(1)  Financial statement presentation:

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Synetic, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company")
as of December 31, 1995 (unaudited) and June 30, 1995 (audited), and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the six months ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 (unaudited).

     Principles of Consolidation--

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Porex Technologies Corp.
("Porex"), after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and
transactions.  All periods and related notes thereto have been restated to
reflect the sale of the Institutional Pharmacy Business consummated on December
14, 1994.

     The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  June 30, 1995 (the "Annual Report"), which
notes are incorporated herein by reference.

     The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform
to the current year presentation.

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

Consolidated Results of Operations:
- ---------------------------------- 

     Net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 increased
by $814,000, or 8.6% and $2,896,000, or 15.7%, respectively, over the comparable
prior year periods as a result of sales improvements across several product
lines, principally increased sales of writing instrument components in the
consumer sector and medical products in the health care sector.

     Cost of sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995
increased by $227,000, or 4.1%, and $1,113,000, or 10.1%, respectively, over the
comparable prior year periods due to the increased sales volume noted above.  As
a percent of net sales, cost of sales for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1995 decreased to 56.6% and 57.0% from 59.1% and 60.0%,
respectively, in the comparable prior year periods principally due to increased
sales of higher margin products and the reduction of certain fixed manufacturing
costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 increased by $544,000 or 19.5% and $1,538,000 or 28.4%,
respectively, over the comparable prior year periods due primarily to an
increase in expenses associated with the increase in sales volume noted above
and an increase in corporate overhead expenses.  As a percent of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1995 increased to 32.5% and 32.6%, respectively, from 29.5%
and 29.4%, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods primarily due to
the increase in corporate overhead noted above.

     Interest and other income for the quarter and six months ended December 31,
1995 increased by $408,000 or 25.7% and $1,068,000 or 35.8%, respectively, over
the comparable prior year periods as a result of a combination of higher
interest rates on the Company's marketable securities and the income on the net
proceeds from the sale of the Institutional Pharmacy Business.

     Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995
decreased by $1,488,000 and $2,959,000, respectively, in the comparable prior
year periods as a result of the conversion and redemption of the Company's 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures into common stock of the Company in February
1995.

     Purchase and Sale Agreement related expenses and other for the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1995 decreased by $5,580,000 from the comparable
prior year periods as a result of the one time charge in the prior year related
to the issuance of stock options issued to certain officers as compensation for
services in conjunction with the consummation of the Purchase and Sale
Agreement.

     The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended December 31,
1995 decreased to 34% and 36%, respectively, from 38% in the comparable prior
year periods as a result of an increase in income in the current year eligible
for dividends received reduction.

Capital Resources and Liquidity:
- ------------------------------- 

     The description of the Company's Capital Resources and Liquidity below, 
including the descriptions of the acquisition program contained herein or 
referenced in "Item 1. Business--Acquisition Program" of the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 (the "1995 10-K"), 
contain forward-looking statements with respect to possible events, outcomes or 
results that are, and may continue to be, subject to risks, uncertainties and 
contingencies, including the respective risks, uncertainties and contingencies 
identified in such descriptions.

     Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $1,314,000 to
$153,667,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 principally due to
the income earned from operations.

     The Company believes that its cash flow from operations and the income
earned on its investments are sufficient to meet the anticipated working capital
requirements of its business.

     The Company continues to pursue an acquisition program pursuant to which it
seeks to effect one or more acquisitions or other similar business combinations
with businesses it believes have significant growth potential. Financing for
such acquisitions may come from several other sources, including, without
limitation, (a) its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and (b)
proceeds from the incurrence of additional indebtedness or the issuance of 
common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt or other securities.   For a 
further description of the Company's Acquisition Program, see "Item 1. 
Business - Acquisition Program" in the 1995 10-K.
