MINNTECH <MNTX> SEES FIRST QUARTER LOSS
Minntech Corp said it expects
to report loss for its fiscal 1988 first quarter to end June
30, due to start-up costs related to a new membrane oxygenator
and water filtration products.
    However, revenues and earnings should consistently increase
throughout the remainder of the year, President Louis Cosentino
told analysts.
