                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Professional
Detailing, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "PDI") and related notes
as included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the judgement of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Operating
results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current presentation with no effect on financial position, net
income or cash flows.

2. Secondary Public Offering of Common Stock

      On January 26, 2000, a public offering of 2,800,000 shares of the
Company's common stock was completed at a public offering price per share of
$28.00, yielding net proceeds per share after deducting underwriting discounts
of $26.35 (before deducting expenses of the offering). Of the shares offered,
1,399,312 shares were sold by the Company and 1,400,688 shares were sold by
certain selling shareholders. In addition, in connection with the exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option, an additional 420,000 shares were sold
to the underwriters on February 1, 2000 on the same terms and conditions
(210,000 shares were sold by the Company and 210,000 shares were sold by a
selling shareholder). Net proceeds to the Company after expenses of the offering
were approximately $41.7 million.

3. Acquisitions

      On May 12, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of TVG,
Inc. ("TVG") in a merger transaction. In connection with the transaction, the
Company issued 1,256,882 shares of its common stock in exchange for the
outstanding shares of TVG. The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling
of interests and, accordingly, all prior periods presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and
operations of TVG. TVG is a provider of marketing research and consulting
services as well as professional education and communication services to the
pharmaceutical industry.

      Net revenue and net income of the separate companies for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, the period preceding the acquisition, were as follows:

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

      In August 1999, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
ProtoCall, Inc. ("ProtoCall"), acquired substantially all of the operating
assets of ProtoCall, LLC, a leading provider of syndicated contract sales
services to the United States pharmaceutical industry. The purchase price was
$4.5 million (of which $4.1 million was paid at closing) plus up to an
additional $3.0 million in contingent payments payable during 2000 if ProtoCall
achieves defined performance benchmarks. This acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded $4.3 million
in goodwill (included in other long-term assets) which is being amortized over a
period of 10 years.

4. Other Investments

      In February 2000, the Company signed a three-year agreement with
iPhysicianNet Inc. ("iPhysicianNet"). In connection with this agreement, the
Company made an investment of $2.5 million in preferred stock of iPhysicianNet.
Under the agreement PDI was appointed as the exclusive contract sales
organization in the United States to be affiliated with the iPhysicianNet
network, prospectively allowing PDI to offer e-detailing capabilities to its
existing and potential clients. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2000, the Company recorded net losses related to this investment of $1,555,109
and $2,500,000, respectively, which represented its share of iPhysicianNet's
losses for the respective periods.

5. Pro Forma Information

      Prior to its acquisition in May 1999, TVG was an S corporation and not
subject to Federal income tax. During such periods the net income of TVG had
been reported by and taxed directly to the pre-acquisition shareholders rather
than TVG. Accordingly, for informational purposes, the accompanying statements
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 include a pro
forma adjustment for the income taxes which would have been recorded had TVG
been a C corporation for the periods presented based on the tax laws in effect
during those periods. The pro forma adjustment for income taxes is based upon
the statutory rates in effect for C corporations during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999. The pro forma adjustment for income taxes for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 also reflects the non-deductibility of certain
acquisition related costs.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements

      The Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," in June 1998. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters
of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This statement addresses the
accounting for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of this new statement will have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.

were classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair market
value. These investments were sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
sale resulted in a gain of $163,815, which was recognized in "Other income, net"

      PDI is organized primarily on the basis of its three principal service
offerings, which include customized contract sales services, marketing research
and consulting services, and professional education and communication services.
Marketing research and consulting services and professional education and
communication services have been combined to form the "All other" category.

charge allocating all corporate headquarters costs to each of the operating
segments. PDI evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources
to them based on revenue, net. The

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

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Various statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are
"forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management
for future operations. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements included in this report are based on current
expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and
objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgements about, among
other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future
business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that
our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of
these assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you
that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be
accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included in this report, the inclusion of these
statements should not be interpreted by anyone that our objectives and plans
will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, the factors set forth in "Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Growth," under Part I, Item 1, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

GENERAL

      We are a leading and rapidly growing contract sales organization ("CSO")
providing product detailing programs and other marketing and promotional
services to the United States pharmaceutical industry. Our primary objective is
to enhance our leadership position in the growing CSO industry and to become the
premier supplier of product detailing programs and other marketing and
promotional services to the pharmaceutical industry and other segments of the
healthcare market. We have demonstrated strong internal growth generated by
renewing and expanding programs with existing clients and by securing new
business from leading pharmaceutical companies.

