 1991 Debt Restructuring. Income from continuing operations before income taxes and extraordinary gain increased by $1,052,000 to $2,300,000 for fiscal 1994 from $1,248,000 for fiscal 1993. The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1994 and 1993 represent taxes imposed on the Company's Canadian operations and, in 1993, Canadian withholding taxes on dividends remitted or deemed to have been remitted by Carsen to Cantel in the United States. During fiscal 1994, Carsen received notice of reassessment for federal and provincial income taxes and withholding taxes from Revenue Canada for the taxable years 1990 through 1992. This notice was based upon the disallowance as a deduction for income tax purposes and treatment as a taxable dividend, of all of the payments made to Cantel by Carsen during this period with respect to a purchasing fee charged by Cantel for negotiating certain distribution agreements on behalf of Carsen. The Company disagrees with the position of Revenue Canada and is pursuing its available remedies. However, the Company recorded a charge of $413,000 in its income tax provision for the year ended July 31, 1993, which represents management's estimated cost to settle this matter as well as related provincial income taxes for the period. In addition, the Company provided interest charges of approximately $34,000 -18- and $120,000 in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, which represent interest on the federal and provincial income taxes and withholding taxes. Such provisions approximated the full amount of the reassessment for the federal and provincial income taxes and withholding taxes and the related interest thereon. The federal and provincial income taxes and the withholding taxes and related interest thereon have been paid under protest. No tax benefits have been recognized on the Company's United States operations as a result of the losses generated in fiscal 1994 and prior years. Income from discontinued operations of $562,000 principally reflects the gain on the sale of all of the assets and the transfer of certain liabilities of the Seating Division to the German manufacturer of the seating products. The Company paid in full its outstanding United States bank debt and refinanced its Canadian bank debt with a Canadian bank and recognized $1,211,000, which represents the remaining deferred interest benefit from the Company's 1991 Debt Restructuring with its lending banks and subordinated debenture holders, as an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of debt. Dividends on preferred stocks of $314,000 for fiscal 1994, represent non-cash imputed dividends of approximately $205,000 and cash dividends payable of $109,000 on the Series A Preferred Stock, as compared with $867,000 of non-cash imputed dividends on the Series A and B Preferred Stocks and cash dividends of $218,000 on the Series A Preferred Stock for fiscal 1993. Fiscal 1993 also reflects a stock dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock of $100,000. The non-cash dividends were imputed at rates which would increase the value of such preferred stocks from the value recorded at the date of issuance to the stated liquidation preference at the time each series of preferred stock became convertible into the Company's Common Stock. During April 1993, all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company; therefore, there were no dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for fiscal 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At July 31, 1995, the Company's working capital was $11,163,000 as compared with $8,347,000 at July 31, 1994. This increase primarily reflects an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in income taxes payable, partially offset by an -19- increase in accounts payable, principally resulting from increased sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The significant increase in accounts receivable at July 31, 1995 was partially due to customer "buy ins" of products prior to price increases from the Company's principal supplier, which were being passed along to customers in August 1995. The increase in working capital was partially achieved through an increase in long-term debt, which increased from $4,327,000 at July 31, 1994 to $6,087,000 at July 31, 1995. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,628,000 for fiscal 1995, as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $1,404,000 for fiscal 1994. This change was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and decreases in income from continuing operations and income taxes payable, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities was $59,000 for fiscal 1995, as compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $2,130,000 in fiscal 1994. This change principally reflects proceeds from the sale of the Seating Division in fiscal 1994. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,686,000 in fiscal 1995, as compared with net cash used in financing activities of $4,368,000 in fiscal 1994. This change was principally due to refinancing and reduction of long-term debt in fiscal 1994, and an increase in borrowings under the revolving credit facility in fiscal 1995. The revolving credit facility, as amended, entered into during fiscal 1994 is comprised of a $7,500,000 revolving credit facility to the Company's Canadian subsidiary. The maximum borrowing availability under this facility will decrease annually over a three year period commencing January 1, 1996 and must be paid in full no later than December 31, 1998. The Company is permitted to borrow an amount up to (i) 75%-85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, depending on the customer, and (ii) 50% of qualifying inventory, depending on the type of goods in inventory; however, any trade letters of credit issued under the Canadian revolver will reduce the maximum available borrowings by 50% of the amount of such trade letters of credit, while any standby letters of credit, including the $500,000 letter of credit issued to Olympus America Inc. during November 1993, reduces the maximum available borrowings by the full amount of such standby letters of credit. The Company has the right to borrow funds under this facility in either United States dollars or Canadian dollars, a