statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial
statements and notes thereto included in Lunar's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 1999.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, the
consolidated
statements of income for the three and six months ended December 31,
1999 and
1998, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six
months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 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.
Lunar has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year
information
to conform with the current presentation format.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended December
31,
1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the
entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.

(2)  INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is
determined
principally by the first-in, first-out method.  Inventories are
broken down
as follows:

(3)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On April 22, 1997, Lunar 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.  Lunar has
repurchased 369,400 shares under this program as of January 31, 2000.


(4)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The difference between the weighted average number of common
shares and
the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common
shares is
due to the effect of dilutive stock options.

(5) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Effective July 1, 1998, Lunar adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes
standards
to report and display comprehensive income and its components in a
full set of
general purpose financial statements.  Lunar's comprehensive income
was
as follows:

(6) SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT

Lunar settled a lawsuit with Osteometer Meditech A/S and Rapiscan
Security
Systems Inc. during the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  Lunar
incurred
expenses of $579,555 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998
comprised of legal
expenses, a settlement payment, and a patent write-off related to
this
settlement.


Item 2.   MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Equipment sales and other revenue increased 1% to $23,561,000 in the
three
months ended December 31, 1999 from $23,410,000 in the three months
ended
December 31, 1998.  For the six months ended December 31, 1999,
equipment sales
and other revenue increased 1% to $46,474,000 from $46,235,000 in the
six months
ended December 31, 1998.  Sales by product line are summarized as
follows:

                        ============  ============   ============
===========

X-ray densitometry sales in the three and six months ended December
31, 1999
were lower compared to the prior periods as a result of a decrease in
the number
of units sold. Average selling prices were also lower due to
competitive pricing
pressures. The increase in ultrasound densitometry revenue is
primarily due to
the introduction of the Achilles Express in May 1999.  The increase
in
Orthopedic Imaging sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999
is primarily
due to increased unit sales of the E-Scan dedicated MRI system.  The
increase in
service revenue is attributable to a growing installed base of
densitometers in
the United States.

Cost of sales as a percentage of equipment sales averaged
approximately 56% and
57% in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999,
respectively,
compared to 57% and 55% in the three and six month periods ended
December 31,
1998, respectively.  The lower margins in the six months ended
December 31,
1999 primarily result from a decrease in densitometry average selling
prices and
a higher mix of orthopedic imaging equipment sales which have lower
gross profit
margins.

Research and development expenditures decreased to $1,296,000 in the
three
months ended December 31, 1999 from $1,768,000 in the three months
ended
December 31, 1998, and decreased to $2,946,000 in the six months
ended December
31, 1999 from $3,814,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1998.
These
expenses were lower due to the completion of development work
associated with
the Prodigy and Achilles Express bone densitometers. Lunar expects
this trend to
continue and plans to spend less on research and development in
fiscal 2000
compared to fiscal 1999.

Selling and marketing expenses were $5,396,000 in the three months
ended
December 31, 1999, compared to $6,655,000 in the three months ended
December
31, 1998, representing a decrease to 23% from 28% as a percentage of
equipment
sales. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, selling and
marketing
expenses were $10,703,000 compared to $12,348,000 for the six months
ended
December 31, 1998, representing a decrease to 23% from 27% as a
percentage of
equipment sales.  These decreases are primarily attributable to
reduced spending
on document translations, advertising, literature creation and a
reduced
headcount in the marketing department.

General and administration expenses decreased to $1,123,000 in the
three months
ended December 31, 1999 from $1,300,000 in the three months ended
December 31,
1998, and decreased to $2,136,000 in the six months ended December
31, 1999
from $2,394,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1998. In May
1999 Lunar
sold the assets of Bona Fide, Ltd.  This sale resulted in lower
general and
administrative expenses.

Interest income was $482,000 and $977,000 in the three and six months
ended
December 31, 1999, compared to $346,000 and $693,000 in the three and
six
months ended December 31, 1998.  The increase is due to improved
collection
experience on interest associated with financed receivables and
higher amounts
invested in marketable securities.