      On May 12, 1999, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of TVG, Inc.
("TVG") in a merger transaction. In connection with that transaction, we issued
1,256,882 shares of our common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of
TVG. The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and,
accordingly, all prior periods presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations
of TVG. The acquisition of TVG expands the scope of high quality services that
we provide to the pharmaceutical industry. TVG has provided services to 18 of
the top 20 pharmaceutical companies. Through its Marketing Research and
Consulting division, TVG provides brand marketing strategy, product profiling,
positioning, and message development services. Projects run across the full
range of product lifecycles, with an emphasis on the critical pre-launch
planning phase. Through its Education/Communications division, TVG provides a
broad spectrum of professional education and communication services, including
dinner meetings, symposia, teleconferences and on-site hospital programs.

      On August 31, 1999, we acquired, through our wholly-owned subsidiary
ProtoCall, Inc. ("ProtoCall"), substantially all of the operating assets of
ProtoCall, LLC, a leading provider of syndicated contract sales services to the
United States pharmaceutical industry. The purchase price was $4.5 million (of
which $4.1 million was paid at closing) plus up to an additional $3.0 million in
contingent payments payable during 2000 if ProtoCall achieves defined
performance benchmarks. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The
acquisition of ProtoCall adds a syndicated sales force option to our


                                       10
<PAGE>

product offerings expanding the scope and flexibility of high quality services
that we can provide to our customers. In connection with this transaction, we
recorded $4.3 million in goodwill, which is being amortized over a period of 10
years.

      On January 26, 2000, a public offering of 2,800,000 shares of our common
stock was completed at a public offering price per share of $28.00, yielding net
proceeds per share after deducting underwriting discounts of $26.35 (before
deducting expenses of the offering). Of the shares offered, 1,399,312 shares
were sold by us and 1,400,688 shares were sold by certain selling shareholders.
In addition, in connection with the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option, an additional 420,000 shares were sold to the underwriters on February
1, 2000 on the same terms and conditions (210,000 shares were sold by us and
210,000 shares were sold by a selling shareholder). Net proceeds to us after
expenses of the offering were approximately $41.7 million.

      In February 2000, we signed a three-year agreement with iPhysicianNet Inc.
("iPhysicianNet"). In connection with this agreement, we made an investment of
$2.5 million in preferred stock of iPhysicianNet. Under the agreement we were
appointed the exclusive CSO in the United States to be affiliated with the
iPhysicianNet network, allowing us to offer e-detailing capabilities to
iPhysicianNet's and our existing and potential clients. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, we recorded net losses related to this investment of
$1,555,109 and $2,500,000, respectively, which represented our share of
iPhysicianNet's losses from the respective periods.

      Until its acquisition by us on May 12, 1999, TVG was an S corporation.
Accordingly, TVG's net income had been reported by and taxed directly to the
pre-acquisition stockholders.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1999

      Revenue. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $75.8 million, an
increase of 84.8% over revenue of $41.0 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. This increase in revenue was generated primarily from the continued
renewal and expansion of existing product detailing programs and the expansion
of our client base, including several product detailing programs that started
during the fourth quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000.

      Program expenses. Program expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were $58.1 million, an increase of 89.8% over program expenses of $30.6 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, program
expenses increased to 76.7% in the 2000 period from 74.7% in the corresponding
1999 period. This increase reflects a greater proportion of larger programs with
longer term durations which have slightly lower gross profit margins but afford
the opportunity for additional compensation through the achievement of
performance incentives.

      Compensation expense. Compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 was $6.8 million, an increase of 57.0% over compensation expense of $4.3
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
compensation expense decreased to 9.0% in the first quarter of 2000 from 10.5%
in the comparable 1999 period. This decrease as a percentage of revenue is a
result of continued operating efficiencies that we have realized through our
growth.

      Other selling, general and administrative expenses. Other selling, general
and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $3.0
million, an increase of 50.9% over other selling, general and administrative
expenses of $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of
revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 3.9% in
the first quarter of 2000 from 4.8% in the comparable 1999 period. This decrease
as a percentage of revenue is a result of continued operating efficiencies that
we have realized through our growth.

