                           to be held on May 11, 1994

                            ------------------------

                                  INTRODUCTION

    This  Proxy Statement  is being  furnished to  the shareholders  of Seafield
Capital Corporation, a Missouri corporation (the "Company"), in connection  with
the  solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the  Company to be held on Wednesday,  May
11,  1994, and any adjournments thereof.  The address of the principal executive
offices of the Company  is 2600 Grand Avenue,  Suite 500, Kansas City,  Missouri
64108.  The telephone number at that address is (816) 842-7000. The distribution
to shareholders of this  Proxy Statement, together  with the accompanying  proxy
materials, will commence on or about April 8, 1994.

    At  the Annual  Meeting, shareholders  will be asked  to (i)  elect four (4)
directors, each to  serve for a  term of three  (3) years, and  (ii) ratify  the
appointment  of KPMG Peat Marwick as  the Company's independent auditors for the
year ending December 31, 1994, all as set forth in the Proxy Statement.

                               VOTING AND PROXIES

    The Board of Directors of the Company has established March 30, 1994 as  the
record  date  for the  meeting.  Only shareholders  of  record at  the  close of
business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the  Annual
Meeting,  and any adjournments thereof.  At the close of  business on the record
date, the Company had  outstanding 6,360,376 shares of  Common Stock, par  value
$1.00  per  share ("Common  Stock"  or "Company  Common  Stock"). Each  share of
Company Common Stock  outstanding on  the record date  is entitled  to one  vote
except  in  the case  of  the election  of  directors wherein  cumulative voting
applies. The  presence in  person or  by proxy  of the  holders of  record of  a
majority  of the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to a vote at the Annual
Meeting shall  constitute  a quorum  for  the  transaction of  business  at  the
meeting.

    Shares  may be voted cumulatively in the election of directors and directors
are elected by plurality vote. See "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS." The affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at  the
Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick as the
Company's independent auditors for 1994.

    There is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Missouri as to the
proper  treatment of votes withheld in  the election of directors or abstentions
or broker  non-votes  respecting  any  other matter  submitted  for  a  vote  of
shareholders.  The Company  believes withheld  votes and  abstentions and broker
non-votes should be  counted for  purposes of  determining whether  a quorum  is
present at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. In the absence of
controlling  precedent  to  the  contrary, the  Company  intends  to  treat such
withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes in this manner.

    All shares of Company Common Stock  represented by a properly executed  form
of  proxy received by the Board of  Directors pursuant to this solicitation will
be voted in accordance with the instructions, if any, given in such proxy. If  a
form   of  proxy  is  duly   executed  but  does  not   specify  the  manner  in

                                       1
<PAGE>
which the shares should  be voted on  any matter or matters,  the proxy will  be
voted for each of the nominees for director herein referred to (see "ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS")  and  otherwise  in  accordance  with  the  recommendations  of  the
Company's Board of Directors as set forth herein. A proxy may be revoked at  any
time  prior to the exercise thereof by a notice from the shareholder received in
writing by the Secretary of the Company,  by submission of a duly executed  form
of proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

    The entire cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company. The
Company   will  make   arrangements  with  brokerage   firms,  banks,  nominees,
fiduciaries and other custodians to supply proxy materials to beneficial  owners
of  Company Common Stock and will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing.
In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by the  directors,
officers  and  employees  of  the  Company  by  personal  interview,  telegraph,
telephone or additional  mailings. Such directors,  officers and employees  will
not be additionally compensated for such solicitation, but may be reimbursed for
expenses in connection therewith.

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    The  Board of Directors  of the Company presently  consists of ten directors
and is  divided  into  three classes,  two  having  three and  one  having  four
directors.  Proxies cannot be voted  for a greater number  of persons than those
nominated. Generally,  one class  of directors  is elected  annually, with  each
director of that class elected for a term of three years.

    The  Board  of Directors  has  nominated for  election  as directors  of the
Company at the 1994  Annual Meeting four (4)  nominees indicated below, each  to
serve  as a director  until the 1997  Annual Meeting and  until his successor is
duly elected and  qualified. All of  the nominees presently  are members of  the
Board  of  Directors. Each  nominee has  indicated his  willingness to  serve if
elected and it is not anticipated  that any nominee will become unavailable  for
election.  In the event  that any nominee  should become unwilling  or unable to
serve as a director, it is intended that all duly executed proxies will be voted
for the election of such other person, if any, as is designated by the Board  of
Directors.  If  no such  person is  designated  as a  replacement, the  Board of
Directors will make an  appropriate reduction in the  number of directors to  be
elected.

    Under  Missouri law and the Company's  Articles of Incorporation, shares may
be voted cumulatively in the  election of directors. Accordingly, a  shareholder
is  entitled to  four votes for  each share owned,  one for each  director to be
elected. A shareholder's votes  may be cast equally  among all nominees, may  be
cast  in favor  of a  single nominee  or may  be distributed  among two  or more
nominees.

    The enclosed form of  proxy provides a method  for shareholders to  withhold
authority  to  vote for  any  one or  more of  the  nominees for  director while
granting authority to vote for the remaining nominees. The names of all nominees
are listed on the  proxy card. If you  wish to grant authority  to vote for  all
nominees,  check the box marked "FOR". If you wish to withhold authority to vote
for all nominees, check the box marked "WITHHELD". If you wish your shares to be
voted for some nominees  and not for one  or more of the  others, check the  box
marked  "FOR"  and indicate  the  name(s) of  the  nominee(s) for  whom  you are
withholding the authority to vote by  writing the name(s) on the blank  provided
immediately below the "FOR" box.

                                       2
<PAGE>
    Unless  authority to vote  for one or  more nominees is  withheld, all votes
represented by a properly executed proxy will  be cast equally among all of  the
nominees  listed  below.  If authority  to  vote  for one  or  more  nominees is
withheld, unless directions to the contrary are stated on the proxy card,  votes
represented  by  a  properly  executed  proxy will  be  cast  equally  among the
remaining nominees. Directors are elected by a plurality vote.

    The following table sets forth as to  each nominee, and as to each  director
whose term continues after the 1994 Annual Meeting, such person's age, principal
occupation  and business  experience during the  last five  years, positions and
offices with the Company, certain other directorships held, involvement, if any,
in certain legal proceedings and the year such person first became a director.

elected by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, presently comprises W. T.
Grant  II, who is the chairman, John C.  Gamble, W. D. Grant, P. Anthony Jacobs,
David W. Kemper and James R.  Seward. The Executive Committee held two  meetings

    The  Nominating and  Compensation Committee establishes  the compensation of
senior management, approves salary  increases for elected officers,  administers
the  1984 and 1989 Stock Option and Incentive Plans, monitors the administration
of employee  benefit  plans  and recommends  appropriate  changes  thereto,  and
reviews  supplementary  pension  and  termination  arrangements  of  highly-paid
employees. It  also  considers,  and  recommends  to  the  Board  of  Directors,
candidates  to serve  as directors  or consulting  directors of  the Company and
persons to be designated as executive vice presidents or senior vice  presidents
of  the  Company.  The Committee  will  consider suggestions  of  candidates for
director made by a shareholder if submitted in writing not less than 120 days in
advance of the  date of  the prior year's  proxy statement,  accompanied by  (a)
appropriate  biographical  material, (b)  a description  of all  arrangements or
understandings between such shareholder and each nominee and any other person or
persons pursuant to which the nomination or  nominations are to be made by  such
shareholder,  (c) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
shareholder as would  have been  required to be  included in  a proxy  statement
filed  pursuant to  the proxy  rules of  the Securities  and Exchange Commission
("SEC") if such nominee had been nominated by the Board of Directors and (d) the
consent of each nominee to serve as  a director of the Company, if elected.  The
Nominating  and Compensation Committee presently  comprises David W. Kemper, who
is chairman,  Lan  C.  Bentsen, John  C.  Gamble,  Michael E.  Herman,  John  H.
Robinson,  Jr. and Dennis R. Stephen.  The Nominating and Compensation Committee
held five meetings in 1993.

