GENERAL

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,
1998 (unaudited) and the unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997.  The financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and
consequently do not include all the disclosures normally made in an Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements 
included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial 
statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Innovations, Inc. formed in July 1995 and its direct and indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries, Young Dental Manufacturing Company, Lorvic Holdings, Inc., The
Lorvic Corporation, Young Dental International, Inc., Denticator International,

intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

3. ACQUISITIONS:

     On February 27, 1998, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Panoramic, an Indiana corporation.The purchase price was financed principally
through cash from the remaining net proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering and additionally through the issuance of $1,000 (62,500 shares) of the
Company's common stock.The acquisition of Panoramic was accounted for as a
purchase transaction. The purchase price was allocated based upon preliminary 
estimates of fair value. Differences between the amounts included herein, if
any, and final  allocations of purchase price are not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets 
acquired was $10,425 , is comprised of goodwill, a non-compete covenant and
customer database programs and is being amortized over 40, 2 and 5 years, 
respectively. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

     In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company elected APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan.


7. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     During 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (Diluted
EPS) include the dilutive effect of stock options, if any, using the treasury
stock method. For the first quarter ended March 31,1998, the weighted average
shares outstanding during the period of 6,731,129, used for Basic EPS, was
increased by the dilutive impact of stock options of 58,831, for a total of
6,789,960 shares used for Diluted EPS.


8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     In connection with the acquisition of Denticator on July 22, 1996,an
employment agreement (the Agreement) with Denticator's President and Chief
Executive Officer (the Individual) was executed. On April 6,1998, the Company
agreed to an amendment (the Amendment) to the Agreement. The Agreement required
the Company to deliver common stock in the number of shares equal to $800
divided by the last reported sale price to the Individual if the Individual is
employed by the Company on July 22, 1998. The Agreement also required the       
Company to repurchase up to 40% of the stock if the Individual provided 10 days
advance written notice to the Company before delivery of the common stock. The
Amendment requires the Company to pay cash in the amount of $800 on July 22, 
1998 with no delivery of any common stock to the Individual if the Individual
is employed by the Company on July 22, 1998.  The Company is accruing $800
evenly over the two year period and recorded $100 of compensation expense for
each of the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and March 31,1997.  As of March 31,
1998, accounts payable and accrued liabilities include $676 related to this
Agreement.

9. CONTINGENCIES:

     On May 30, 1997, two former employees of Young Dental and a corporation
formed by them (the "Adverse Parties") filed a Petition against Young Dental in
the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the "Current Action").
The Current Action results from an action brought in 1993 by Young Dental
against the Adverse Parties in the Federal District Court for the Eastern
District of Missouri (the "Prior Action"), alleging, among other things, patent
infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets. The Prior Action was
resolved in favor of the Adverse Parties. In the Current Action, consisting of
three counts alleging malicious prosecution and three counts alleging abuse of
process related to the Prior Action, the Adverse Parties seek actual damages in
unspecified amounts in excess of $25 and, in a separate count, seek punitive
damages. The Adverse Parties also seek to recover their attorneys' fees
incurred in the Prior Action, which they claim exceed $750. While the Current
Action, which is scheduled for trial late in 1998, is still in the discovery
stage, based upon the advice of legal counsel, the Company believes it has
adequate defenses to each of plaintiffs' claims and intends to defend the
Current Action vigorously.

     The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") examined Lorvic's federal income
tax returns for the years ended March 31, 1992 through 1995, and proposed
deficiencies in federal income taxes for those years in an aggregate amount of
$766 due to the classification of certain intangible assets. Lorvic filed
petitions with the United States Tax Court contesting these proposed
deficiencies and the matter was tried in January 1998. The parties are
currently briefing their positions, and the Company anticipates a decision from
the Tax Court within the next year. In accordance with the stock purchase
agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired Lorvic in May 1995, the
previous stockholders of Lorvic are responsible for the settlement of this
matter to the extent of $700 held in an escrow fund, together with earnings
thereon, plus an additional $200 to cover any interest and penalties related to
such matters. While there can be no such assurance, the Company believes the
escrowed amounts will be sufficient to satisfy these deficiencies in full for
all affected years if required.

     In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these claims and
lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.





Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

NET SALES
     Net sales increased $618,000, or 9.4%, to $7.2 million in 1998 from $6.5
million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of
Panoramic Corporation on February 27, 1998.  


