             LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA HOLDINGS AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


          1.   BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

               Prior to  April 28,  1995, the  Company's name  was National
          Health  Laboratories Holdings Inc.  ("NHL").  On  April 28, 1995,
          following approval at  a special meeting  of the stockholders  of
          the  Company, the name of  the Company was  changed to Laboratory
          Corporation of America Holdings.   

               The consolidated  financial statements include  the accounts
          of  Laboratory Corporation  of America  Holdings and  its wholly-
          owned  subsidiaries  (the  "Company")  after  elimination  of all
          material intercompany accounts and transactions. 

               The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
          of  the Company  and  its subsidiaries  are  unaudited.   In  the
          opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
          recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results
          of operations have been made.

          2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

               Earnings  per  share are  based  upon  the weighted  average
          number of  shares outstanding  during  the three  and six  months
          ended June  30, 1995 of 111,177,517 shares and 98,045,102 shares,
          respectively,  and   the  weighted  average   number  of   shares
          outstanding during the three  and six months ended June  30, 1994
          of 84,751,763  and 84,751,231 shares respectively.   The increase
          in  the total number of shares  outstanding for the three and six
          months ended June 30,  1995 resulted from the issuance  of shares
          of common stock to HLR Holdings, Inc. ("HLR") and Roche Holdings,
          Inc.  in  connection  with   the  merger  with  Roche  Biomedical
          Laboratories, Inc. described in footnote 3 herein.

          3.   MERGER WITH ROCHE BIOMEDICAL LABORATORIES, INC.

               On April  28, 1995, the  Company completed  its merger  with
          Roche  Biomedical  Laboratories,  Inc.  ("RBL")  pursuant  to  an
          Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of
          December 13, 1994 (the "Merger").  

               Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement, each outstanding share of
          common stock, par value  $0.01 per share of the  Company ("Common
          Stock") (other  than as  provided in  the Merger  Agreement), was
          converted  (the "Share Conversion") into  (i) 0.72 of  a share of
          Common Stock of  the Company and  (ii) $5.60 in  cash per  share,
          without  interest.   The aggregate  number  of shares  issued and
          outstanding following theShare Conversion was 61,041,135.  Also,

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)

          3.   MERGER WITH ROCHE BIOMEDICAL LABORATORIES, INC. - Continued

          an aggregate of  538,307 shares  of Common Stock  were issued  in
          connection  with  the  cancellation  of  certain  employee  stock
          options.

               In addition, pursuant to  the Merger Agreement, an aggregate
          of 61,329,256 shares  of Common Stock were issued  to HLR and its
          designee, Roche Holdings,  Inc. in  exchange for   all shares  of
          common stock, no par value, of RBL outstanding  immediately prior
          to  the effective date of the Merger (other than treasury shares,
          which  were canceled)  and a  cash contribution  described below.
          The  issuance   of  such  shares  of   Common  Stock  constituted
          approximately  49.9% of  the total  outstanding shares  of Common
          Stock outstanding immediately after the Merger.

               The   Company  also  made   a  distribution   (the  "Warrant
          Distribution")  to holders  of record  as of  April 21,  1995, of
          0.16308  of a warrant per outstanding share of Common Stock, each
          such  warrant representing the right to purchase one newly issued
          share of Common Stock for $22.00 (subject to adjustment) on April
          28,  2000  (each  such  warrant,  a  "Warrant").    Approximately
          13,826,308 Warrants have been  issued to stockholders entitled to
          receive   Warrants  in   the  Warrant   Distribution,  (including
          fractional  Warrants,  which  were   not  distributed,  but  were
          liquidated  in sales  on  the New  York  Stock Exchange  and  the
          proceeds thereof distributed to such stockholders).  In addition,
          pursuant  to the Merger Agreement  on April 28,  1995 the Company
          issued  to Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. ("Roche"), for a purchase price
          of approximately $51.0, 8,325,000 Warrants (the  Roche Warrants )
          to  purchase shares of Common Stock, which Warrants will have the
          terms described above.

               The  aggregate cash  consideration  of approximately  $474.8
          paid  to stockholders of the  Company in the  Merger was financed
          from  three  sources:   a  cash contribution  (the  "Company Cash
          Contribution")  of approximately  $288.1 out  of the  proceeds of
          borrowings under the  Bank Facility (as described below),  a cash
          contribution  made by  HLR  to  the  Company  in  the  amount  of
          approximately $135.7 and the proceeds  from the sale and issuance
          of the Roche Warrants.