The effective tax rate averaged 30% in both the three and six month
periods
ended December 31, 1999, compared to the 26% and 28% in the three and
six month
periods ended December 31, 1998.  The rate for the three and six
month periods
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is below the 34% federal statutory
rate as a
result of tax-exempt interest income and the tax benefit of the
foreign sales
corporation offset by the provision for state income taxes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7,806,000 to $5,861,000 in the
six months
ended December 31, 1999. Lunar has a $20,470,000 laddered portfolio
of
high-grade, readily marketable municipal bonds with various
maturities not
exceeding 48 months.  Total cash and marketable securities decreased
by
$2,880,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1999 primarily as
a result
of fixed asset purchases offset by the proceeds from the sale of
Lunar's
former corporate headquarters.

Lunar's trade accounts receivable increased $1,782,000 to $36,842,000
at
December 31, 1999 from $35,060,000 at June 30, 1999.  This increase
is primarily
attributable to higher sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1999
as
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and higher accounts
receivable
from MRI customers which generally have longer payment terms.

Lunar has financed the sale of its equipment to Brazilian customers
for more
than eight years and has approximately $7,909,000 in outstanding
receivables
from Brazilian customers as of December 31, 1999.  During fiscal
years 1998 and
1997 Lunar sold approximately $15,000,000 of Brazilian accounts
receivable to
two finance companies of which approximately $3,079,000 is
outstanding as of
December 31, 1999. The two finance companies have maximum recourse of
$1,395,000
against Lunar related to these receivables.  All of the Brazilian
accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars.  In January 1999
the
Brazilian government allowed its currency, the real, to freely trade
against the
U.S. dollar which to date has resulted in a 46% devaluation of the
real as
compared to the U.S. dollar. Lunar has incurred some payment delays
from
Brazilian customers and lower sales in Brazil as a result of this
devaluation.
Lunar has renegotiated longer payment terms for a majority of these
Brazilian
customers. As a result, collection activities have recently improved
and total
financed Brazilian accounts receivable have declined to $7,909,000
from
$8,091,000 at June 30,1999.

Inventories decreased 10% to $12,224,000 at December 31, 1999 from
$13,656,000
at June 30, 1999.  This decrease is a result of management's focus on
reducing
inventory levels. Management expects inventory levels to decline
further during
fiscal year 2000.


Lunar purchased a 25-acre parcel of land in January 1998 for
$1,949,000 and
began construction of an assembly, warehouse, and office building in
October
1998.  Lunar moved its assembly operations and warehouse to the new
building in
July 1999 and moved its office personnel in October 1999.  Lunar does
not have
any pending material commitments for capital expenditures.


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

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after
June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Lunar does not expect
this
statement to have a material effect on its financial statements.



Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Lunar's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate
primarily to Lunar's investment portfolio.  Lunar does not use
derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio.  Lunar
places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by
policy, limits
the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.  As stated in its
policy,
Lunar is adverse to principal loss and ensures the safety and
preservation
of its invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and
reinvestment
risk.  Lunar mitigates default risk by investing in only high credit
quality securities.  The portfolio includes only marketable
securities with
active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity.
All
investments mature, by policy, in 48 months or less.

Lunar uses forward currency contracts in its management of foreign
currency exposures.  The contracts are in the European EURO and
generally
have maturities that do not exceed three months.  Realized gains and
losses
on such contracts are included in other income at the time the hedged
transaction occurs. There were no deferred gains or losses at
December 31,
1999.  These contracts are with major financial institutions thereby
minimizing
the risk of credit loss.

The table below provides information about Lunar's market sensitive
financial instruments and constitutes a "forward-looking statement."
All
items described below are non-trading and are stated in U.S. dollars.

     PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
     LUNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

On May 21, 1998 Lunar filed suit in the Federal Court of Canada-Trial
Division
against International Medical Research Ottawa("IMRO") for
infringement of
Lunar's Canadian patent number 1,323,090. IMRO manufactures and sells
ultrasound
bone densitometers in Canada and has manufactured ultrasound
densitometers for
Norland Medical Systems, Inc. for distribution and sales throughout
the world.
The parties have been involved in settlement discussions but no
definitive
settlement agreement has been reached.

On January 20, 1999 Lunar brought suit against EG&G Astrophysics
Research
Corporation and its parent company EG&G, Inc. (collectively referred
to as
"EG&G") in the United States District Court for the Western District
of
Wisconsin for infringement of U.S. patent number 5,841,832 (the 832
patent)
by EG&G's dual-energy baggage scanners.  In October 1999, the parties
reached an
agreement to resolve this litigation. Under the terms of the
agreement, EG&G
will pay royalties to Lunar for all sales of products that utilize
the
technology claimed in the 832 patent.

