           SYNCOR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  GENERAL.  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.
    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 only of normal
    recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
    presentation have been included. The results of the six months
    ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the
    results to be expected for the full year.  For further
    information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
    and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
    10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain line items in
    the prior year's consolidated condensed financial statements
    have been reclassified to conform to the current year's
    presentation.

2.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.  In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement
    No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and
    Other Intangible Assets.  Statement 141 requires that the purchase
    method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
    after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business
    combinations completed after June 30, 2001.  Statement 141 also
    specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method
    business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart
    from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an
    assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately.  Statement
    142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
    useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
    impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of
    Statement 142.  Statement 142 will also require that intangible assets
    with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
    estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
    reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting
    for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
    Be Disposed Of.

    The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141
    immediately, except with regard to business combinations initiated
    prior to July 1, 2001, which it expects to account for using the
    pooling-of-interests method, and Statement 142 effective January 1,
    2002.*  Furthermore, any goodwill and any intangible asset determined
    to have an indefinite useful life that are acquired in a purchase
    business combination  completed after June 30, 2001 will not be
    amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in
    accordance with the appropriate pre-Statement 142 accounting
    literature.  Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business
    combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be
    amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142.

    Statement 141 will require  upon adoption of Statement 142, that the
    Company  evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that
    were acquired in a prior purchase business combination, and to make any
    necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria
    in Statement 141 for recognition apart from goodwill.  Upon adoption of
    Statement 142, the Company will be required to reassess the useful
    lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase
    business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period
    adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption.  In
    addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an
    indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the
    intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of
    Statement 142 within the first interim period.  Any impairment loss
    will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the
    cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first
    interim period.

    In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation,
    Statement 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of
    whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the
    date of adoption.  To accomplish this the Company must identify
    its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each
    reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the
    existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting unit's as
    of the date of adoption.  The Company will then have up to six months
    from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting
    unit and compare it to the reporting unit's carrying amount.  To the
    extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an
    indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired



____________________________
*   Companies with fiscal year ends beginning after March 15, 2001, who have
    not yet issued financial statements for their first interim period may
    early adopt Statement 142.



    and the Company must perform the second step of the
    transitional impairment test.  In the second step, the Company must
    compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill,
    determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of it
    assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar
    to a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement 141, to its
    carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of
    adoption.   This second step is required to be completed as soon as
    possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption.  Any
    transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect
    of a change in accounting principle in the Company's statement of
    earnings.

    As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to have  unamortized
    goodwill in the amount of $114,162,  unamortized identifiable intangible
    assets in the amount of $19,416, all of which will be subject to the
    transition provisions of Statements 141 and 142.  Amortization expense
    related to goodwill was $3,220 and $3,083 for the year ended December
    31, 2000 and the six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.  Because
    of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting Statements 141
    and 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of
    adopting these Statements on the Company's financial statements at the
    date of this report, including whether any transitional impairment
    losses will be required to be recognized as the cumulative effect of a
    change in accounting principle.


3.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.  Other comprehensive income includes
    foreign currency translation adjustments and net unrealized gains
    and losses on investments in equity securities. Such amounts are

5.   NET INCOME PER SHARE.  Basic earnings per share (EPS)
     amounts are computed by dividing earnings applicable to common
     stockholders by the average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
     EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all
     potentially dilutive equivalents outstanding. Anti-dilutive
     outstanding stock options have been excluded from the diluted
     calculation.

     The reconciliation of the numerator and denominators of the
     basic and diluted earnings per share computations are as
     follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and
     2000:

6.	NOTES RECEIVABLE-RELATED PARTIES.  We initiated a Senior
	Management Stock Purchase Plan effective June 16, 1998,
	pursuant to which our officers and key employees purchased
	shares of Syncor stock.  The shares were paid with a five-year
	interest bearing promissory note payable to us.  Interest on
	each note is payable on each anniversary date, with the entire
	outstanding principal and unpaid interest due on the fifth
	anniversary date.

7.	ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES.  During the second quarter of 2001,
        we made two international division investments. We acquired the
        exclusive right to provide management services to an oncology
        center in Brazil in exchange for $1.95 million. We also acquired
        a distributor and manufacturer of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals
        in Australia for a purchase price of $.7 million.



