Response Oncology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and 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 month and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Response
Oncology, Inc. and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.

The Company, formerly known as Response Technologies, Inc., changed its name to
Response Oncology, Inc. effective November 2, 1995.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Net earnings per common share for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 have been computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Common
Stock equivalents outstanding during the year.  For the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1994, loss per common share has been computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period as common stock equivalents were antidilutive.  The weighted
average number of common shares and earnings (loss) per common share results
reflect a one-for-five reverse stock split.

Note 2 - Parent Company

Response Oncology, Inc. is a subsidiary of Seafield Capital Corporation.

On February 10, 1995, Seafield announced its retention of Alex. Brown and Sons,
Incorporated as financial advisor to evaluate and recommend steps to enhance
the value of Seafield to its shareholders.  Any transaction pursued by Seafield
will be likely to result in a significant change in the Company's ownership.

Note 3 - Line of Credit

The Company has a $2,500,000 revolving bank line of credit, secured by eligible
accounts receivable, bearing interest at the bank's prime rate plus one
percent, or 9.75% at September 30, 1995.  The line, which expires April 1,
1996, is expected to be renewed for additional one year terms.  There were no
borrowings outstanding under the line as of September 30, 1995.

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

With respect to professional and general liability risks, the Company currently
maintains an insurance policy that provides coverage during the policy period
ending August 1, 1996, on a claims-made basis, for $1,000,000 per claim in
excess of the Company retaining $25,000 per claim, and $3,000,000 in the
aggregate.  Costs of defending claims are in addition to the limit of
liability.  In addition, the Company maintains a $50,000,000 umbrella policy
with respect to potential general liability claims.  Since inception, the
Company has incurred no professional or general liability losses and as of
September 30, 1995, the Company was not aware of any pending professional or
general liability claims.

Note 5 - Common Stock

On November 2, 1995, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse split of its
Common Stock.  Information related to issued and outstanding shares and per
share results of operations in the financial statements has been adjusted for
the effect of the reverse stock split.


ITEM 2:          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company is a leading provider of advanced cancer treatments and related
services, principally on an out-patient basis, through treatment centers owned
or managed by the Company.  The centers, known as IMPACT(R) (IMPlementing
Advanced Cancer Treatments) Centers, are staffed by experienced oncology
nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technologists, and other support personnel to
deliver out-patient services under the direction of private practicing
oncologists. The primary treatments provided by the Centers involve high-dose
chemotherapy coupled with support of the patient's immune system through the
use of autologous peripheral blood stem cell reinfusion. The Centers also
provide home pharmacy and out-patient infusional services for its patients.

Beginning in 1994, the Company began expanding its network of centers to
include hospital-affiliated centers.  These centers entail either a management
agreement ("managed centers") or a jointly owned entity ("jointly owned
centers").  For managed centers, the Company provides technical and
administrative services, including treatment protocols and data management,
employee training and reimbursement support. Patient care and laboratory
services are provided and billed to third parties by the host hospital, with a
management fee paid to the Company.

For jointly owned centers, the Company and the host hospital contribute cash
and other forms of capital to establish an entity to provide outpatient and
inpatient services to its patients.  These entities will purchase services from
the hospital to deliver and manage complex cancer treatments.  The Company
contemplates that it will maintain management control of these jointly owned
programs, and accordingly plans to include the results of operations on a
consolidated basis.

The Company plans to expand its operations to include the acquisition and
management of oncology physician practices as discussed more fully hereinafter.

As of September 30, 1995, the Company had twenty-seven IMPACT Centers, seven
managed centers, and five jointly owned centers located in twenty-one states. 
The five jointly owned centers were not operational as of September 30, 1995.
The Company anticipates continued nationwide expansion over the next few years,
primarily through the establishment of jointly owned centers.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded net earnings of $605,000 and $2,162,000 for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to net losses of ($138,000)
and ($1,657,000) for the same periods last year.

