Item 5.      Other Events

The merger of LabOne, Inc. into Lab Holdings, Inc. became effective August 10,
1999.  The merger was approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of
LabOne at its annual stockholders' meeting held August 9, 1999, and by the
stockholders of Lab Holdings at its annual stockholders' meeting held August
6, 1999.

The combined company stated that $10.7 million would be paid to LabOne
stockholders who made cash elections for 838,000 shares in the merger.  As the
aggregate cash elections did not exceed the $16.6 million maximum cash limit
established in the merger agreement, all LabOne stockholders who made timely
cash elections will receive $12.75 per share for their cash election shares.
All other shares of LabOne common stock were converted into combined company
common stock on a one-for-one basis.  All shares of Lab Holdings were split
1.5 for one immediately prior to the merger.

At the time of the merger, the name of the combined company was changed to
LabOne, Inc.  The officers of the combined company are the officers of the
former LabOne and its board of directors are nine of the former LabOne
directors and three new independent non-management directors.