               The exchange consideration  of approximately $558.0 for  the
          purchase of RBL consisted of the value of the stock issued to HLR
          and  Roche Holdings, Inc.,  as well  as other  cash costs  of the
          Merger, net  of cash  received  from HLR.   The  Merger has  been
          accounted  for under the  purchase method of  accounting; as such
          RBL's  assets and  liabilities were  recorded at  their estimated
          fair values on the date of acquisition.  The exchange consideration
          exceeded the fair value of acquired net tangible assets by

          3.   MERGER WITH ROCHE BIOMEDICAL LABORATORIES, INC. - Continued

          approximately $380.3,  which is estimated to  consist of goodwill
          of approximately  $296.6  and  customer  lists  of  approximately
          $83.7.  These items are being amortized over periods of 40 and 25
          years, respectively. The allocation of the purchase price will be
          finalized based on asset valuations which are not yet completed. 

               The following  table provides unaudited  pro forma operating
          results as if the  Merger and the acquisition of  Allied Clinical
          Laboratories, Inc., which was acquired on June 23, 1994, had been
          completed at the beginning of each of the periods presented.  The
          pro forma information does  not include the restructuring charges
          and the extraordinary item related to the  Merger.  The pro forma
          information has  been prepared for comparative  purposes only and
          does not purport to be indicative of future operating results.

               Earnings per common share       $  0.29        $  0.32

               The Company also entered into a credit agreement dated as of
          April 28,  1995 (the  "Credit Agreement"),  with the banks  named
          therein (the  "Banks") and  Credit Suisse  (New York  Branch), as
          administrative agent  (the "Bank  Agent"), under which  the Banks
          made  available to  the Company  a senior  term loan  facility of
          $800.0 (the "Term Loan Facility") and a revolving credit facility
          of $450.0 (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the
          Term  Loan  Facility, the  "Bank Facility").   The  Bank Facility
          provided  funds  for  the   Company  Cash  Contribution  for  the
          refinancing of  certain  existing debt  of  the Company  and  its
          subsidiaries and RBL, for related fees and expenses of the Merger
          and  for  general  corporate  purposes of  the  Company  and  its
          subsidiaries,  in each case  subject to the  terms and conditions
          set forth in the Credit Agreement.

               In connection  with the  Credit Agreement, the  Company paid
          the  Banks and  Bank  Agent customary  underwriting, closing  and
          participation fees, respectively.  In addition, the Company will 
          pay a facility fee  based on the total Revolving  Credit Facility
          commitment   (regardless  of   usage)   of   0.125%  per   annum.
          Availability of  funds under the Bank Facility  is conditioned on
          certain customary  conditions, and the  Credit Agreement contains
          customary  representations, warranties,  covenants and  events of
          default.

          3.   MERGER WITH ROCHE BIOMEDICAL LABORATORIES, INC. - Continued

               The Revolving Credit  Facility matures in  April 2000.   The
          Term  Loan Facility matures in December  2001, with repayments in
          each  quarter prior to maturity based on a specified amortization
          schedule.   For as  long as HLR and  its affiliates' ownership of
          outstanding  Company  common  stock (the   HLR  Group  Interest )
          remains  at  least  25%,  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  bears
          interest, at the option of the Company,  at (i)  Credit  Suisse s 
          Base Rate (as defined  in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the 
          Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin
          of 0.25% and the Term Loan Facility bears interest, at the option
          of the Company, at (i) Credit Suisse s Base Rate (as defined in the
          Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the
          Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.375%.  In the event there is a
          reduction in  the  HLR Group  interest to  below 25%,  applicable
          interest margins will not  be determined as set forth  above, but
          instead  will be  determined based  upon the  Company s financial
          performance as described in the Credit Agreement.

               The  Bank   Facility  is  unconditionally   and  irrevocably
          guaranteed by certain of the Company s subsidiaries.

               On April  28, 1995,  the Company  borrowed $800.0  under the
          Term Loan Facility and $184.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility
          (i) to pay  the Company Cash Contribution; (ii) to  repay in full
          the  existing revolving  credit  and term  loan  facilities of  a
          wholly-owned  subsidiary of  the Company of  approximately $640.0
          including interest  and fees; (iii) to  repay approximately $50.0
          of  existing indebtedness of RBL; and  (iv) for other transaction
          costs  in connection  with  the Merger  and  for use  as  working
          capital and  general corporate  purposes of  the Company and  its
          subsidiaries.