Net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 of $11,222,000 increased
$384,000 or 4% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  Net
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $33,795,000 increased
$5,165,000 or 18% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The
increase is primarily attributable to increased patient referrals.  Net revenue
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 also included
approximately $180,850 and $577,500 respectively, related to the Company's
efforts to conduct pharmaceutical contract research in parallel with its 
clinical trials data management activities.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 decreased $420,000
or 5% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1994. Operating expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased $1,257,000 or 5% when
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  These expenses consist
of payroll costs, pharmaceutical and laboratory expenses, rent expense and
other operational expenses.  Operating expenses display a high degree of
variability in proportion to patient services revenue.  Operating expenses as a
percentage of net revenue were 74% and 81% for the quarters and 73% and 82% for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994,
respectively.  This decrease is primarily attributable to operating
efficiencies at higher levels of center activity and certain fixed operating
expenses being spread over a larger revenue base.

General and administrative costs for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
increased $386,000 or 37% when compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1994.  These expenses increased $839,000 or 26% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
The increase is primarily attributable to increases in administrative payroll
and related costs.  General and administrative costs as a percentage of net
revenue were 13% and 10% for the quarters and 12% and 11% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
decreased $137,000 or 26% when compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1994.  The expense decreased $350,000 or 22% between the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1995.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the
startup costs of many Centers being fully amortized after a two-year
operational period.

The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $72,000 or 11% and $188,000 or
10% between the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The provision as a percentage of net revenue was 5% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 6% and 7% for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1994. The decrease is attributable to a
higher proportion of contracted patient accounts, improved collections
performance and an increase in revenues from physician sales, hospital
management fees, and contract research for which collection is more certain.

Tax net operating loss carryforwards were utilized to fully offset current year
taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1995, the Company's working capital was $14,434,000, with
current assets of $20,262,000 and current liabilities of $5,828,000.  Cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments represent $3,621,000 of the
Company's current assets.

The Company has a $2,500,000 revolving bank line of credit, secured by eligible
accounts receivable bearing interest at the bank's prime rate plus one percent,
or 9.75% at September 30, 1995.  The line, which expires April 1, 1996, is
expected to be renewed for additional one year terms.  There were no borrowings
outstanding under the line at September 30, 1995.

Management believes that the Company's cash and capital resources, together
with available credit facilities, will be sufficient to finance current
operations and anticipated expansion of the Company's network of IMPACT
Centers.

Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the Company engaged Smith Barney, Inc. to
assist in the development of a physician practice acquisition and management
strategy, including the development of financing alternatives for such
contemplated acquisitions.  The Company has entered into a letter of intent to
purchase and manage the assets of a leading oncology-hematology practice, and
expects that further acquisitions will be forthcoming. However, there are no
assurances that the Company will successfully consummate the acquisition of
this or any additional practices. The Company is currently evaluating means of
optimally financing these acquisitions, and it is contemplated that such
acquisitions will be financed through combinations of cash, debt, and equity. 
Accordingly, the Company will evaluate possible offerings of its Common Stock
in public or private markets as means of raising additional equity capital. 


No material commitments for capital expenditures existed as of September 30,
1995.

Item 2.          Changes in Securities

                 On November 1, 1995, an amendment to the Company's charter was

                 number of authorized shares from 60,000,000 shares, $.002 par
                 value, to 30,000,000 shares, $.01 par value, with a
                 corresponding reclassification to which each issued and
                 outstanding share will be reclassified, converted and changed
                 into one-fifth (1/5) of an issued and outstanding share.  The

                 the Company's charter (i) decreasing the number of shares of

                 shares, par value $.01 per share, with a corresponding
                 reclassification of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
                 which each share of issued and outstanding Common Stock of the
                 Company held by each holder thereof will be reclassified,
                 converted and changed into one-fifth (1/5) of an issued and
                 outstanding share of Common Stock, with each fractional share
                 resulting from such conversion being redeemed by the Company
                 for cash; and (ii) changing the name of the Company to
                 "Response Oncology, Inc." Holders of 34,927,615 shares were