OTHER MATTERS: Lunar is a defendant from time to time in actions
arising out of
its ordinary business operations. There are no other legal
proceedings known to
Lunar at this time, which it believes, would likely have a material
adverse
impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows of Lunar.
To Lunar's knowledge, there are no material legal proceedings to
which any
director, officer, affiliate or more than 5% shareholder of Lunar (or
any
associate of the foregoing persons) is a party adverse to Lunar or
any of its
subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to Lunar.

Item 5.   Other Information

SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: In addition to the
historical
information presented in this quarterly report, Lunar has made and
will make
certain forward-looking statements in this report, other reports
filed by Lunar
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to stockholders
and in
certain other contexts relating to future net sales, costs of sales,
other
expenses, profitability, financial resources, or products and
production
schedules. Statements relating to the foregoing or that predict or
indicate
future events and trends and which do not relate solely to historical
matters
identify forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are
made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are
based on
management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information
currently
available to management. Accordingly, Lunar's actual results may
differ
materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking
statements
due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that exist in
Lunar's
operations and business environment, including, among other factors,
technical
risks associated with the development of new products, regulatory
policies in
the United States and other countries, reimbursement policies of
public and
private health care payors, introduction and acceptance of new drug
therapies,
competition from existing products and from new products or
technologies, the
failure by Lunar to produce anticipated cost savings or improve
productivity,
the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures and acquisitions,
currency
exchange risks, economic and market conditions in the United States,
Europe and
the rest of the world, changes in customer spending levels, the cost
and
availability of raw materials, and other risks associated with
Lunar's
operations. Although Lunar believes that its forward-looking
statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that
actual results,
performance or achievements will not differ materially from any
future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking
statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Lunar disclaims any obligation to update
any such
factors or to publicly announce any revisions to any of the
forward-looking
statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

                               LUNAR CORPORATION
                             AMENDED AND RESTATED
                               STOCK OPTION PLAN


     1.  PLAN.  To provide incentives to officers, key employees and
consultants
of Lunar Corporation (the "Company"), its subsidiaries, and any other
entity
(collectively "subsidiaries") designated by the Board of Directors of
the
Company(the "Board"), and members of the Board to contribute to the
success and
prosperity of the Company, based upon the ownership of the common
stock, par
value $.01, of the Company ("Common Stock"), the Committee
hereinafter
designated, may grant nonqualified stock options to officers, key
employees,
consultants and eligible members of the Board on the terms and
subject to the
conditions stated in this Plan.

     2.  ELIGIBILITY.  Officers, key employees and consultants of the
Company
and its subsidiaries and members of the Board who are not employees
of the
Company ("non-employee directors") shall be eligible, upon selection
by the
Committee, to receive stock options as the Committee, in its
discretion, shall
determine.

     3.  SHARES ISSUABLE. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock to be
issued after the effective date of this Plan pursuant to all grants
of stock
options hereunder shall be 2,400,000, subject to adjustment in
accordance with
Section 5. Shares of Common Stock subject to a stock option granted
hereunder,
which are not issued by reason of the expiration, cancellation or
other
termination of such stock option, shall again be available for future
grants of
stock options under this Plan; provided, however, that in the event a
stock
option is granted under this Plan in replacement or cancellation of,
or in
exchange for, an outstanding stock option previously granted under
this Plan or
any other plan of the Company, and the option price per share of the
newly
granted stock option is less than the option price per share of the
stock option
being replaced, canceled or exchanged, then the shares of Common
Stock subject
to the replaced, canceled or exchanged stock option shall not be
available for
future grants of stock options under this plan, except to the extent
a majority
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approve any such
replacement,
cancellation or exchange.

     Shares of Common Stock to be issued may be authorized and
unissued shares
of Common Stock, treasury stock, or a combination thereof.

     To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the rules and regulations
thereunder, the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
options may be
granted during any calendar year to any person shall be 100,000,
subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 5.

     4.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.  This Plan shall be administered
by a
committee designated by the Board (the "Committee") consisting of two
or more
members of the Board, each of whom shall be a "Non-Employee Director"
within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and an "outside director" within the meaning of
Section 162(m)
of the Code.

