The exhibit list for this Form 10-K begins on page 20 PAGE 1 of 79 PART I ------ ITEM 1. BUSINESS General - ------- LabOne, Inc., a Missouri corporation, provides laboratory testing, investigative services and paramedical examinations for the insurance industry, clinical laboratory testing services for the healthcare industry and substance abuse testing services for employers. LabOne, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lab One Canada Inc., Systematic Business Services, Inc. (SBSI) and ExamOne World Wide, Inc., hereinafter collectively referred to as either LabOne or the Company, is the largest provider of life insurance laboratory testing services in the United States and Canada. LabOne provides risk-appraisal laboratory services to the insurance industry. The laboratory tests performed by the Company are specifically designed to assist an insurance company in objectively evaluating the mortality and morbidity risks posed by policy applicants. The majority of the testing is performed on specimens of individual life insurance policy applicants. The Company also provides testing services on specimens of individuals applying for individual and group medical and disability policies. Through its subsidiary, SBSI acquired in 1998, the Company provides telephone inspections, motor vehicle reports, attending physician statements, and claims investigation services. Effective November 5, 1999, LabOne acquired World Wide Health Services, Inc. and World Wide Health Services of New Jersey, a provider of specimen collection and paramedical examination services to life and health insurers. These subsidiaries are operated under the name ExamOne World Wide and are included in the insurance services division of LabOne. This addition allows LabOne to expand the services it offers to its insurance industry clients. LabOne's clinical testing services are provided to the healthcare industry as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. LabOne operates only one highly automated and centralized laboratory, which the Company believes has significant economic advantages over other conventional laboratory competitors. LabOne markets its clinical testing services to the payers of healthcare (insurance companies and self-insured groups). The Company does this through exclusive arrangements with managed care organizations and through Lab Card(R) a Laboratory Benefits Management program. LabOne is certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to perform substance abuse testing services for federally regulated employers and is currently marketing these services throughout the country to both regulated and nonregulated employers. The Company's rapid turnaround times and multiple testing options help clients reduce downtime for affected employees and meet mandated drug screening guidelines. On August 10, 1999, the former LabOne, Inc. was merged into its parent corporation, Lab Holdings, Inc. upon the approval of the shareholders of both companies at their respective annual meetings. The combined company's name was then changed to LabOne, Inc. PAGE 2 Forward Looking Statements - -------------------------- This Annual report on Form 10-K may contain "forward-looking statements," including, but not limited to: projections of revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, the payment or non-payment of dividends and other financial items, statements of plans and objectives, statements of future economic performance and statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those that may be expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the volume and pricing of laboratory tests performed by the Company, competition, the extent of market acceptance of the Company's testing services in the healthcare and substance abuse testing industries, intense competition, the loss of one or more significant customers, general economic conditions and other factors detailed from time to time in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Cautionary Statement filed herewith as Exhibit 99. Services Provided by the Company - -------------------------------- Insurance Services: Insurance companies require an objective means of evaluating the insurance risk posed by policy applicants in order to establish the appropriate level of premium payments, or to determine whether to issue a policy. Because decisions of this type are based on statistical probabilities of mortality and morbidity, insurance companies generally require quantitative data reflecting the applicant's general health. Standardized laboratory testing, tailored to the needs of the insurance industry and reported in a uniform format, provides insurance companies with an efficient means of evaluating the mortality and morbidity risks posed by policy applicants. The use of standardized blood, urine and oral fluid testing has proven a cost-effective alternative to individualized physician examinations, which utilize varying testing procedures and reports. LabOne's insurance testing services consist of certain specimen profiles that provide insurance companies with specific information that may indicate liver or kidney disorders, diabetes, the risk of cardiovascular disease, bacterial or viral infections and other health risks. The Company also offers tests to detect the presence of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Insurance companies generally offer a premium discount for nonsmokers and often rely on testing to determine whether an applicant is a user of tobacco products. Standardized laboratory testing can be used to verify responses on a policy application to such questions as whether the applicant is a user of tobacco products, certain controlled substances or certain prescription drugs. Cocaine use has been associated with increased risk of accidental death and cardiovascular disorders, and as a result of increasing cocaine abuse in the United States and Canada, insurance companies are testing a greater number of policy applicants to detect its presence. Therapeutic drug testing also detects the presence of certain prescription drugs that are being used by an applicant to treat a life-threatening medical condition that may not be revealed by a physical examination. Insurance specimens are normally collected from individual insurance applicants by contracted paramedical personnel using LabOne's custom-designed collection kits and containers. These kits and containers are delivered to PAGE 3 LabOne's laboratory via overnight delivery services or mail, coded for identification and processed according to each client's specifications. Results are generally transmitted to the insurance company's underwriting department that same evening. LabOne provides a one-day service guarantee on oral fluid and urine HIV specimen results. In association with Lincoln National Risk Management, the Company provides electronic data collection services and software to enable insurance companies to receive data directly into their underwriting systems. LabOne offers LabOne NET, a combination network/software product that provides a connection for insurance underwriters for ordering and delivery of risk assessment information such as laboratory results, telephone inspections, motor vehicle reports and other applicant information. LabOne handles paramedical examination paperwork and assists with administration of data for insurance underwriting. Additionally, the Company can obtain attending physician statements, telephone inspections, motor vehicle reports, and perform claims investigation through its subsidiary, SBSI. In November 1999, LabOne's acquisition of ExamOne World Wide provided its entry into paramedical examinations for the life insurance industry. This enables LabOne to offer a wide range of services in the insurance services industry, complementing the laboratory testing and investigative services with paramedical examinations. LabOne believes it will be successful in extending its relationship with life insurance companies by providing these additional services, which should strengthen its position in laboratory testing and improve its market share in the paramedical industry. Healthcare Services: Healthcare laboratory tests are generally requested by physicians and other healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor diseases and other medical conditions through the detection of substances in blood and other specimens. Laboratory testing is generally categorized as either clinical testing, which is performed on bodily fluids including blood and urine, or