The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of LabOne, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Head Office Reference
Laboratory Limited (a Canadian corporation).  All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, it reflects all adjustments which are necessary to
fairly state the Company's financial position at June 30, 1995, and
December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
appropriate in the circumstances, and included in the financial statements
are certain amounts based on management's estimates and judgments.

The financial information herein is not necessarily representative of a
full year's operations because levels of sales, capital additions and
other factors fluctuate throughout the year.  These same considerations
apply to all year-to-year comparisons.  See the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, for additional

The Company provides risk appraisal, clinical and substance-abuse laboratory
testing services to insurance companies, physicians and employers.

LabOne provides risk appraisal laboratory testing services to the insurance
industries in the United States and Canada.  The tests performed by the
Company are specifically designed to assist an insurance company in
objectively evaluating the mortality and morbidity risks posed by policy
applicants.  The majority of the testing is performed on individual life
insurance policy applicants.  The Company also provides testing services
on individual and group medical and disability policy applicants.

LabOne's clinical laboratory testing services are provided to the health care
industry to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.  The Company has
entered into contracts with several professional organizations to serve as
LabOne approved service centers for the collection of specimens for testing.
LabOne plans to continue to increase the number of these sites beyond the
base of over 200 sites in more than 30 metropolitan areas.  Additionally, the
Company maintains its own courier fleet or coordinates the retrieval of
specimens for transport to the laboratory.

LabOne is certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) to perform substance-abuse testing services for
federally regulated employers.  The Company markets substance-abuse testing
services throughout the country to both regulated and nonregulated employers.
The Company's 24 to 48 hour turnaround and multiple testing options help
clients reduce down time for affected employees and meet mandated drug
screening guidelines.

In July 1995, LabOne announced that it and PCS Health Systems had signed an
agreement with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (The Guardian)
to provide the Lab Card laboratory benefit management (LBM) program to certain
Guardian plan holders.  Initially, laboratory testing services will be offered
in Northern California, involving more than 30,000 covered lives.  It is
anticipated that services under this agreement will begin during the third
quarter of 1995.  Subsequent to service in Northern California, LabOne
anticipates that its services may be offered to The Guardian's customer base
throughout the nation.  The Guardian provides health coverage to over
1,500,000 people in the United States.

                                   Page 7


Beginning the third quarter 1995, the Lab Card Program will be offered
nationwide through an active sales and marketing effort to insurance carriers,
as well as to self-insured and partially-insured companies and other
organizations.  Through its LBM program, LabOne has developed Lab Card to
reduce the total cost of outpatient laboratory testing by as much as 50
percent.  By using Lab Card, patients incur no out-of-pocket expenses for
outpatient lab work, and their employers save substantially against their
current lab expenditures.  The Lab Card Program does not have the incidental
administrative costs associated with many benefit programs and is offered as
an optional benefit used at the discretion of the individual patient.
Agreements signed as of July 1, 1995, including The Guardian, bring the total
of lives covered under the Lab Card Program to more than 225,000.


SECOND QUARTER ANALYSIS

Revenue in the second quarter 1995 was $14.6 million as compared to $15.6
million in the same period last year.  The decrease of $1.0 million (6%) can
be attributed primarily to a decrease in insurance laboratory revenue of $1.9
million, partially offset by an increase in clinical and substance-abuse
laboratory testing (SAT) revenues of $1.0 million.  The total number of
applicants tested in the second quarter 1995 decreased by 9% as compared to
the same quarter last year primarily due to a national decline in the number
of life insurance policies written.  Average revenue per insurance applicant
declined 7% during the second quarter 1995 as compared to the second quarter
1994 due to continued competitive pressures.

