                                   (Unaudited)

(1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The consolidated financial statements of Lunar Corporation
(the "Company")
presented herein, without audit except for balance sheet
information at June
30, 1996, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and
Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not
include all
of the information and note disclosures required by generally
accepted
accounting principles.  These statements should be read in
conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended June 30,
1996, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 27, 1996.

   The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, the
consolidated
statements of income for the three and nine months ended March
31, 1997 and
1996, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine
months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management,
include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.  

   The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
March 31,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the
entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

(2)     INVENTORIES

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is

(3)     STOCK DIVIDEND

   The Company distributed a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a
stock
dividend on December 21, 1995.  All share and per-share data has
been adjusted
to reflect the stock dividend.

(4)     TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND SPIN-OFF OF SUBSIDIARY

   In October 1995, the Company contributed its ownership of
Continental
Assays Corporation and certain assets with a book value of
$175,867 for
1,698,674 shares of common stock of Bone Care International, Inc.
("Bone
Care"), a subsidiary of the Company.  In October 1995, the
Company also
exchanged $634,683 of loans receivable from Bone Care for 107,401
shares of
Bone Care common stock.  These transactions created a single
vitamin D
development business owned by Bone Care.

   On April 18, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company
declared a
dividend, payable to holders of record of its common stock at the
close of
business on April 24, 1996 (the "record date"), of one share of
Bone Care
common stock for every two shares of the Company's common stock.
The
distribution occurred on May 8, 1996 (the "distribution date").
Prior to the
distribution, the Company made a capital contribution of
$10,725,000 in
exchange for additional common stock of Bone Care and to pay for
federal income
tax benefits received from Bone Care.  As a result of the
distribution, the
Company's 97.3% ownership of Bone Care's common stock was
distributed to
holders of the Company's common stock as of the record date.
Bone Care's total
assets as of the distribution date were approximately
$12,650,000.

(5)     Stock Buyback Program

   On April 22, 1997, the Company approved a stock repurchase
program
pursuant to which it may repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its
common stock
from time to time based upon market conditions and other factors.
No
repurchase had been made as of May 14, 1997.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results
        of Operations

Results of Operations

   Revenues increased 15% to $19,857,000 in the three months
ended March 31,
1997 from $17,287,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996.
For the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, revenues increased 27% to
$59,288,000 from
$46,582,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  Sales by
product line are
summarized as follows:

                               Revenues by Product
                                  (in thousands)

               Three Months Ended            Nine Months Ended   
 
            March 31,      March 31,      March 31,      March

             $19,857        $17,287        $59,288       $46,582

   The increase in DPX sales in the current fiscal year is
primarily
attributable to increased shipments in the United States, which
the Company
believes are related to the introduction of several new drug
therapies during
the last 18 months.  Densitometer sales were somewhat below
expectations in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 due to lower-than-expected
sales in Japan and
Europe.  EXPERT sales in particular have been adversely impacted
by competitive
factors.  The increase in orthopedic imaging sales during the
three months
ended March 31, 1997 is due in part to the Company's introduction
of the ORCA
mini C-arm, a portable x-ray device used by surgeons to image
extremities.

   Cost of sales as a percentage of equipment sales averaged
approximately
44% in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997,
compared to 46%
and 45% in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996,
respectively.

   Research and development expenditures decreased to $1,430,000
in the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $1,489,000 in the three months
ended March 31,
1996, and decreased to $4,015,000 in the nine months ended March
31, 1997 from
$4,361,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  The Company
spun-off Bone
Care to its shareholders on May 8, 1996 in a transaction intended
to qualify as
a tax-free distribution. The costs of clinical trials and any
other costs
related to the research and development of vitamin D compounds
are no longer
included in the Company's consolidated net income.  Vitamin
D-related expenses
were $289,000 and $833,000 in the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1996,
respectively.

   Sales and marketing expenses were $4,118,000 in the three
months ended
March 31, 1997 and $3,606,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1996.  For
the nine months ended March 31, 1997, sales and marketing
expenses were
$12,492,000 compared to $9,995,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.
Sales and marketing expenses were 21% of equipment sales for all
periods
presented.

   General and administrative expenses increased to $1,306,000 in
the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $836,000 in the three months
ended March 31,
1996, and increased to $3,794,000 in the nine months ended March
31, 1997 from
$3,718,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The increases
were
primarily attributable to increased labor related costs.

