                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of Lunar Corporation presented
herein, without audit except for balance sheet information at June 30,
1999, 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 included in Lunar's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999.

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000, the consolidated
statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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 nine months ended March 31,
2000, 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 419,400 shares under this program as of April 30, 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 12% to $22,211,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from $19,749,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2000,
equipment sales and other revenue increased 4% to $68,686,000 from
$65,984,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1999.  Sales by product
line are summarized as follows:

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

X-ray densitometry sales in nine months ended March 31, 2000 declined
compared to the same period last year as a result of a decrease in
the number of units sold.  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 three and
nine months ended March 31, 2000 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 and MRI equipment
in the United States.

Gross profit as a percentage of equipment sales averaged approximately 45%
and 44% in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2000,
respectively, compared to 41% and 44% in the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 1999, respectively.  The higher margins in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 primarily result from an increase in sales of the PRODIGY
x-ray densitometer which has a higher margin than Lunar's other table
densitometers.

Research and development expenditures decreased to $1,337,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $1,804,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999, and decreased to $4,283,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 from $5,618,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 1999.
Current fiscal year expenses were lower due to the completion of development
work associated with the Prodigy and Achilles Express bone densitometers in
fiscal year 1999.

Selling and marketing expenses were $5,276,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $6,688,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999, representing a decrease to 24% from 34% as a percentage
of revenues. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, selling and
marketing expenses were $15,976,000 compared to $19,036,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, representing a decrease to 23% from 29% as
a percentage of revenues.  One reason for the decline in sales and marketing
expenses is that Lunar increased the allowance for doubtful accounts by
$1,000,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, in anticipation of possible
losses on its portfolio of Brazilian receivables.  These decreases are also
attributable to reduced spending on document translations, advertising,
literature creation, and a reduced headcount in the Marketing Department.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,036,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $1,131,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999, and decreased to $3,172,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 from $3,525,000 in the nine months ended March 31,
1999. In May 1999 Lunar sold the business and related assets of Bona
Fide, Ltd. which contributed to lower general and administrative expenses
in fiscal year 2000.

Interest income was $545,000 and $1,522,000 in the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $443,000 and $1,136,000 in
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, respectively.  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 nine month
periods ended March 31, 2000, compared to the 28% in the three and
nine month periods ended March 31, 1999.  The rate for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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 $7,899,000 to $5,767,000 in the nine
months ended March 31, 2000, due to increased investments in marketable
securities. Lunar has a $26,019,000 laddered portfolio of high-grade,
readily marketable municipal bonds with various maturities not exceeding
48 months.  Total cash and marketable securities increased by $2,575,000
during the nine months ended March 31, 2000.

Lunar has financed the sale of its equipment to Brazilian customers for
more than eight years and has approximately $7,916,000 in outstanding
receivables from Brazilian customers as of March 31, 2000.  During
fiscal years 1998 and 1997 Lunar sold approximately $15,000,000 of
Brazilian accounts receivable to two finance companies of which
approximately $2,534,000 is outstanding as of March 31, 2000. The two
finance companies have maximum recourse of $684,000 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 resulted in a 49% 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 that purchased equipment prior to March 31, 1999. Total
financed Brazilian accounts receivable declined to $7,916,000 from
$8,091,000 at June 30, 1999.

Inventories decreased 10% to $12,307,000 at March 31, 2000 from
$13,656,000 at June 30, 1999, as a result of management's focus on
reducing inventory levels. Management expects inventory levels to
decline further during the next year.

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 March 31,
2000.  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 pays 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.

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
