Response Oncology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
(Unaudited)

Note 1-Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with 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.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes
with no effect on net earnings.  Operating results for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
Response Oncology, Inc. and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31 1995.

NET REVENUE:  The following table is a summary of net revenue by source for the
respective periods ended June 30.  Patient services revenue is recorded net of
contractual allowances and discounts.  The Company's revenue from practice
management affiliations includes practice operating expenses (other than
amounts retained by physicians) and a management fee either fixed in amount or
equal to a percentage of each affiliated oncology group's adjusted net revenue
or net operating income.  In certain affiliations, the Company may also be
entitled to a performance fee if certain financial criteria are satisfied.

service agreements with physician practices.  These costs are amortized over
the initial noncancelable 40-year terms of the related management service
agreements.  The agreements are noncancelable except for performance defaults.
In the event a practice breaches the agreement, or if the Company terminates
with cause, the practice is required to purchase all tangible assets at fair
market value and pay substantial liquidating damages.  The carrying value of
the management service agreements is reviewed for impairment at the end of each
reporting period.

Deferred charges consist primarily of startup costs representing direct and
incremental expenses incurred prior to the operational date of a new IMPACT(R)
(IMPlementing Advanced Cancer Treatments) Center which are capitalized and
amortized from the operational date over a period of two years. Capitalized 
financing costs are amortized over the term of the Credit Facility.

NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:  Net earnings per common share for the quarters
and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the respective periods.  Shares issuable
pursuant to the conversion of the long-term notes delivered by the Company in
its management affiliations are excluded since they would have been anti-
dilutive in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996.  The weighted 
average number of common shares and net earnings per share for the period 
ended June 30, 1995 have been restated to reflect a one-for-five reverse split 
effected November 1, 1995.

Note 2 - Parent Company

Response Oncology, Inc. is a subsidiary of Seafield Capital Corporation
("Seafield").

On February 10, 1995, Seafield announced its retention of a financial advisor
to evaluate and recommend steps to enhance the value of Seafield to its
shareholders.  Any transaction pursued by Seafield will be likely to result in
a significant change in the Company's ownership.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

The Company executed purchase agreements with, and entered into long-term
management services agreements ("Service Agreements") with Oncology Hematology
Group of South Florida, P.A. on January 2, 1996, Knoxville Hematology Oncology
Associates on April 14, 1996 and Jeffrey L. Paonessa, M. D., P.A. on June 19,
1996 ('the Groups") which have a total of 16 practicing physicians.  The total
consideration was approximately $37.7 million, approximately $23.1 million of
which was paid in cash, approximately $11.2 million by delivery of the
Company's long-term unsecured interest-bearing amortizing promissory notes,
approximately $2.6 million in the form of the Company's common stock and the
balance being paid over 16 calendar quarters at the rate of $50,000 per
quarter.  Under the Service Agreements, the Company receives a fee to manage
the non-medical aspects of the practices and to coordinate practice enhancement
opportunities with the physicians.

The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of all current, continuing
operations assuming the above-referenced acquisitions had been consummated on 
January 1, 1995 are as follows:

Note 4 - Due from Affiliated Physicians

Due from affiliated physicians consists of management fees earned and payable 
pursuant to the Service Agreements during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  In 
addition, the Company may also fund certain working capital needs of the Groups 
from time to time.

Note 5 - Notes Payable

In May 1996, the Company entered into a $27.5 million Credit Facility with
NationsBank and Union Planters to fund the Company's acquisition and working
capital needs and to repay its existing debt with Union Planters.  The
Credit Facility is comprised of a $20 million Acquisition Facility and a $7.5
million Working Capital Facility.  The Acquisition Facility matures May 31,
1998 and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of
between 1.5% and 2.625%, depending upon borrowing levels.  The Working Capital
Facility matures May 30, 1997, subject to a one year extension at the Company's
election, and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of
between 1.875% and 2.375%.  The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of
common stock in all of the Company's subsidiaries.  In addition, the loan
agreement contains a covenant precluding the encumbrance of the Company's
assets without the consent of NationsBank and certain other affirmative,
negative and financial covenants.  At June 30, 1996, $12,127,081 of principal
was outstanding under the Credit Facility with a current interest rate of
approximately 8.2%. The Company's available credit under the Acquisition
Facility at June 30, 1996 was $6.5 million.