              SYNCOR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

NET SALES
_________

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001
increased 21.6% or $33.3 million to $187.7 million versus $154.4
million for the second quarter of 2000.  Consolidated net sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 21.7% or $65.8
million to $369.1 million versus $303.3 million for the same
period of the prior year.

U.S. PHARMACY SERVICES BUSINESS

Our Pharmacy Services business grew at a pace of 11.2% for the
current quarter and 10.2% year-to-date, which is a result of
continued growth in both the overall market place and the
Cardiology sector of the Company's business.  Our overall year-
over-year growth rate for the Cardiology sector was approximately
12% for the quarter and year-to-date.  Sales of Cardiolite(R), a
proprietary technetium-based heart imaging agent to which the
Company has preferential U.S. distribution rights, led the growth
in Cardiology with approximately a 15% growth rate for both the
quarter and year-to-date.  We implemented price increases of
approximately 3.5% in both 2000 and 2001 which contributed to the
sales growth.

U.S. MEDICAL IMAGING BUSINESS

We continue to grow the medical imaging business both as a result
of the acquisition of sites and growth at existing sites.
Overall, sales have increased year-over-year 73.8% for the
quarter and nearly 90% year-to-date.  Same-store sales growth for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 was approximately 15% or $4.5
million and represented 12% of the increase. Sales growth has
also been due to a large imaging center acquisition in late
September 2000 which accounts for $11.8 million or 52.2% for the
quarter and $23.4 million or 57.9% year-to-date.  Quarterly
revenues associated with this acquisition are included in operating
results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 but not for the
corresponding period of the prior year.  At quarter end, we had 63
domestic imaging centers compared to 42 for the comparable quarter
in 2000.  We expect to continue to grow this business through a
combination of growth in existing sites and acquisitions in certain
strategic geographic regions.  In order to accomplish these goals,
we continue to devote capital for key management positions,
strategic systems initiatives, equipment upgrades and replacements
at imaging centers, and the purchase of new imaging equipment such
as PET scanners.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Our international operations continue to grow and sales for the
quarter increased 34.7% as compared to the prior year and
increased 26.7% on a year-to-date basis. Same-store growth was
8.3% for the quarter and was impacted by Taiwan sites, which
reported lower sales due to a slowdown in government health
funding. Excluding Taiwan, same-store sales growth was 18.4% for
the quarter.  We generated $4.5 million of additional revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from sites that we opened
ourselves and acquired during 2000. We look for the continued
expansion of this segment as our existing operations mature and
we complete further strategic acquisitions.


GROSS PROFIT
____________

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased
$16.7 million or 30.1% to $72.2 million.  Year to date gross
profit increased $34.4 million or 32.3% to $140.9 million. As a
percentage of net sales, gross margins reached 38.5% for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2001 and 38.2% year-to-date
compared to 35.9% and 35.1% for the respective periods in 2000.

U.S. PHARMACY SERVICES BUSINESS

The gross profit for the pharmacy services business continues to
improve.  Our margin increased from 28.8% in the second quarter of
2000 to 29.8% in 2001.  Year to date, this margin increased from
28.7% in 2000 to 29.6% in 2001.  These improvements are due to
price increases on products, the shift from lower margin products
to Cardiolite(R) and continued leverage of our labor and delivery
resources.



U.S. MEDICAL IMAGING BUSINESS

The gross profit margin for this group decreased from 72.3% to
67.1% for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the prior
year and has declined from 71.2% to 66.8% on a year to date
basis.  This decline is principally from two factors. The first
is the increase in the number of full modality sites as compared
to the previous year. We increased the number of full modality
sites from nine at June 30, 2000 to twenty at June 30, 2001
because many local insurance groups prefer to contract with
imaging centers that offer all modalities.  Consequently,
insurance groups do not have to enter into multiple contracts.
Our full modality sites generally have a lower gross profit
margin due to lower average scan fees and higher operating costs.
The second reason for the margin decline is that we experienced
an increase in reading fees that we pay to our contracted
radiologists.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The gross profit margin for this segment increased to 45.2% from
43.2% in the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the second
quarter of 2000 and to 44.1% from 42.2% on a year-to-date basis.
These margins have improved as volumes increase and efficiencies
improve at our pharmacy sites. Our overall mix of revenues from
imaging centers has also contributed to higher margins, as
imaging margins are traditionally higher than pharmacy margins.