    The  Audit  Committee  meets  periodically  with  management,  the  internal
auditing  staff  and representatives  of the  Company's independent  auditors to
assure that appropriate audits of the Company's affairs are being conducted.  In
carrying  out these responsibilities,  the Audit Committee  reviews the scope of
the internal and external audit activities and the results of the annual  audit.
The  Audit Committee is also responsible  for recommending the public accounting
firm to  serve as  independent  auditors for  each  year. Both  the  independent
auditors  and the internal auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee to
discuss the results of their  examinations, the adequacy of internal  accounting
controls and the integrity of financial reporting. The Audit Committee comprises
John  H. Robinson,  Jr., who  is the  chairman, and  David W.  Kemper. The Audit
Committee held two meetings in 1993.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

    GENERAL.  Each director who is  not a regularly compensated employee of  the
Company  ("Non-Employee Director") is  paid a fee  of $10,000 per  annum for his
services as a director, plus a fee  of $750 for each Board of Directors  meeting
attended  and, if a member of one or  more committees, an additional fee of $500
(or $650 if such  person is the  chairman of the  committee) for each  committee
meeting  attended.  Non-Employee  Directors  also  are  provided  $400,000  life
insurance coverage ($1,000,000 in  the case of  Mr. W. D. Grant,  who is also  a
consultant  to  the Company)  for  all business  travel  and are  reimbursed for
expenses incurred in  attending meetings. Non-Employee  Directors receive  stock
option awards under the Company's 1991 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan
upon  becoming a  director and  are also  entitled to  participate in  the Stock
Purchase Plan.

    STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.  The  Seafield Capital Corporation Stock Purchase  Plan
is  a stock  purchase plan which  is open  to all Non-Employee  Directors of the
Company who make a one-time irrevocable

                                       5
<PAGE>
election to participate. Such persons may  contribute an amount equal to all  or
part  of  their  directors'  compensation.  Employees  of  the  Company,  and of
participating Company subsidiaries designated by the Chairman of the Board,  may
also  participate by contributing  the lesser of  2% of their  salary or $30,000
toward  the  purchase  of  Company  Common  Stock.  The  Company  matches   each
participant's  contribution at a rate of  50%. Company Common Stock is purchased
on the open market each  month and each participant  receives as many shares  as
his  contribution, plus the  Company's matching contribution,  will purchase. No
employees presently are designated by the  Chairman of the Board to  participate
and,  accordingly, none of the individuals or members of the group identified in
the Summary  Compensation Table  are presently  eligible to  participate in  the
Stock  Purchase  Plan.  For  1993, matching  Company  contributions  for current
participating Non-Employee Directors were as follows:

    1991  NON-EMPLOYEE   DIRECTORS'   STOCK  OPTION   PLAN   ("1991   DIRECTORS'
PLAN").    Under the  1991 Directors'  Plan, each  Non-Employee Director  of the
Company is entitled to a one time grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares  of
Company Common Stock at a price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value
of  a share of Company Common Stock on  the date the option is granted, with the
options becoming exercisable as follows: on  and after the first anniversary  of
the  date  of grant,  5,000 shares  may be  purchased; on  and after  the second
anniversary of the  date of grant,  5,000 additional shares  (a total of  10,000
shares)  may be purchased and on and after  the third anniversary of the date of
grant, 5,000 additional  shares (a  total of  15,000 shares)  may be  purchased;
subject,  however,  to the  limitation  that no  option  granted under  the 1991
Directors' Plan may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant.

    Upon the termination of an option holder's term as a director, the option is
exercisable only as to those shares as to which the option could be exercised on
the date of  termination. All  rights under an  option terminate  to the  extent
unexercised ninety (90) days after the date a person ceases to be a director, if
termination  is for any reason other than  death, and twelve (12) months after a
director's date of death.

    Rights under an option also will  terminate in the event of the  liquidation
or  dissolution of the Company  or in the event of  a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation. However, a holder will  have
the right, immediately prior to such termination, to exercise an option in whole
or in part without regard to the foregoing installment exercise provisions.

    The  1991 Directors' Plan specifies that  each person who was a Non-Employee
Director on the date  the Company's shareholders approved  said Plan (i.e.,  May
15,  1991) would  be granted  an option as  of the  date of  such approval. Each
person who  is  thereafter elected  or  appointed  to serve  as  a  Non-Employee
Director  shall be entitled to  receive an option as of  the date of election or
appointment.

    In accordance with the foregoing and  pursuant to the 1991 Directors'  Plan,
the  following  current Non-Employee  Directors  have been  granted  options for
15,000 shares of Common Stock. Those held

                                       6
<PAGE>
by Dennis  R. Stephen  were  granted August  11, 1993,  the  date he  was  first
appointed a director, and have an exercise price of $32.00 per share. All of the
other  Non-Employee Director options were  granted May 15, 1991  and all have an
exercise price of $21.50 per share:

    W. D. Grant and  David W. Kemper  each exercised options  for 5,000 of  such
shares  in 1993, when the  market price for Company  Common Stock was $38.75 and
$36.00 per  share, respectively.  Mr. Grant  presently holds  options for  5,000
shares  and Mr. Kemper presently holds options  for 10,000 shares under the 1991
Directors' Plan.  No other  options granted  to current  Non-Employee  Directors
under  the 1991 Directors' Plan have  been exercised. However, George G. Joseph,
who was a Non-Employee Director at the  time of the shareholder approval of  the
1991  Directors' Plan, was also  granted an option to  purchase 15,000 shares of
Company Common Stock on May 15, 1991  at an exercise price of $21.50 per  share.
Mr.  Joseph's term as a director of the Company expired in 1993. Within the time
permitted under  the 1991  Directors' Plan  he exercised  options as  to  10,000
shares when the market price for Company Common Stock was $33.25. The balance of
his options have terminated.

    CONSULTING  AGREEMENT.   Mr.  W.  D. Grant  serves  as a  consultant  to the
Company, for  which he  was  paid an  annual retainer  of  $50,000 in  1993.  In
addition, pursuant to his consulting agreement, the Company reimbursed Mr. Grant
$5,000  for costs  incurred by  him in  1993 for  financial planning, investment
advisory and tax return preparation services.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

    At the  time of  the  Company's sale  of  95% of  the  stock of  its  former
insurance  company subsidiary, BMA, in  July 1990, W. D. Grant  was a party to a
supplemental retirement agreement with BMA. Upon Mr. Grant's retirement from BMA
on July 31,  1990, he  began receiving payments  under such  agreement. In  June
1992,  the  Company  entered into  an  agreement  with, among  others,  the 1990
purchaser of BMA stock, pursuant to which  the Company sold the remaining 5%  of
the  stock and settled with the purchaser regarding a guaranty of BMA's mortgage
loan portfolio  which  the  Company  had  given  in  connection  with  the  1990
transaction.  As a part  of the consideration  for the June  1992 agreement, the
Company agreed to assume BMA's  former responsibility for future obligations  to
W. D. Grant under his supplemental retirement agreement. The annual amount owing
to  Mr. Grant  under such  agreement is  approximately $130,000,  payable to Mr.
Grant until death, and  thereafter at a  reduced level to  his spouse until  her
death.