                                       8



<PAGE>   9





GROSS PROFIT
     Gross profit increased $262,000, or 6.8%, to $4.1 million in 1998 from
$3.9 million in 1997.  Gross margin decreased to 57.5% of net sales in 1998
from 58.9% in 1997.  Gross profit benefited from the acquisition of Panoramic
and production improvements at Denticator.  The Company's gross margin
decreased as a result of Panoramic which historically has lower margins.  Gross
margins at Denticator improved as a result of its injection molding operations
versus this same quarter in 1997 when Denticator was purchasing its DPA
components from an outside vendor.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     SG&A expenses increased $185,000, or 9.6%, to $2.1 million in 1998 from
$1.9 million in 1997.  As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to
29.5% in 1998 from 29.4% in 1997. SG&A expenses primarily increased due to the
addition of Panoramic. Excluding the Panoramic acquisition, SG&A expenses
decreased $55,000. Legal costs relating to the countersuit brought by two former
employees and research and development expenses related to prototype tooling 
and services on product development projects increased. 

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
     Income from operations increased $77,000 or 4.0%, to $2.0 million in 1998
from $1.9 million in 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE
     Interest expense decreased $307,000 to $0 in 1998 from $307,000 in 1997.
The decrease was due to the retirement of all of the Company's bank debt from
the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering in November, 1997.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
     Other income (expense) increased $156,000 to $161,000 in 1998 from $5,000
in 1997 primarily due to interest income earned in the first two months of the
current year quarter (prior to the Panoramic acquisition) on the net proceeds
from  the initial public offering in excess of what was used to retire bank
debt.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
     Provision for income taxes increased $220,000 for 1998 to $823,000 from
$603,000 for 1997 as a result of a 33% increase in the income before income
taxes versus the year ago period and an effective tax rate of 38% versus 37% in
the year earlier quarter.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through
cash flow from operating activities and, to a lesser extent, through borrowings
under its credit facilities.  Net cash flow from operating activities was $2.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $2.3 million in the
prior year quarter.  Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment
were $227,000 in the first quarter of 1998 in line with the Company's estimates
for the year.  Consistent with the Company's historical capital expenditures,
future capital expenditures are expected to include injection molding
equipment, computer numeric controlled equipment and upgrades to production
machinery and data processing.

     On November 10, 1997, the Company used $13.2 million of the $25.2 million
net proceeds from its initial public offering to repay the balance outstanding
under its Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.  The Company used the $12
million balance of such net proceeds to provide a portion of the $13.6 million
used by the Company to buy assets and repay debt of Panoramic.  In February
1998, the Company's lending bank provided a one-year commitment, subject to
final documentation and the absence of any material advers change in the
Company, to provide the Company with a line of credit for up to $15 million on
an unsecured basis.  Borrowings under the line would bear interest at the
90-day LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points. 

     On May 30, 1997, two former employees of Young Dental and a corporation
formed by them (the "Adverse Parties") filed a Petition against Young Dental in
the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the "Current Action").
The Current Action results from an action brought in 1993 by Young Dental
against the Adverse Parties in the Federal District Court for the Eastern
District of Missouri (the "Prior Action"), alleging, among other things, patent
infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets. The Prior Action was
resolved in favor of the Adverse Parties. In the Current Action, consisting of
three counts alleging malicious prosecution and three counts alleging abuse of
process related to the Prior Action, the Adverse Parties seek actual damages in
unspecified amounts in excess of $25 and, in a separate count, seek punitive
damages. The Adverse Parties also seek to recover their attorneys' fees incurred
in the Prior Action, which they claim exceed $750. While the Current Action,
which is scheduled for trial late in 1998, is still in the discovery stage,
based upon the advice of legal counsel, the Company believes it has adequate
defenses to each of plaintiffs' claims and intends to defend the Current Action
vigorously.

     The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") examined Lorvic's federal income
tax returns for the years ended March 31, 1992 through 1995, and proposed
deficiencies in federal income taxes for those years in an aggregate amount of
$766 due to the classification of certain intangible assets. Lorvic filed
petitions with the United States Tax Court contesting these proposed
deficiencies and the matter was tried in January 1998. The parties are
currently briefing their positions, and the Company anticipates a decision from
the Tax Court within the next year. In accordance with the stock purchase
agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired Lorvic in May 1995, the
previous stockholders of Lorvic are responsible for the settlement of this
matter to the extent of $700 held in an escrow fund, together with earnings
thereon, plus an additional $200 to cover any interest and penalties related to
such matters. While there can be no such assurance, the Company believes the
escrowed amounts will be sufficient to satisfy these deficiencies in full for
all affected years if required.

     Anticipated internal cash flows and borrowings under the Company's
anticipated line of credit facility are expected to provide sufficient
liquidity for working capital needs, capital expenditures and potential
acquisitions through 1998.
