"I am pleased to report that the first quarter earnings results are in line with our projections," said Richard Whitney, the Company's CFO. "Our cash collections continue to be strong with $389 million of cash being collected in the first quarter, resulting in a nine day reduction in days sales outstanding (DSO) for our continuing operations. Additionally, operating cash flow was $61 million for the quarter and our cash balance increased by $42 million to $150 million at March 31, 2000."

Continental U.S. DSO as of quarter end was 83 days. This represents a nine-day improvement and was driven entirely by our improved cash collection efforts. Excluding the suspended Florida Medicare laboratory receivables of $34 million, DSO was 75 days.