    In July 1992 the Company loaned William H. West, M.D., Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Response
Technologies,  Inc. ("Response"),  $500,000. Principal and  accrued interest, at
the rate of 6.74% are due on the fourth anniversary of the loan. As of  December
31,  1993, accrued  interest on the  loan was  $49,272. Payment of  said loan is
secured by a pledge of 130,333 shares of Response common stock.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

    The  Company believes that its officers and directors have reported all 1993
transactions in Company Common Stock required to be reported by Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each Non-Employee Director who participates
in the Company's Stock Purchase Plan (see "Election of Directors -- Compensation
of Directors -- Stock  Purchase Plan") disclosed  in a timely  filed Form 4  for
January  1994  that  the aggregate  number  of  shares shown  as  owned directly
included a  number of  shares purchased  during  1993 for  the account  of  such
director  in the Stock Purchase Plan.  The actual acquisitions (as distinguished
from the ownership) of  such shares are  to be reported, under  SEC rules, on  a
Form  5. Because  of a  misunderstanding by  the Company's  representatives, who
believed that the disclosure on the January 1994 Form 4s was all that SEC  rules
required,  Form 5s disclosing acquisitions in 1993 under the Stock Purchase Plan
by the participating Non-Employee Directors were not timely filed. In  addition,
Lan  C. Bentsen mistakenly omitted reporting a  gift of shares of Company Common
Stock from his account in the Stock Purchase Plan to a family trust. As soon  as
the mistakes were discovered, Form 5s or amendments thereto, as the case may be,
were  filed by all participants, disclosing all Stock Purchase Plan transactions
in 1993. The Company believes that all other 1993 transactions in Company Common
Stock by officers,  directors and other  persons subject to  Section 16(a)  were
timely reported.

     retained, however, authority to make discretionary bonus awards in  special
     circumstances; it was
     pursuant to that authority that a 1993 bonus was awarded to Mr. Seward. The
     Company's  subsidiaries which  employ Mr.  Hood, Mr.  Stelzer and  Dr. West
     continue to have cash bonus programs. Cash bonuses for services rendered in
     1993, 1992 and 1991 have been listed in the year earned; in some cases they
     were actually paid in the following year.  In the case of Messrs. Hood  and
     Stelzer  and  Dr. West,  bonuses were  paid  by the  company with  whom the
     individual is employed based upon said company's operating results and  the
     performance of the individual.
 (3) Mr. Hood's employment with LabONE, Inc. began in August 1993.
 (4) LabONE, Inc. (formerly named Home Office Reference Laboratory, Inc.) is 82%
     owned by the Company.
 (5) Response Technologies, Inc. is 59% owned by the Company.
 (6) Consists  entirely of options to purchase shares of common stock of LabONE,
     Inc.
 (7) Consists entirely of options to purchase shares of common stock of Response
     Technologies, Inc. Of the  options shown in the  table as granted in  1993,
     268,000  were options granted in 1992 (and  are part of the number reported
     for 1992) and repriced in 1993.
 (8) Represents the dollar value  of shares of Company  Common Stock granted  as
     Restricted Stock Awards under the Company's 1989 Stock Option and Incentive
     Plan,  which became  performance vested  in the  year indicated. Restricted
     Stock Awards were made in 1991  to replace the Company's annual cash  bonus
     program which was discontinued in that year. After Restricted Stock becomes
     performance vested, it time vests in equal parts, generally on the 1st, 2nd
     and  3rd anniversaries of the date of performance vesting. Thus, generally,
     the Restricted  Stock  which performance  vests  in  a given  year  is  not
     available  to the grantee  in that year.  While SEC rules  require the full
     value of performance vested  Restricted Stock to be  shown for the year  in
     which  performance vesting occurs, the benefit  of said Restricted Stock is
     not available to the grantee until full time vesting which generally occurs
     only in subsequent  years (i.e.,  1/3 per  year over  the succeeding  three
     years). The value of Restricted Stock which fully time vested in 1993, 1992
     and  1991 (valued at the  date of full time vesting)  for each of the named
     executives was:

   No dividends (or payments in lieu thereof) are paid on Restricted Stock until
   all restrictions  lapse  (including  holding  period  restrictions  following
   performance  vesting). See "Report of The Directors -- Compensation Committee
   on Executive Compensation" for a  discussion of the Restricted Stock  Awards.
   All  shares of Restricted Stock  held by any of  the named executive officers

   the time of performance vesting being shown in the Table as an "LTIP  Payout"
   for 1993, 1992 or 1991, as the case may be. Some of these shares had not time
   vested  and, thus, had not been issued  to the named executive officers as of
   December 31,  1993. The  number and  December  31, 1993  value of  shares  of

                       OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

    No  Company options were granted  in 1993 to any  executive officer shown in
the Summary  Compensation  Table. The  following  table sets  forth  information
respecting options granted by LabONE, Inc. ("LabONE") and Response Technologies,
Inc.  ("RTK"), respectively, 82%  and 59% owned subsidiaries  of the Company, to
their respective  corporate  officers shown  in  the Table  below.  The  options
granted  to Messrs.  Hood and Stelzer  all relate  to shares of  common stock of
LabONE and the options granted to Dr.  West relate to shares of common stock  of
RTK.  The option granted to Mr. Hood became  exercisable to the extent of 50% of
the shares subject  to the option  three months  after the date  of grant,  will
become  exercisable to the extent  of an additional 25%  twelve months after the
grant date and will become exercisable to  the extent of the final 25%  eighteen
months  after the grant date, assuming  continued employment. The option granted
to Mr.  Stelzer  becomes exercisable  cumulatively  in 20%  annual  installments
commencing one year after the date of grant, assuming continued employment. Each
of  the options granted to  Dr. West became exercisable to  the extent of 20% on
the date of grant and will become vested  to the extent of an additional 20%  on
each  of  the  first  four  annual anniversaries  of  the  grant  date, assuming
continued employment.  All  stock  options granted  in  1993  are  non-statutory
options, receiving no special tax benefits, have a term of ten years and, except
for  RTK options, are entitled to the benefit of cashless exercise provisions in
the plans

pursuant to  which they  were  issued. Options  granted  by LabONE  provide  for
acceleration  of vesting in the event of a change-of-control. None of the option
grants in 1993 included tandem SARs, performance units or other instruments,  or
any reload or tax reimbursement features.

     option grant for 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $18.00 per share.
     Mr.  Stelzer  and  all  other  officers  of  LabONE,  Inc.  holding options
     originally granted with an  exercise price of $18.00  per share were  given
     the  right to exchange such options for a number of new replacement options
     determined by  multiplying the  number of  old options  by a  fraction  the
     numerator  of which was  the new exercise  price (i.e., the  average of the
     high and low prices on the date of repricing) and the denominator of  which
     was the original exercise price.
</TABLE>

    As  explained in the footnotes,  none of the option  repricings in the Table
above relate to Company Common Stock.  The repricing decisions were not made  by
the Company's Nominating and Compensation Committee or Board of Directors; those
decisions  were made by  the Compensation Committees of  the companies with whom
the executive  officers referred  to in  the foregoing  Table are  employed,  as
indicated.  The  following,  which  is  submitted  by  the  Company's  Board  of
Directors, represents explanations given to the Company's Board of Directors  by
LabONE,  Inc.'s Compensation Committee (in the case of Mr. Hood) and by Response
Technologies, Inc.'s Compensation  Committee (in the  case of Dr.  West) of  the
subject repricings and the basis therefor.

    Dr.  West's replaced options were originally  granted in April 1992. By June
1993, after the market price of Response Technologies, Inc. ("RTK") common stock
had fallen by over  40%, the RTK Compensation  Committee believed that the  then
current  market price (which was actually slightly below the new exercise price)
was more reflective of RTK's value. As a company still in its development stage,
RTK must rely  heavily on  equity based compensation  in order  to attract  high
caliber  executive talent. The  RTK Compensation Committee  believed that at the
time options were  repriced, RTK was  at an important  point in its  development
and,  accordingly,  that  it  was  extremely  important  for  all  RTK executive
officers, including its  CEO Dr.  West, to  perceive a  likelihood of  achieving
value through stock

                                       17
<PAGE>
options,  in order to ensure their continued dedication to RTK's business. RTK's
Compensation Committee believed this would be more likely if the exercise  price
of  all April  1992 options, including  those held  by Dr. West,  was reduced to
approximately the then current market price for RTK common stock. The  Committee
further  believed that the number of  replacement options should remain the same
as the number  replaced, in order  to appropriately motivate  RTK executives  to
devote their substantial expertise to carrying out RTK's business plan. In order
to  remain consistent with  the RTK Compensation Committee's  view of options as
long-term compensation,  the Committee  provided  that the  replacement  options
(which  have a ten-year term) would be subject to a new 4-year vesting schedule,
beginning with the effective date of the repricing (i.e., 20% was vested at  the
date  of  repricing  and  20%  vests on  the  first,  second,  third  and fourth
anniversaries of such date).