     The Committee shall, subject to the terms of this Plan,
establish
eligibility guidelines, select officers, key employees, consultants
and
non-employee directors for participation in this Plan and determine
the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to a stock option granted
hereunder, the
exercise price for such shares of Common Stock, the time and
conditions of
vesting or exercise and all other terms and conditions of the stock
option,
including, without limitation, the form of the option agreement.  The
Committee
may establish rules and regulations for the administration of the
Plan,
interpret the Plan and impose, incidental to the grant of a stock
option,
conditions with respect to the grant or award of stock options or
competitive
employment or other activities not inconsistent with or conflicting
with this
Plan.  All such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to
this Plan
adopted by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all
parties.  All
grants of stock options under this Plan shall be evidenced by written
agreements
between the Company and the optionees, and no such grant shall be
valid until so
evidenced.

     5.  CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  Appropriate adjustments shall be
made by
the Committee in the maximum number of shares to be issued under the
Plan and
the maximum number of shares which are subject to any stock option
granted
hereunder, and the exercise price therefor, to give effect to any
stock splits,
stock dividends and other relevant changes in the capitalization of
the Company
occurring after the effective date of this Plan (which shall not
include the
sale by the Company of shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into
shares of Common Stock).

     6.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN.  This Plan shall be
submitted to the
shareholders of the Company for approval and, if approved, shall
become
effective on the date thereof.  This Plan shall terminate ten years
after it
becomes effective unless terminated prior thereto by action of the
Board.  No
further grants shall be made under this Plan after termination, but
termination
shall not affect the rights of any optionee under any grants made
prior to
termination.

     7.  AMENDMENTS.  This Plan may be amended by the Board in any
respect,
except that no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if
such
amendment would (a) increase the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock
available for issuance under this Plan (other than as provided in
Section 5),
(b) amend the first paragraph of Section 3 to permit shares subject
to an
outstanding stock option that is replaced, canceled or exchanged for
a newly
granted stock option with an option price per share lower than the
option price
per share of the outstanding stock option to become available for
future grants,
or (c) otherwise require shareholder approval.

     8.  EXISTING STOCK OPTIONS.  Stock options granted by the
Company prior to
the date of shareholder approval of this Plan shall continue in
effect in
accordance with their terms.

     9.  GRANTS OF STOCK OPTIONS.  Options to purchase shares of
Common Stock
may be granted hereunder to such eligible officers, key employees,
consultants,
and non-employee directors as may be selected by the Committee.

     10.  OPTION PRICE.  The option price per share of Common Stock
purchasable
upon exercise of an option granted hereunder shall be determined by
the
Committee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the option price per share of
Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of an option granted under this Plan shall
be 100% of
the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant
of such
option.  For purposes hereof, "fair market value" shall be determined
by the
Committee.

     11.  STOCK OPTION PERIOD.  Each stock option granted hereunder
may be
granted at any time on or after the effective date, and prior to the
termination, of this Plan.  The Committee shall determine whether
such stock
option shall become exercisable in cumulative or non-cumulative
installments or
in full at any time.  An exercisable stock option may be exercised in
whole or
in part with respect to whole shares of Common Stock only.  The
period for the
exercise of each stock option shall be determined by the Committee.

     12.  EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS.  (a) Upon exercise, the option
price may be
paid in cash, in shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on
the date
of exercise equal to the option price, or in a combination thereof.
The Company
may arrange or approve of a cashless option exercise procedure which
complies
with the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules
and
regulations thereunder.

     (b)Unless otherwise set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, an
option may
be exercised during an optionee's continued employment with the
Company or one
of its subsidiaries, or service on the Board, as the case may be,
and, except in
the event of such optionee's death, within a period of 30 days
following
termination of such employment or service, but only to the extent
exercisable
and within the term of such option at the time of the termination of
such
employment or service; provided, however, that if employment of the
optionee by
the Company or one of its subsidiaries or service on the Board shall
have
terminated by reason of retirement after age 60, then the option may
be
exercised within a period not in excess of one year following such
termination
of employment or service on the Board, but only to the extent
exercisable and
within the term of such option at the time of such termination of
employment or
service.

     (c)Unless otherwise set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, no
option
shall be transferable except that (1) in the event of the death of an
optionee
(i) during employment or service on the Board, as the case may be,
(ii) within a
period of one year after termination of employment or service on the
Board, as
the case may be, by reason of retirement after age 60 at a time when
the option
is otherwise exercisable or (iii) within 30 days after termination of
employment
or service on the Board, as the case may be, for any other reason,
outstanding
stock option may be exercised, but only to the extent exercisable and
within the
term of such option prior to the application of this Section 12, by
the
executor, administrator, personal representative, beneficiary or
similar person
of such deceased optionee within one year of the death of such
optionee in the
case of clauses (i) and (ii) or within 90 days of the death of such
optionee in
the case of clause (iii) and (2) the Committee may consent to the
transfer or
transferability of any particular option in the manner approved by
the
Committee.

