The completion of the audit of the Syncor International Corporation Employees’ Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 will be delayed because the Plan’s trustee for 2001, North Star ESOP & Fiduciary Services, and T. Rowe Price, the recordkeeper for the Plan, are still finalizng the reconciliation of released shares as of December 31, 2001 within the ESSOP sub-accounts. North Star has informed Syncor that it expects to have everything balanced by July 8, 2002. As a result, Syncor’s independent auditors, KPMG LLP, has informed us that it cannot complete the audit in time for Syncor to file the Form 11-K by July 1, 2002.
A copy of the letter from North Star explaining the problem is attached as Exhibit A. A copy of the letter from KPMG LLP explaining why it cannot complete its audit before July 1, 2002 is attached as Exhibit B.

Dear Ed:
This is to confirm our understanding regarding the timing of our audit procedures related to Syncor International Corporation Employees' Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan). As of the date of this letter, we have not received certain supporting documents required to complete our audit of the Plan. We anticipate receiving such documentation within the next two weeks from your service provider, therefore we are not able to complete our procedures and issue our report prior to the filing deadline of June 29, 2002 for the Form 11-K. Based on the aforementioned, we recommend that you file for an extension of time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
KPMG LLP