               In connection  with  the  repayment  of  existing  revolving
          credit  and  term  loan   facilities,  the  Company  recorded  an
          extraordinary  loss of  approximately  $13.5 ($8.3  net of  tax),
          consisting of the write-off  of deferred financing costs, related
          to the early extinguishment of debt.  

          4.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

               Following the  Merger, the Company determined  that it would
          be beneficial  to close Company laboratory  facilities in certain
          geographic  regions where  duplicate Company  and RBL  facilities
          existed at  the time  of the  Merger.   In addition,  the Company
          decided to downsize certain finance  and administrative positions
          in  La  Jolla,  California  in  order  to  eliminate  duplicative
          functions.

          4.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES - Continued

               Under   the  restructuring  plan,   the  Company  originally
          estimated it would take a $76.0 charge to cover the  costs of the
          restructuring  plan.   In refining  the plan,  the Company  later
          estimated  that  the  charge  required  was  $65.0.   The  charge
          includes  approximately  $24.2   to  reduce   the  workforce   by
          approximately 2,200  individuals.  The plan  includes a reduction
          of approximately 1,520 laboratory operations personnel, 
          approximately 80 sales and marketing personnel and approximately
          600 finance and administrative personnel both at laboratory 
          locations and in La Jolla, California.

               Approximately $21.3  of the restructuring charge consists of
          the reduction of  certain assets to  their net realizable  values
          and primarily consists of the write-off of approximately $17.7 of
          leasehold   improvements   on   facilities   to   be   closed  or
          significantly downsized.

               Lease  and   other   facility  obligations   accounted   for
          approximately $19.5  of the  restructuring charge, including  the
          future  minimum lease  payments and  expenses from  the estimated
          closing  or downsizing date to  the end of  the contractual lease
          term for facilities to be significantly downsized or closed.

               The   following   represents  the   Company's  restructuring
          activities for the period indicated:

                                          Asset       Lease and

          5.   PROVISION FOR SETTLEMENTS

               In  the second quarter of  1995, the Company  took a pre-tax
          special charge of $10.0 in connection with the estimated costs of
          settling   various   claims   pending   against    the   Company,
          substantially  all of  which are billing  disputes, in  which the
          Company  believes it is probable  that a cash  settlement will be
          made by  the Company.  As of June 30, 1995, approximately $4.0 in
          settlements and expenses have been paid.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

          Six Months Ended  June 30,  1995 compared with  Six Months  Ended
          June 30, 1994.

               Net  sales for  the  six months  ended  June 30,  1995  were
          $611.1,  an  increase  of  57.1%  from  $388.9  reported  in  the
          comparable  1994 period.  Net  sales from the  inclusion of Roche
          Biomedical Laboratories,  Inc.  ( RBL ), which  was  acquired  on
          April  28, 1995, increased  net sales by  approximately $130.1 or
          33.5%.  Also,  net sales  from the inclusion  of Allied  Clinical
          Laboratories,  Inc. ( Allied ),  which was  acquired on  June 23,
          1994,  increased  net  sales  by approximately  $56.6  or  14.6%.
          Growth  in  new  accounts  and  acquisitions  of  small  clinical
          laboratory companies  increased net  sales by approximately  9.3%
          and 5.1%, respectively.   A price increase,  effective on January
          1,  1995, increased net sales  by approximately 3.0%  for the six
          months ended June 30, 1995.  However, a reduction in Medicare fee
          schedules from 84% to  80% of the national limitation  amounts on
          January  1,  1995,  plus  changes in  reimbursement  policies  of
          various third  party payors,  reduced net sales  by approximately
          1.4%.   Other factors, including lower  utilization of laboratory
          testing and price erosion  in the industry as a  whole, comprised
          the remaining reduction in net sales.

