                         SYNETIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   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"
or "Synetic")  as of September 30, 1998 (unaudited) and June 30, 1998 (audited),
the results of their operations for the three months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997 (unaudited) and their cash flows for the three months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997 (unaudited).

     Principles of Consolidation--

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Porex Technologies
Corp. and subsidiaries ("Porex") and Avicenna Systems Corp. ("Avicenna"), after
elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions.

     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, 1998 (the "1998 10-K"), 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):
 
                                        September 30,       June 30,

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

                                          ------              ------
                                          $9,687              $5,813
                                          ======              ======
 
(3)  Marketable securities:

     At September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998, marketable securities consisted
primarily of U.S. Treasury Notes and Federal Agency Notes and are classified as
held-to-maturity and are carried at cost, net of unamortized premium or
discount.

(4)  Computation of net income per share:

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No.
128"). The new standard simplifies the computation of net income per share and
increases comparability to international standards.  Under SFAS No. 128, basic
net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per 
share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The Company's 5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2007 (the "Convertible
Debentures"), if converted, would not have had a dilutive effect on net income
per share for the periods presented.

     The Company adopted the new standard during fiscal 1998, beginning with the
December 31, 1997 interim consolidated financial statements.  In accordance with
SFAS No. 128, all prior periods presented have been restated.  The Company has
historically reported its EPS on a fully diluted basis, which reflects the
dilution resulting from employee stock options, warrants and convertible
securities, if dilutive, and is comparable to the new diluted EPS reported.

     A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding (basic) to weighted
average shares outstanding assuming dilution (diluted) follows:

     (a) Issuable primarily under stock option plans.

(5)  Supplemental cash flow information:

     For the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company
recognized tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options as increases to
additional paid-in capital and decreases to income taxes payable of $1,316,000
and $1,171,000, respectively.

(6)  Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):

     Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 - "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No.
130"). SFAS No. 130 increases financial reporting disclosures and has no impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised substantially of currency
translation adjustments.

                                      -8-

(7)  Development costs:

     The Company capitalizes costs incurred for the production of computer
software for use in the sale of its services.  Costs capitalized include direct
labor and related overhead for software produced by the Company and the costs of
software purchased from third parties.  All costs in the software development
process which are classified as research and development are expensed as
incurred until technological feasibility has been established.  Once
technological feasibility has been established, such software development costs
are capitalized until the software is commercially available.  Such costs are
recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.  As of
September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998, capitalized costs were $6,734,000 and
$4,368,000, respectively.

(8)  Acquisitions:

     On July 21, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Point Plastics,
Inc.("Point Plastics"), a manufacturing company located in Petaluma, California,
for $34,399,942 in cash and 832,259 shares of the Company's common stock.  The
shares issued are subject to certain limitations restricting the liquidity and
transferability of such shares.  The fair value of the shares, as determined by
management, was approximately $51.1822 per share.  Point Plastics designs,
manufactures and distributes injection-molded, disposable laboratory plastics
used for liquid handling in the life sciences marketplace.

     The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method with the
purchase price being allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on their appraised fair values.  Point Plastics' results of operations have been
included in the Company's financial statements as of July 21, 1998.

     A preliminary summary of the purchase price allocation is as follows (in
thousands):
 
          Current assets             $17,345
          Intangible assets           61,725
          Other noncurrent assets     17,011
                                     -------
 
               Total assets          $96,081
                                     =======
 
          Current liabilities          1,152
          Noncurrent liabilities      17,932
                                     -------
 
               Total liabilities     $19,084
                                     =======

     The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the results
of operations of the Company and Point Plastics assuming the acquisition was
consummated at the beginning of the prior period presented (in thousands, except
per share amount):
 
                                          Three months ended
                                          September 30, 1997
                                         ---------------------
                                              (unaudited)
 
 Net sales                                     $21,052(a)
 Net income (loss)                               2,038
 Net income (loss) per share - basic               .11
 Net income (loss) per share - diluted         $   .10
 

     (a) The pro forma results for the three months ended September 30, 1997
     include sales to a major customer that informed Point Plastics on May 4,
     1998 that it would be substantially reducing its purchases of products from
     Point Plastics.  Net sales to this customer were $1,991,000 for the quarter
     ended September 30, 1997.

                                      -9-

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred if the acquisition had been in effect for the entire period presented.
In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results.  The
pro forma impact of the Point Plastics acquisition for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 was not material.


(9)  Subsequent events:

     In October 1998, the Company entered into agreements in principle with two
strategic partners for its healthcare communications business, which are
described below.  The consummation of these agreements in principle are subject
to conditions, including execution of definitive agreements and receipt of final
corporate approvals.  The parties intend to complete these transactions before
the end of calendar year 1998.  However, no assurances can be given that the
Company will be successful in concluding these agreements and that definitive
agreements will be executed.

     The Company signed an agreement in principle with The Health Information
Network Connection ("THINC"), a regional healthcare network initiative created
by Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield ("Empire"), Group Health Incorporated
("GHI"), Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York ("HIP") and Greater New York
Hospital Association ("GNYHA").  As part of this agreement, Synetic would manage
the operations of THINC, provide THINC with relevant content, messaging and
clinical transaction services and make a minority equity investment in THINC.
Additionally, Empire, GHI and HIP would enter into agreements with Synetic, on
an exclusive basis, for Synetic to be their provider of clinical transaction
services, including online prescription drug and laboratory test ordering
consistent with patient histories and plan guidelines.