Notes payable also includes a $10 million loan from Seafield which bears
interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, is unsecured and, after August 1, 1996,
is convertible at the option of Seafield into shares of the Company's common
stock at a conversion price equal to the market price of the common stock at
the time of conversion.





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

Additionally, notes payable includes the Company's long-term unsecured
amortizing promissory notes bearing interest at rates from 4% to 9%  issued as
partial consideration for the practice management affiliations.  Principal and
interest under the long-term notes may, at the election of the holders, be paid
in shares of common stock of the Company based on conversion prices ranging
from $15.50 to $17.50.  The unpaid principal amount of the long-term notes was
$11,113,681 at June 30, 1996.

Note 6 - Deferred Tax Liability

Upon the consummation of the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, the Company
recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
purchased assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies

With respect to professional and general liability risks, the Company currently
maintains an insurance policy that provides coverage during the policy period
ending August 1, 1997, on a claims-made basis, for $1,000,000 per claim in
excess of the Company retaining $25,000 per claim, and $3,000,000 in the
aggregate.  Costs of defending claims are in addition to the limit of
liability.  In addition, the Company maintains a $10,000,000 umbrella policy
with respect to potential general liability claims.  Since inception, the
Company has incurred no professional or general liability losses and as of June
30, 1996, the Company was not aware of any material pending professional or
general liability claims.

The Company is committed under a definitive agreement with a certain physician
practice to fund liquidated damages in the amount of $250,000 in the event that
the practice affiliation is not consummated on or before November 1, 1996.


Note 8 - Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

In March and October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  Both Statements are effective in 1996, and neither is currently
expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the
Company.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company completed its fourth practice
management affiliation with Southeast Florida Hematology Oncology Group, a four
physician medical oncology and hematology practice in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Company also executed definitive agreements with West Clinic, P.C., an eight
physician medical practice in Memphis, Tennessee and The Center for Hematology
Oncology, P.A., a three physician medical practice in Boca Raton, Florida.
Non-binding letters of intent have also been executed with an additional 16
physicians in Southeast Florida and East Tennessee.

On July 17, 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to the public offering of 5,300,000 shares
of its common stock, $.01 par value per share.  Of the 5,300,000 shares expected
to be offered, 4,700,000 shares are being offered by the Company and 600,000
shares by selling shareholders.  The registration statement has not yet become
effective.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Response Oncology is a comprehensive cancer management company.  The Company
provides advanced cancer treatment services through outpatient facilities known
as IMPACT(R) Centers under the direction of  approximately 350 medical
oncologists; manages the business aspects of the practices of oncologists with
whom the Company has affiliated; and conducts clinical cancer research on
behalf of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company owned or operated in joint ventures with
hospitals 41 Centers in 21 states.  Commencing with the affiliations with
Oncology Hematology Group of South Florida, P.A. in January, 1996 ("OHGSF"),
Knoxville Hematology Oncology Associates in April, 1996, ("KHOA"), Jeffrey
L. Paonessa, M. D., P.A. in June, 1996 ("Paonessa"), the Company executed its
strategy of expanding its comprehensive cancer management services through
affiliations with premier oncology groups.  Pursuant to Service Agreements, the
Company provides management services that extend to all non-medical aspects of
the operations of the affiliated practices.  The Company is responsible for
providing facilities, equipment, supplies, support personnel and management and
financial advisory services.  The Company's resulting revenue from Service
Agreements includes practice operating expenses (other than amounts retained by
physicians) and a management fee either fixed in amount or equal to a
percentage of each affiliated oncology group's adjusted net revenue or net
operating income.  In certain affiliations, the Company may also be entitled to
a performance fee if certain financial criteria are satisfied.