               Cost  of  sales,  which includes  primarily  laboratory  and
          distribution costs, increased to $422.7 for the six  months ended
          June  30, 1995 from $268.8 in  the corresponding 1994 period.  Of
          the $153.9 increase, approximately $93.2 was due to the inclusion
          of the  cost of sales of  RBL and approximately $44.8  was due to
          the inclusion  of the cost  of sales  of Allied.   Cost of  sales
          increased by approximately $29.9 due to higher testing volume and
          approximately $3.7  due to  an increase in  compensation expense.
          Reductions in  several  expense categories,  including  supplies,
          insurance  and  fringe  benefits   decreased  cost  of  sales  by
          approximately $17.7.  Cost of sales as a percent of net sales was
          69.2%  for the six  months ended June  30, 1995 and  69.1% in the
          corresponding 1994 period.

               Selling,  general and  administrative expenses  increased to
          $95.4 for  the six months ended  June 30, 1995 from  $64.5 in the
          same period in 1994.  Approximately $19.6 of the increase was due
          to  the  inclusion of  the  selling,  general and  administrative
          expenses  of RBL and approximately  $7.7 due to  the inclusion of
          the selling, general and administrative expenses of Allied.   The
          remaining increase  was primarily  due to expansion  of the  data
          processing and billing departments due to increased volume and to
          improve customer service.  As a percentage of net sales, selling,
          general and

          June 30, 1994.

          administrative expenses  was 15.6% and  16.6% for the  six months
          ended June  30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease in the
          selling, general and administrative percentage primarily resulted
          from  an increase  in  net sales  in the  first  quarter of  1995
          compared  to the first quarter of 1994 and reductions in expenses
          due to the Company s on-going cost-reduction program.

               Management  expects net  sales to  continue to  grow through
          strategic acquisitions and the addition of new accounts, although
          there can be no  assurance that the Company will  experience such
          growth.  A reduction  in Medicare fee schedules, pursuant  to the
          Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA '93"), to 76% of
          the  median fee amounts, effective January 1, 1996 is expected to
          negatively impact net sales, cost of sales as a percentage of net
          sales  and  selling, general  and  administrative  expenses as  a
          percentage of net sales in the future.  Management cannot predict
          if price erosion  or utilization declines  will continue or  what
          their  ultimate effect on net sales or results of operations will
          be.  It  is the objective of  management to partially  offset the
          increases  in cost  of sales  as a  percentage of  net sales  and
          selling, general  and administrative expenses as  a percentage of
          net sales  through comprehensive cost reduction  programs at each
          of the Company's  regional laboratories, although there can be no
          assurance of the success of such programs.

               The increase in amortization of intangibles and other assets
          to $11.5 for the six months ended  June 30, 1995 from $6.5 in the
          corresponding period  in 1994 primarily resulted  from the Merger
          in April 1995 and the acquisition of Allied in June 1994.

               Following the  Merger, the Company determined  that it would
          be beneficial  to close Company laboratory  facilities in certain
          geographic  regions where  duplicate  Company and  RBL facilities
          existed at  the time  of the Merger.   In  addition, the  Company
          decided  to downsize certain finance and administrative positions
          in  La  Jolla,  California  in  order  to  eliminate  duplicative
          functions.  Under the  restructuring plan, the Company originally
          estimated it would take a $76.0 charge to cover the  costs of the
          restructuring  plan.   In  refining the  plan, the  Company later
          estimated that  the charge required was $65.0.  See note 4 of the
          Notes  to Unaudited  Consolidated Condensed  Financial Statements
          which sets  forth the Company s restructuring  activities for the
          six months ended June 30, 1995.

          Six Months Ended  June 30,  1995 compared with  Six Months  Ended
          June 30, 1994.

               In  the second quarter of  1995, the Company  took a pre-tax
          special charge of $10.0 in connection with the estimated costs of
          settling    various   claims   pending   against   the   Company,
          substantially all  of which  are billing  disputes, in  which the
          Company  believes it is  probable that  cash settlements  will be
          made by the Company.  As of June 30, 1995,  approximately $4.0 in
          settlements and expenses have been paid related to these claims.

               Interest expense was $31.1 for the six months ended June 30,
          1995 compared with $10.5 for the same period in 1994.  The change
          resulted from increased borrowings  used primarily to finance the
          Company Cash Contribution, the repayment of existing indebtedness
          of RBL and certain other costs  of the Merger and the acquisition
          of  Allied and also  due to a higher  effective borrowing rate in
          the first four months of 1995.

               In connection  with the repayment of  the Company s existing
          revolving  credit and  term loan  facilities at  the time  of the
          Merger, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss from the early
          extinguishment of debt  of approximately $13.5 ($8.3 net  of tax)
          consisting of the write-off of deferred financing costs.