OPERATING, SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
______________________________________________

Operating, Selling and Administration costs increased 27.1% or
$11.4 million for the second quarter 2001 as compared to the
prior year.  These costs increased 21.9% or $27.3 million on a
year-to-date basis. The ratio of these expenses to sales
increased slightly to 22.3% from 21.3% in the comparative quarter
in 2000. Year-to-date, these costs increased from 21.4% in 2000
to 21.9% in 2001. The primary reason this percentage remained
relatively flat in the quarter and year-to-date was that we
accrued bonuses, which are linked to reaching certain stock price
levels, and certain other performance bonuses at a higher rate
during 2000 than in 2001.


DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
_____________________________

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.6 million or 39.3%
to $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to the
second quarter of 2000 and $5.9 million or 50.4% to $17.7 million
year-to-date.  These increases were primarily the result of
depreciation, goodwill and non-compete costs associated with our
imaging business acquisitions, which accounts for $1.9 million of
this increase for the quarter and $4.4 million year-to-date.
Additionally, we have invested capital in international sites
(primarily imaging equipment), which contributed about $.6
million additionally of this increase on a year-to-date basis.


OTHER EXPENSE, Net
___________________

The change in Other Expense, Net was primarily the result of
increased interest expense for acquisition debt incurred since
the second quarter of 2000.


ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES
_________________________

During the second quarter of 2001, we made two international
division investments. We acquired the exclusive right to provide
management services to an oncology center in Brazil in exchange
for $1.95 million. We also acquired a distributor and
manufacturer of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals in Australia for
a purchase price of $.7 million.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
_______________________________

We had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $41.3 million at
June 30, 2001 compared with $29.7 million at December 31, 2000.
Our total debt of $195.3 million at June 30, 2001 reflects an
increase of $45.3 million when compared to the balance of $150.0
million at December 31, 2000.  The increase for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 results primarily from the financing of
acquisitions, which required approximately $18.1 million and
capital additions which exceeded cash provided by operations by
$5.1 million. In addition, since December 31, 2000, we repurchased
411,000 shares of our stock at a value of $13.9 million for treasury
stock.  Working capital increased by $43.8 million to $124.1 million
at June 30, 2001 compared to $80.3 million at December 31, 2000.

We believe that sufficient internal and external sources exist to
fund operations and future expansion plans.  We have $41.9
million in available credit on the $190 million credit line
available at June 30, 2001.  We increased our credit line
facility to $200 million on July 25, 2001.



RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
___________________

In June 2001, the Company and DuPont announced that they agreed to
forego the automatic renewal provision in their current distribution
agreement, which remains in effect through 2003.  The automatic renewal
provision would have caused the distribution agreement to automatically
renew in 2004.  Both companies announced that they are working together
to explore the development of an extended distribution agreement that
would take effect after the expiration of the existing distribution
agreement at the end of 2003.  Under the distribution agreement, we
have preferred distribution rights for Cardiolite(R) from DuPont.
Cardiolite(R) accounted for 44.8% of our net sales in 2000.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
__________________________

Except for the historical information and discussions contained
herein, statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q may
constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These
statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially,
including: changes in the regulation of the healthcare industry
at either or both of the federal and state levels; changes or
delays in reimbursement for our services by governmental or
private payers; our failure to continue to develop and market new
products and services and to keep pace with technological change;
competitive pressures; failure to obtain or protect intellectual
property rights; quarterly fluctuations in revenues and
volatility of our stock price; our ability to attract and retain
key personnel; currency risks; dependence on certain suppliers;
our ability to successfully manage acquisitions and alliances;
legal, political and economic changes; and other risks,
uncertainties and factors discussed in the "Risk Factors"
section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere herein,
in our other filings with the SEC or in materials incorporated by
reference.  Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not
be placed on such forward-looking statements.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
___________________________________________________________

Interest income earned on our investment portfolio is affected by
changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Our line of
credit borrowings effectively bear interest at variable rates and
therefore, changes in U.S. interest rates affect interest expense
incurred thereon. Changes in interest rates do not affect interest
expense incurred on our fixed rate debt.  There have been no
significant changes in the debt instruments from the table as filed
on December 31, 2000.