    Mr. Stelzer's replaced options were granted in 1987 at the time LabONE, Inc.
("LabONE") first went public. Since that  time the market for LabONE's  services
had  changed  dramatically. Notwithstanding  efforts by  Mr. Stelzer  and others
which  resulted  in  LabONE  retaining  a  market  share  leadership   position,
competitive  pressures had  caused LabONE's earnings  and stock  market price to
decline dramatically by 1991.

    In  1991  when  Mr.  Stelzer  and  other  LabONE  officers  were  given  the
alternative  of having  options repriced, the  market price per  share of LabONE
stock was only about one-half of the option exercise price. LabONE believes that
stock  options  should   contain  terms  which   motivate  executive   officers,
particularly  the  CEO, which  Mr. Stelzer  was  in 1991.  LabONE's Compensation
Committee believes that appropriate motivation did not exist where the  exercise
price  of stock  options was  so much  higher than  the market  price for LabONE
stock, especially where business forces existed  which made it unlikely, in  the
judgment  of LabONE's Compensation Committee, that a  stock price as high as the
exercise price was likely  to be achieved  in a reasonable  period of time.  Mr.
Stelzer  was given the  alternative of having  his options repriced  in order to
provide the  level  of motivation  intended  when the  options  were  originally
granted.  In  exchange for  a reduction  in  the exercise  price, the  number of
repriced options was reduced  by nearly 50% (i.e.,  to 54,861 from the  original
grant  of 100,000), that being the  approximate percentage that the new exercise
price was of the original exercise price. The replacement options had a ten-year
term, had  an exercise  price essentially  equal to  the then  market price  for
LabONE  common stock, and  vested over 3 years,  with 40% vested  at the date of
repricing and 20% vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of that date.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-OF-CONTROL
COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

    THE COMPANY  -- CHANGE-OF-CONTROL.   The  Company has  entered into  certain
Termination  Compensation Agreements  with Messrs.  W. T.  Grant II,  P. Anthony
Jacobs and James R. Seward. Under the Termination Compensation Agreements,  each
such  officer could  receive, in  the event his  employment with  the Company is
terminated by the Company (for a  reason other than death, normal retirement  or
permanent disability) or is terminated by him for good cause, within three years
following  a change-of-control of the Company, a lump sum payment equal to three
times the officer's average annual gross income for the five tax years preceding
the year of termination.  The terminated officer also  would be entitled (i)  to
continue  to participate in the Company's medical, life insurance and disability
plans for a three-year period commencing  with the date of a  change-of-control,
and (ii) to receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of anticipated
future  contributions the Company would have made under any qualified retirement
plan then maintained for the remainder  of such three-year period. In  addition,
the  right of the officer to receive any unpaid installments of awards under any
incentive or non-qualified deferred compensation plan of the Company would  vest
immediately  upon such  termination. The  Company also  would make out-placement
services available to the terminated officer.

    A  "change-of-control"   under  the   Termination  Compensation   Agreements
generally  is deemed to have occurred if, as the result of (i) a tender offer or
other acquisition  of securities  of the  Company any  person, entity  or  group
becomes  the  beneficial owner,  directly or  indirectly,  of securities  of the
Company representing 25%  or more  of the  voting power  of outstanding  Company
securities,  or (ii) a  contested election of directors,  either the persons who
were directors of the  Company immediately prior thereto,  or new persons  whose
nomination  was approved  by two-thirds of  the directors  in office immediately
prior thereto, cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors.

    All unvested  options to  acquire shares  of Company  Common Stock  and  all
unvested  restricted stock  awards vest and  become fully  exercisable if events
similar to those described as a "change-of-control" above shall occur.

    SUBSIDIARIES --  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS;  CHANGE-OF-CONTROL.   An  employment
agreement exists between LabONE, Inc. ("LabONE") and Mr. Bert H. Hood, its Chief
Executive  Officer, who  is an  executive officer  of the  Company named  in the
Summary Compensation Table.  The Agreement  provides for the  employment of  Mr.
Hood  for a three-year term ending in  1996 and is renewable annually thereafter
for successive one-year terms unless LabONE elects not to extend the  Agreement.
Mr.  Hood's  compensation under  the Agreement  consists of  a signing  bonus of
$60,000, an annual base  salary of not less  than $200,000, an annual  incentive
bonus  to be established  by LabONE's Compensation  Committee after consultation
with Mr.  Hood, the  purchase by  LabONE of  Mr. Hood's  Texas residence  for  a
purchase price net to Mr. Hood equal to the average of the fair market values of
the  residence  established by  two independent  appraisers,  the granting  of a
non-qualified stock  option to  Mr. Hood  for 200,000  shares of  LabONE  common
stock,   and  participation  in  LabONE's  other  fringe  benefit  programs  for
executives. In the event  that LabONE terminates  Mr. Hood's employment  without
cause  (as defined  in the Agreement),  LabONE will pay  to Mr. Hood  a lump sum
severance payment equal to his  base salary due for the  balance of the term  of
the  Agreement, plus  one year's annual  base salary. If  a change-of-control of
LabONE (as defined in  the Agreement) occurs  at any time while  Mr. Hood is  in
LabONE's   full-time   employment,   and   within   one   year   after   such  a
change-of-control Mr. Hood's employment is terminated for any reason other  than
permanent  disability, death or  normal retirement, LabONE will  pay Mr. Hood as
termination compensation a  lump sum  amount equal  to three  times his  average
annual  compensation for the most recent  five taxable years (subject to certain
limitations prescribed in the Internal Revenue  Code) and any remaining term  of
the  Agreement shall be cancelled.  Under the Agreement, Mr.  Hood agrees not to
compete with LabONE  for a  period of  two years  after the  termination of  his
employment with LabONE.

    An Employment Agreement also exists between LabONE and Kenneth A. Stelzer, a
former executive officer of the Company named in the Summary Compensation Table.
This Agreement provides for

                                       19
<PAGE>
the employment of Mr. Stelzer for a two-year term ending in November 1995 and is
renewable annually thereafter for successive one-year terms unless LabONE elects
not  to extend the Agreement. The Agreement provides for compensation consisting
of an annual  base salary of  not less than  $181,100, annual incentive  bonuses
established  by LabONE's  Compensation Committee  and participation  in LabONE's
other fringe benefit programs for executives. In the event the LabONE terminates
Mr. Stelzer's employment  without cause  (as defined in  the Agreement),  LabONE
will  pay to Mr. Stelzer  a lump sum severance payment  equal to his base salary
for the balance of the term of his Employment Agreement, plus 50% of one  year's
annual  base  salary.  If  a  change-of-control of  LabONE  (as  defined  in the
Agreement) occurs at any time during which Mr. Stelzer is in LabONE's  full-time
employment,  and within  one year after  such a  change-of-control Mr. Stelzer's
employment is terminated for any  reason other than permanent disability,  death
or  normal retirement, LabONE will pay Mr. Stelzer as termination compensation a
lump sum amount equal to three  times Mr. Stelzer's average annual  compensation
for  the  most  recent  five  taxable  years  (subject  to  certain  limitations
prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code) and any remaining term of the Agreement
shall be cancelled. Under the Agreement, Mr. Stelzer agrees not to compete  with
LabONE  for a period of  two years after the  termination of his employment with
LabONE.

    The stock options granted under the  LabONE Long-Term Incentive Plan to  Mr.
Hood  and Mr. Stelzer  provide that the  options held by  each of such executive
officers shall become  fully exercisable  if a change-of-control  of LabONE  (as
defined  in the stock option agreements) shall occur, or upon termination of the
officer's employment by LabONE without cause (as defined).

