NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)
JULY 27, 1996
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of July 27, 1996, and the results of operations
and the cash flows for the periods ended July 27, 1996, and July 29, 1995. Such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the
quarter ended July 27, 1996, and July 29, 1995, are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at April 27,
1996, is derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
included in the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. The fiscal year end of the Company is the last Saturday in April. The
first quarter of fiscal year 1997 and 1996 represents the 13 weeks ended
July 27, 1996 and July 29, 1995, respectively.
3. On July 3, 1996 all 3,552,856 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock
Series A held by the Patterson Dental Company Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP") were converted to 3,837,083 shares of the Company's Common Stock
in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock Series A. The terms of the
constituent instrument defining the rights of holders of the Preferred Stock
Series A were not modified; however, upon the conversion of the shares of
Preferred Stock Series A to Common Stock, there were remaining no shares of
Preferred Stock Series A issued and outstanding. Previously, the ESOP was
funded through preferred stock dividends. With the conversion to common stock,
the ESOP will now be funded through a charge to operating expense. This annual
charge is estimated to be approximately $800,000.

===== =====
QUARTER ENDED JULY 27, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 29, 1995.
NET SALES. The Company's net sales increased 5.8% to $142.2 million
for the quarter ended July 27, 1996 from $134.3 million for the quarter
ended July 29, 1995. The $7.9 million increase in sales is attributed
primarily to increased unit sales and, to a lessor extent, price increases.
Sales of sundry items increased by 9.1% compared with 6.8% growth reported
in the year-earlier quarter. Sales of equipment were flat when compared to
last years first quarter and after analyzing equipment sales by product
type and geographic region, the sales pattern does not suggest any
permanent shifts in long-term growth opportunities or trends.
Page 7
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit increased 5.1% to $50.1 million
for the quarter ended July 27, 1996 from $47.7 million for the quarter ended
July 29, 1995. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to the increase in
sales. The Company's gross profit margin decreased to 35.2% for the quarter
ended July 27, 1996 from 35.5% for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. The 30 basis
point gross margin decline reflected a flat U.S. gross margin and a decrease in
Canadian margin.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased 8.4% to $40.9 million for
the quarter ended July 27, 1996 from $37.8 million for the quarter ended July
29, 1995. The increase in operating expenses is primarily related to the
increase in sales. Operating expenses as a percent of sales have increased from
28.1% to 28.8% due mainly to the following three items. First, the Company's
staffing level was set in anticipation of sales increases of 10% to 11%, not the
6% level recorded in the current quarter. Second, three acquisitions have
occurred since the year ago quarter and some duplicate expenses relating to
these acquisitions still exist. Third, prior to the current quarter, the ESOP
was funded through preferred stock dividends. With the conversion to common
stock, the ESOP is now funded through a quarterly charge to operating expenses
of approximately $200,000.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased 7.6% to $9.1 million for the
quarter ended July 27, 1996 from $9.9 million for the quarter ended July 29,
1995. Operating income as a percent of net sales decreased from 7.4% to 6.4%,
mainly as a result of the decrease in the gross profit margin and an increase in
operating expenses as a percent of sales in the U.S. operations.
FINANCE INCOME. Finance income, net of expenses, was $458,000 for the
quarter ended July 27, 1996 compared to $238,000 for the quarter ended July 29,
1995. Finance income increased $220,000 or 92.4% due primarily to short term
investment of cash.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased to $96,000 for the quarter
ended July 27, 1996 from $106,000 for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. This
decrease is due mainly to a reduction in the use of the revolving bank loan.
INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rate decreased to 35.9% for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 38.4% for the year ago quarter and results
from lower state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Available liquid resources at July 27, 1996 consisted of $42.5 million cash
and cash equivalents and $17 million available on a $30 million bank line
of credit. Working capital has increased from $111.9 million as of April
27, 1996 to $118.0 million as of July 27, 1996, an increase of $6.1
million. The Company recently announced that it has signed a non-binding
letter of intent to acquire the Colwell division of Deluxe Corporation. The
consummation of this transaction will require the use of a substantial
portion of the Company's cash balances and a combination of new debt and
the Company's in place line of credit. The Company believes that funds from
operations and the remainder of its increased credit lines are sufficient
to meet any other existing and presently anticipated needs.