     The Company also signed an agreement in principle with Cerner Corporation,
a supplier of clinical and management information systems for care management.
This agreement would provide Synetic with both a perpetual license to use
Cerner's technology underlying its Health Network Architecture and a source of
distribution to support Synetic's healthcare communications business.  This
transaction would also result in Cerner having a minority equity participation
in Synetic's healthcare communications business.

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

  The historical operations of the Company are primarily related to its plastics
and filtration technologies business.  All revenues and a majority of operating
expenses were derived from these operations.  As discussed below, the
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 1998
include certain costs associated with the Company's activities in developing its
healthcare communications business.

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

  Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased by $5,713,000, or
38.5%, over the comparable prior year period.  The Company's net sales for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 include the sales of Point Plastics, acquired
July 21, 1998.  Inclusion of Point Plastics sales accounted for 25.6% of the
Company's overall increase in net sales.  The remaining 12.9% of the Company's
increase in net sales was due principally to sales by the Porous Media Group of
components for consumer applications.

  Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased by
$2,974,000, or 35.8%, over the comparable prior year period.  This increase was
attributable to the inclusion of the operations of Point Plastics and the
increased sales volume noted above.  As a percent of net sales, cost of sales
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 decreased to 54.9% from 56.1% in the
prior year period principally due to improvements in manufacturing efficiency.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 increased by $1,169,000, or 17.5%, over the comparable prior year
period due primarily to the inclusion in the current period of $901,000 in
expenses associated with Point Plastics.  As a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1998
decreased to 38.2% from 45.0% in the prior quarter principally due to increased
sales which were not proportionately offset by expenses, since these expenses do
not vary directly with sales.

  Interest and other income, net of interest expense, for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 decreased by $333,000 or 11.8% over the comparable prior year
period principally as a result of a decrease in funds available for investment
primarily due to the $34,400,000 payment for the cash portion of the purchase
price for Point Plastics.

  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased
to 48.4% from 43.7% in the prior year period principally due to the amortization
of intangible assets from the Point Plastics acquisition for which no tax
benefit will be recognized.

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

  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by $21,873,000 to
$295,834,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1998 principally due to
the $34,400,000 payment for the cash portion of the purchase price for Point
Plastics.

  As a result of the continuing efforts in developing its healthcare
communications business, the Company expects to incur significant research and

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
development expenditures in connection with this new area of business until the
products and services are successfully developed and marketed. During the three
months ended September 30, 1998, the Company incurred expenditures of
approximately $4,028,000 related to the development of its healthcare
communications business. 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, including the research and
development expenditures noted above.

  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 sources, including, without limitation,
(a) the Company's 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.  There can
be no assurance that the Company's acquisition program will be successful.  See
"Item 1. Business--Acquisition Program" in the 1998 10-K.

Disclosures About Market Risk
- -----------------------------

  The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's investment in marketable securities.  The Company
does not use derivative financial instruments in its investments.  The Company's
investments consist primarily of U.S. Treasury Notes and Federal Agency Notes.
The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest
rates by expected maturity date for the Company's investment portfolio and debt
obligations.

Year 2000
- ---------

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs using two digits
rather than four digits to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a
disruption of normal business activities.  Many of the Company's suppliers,
vendors and customers also face this issue.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
     The Company has completed an assessment of its Year 2000 readiness and is
undergoing a conversion of its internal systems which are not currently Year
2000 compliant.  As of September 15, 1998, the Company completed the conversion
of all significant non-manufacturing systems.  The Company expects conversion of
the remaining information technology ("IT") related systems to be completed and
fully tested by June 30, 1999.  For non-IT systems, all significant
microprocessor-embedded production equipment has been upgraded and the Company
believes it is Year 2000 compliant.

     The Company is in the process of communicating with its suppliers, vendors
and customers concerning the state of their readiness for the Year 2000.  The
information gathered to date does not permit the Company to complete its
assessment of risk related to the Year 2000 that these third parties may present
to the Company.  If third parties upon which the Company relies are unable to
address this issue in a timely manner, such occurrence could result in a
material financial risk to the Company.

     The Company expects that the cost of Year 2000 compliance will not be
material.  If the Company does not complete the conversion of its manufacturing
systems by the end of 1999, the Company has Year 2000 compliant upgrades it
believes can readily be installed for its existing systems.  The Company
believes that, should it be necessary, the cost of installing such upgrades
would not be material.

     The Company intends to have in inventory a reserve of raw materials, which
it believes is sufficient to avoid a disruption in its manufacturing process, to
minimize the risk associated with third-party suppliers experiencing Year 2000
problems on January 1, 2000.

     The Company's statements regarding its Year 2000 project constitute forward
looking statements.  As the Year 2000 issue has many elements and potential
consequences, some of which are not reasonably foreseeable, the ultimate impact
of the Year 2000 on the operations of the Company could differ materially from
the Company's expectations.