portion of which may be drawn in the form of bankers acceptances. United States dollar borrowings will bear interest at .5% above the lender's United States base rate, and Canadian dollar borrowings will bear interest at .75% above the lender's Canadian prime rate. A commitment fee on the unused portion of this facility is payable in arrears at a rate of .25% per annum, with interest on borrowings payable monthly. Borrowings under -20- this facility are guaranteed by Cantel and secured by substantially all assets of the Company's Canadian subsidiary and require the Canadian subsidiary to meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum working capital ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio, and an annual limitation on capital expenditures. A further decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar could adversely affect the Company because the Company's Canadian subsidiary purchases substantially all of its products in United States dollars and sells its products in Canadian dollars. Such adverse currency fluctuations could also result in a corresponding adverse change in the United States dollar value of the Company's assets that are denominated in Canadian dollars. Under the credit facility, as amended, the Company's Canadian subsidiary has a foreign exchange hedging arrangement of up to $15,000,000 (U.S. dollars) which could be used to minimize future adverse currency fluctuations as they relate to purchases of inventories. The Company's Canadian subsidiary had forward exchange contracts at October 6, 1995 aggregating $9,000,000 (United States dollars) to hedge against possible declines in the value of the Canadian dollar which would otherwise result in higher inventory costs. Such contracts represent the Canadian subsidiary's projected purchases of inventories through February 29, 1996. The average exchange rate of the contracts open at October 6, 1995 is $1.3686 Canadian dollar per United States dollar, or $.7307 United States dollar per Canadian dollar. The exchange rate published by the Wall Street Journal on October 24, 1995, was $1.3704 Canadian dollar per United States dollar, or $.7297 United States dollar per Canadian dollar. The Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations and the funds available under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash operating requirements for the foreseeable future based upon the current level of operations. As of July 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for United States income tax purposes ("NOLs") of approximately $10,789,000 which will expire through July 31, 2010. In addition, the Company and its Canadian subsidiary cannot file consolidated tax returns, for Canadian or United States income tax purposes. Therefore, neither net losses sustained by the Company in the United States nor the NOLs can be used to reduce Canadian federal or provincial income taxes payable by the Canadian subsidiary on its taxable income nor can losses sustained by the Canadian subsidiary, if any, be used to offset taxable -21- income earned by the Company in the United States. This has resulted in the payment of income taxes by the Company in Canada, notwithstanding net losses sustained by the Company in the United States. Inflation has not significantly impacted the Company's operations. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN FISCAL 1995 AND FISCAL YEAR END OPTION VALUES The following information is furnished for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 with respect to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Company named in the Compensation Table above, for stock option exercises during such fiscal year.

Reilly 0 0 192,315 1,500 711,216 250 Edward E. Meltz 9,000 52,062 0 7,750 0 11,411 William J. Vella 10,000 52,500 5,500 9,500 8,525 13,575 STOCK OPTIONS An aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance or available for grant under the Company's 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Employee Plan"). Options granted under the Employee Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Employee Plan is administered in all respects by a committee composed of at least two non- employee members of the Company's Board of Directors who are designated by the Board (the "Stock Option Committee"). The Stock Option Committee may determine the employees to whom options are to be granted and the number of shares subject to each option. -27- Under the terms of the Employee Plan, all employees of the Company or subsidiaries of the Company are eligible for option grants. The option exercise price of options granted under the Employee Plan is fixed by the Stock Option Committee but must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the option at the time of grant, except that in the case of an employee who possesses more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a "10% Holder"), the exercise price must be no less than 110% of said fair market value. Options may be exercised by the payment in full in cash or by the tendering or cashless exchange of shares of Common Stock or of options to acquire shares of Common Stock having a fair market value, as determined by the Stock Option Committee, equal to the option exercise price. Options granted under the Employee Plan may not be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant, five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Holder. All currently outstanding options have a term of five years. At July 31, 1995, options to purchase 64,250 shares of Common Stock at prices between $2.50 and $4.38 per share were outstanding under the Employee Plan, and 164,125 shares were available for grant under the Employee Plan. An aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance or available for grant under the Company's 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"). Options granted under the Directors' Plan do not qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422A of the Code. The Directors' Plan provides for the automatic grant to each of the Company's directors of options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on the last business day of the Company's fiscal year. In addition, an option to purchase 500 shares of Common Stock is granted automatically on the last