anatomical pathology testing, which is performed on tissue. Clinical and anatomical pathology tests are frequently performed as part of regular physical examinations and hospital admissions in connection with the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. The most frequently requested tests include blood chemistry analyses, blood cholesterol level tests, urinalyses, blood cell counts, PAP smears and AIDS-related tests. Healthcare specimens are collected at the physician's office or other specified sites. The Company's couriers pick up the specimens and deliver them to local airports for express transport to the Kansas laboratory. Specimens are coded for identification and processed. The Company's testing menu includes the majority of tests requested by its clients. Tests not performed in-house are sent to reference laboratories for testing, and results are transmitted into the Company's computer system along with all other completed results. The Company has established the Lab Card (R) Program as a vehicle for delivering outpatient laboratory services. The Lab Card Program is marketed to healthcare payers (self-insured groups and insurance companies), allowing them to avoid price mark-ups and cost shifting. The Lab Card Program provides laboratory testing at reduced rates as compared to traditional laboratories. It uses a unique benefit design that shares the cost savings with the patient, creating an incentive for the patient to help direct laboratory work to LabOne. Under the Program, the patient incurs no out-of-pocket expense when PAGE 4 the Lab Card is used, and the insurance company or self-insured group receives substantial savings on its laboratory charges. LabOne has several exclusive arrangements with managed care organizations, including Principal Healthcare of Kansas City, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, BlueCross BlueShield of Kansas City and Kaiser Permanente of Kansas City. With these arrangements the Company contracts with the managed care organizations, and they direct all testing for their members through LabOne. Substance Abuse Testing Services: LabOne markets substance abuse testing to large employers, third party administrators and occupational health providers. Certification by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration enables the Company to offer substance abuse testing services to federally regulated industries. Specimens for substance abuse testing are typically collected by independent agencies who use LabOne's forms and collection supplies. Specimens are sealed with bar-coded, tamper-evident seals and shipped overnight to the Company. Automated systems monitor the specimens throughout the screening and confirmation process. Negative results are available immediately after testing is completed. Initial positive specimens are verified by the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method, and results are generally available within 24 hours. Results can be transmitted electronically to the client's secured computer, printer or fax machine, or the client can use LabOne's LabLink Dial-In software to retrieve, store, search and print its drug testing results. During February 2000, LabOne announced the introduction of the Intercept (TM) drug testing service, a laboratory-based service that identifies commonly-used illicit drugs in oral fluid samples. The Intercept (TM) test menu is used to detect the NIDA-5 drug panel (THC, cocaine, opiates, PCP and amphetamines). It is the first laboratory-based oral fluid drug testing system to be made commercially available in North America. Under terms of the collaborative agreement between LabOne, STC Technologies, Inc. and Epitope, Inc., all three companies will play pivotal roles in the marketing of the new lab service. STC, the leader in oral fluid immunoassay technology, will provide reagents as well as marketing support. Epitope produces the Intercept (TM) collection device and provides sales support for the criminal justice market. Laboratory testing, result reporting, worksite sales and account management support will be provided by LabOne. (See TRENDS Section for further discussion.) PAGE 5 Segment Information - ------------------- The following table summarizes the Company's revenues from services provided to the insurance, healthcare and substance abuse testing markets (dollars in thousands): Year ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997 -------------- -------------- -------------- Insurance $ 77,687 65% $ 69,149 68% $ 61,998 79% Clinical 24,793 21% 18,600 18% 7,512 9% Substance Abuse 17,187 14% 14,478 14% 9,416 12% ------- ------ ------ $ 119,667 $ 102,227 $ 78,926 ======= ====== ====== (See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for operating income and identifiable assets by segment.) Operations - ---------- The Company's operations are designed to facilitate the testing of a large number of specimens and to report the results to clients, generally within 24 hours of receipt of the specimens. The Company has internally developed, custom-designed laboratory and business processing systems. It is a centralized network system that provides an automated link between LabOne's testing equipment, data processing equipment and clients' computer systems. This system offers LabOne's clients the ability to customize their testing and reflex requirements by several parameters to best meet their needs. As a result of the number of tests it has performed over the past several years, LabOne has compiled and maintains a large statistical data base of test results. These summary statistics are useful to the actuarial and underwriting departments of an insurance client in comparing that client's test results to the results obtained by the Company's entire client base. Company-specific and industry-wide reports are frequently distributed to clients on subjects such as coronary risk analysis, cholesterol and drugs of abuse. Additionally, the Company's statistical engineering department is capable of creating customized reports to aid managed care entities or employers in disease management and utilization tracking to help manage healthcare costs. The Company considers the confidentiality of its test results to be of primary importance and has established procedures to ensure that results of tests remain confidential as they are communicated to the client that requested the tests. Substantially all of the reagents and materials used by the Company in conducting its testing are commercially purchased and are readily available from multiple sources. Regulatory Affairs - ------------------ The objective of the regulatory affairs department is to oversee quality programs to ensure that accurate and reliable test results are released to clients. This is accomplished by incorporating both internal and external PAGE 6 quality improvement programs in each area of the laboratory. In addition, quality improvement specialists share the responsibility with all LabOne employees of an ongoing commitment to quality and safety in all laboratory operations. Internal quality and education programs are designed to identify opportunities for improvement in laboratory services and to meet all required safety training and education issues. These programs help ensure the reliability and confidentiality of test results. Procedure manuals in all areas of the laboratory help maintain uniformity and accuracy and meet regulatory guidelines. Tests on control samples with known results are performed frequently to maintain and verify accuracy in the testing process. Complete documentation provides record keeping for employee reference and meets regulatory requirements. All employees are thoroughly trained to meet standards mandated by OSHA in order to maintain a safe work environment. Superblind Testing Service (TM) controls are used to challenge every aspect of service at LabOne from account setup to specimen arrival and through final billing. Approximately 500 sample kits are prepared and submitted anonymously each month. These samples have at least 15 different indicators each representing over 7,500 challenges to the testing, handling and reporting procedures. Specimens requiring special handling are evaluated and verified by control analysis personnel. A computer edit program is used to review and verify clinically abnormal results and all positive HIV antibody and drugs-of- abuse records. As an external quality assurance program, LabOne participates in a number of proficiency programs established by the College of American Pathologists, the