      Operating income. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was
$7.9 million compared to operating income of $2.8 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 10.4%
for the 2000 period from 6.7% in the corresponding 1999 period. Excluding
acquisition and related expenses of $1.3 million, operating income would have
been $4.1 million or 10.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      Other income, net. Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was
$0.3 million compared to other income of $0.8 million, all of which was interest
income, for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Other income for the 2000 period
consisted of interest income of $1.8 million which was partially offset by our
share in the losses of iPhysicianNet of $1.5 million. The increase in interest
income was due to the investment of the proceeds of our secondary offering and
rising interest rates.

      Provision for income taxes. Income taxes of $3.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 and $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
consisted of Federal and state corporate income taxes. TVG was an S corporation
for Federal income tax purposes until its acquisition by us on May 12, 1999 and
therefore incurred no Federal income taxes prior to the acquisition.

      Pro forma net income. We were a C corporation for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 and therefore there is no pro forma information for that period. Prior
to its acquisition by us on May 12, 1999, TVG was an S corporation. Pro forma
net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 of $1.6 million assumes that TVG
was taxed for Federal and state corporate income tax purposes as a C corporation
during that period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

      Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $147.1
million, an increase of 80.9% over revenue of $81.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This increase in revenue was generated primarily from the
continued renewal and expansion of existing product detailing programs and the
expansion of our client base, including several product detailing programs that
started during the fourth quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000.

      Program expenses. Program expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
were $108.2 million, an increase of 80.1% over program expenses of $60.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, program
expenses decreased to 73.6% in the 2000 period from 73.9% in the corresponding
1999 period. This decrease was caused by the high gross profit realized on our
incentive payments and efficiencies associated with the rollout of new programs
offset by a greater proportion of larger programs with longer term durations
which have slightly lower gross profit margins but afford the opportunity for
additional compensation through the achievement of performance incentives.

      Compensation expense. Compensation expense for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was $15.2 million, an increase of 67.8% over compensation expense of
$9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue,
compensation expense decreased to 10.3% in the first half of 2000 from 11.1% in
the comparable 1999 period. This decrease as a percentage of revenue is a result
of continued operating efficiencies that we have realized through our growth.

      Other selling, general and administrative expenses. Other selling, general
and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $7.0
million, an increase of 82.7% over other selling, general and administrative
expenses of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage
of revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses in the first half
of 2000 were consistent with the first half of 1999.

      Operating income. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $16.7 million compared to operating income of $7.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased to 11.3% for the 2000 period from 8.6% in the corresponding 1999
period. Excluding acquisition and related expenses of $1.3 million, operating
income would have been $8.4 million, or 10.3%, for the six months ended June 30,
1999.

      Other income, net. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$0.9 million compared to other income of $1.6 million, all of which was interest
income, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Other income for the 2000 period
consisted of interest income of $3.4 million which was partially offset by our
share in the losses of iPhysicianNet of $2.5 million. The increase in interest
income was due to the investment of the proceeds of our secondary offering and
rising interest rates.

      Provision for income taxes. Income taxes of $7.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 consisted of Federal and state corporate income taxes. TVG was an S
corporation for Federal income tax purposes until its acquisition by us on May
12, 1999 and therefore incurred no Federal income taxes prior to the
acquisition.

      Pro forma net income. We were a C corporation for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and therefore there is no pro forma information for that period.
Prior to its acquisition by us on May 12, 1999, TVG was an S corporation. Pro
forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 of $4.6 million assumes
that TVG was taxed for Federal and state corporate income tax purposes as a C
corporation during that period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      As of June 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$111.8 million and working capital of $106.3 million compared to cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $57.8 million and working capital of $53.1 million
at December 31, 1999.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $13.0 million, an increase of $3.7 million from cash provided by
operating activities of $9.3 million for the same period in 1999. The main
component of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was net income from operations of $10.5 million. The balances in "Other
changes in assets and liabilities" may fluctuate depending on a number of
factors, including the number and size of programs, contract terms and other
timing issues. These fluctuations may vary in size and direction each reporting
period.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net cash used in investing
activities was $2.7 million compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $0.4 million for the same period in 1999. Net cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 consisted of $2.5
million in connection with the investment in iPhysicianNet and $1.8 million in
purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by the sale of $1.6
million in short-term investments.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net cash provided by financing
activities of $43.7 million consisted primarily of the net proceeds from our
secondary offering of $41.7 million, the repayment of loan from officer of $1.4
million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.6 million.