business day of each fiscal quarter to each director (exclusive of Messrs. Diker, Reilly and Dornbush and any other director who serves as an officer or employee of the Company) provided that the director attended any regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, if any, held during such quarter. Each such option grant is at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and has a ten year term (but in no event more than three months following the optionee's ceasing to serve as a director of the Company). The fiscal year options are exercisable in two equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant thereof and the quarterly options are exercisable in full immediately. At July 31, 1995, options to purchase 144,000 shares of Common Stock at prices between $2.00 and $6.00 per share were outstanding under the Directors' Plan, and 56,000 shares were available for grant under the Directors' Plan. In June 1991, the Company adopted the Employee Plan and terminated its 1981 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1981 Plan"), in order to have stock option plans which comply with Rule 16b-3, -28- as amended, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The termination of the prior plan did not affect the options then outstanding under such plan. At July 31, 1995, options to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,375 shares of Common Stock at $1.25 per share were outstanding under the 1981 Plan. In June 1990, Mr. Reilly was granted a ten-year non-plan option to purchase 139,815 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. This option is exercisable in full. In addition, in July 1990, Mr. Reilly was granted a ten-year non-plan option to purchase 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.875 per share. This option is exercisable in full. In February 1994, Mr. Dornbush was granted a non-plan option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. This option is currently exercisable in full and expires in February 1997. In December 1994, Mr. Barbanell was granted a five-year non-plan option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. This option is exercisable in four equal quarterly installments commencing March 1995 through December 1995 when the option will be fully exercisable. The option expires December 1999. COMPENSATION POLICY The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") is responsible for setting and administering the policies which govern annual executive salaries, raises and bonuses. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of three members, all of whom are non-employee directors. Executive compensation for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 consisted of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Company named in the Compensation Table. None of these individuals received a bonus in fiscal 1995. The policy of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, is to provide compensation to the Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers reflecting the contribution of such executives to the Company's growth in sales and earnings, the implementation of strategic plans consistent with the Company's long term objectives, and the enhancement of shareholder value. Mr. Reilly, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, served the Company pursuant to a written employment agreement from June 1989 through July 1992 and was compensated -29- pursuant to the express terms of such agreement. Although the agreement expired in accordance with its terms, the Compensation Committee has agreed to compensate Mr. Reilly at the same base salary and bonus formula as was in effect during the last year of the agreement. Long term incentive compensation policy consists exclusively of the award of stock options under the Company's Employee Option Plan and, in the case of officers who serve as directors of the Company, non-discretionary annual option grants of 1,000 shares under the Company's 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Committee is responsible for the award of stock options. Two non-employee directors, Alan J. Hirschfield and Bruce Slovin, currently serve on the Stock Option Committee, which administers the granting of options under the Employee Option Plan. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION No officer of the Company served on the Company's Compensation Committee during its last fiscal year. James P. Reilly, however, participated in deliberations concerning executive compensation, except with respect to his own compensation. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cantel Industries, Inc. as of July 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1995. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cantel Industries, Inc. at July 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Cantel Industries, Inc. ("Cantel") and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Carsen Group Inc. ("Carsen" or "Canadian subsidiary") (collectively known as the "Company") are engaged in the marketing, distribution and service of scientific products and consumer products in Canada. On October 29, 1993, the Company consummated the sale of all of the assets and transferred certain liabilities of its Charvoz Seating Division ("Seating Division"), and the results of the Seating Division have been presented as a discontinued operation, as described in Note 4. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cantel Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Assets and liabilities of Carsen are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the year. The cumulative effect of the translation of the subsidiary's financial statements is presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to the purchase of inventories are included in cost of sales. Non-cash foreign exchange losses resulting from translating Carsen's United States dollar denominated loans into Canadian dollars at the period-end exchange rate through October 29, 1993 are included in general and administrative expenses ($103,000 and $499,000 for the years ended July 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively). INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. 7 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs are expensed. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation and amortization are provided on either the declining-balance or straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. OTHER ASSETS Inventories of sales samples and medical loaners available for customers, which have not turned over within one year, are included in other assets and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109) "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes and establishes less restrictive criteria for recognizing deferred tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax balances are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received. Deferred income taxes are provided with respect to items of income and expense which enter into the determination of taxable income in years other than those in which they are recognized for financial reporting purposes. No income taxes have been provided on the undistributed earnings ($8,433,000 at July 31, 1995) of Carsen since the Company does not intend to repatriate such earnings unless no additional United States taxes would result upon such repatriation. GOODWILL Goodwill with respect to Carsen is not being amortized since, in the opinion of management, there has been no diminution of value since acquisition prior to l970. The carrying value of the goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be permanently impaired. Such review is based upon the undiscounted expected future operating profit 8 derived from such business. In the event such result is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, the carrying value of the goodwill is reduced to an amount that reflects the expected future benefit. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Primary earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents where dilutive. Primary earnings per common share for fiscal 1994 and 1993 have been calculated reflecting imputed dividends on the Series A and B Preferred Stocks aggregating $205,000 and $867,000, respectively. Fiscal 1994 and 1993 also reflect cash dividends of $109,000 and $218,000, respectively, on the Series A Preferred Stock and fiscal 1993 includes a Series B Preferred Stock Dividend of $100,000. Fully diluted earnings per common share are computed on the assumption that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year was further increased by the exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the year-end market price of Common Stock exceeded the average market price. Fully diluted earnings per share for fiscal 1993 was computed reflecting imputed dividends of $715,000 and cash dividends of $218,000 on the Series A Preferred Stock and the assumed conversion, as of August 1, 1992, of the Series B Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock. Fully diluted earnings per share for 1994 was computed reflecting imputed dividends of $205,000 and cash dividends of $109,000 on the Series A Preferred Stock. The following average shares were used for the computation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share: Year Ended July 31, 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------- Primary 3,142,339 3,011,226 2,033,080 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Fully Diluted 3,145,536 3,054,858 2,465,400 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made in the accompanying financial statements for the years ended July 31, 1994 and 1993 to conform to the presentation for the year ended July 31, 1995. 9 3. INVENTORIES A summary of inventories is as follows: July 31, 1995 1994 ------------------------ Parts $1,148,000 $1,298,000 Samples 1,685,000 1,713,000 Finished Goods 4,399,000 4,111,000 ------------------------ Total $7,232,000 $7,122,000 ------------------------ ------------------------ 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On October 29, 1993, the Company consummated the sale of all of the assets and transferred certain liabilities of its Seating Division to the German manufacturer of the seating products for $2,809,000. The Company received $2,659,000 in cash and a $150,000 promissory note of the purchaser of the Seating Division (included in accounts receivable). The promissory note was paid in October 1994. An additional contingent payment of up to $150,000 could become due on the 90th day following the end of the calendar year 1995, dependent upon the operating results of the Seating Division. 5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS Simultaneous with the sale of its Seating Division, the Company paid in full its then outstanding United States bank debt of $1,300,000 plus accrued interest and refinanced the Company's Canadian credit facility with a Canadian bank. The remaining deferred interest benefit of $1,211,000 arising from the Company's 1991 Debt Restructuring with its lending banks and subordinated debenture holders was recognized as an extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt. Since October 29, 1993, the Company's interest expense reflects a market rate of interest on its borrowings. A summary of the Company's long-term debt is as follows: July 31, 1995 1994 ----------------------- Revolving credit facility $6,087,000 $4,327,000 ----------------------- ----------------------- The revolving credit facility entered into during fiscal 1994, as amended, is comprised of a $7,500,000 revolving credit facility to the Company's Canadian subsidiary. The maximum 10 borrowing availability under this facility decreases annually over a three year period commencing January 1, 1996 and must be paid in full no later than December 31, 1998. The Company is permitted to borrow an amount up to (i) 75%- 85% of certain eligible accounts receivable, depending on the customer, and (ii) 50% of qualifying inventory, depending on the type of goods in inventory; however, any trade letters of credit issued under this facility will reduce the maximum available borrowings by 50% of the amount of such trade letters of credit, while any standby letters of credit, including the $500,000 letter of credit issued to Olympus America Inc. during November 1993, reduces the maximum available borrowings by the full amount of such standby letters of credit. The Company has the right to borrow funds under this facility in either United States dollars or Canadian dollars, a portion of which may be in the form of bankers acceptances. The borrowings outstanding at July 31, 1995 and 1994 are in Canadian dollars. United States dollar borrowings bear interest at .5% above the lender's United States base rate, and Canadian dollar borrowings bear interest at .75% above the lender's Canadian prime rate. The lender's Canadian prime rate was 8.25% at July 31, 1995. A commitment fee on the unused portion of this facility is payable in arrears at a rate of .25% per annum, with interest on borrowings payable monthly. Borrowings under this facility are guaranteed by Cantel and are secured by substantially all assets of the Company's Canadian subsidiary and require the subsidiary to meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum working capital ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio, and an annual limitation on capital expenditures. 