The Company has completed an additional practice management affiliation with
Southeast Florida Hematology Oncology Group ("Fort Lauderdale") in July 1996,
and has executed two additional definitive agreements and five non-binding 
letters of intent for practice management affiliations, furthering the 
Company's expansion into the business of managing oncology practices.

Results of operations

The Company recorded net earnings of $544,000, or $.07 per share, and
$1,061,000, or $.14 per share, for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1996 compared to net earnings of $729,000, or $.10 per share, and $1,557,000,
or $.22 per share, for the same periods last year.

Net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $15.1 million compared
to $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $3.7
million or 33%. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $28.4
million as  compared to $22.6 million, an increase of $5.8 million or 26%.  
The increase is primarily attributable to revenue from practice management 
affiliations and an increase in pharmaceutical sales to physicians, which both 
carry a lower operating margin than the Company's traditional patient services
revenue.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1996 were $11.4 million 
compared to $8.3 million for the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $3.1
million or 38%.  Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$21.8 million as compared to $16.5 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 32%.
These expenses consist of payroll costs, pharmaceutical and laboratory
expenses, medical director fees, rent expense and other operational expenses.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue were 75% and 73% for the
quarters and 77% and 73% for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  This increase is primarily attributable to operating
expenses incurred in connection with the Company's diversification into
physician practice management. Pursuant to the management service agreements 
with the practice affiliates, the Company is responsible for the operating 
expenses of the practices (net of amounts retained by physicians).  In 
addition, pharmaceutical costs increased in connection with increased sales 
of pharmaceuticals to physicians.

General and administrative costs for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1996
increased by $75,000, or 5%, from $1.4 million to $1.5 million.  These expenses
increased by $97,000, or 4%, from $2.6 million to $2.7 million for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996.  The increases are primarily attributable
to additional administrative payroll and costs related to the Company's
diversification into physician practice management.





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

Depreciation and amortization expense was $754,000 and $463,000 for the
quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of  $291,000
or 63%.  The expense increased $451,000, or 52%, from $874,000 to $1.3 million
between the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996.  The increase is primarily
attributable to the amortization of Service Agreements purchased in recently
completed affiliations.

Interest expense was $465,000 and $7,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.  Interest expense of $657,000 and $11,000 was incurred
during the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
increases of $458,000 and $646,000 for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1996 are related to notes issued in conjunction with practice management
affiliations.

The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $143,000 or 24%, from $593,000 to
$450,000, and $316,000 or 28%, from $1.1 million to $820,000, between the
quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The
provision as a percentage of net revenue was 3% for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 5% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995.
The decrease is attributable to a higher proportion of contract patient
accounts, improved collections performance and an increase in revenues from
physician sales, hospital management fees, and contract research for which
collection is more certain.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
increased $624,000 or 52% from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $1.8 million for the same period in 1996. EBITDA also increased $755,000
or 31% from $2.4 million for the six month period ended June 1995 to $3.2
million for the same period in 1996. The increase is primarily due to the
additional revenues and amortization expense related to the management service
agreements with the affiliated physicians.

Minority interest of $61,000 and $155,000 was recorded during the quarter and
six month period ended June 30, 1996 related to the operations of the Company's
majority-owned or controlled IMPACT(R) Centers in joint ventures with
hospitals.  The IMPACT(R) Centers were not operational during the comparable
periods in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $17 million with current
assets of $25.4 million and current liabilities of $8.4 million.  Working
capital as of June 30, 1996 increased $1.1 million compared to December 31,
1995.  Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments represent $256,000
of the Company's current assets; the decrease of $4.3 million as compared to
December 31, 1995 is due to cash consideration paid in the OHGSF practice
management affiliation in January 1996.  The increases in other current assets
are related to receivables acquired through practice management affiliations and
amounts due from affiliated physicians for practice management service fees.
Current liabilities increased for amounts payable for operating expenses of
practices under management and liabilities assumed as consideration in the
practice management affiliations.