    Had a "change-of-control" taken  place on December  31, 1993, the  following
executive  officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table would have been
entitled to receive, had their employment ceased on that date, lump sum payments
in the  following amounts  under their  Termination Compensation  Agreements  or
Employment  Agreements:  W.  T. Grant  II  -  $1,735,559, P.  Anthony  Jacobs --
$939,231, James R. Seward --$549,290, Bert H. Hood -- $1,130,547 and Kenneth  A.
Stelzer -- $762,335.

    Response  Technologies, Inc.  ("RTK") has  an employment  agreement with Dr.
William H. West, its Chief Executive Officer, who is an executive officer of the
Company named in the Summary Compensation  Table. Under the agreement, Dr.  West
is  employed through  at least  December 31,  1994 at  a minimum  base salary of
$150,000 per  year. His  employment may  be terminated  for cause  at any  time,
without  monetary  obligations following  termination, but  if it  is terminated
without cause, Dr. West will be entitled to a severance amount equal to 150%  of
his  then current base  salary. Dr. West  agrees to refrain  from disclosing any
information respecting RTK, to refrain from  competing with RTK during the  term
of  his employment and for  two years thereafter, and  to refrain from hiring or
soliciting employees  or clients  of  RTK for  two  years after  his  employment
terminates.  If the Company sells a sufficient  number of shares of RTK stock to
an unaffiliated party so  as to give  such party ownership of  more than 50%  of
RTK's  voting stock  and, thereafter,  within six  months, Dr.  West resigns his
employment, RTK is obligated to pay Dr. West an amount equal to 150% of his then
current base salary (which at December 31, 1993 was $185,000).

    OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.   In 1991 the  Company's Board of  Directors approved  a
Supplemental  Retirement Agreement with Mr. Jacobs  pursuant to which he will be
entitled to  either  a  lump  sum payment  or  actuarially  equivalent  periodic
payments  upon or commencing, respectively, with  his retirement at or after age
55 or his earlier  death, disability or  involuntary termination of  employment.
The  amount of  the lump  sum payment is  to be  determined by  assuming (i) the
hypothetical deposit  into  a  fund  of  $12,000 on  January  1  of  each  year,
commencing with 1991 and ending on the date of his retirement, death, disability
or  involuntary termination, and (ii) that amounts deposited earn interest at 9%
per annum. The amount  payable to Mr. Jacobs  under the agreement, assuming  his
retirement at age 65, would be $443,700.

           REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -- COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
                           ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    Set forth below under the subheading "The Company -- Executive Compensation"
is  the report  of the  Nominating and  Compensation Committee  of the Company's
Board of Directors on Executive Compensation. The only executive officers  shown
in the Summary Compensation Table, commencing on page 12, to which this report's
discussion  of  compensation  policies  is applicable  are  the  Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Messrs.  Jacobs and Seward;  the other executive  officers
listed  in  the  Summary Compensation  Table  are corporate  officers  of public
company subsidiaries  of the  Company  and are  not  corporate officers  of  the
Company.  The Nominating  and Compensation Committee  of the  Company's Board of
Directors does  not have  responsibility  for and  in  fact does  not  establish
compensation  policy for officers of those  subsidiaries; the Board of Directors
of each  subsidiary  has  its  own  compensation  committee,  which  establishes
compensation policies for the executive officers of that subsidiary.

    Under   the   subheading   below   entitled   "Subsidiaries   --   Executive
Compensation," there is a discussion of the compensation policies established by
the Compensation Committee of LabONE, Inc.'s Board of Directors respecting  Bert
H.  Hood, its  Chief Executive  Officer, and Kenneth  A. Stelzer,  each being an
executive officer  or former  executive  officer of  the  Company named  in  the
Summary  Compensation Table,  and the  compensation policies  established by the
Compensation Committee  of  Response  Technologies, Inc.'s  Board  of  Directors
respecting  William H. West,  M.D., its Chief  Executive Officer and  one of the
Company's executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.

    The discussion  of compensation  policies respecting  corporate officers  of
subsidiaries of the Company is made over the names of the Company's entire Board
of  Directors. It constitutes a summary of the reports of executive compensation
submitted to the Company's Board of Directors by the Compensation Committees  of
those  subsidiaries. The Company's  Board of Directors has  taken no action with
respect to these reports, nor has it participated in the preparation thereof.

                     THE COMPANY -- EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    The  Company's  executive  compensation  program  is  administered  by   the
Nominating  and Compensation Committee of the  Board of Directors. The Committee
is composed of six Non-Employee Directors. Following review and approval by  the
Nominating  and  Compensation  Committee,  all  issues  pertaining  to executive
compensation are reported  to the  Board of  Directors, and,  except for  awards
under the Company's stock based compensation plans, are reviewed by the Board of
Directors.

COMPENSATION POLICIES

    GENERAL.  Prior to mid-1990, the Company was principally engaged in the life
and  health insurance  business. The  insurance industry  is a  highly regulated
business which had  been characterized  by very competitive  pricing based  upon
aggressive   assumptions  for  mortality,  morbidity  and  projected  investment
returns, resulting  in  limited  profit  margins  and  unacceptable  returns  on
capital.  After careful study,  the Board of  Directors and management concluded
that the sale  of the insurance  operations would  be in the  best interests  of
shareholders.

    Following  the sale, the Company had a diverse group of assets consisting of
a significant  amount  of cash,  a  holdover  portfolio of  direct  real  estate
investments  which could  not be sold  with the insurance  company, interests in
several venture capital investments,  and a majority  ownership of LabONE,  Inc.
("LabONE"),  whose  principal business  is laboratory  testing services  for the
insurance industry.  The  Board of  Directors  determined that  the  appropriate
strategy  for  the  newly  structured  holding  company  would  be  to  increase
shareholder value by deploying  its cash in  developing businesses that  provide
services  to the insurance and healthcare  industries while liquidating its real
estate portfolio and other assets that  were not consistent with this  strategic
focus.

    As  a result  of this  dramatic shift in  the environment  for the Company's
management from  operating in  the mature  and regulated  insurance industry  to
investing in early stage businesses with

                                       21
<PAGE>
high growth potential, and correspondingly higher business risks, the Nominating
and  Compensation Committee believed  that the former  compensation structure no
longer fit the  Company. Therefore,  the Committee  initiated the  design of  an
executive  compensation system  appropriate for  a holding  company, which would
reward behavior that reinforced the new direction of the Company. The  Committee
found  that  management's primary  influence on  the Company's  underlying value
would be through the strategic deployment of cash received from the sale of  the
insurance  operations  and  the liquidation  of  the real  estate  portfolio and
through  its  oversight  and  guidance  of  the  operations  of  the   Company's
subsidiaries.   Consequently,  traditional  short-term   yardsticks  of  Company
performance such as net earnings, would for several years not be as  appropriate
in  evaluating the performance of the Company  because of the mix of early stage
investments and accounting rules  for unconsolidated investments. The  Committee
concluded  that  because the  Company's  financial and  organizational structure
emphasized long-term objectives, it  would be supported  best by a  compensation
structure   which   also   emphasized  long-term   performance.   The  resulting
equity-based compensation program is tied to long-term increases in  shareholder
value,  as measured  by the  price of  Company Common  Stock, and  not to annual
earnings or other short-term measures of performance. The annual cash  incentive
program  was discontinued in 1991;  the current executive compensation structure
has only two elements -- base  salary and a long-term, stock-based  compensation
component.

    BASE  SALARY  COMPENSATION.   The Committee's  policy  is to  establish base
salaries for  each of  the  Company's executive  officers at  approximately  the
median  of  salaries  for  comparable  positions  at  non-manufacturing  general
industrial and financial services companies. In 1993, executive officer salaries
were based  upon  a  1990  survey of  such  comparable  positions  conducted  by
compensation  consultants, adjusted for market changes since 1990 as reported to
the Company by such consultants.

    No deliberate  effort was  made  to include  companies in  the  consultants'
surveys  which  are a  part of  either of  the comparative  indices used  in the
Performance Graph (see page 28). The Company believes that it generally competes
for  executive   talent  with   companies  similarly   sized,  from   a   market
capitalization  and revenue  standpoint, regardless  of a  company's industry or
line of business. Base salary for executive officers is not directly related  to
Company performance; however, as discussed below, most of the remaining portions
of  executive officers' compensation are wholly  dependent upon increases in the
market price of Company Common Stock.