American Association of Bioanalysts and the Centers for Disease Control. Even though only a small portion of LabOne's business encompasses fee-for- service Medicare/Medicaid, LabOne has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer and 12 Co-Compliance Officers. Additionally, the Company has developed the LabOne Compliance Plan, based on the Model Compliance Plan recommended by the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure compliance with anti-fraud and abuse laws and rules governing federally- financed reimbursement for lab testing services. LabOne is accredited by the College of American Pathologists and licensed under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. LabOne has additional licenses for substance abuse testing from the state of Kansas and all other states where such licenses are required. LabOne is certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to perform testing to detect drugs of abuse in federal employees and in workers governed by federal regulations. Congress recently enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. As a transmitter of health information in electronic form, the Company will be required to maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the integrity and confidentiality of healthcare information against unauthorized uses or disclosures. The act will also require the Company to convert healthcare information to electronic form that had previously been required under state law to be maintained in paper form. Compliance with these regulations may be required as early as 2002. Sales and Marketing - ------------------- LabOne's client base consists of insurance companies in the United States and Canada and employers primarily in the United States. The Company believes that its ability to provide prompt and accurate results on a cost-effective PAGE 7 basis, and its responsiveness to customer needs have been important factors in servicing existing business. All of the Company's sales representatives for the insurance market have significant business experience in the insurance industry or clinical laboratory-related fields. These representatives call on major clients several times each year, usually meeting with a medical director or vice president of underwriting. An important part of the Company's marketing effort is directed toward providing its existing clients and prospects with information pertaining to the actuarial benefits of, and trends in, laboratory testing. The Company's sales representatives and its senior management also attend and sponsor insurance industry underwriters' and medical directors' meetings. The sales representatives for the healthcare industry are experienced in the healthcare benefit market or clinical laboratory-related fields, and currently work in the geographic areas which they represent. Marketing efforts are directed at insurance carriers, self-insured employers and trusts, third party administrators and other organizations nationwide. Substance abuse marketing efforts are primarily directed at Fortune 1000 companies, occupational health clinics and third party administrators. The Company's strategy is to offer quality service at competitive prices. The sales force focuses on LabOne's ability to offer multiple reporting methods, next-flight-out options, dedicated client service representatives and rapid reporting of results. Competition - ----------- The Company believes that the insurance laboratory testing market in the United States and Canada is approximately a $110 million industry. LabOne currently services more than half the market. LabOne has maintained its market leadership through the development of long term client relationships, its reputation for providing quality products and services at competitive prices, and its battery of tests which are tailored specifically to an insurance company's needs. LabOne has two other main insurance laboratory competitors, Osborn Laboratories, Inc. and Clinical Reference Laboratory. The insurance testing industry continues to be highly competitive. The primary focus of the competition has been on pricing. This continued competition has resulted in a decrease in LabOne's average price per test. It is anticipated that prices may continue to decline in 2000. The Company continues to develop innovative data management services that differentiate its products from competitors. These services enable LabOne's clients to expedite the underwriting process, saving time and reducing underwriting costs. The Company has entered the market for paramedical examinations and specimen collections for insurance companies through its acquired subsidiary, ExamOne World Wide. This market is estimated to be in excess of a $400 million industry annually. Approximately 80% of this market is controlled by three companies, Hooper Holmes, Inc., Examination Management Services, Inc. and American Para Professional Systems. ExamOne World Wide currently serves approximately 7% of this market. The outpatient clinical laboratory testing market is a $20 billion industry which is highly fragmented and very competitive. The Company faces PAGE 8 competition from numerous independent clinical laboratories and hospital- or physician-owned laboratories. Many of the Company's competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater financial resources than LabOne. The Company is working to establish a solid client base through the use of Lab Card and the establishment of exclusive arrangements with large groups and managed care entities to provide laboratory services. LabOne's business plan is to be the premier low-cost provider of high-quality laboratory services to self-insured employers and insurance companies in the healthcare market. The Company feels that its superior quality and centralized, low-cost operating structure enable it to compete effectively in this market. LabOne competes in the substance abuse testing market nationwide. There are presently 66 laboratories that are certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The Company's major competitors are the three major clinical chains, Laboratory Corporation of America, Quest Diagnostics and SmithKline Beecham Clinical Laboratories, which collectively constitute approximately two-thirds of the substance abuse testing market. The Company's focus is fast turnaround with high-quality, low-cost service, with a strategic position of offering the new oral fluid product with exclusivity in the pre- employment market. Foreign Markets - --------------- Lab One Canada Inc. markets insurance testing services to Canadian clients, with laboratory testing performed in the United States. The following table summarizes the revenue, profit and assets applicable to the Company's domestic operations and its subsidiary, Lab One Canada Inc. Year ended December 31, (in millions) 1999 1998 1997 ---- ----- ---- Sales: United States $112.5 $95.7 $72.4 Canada 7.2 6.5 6.6 Operating Profit: United States 7.9 11.1 (5.5) Canada 0.1 0.3 0.6 Identifiable Assets: United States 116.3 95.2 71.3 Canada 2.1 2.8 3.2 Technology Development - ---------------------- The technology development department evaluates new commercially available tests and technologies, or develops new assays, and compares them to competing products in order to select the most accurate laboratory procedures. Additionally, LabOne's scientists present findings to clients to aid them in choosing the best tests available to meet their requirements. Total technology development expenditures are not considered significant to the Company as a whole. PAGE 9 Employees - --------- As of March 1, 2000, the Company had 1,162 employees, including 63 part-time employees, representing an increase of 267 employees from the same time in 1999. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes its relations with employees are good. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company is located in Lenexa, Kansas, approximately 15 miles from Kansas City, Missouri. Its new 268,000 square foot, custom-designed facility consolidates the Company's laboratory, administrative and warehouse functions into one building. The facility is owned by the Company and financed through $20 million in industrial revenue bonds issued by the City of Lenexa, Kansas in September, 1998. The testing laboratory has certain enhancements that improve the efficiency of operations. Conveyor systems transport inbound test kits from the receiving area to the laboratory and remove waste after the opening process. All automated testing equipment requiring purified water is linked directly to a centralized water-purification system. Over 50,000 square feet of raised flooring allows laboratory instruments and PCs to be arranged or moved quickly and easily. The security system includes proximity card readers to control access and a ceiling detector system to prevent foreign substances from being thrown into the laboratory. In addition, three diesel generators and a UPS battery system are on-line in the event of electrical power shortage. These back-up power sources allow specimen testing and data processing to continue until full power is restored, thus assuring LabOne's clients of continuous laboratory operation. SBSI utilizes three facilities in Independence, Missouri under leases expiring in 2001 and 2003. ExamOne World Wide has a five year lease expiring in 2004 for a facility used as office space in Voorhees, New Jersey and leases a regional office location in Tampa, Florida. LabOne leases 10 locations in Northern California and 9 in the Midwest which serve as LabOne Service Centers. These facilities provide specimen collection services for patients and are typically located in medical office buildings. Lab One Canada Inc. leases office space in Ontario Canada, which is used for sales and client services. This lease expires in 2000. Additionally, Lab One Canada Inc. leases space in Quebec Canada for assembly and distribution of specimen collection kits for Canadian insurance testing. This lease expires in 2000. ITEM 3. LITIGATION In the normal course of business, LabOne had certain lawsuits pending at December 31, 1999. The Comptroller of the State of Texas has conducted an audit of LabOne for sales tax compliance and contends that LabOne's insurance laboratory testing services are taxable under the Texas tax code and has issued an audit assessment, including interest and penalties, of approximately $0.6 million. The Company has appealed this assessment arguing that its services do not fit within the definition of insurance services under the Texas code. The assessment is under review by the Texas Comptroller's administrative law judge's office. The Company believes its reserves are adequate to cover any potential resolution in this matter. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and based upon currently available information, none of these lawsuits are expected to PAGE 10 have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Registrant's common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market(R) under the symbol LABS. As of March 1, 1999, the outstanding shares were held by approximately 3,750 shareholders of record. The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.20 per common share in 1998 and the first two quarters of 1999. The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.18 per common share in the third and fourth quarter of 1999. The Board of Directors reviews the dividend policy on a periodic basis and has eliminated the quarterly dividend to retain cash flow to finance the Company's growth plans. Additionally, the Company's expanded line of credit with Commerce Bank, N.A. prohibits the payment of dividends under the terms of the line of credit. The following are the high and low prices of the stock for each quarter of 1999 and 1998 (split adjusted): 1999 1998 ---- ---- High Low High Low ---- --- ---- --- 1st Quarter $12.75 10.08 $16.33 14.42 2nd Quarter 11.33 7.88 16.17 13.58 3rd Quarter 11.00 8.25 15.67 10.17 4th Quarter 10.00 5.88 12.42 9.33 On April 1, 1999, LabOne issued a Warrant to Health Plan Services, Inc. ("HPS") to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock of LabOne, at a purchase price of $12.375 per share. The Warrant was issued in connection with an Agreement entered into between LabOne and HPS, which is a third party administrator. No cash consideration was received by LabOne for the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued for a term of five years and is exercisable by HPS in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock of LabOne indicated below for each calendar quarter during the term in which the quarterly revenues received by LabOne pursuant to the Agreement with HPS are within the ranges specified below: LabOne Quarterly Revenues Number of LabOne Shares Received under HPS Exercisable under the Agreement Warrant ---------------------------- ------------------------ $0.5 million - $1.5 million 5,000 $1.0 million - $1.5 million 10,000 $1.5 million - $2.5 million 15,000 $2.5 million - $2.5 million 20,000 Over $2.5 million 25,000 PAGE 11 On May 14, 1999, LabOne issued a Warrant to STC Technologies, Inc. ("STC") to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock of LabOne, at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Warrant was issued in connection with a Distribution Agreement entered into between LabOne and STC. Under the Distribution Agreement, STC Technologies appointed LabOne as its exclusive distributor in the North American workplace testing market for its new product line that is designed to identify illicit drug abuse through oral fluids rather than urine or blood samples. No cash consideration was received by LabOne for the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued for a term of two years and two months and is exercisable beginning one year after the date of issuance of the Warrant. On November 5, 1999, LabOne issued a Warrant to Mr. Larry Glenn to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock of LabOne, at a purchase price of $9.97 per share. The Warrant was issued in connection with a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between LabOne and Mr. Glenn pursuant to which LabOne acquired from Mr. Glenn the outstanding stock of World Wide Health Services, Inc. ("WWHS") in consideration of (1) a purchase price of $2 million in cash, as adjusted by a post-closing audit, (2) the issuance of the Warrant, and (3) WWHS's purchase from Mr. Glenn of the outstanding stock of World Wide Health Services of New Jersey, Inc.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- On July 1, 1999, the Company announced a restatement of earnings for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. As requested by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has changed the amortization schedule from fifteen years to five years on a customer list acquired during the first quarter 1997. The Company's original amortization period was based on historical performance; however, the SEC requested the amortization period be reduced to five years. The amortization expense of this asset was originally reported at $252,000 and $275,000 in 1997 and 1998, respectively, and has been restated to $757,000 and $826,000, respectively. This restatement is not the PAGE 13 result of any changes in customer relationships and has no effect on any present or future cash flows. 1999 Compared to 1998 Revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $119.7 million as compared to $102.2 million in 1998. The increase of $17.4 million, or 17%, was due to increases in insurance services revenue of $8.5 million, healthcare revenue of $6.2 million and SAT revenue of $2.7 million. The insurance services segment revenue increased from $69.1 million in 1998 to $77.7 million due to an increase in non laboratory services, including revenue of $7.4 million from the October 1998 acquisition of SBSI and revenue of $3.3 million from the November 1999 acquisition of ExamOne World Wide, partially offset by a 4% decrease in insurance laboratory revenue. This decrease is due to a 3% decrease in total applicants tested and a 1% decrease in the average revenue per applicant. Healthcare laboratory revenue increased from $18.6 million during 1998 to $24.8 million in 1999 primarily due to a 36% increase in testing volumes. SAT revenue increased from $14.5 million in 1998 to $17.2 million in 1999 primarily due to a 26% increase in testing volumes, partially offset by lower revenue per specimen. Cost of sales increased $14.8 million, or 26%, for the year as compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to increases in payroll, paramedical collections and the cost of motor vehicle and physician statements due to the addition of SBSI and ExamOne World Wide. Insurance segment cost of sales expenses were $41.9 million as compared to $32.3 million during 1998. Healthcare cost of sales expenses were $17.1 million as compared to $14.5 million during 1998. SAT cost of sales expenses were $12.6 million as compared to $9.9 million during 1998. These increases in the healthcare and SAT segments are due primarily to increased testing volumes. As a result of the above factors, gross profit increased $2.6 million, or 6%, from $45.5 million in 1998 to $48.1 million in 1999. Healthcare gross profit improved $3.7 million, from $4.1 million in 1998 to $7.7 million in 1999. SAT gross profit stayed at $4.6 million. Insurance gross profit decreased $1.1 million, or 3%, to $35.8 million in 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.8 million, or 20%, in 1999 as compared to 1998 primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization expenses, payroll expenses and bad debt accruals. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to placing the Company's new facility in service during 1999, and amortization expense increased primarily due to merger goodwill. Payroll expenses increased 9% for the year due to a 29% increase in selling, general and administrative employees at year end as compared to last year. Bad debt expense increased primarily due to the revenue growth in the healthcare and SAT segments which also have higher bad debt experience than the insurance segment. Healthcare overhead was $12.2 million as compared to $10.3 million in 1998. SAT overhead increased from $4.3 million in 1998 to $5.4 million in 1999. These increases are due to the growth in each segment. The allocation of corporate overhead to the healthcare and SAT segments increased to $6.4 million for the year, as compared to $5.3 million in 1998, due to the increased share of total revenue for those segments. Insurance overhead expenditures increased to $20.3 million as compared to $16.8 million in 1998 primarily due to the addition of SBSI. Operating income including overhead allocations decreased from $11.4 million in 1998 to $8.0 million in 1999. The insurance services segment had operating PAGE 14 income of $15.5 million as compared to $18.6 million in 1998. The healthcare segment experienced an operating loss of $4.5 million for 1999 as compared to an operating loss of $6.2 million in 1998. The SAT segment had an operating loss of $0.8 million in 1999 as compared to a gain of $0.2 million in 1998. Unallocated operating expenses for the year were $2.2 million related to corporate and merger expenses, partially offset by gains on the sale of the former laboratory and administrative facilities. Unallocated operating expenses in 1998 were $2.7 million. Non operating expense increased $1.8 million in 1999 as compared to 1998, primarily due to interest expense on the industrial revenue bonds and lower investment income due to less funds available for investment. Average income tax expense was 48.1% of pretax income in 1999 as compared to 46.2% in 1998. The increase is due to an increase in amortization expenses incurred from the Lab Holdings merger which are not deductible for tax purposes. The combined effect of the above factors resulted in net earnings of $2.9 million, or $0.27 per share, in 1999 as compared to $4.9 million, or $0.50 per share, in 1998. 1998 Compared to 1997 Revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $102.2 million as compared to $78.9 million in 1997. The increase of $23.3 million, or 30%, was due to increases in healthcare laboratory revenue of $11.1 million, insurance services revenue of $7.2 million and SAT revenue of $5.1 million. Healthcare laboratory revenue increased from $7.5 million during 1997 to $18.6 million in 1998 primarily due to increased testing volumes. The insurance services segment revenue increased from $62.0 million in 1997 to $69.1 million due to an increase in the total number of insurance applicants tested and an increase in non laboratory services, including SBSI revenue of $1.3 million, partially offset by a 3% decrease in the average revenue per applicant. SAT revenue increased from $9.4 million in 1997 to $14.5 million in 1998 primarily due to a 48% increase in testing volumes. Cost of sales increased $14.7 million, or 35%, for the year as compared to the prior year. This growth is primarily due to increases in inbound freight, laboratory and kit supplies and payroll expenses due to the larger specimen volume for all three business segments. Insurance segment cost of sales expenses were $32.3 million as compared to $26.7 million during 1997. Healthcare cost of sales expenses were $14.5 million as compared to $8.3 million during 1997. SAT cost of sales expenses were $9.9 million as compared to $7.0 million during 1997. These increases are due to increased testing volumes. As a result of the above factors, gross profit increased $8.6 million, or 23%, from $36.9 million in 1997 to $45.5 million in 1998. Insurance gross profit increased $1.5 million, or 4%, to $36.9 million in 1998. Healthcare gross profit improved $4.9 million from a loss of $0.8 million in 1997 to a gain of $4.1 million in 1998. SAT gross profit increased by $2.2 million to $4.5 million in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 3%, in 1998 as compared to 1997 primarily due to $4.6 million lower corporate expense at the Lab Holdings level due to the distribution of SLH Corporation and Response Oncology ownership to shareholders (see Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by $3.4 million increase in LabOne SGA due to increases in payroll expenses and bad debt accruals. Bad PAGE 15 debt expense increased primarily due to the revenue growth in the healthcare and SAT segments which also have higher bad debt experience. Healthcare overhead was $10.3 million as compared to $7.5 million in 1997. SAT overhead increased from $3.3 million in 1997 to $4.3 million in 1998. These increases were due to the growth in each segment and increased overhead allocations due to the increased share of total revenue for those segments. The allocation of corporate overhead to the healthcare and SAT segments increased to $5.3 million for the year, as compared to $3.3 million in 1997. Insurance overhead expenditures decreased to $16.8 million as compared to $17.3 million in 1997 (see Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). In 1997, the Company recorded a one-time write-down of $6.6 million on the value of the laboratory and administrative buildings in anticipation of their sale. (See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Operating income increased from a loss of $4.9 million in 1997 to a gain of $11.4 million in 1998. The insurance services segment operating income increased $2.1 million to $18.6 million in 1998. The healthcare segment had an operating loss of $6.2 million for 1998 as compared to an operating loss of $8.3 million in 1997. The SAT segment improved from an operating loss of $0.9 million in 1997 to a gain of $0.2 million in 1998. Other income decreased $4.0 million in 1998 as compared to 1997, primarily due to a Lab Holdings gain in 1997 of $3 million on the sale of marketable common stock and lower investment income in 1998 due to less funds available to invest. Average income tax expense was 46% of pretax income in 1998, primarily reflecting nondeductibility of goodwill amortization. Tax expense in 1997 was based on the write-off of approximately $5 million of deferred income tax assets related to assets spun-off in the SLH distribution and the write-off of unused deferred income tax assets not utilized in the Response distribution. The combined effect of the above factors resulted in earnings from continuing operations of $4.9 million in 1998 as compared to a $8.1 million loss from continuing operations in 1997. TRENDS - ------ The following is management's analysis of certain existing trends that have been identified as potentially affecting the future financial results of the Company. Due to the potential for a rapid rate of change in any number of factors associated with the insurance, SAT and healthcare laboratory testing industries, it is difficult to quantify with any degree of certainty LabOne's future volumes, sales or net earnings. Amortization of goodwill during 1999, including amortization from the Lab Holdings merger starting in August and amortization from the acquisition of ExamOne World Wide starting in November, was $3.2 million. Amortization of goodwill in the future, excluding any adjustments or future goodwill from additional acquisitions, is scheduled to be $4.1 million in 2000 and 2001, $3.4 million in 2002, $2.1 million in 2003 and $1.6 million in 2004. The majority of the amortization expense is not deductible for tax purposes and has the effect of increasing the average income tax rate. The insurance laboratory testing industry continues