               As a  result of the restructuring  charges and extraordinary
          loss, the provision  for income taxes  as percentage of  earnings
          before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995 is not
          comparable to prior periods.

          Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 compared with Three Months Ended
          June 30, 1994.

               Net  sales for  the three  months ended  June 30,  1995 were
          $367.3,  an  increase  of  80.1%  from  $203.9  reported  in  the
          comparable  1994 period.   Net  sales from  the inclusion  of RBL
          increased  net sales by approximately $130.1 or 63.8%.  Also, net
          sales from  the  inclusion  of  Allied  increased  net  sales  by
          approximately  $22.9  or 11.2%.    Growth  in  new  accounts  and
          acquisitions of small clinical laboratory companies increased net
          sales by  approximately  9.0% and  4.0%, respectively.   A  price
          increase, effective on  January 1, 1995,  increased net sales  by
          approximately 2.8%  for the  three months  ended  June 30,  1995.
          However, a reduction in Medicare fee schedules from 84% to 80% of
          the national limitation amounts on January  1, 1995, plus changes
          in reimbursement policies of  various third party payors, reduced
          net  sales by approximately 1.4%.  Other factors, including lower
          utilization  of  laboratory  testing  and price  erosion  in  the
          industry as  a whole,  comprised the  remaining reduction  in net
          sales.

               Cost  of  sales,  which includes  primarily  laboratory  and
          distribution costs, increased to $258.4  for the six months ended
          June 30, 1995  from $136.5 in the corresponding 1994  period.  Of
          the $121.9 increase, approximately $93.2 was due to the inclusion
          of the  cost of sales of  RBL and approximately $18.1  was due to
          the inclusion of the cost of sales of Allied. Approximately $12.2
          of  the  increase was  the result  of  higher testing  volume and
          approximately  $2.6  was  due  to  an  increase  in  compensation
          expense. These  increases were  partially offset by  decreases in
          supplies, insurance  and fringe benefits,  as well as  other cost
          categories, in  connection  with  the  Company s  on-going  cost-
          reduction  program.  Cost of sales as  a percent of net sales was
          70.4% for the  three months ended June 30, 1995  and 66.9% in the
          corresponding 1994 period.   The  increase in the  cost of  sales
          percentage  primarily resulted  from inclusion  of RBL s  cost of
          sales in 1995 and a reduction in net sales due to  a reduction in
          Medicare   fee  schedules,  pricing   pressures  and  utilization
          declines, each of  which provided little  corresponding reduction
          in costs.

               Selling,  general and  administrative expenses  increased to
          $57.4 for the three months ended  June 30, 1995 from $33.5 in the
          same  period in 1994. Approximately $19.6 of the increase was due
          to  the  inclusion of  the  selling,  general and  administrative
          expenses  of RBL and approximately  $3.1 due to  the inclusion of
          the selling, general and administrative  expenses of Allied.  The

          increase was primarily  due to expansion  of data processing  and
          billing  departments  due  to  increased volume  and  to  improve
          customer service.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
          and administrative  expenses was  15.6% and  16.4% for the  three
          months ended June  30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively. The decrease
          in the selling,  general and administrative  percentage primarily
          resulted from the Company s on-going cost-reduction program.

               Management  expects net  sales to  continue to  grow through
          strategic acquisitions and the addition of new accounts, although
          there can be no  assurance that the Company will  experience such

          expenses as a percentage  of net sales in the  future. Management
          cannot  predict if  price  erosion or  utilization declines  will

          programs at each of the Company's regional laboratories, although
          there can be no assurance of the success of such programs.

               The increase in amortization of intangibles and other assets
          to $6.7 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from $3.4 in the
          corresponding period  in 1994 primarily resulted  from the Merger
          in April 1995 and Allied in June 1994.