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $(13,000) and $1.1 million
for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively with a
decrease of $1.1 million.  The decrease is primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivable from higher physician sales, hospital management fees, and
contract research revenues.

In April 1996, the Company obtained a $10 million loan from Seafield which
bears interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, is unsecured and, after August 1,
1996, is convertible at the option of Seafield into shares of the Company's
common stock at a conversion price equal to the market price of the common
stock at the time of conversion.  Proceeds of the loan were used to finance 
the KHOA practice management affiliation.

In May 1996, the Company entered into a $27.5 million Credit Facility with
NationsBank and Union Planters to fund the Company's transaction and working
capital needs and to repay its existing facility with Union Planters.  The
Credit Facility is comprised of a $20 million Acquisition Facility and a $7.5
million Working Capital Facility.  The Acquisition Facility matures May 31,
1998 and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of
between 1.5% and 2.625%, depending upon borrowing levels.  The Working Capital
Facility matures May 30, 1997, subject to a one year extension at the Company's
election, and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of
between 1.875% and 2.375%.  The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of
common stock in all of the Company's subsidiaries.  In addition, the loan
agreement contains a covenant precluding the encumbrance of the Company's
assets without the consent of NationsBank and certain other affirmative,
negative and financial covenants.  At June 30, 1996 $12,127,000 aggregate
principal amount was outstanding under the Credit Facility with a current
interest rate of approximately 8.2%. The Company's available credit under the 
Acquisition Facility at June 30, 1996 was $6.5 million.





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

Additionally, long-term unsecured amortizing promissory notes bearing interest
at rates from 4% to 9% were issued as partial consideration for the practice
management affiliations.  Principal and interest under the long-term notes may,
at the election of the holders, be paid in shares of common stock of the
Company based on conversion prices ranging from $15.50 to $17.50.  The unpaid
principal amount of the long-term notes was  $11,114,000 at June 30, 1996.

On February 10, 1996, Seafield announced its retention of a financial advisor
to evaluate and recommend steps to enhance the value of Seafield to its
shareholders.  Any transaction pursued by Seafield will be likely to result in
a significant change in the Company's ownership.

The Company's primary capital requirement is to fund affiliations with medical
oncology practices.  Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company completed its
fourth practice management affiliation with  Southeast Florida Hematology
Oncology Group, a four physician medical oncology and hematology practice in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  The Company also executed definitive agreements with
West Clinic, P.C., an eight physician medical practice in Memphis, Tennessee and
The Center for Hematology Oncology, P.A., a three physician medical practice in
Boca Raton, Florida.  Non-binding letters of intent have also been executed with
an additional 16 physicians in Southeast Florida and East Tennessee.  The unused
portion of the Credit Facility discussed above, cash flow from the Company's
operations and potential net proceeds from any new debt or equity offerings will
be utilized to fund practice management affiliations.

In order to consummate all of the above-referenced affiliations and to fund the
associated working capital requirements, additional cash of approximately $51
million will be required. The Company anticipates generating these funds through
the proceeds of the public offering described below or through expansion of the
existing credit facilities. In the event that the public offering of additional
stock is not successfully completed within a certain time frame, the Company
will explore other possible means of equity and debt financing.

The Company is committed under a definitive agreement with a certain physician
practice to fund liquidated damages in the amount of $250,000 in the event that
the practice affiliation is not consummated on or before November 1, 1996.

On July 17, 1996 the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to the public offering of 5,300,000 shares
of its common stock, $.01 par value per share.  Of the 5,300,000 shares
expected to be offered, 4,700,000 shares are being offered by the Company and
600,000 shares by selling shareholders.  The registration statement has not yet
become effective.

New Accounting Standards

In March and October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  Both Statements are effective in 1996, and neither is currently
expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the
Company.
