                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
  Pathology Laboratories, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Forensic Drug
Testing Division (the "Division") of Pathology Laboratories, Ltd. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
divisional operations and divisional cash flows for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Forensic Drug Testing Division of
Pathology Laboratories, Ltd., as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As more fully disclosed in Note 1a, the accompanying financial statements have
been prepared from the separate records of the Forensic Drug Testing Division of
Pathology Laboratories, Ltd. and may not necessarily be indicative of the
conditions that would have existed or the results of operations that would have
occurred had the Division been operated as an unaffiliated company.

                   NOTES TO DIVISIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

1.   SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS -- Pathology Laboratories, Ltd. ("the Company")
     was incorporated on September 26, 1972 for the purpose of establishing and
     maintaining medical and industrial testing laboratories and presently
     provides clinical and pathological laboratory testing services in the
     Southeastern United States. The Company conducts the majority of its
     business under the name of Puckett Laboratory, which was originally founded
     in 1955.

     Effective January 31, 1997, the Company sold the customer base and certain
     assets of its Forensic Drug Testing Division to Laboratory Specialists of
     America, Inc. ("LSAI") for cash and notes approximating $3,200,000.

     A.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES -- The accompanying
          statements of net assets and the related statements of divisional
          operations and divisional cash flows have been prepared using the
          December 31, 1996 and 1995 account balances and the related revenues
          and expenses for the years then ended which relate to the Forensic
          Drug Testing Division of the Company.

          The results of operations include all operating activities directly
          related to the Forensic Drug Testing Division and indirect cost
          allocations of all transportation, general and administrative, and
          interest expense. These indirect expenses were allocated pro-rata to
          the divisional results of operations based upon the ratio of revenues
          of the Forensic Drug Testing Division to total revenues of all of the
          Company's various revenue producing divisions.

          The results of operations reported herein are not necessarily
          indicative of results that would have been obtained had the division
          operated as an independent entity for the years presented.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

     B.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The Company utilizes a common cash
          account for all operating divisions.  Accordingly, these divisional
          financial statements do no present any cash or cash equivalents for
          any period presented.

     C.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Sales and accounts
          receivable are recorded upon completion of rendered services or the
          related procedures based upon the estimated amounts realizable from
          third party payors.

          The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect
          amounts deemed uncollectible.

     D.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -- Property and equipment are stated at cost.
          Major additions and betterments are capitalized while replacements,
          maintenance and repairs which do not improve or

                                      F-6
<PAGE>
 
          extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. Depreciation
          of property and equipment is provided using both straight-line and
          accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related
          assets which range from five to ten years.

     E.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- Intangible assets consist of non-compete
          agreements and the excess of cost over net assets of businesses
          acquired related to the Forensic Drug Testing Division resulting
          principally from business acquisitions consummated in 1994 and 1993.
          The costs are being amortized by the straight-line basis over periods
          ranging from five to fifteen years.

     F.   INCOME TAXES -- The benefit for income taxes is allocated to the
          divisional financial statements based upon the Company's effective
          rate of 37.3%. This benefit and any applicable deferred tax
          liabilities and assets are included in the net assets of the division.

     G.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS -- The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan
          which covers substantially all full-time employees. Matching
          contributions by the Company to the plan are based upon the Board of
          Director discretion. Allocated contributions based upon the personnel
          involved with the Forensic Drug Testing Division approximated $400 in
          1996 and 1995.

2.   BUSINESS DISPOSITION

     Effective January 31, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
     its forensic drug testing customer base and certain related operating
     assets of LSAI for cash and a note estimated to approximate $3,200,000. In
     connection therewith, LSAI assumed the obligations under a lease agreement.

     The aggregate principal amount of the notes (estimated to approximate
     $1,600,000) is subject to adjustment in the event revenues from forensic
     drug testing within the first year after closing are greater or lesser than
     a predefined level as specified in the agreement.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY

     The Company's Forensic Drug Testing Division leases various laboratory
     facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease
     agreements. Rent expense relative to these and other cancelable lease
     arrangements approximated $110,000 in 1996 and $133,000 in 1995. Future

            LABORATORY SPECIALISTS OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS FOR PRESENTATION:

     The pro forma balance sheet and statement of income present the pro forma
     effects of the acquisition on January 31, 1997, of certain intangible
     assets of Pathology Laboratories, Ltd. ("PLL"), constituting the Forensic
     Drug Testing Division of PLL, by Laboratory Specialists of America, Inc.
     (the "Company") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
     Agreement"). PLL is a privately held corporation. The assets purchased
     included the forensic drug testing customer list of PLL and all contracts,
     contract rights and agreements, correspondence with the customers for which
     PLL has provided forensic drug testing services, and all assets owned by
     PLL used in connection with the PLL office in Greenville, South Carolina
     (the "PLL Asset Purchase"). The PLL Asset Purchase was accounted for using
     the purchase method of accounting.