Cost of sales increased $0.1 million (1%) in the second quarter 1995 as
compared to the second quarter 1994. This increase is due primarily to
increases in payroll, rent expense, clinical kit supplies and outside lab
services, all related to the clinical expansion.  These were partially offset
by a decrease Canadian expenses, depreciation expense and net postage.  The
Company consolidated its Canadian laboratory testing with the Lenexa, Kansas
facility during the third quarter 1994, resulting in a decrease in costs of
sales.  Clinical and SAT cost of sales expenditures during the second quarter
1995 were $2.0 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million (2%) in
the second quarter 1995 as compared to the prior year due primarily to
increases in commission expense, consulting, travel and entertainment expenses
and bad debt accruals.  These were partially offset by decreases in
depreciation and payroll taxes and benefits expense.  Clinical and SAT
overhead expenditures during the second quarter 1995 were $1.0 million.

Nonoperating income increased $0.2 million due to an increase in investment
income.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter 1995 was 38.6% as
compared to 27.9% during the same quarter in 1994.  During the second quarter
1994, the tax rate was impacted by a tax adjustment of $0.2 million related to
the closure and liquidation of the HORL (UK) operations.

The combined effect of the above factors resulted in net earnings of $1.0
million or $0.08 per share in the second quarter 1995 as compared to $1.9
million or $0.14 per share in the same period last year.





                                    Page 8

YEAR TO DATE ANALYSIS

Total revenue in the first six months of 1994 was $29.3 million as compared to
$30.8 million in the same period last year.  The decrease of $1.5 million or
5% can be attributed primarily to a 7% decrease in the total number of
applicants tested in the six month period and a 5% decrease in the average
revenue per applicant.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in
clinical and substance-abuse testing revenue.

Cost of sales increased $0.7 million (5%) year to date as compared to the
prior year.  This increase is due primarily to increases in payroll, rent
expense, laboratory supplies and outside lab services, all related to the
clinical expansion.  These were partially offset by a decrease in Canadian
expenses, depreciation expense and net postage expense.  Clinical and SAT cost
of sales expenditures for the year were $4.1 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million (8%) in
the six month period ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the prior year due
to increases in commission expense, payroll, consulting and travel and
entertainment expenses.  These were partially offset by decreases in
depreciation and repairs and maintenance expense.  Clinical and SAT overhead
expenditures during the six month period were $2.0 million.

The effective income tax rate increased from $35.0% during the first six
months of 1994 to 36.9% during the same period in 1995.  The prior year was
impacted by a tax adjustment related to the closure and liquidation of the
HORL (UK) operations.

The combined effect of the above factors resulted in net earnings of $2.2
million or $0.17 per share in the six month period ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to $3.9 million or $0.29 per share in the same period last year.


FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LabOne's working capital position decreased by $1.1 million to $47.5 million
at June 30, 1995, from $48.6 million at December 31, 1994.  This decrease is
primarily due to dividends paid and capital additions exceeding cash provided
by operations.  The dividend paid during the second quarter 1995 was $2.3
million or $0.18 per share.

Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $0.6 million in the second
quarter 1995 as compared to $1.1 million in 1994.  There were no treasury
stock purchases in the second quarter, however 2,477 shares of treasury stock
were issued for exercised options, and 5,576 shares were issued for directors'
stock compensation.  The total number of shares held in treasury at June 30,
1995, was approximately 1.9 million at a total cost of $22.2 million or $11.38
per share.

In May 1995, LabOne's Board of Directors declared the second quarter 1995
dividend of $0.18 per common share.  This dividend was paid on June 2, 1995,
to stockholders of record as of May 21, 1995.  The Board will review the
dividend payment policy on a periodic basis.  There are currently no
restrictions that would limit the Company's ability to make future dividend
payments.


                                    Page 9

The Company had no borrowings in the second quarter 1995.  At June 30, 1995,
LabOne had a total unsecured line of credit of $1.0 million that may be used
for general corporate purposes, of which the full amount is currently
available.  The Company expects to fund operations, capital additions and
future dividend payments from a combination of cash reserves, cash flow from
operations and short-term borrowings.  At June 30, 1995, LabOne had total cash
and investments of $41.0 million as compared to $41.5 million at December 31,
1994.