   Interest income was $356,000 and $1,064,000 in the three and
nine months
ended March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to $410,000 and
$1,194,000 in the
three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively.    The
Company  sold
$7,300,000 of financed accounts receivable from selected
customers in Latin
America on December 31, 1996, and invested the proceeds in lower
yielding
government securities.

   In December 1996, a court awarded the Company and the
University of
Alabama-Birmingham (the co-plaintiffs) $4,200,000 in a patent
infringement case
against EG&G Astrophysics (EG&G).  The co-plaintiffs split the
award after
deducting legal expenses.  The Company's resulting $1,829,000
share of the
award is reflected in other income.  The co-plaintiffs entered
into a
Settlement and License Agreement with EG&G providing for future
royalty
payments based on the volume of EG&G equipment sales utilizing
the technology
subject to the license.

   The effective tax rate averaged 33% and 34% in the three and
nine month
periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to 31% and
28% in the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996, respectively.
The effective
tax rates vary from the federal statutory rate of 34% as a result
of the tax
benefit from the Company's foreign sales corporation, Lunar FSC,
Inc.,
tax-exempt interest income, offset by the provision for state
income taxes. The
effective tax rate has been trending higher in the current fiscal
year due to
increased profits from sales within the United States, which do
not benefit
from the Company's foreign sales corporation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash and cash equivalents decreased $809,000 to $7,193,000 in
the nine
months ended March 31, 1997.  Marketable securities aggregating
$22,621,000 at
March 31, 1997 consist of a laddered portfolio of readily
marketable high-grade
municipal bonds with various maturities not exceeding 48 months. 

   The Company's accounts receivable decreased $6,225,000 to
$29,734,000 at
March 31, 1997 from $35,953,000 at June 30, 1996.  This decrease
is
attributable to the sale of approximately $7,300,000 of accounts
receivable
from selected customers in Latin America to a leasing company on
December 31,
1996.  The Company continues to have recourse of approximately
10% of the sales
price in the event non-payment of the underlying accounts
receivable should
occur.  The resulting decrease was partially offset by higher
accounts
receivable resulting from increases in sales.

   Inventories increased 22% to $10,623,000 at March 31, 1997
from $8,675,000
at June 30, 1996.  The increase in inventories is primarily
attributable to
increases in DPX and orthopedic imaging parts.  The Company does
not have any
pending material commitments for capital expenditures.  

   On April 22, 1997, the Company approved a stock repurchase
program
pursuant to which it may repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its
common stock
from time to time based upon market conditions and other factors.
No
repurchase had been made as of May 14, 1997.

   Management believes the current level of cash and short-term
investments
is adequate to finance the Company's operations for the
foreseeable future.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                        LUNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

             Patent Litigation:  On March 5, 1996, the Company
and University
        of Alabama - Birmingham Research Foundation (UAB)
(collectively the
        co-plaintiffs) sued EG&G Astrophysics (EG&G) of Long
Beach,
        California, in the United States District Court for the
Western
        District of Wisconsin for infringement of U.S. Patent
4,626,688 (the
        '688 Patent) by EG&G's dual-energy baggage scanners.  A
trial of the
        matter in December of 1996 concluded with a verdict in
favor of the
        co-plaintiffs.  The Company and UAB were awarded $4.2
million in
        damages which was divided between the co-plaintiffs after
deducting
        legal expenses.  The co-plaintiffs also entered into a
Settlement and
        License Agreement with EG&G whereby EG&G was licensed
under the '688
        patent and a related U.S. patent.  The license agreement
provides for
        payment of royalties to the co-plaintiffs on EG&G's
dual-energy
        baggage scanners manufactured or sold in the United
States.  The
        license agreement ends on December 2, 2003.  

             During fiscal 1995 and part of fiscal year 1996, the
Company was
        involved in patent litigation with Hologic, Inc., a
Massachusetts-based
        competitor.  On November 22, 1995, the Company announced
the
        signing of a definitive agreement with Hologic settling
all disputes
        between the parties.  The agreement provides for certain
continuing
        payments between the companies related to future sales,
the net
        effect of which Lunar does not believe will be material
to its
        revenues or earnings.  The agreement also provides that
the companies
        will not engage each other in patent litigation in the
area of x-ray
        and ultrasound densitometry for a ten-year period.
