PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
[UNAUDITED]
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The following pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 31, 1998,
and the condensed  combined  statements of operations for the year ended October
31,  1997 and the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998,  give  effect to the
following:

On April 9, 1998, Bio-Reference Laboratories,  Inc. [the "Company"] acquired the
assets and certain  liabilities of Medilabs,  Inc. ["MLI"] from LTC Services and
Holdings,  Inc.  ["Holdings"]  and a wholly- owned  subsidiary of Long-Term Care
Services, Inc. ["LTC"].

The acquisition will be effective April 9, 1998 for accounting purposes and will
be accounted for as a purchase.  The  operations of Medilabs will be included in
the Company's results of operations commencing April 9, 1998

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  MLI  certain  key  employees  signed
employment  agreements with the Company for an unspecified period which included
a six month non-competition  clause. In addition,  LTC, Holdings, two affiliated
corporations and an employee of LTC signed non-competition agreements.

The purchase  price was  $5,500,000  consisting  of cash  payments of $4,000,000
delivered   by  BRLI  at  the  closing   [including   $50,000  of  payments  for
non-competition  agreements with LTC, Holdings, two affiliated  corporations and
an employee of LTC and $200,000 of payments for access and use through  April 8,
1999 of a laboratory  hardware and software system of significant  importance to
the MLI business) and delivery by BRLI of its $1,500,000 promissory note payable
without interest in three semi-annual installments commencing one year after the
closing. In addition,  BRLI paid an MLI obligation of $122,366 at the closing to
an MLI  affiliated  entity for MLI's use through the closing  date of a piece of
analytical  equipment  which will  continue to be used by MLI after the closing.
The Stock  Purchase  Agreement  also  provides  for a maximum of  $1,500,000  in
additional  payments to be made by BRLI if certain  revenues are realized by MLI
after closing.

The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of the
Company and Medilabs  giving effect to the  acquisition  and the assumptions and
adjustments  in the  accompanying  notes  to the pro  forma  combined  financial
statements.

The pro forma  condensed  combined  balance  sheet assumes the  acquisition  was
consummated on January 31, 1998. The pro forma condensed combined  statements of
operations  give  effect  to  this  transaction  as if it  had  occurred  at the
beginning of the earliest period  presented.  The pro forma  condensed  combined
financial  statements  are based on the historical  financial  statements of the
Company and Medilabs.  These pro forma condensed combined  financial  statements
may not be indicative  of the results that  actually  would have occurred if the
acquisition had taken place on the dates indicated.

                            INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Medilabs, Inc.
  Valley Cottage, New York



            We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Medilabs,  Inc. as
of December 31, 1997, and the related  statements of  operations,  shareholders'
deficit,  and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended  December
31, 1997.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

            We  conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

            In our opinion,  the financial  statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Medilabs, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997,  and the results of their  operations and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period  ended  December  31, 1997,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

[1] Organization and Business

Medilabs,  Inc. [the  "Company"],  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Long Term Care
Services,  Inc. was  incorporated  on March 18, 1994 to initially  engage in the
business of developing and marketing on-site medical screening examinations. The
Company's  emphasis  has  been  in  the  clinical   laboratory  segment  of  its
operations,  principally  servicing the greater New York  metropolitan  area. On
April 9, 1998,  the Company was sold to  Bio-Reference  Laboratories,  Inc. [See
Subsequent Event Note].

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue  Recognition  - Revenues  are  recognized  at the time the  services are
performed. Revenues on the statements of operations are as follows:

  ------------                                         =========== ===========

A  number  of  proposals  for  legislation  are  under  discussion  which  could
substantially   reduce   Medicare  and  Medicaid   reimbursements   to  clinical
laboratories. Depending upon the nature of regulatory action, and the content of
legislation,  the Company could  experience a  significant  decrease in revenues
from Medicare and Medicaid,  which could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company.  The  Company is unable to predict,  however,  the extent to which such
actions will be taken.

Contractual  Credits and  Provision  for Doubtful  Accounts - An  allowance  for
contractual  credits  is  determined  based  upon a review of the  reimbursement
policies and subsequent  collections for the different types of receivables.  An
allowance for doubtful  accounts is determined  based upon a percentage of total
receivables.  The  aggregate  allowance,  which is shown  net  against  accounts
receivable, was $5,604,289 as of December 31, 1997.

