                   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 March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and June 30, 1995 (audited), and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 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, 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.

(2)  Inventories:

     Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

(3)  Marketable securities:

     At March 31, 1996, marketable securities consisted primarily of U.S.
Treasury Notes and Money Market Preferred Stock.

(4)  Computation of net income per share:

     Net income per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the applicable period.  Common stock equivalents consist of
common stock which may be issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options as
calculated using the treasury stock method.

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

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

     Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1996 increased by
$1,446,000, or 14.7% and $4,342,000, or 15.4%, respectively, over the comparable
prior year periods as a result of sales improvements across several product
lines, principally increased sales of medical components in the healthcare
sector and consumer products.

     Cost of sales for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1996
increased by $473,000, or 8.1%, and $1,586,000, or 9.4%, 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 nine months ended
March 31, 1996 decreased to 55.7% and 56.6% from 59.1% and 59.7%, 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 nine
months ended March 31, 1996 increased by $578,000 or 17.4% and $2,116,000 or
24.2%, 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 ended March 31,
1996 did not vary materially from the comparable prior year.  For the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 33.2% from 30.9% over the comparable prior year period primarily
due to the increase in corporate overhead noted above.

     Interest and other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased by
$42,000 or 2.1% over the comparable prior year period due to slightly higher
interest earned on the Company's marketable securities.  For the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 interest and other income increased by $1,108,000 or 22.1%
over the comparable prior year period due primarily to the investment of the net
proceeds from the sale of the Institutional Pharmacy Business.

     Interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1996
decreased by $634,000 and $3,595,000, respectively, from 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.

     The Company incurred non-recurring costs associated with the conversion and
redemption of the Company's Convertible Debentures during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 and a one-time charge in December 1994 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 nine months ended March 31, 1996
decreased to 34% and 35%, 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"),
contained 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 $4,346,000 to
$156,699,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 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 1995 10-K.