               Following the  Merger, the Company determined  that it would
          be beneficial  to close Company laboratory  facilities in certain
          geographic  regions where  duplicate Company  and RBL  facilities
          existed at  the time  of the  Merger.  In  addition, the  Company
          decided to downsize certain finance  and administrative positions
          in  La  Jolla,  California  in  order  to  eliminate  duplicative
          functions.  Under the  restructuring plan, the Company originally
          estimated it would take a $76.0  charge to cover the costs of the
          restructuring  plan.   In refining  the  plan, the  Company later
          estimated that the charge required was $65.0.  See note  4 of the
          Notes  to Unaudited  Consolidated Condensed  Financial Statements
          which sets  forth the Company s restructuring  activities for the
          six months ended June 30, 1995.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
          ---------------------

          Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 compared with Three Months Ended
          June 30, 1994

               In  the second quarter of  1995, the Company  took a pre-tax
          special charge of $10.0 in connection with the estimated costs of
          settling   various   claims    pending   against   the   Company,
          substantially  all of which  are billing  disputes, in  which the
          Company  believes it  is probable that  cash settlements  will be
          made by the Company.  As  of June 30, 1995, approximately $4.0 in
          settlements and expenses have been paid related to these claims. 
            

               Interest expense was  $17.4 for the three months  ended June
          30, 1995  compared with  $6.0 for  the same  period in 1994.  The
          change  resulted  from  increased  borrowings used  primarily  to
          finance the Company Cash  Contribution, the repayment of existing
          indebtedness of RBL and certain other costs of the Merger and the
          acquisition of Allied.  

               In connection  with the repayment of  the Company s existing
          revolving  credit and  term loan  facilities at  the time  of the
          Merger, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss from the early
          extinguishment  of debt of approximately  $13.5 ($8.3 net of tax)
          consisting of the write-off of deferred financing costs.

               As a  result of the restructuring  charges and extraordinary
          loss, the  provision for income  taxes as percentage  of earnings
          before income  taxes for the three months  ended June 30, 1995 is
          not comparable to prior periods.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          ----------------------------------------------------

               For the  six months ended June  30, 1995 and  1994, net cash
          provided  by (used  in)  operating activities  (after payment  of
          settlement  and related expenses of  $27.3 and $13.4  in 1995 and
          1994, respectively)  was $0.2 and ($4.9),  respectively.  Capital
          expenditures were $27.1 and  $24.7 for the six months  ended June
          30,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.   The Company  expects capital
          expenditures to be approximately $100.0 in 1995 to integrate  the
          Company,  RBL  and Allied,  to  accommodate  expected growth,  to
          further automate laboratory processes and improve efficiency.  

               The Company acquired four small laboratory companies  during
          the  six months  ended June 30,  1995 for an  aggregate amount of
          $3.2 in cash and  the recognition of $1.9 of liabilities.  During
          the  corresponding period  in  1994, the  Company acquired  seven
          small laboratory companies for a  total of $36.5 in cash and  the
          recognition of $2.7 of liabilities.

               On April  28, 1995,  the Company  completed its  merger with
          Roche  Biomedical  Laboratories,  Inc.  ("RBL")  pursuant  to  an
          Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of
          December 13, 1994 (the  "Merger").  The Merger was  accounted for
          under the purchase method of accounting.

               Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement, each outstanding share of
          common stock, par value  $0.01 per share of the  Company ("Common
          Stock")  (other than  as provided  in the Merger  Agreement), was
          converted  (the "Share Conversion") into  (i) 0.72 of  a share of
          Common Stock  of the Company  and (ii) $5.60  in cash per  share,
          without  interest.   The  aggregate number  of shares  issued and
          outstanding following the Share Conversion was 61,041,135.  Also,
          an aggregate of  538,307 shares  of Common Stock  were issued  in
          connection  with  the  cancellation  of  certain  employee  stock
          options.

               In addition, pursuant to  the Merger Agreement, an aggregate
          of  61,329,256 shares of Common Stock were issued to HLR Holdings
          Inc. ("HLR") and its  designee, Roche Holdings, Inc.  in exchange
          for  all shares of common stock, no par value, of RBL outstanding
          immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger (other than
          treasury  shares, which  were canceled)  and a  cash contribution
          described below.   The issuance  of such shares  of Common  Stock
          constituted approximately  49.9% of the  total outstanding shares
          of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Merger.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued
          ----------------------------------------------------

               The  Company  also  made  a  distribution  (the "Warrant 
          Distribution") to holders of record as of April 21, 1995, of
          0.16308  of a warrant per outstanding share of Common Stock, each
          such  warrant representing the right to purchase one newly issued
          share of Common Stock for $22.00 (subject to adjustment) on April
          28,  2000  (each  such  warrant,  a  "Warrant").    Approximately
          13,826,308 Warrants have been  issued to stockholders entitled to
          receive   Warrants  in   the  Warrant   Distribution,  (including
          fractional  Warrants,   which  were  not  distributed,  but  were
          liquidated  in sales  on  the New  York  Stock Exchange  and  the
          proceeds thereof distributed to such stockholders).  In addition,
          pursuant  to the Merger Agreement  on April 28,  1995 the Company
          issued  to Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. ("Roche"), for a purchase price
          of approximately $51.0, 8,325,000 Warrants (the  Roche Warrants )
          to  purchase shares of Common Stock, which Warrants will have the
          terms described above.