     13.  ACCELERATION OF OPTIONS UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL.  The
following
provisions shall apply in the event of a "Change in Control":

     (a)  In the event of a Change in Control, any stock options not
previously
exercisable in full shall become fully exercisable.

                            LUNAR CORPORATION
                       NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

Lunar Corporation (the "Company") hereby irrevocably grants to ? (the
"Employee") an option to purchase from time to time all or any part
of a total
of ? common shares of the Company, at a price of $? per share, upon
the terms
and conditions set forth below.

This option is granted as of ? under the Lunar Corporation Amended
and
Restated Stock Option Plan (herein called the "Plan") in
consideration for
employee's agreement that any dispute with the company will be
submitted
exclusively to arbitration according to the procedure described in
Attachment
A hereto; and for the purpose of furnishing to the Employee an
appropriate
incentive to improve operations and increase profits, and encourage
the
Employee to continue employment with the Company and its
subsidiaries.

The terms and conditions of the option are as follows:

     1.  This option may, but need not, be exercised in installments,
but may
     be exercised only to the extent, and within the time periods,
described
     below.  During the lifetime of the Employee, it may be exercised
only by
     the Employee and (except as provided below) only while in the
employ of
     the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     2.  The option may be exercised only after one year following
the
     granting date.  Termination of employment in this one-year
period will
     terminate all rights under the option.  After one year from the
granting
     date, one-fifth of the total number of shares covered by this
option may
     be exercised; after two years from the granting date, two-fifths
of the
     total number of shares covered by this option may be exercised;
after
     three years from the granting date, three-fifths of the total
number of
     shares covered by this option may be exercised; after four years
from the
     granting date, four-fifths of the total number of shares covered
by this
     option may be exercised; and after five years, this option shall
be
     exercisable in full.  The right to purchase shall cumulate so
that shares
     may be purchased at any time after becoming eligible for
purchase until
     termination of the option.

     3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
2, this
     option shall become fully exercisable in the event of a "Change
in
     Control" of the Company.  A Change in Control is more fully
defined in
     the Plan Document, but includes:

     (i)  The sale or other disposition by the Company of all or
substantially
          all of its assets to a person, firm or other entity not
controlling,
          controlled by or under common control with the Company;

     (ii) The sale or other disposition (including a merger or
consolidation)
          of capital stock of the Company if, as a consequence
thereof,
          capital stock representing more than 50% of the Company's
total
          voting power is sold or disposed of, in one or a series of
related
          transactions, to a person, firm or other entity not
controlling,
          controlled by, or under common control with the Company.

     4.  If employment with the Company terminates at a time when the
Employee
     is entitled to exercise all or a part of the option, for any
reason other
     than death, the option shall expire as of thirty (30) days after
written
     notice of termination; provided that if the termination of
employment is
     by reason of retirement (under a pension or retirement plan of
the
     Company or subsidiary), this option may be exercised by the
Employee
     within twelve months after the date of retirement but only to
the extent
     exercisable on said date of retirement.  A leave of absence
approved in
     writing by the Human Resources Manager and the President shall
not be
     termination of employment for purposes of the Plan.

     5.  In the event of death of the Employee during employment or
after
     retirement at a time when this option is otherwise exercisable,
the
     option may be exercised within twelve months after such death,
and only:

          a.   By the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Employee
               or the person or persons to whom rights under the
option have
               passed by will or the laws of descent and
distribution; and

          b.   To the extent that the Employee was entitled to do so
at the
               date of death.

     6.  The option may not, under any circumstances, be exercised
after
     expiration of ten (10) years from the granting date.

     7.  No fractional share may be purchased under this option
except in
     combination with a fraction or fractions under another option or
options
     granted under the Program, and then only to the extent that such
     combination equals a full share.

     8.  Nothing herein confers upon the Employee any right to
continue in the
     employ of the Company or of any subsidiary.