to be highly competitive. PAGE 16 The primary focus of the competition has been on pricing. LabOne continues to maintain its market leadership by providing quality products and services at competitive prices. Management expects that prices may continue to decline during 2000 due to competitive pressures. This trend may have a material impact on earnings from operations. Effective November 5, 1999, LabOne acquired World Wide Health Services, Inc. and World Wide Health Services of New Jersey, a provider of specimen collection and paramedical examination services to life and health insurers. These subsidiaries are operated under the name ExamOne World Wide and included in the insurance services division of LabOne. This addition allows LabOne to expand the services it offers to its insurance industry clients. Prior to its acquisition by LabOne, ExamOne World Wide had annual revenues of approximately $9 million. In the first two months of 2000, ExamOne World Wide has billed revenue of approximately $4 million. The paramedical industry is a low gross margin industry. A substantial percentage of the revenue from a specimen collection is paid back to the contracted phlebotomist or physician. As the revenue from ExamOne World Wide grows as a percentage of total LabOne revenue, its lower gross margins will add to the total profitability of LabOne but will reduce the average gross profit margin percentage. In the healthcare division, the Company continued its trend of growth led by its Lab Card Program. The Lab Card Program now has more than 1.7 million members. In 1999, the program continued to expand through new members as well as increased participation from existing members. The healthcare division also signed exclusive outpatient laboratory service contracts with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and Kaiser Permanente of Kansas City in early 2000. With the addition of these managed care organizations, LabOne has over 750,000 lives in its managed care programs. Managed care organizations and the physicians who are under their contracts continue to choose LabOne for its high-quality testing, disease management data capabilities, and responsive customer service and support. In addition to its urine drug testing, the SAT division of LabOne has introduced the Intercept (TM) drug testing service, a laboratory-based service that identifies commonly used illicit drugs in oral fluid samples. The oral fluid collection avoids the process of collecting and handling of urine samples which has been criticized for being invasive, demeaning and expensive. The collection with the Intercept device is directly observable and efficient. LabOne will market this new service to employers nationwide starting in 2000. The Company's new facility was financed through the City of Lenexa, Kansas, with industrial revenue bonds. In conjunction with the bonds, LabOne expects to receive income tax credits through the State of Kansas High Performance Incentive Plan to be applied against state income taxes for up to 10 years, or until the credit is completely used. The amount of the credit is expected to be approximately $4 million, and is expected to lower LabOne's average income tax rate for the duration of the credit. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- LabOne's working capital position declined from $31.3 million at December 31, 1998, to $19.4 million at December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily due to cash used in the merger with Lab Holdings, dividends paid, capital additions and debt payments exceeding cash provided by operations and line of credit borrowings. Net cash provided by operations increased from $10.3 PAGE 17 million in 1998 to $12.0 million in 1999. Accounts receivable grew from $18.7 million as of December 31, 1998 to $26.3 million as of December 31, 1999, due primarily to an increase in revenue growth from all three segments. Total cash and investments at December 31, 1999, were $3.0 million, as compared to $15.2 million at December 31, 1998. Management expects to be able to fund operations from a combination of cash flow from operations, cash reserves and short-term borrowings. During 1999, LabOne paid dividends of $0.20 per common share (split adjusted) in the first and second quarter. The Company paid dividends of $0.18 per common share in the third and fourth quarter. The total amount of dividends paid during 1999 was $0.76 per share, or $9.0 million. During the first quarter 2000, the Board of Directors decided to eliminate the quarterly dividend to retain cash flow to finance the Company's growth plans and for other corporate purposes. During 1999, the Company spent $12.8 million for capital investments, as compared to $28.5 million in 1998 and $11.5 million in 1997. Of the amount spent in 1999, $5.2 million was spent on completion of the Company's new facility and $2.1 million was spent on the purchase of ExamOne World Wide. Of the amount spent in 1998, approximately $21.6 million was for construction the Company's new facility, and $3.0 million net cash was used in the purchase of SBSI. The 1997 amount included land purchased related to the new facility and the GIB Laboratories acquisition. As of April 1999, the new facility was completely operational. Future capital asset expenditures, excluding strategic expansions, are expected to be approximately $5 million annually. On August 10, 1999, the former LabOne, Inc. was merged into its parent corporation, Lab Holdings, Inc. upon the approval of the shareholders of both companies at their respective annual meetings. The combined company's name was then changed to LabOne, Inc. The merger provisions included a 3 for 2 stock split for all Lab Holdings common shares, the par value of the common shares was changed from $1.00 per share to $0.01 per share, and the authorized number of common shares was increased to 40 million. The Company paid $12.6 million, including transaction costs, to complete the merger and purchase 0.8 million shares of LabOne stock. The minority 2.6 million shares of former LabOne stock were exchanged on a one for one basis for the combined company stock. The transaction was recorded under purchase accounting and resulted in $24.1 million in goodwill which is being amortized over 20 years. Interest on the industrial revenue bonds issued to finance the construction of the Company's new facility is based on a taxable seven day variable rate which, including letter of credit and remarketing fees, is approximately 6.6% as of March 1, 2000. The bonds mature over 11 years in increments of $1.85 million per year plus interest. The first principal payment of $1.85 million was paid in September 1999. The Company spent $10.3 million in the third quarter 1999 to fund cash elections from the merger. Interest on the line of credit is currently based on the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 75 basis points and is currently approximately 6.6%. During the first quarter 2000, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which LabOne is authorized to repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock. The Company has arranged for an increase in its available line of credit from $15 million to $25 million to accommodate stock repurchases. The timing of purchases and the actual number of shares purchased will depend upon market conditions. PAGE 18 ITEM 7(a). QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK A foreign currency risk exposure exists due to billing Canadian subsidiary revenue in Canadian dollars and the direct laboratory expenses associated with this revenue being incurred in US dollars. This exposure is not considered to be material. Any future material Canadian currency fluctuations against the US$ could result in a decision to hedge future foreign currency cash flows, or to increase Canadian prices. An interest rate risk exposure exists due to LabOne's liability of $18 million in industrial revenue bonds and $12 million borrowing on its line of credit. The interest expense incurred on the bonds is based on a taxable seven day variable rate, which including letter of credit and remarketing fees, is approximately 6.6% as of March 1, 2000. The interest expense on the line of credit is based on the 30 day LIBOR rate plus three quarters of one percent and is currently approximately 6.6%. This exposure is not considered material. Any future increase in interest rates would result in additional interest expense and could result in a decision to enter into a long-term interest rate swap transaction. ITEM 8.