    CASH INCENTIVE  COMPENSATION.   As noted  above, the  Company's annual  cash
incentive  plan was terminated in 1991. However, the Nominating and Compensation
Committee retains  authority  to recommend  cash  incentive payments  to  reward
special  achievements. An  example of  such a  reward is  the bonus  paid to Mr.
Seward for  1993 in  recognition of  the outstanding  performance of  a  Company
investment portfolio which is Mr. Seward's responsibility.

    LONG-TERM COMPENSATION PLAN.  Development of the long-term compensation plan
evolved in two stages. First, grants of non-statutory stock options were made in
December  1990 to  vest in  thirds in  1991, 1992  and 1993.  The Nominating and
Compensation Committee determined that most  of these should be "premium"  stock
options, or options whose exercise prices would be above the market price on the
date  of grant, so that significant increases in the Company's stock price would
be required before  the options had  value. The market  price of Company  Common
Stock  was $23.25  when these  option grants were  made and  the option exercise
prices range  up  to $30.22.  The  number of  options  granted and  the  various
exercise  prices were not determined on the basis of any formula; they reflected
the Committee's subjective  judgment after considering  the then current  market
price of Company Common Stock, the Committee's judgment as to the period of time
required  for implementation of the Company's  new strategy, and the Committee's
estimation of stock price  increases likely to occur  over the ten-year life  of
the  options. The Committee took into  consideration the number, exercise prices
and terms of  existing options in  determining the  size of the  grants made  in
1990, as well as the various exercise price thresholds.

    The  second stage in developing the  long-term compensation plan occurred in
1991 when  the  annual cash  incentive  plan was  terminated  and a  program  of
restricted stock awards was designed and

                                       22
<PAGE>
implemented  to reinforce the  long-term emphasis of  the earlier stock options.
The restricted stock awards granted in 1991 were in three tranches, with vesting
first conditioned  on the  market price  of Company  Common Stock  attaining  an
average  over twenty consecutive  trading days of $26.00,  $30.00 and $35.00 per
share, respectively. These vesting thresholds represented market prices from 17%
to 58% above the market price of $22.125 on the date the restricted stock awards
were granted. Achieving the premium  allows each tranche to become  "performance
vested."  Once performance vesting  occurs, an additional  "time vesting" period
begins; each restricted stock award tranche  finally vests in thirds at the  end
of the first, second and third years of the time vesting period.

    The  overall long-term compensation plan was  intended to replace the former
annual cash bonus program over a  five-year period. The Committee believed  that
the  period of  time necessary  for the  Company's strategy  to be  reflected in
increased market values of  Company Common Stock up  to the performance  vesting
thresholds  of the restricted  stock award grants plus  the time vesting periods
would approximate five years. The number  of shares of restricted stock  awarded
to executive officers was determined by reference to the historical cash bonuses
paid  by the  Company; aggregate  performance vesting  threshold values  for all
tranches of restricted stock were intended to relate to the amount of cash bonus
compensation which would otherwise be paid over the 5-year intended life of  the
long-term  compensation  program, assuming  historical  cash bonus  amounts were
projected into the future.

    Requiring that the exercise prices of options and the vesting thresholds for
restricted stock be at premiums  up to 58% over  Company Common Stock prices  at
the  dates  of grant,  and  also requiring  time  vesting, assures  that  only a
sustained increase in shareholder value will  provide a reward to the  executive
officers. At the time the plan was fully implemented, potential ownership by the
executive  officers  from  the  restricted stock  awards  and  outstanding stock
options was 6.5% of  the total shares of  Company Common Stock outstanding.  The
Nominating  and Compensation  Committee believes  providing this  level of stock
ownership incentive will strongly align shareholder and management interests.

    The Summary Compensation Table and the Table of Aggregated Option  Exercises
and  Year-End Values,  beginning on pages  12 and 16,  respectively, reflect the
results  of  this  redesigned  compensation  program  for  the  Company's  Chief
Executive  Officer  and  the  two other  executive  officers  who  are corporate
officers of  the  Company. As  footnote  8  to the  Summary  Compensation  Table
explains,  SEC rules require that the full value of restricted stock be shown as
an "LTIP  Payout"  in  the year  that  it  performance vests,  even  though  the
Company's  executive officers  do not  become entitled  to the  restricted stock
until one  to three  years after  performance vesting.  Thus, the  value of  all
executive  officers' restricted  stock which  performance vested  in 1993,  as a
result of the  price of Company  Common Stock reaching  a twenty-day average  of
$35.00  per  share  in  October  1993, is  shown  as  long  term  incentive plan
compensation for 1993.

CEO COMPENSATION

    The compensation of the Company's CEO  is determined in accordance with  the
policies  outlined above for all executive officers. In 1993, he received a base
salary targeted at the median of salaries paid for comparable positions at other
non-manufacturing general  industrial and  financial services  companies. He  is
also  a participant in  the Company's long-term,  stock-based compensation plan.
Pursuant to such  plan, the CEO  has received long-term  incentive plan  payouts
valued at the market price of restricted stock on the date it became performance
vested.  In 1993, 32,000  shares of restricted stock  performance vested for the
CEO, as  a  result of  the  market price  of  Company Common  Stock  reaching  a
twenty-day  average of $35.00 per  share in October. At  the date of performance
vesting, the aggregate value of 32,000 shares was $1,168,000. As discussed above
under "Compensation Policies -- Long-Term Compensation Plan," generally, none of
the value shown in the  Summary Compensation Table for  a particular year as  an
"LTIP Payout" was available to the CEO in that year. It becomes available to him
in  equal installments over  the three succeeding years,  if employment with the
Company continues. The  value of the  portion of each  performance vested  award
which time vests in

                                       23
<PAGE>
subsequent years could be different than the value shown, depending upon whether
the  market price  of Company  Common Stock  increases, declines  or remains the
same. Measurements  of  Company performance  are  not a  significant  factor  in
establishing  the CEO's base salary; however, substantially all of the remainder
of the CEO's compensation  is wholly dependent upon  sustained increases in  the
market price of Company Common Stock.

OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS

    The  Company  has  adopted  certain  employee  benefit  plans  in  which the
executive officers are permitted to participate  on the same terms as all  other
employees  who  meet  applicable  eligibility  criteria,  subject  to  any legal
limitations on the amounts that may be  contributed or the benefits that may  be
payable under the plans. Currently, the Company offers a 401(k) Savings Plan and
a Money Purchase Pension Plan, both of which are defined contribution plans.

    The  Company has  entered into  supplemental retirement  agreements ("SERP")
with certain highly paid executive officers to provide tax deferred accruals  of
amounts  proportionate  to  the  benefits  available  to  non-highly compensated
participants in  the  Company's  plans  (as  adjusted  based  upon  compensation
levels),  but which exceed  benefits permitted under the  Company's plans due to
tax law limitations. Amounts  accrued for the benefit  of the Company's CEO  and
other  executive officers  under SERPs  are shown in  footnote 9  to the Summary
Compensation Table on page 14. The  SERPs are unfunded, so that amounts  payable
represent  unsecured liabilities  of the  Company subject  to the  claims of the
Company's other creditors.

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(M)

    Section 162(m) of the  Internal Revenue Code, which  took effect January  1,
1994,  generally  disallows  an income  tax  deduction to  public  companies for
compensation over  $1 million  annually paid  to the  Company's Chief  Executive
Officer  or to other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.
Qualifying performance-based compensation will not  be subject to the  deduction
limit if certain requirements are met. The Company believes that all outstanding
stock  options and restricted  stock awards respecting  Company Common Stock, as
well as the stock option  plans pursuant to which  such options and awards  have
been  granted, qualify for an exemption from the deduction limit. Based upon the
current levels of non-performance-based compensation for the Company's executive
officers, the deduction limit is not expected  to have a material impact on  the
Company  in  1994. The  Company currently  intends  to structure  and administer
future performance-based compensation of its executive officers in a manner that
complies with the new tax rules.