     9.  This option shall not be transferable or assignable, in
whole or in
     part, except (a) by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or
     (b) as may be approved by the Committee.  Subject to the
foregoing, this
     option may not be assigned, transferred (except as aforesaid),
pledged,
     or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, and
     shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar
process.  Any
     attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other
     disposition of this option contrary to the provisions hereof,
and the
     levy of any attachment or similar process upon this option,
shall be null
     and void and without effect.

     10.  The shares of common stock issuable to Optionee upon
exercise of
     this option ("Option Stock") are expressly subject to the terms
of the
     Bylaws of the corporation as may be amended by the Shareholders
from time
     to time.  No transfer of Option Stock may be made except in
accordance
     with the provisions of the Bylaws.  By accepting this option,
Optionee
     hereby agrees that, as an express condition to receiving shares
of common
     stock issuable upon exercise of this option, Optionee and his
spouse will
     execute whatever documents the Company requires so as to bind
the
     Optionee and his spouse, and the shares of common stock issuable
upon
     exercise of this option, to the terms of the Bylaws.

     11.  All terms and conditions of this option agreement are
subject to and
     shall be interpreted according to the terms of the Lunar
Corporation
     Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (attached hereto).

     12.  Prior to the exercise of this option and as a condition to
the
     Company's obligation to deliver shares upon such exercise, the
Optionee
     shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the
payment of
     any applicable federal or other withholding taxes payable as a
result
     thereof.

     13.  The option may be exercised only by delivering to the
Secretary or
     other designated employee of the Company a written notice of
exercise,
     specifying the number of common shares with respect to which the
option
     is then being exercised, and accompanied by payment of the full
purchase
     price of the shares being purchased in cash, or by the surrender
of other
     common shares of the Company held by the Employee having a then
fair
     market value equal to the purchase price, or a combination
thereof, plus
     payment in cash of the full amount of any taxes which the
Company
     believes are required to be withheld and paid with respect to
such
     exercise, and in the event the option is being exercised by a
person or
     persons other than the Employee, such appropriate tax clearance,
proof of
     the right of such person or persons to exercise the option, and
other
     pertinent data as the Company may deem necessary.

     14.  The Company shall issue a certificate or certificates for
shares
     purchased upon exercise of the option; however, the Company
shall not be
     required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares
purchased pending
     compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and
other
     laws (including any registration requirements) and compliance
with rules
     and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
common
     shares are listed.

     15.  In the event that there is any change in the number of
issued common
     shares of the Company without new consideration to the Company
(such as
     by stock dividends or stock split-ups), then (i) the number of
shares at
     the time unexercised under this option shall be changed in
proportion to
     such change in issued shares; and (ii) the option price for the
     unexercised portion of the option granted shall be adjusted so
that the
     aggregate consideration payable to the Company upon the purchase
of all
     shares not theretofore purchased shall not be changed.

     If the outstanding common shares of the Company shall be
combined, or be
     changed into another kind of stock of the Company or into
securities of
     another corporation, whether through recapitalization,
reorganization,
     sale, merger, consolidation, etc., the Company shall cause
adequate
     provision to be made whereby the person or persons entitled to
exercise
     this option shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon due
exercise of
     any portion of the option, the securities equivalent to those
which that
     person would have been entitled to receive for common shares
acquired
     through exercise of the same portion  of such option immediately
prior to
     the effective date of such recapitalization, reorganization,
sale,
     merger, consolidation, etc.  If appropriate, due adjustment
shall be made
     in the per-share or per-unit price of the securities purchased
on
     exercise of this option following said recapitalization,
reorganization,
     sale, merger, consolidation, etc.

     16.  Upon written request, the Company agrees to furnish the
Optionee a
     copy of its annual financial statements within 120 days after
the end of
     each fiscal year.

     17.  Neither this option, shares issued upon its exercise, any
excess of
     market value over option price, nor any other rights, benefits,
values,
     or interest resulting from the granting of this option shall be
     considered as compensation for purposes of any pension or
retirement
     plan, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, or any
other
     employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     18.  Every notice or other communication relating to this
Agreement shall
     be in writing and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party
for whom
     it is intended in each case properly addressed, if to the
Company at its
     principal place of business, Attention:  Corporate President, or
if
     mailed or delivered to the Optionee at his address set forth
below his
     signature to this Agreement (or to such other address as may
hereafter be
     designated in writing by either party to this Agreement to the
other).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this option to be
executed by its duly authorized officers as of the granting date
above set forth.