In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LabOne, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

PAGE 34 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - ----------------------------------------------- Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation On August 10, 1999, LabOne, Inc. was merged into Lab Holdings, Inc. (Lab Holdings), its parent. The combined company's name was then changed to LabOne, Inc. (see note 2). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LabOne, Inc. (LabOne or the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LabOne Canada Inc.; Systematic Business Services, Inc.; and ExamOne World Wide (and its wholly owned subsidiary, ExamOne World Wide of New Jersey, Inc.). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits in banks, marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less, money market investments and overnight investments that are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Investment Securities LabOne determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when LabOne has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost and investment income is included in earnings. Inventories Inventories consist of completed specimen collection kits, laboratory supplies, and various materials used in the assembly of specimen collection kits for sale to clients. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment additions are recorded at cost, which includes interest capitalized during construction when material. Facilities leased pursuant to revenue bond financing transactions are accounted for as purchases with the cost of the leased property included in property, plant, and equipment and the related obligation included in long-term debt. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Buildings 30 years Laboratory equipment 3 - 5 years Data processing equipment 3 - 5 years Office equipment 5 years Cost of Borrowings PAGE 35 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 Expenses directly related to the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding using the interest method. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of amortization. The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of fifteen to twenty years. In July of 1999, the Company changed its amortization of acquired customer lists from fifteen years to five years based upon an SEC request. The effect of this change was an increase in amortization expense from $252,000 and $275,000 to $757,000 and $826,000 in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Impairment of Long-lived Assets When facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment, LabOne evaluates the recoverability of carrying values of long-lived assets, including intangibles, using estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over remaining asset lives. When impairment is indicated, any impairment loss is measured by the excess of carrying values over fair values. During the fourth quarter of 1997, LabOne decided to dispose of its office and headquarters building and lab facility, which, net of accumulated depreciation, was classified as real estate available-for-sale at December 31, 1998. An impairment loss of $6,553,279 related to the anticipated sale was recorded in 1997 which reduced the carrying value to $3,515,000. In 1999, the Company sold all real estate available-for-sale for $4,379,340 and recognized a gain of $864,340. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Estimates of fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect the estimates. The fair market value of LabOne's financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998 approximates their carrying values. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those PAGE 36 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive stock options. The following table reconciles the weighted average common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation and the weighted average common shares and common share equivalents used in the diluted per share calculation: 1999 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares (basic) 10,443,728 9,733,655 9,732,965 Employee stock options 7,704 -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares and common shares equivalents (diluted) 10,451,432 9,733,655 9,732,965 ========== ========== ========== New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective for LabOne's quarter ending September 30, 1999. Retroactive application will not be required. This statement will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. (2) Merger, Acquisitions, and Intangible Assets - ------------------------------------------------ The cost and accumulated amortization of intangible assets at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired 58,383,300 31,059,008 Accumulated amortization 20,514,409 17,288,729 ---------- ---------- Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization $ 37,868,921 13,770,280 ========== ========== On August 10, 1999, LabOne, Inc. was merged into Lab Holdings, its parent, upon the approval of the required number of shareholders of both companies at their respective annual meetings. The combined company's name was then PAGE 37 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 changed to LabOne, Inc. The merger provisions included a 3-for-2 stock split for all Lab Holdings shares. LabOne shares which did not elect the cash option were exchanged for combined company shares on a 1-for-1 basis. The Company paid $10,264,000 in cash for 805,000 shares of LabOne common stock which were exchanged for cash of $12.75 per share. Also, the Company paid $2,318,000 in related transaction costs. The transaction was accounted for as the acquisition of minority interest under the purchase method. The result of the merger was approximately $24,124,000 of goodwill which is being amortized over a twenty-year period and the elimination of minority interest. On November 5, 1999, LabOne acquired a paramed services company and a paramed billing service provider. The paramed services company was acquired for $279,000 and cash installments of $40,000 each year beginning in 2000 for five years and 10% of gross revenue for the next six years. The minimum payments under the gross revenue agreement provision are estimated to be $240,000. The current portion of the cash installments and the gross revenue percentage payments is recorded in other current liabilities with the remainder of the minimum purchase price recorded as a long-term payable. The excess of the aggregate minimum purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $469,000 is being amortized over fifteen years. The paramed billing service provider was acquired for $1,912,000 in cash and a stock warrant purchase agreement. In the agreement, the former owner of the paramed billing service provider may receive up to 250,000 common shares if specified revenue targets are achieved. Alternatively, the Company may be obligated to make cash payments of up to $1,000,000 depending on the Company's stock price. The Company believes it is likely the cash payment will be required and has, therefore, reported the $1,000,000 cash payment as a component of the purchase price. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $2,731,000 is being amortized over fifteen years. Effective October 30, 1998, LabOne acquired a provider of information support services to insurance underwriters for approximately $5.7 million. The purchase was comprised of $3.7 million of cash and the issuance of 168,885 shares of LabOne common stock having a fair market value of $2 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price could increase if the acquired company achieves certain levels of earnings in 2000. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $3,989,000 is being amortized over twenty years. The above acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results of the acquired companies have been included in the consolidated statements of operations from the dates of acquisition. Contingent consideration will be recorded when earned and will increase goodwill. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 assumes the acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 1998: PAGE 38 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Sales $ 128,581,000 118,278,000 Net earning 2,598,000 4,198,000 Earnings per share- basic and diluted 0.25 0.43 =========== =========== Pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events actually occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Effective January 30, 1997, LabOne acquired certain assets, including customer lists, of GIB Laboratories, Inc., a subsidiary of Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), for $4,815,889. Concurrently, Prudential's Individual Insurance Group agreed to use LabOne as its exclusive provider of risk assessment testing services. The excess costs over fair value of GIB Laboratories, Inc. assets acquired was $4,128,000 and is being amortized over five years. (3) Long-term Debt - ------------------- Long-term debt consists of the following as of December 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Taxable industrial revenue bonds, Series 1998A, principal payable annually through September 1, 2009, interest payable monthly at a rate adjusted weekly based on short-term United States treasury obligations (6.40% at December 31, 1999), secured by the Company's facility and an irrevocable bank letter of credit $ 18,150,000 20,000,000 Line of credit, variable interest rate (6.40% at December 31, 1999), principal due October 31, 2000 12,000,000 -- Various capital leases, principal and interest payable monthly through May 2003, interest ranging from 7% to 12%, collateralized by office equipment 66,595 54,446 ---------- ---------- Total long-term debt 30,216,595 20,054,446 Less: Current portion 1,873,577 1,860,168 Unamortized discount 87,879 96,970 ---------- ---------- Long-term debt, net $ 28,255,139 18,097,308 ========== ========== PAGE 39 LABONE, INC.

