EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

A total of 1,274,252 shares of common stock of the registrant were registered in connection with the LabOne, Inc. 1987 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1987 Plan") pursuant to the registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8, registration no. 333-92135, filed December 6, 1999 ("1999 Form S-8"). On May 24, 2001, the shareholders of the registrant approved the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2001 Plan"). Of the 1,274,252 shares registered in connection with the 1987 Plan, 559,996 shares have not been issued and are not subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding awards granted under the 1987 Plan. Pursuant to Instruction E to Form S-8 and telephone interpretation number G.89 of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in the Division of Corporation Finance's Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations dated July 1997, 559,996 shares of common stock registered on the 1999 Form S-8, as amended, are carried forward to, and deemed covered by, the registration statement on Form S-8 filed on or about the date hereof in connection with the 2001 Plan (the "2001 Form S-8").

In addition to the 559,996 shares being carried forward to the 2001 Form S-8 on or about the date hereof, approximately 713,256 shares registered in connection with the 1987 Plan have not been issued but may be issued pursuant to outstanding awards under the 1987 Plan. In the event any of these shares are not issued in connection with the 1987 Plan, such as when outstanding awards are cancelled without the issuance of shares, the registrant intends to periodically file additional post-effective amendments to the 1999 Form S-8 and post-effective amendments to the 2001 Form S-8 carrying forward such shares for issuance in connection with the 2001 Plan.
