Year-to-Date Results Net total revenue for the six months ended June 20, 2002 was $140.4 million, 55.7% lower than net total revenue of $317.0 million for the six months ended June 20, 2001.

Performance Based Contracts The net loss for the three and six month periods included a negative gross profit of approximately $8.9 and $17.6 million, respectively, related to the Company's Evista performance based contract as a result of sales not exceeding contract baselines resulting in no revenues during these periods. PDI expects the Evista program to yield a $7.0 million to $10.0 million negative gross profit in the third quarter of 2002 as the baseline is cumulative and sales of Evista are not expected to exceed the baseline through the first nine months of 2002. PDI further announced that it currently anticipates that revenues over the remaining life of the Evista contract will exceed the future costs associated with the contract. However, PDI will continue to monitor underlying prescription trends. Any adverse development in prescription 2 trends could require the Company to book a reserve with respect to this contract and could have a material adverse impact on PDI's results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. Charles T. Saldarini, Chief Executive Officer of PDI, Inc. commented, "We are disappointed with our second quarter results which were adversely impacted by operating losses attributable to our Evista and Lotensin performance based contracts. The Lotensin program was restructured during the quarter to provide for incremental promotion of both Lotrel and Diovan. We believe that this will result in a successful promotional effort for all three Novartis products. Evista was the major contributor to our loss for the quarter and we are carefully monitoring this program. Current prescription trends are encouraging and may further benefit from the release in early July of studies by the Women's Health Initiative and the National Cancer Institute highlighting new risks associated with hormone replacement therapy." Saldarini continued, "On a brighter note, we are encouraged by our new business development efforts and the progress in our medical device and diagnostics unit."