               The  aggregate cash  consideration  of approximately  $474.8
          paid  to stockholders of the  Company in the  Merger was financed
          from  three  sources:   a  cash contribution  (the  "Company Cash
          Contribution")  of approximately  $288.1 out  of the  proceeds of
          borrowings under the  Bank Facility (as described below),  a cash
          contribution  made by  HLR  to  the  Company  in  the  amount  of
          approximately $135.7 and the proceeds  from the sale and issuance
          of the Roche Warrants.

               The Company also entered into a credit agreement dated as of
          April 28,  1995 (the  "Credit Agreement"),  with the  banks named
          therein (the "Banks")  and Credit  Suisse (New  York Branch),  as
          administrative agent (the "Bank  Agent"), which made available to
          the Company a senior term loan facility of $800.0 (the "Term Loan
          Facility")  and  a  revolving  credit  facility  of  $450.0  (the
          "Revolving  Credit Facility"  and,  together with  the Term  Loan
          Facility, the "Bank Facility").  The Bank Facility provided funds
          for the Company Cash Contribution for the refinancing of  certain
          existing  debt of the Company  and its subsidiaries  and RBL, for
          related fees and expenses of the Merger and for general corporate
          purposes  of  the  Company and  its  subsidiaries,  in each  case
          subject  to  the terms  and conditions  set  forth in  the Credit
          Agreement.

               In connection  with the  Credit Agreement, the  Company paid
          the  Banks and  Bank  Agent customary  underwriting, closing  and
          participation fees, respectively.   In addition, the Company will
          pay a facility fee  based on the total Revolving  Credit Facility
          commitment   (regardless   of  usage)   of   0.125%   per  annum.
          Availability of funds  under the Bank Facility is  conditioned on
          certain  customary conditions, and  the Credit Agreement contains
          customary  representations, warranties,  covenants and  events of
          default.

               The  Revolving Credit Facility  matures in April  2000.  The
          Term Loan  Facility matures in December 2001,  with repayments in
          each quarter  prior to maturity based on a specified amortization
          schedule.  For  as long as  HLR and  its affiliates ownership  of
          Company common stock (the  HLR Group  Interest ) remains at least
          25%, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at  the option
          of the Company, at (i)  Credit Suisse s Base Rate (as  defined in
          the  Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in
          the Credit  Agreement) plus a margin  of 0.25% and the  Term Loan
          Facility bears interest,  at the  option of the  Company, at  (i)
          Credit Suisse s Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or
          (ii)  the Eurodollar  Rate (as  defined in the  Credit Agreement)
          plus a margin  of 0.375%.  In  the event there is  a reduction in
          the HLR Group Interest to below  25%, applicable interest margins
          will not be  determined as set forth  above, but instead will  be
          determined  based  upon the  Company s  financial  performance as
          described in the Credit Agreement.

               The   Bank  Facility  is   unconditionally  and  irrevocably
          guaranteed by certain of the Company s subsidiaries.

               On April  28, 1995,  the Company  borrowed $800.0  under the
          Term Loan Facility and $184.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility
          (i) to pay the Company Cash  Contribution; (ii) to repay in  full
          the existing  revolving  credit and  term  loan facilities  of  a
          wholly-owned subsidiary  of the  Company of  approximately $640.0
          including interest  and fees; (iii) to  repay approximately $50.0
          of existing indebtedness of RBL;  and (iv) for other  transaction
          costs  in connection  with  the Merger  and  for use  as  working
          capital  and general  corporate purposes  of the Company  and its
          subsidiaries.