6. INCOME TAXES During fiscal 1994, Carsen received notice of reassessment for federal and provincial income taxes and withholding taxes from Revenue Canada for the taxable years 1990 through 1992. This notice was based upon the disallowance as a deduction for income tax purposes and treatment as a taxable dividend, of all of the payments made to Cantel by Carsen during this period with respect to a purchasing fee charged by Cantel for negotiating certain distribution agreements on behalf of Carsen. The Company disagrees with the position of Revenue Canada and is pursuing its available remedies. However, the Company recorded a charge of $413,000 in its income tax provision for the year ended July 31, 1993, which represents management's estimated cost to settle this matter as well as related provincial income taxes for the period. In addition, the Company provided interest charges of approximately $34,000 and $120,000 in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, which represents interest on the federal and provincial income taxes 11 and withholding taxes. Such provisions approximated the full amount of the reassessment for the federal and provincial income and withholding taxes and the related interest thereon. The federal and provincial income taxes and the withholding taxes and related interest thereon have been paid under protest. Deferred income taxes recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1995 and 1994 include deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards of $3,668,000 and $3,545,000, respectively, which have been fully offset by valuation allowances, and deferred tax liabilities related to the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for income tax purposes of $91,000 and $63,000, respectively. The valuation allowances have been established equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets, as the Company was not assured at July 31, 1995 and 1994, that it is more likely than not that a benefit will be realized. For financial statement and domestic tax reporting purposes, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,789,000 at July 31, 1995, which expire through July 31, 2010. The net operating loss carryforwards presented are based upon the tax returns as filed and are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The provision for income taxes consists of the following: Year Ended July 31, 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------- Current Deferred Current Deferred Current Deferred --------------------------------------------------------------- United States $ 14,000 $ - $ 2,000 $ - $ 63,000 $ - Canada 961,000 26,000 1,042,000 10,000 1,072,000 25,000 --------------------------------------------------------------- Total $975,000 $26,000 $1,044,000 $10,000 $1,135,000 $25,000 --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- The components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows: Year Ended July 31, 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------- United States $ (278,000) $ (52,000) $ (149,000) Canada 2,280,000 2,352,000 1,397,000 --------------------------------------- Total $2,002,000 $2,300,000 $1,248,000 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- 12 The effective rate on continuing operations differs from the U.S. statutory rate (34%) due to the following: Year Ended July 31, 1995 1994 1993 ----------------------------------- Expected statutory tax expense $ 680,000 $ 782,000 $ 424,000 Canadian dividend withholding taxes 12,000 - 57,000 Canadian tax reassessment - - 413,000 Differential attributable to Canadian operations 212,000 252,000 199,000 Benefit not recognized on domestic operating losses 95,000 18,000 61,000 U.S. state and local taxes 2,000 2,000 6,000 ----------------------------------- Total $1,001,000 $1,054,000 $1,160,000 ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEASE OBLIGATIONS Aggregate future minimum rental commitments at July 31, l995 under operating leases for warehouse and office space are approximately $645,000 through the year ended July 31, 2000. Rent expense aggregated $210,000, $187,000 and $160,000 for the years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS The Company's Canadian subsidiary enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to purchase United States dollars to hedge against currency fluctuations affecting purchases of inventory. Total commitments for such forward contracts amounted to $9,000,000 at July 31, 1995, and cover projected purchases of inventory through December 1995. The fair value of such contracts at July 31, 1995, based upon current market quotes for contracts with similar terms, approximated the carrying value of such contracts. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT The majority of the Company's sales of scientific products and consumer products are made under a distribution agreement with Olympus America Inc. ("Olympus"). The distribution agreement, which expires in March 1998, imposes minimum purchase and service obligations upon the Company and restricts the Company from selling products competitive with those covered by the agreement and gives the Company the exclusive right to distribute the covered Olympus products in Canada. Subject to an allowance of a 10% shortfall from the minimum purchase requirements in certain situations, Olympus has the right to terminate the agreement with respect to each product 13 group (defined in the agreement as medical instruments, precision instruments, industrial technology equipment and consumer products) for which the Company has failed to meet the minimum purchase requirements. If the Company fails to meet such requirements for both precision instruments and industrial technology equipment, or for medical instruments, then Olympus has the right to terminate the entire agreement. Olympus may also terminate the agreement if the Company breaches certain other obligations and requirements under the agreement, or if the Company fails to meet any Olympus credit requirements for sale on open account and does not provide Olympus with a letter of credit to secure the Company's payment obligations after demand by Olympus. The Company has delivered to Olympus a letter of credit to secure payment of the Company's first $500,000 of monthly purchases. DEFERRED COMPENSATION Under an agreement with a former officer and director, the Company is obligated to make payments on a monthly basis through April 1996, subject to cost of living increases. The individual will receive approximately $105,000 in fiscal 1996. The Company has recorded a liability for the present value of these obligations. 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In connection with the Company's 1991 Debt Restructuring with its lending banks and Subordinated Debenture holders, the Company issued shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stocks. The Series A Preferred Stock, which was redeemed on October 29, 1993, had a $6,000 per share liquidation preference and was senior to the Company's Common Stock with respect to dividend and liquidation preference. Quarterly dividends of $90 per share were due for the period from February 1, 1993 through the date the stock was redeemed. Dividends were imputed at a rate of approximately 23% on the Series A Preferred Stock from the date of issuance to the date of redemption. On October 29, 1993, the Company redeemed all 1,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock which were owned by the Company's lending banks, including any rights the banks may have had to receive warrants and/or dividends thereunder, for a cash payment of $200,000, the assignment of the $150,000 note of the purchaser of the Seating Division, which was paid in October 1994, and the assignment of 50% of the contingent payment of up to $150,000 which could become due on the 90th day following the end of the calendar year 1995, dependent upon the operating results of the Seating 14 Division. The banks also received 133,950 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Series B Preferred Stock had a $10 per share liquidation preference and was senior to the Company's Common Stock with respect to dividend and liquidation preference. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock had the option to convert such stock into the Company's Common Stock at a rate of exchange determined by dividing the liquidation value of the Series B Preferred Stock by the market price of the Common Stock. Dividends were imputed at a rate of approximately 19% on the Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance through the date of conversion. During January 1993, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at $100,000, which shares represented 5% of the liquidation preference of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, as a dividend to the holders of such stock. During April 1993, all 210,000 outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate of $3.50 per share. At July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, there was an aggregate of 239,164 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share. The Company's 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to employees to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock through January 2, 2001. Options under this plan are granted at no less than 100% of the market price at the time of the grant, and become exercisable in four equal annual installments and expire up to a maximum of ten years from the date of the grant. At July 31, 1995, 164,125 shares were available for grant under this plan. The Company's 1991 Directors' Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to directors to purchase up to 200,000 shares of its Common Stock. Options under this plan may be granted to directors only. Under the plan, options to purchase 1,000 shares are granted annually on the last business day of the Company's fiscal year to each member of the Company's Board of Directors. The annual options are exercisable, as to 50% of the number of shares, on the first anniversary of the grant of such options and are exercisable for the balance of such shares on the second anniversary of the grant of such options. On a quarterly basis, options to purchase 500 shares are granted to each member of the Company's Board, except for employees or officers of the Company, in attendance at that quarter's Board of Directors meeting. The quarterly options are exercisable immediately. 15 The exercise price of each option is the fair market value on the date the option is granted. At July 31, 1995, 56,000 shares were available for grant under this plan. A summary of stock option activity follows: July 31, 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------- Outstanding at beginning of year 428,940 458,940 456,165 Granted 83,500 60,000 45,500 Cancelled (12,000) (43,750) (36,600) Exercised (40,000) (46,250) (6,125) --------------------------------- Outstanding at end of year 460,440 428,940 458,940 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Exercisable at end of year 385,065 375,690 369,440 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Average price of options outstanding $2.98 $2.65 $2.34 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 9. PROFIT SHARING PLAN Carsen has a profit-sharing plan for the benefit of eligible employees. Contributions by Carsen are discretionary and aggregate contributions are limited in any year to the amount allowable as a deduction in computing taxable income. Operations were charged for contributions under the Carsen plan aggregating $53,000, $40,000 and $39,000 for the years ended July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 10.