LABONE, INC.

    Mr. Hood  is Chief  Executive Officer  of LabONE,  Inc. ("LabONE")  and  Mr.
Stelzer is president of the Home Office Reference Laboratory division of LabONE.
LabONE  is 82%  owned by  the Company.  The remaining  18% of  LabONE's stock is
publicly held.  Neither Mr.  Hood nor  Mr.  Stelzer is  a corporate  officer  or
employee  of the Company. Their compensation  is determined pursuant to LabONE's
executive  compensation  program  which  is  administered  by  the  Compensation
Committee  of LabONE's Board  of Directors. While  the Company's Chief Executive
Officer is Chairman  of this  Committee and  three other  Company directors  are
members,  the Committee's membership also includes three individuals who are not
directors, officers or employees of the Company. LabONE's Compensation Committee
operates independently of  the Company's  Board of  Directors. That  Committee's
policies

                                       24
<PAGE>
respecting  LabONE  executive  officer  compensation,  as  reported  by LabONE's
Compensation Committee to the Company's Board of Directors, are set forth below.
Compensation decisions by LabONE's Compensation Committee are entirely unrelated
to the  Company's performance,  but they  are, to  the extent  described  below,
related to LabONE's performance.

    The  philosophy  governing LabONE's  executive  compensation is  based  on a
belief that management and LabONE stockholders have a common goal --  increasing
the  value of LabONE common stock. The business strategy for achieving this goal
is expressed in LabONE's mission statement:

    "LabONE is dedicated to maximizing the return on investment for [LabONE]
    stockholders  ...   to   providing  the   lowest-cost,   highest-quality
    laboratory testing services for [its] clients ... to providing a working
    environment  that  emphasizes  accountability for  results,  and rewards
    employees based on their contributions to LabONE'S success."

    Three principal elements of LabONE's executive compensation -- base  salary,
annual  incentive plan, and stock options -- are used to motivate and reward the
accomplishment of annual  corporate objectives, reinforce  a strong  orientation
toward  operating excellence, provide variability  in individual awards based on
contributions to  business  results,  and maintain  a  competitive  compensation
package  to attract, retain and motivate individuals of the highest professional
quality.

    Salary ranges were developed based on  a survey initially conducted in  1986
by  an independent consultant and updated in 1989. Base salaries are targeted at
the 60th to 65th percentile of  pay for comparable positions in "All  Industrial
Base  Salaries" surveyed by the consultant. In determining base salary levels in
July 1993,  LabONE's Compensation  Committee considered  individual  performance
evaluations.  Measurements related to LabONE's performance are not a significant
factor in base salary decisions since  they are the sole factors in  determining
incentive awards and the value of stock options.

    LabONE's Annual Incentive Plan was revised in 1991 to meet the objectives of
motivating  and  rewarding the  accomplishment of  strong operating  results. An
after-tax return on equity minimum is established at the beginning of the fiscal
year by the LabONE Compensation Committee, which minimum is then expressed as an
income from operations threshold and  communicated to participants. This  income
from operations threshold is calculated without including investment earnings or
taxes  to emphasize the areas on which  management can have the greatest impact:
revenues and expenses. The incentive pool is established as a percentage of  net
operating  income earned by  LabONE over the threshold  -- no incentive payments
are made if  the threshold  is not  met. Ninety  percent of  the incentive  pool
generated  by reaching the  target is distributed in  cash ratably to designated
officers and managers at  year end based  on a weighting  of positions and  base
salaries.  The remaining  ten percent  is distributed  to outstanding performers
within the eligible  group, at  the discretion  of LabONE's  Board of  Directors
based  on the recommendations  of LabONE's Compensation  Committee. Payments for
1993 recognized the special  efforts of designated  officers in contributing  to
LabONE's  new business plan  for expansion into  the clinical laboratory testing
market. LabONE's  earnings from  operations  decreased 18%  from 1992  to  1993,
resulting  in a decrease in incentive  compensation to LabONE executive officers
of 45.5% from 1992 levels.

    The LabONE Compensation Committee, as  well as LabONE's Board of  Directors,
believes  that  significant  stock  ownership,  through  stock  options,  by key
employees and  directors is  a  major incentive  in  aligning the  interests  of
employees  and stockholders, because  value is only provided  if the stock price
increases and  because stock  options  have an  effective long-term  reward  and
retention function.

    LabONE  stockholders  approved  a  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  in  1987  and
increases in the  number of  shares which  may be  issued under  that plan  were
approved  by  stockholders  in 1991  and  in  1994. Under  this  plan,  ten year
non-qualified stock  options are  granted to  executive officers  and other  key
employees  when they are hired or promoted into eligible positions. These grants
are made on  a one-time  basis with  vesting to  occur over  periods from  three
months to five years.

    Mr.  Hood's compensation as Chief Executive Officer of LabONE was determined
by negotiation of an employment agreement at the time of his initial  employment
with  LabONE  in  August  1993.  Mr. Stelzer's  compensation  is  subject  to an
employment agreement also negotiated at the  time of Mr. Hood's employment,  and
subsequently  amended in November 1993.  See "Employment Agreements; Termination
of Employment and Change-of-Control Compensation Arrangements -- Subsidiaries --
Employment Agreements; Change-of-Control"  for a description  of the  employment
agreements.   A  significant  portion  of  Mr.  Hood's  compensation  under  his
employment agreement is represented by LabONE stock options which tie his  level
of  compensation to LabONE's  future stock performance,  as Mr. Hood's expertise
was  procured  in  order  to  lead  LabONE's  expansion  efforts  into  clinical
diagnostic testing.

    Mr.  Hood's employment agreement  provided for a 1993  incentive bonus to be
established by LabONE's Compensation Committee after consultation with Mr. Hood.
LabONE's Compensation Committee awarded Mr.  Hood a discretionary bonus  payment
of  $100,000  for 1993  in  recognition of  his  contributions in  designing and
leading LabONE's efforts to implement its new diversification strategies.

    Mr. Stelzer's  1993  bonus amount  was  determined in  accordance  with  the
provisions of LabONE's Annual Incentive Plan discussed above.

RESPONSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

    Dr.  West is Chief Executive Officer of Response Technologies, Inc. ("RTK"),
which is 59%  owned by  the Company.  Dr. West  owns approximately  8% of  RTK's
outstanding common stock and the remaining 33% is publicly held. Dr. West is not
a  corporate officer or employee of  the Company. His compensation is determined
pursuant to RTK's executive  compensation program which  is administered by  the
Compensation  Committee of RTK's Board of Directors. While two Company directors
serve  on  RTK's  Compensation  Committee,  it  operates  independently  of  the
Company's   Board  of  Directors.  Policies  respecting  RTK  executive  officer
compensation  as  reported  to  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  by   RTK's
Compensation  Committee, are  set forth  below. Compensation  decisions by RTK's
Compensation Committee are entirely unrelated to the Company's performance,  but
they are, to the extent described below, related to RTK's performance.

    The  business operations of RTK  were significantly restructured during 1989
and 1990, resulting in  a redirection to provide  clinical support services  for
oncologists  through a  network of IMPACT-R-  Centers. Under the  direction of a
reorganized Board of Directors, management personnel were identified to  develop
the  IMPACT-R-  Center  system. RTK's  financial  performance  has progressively
improved from a net loss of $16,360,000 for fiscal year 1989 to net earnings  of
$590,000  and  $700,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  1992  and  1993,
respectively.

    In order to attract and retain  the highly qualified medical, financial  and
operations  executives needed to effect RTK's  new business plan during a period
when RTK's cash resources were dedicated to the growth of the IMPACT-R- Centers,
the compensation  program  has  emphasized an  equity-based  approach  involving
significant grants of stock options to its key executives.

