Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1997
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 of Quintiles
Transnational Corp. (the "Company").
The balance sheet at December 31, 1996 has been derived from the audited
financial statements of the Company and Medical Actions Communications Limited
("MAC"), a 1997 pooling of interests transaction, at that date (see Note 2).
The balance sheet does not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during each period. Weighted average shares outstanding for
the three and six month periods ended June 30 were as follows:
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
1997 1996
---- ----
Three months ended June 30 36,410,652 34,499,128
Six months ended June 30 35,865,734 34,441,277
2. Mergers
On June 11, 1997, the Company acquired MAC, a leading international strategic
medical communications consultancy. The Company acquired all of the stock of
MAC for approximately 566,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Approximately 91,000 of these exchange shares were attributable to cash
reserves held by MAC and its affiliates. The Company also granted stock options
for approximately 63,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and as such, all historical
financial data have been restated to include the historical financial data of
MAC.

(Unaudited) -- Continued
On June 2, 1997, the Company acquired Butler Communications Inc. ("Butler") and
its affiliated companies, including Butler Clinical Recruitment, Inc., which
specialize in communication programs to accelerate the recruitment of patients
for clinical trials. The Company acquired the Butler businesses in exchange for
approximately 214,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the
Company assumed approximately $2.8 million in existing Butler debt. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and as such, all
condensed consolidated financial data for periods subsequent to January 1, 1997
have been restated to include the results of Butler. Since the financial data
of Butler prior to January 1, 1997 have no material impact on the condensed
consolidated financial data previously reported by the Company, the condensed
consolidated financial data presented for periods prior to January 1, 1997 have
not been restated to include the historical financial data of Butler.
Reconciliation of results of operations previously reported by the separate
entities prior to the merger and as restated for the combined company follows
(in thousands, except per share data):
Company MAC Butler Consolidated

For the six months ended June 30, 1997:

Net income per share $ 0.61* $ 0.65
* Includes approximately $800,000 of acquisition costs which are not deductible for tax purposes.
Excluding these costs, net income per share would have been $0.63.

3. Significant Customer
No customer accounted for greater than 10% of consolidated net revenue
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. One customer accounted
for 12.1% and 12.3% of consolidated net revenue for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
4. Shareholders' Equity
On March 12, 1997, the Company closed a public offering of 5,520,000
shares of Common Stock at a price to the public of $62.875 per share. Of
the 5,520,000 shares sold, 1,415,000 shares were sold by the Company. Net
proceeds to the Company, which exclude underwriting discounts and
offering expenses, amounted to approximately $84.6 million.
5. Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company recorded an estimate of the
deferred tax asset related to tax basis goodwill created by the Innovex
acquisition, which is amortizable for U.S. tax purposes starting January
1, 1997. The gross amount of this deferred tax asset is estimated to be
$99.5 million, for which a valuation allowance of $36.8 million was
recorded to reflect possible limitations in the use of these tax
benefits. A corresponding $62.7 million increase in additional paid in
capital was recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FASB 128"), which is required
to be adopted in December 1997. Upon adoption, the Company will be
required to change its method of computing, presenting and disclosing
earnings per share information, as well as, restating all prior periods
presented. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The
impact is expected to result in an increase in primary
8

QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) -- Continued
earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996. Under FASB 128, the primary earnings per share would have been
$0.34 and $0.21 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively and $0.67 and $0.35 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The impact of FASB 128 on the calculation of
fully diluted earnings per share for these periods is not expected to be
material.
7. Subsequent Event
On July 2, 1997, the Company acquired CerebroVascular Advances, Inc.
("CVA"), a clinical research company, based in San Antonio, TX that is a
leader in stroke clinical trials. The Company exchanged approximately
234,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of CVA's outstanding shares of
capital stock and exchanged options exerciseable for approximately 17,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The transaction will be accounted
for as a pooling of interests.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Net revenue increased 47.0% to $190.5 million for the second quarter of 1997, as
compared to $129.6 million for the second quarter of 1996. In general, growth
occurred across each of the Company's three geographic regions. Factors
contributing to this growth include the provision of increased services rendered
under existing contracts and the initiation of services under contracts awarded
subsequent to the second quarter of 1996.
Direct costs, which include compensation and related fringe benefits for
billable employees and any other expenses directly related to contracts,
increased 54.4% to $98.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $64.1
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Direct costs, as a percentage of
net revenue, were 51.9% for the second quarter of 1997 versus 49.4% for the
second quarter of 1996. The increase is primarily due to direct costs for sales
and marketing services as a percentage of net revenue being higher than direct
costs for the contract research services as a percentage of net revenue. The
sales and marketing services represent a larger proportion of the total net
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1996.
General and administrative expense, which includes compensation and fringe
benefits for administrative employees, non-billable travel, professional
services, advertising, computer and facility expenses, increased 31.7% to $62.8
million from $47.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. General and administrative expense, as a percentage of net revenue
was 33.0% for the second quarter of 1997 versus 36.8% for the second quarter of
1996. The decrease is primarily due to a proportionately greater increase in
sales and marketing services during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
the second quarter of 1996. Generally, lower overheads are associated with sales
and marketing services.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $8.7 million for the second quarter
of 1997 from $5.8 million for the second quarter of 1996.
Income from operations was $20.1 million or 10.5% of net revenue for the second
quarter of 1997 versus $12.1 million or 9.3% of net revenue for the second
quarter of 1996.
Other expense decreased 63.3% to $323,000 for the second quarter of 1997 from
$879,000 for the second quarter of 1996. Net interest expense decreased
approximately $1.1 million due to a decrease in interest expense of
approximately $539,000 and an increase in interest income of approximately
$562,000. Offsetting these amounts were approximately $800,000 in acquisition
costs in the second quarter of 1997 which are non-deductible for tax purposes.
10
11
QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, increased to 38.2%
for the second quarter of 1997 versus 32.7% for the second quarter of 1996.
This increase is primarily due to an increase in profits in locations with
higher tax rates and the non-deductible acquisition costs that were incurred
during the second quarter of 1997.
Net income available to common shareholders increased to $12.2 million for the
second quarter of 1997 from $7.0 million for the second quarter of 1996.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Net revenue increased 51.7% to $367.7 million for the six months of 1997, as
compared to $242.4 million for the first six months of 1996. In general, growth
occurred across each of the Company's three geographic regions. Factors
contributing to this growth include the provision of increased services rendered
under existing contracts and the initiation of services under contracts awarded
subsequent to the first six months of 1996.
Direct costs, which include compensation and related fringe benefits for
billable employees and any other expenses directly related to contracts,
increased 55.6% to $189.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from
$121.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Direct costs, as a
percentage of net revenue, were 51.6% for the first six months of 1997 versus
50.3% for the six months of 1996. This increase is primarily due to direct costs
for sales and marketing services as a percentage of net revenue being higher
than direct costs for contract research services as a percentage of net revenue.
The sales and marketing services represent a larger proportion of the total net
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996.
General and administrative expense, which includes compensation and fringe
benefits for administrative employees, non-billable travel, professional
services, advertising, computer and facility expenses, increased 44.6% to $122.9
million from $85.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. General and administrative expense, as a percentage of net
revenue, decreased to 33.4% for the first six months of 1997 from 35.1% for the
first six months of 1996. The decrease is primarily due to a proportionately
greater increase in sales and marketing services during the first six months of
1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996. Generally, lower overheads are
associated with sales and marketing services.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $16.7 million for the first six
months of 1997 from $11.2 million for the first six months of 1996.
Income from operations was $38.4 million or 10.4% of net revenue for the first
six months of 1997 versus $19.6 million or 8.1% of net revenue for the second
quarter of 1996. Excluding non-recurring costs, income from operations was $24.3
million or 10.0% of net revenue for the first six months of 1996. During the
first six months of 1996, two non-recurring charges were recognized: a $2.4
million expense for an Innovex Limited internal reorganization and a related
$2.3 million special pension contribution.
11
12
QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Other expense was $1.0 million for the first six months of 1997 as compared to
$571,000 for the first six months of 1996. The net increase is primarily due to
$800,000 of acquisition costs incurred in the first six months of 1997 as
compared to $30,000 in the first six months of 1996 both of which are
non-deductible for tax purposes. Offsetting these amounts is an increase of
approximately $137,000 of net interest income.
Income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, increased to 37.6%
for the first six months of 1997 versus 35.6% for the first six months of 1996.
This increase is primarily due to an increase in profits in locations with
higher tax rates and the non-deductible acquisition costs that were incurred
during the second quarter of 1997.
Net income available to common shareholders increased to $23.3 million for the
first six months of 1997 from $11.5 million for the first six months of 1996.
Excluding non-recurring costs, net income available to common shareholders was
$15.1 million for the first six months of 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash inflows from operations were $21.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997 versus cash outflows of $1.2 million for the comparable period of 1996.
Investing activities, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, consisted
primarily of capital asset purchases, acquisitions, investment security
purchases and maturities and payment of non-recurring transaction costs accrued
in 1996. These investing activities required an outlay of cash of $52.8 million
for the first six months of 1997 compared to an outlay of $88.9 million for
investing activities during the same period in 1996.
As of June 30, 1997, total working capital was $152.4 million versus $99.0
million as of December 31, 1996. Net receivables from clients (accounts
receivable and unbilled services net of unearned income) increased to $115.6
million at June 30, 1997 as compared to $101.3 million at the end of 1996.
On March 12, 1997, the Company closed a public offering of 5,520,000 shares of
its Common Stock at a price to the public of $62.875 per share. Of the 5,520,000
shares sold, 1,415,000 shares were sold by the Company and 4,105,000 shares were
sold by selling shareholders. Net proceeds to the Company amounted to
approximately $84.6 million.

QUINTILES TRANSNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company has a (pound)15.0 million (approximately $25.0 million) unsecured
line of credit with a U.K. bank and a (pound)5.0 million (approximately $8.3
million) secured overdraft facility with a second U.K. bank. At June 30, 1997,
the Company had (pound)18.5 million (approximately $30.8 million) available
under these arrangements. A $4.0 million secured line of credit with a U.S. bank
and a $15.0 million unsecured line of credit with a second U.S. bank expired in
accordance with their terms during the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The Company's primary cash needs on both a short-term basis and a long-term
basis are for working capital, geographic expansion, addition of new services,
potential acquisitions, general corporate purposes and capital expenditures.
Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its available
cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 1997, together with cash flow from
operations and borrowings under its line of credit agreements, will be
sufficient to meet its foreseeable cash needs.
Currently, the Company is evaluating a number of acquisition and expansion
possibilities. The Company may from time to time seek to obtain debt or equity
financing to facilitate possible acquisitions or expansion.
Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information
Information set forth in this Form 10-Q including Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain various
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, which statements
represent the Company's actual operating results and financial position to
differ materially. Such forward looking statements can be identified by the use
of forward looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "believe," or "continue," or the negative thereof or other
variations thereof or comparable terminology.
The Company cautions that any such forward looking statements are further
qualified by important factors that could cause the Company's actual operating
results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements,
including without limitation, the Company's dependence on certain industries and
