                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 September 30, 1996 (unaudited) and June 30, 1996 (audited), and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 (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, 1996 (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 three months ended September 30, 1996 increased by
$149,000, or 1.4% over the comparable prior year period primarily due to sales
increases in medical OEM porous parts in the healthcare sector partially offset
by declines in the consumer and industrial sectors.

     Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased by
$214,000, or 3.4% over the comparable prior year period due to increased sales
of higher margin products and the reduction of certain fixed manufacturing
costs.  As a percent of net sales, cost of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 decreased to 54.8% from 57.4% in the comparable prior year
period due to the decrease in costs noted above.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 increased by $139,000 or 3.9% over the comparable prior year
period 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 three
months ended September 30, 1996 did not vary materially from the comparable
prior year.

     Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
increased by $176,000 or 8.6% over the comparable prior year period due to the
increase in funds invested resulting from increased cash flows from operations.

     The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1996
decreased to 32.3% from 38.5% in the comparable prior year period as a result of
an increase in income in the current year eligible for dividends received
reduction.

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

     Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $3,557,000 to
$166,035,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 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 1996 10-K.