    RTK's  performance, measured by such factors as revenue growth and IMPACT-R-
Center development, is taken into consideration in determining base salaries for
RTK's executive  officers. RTK's  Compensation Committee  has not  attempted  to
determine  a range  of compensation that  would be competitive  with a reference
group of similar positions or similar  organizations because of the emphasis  on
equity  compensation. Dr. West is a participant in the Executive Incentive Plan,
and Stock Option Program described below. The bonus paid to Dr. West in 1992 was
a one-time discretionary bonus  award based upon the  general progress in  RTK's
performance over several years and was not based on any specific criteria.

    In  mid-1992,  RTK's Compensation  Committee  decided to  develop  an annual
incentive plan for RTK's  senior management and  executive group, including  Dr.
West,  which permits  participants to share  in improvements  in RTK's earnings.
Under this plan, which became effective January 1, 1993,

                                       26
<PAGE>
each participant has  a target bonus  ranging from 10%  to 25% of  salary and  a
maximum  bonus ranging  from 50%  to 100%  of salary.  If RTK's  earnings before
interest and  taxes  ("EBIT")  meet  a target  approved  by  RTK's  Compensation
Committee  for  the  year, the  target  bonus will  be  paid. If  the  target is
exceeded, then 8%  of EBIT  above that  level is added  to the  pool until  each
participant's  maximum bonus is achieved.  RTK's Compensation Committee may also
set an EBIT level  below the target  at which a prorated  portion of the  target
bonus  can be  paid. Since  there is  a very  direct relationship  between RTK's
performance and the rewards available in this plan, RTK's Compensation Committee
believes it will encourage behavior that is aligned with shareholder  interests.
Because  RTK's 1993  target EBIT was  not met,  no bonus payments  were made for
1993.

    RTK's Compensation Committee considers  the use of stock  options to be  the
foundation  of  RTK's executive  compensation  program by  providing significant
financial incentives  in  return  for  the  risks  assumed  by  those  who  have
participated  in the  redirection of RTK's  business. By RTK's  extensive use of
stock options  for compensation  purposes, RTK  is able  to achieve  one of  its
compensation  objectives of having a significant part of the compensation of Dr.
West and the other RTK executive officers dependent upon sustained increases  in
the market price of RTK common stock.

    During the development of RTK's IMPACT-R- Center network, RTK's Compensation
Committee  believes the most  important measures of  performances in determining
executive  compensation  are  internal  measures:  increases  in  revenues   and
earnings,   numbers  of  Centers  opened,   numbers  of  patients  treated,  and
development of staff and  systems to support RTK's  business. The bonus plan  is
designed  to  reward  achieving  these  shorter  term  operational  goals. RTK's
Compensation Committee believes that over the long term, RTK's stock option plan
serves to align the  interests of RTK management  and its shareholders by  tying
the eventual value of the options to the market price of RTK's stock.

(1)  The Russell 2000 Index is  an index of companies  the mean of whose  market
     capitalizations  approximates  that of  the Company.  It has  been selected
     because the diverse nature of  the Company's businesses causes the  Company
     to believe that it cannot reasonably identify a peer group of companies for
     comparison  and the Company  does not use a  published industry or line-of-
     business index.  The  Company believes  that  an index  of  companies  with
     similar  market capitalizations provides  a good basis  for comparing total
     shareholder returns.

          COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

    The  Company's   Nominating   and  Compensation   Committee   ("Compensation
Committee")  comprises Lan C. Bentsen, John  C. Gamble, Michael E. Herman, David
W. Kemper, John H. Robinson, Jr. and Dennis R. Stephen. Until the expiration  of
his  term as a director in May 1993, George G. Joseph also served as a member of
the Compensation Committee.  None of the  persons who served  as members of  the
Compensation  Committee during 1993 (a) are employees or officers of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, (b) are former officers of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or  (c)  had any  relationship  or transaction  with  the  Company
requiring disclosure under the SEC's rules, except as discussed below.

    The   Company  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  conduct  normal  banking
transactions in the usual course of  business with, among others, Commerce  Bank
of  Kansas City, N.A.  ("Commerce") and Boatmen's First  National Bank of Kansas
City ("Boatman's"). Mr. Kemper is Chief Executive Officer of Commerce's  holding
company. Mr. Herman is a director of Boatmen's and Mr. Robinson is a director of
Commerce.  In  the Company's  opinion, charges  for  services rendered  by these
banking institutions are commensurate with the costs charged by other  financial
institutions for similar services. The Company and its subsidiaries may continue
to use both of these banking institutions for certain services in 1994.

    Mr. W. T. Grant II, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company,  serves as  a director  of Commerce  Bancshares, Inc.,  a company whose
chief executive officer, David  W. Kemper, serves as  Chairman of the  Company's
Nominating and Compensation Committee.

              RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

    The  firm of  KPMG Peat  Marwick has  been the  independent auditors  of the
Company since 1959. The Board of Directors has again appointed KPMG Peat Marwick
to serve as the Company's independent auditors for the year ending December  31,
1994.  While not  required to do  so, the  Board of Directors  is submitting the
selection of the independent auditors for ratification in order to ascertain the
views of  the shareholders.  If the  selection  is not  ratified, the  Board  of
Directors  will reconsider its selection. Ratification of the selection requires
the affirmative vote  of the  holders of  a majority  of the  shares of  Company
Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF
THIS APPOINTMENT.

    A  representative of KPMG Peat Marwick will be present at the Annual Meeting
to make  a statement  if he  desires  to do  so and  to respond  to  appropriate
questions.

    Prior  to April  16, 1993 Response  Technologies, Inc. ("RTK"),  a 59% owned
subsidiary of the Company, had retained Ernst & Young ("E&Y") as its independent
auditors. On that date  RTK decided to change  auditing firms and retained  KPMG
Peat  Marwick  ("Peat") as  its  independent auditors.  For  years prior  to its
appointment as RTK's independent  auditors, Peat, in issuing  its report on  the
financial  statements  of the  Company, had  expressed  reliance on  E&Y's audit
report for RTK.

    RTK's decision to change auditing firms  was made because Peat is and  since
1959  has been the Company's independent auditors  and, in view of the Company's
59% ownership of  RTK common stock,  the auditing  process at both  RTK and  the
Company  would  be simplified  if  the same  auditing  firm were  to  audit both
companies. E&Y had served as RTK's independent auditors since 1984; RTK believes
that it always had  an excellent relationship with  E&Y. The decision to  change
auditing  firms was approved by RTK's Board of Directors and Audit Committee and
the Company's Audit Committee.

    The Company has been  informed by RTK  that none of  E&Y's reports on  RTK's
financial  statements  for  the periods  ended  on  or after  December  31, 1991
contained any adverse opinion or any disclaimer of opinion nor were any of E&Y's
reports for  such periods  qualified or  modified as  to uncertainty,  scope  or
accounting  principles.  The  Company is  further  informed by  RTK  that during

                                       29
<PAGE>
1992 and 1993, there  were no disagreements  between E&Y and  either RTK or  the
Company  on  any  matters  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
statement disclosure, or  auditing scope or  procedure, which disagreements,  if
not  resolved  to the  satisfaction  of E&Y,  would have  caused  E&Y to  make a
reference to the  subject matter  of the  disagreements in  connection with  its
reports.

    The  Company is informed  by RTK that  no "reportable event"  (as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the SEC) respecting RTK and E&Y  occurred
during  1992 and 1993. Further,  the Company is informed by  RTK that it did not
consult with Peat, and the  Company did not consult  with Peat, prior to  Peat's
appointment  as RTK's independent auditors,  regarding either the application of
accounting principles  to a  specified  RTK transaction  or  the type  of  audit
opinion that might be rendered on RTK's financial statements.

    RTK  has  provided  E&Y with  a  disclosure  substantially the  same  as the
disclosure herein made  respecting RTK's change  of independent auditing  firms.
E&Y informed RTK that it was in agreement with the disclosure.

                             SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

    Shareholder  proposals intended for inclusion in  the proxy materials of the
Company for the  1995 Annual  Meeting must  be received  by the  Company at  its