The proceeds of the additional $10 million are to be used to finance the repurchase of the Company's common stock and to finance daily operations. The line of credit bears variable interest, which at March 9 was approximately 6.6%. The principal of the line of credit is due on February 10, 2002. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agrees not to merge or consolidate with another entity, not to pay dividends or make any other payments to shareholders, and to maintain a certain tangible net worth and certain other financial ratios. (4) Income Taxes - ----------------- The components of income taxes and deferred taxes (benefit) are as follows for the years ended December 31: 1999 1998 1997 ---------- --------- --------- Current: Federal $ 652,087 4,602,389 (1,371,830) State 82,612 1,104,033 637,078 Foreign 115,059 117,121 305,924 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total current 849,758 5,823,543 (428,828) ---------- ---------- ---------- Deferred: Federal 2,490,548 (164,999) 7,554,482) State (12,669) 25,177 448,753 Foreign 28,061 (63,674) 2,872 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total deferred 2,505,940 (203,496) 8,006,107 ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 3,355,698 5,620,047 7,577,279 ========= ========= ========== The tax benefit associated with 1997 discontinued operations was $6,263,231.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 In conjunction with building its new facility, LabOne has received the Kansas High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP) tax credit. LabOne was certified by the State of Kansas and received a credit to offset all of its 1999 and 2000 Kansas income tax liability related to operations of the new facility. Any unused portion of the credit can be carried forward for a period of ten years, provided LabOne continues to meet requirements of the program. HPIP credits qualified in 1999 were for potential use in 1999 and subsequent years approximately $4,060,000. In 1999, LabOne used HPIP credits of approximately $170,000. A valuation allowance has been provided because the Company must prove it has the requisite employee wage scale and other specified items before it may use the credits already qualified. LabOne has certain capital loss carryovers that were attributes of the former Lab Holdings. These loss deductions give rise to deferred tax assets, however, a valuation allowance has been provided because full realization of the deferred tax assets is not expected. (5) Benefit Plans - ------------------ LabOne maintains a money purchase pension plan for all employees who have completed one-half year of service and have attained age twenty and one-half years. The plan is a defined contribution plan under which LabOne contributes a percentage of a participant's annual compensation. LabOne's contributions to the plan were $2,056,000, $1,803,000, and $1,422,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. LabOne has a profit sharing (401(k)) plan for all employees who have completed six months of service and a minimum of five hundred hours of service and have attained the age of twenty and one-half years. LabOne contributes on behalf of each participant an amount equal to 50% of the participant's annual contributions, but not in excess of 5% of the participant's annual compensation. LabOne's contributions are invested in LabOne common stock. LabOne's contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were $830,000, $663,000, and $558,000, respectively. (6) Stock Options and Warrants - ------------------------------- LabOne has a long-term incentive plan which provides for granting awards, including stock options, for not more than 2,215,252 shares of LabOne common stock. LabOne has granted certain stock options which entitle the grantee to purchase shares for a price equal to the fair market value at date of grant with option periods up to ten years. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. On December 31, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 and provide pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. PAGE 42 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 In connection with the merger transaction, stock options held by pre-merger LabOne employees were converted on a one for one basis to options on the Company's common shares.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 The weighted average per share fair value of stock options granted during 1999, 1998, and 1997 was $2.46, $3.54, and $5.08, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- Expected dividend yield 7.0 % 4.8 4.2 Risk-free interest rate 5.8 % 5.0 6.3 Expected volatility factor 43.0 % 33.9 35.4 Expected life (years) 6 6 6 ==== ==== ==== Since the Company applies APB No. 25 in accounting for its plans, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company recorded compensation cost based on the fair value of options at the grant date, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced by approximately the following: $633,000, or $0.05 per share, in 1999; $515,000, or $.04 per share, in 1998; and $416,000, or $.03 per share, in 1997. Pro forma net earnings reflect only options granted in 1999, 1998, and 1997. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net earnings amounts presented above because compensation costs are reflected over the options' vesting periods. Compensation cost for prior option grants is not considered. At December 31, 1998, the directors of Lab Holdings had 60,000 stock options at a weighted average price of $26.50 per share, of which 20,000 were exercisable. As a result of the merger, the exercisable options were adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split. The resulting 30,000 LabOne stock options have an exercise price of $17.66 per share. LabOne entered marketing agreements with two companies during 1998. In conjunction with these agreements, LabOne granted warrants for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the stock at the grant date (500,000 shares at $17.00 and 500,000 shares at $15.44). During the first quarter of 1999, the marketing agreement with shares valued at $17.00 was terminated. The remaining warrants become exercisable each quarter for five years provided certain conditions are met, including achievement of certain levels of revenues. During 1999 and 1998, warrants to purchase 125,000 shares were forfeited. (7) Business Segment Information - --------------------------------- The Company operates principally in three lines of business: insurance, healthcare, and substance abuse testing. The insurance line of business involves risk-appraisal laboratory testing, paramed physical evaluations, and information and billing services to the insurance industry. The tests and evaluations performed and information provided by the Company are specifically designed to assist an insurance company in objectively evaluating the risks PAGE 44 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 posed by policy applicants. The billing services provide insurance companies with a centralized billing structure for services performed by parameds. Healthcare services are provided to the health care industry to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Substance abuse testing services are provided to both regulated and nonregulated employers who employ drug screening guidelines. Operating income (loss) of each line of business is computed as sales less directly identifiable and allocated expenses. In computing operating income (loss) of lines of business, none of the following items have been allocated: general corporate expenses, investment income, goodwill or other income (expenses). Identifiable assets by line of business are those assets that are used in the Company's operations in each line of business. General corporate assets are principally cash, investment securities and merger goodwill. PAGE 45 LABONE, INC.

Quarterly earnings per share amounts do not add to annual earnings per share for 1999 because of rounding of quarterly computations. (9) Commitments and Contingencies - ----------------------------------- Tax Assessment The Comptroller of the State of Texas has conducted an audit of LabOne for sales and use tax compliance for the years 1991 through 1997, and contends that LabOne's insurance laboratory services are taxable under the Texas tax code. The Texas Comptroller has issued a tax audit assessment, including interest and penalties, of approximately $622,000. The Company has appealed this assessment arguing that its services do not fit within the definition of insurance services under the Texas code. The assessment is under review by the Texas Comptroller's administrative law judge's office. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this appeal. Leases LabOne has several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for land and buildings, and other commitments that expire through 2004, including a lease PAGE 47 LABONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 for office space from an entity owned by an employee. Rental expense for these operating leases during 1999, 1998, and 1997 amounted to $513,000, $539,000, and $529,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments and other commitments under these agreements as of December 31, 1999 are: Year Amount ------ -------- 2000 $ 621,000 2001 478,000 2002 370,000 2003 317,000 2004 254,000 (10) Dispositions - ------------------ On March 3, 1997, Lab Holdings distributed to its shareholders all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, SLH Corporation, on the basis of one share of common stock of SLH Corporation for each four shares of Lab Holdings common stock held. In connection with this distribution and pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between Lab Holdings and SLH Corporation, Lab Holdings transferred its real estate and energy businesses and miscellaneous assets and liabilities, including two wholly owned subsidiaries, Scout Development Corporation and BMA Resources, Inc., to SLH Corporation. The net assets distributed to SLH Corporation totaled approximately $47,963,199 on the date of distribution. The spin-off was accounted for as a 1997 dividend. In July 1997, Lab Holdings' Board of Directors declared a dividend to Lab Holdings' shareholders of all shares of common stock of Response Oncology, Inc. (Response) owned by Lab Holdings. For each shareholder of record on July 11, 1997, 1.2447625 shares of Response common stock were distributed on July 25, 1997 for each share of Lab Holdings common stock outstanding. The distribution of all shares of Response stock to Lab Holdings' shareholders was effected as a dividend. The Lab Holdings shareholders paid no consideration for any shares of Response or SLH Corporation stock received in the distributions. PAGE 48 LABONE, INC.