Inventory - Inventory  is stated at the lower of cost [on a first-in,  first-out
basis] or market. Inventory consists primarily of clinical supplies.

Deferred  Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible  amounts in the future
based on  enacted  tax laws and rates  applicable  to the  periods  in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income.

Valuation  allowances  are  established  when  necessary to reduce  deferred tax
assets to the amount  expected  to be  realized.  Income tax  expense is the tax
payable or refundable  for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

[2] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Continued]

Impairment  - Certain  long-term  assets of the Company  including  goodwill are
reviewed  at least  annually  as to  whether  their  carrying  value has  become
impaired,  pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ["SFAS"] No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Management  considers assets to be
impaired if the  carrying  value  exceeds the future  projected  cash flows from
related operations [undiscounted and without interest charges]. If impairment is
deemed to exist,  the  assets  will be written  down to fair value or  projected
discounted cash flows from related operations.  Management also re-evaluates the
periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives [See Note 3].

Property  and   Equipment  -  Property  and   equipment  are  carried  at  cost.
Depreciation is computed by the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful
lives  of the  respective  assets  which  range  from 2 to 15  years.  Leasehold
improvements  are amortized over the life of the lease,  which is  approximately
five years.

The statements of operations  reflect  depreciation  expense related to property
and equipment of $737,390 and $668,120 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill - Goodwill  represents  the excess of the cost of company over the fair
value of its net  assets  at the  date the  Company  was  acquired  and is being
amortized over 10-40 years. The statements of operations reflected  amortization
for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996 of  $249,671  and  $240,632,
respectively.

At December 31, 1997, the Company's management  determined that the goodwill was
impaired as a result of the subsequent  sale of certain of the Company's  assets
and  liabilities  and resulting value  therefore  determined.  Accordingly,  the
Company  recorded a  write-down  in the  amount of  $3,608,394  to  reflect  the
estimated  value  of  $2,827,496  as  derived  from the  subsequent  sale of the
business [See Note 13].

In  addition,  goodwill  also  included  the  excess of the cost of Long  Island
Laboratories  Associates  over the fair  value of its net  assets at the date of
acquisition and was being amortized on the straight-line method over 6-40 years.
The statements of operations reflected  amortization expense related to goodwill
for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997 and  1996 of  $121,622  and  $86,050,
respectively. Such amount was written off as of December 31, 1997 [See Note 3].

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets represents covenants not-to compete in the
amount of $325,000 and are amortized using the straight-line  method over 4.5-10
years.  The statements of operations  reflect  amortization  expense  related to
intangible  assets of $64,192 and $45,359 for the years ended  December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

Advertising  Costs  -Advertising  costs are expensed when incurred.  Advertising
costs  amounted to $36,660 and $59,864 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents  - The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  debt
instruments  purchased  with an original  maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.  The Company did not have any cash equivalents at December 31,
1997.

[3] Acquisition

On  February  1, 1996,  the  Company  purchased  certain  assets of Long  Island
Laboratory Associates ["LILA"] for approximately  $3,295,000 and assumed certain
liabilities of approximately $385,000.

Pro forma net  patient  revenues  and net  income  for 1996  would not have been
materially different from actual amounts if the acquisition of LILA had occurred
on January 1, 1996.

The  Company's  acquisition  was  accounted  for  using the  purchase  method of
accounting,  and the  operations of the acquired  laboratory was included in the
Company's  results  of  operations  from the  date of  acquisition.  The  excess
purchase price over fair value of net assets  acquired for the  acquisition  has
been  recorded as goodwill  and other  identified  intangibles,  which was being
amortized over the estimated lives ranging from 6 to 25 years.

At December 31, 1997,  the  Company's  management  determined  that goodwill was
impaired. As a result, the Company wrote-off goodwill of $2,879,121. The Company
wrote-off the assets after it determined  that the  amortization  of the asset's
balance over its remaining life could not be recovered  through projected future
discounted cash flows.

[4] Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of various automobile loans with a credit group maturing
through  October 1999 with  interest  rates  ranging from 8.9 to 11.75  percent,
aggregate monthly payments of $10,890 and secured by automobiles.

Maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 1997 in each of the next five years
are as follows:

1998                                $    84,213
1999                                     17,782

  -----                             ===========

[5] Income Taxes

At December  31,  1997,  the Company had net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately  $7,531,000 for federal income tax purposes, which expire in years
2009 through 2012. In addition,  the Company had net operating  losses for state
purposes. The Company operates in several states,  however, most of its business
is conducted in the New Jersey and New York area.  The following  summarizes the
operating loss carryforwards by year of expiration.

At December  31,  1997,  the Company has a deferred  tax asset of  approximately
$3,012,000 and a valuation  allowance of approximately  $3,012,000 to the asset,
an increase of  $1,156,000  since  December  31,  1996.  The  deferred tax asset
primarily relates to net operating loss carryforwards.

[7] Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases various office and laboratory  facilities and equipment under
triple net operating  leases expiring  through  November 2000.  Several of these
leases contain renewal options for three to five year periods.

Total expense for property and equipment rental for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 was $578,000 and $539,000,  respectively. There were no contingent
rental amounts due through December 31, 1997.

Aggregate future minimum rental payments on  noncancelable  operating leases are

[8] Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to a number of asserted
and unasserted potential claims. In the opinion of management, the resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

[9] Insurance

The Company  maintains  professional  liability  insurance of  $3,000,000 in the
aggregate,  with a per occurrence limit of $1,000,000.  In addition, the Company
maintains excess commercial insurance of $10,000,000 per occurrence. The Company
believes,  but cannot  assure,  that its insurance  coverage is adequate for its
current  business needs. A determination  of Company  liability for uninsured or
underinsured  acts or  omissions  could  have a material  adverse  affect on the
Company's operations.

[10] Concentrations of Credit Risk

At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  had  approximately  $132,493 in cash and
certificates of deposit balances at financial  institutions which were in excess
of the federally insured limits.

Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally  diversified due to
the large number of patients  comprising  the client base. The Company does have
significant  receivable  balances with government  payors and various  insurance
carriers.  Generally,  the Company does not require collateral or other security
to support customer  receivables,  however, the Company continually monitors and
evaluates its client acceptance and collection  procedures to minimize potential
credit  risks  associated  with  its  accounts  receivable  and  establishes  an
allowance for  uncollectible  accounts and as a  consequence,  believes that its
accounts  receivable  credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is not material
to the financial statements.

[11] Employee Benefit Plan

In 1995, the Company began sponsoring the Medilabs,  Inc. 401(k)  Profit-Sharing
Plan.  Employees  become eligible for  participation  after attaining the age of
eighteen,  completing  one year of service and  maintaining  a minimum of twenty
hours per week.  Participants  may elect to contribute up to fourteen percent of
their compensation,  as defined in the Plan Adoption Agreement,  to a maximum of
$9,500 in 1997 and 1996 as  adjusted  for  inflation.  The Company may choose to
make a matching contribution to the plan for each participant who has elected to
make tax-deferred  contributions  for the plan year, at a percentage  determined
each year by the Company.  For the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  the
Company made matching  contributions of $93,822 and $83,425,  respectively,  and
charged those amounts to operations.  If the Company elects to match participant
contributions,  the employer  contribution will be fully vested after the fourth

Effective  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  107,  "Disclosure  About  Fair  Value  of  Financial
Instruments," which requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for
financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet.
The fair value of the financial  instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily

fair value amount  consider the tax  consequences  of realization or settlement.
The following table summarizes financial instruments by individual balance sheet
classifications:

[13] New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ["SFAS"] No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." SFAS
No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier
application is permitted.  Reclassification of financial  statements for earlier
periods  provided for  comparative  purposes is required.  The Company is in the
process of determining its preferred  format.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 will
have no impact on the Company's  consolidated  results of operations,  financial
position or cash flows.

The FASB has issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About Segments of an Enterprise
and  Related  Information."  SFAS No. 131  changes how  operating  segments  are
reported in annual  financial  statements and requires the reporting of selected
information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial  reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS No. 131 is effective for periods beginning after December 15,
1997, and comparative  information for earlier years is to be restated. SFAS No.
131 need not be applied to interim  financial  statements in the initial year of
its  application.  The Company is in the process of  evaluating  the  disclosure
requirements.  The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
