                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 2000

(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the
periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted as allowed by Form 10-Q. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share was
computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
These shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of options as determined
by the application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of basic
earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Options to purchase 148,846 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging
from $16.25 to $21.875 per share were outstanding during the second quarter of
2000 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of
the common shares. The options, which expire through January 2009, were still
outstanding at June 30, 2000.



(3) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income
and its components. The Company adopted the statement in its quarter ending
March 31, 1998. The Company does not have any other items of comprehensive
income. As such, comprehensive income is equal to net income as presented in the
consolidated statements of income.


(4) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition", in December 1999. This bulletin established guidelines for revenue
recognition and is effective no later then the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company believes that the adoption
of the guidance provided in SAB No. 101 will not have a material impact on
future operating results.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in June 1998. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
for hedging activities. The standard is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company believes that the
adoption of the guidance provided in SFAS 133 will not have a material impact
on future operating results.

(5) ACQUISITIONS

In April, 2000 the Company acquired certain assets of Pro-Dental Laboratory in
West Caldwell, New Jersey. The acquisition, which has been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2000, has been accounted
for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.

ITEM 2.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

======================================================


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital increased from $16,713,000 at December 31, 1999 to
$19,513,000 at June 30, 2000. Cash and equivalents decreased $194,000 from
$11,215,000 at December 31, 1999. Operating activities provided $2,137,000 in
cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash outflows related to
dental laboratory acquisitions totaled $1,665,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $2,462,000 for the same period in 1999. Capital
expenditures totaled $1,036,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to $677,000 for the same period in 1999.

     The Company maintains a financing agreement (the "Agreement") with Citizens
Bank of Massachusetts (formerly State Street Bank and Trust Company) (the
"Bank"). The Agreement, as amended and extended on June 27, 1998, includes
revolving lines of credit of $4,000,000 and $8,000,000. The interest rate on
both revolving lines of credit is the prime rate minus 0.5% or the LIBOR rate
plus 1.5%, at the Company's option. Both revolving lines of credit mature on
June 1, 2001. A commitment fee of one eighth of 1% is payable on the unused
amount of both revolving lines of credit. At June 30, 2000 the full principal
amount was available to the Company under both revolving lines of credit.

     Management believes that cash flow from operations and the Company's
existing financing will be sufficient to meet contemplated operating and capital
requirements, including costs associated with anticipated acquisitions, if any,
in the foreseeable future.

     This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Certain factors that could affect capital expenditures, the Company's
requirements for capital, the costs associated with anticipated acquisitions and
the Company's results of operations include general economic conditions, the
availability of laboratories for purchase by the Company, the ability of the
Company to acquire and successfully operate additional dental laboratories,
governmental regulation of health care, trends in the dental industry towards
managed care, other factors affecting patient visits to the Company's clients,
increases in labor and materials costs and other risks indicated from time to
time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Net Sales

     Net sales increased $3,581,000 or 10.2% in the six months ended June 30,
2000 over the corresponding period of the prior year. Approximately $289,000 of
this increase was attributable to acquisitions, with the remaining increase
representing same laboratory sales growth.

Cost of Goods Sold

     Cost of goods sold, which consists principally of labor and related
benefits, cost of materials, and laboratory overhead, increased by $1,946,000.
As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 57.4% to 57.1%,
representing a gross margin increase of .3%. Increases in materials costs were
offset by improvements in labor productivity and decreases in laboratory
overhead on a percentage basis. The continued rising cost of palladium, a
component of dental alloys used in the manufacture of many of the Company's
products, continues to be a factor in the increased materials costs. Since the
cost of this commodity shows no sign of returning to historical levels, each of
the Company's laboratories has implemented a program to either switch its
current palladium customers to alternative metals, such as gold, or to recover a

Total Operating Expenses

     Total operating expenses, which consist of (i) selling expenses, the cost
of the Company's pick-up and delivery services and administrative expenses at
the dental laboratory level, (ii) costs of operation by the Company's corporate
headquarters and field support services and (iii) amortization expense,
increased by $1,005,000 or 9.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2000 over
the corresponding period in 1999.

     Expenses related to the Laboratory Incentive Compensation plan and the
Executive Incentive Compensation plan increased as a result of increased
operating income. In addition, expenses attributable to the amortization
expenses associated with acquired dental laboratories increased. The remainder
of the increase was attributable to rising costs associated with pick-up and
delivery services.

     Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales from 29.7% to
29.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with the corresponding
period in 1999 as a result of the higher sales volume.

Operating Income

     Operating income increased by $630,000 or 13.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 over the corresponding period in 1999. The increase was mainly the
result of higher sales volume and reductions in cost of goods sold as a
percentage of net sales. Additionally, operating expenses slightly decreased as
a percentage of net sales for the same period.

Other Expense

     Other expense increased by $40,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to
customer use of credit cards. This expense alone increased by $39,000.
Additionally, there was a decrease in rental income.

Interest Income

     Interest income increased by $140,000 or 116.5% in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 over the corresponding period in 1999. The increase was primarily
due to increased investment principal as well as higher short-term interest
rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The Company's provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30,
2000 increased to $2,140,000 from $1,857,000 in the corresponding period in
1999. The effective tax rate has decreased slightly from 40.2% to 40.0%. The tax
provision in future periods may increase depending in part on the level and
nature of the Company's acquisition activities.

Net Income

     As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 increased by $447,000 or 16.2% over the corresponding period
in 1999. Net income per share, on a diluted basis, increased from $0.78 per
share to $0.90 per share.