               Following the  Merger, the Company determined  that it would
          be beneficial  to close Company laboratory  facilities in certain
          geographic  regions where  duplicate Company  and RBL  facilities
          existed at  the time  of the  Merger.  In  addition, the  Company
          decided to downsize certain finance  and administrative positions
          in  La  Jolla,  California  in  order  to  eliminate  duplicative
          functions.  Under the  restructuring plan, the Company originally
          estimated it would take a $76.0  charge to cover the costs of the
          restructuring  plan.   In refining  the plan,  the Company  later
          estimated that the charge required was $65.0.  See note  4 of the
          Notes  to Unaudited  Consolidated Condensed  Financial Statements
          which sets  forth the Company s restructuring  activities for the
          six  months ended June 30, 1995.   Future cash payments under the
          restructuring  plan are expected to be $20.5 over the next twelve
          months and $18.0 thereafter.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued
          ----------------------------------------------------

               In  the second quarter of  1995, the Company  took a pre-tax
          special charge of $10.0 in connection with the estimated costs of
          settling   various   claims    pending   against   the   Company,
          substantially all  of which  are billing  disputes, in  which the
          Company  believes it is probable  that a cash  settlement will be
          made by the Company.  As  of June 30, 1995, approximately $4.0 in
          settlements  and expenses have been paid related to these claims.


               As  a result  of  the Merger,  the  Company is  expected  to
          achieve  substantial  savings  in  operating  costs  through  the
          consolidation  of  certain  operations  and  the  elimination  of
          redundant expenses.   Such  savings are  expected to  be realized
          over time as the consolidation process is completed.  The Company
          expects to realize approximate  annualized net savings of between
          $90.0 to $100.0  within three  years following the  Merger.   The
          synergies  expected to be realized by the Company will be derived
          from   several   sources,   including  corporate,   general   and
          administrative   expenses,   including   the   consolidation   of
          administrative  staff.   Other  reductions in  sales staff  where
          duplicate territories exists,  operational savings, including the
          closing  of overlapping  laboratories and  other facilities,  and
          savings  to be realized from  the additional buying  power of the
          larger Company, are expected to generate significant savings.  It
          is also  expected  that savings  will  be realized  from  certain
          changes  in  employee  benefits.   These  estimated  savings  are
          anticipated to be partially offset by a loss of existing business
          during the  conversion process.   Realization of  improvements in
          profitability is dependent, in  part, on the extent to  which the
          revenues  of the  combined companies  are maintained and  will be
          influenced by many factors, including factors outside the control
          of the  Company.  There  can be  no assurance that  the estimated
          cost  savings described above will  be realized or  achieved in a
          timely manner or that improvements, if any, in profitability will
          be achieved  or that such savings will not be offset be increases
          in other expenses.

               The Company expects that its cash needs for working capital,
          capital  expenditures and the cash costs of the restructuring and
          operations of  the Company after  the Merger will  be met by  its
          cash  flow from  operations  and borrowings  under the  Revolving
          Credit Facility.

          Item 2.   Changes in Securities

                    (a)  In  connection with the  Merger, the Company, HLR,
                         Roche  and  Roche   Holdings,  Inc.   ("Holdings")
                         entered into  a stockholder agreement  dated as of
                         April 28, 1995 (the "Stockholder Agreement") which
                         sets forth, among other things, certain agreements
                         and understandings regarding the governance of the
                         Company  following the  Merger, including  but not
                         limited  to  the  composition  of  the   Board  of
                         Directors.  The Stockholder Agreement was filed as
                         an  exhibit to  the Company's  report on  Form 8-K
                         which was filed on May 12, 1995 in connection with
                         the  merger   and   is  incorporated   herein   by
                         reference.

                         In connection with the  Merger, the Company made a
                         distribution to stockholders  of record of  shares
                         of Common Stock as of April 21, 1995 consisting of
                         0.16308  of a  warrant  per  outstanding share  of
                         Common  Stock, each such warrant representing the 
                         right to purchase one newly issued share of Common
                         Stock for $22.00 (subject to  adjustment) pursuant
                         to a  warrant  agreement between  the Company  and
                         American  Stock  Transfer  &  Trust  Company  (the
                         "Warrant Agreement")  dated as of  April 10,  1995
                         which sets forth the  terms of the warrants.   The
                         Warrant Agreement  was filed as an  exhibit to the
                         Company's report on Form  8-K dated April 28, 1995
                         which was filed on May 12, 1995 in connection with
                         the   Merger  and   is   incorporated  herein   by