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) the Company paid $1,600,000 at
     closing and (ii) the Company assumed the obligations of PLL under a certain
     lease,  dated September 16, 1996, which requires monthly base rental
     payments of $2,083 and which expires on September 16, 1999.  Furthermore,
     the Company is required to make four additional installment payments to PLL
     within 60 days following the end of each three month period during the 12
     months ending January 31, 1998.  These quarterly payments are based on
     gross revenues directly attributable to each customer comprising in part
     the customer base of PLL for the year ending January 31, 1998, exceeding
     $1,600,000.  The gross revenues attributable to this customer base for the
     year ended December 31, 1996, were approximately $3,200,000.  The initial
     purchase price of $1,600,000 was financed with additional long-term bank
     indebtedness.  The Company consolidated the drug testing services with its
     current laboratory in March 1997.

     In connection with the PLL Asset Purchase, substantially all of the
     purchase price of the assets acquired was recorded as a customer list, an
     intangible asset, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
     years, the estimated period that the Company believes it will be benefitted
     by the assets acquired pursuant to the PLL Asset Purchase.  The carrying
     value and recoverability of the customer list will be periodically reviewed
     by management of the Company.  If the facts and circumstances suggest that
     the customer list may be impaired, the carrying value of the customer list
     will be adjusted which will result in an immediate charge against income
     during the period of adjustment and/or the length of the remaining
     amortization period may be shortened which will result in an increase in
     the amount of amortization during the period of adjustment and each period
     thereafter until fully amortized.  Once adjusted, there can be no assurance
     that there will not be further adjustments for impairment and
     recoverability in future periods of such intangible assets.  Of the various
     factors to be considered by management of the Company in determining
     impairment of the customer list, the most significant will be (i) the loss
     of all or a portion of the PLL customer base acquired, (ii) losses from
     operations, (iii) developments within the drug and clinical testing
     industry, including the Company's inability to maintain PLL market share,
     development of forensic testing technologies, imposition of additional
     regulatory and certification requirements, and (iv) loss or suspension for
     an extended period of laboratory certification.  In the event management of
     the Company determines that the customer list has become impaired, the
     adjustments for impairment and recoverability may occur during a period of
     operations in which the Company has sustained losses or has only marginal
     profitability from operations, and the impairment and/or increased
     amortization amount will either increase such losses from operations or
     reduce profitability.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented
     assuming the PLL Asset Purchase occurred or was consummated as of December
     31, 1996, the date of the balance sheet, or on January 1, 1996, the first
     day of the year ended December 31, 1996, the period presented. The
     historical information presented for the Company as of and for the year
     ended December 31, 1996, is derived from the audited financial statements
     of the Company as of such date and for such period. The historical
     information

                                      F-12
<PAGE>
 
     presented for PLL as of and for the period ended December 31, 1996, is
     derived from the audited statements of net assets of the Forensic Drug
     Testing Division of PLL as of such date.

     The pro forma financial information presented in these unaudited pro forma
     financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the financial
     position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the
     operations been those of a single consolidated corporate entity.  The
     results of operations presented in the unaudited pro forma statement of
     operations are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of
     future operations of the Company following consummation of the PLL Asset
     Purchase.

2.  ADJUSTMENTS:

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have
     been adjusted to record and give effect to the PLL Asset Purchase as
     follows:

     (a) The elimination of assets and liabilities of the Forensic Drug Testing
         Division of PLL that were not acquired or assumed by the Company in
         connection with the PLL Asset Purchase;

     (b) The purchase of the assets of PLL and reflect the $2,600,000 increase
         in customer list, assuming a 20 percent reduction in revenues of the
         Forensic Drug Testing Division due to the transition and consolidation
         of the Forensic Drug Testing Division with and into the Company and the
         purchase price adjustment of the acquired PLL assets;

     (c) The $900,000 of accrued customer list costs representing the current
         liability for future purchase price payments based upon gross revenues
         of the Forensic Drug Testing Division of PLL assuming a 20 percent
         reduction in revenues of the Forensic Drug Testing Division due to the
         transition and consolidation of the Forensic Drug Testing Division with
         and into the Company and the purchase price adjustment of the acquired
         PLL assets;

3.   CUSTOMER LIST:

     The customer list acquired in connection with the PLL Asset Purchase will
     be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The Company
     continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that
     indicate the remaining estimated useful life of the customer list may
     warrant revision or that the remaining unamortized balance of the customer
     list may not be recoverable. When factors, such as operating losses, loss
     of customers, loss or suspension for an extended period of laboratory
     certification, or changes in the forensic drug testing industry, if
     present, indicate that goodwill or the customer list should be evaluated
     for possible impairment, the Company will use an estimate of the related
     undiscounted net income over the remaining life of the customer list in
     measuring whether the customer list is recoverable. Although management
     believes that the customer list will be recoverable over the amortization
     period, it is possible, due to a change in circumstances, that the carrying
     value of the customer list could become impaired in the future. Such
     impairment could have a material effect on the results of operations in a
     particular reporting period.

4.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:

     Pro forma income per common share has been computed based upon the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding during the year ended December
     31, 1996.
