       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)

Note A - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash 
flows for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 have 
been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring 
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, 
results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 1993 and for 
all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto 
included in the Company's September 30, 1993 Annual Report on 
Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended 
December 31, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the operating 
results for the full year.

Note B - Inventories

Inventories which consist primarily of parts and supplies are 
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or 
market.

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, 
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which supersedes SFAS No. 96.  The 
Company adopted SFAS No. 96 in fiscal 1990.  The effect of the

not significant for the three months ended December 31, 1993.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion addresses the financial condition 
of the Company as of December 31, 1993 and results of operations 
for the three month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.  
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
Management's Discussion and Analysis section included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (pages 11-17) to which the 
reader is directed for additional information.

     Prior year segment information has been restated to conform 
to the present year presentation.

Results of Operations

     Revenues were $40.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 
1994, as compared to $42.0 million in the prior year period, 
exclusive of revenues of $4.1 million from operations sold in 
fiscal 1993.  MEDIQ/PRN's revenues for the first quarter of 
fiscal 1994 decreased 5%, to $18.9 million, as compared to 1993 
revenues of $19.8 million.  This decrease reflects lower volume 
of business in the acute care hospital sector of the industry.  
MEDIQ/PRN is mitigating such impact by continued expansion into 
the home healthcare and alternative care markets and increased 
operating efficiencies.  Revenues from the Diagnostic Imaging 
Services Group for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 of $10.2 
million were consistent with the prior year.  This segment 
experienced an increase in procedures, particularly ultrasound 
and nuclear imaging services as a result of geographic expansion 
through acquisitions, while reductions in third party 
reimbursement rates adversely impacted revenues for the quarter.  
Revenues from MEMS increased 11% to $4.6 million as a result of continued 
growth in its Asset Management Program and new services for MRI equipment.  
Revenues from the Company's other operating activities were $6.2 million 
in the current quarter, as compared to $11.5 million in the prior year period.
The decrease in revenues of $5.3 million from these activities was 
primarily attributable to divestitures in 1993.

     Costs and expenses increased $2.6 million, or 7%, to $39.2 
million, as compared to $36.6 million in the prior year period,
exclusive of costs and expenses of $4.3 million from operations sold in fiscal
1993. The increase was primarily attriubutable to increased volume of the
Diagnostic Imaging Services Group.

     Operating income decreased to $1.3 million, or 3% of 
revenues, for the first quarter of fiscal 1994, as compared to 
$5.2 million, or 11% of revenues, in the prior year quarter.  The 
decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the 
Company's core businesses, MEDIQ/PRN and the Diagnostic Imaging 
Services Group.  MEDIQ/PRN's operating income decreased $2.3 
million, or 52%.  This decrease resulted from lower revenues from 
acute care hospitals and increased operating and administrative 
expenses.  Operating income from the Diagnostic Imaging Services 
Group for the first quarter of 1994 decreased $1.8 million 
reflecting additional costs associated with increased volume 
combined with the reduction in reimbursement rates.  Operating 
income from MEMS increased to $.1 million, as compared to a loss 
of $.4 million in the prior year quarter, as a result of 
increased revenues associated with the Asset Management Program 
and new services for MRI equipment.  Operating income from other operating 
activities decreased by $.4 million.  This decrease was primarily 
attributable to Medifac's operations which experienced delays in 
constructions projects.
<PAGE>
     Interest expense increased 7% to $6.2 million for the first 
quarter of fiscal 1994 from $5.8 million as a result of increased 
borrowings associated with the expansion of MEDIQ/PRN and the 
Diagnostic Imaging Services Group.

     Pretax loss from continuing operations was $1.7 million for 
the first quarter of fiscal 1994, as compared to income of $2.7 
million in the prior year period.  The Company recorded a pretax 
gain of $1.9 million ($1.4 million net of taxes) in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1994 relating to the Company's investment in New West
Eyeworks, Inc. representing proceeds from a divestiture in fiscal 1988.  
New West Eyeworks, Inc. completed an initial public offering in December 1993.
In connection with such offering, the Company received cash in the amount of 
$1.9 million and stock with a fair market value of $1.0 million.  Pretax 
income in the prior year quarter included income of $2.2 million, representing 
an equity participation related to the issuance of common stock by 
PCI Services, Inc. ("PCI").

     The Company's equity in the earnings of its unconsolidated 
subsidiaries, PCI and NutraMax Products, Inc. was $.9 million in 
the first quarter of fiscal 1994, as compared to $.8 million in 
the prior year period.

Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rates were disproportionate 
compared to the statutory rate as a result of goodwill 
amortization, earnings of the Company's equity investments and 
the non-recognition of certain operating losses for state income 
tax purposes.

     Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the 
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which supersedes 
SFAS No. 96.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 96 in fiscal 1990.  
The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 109 upon the provision for 
income taxes was not significant for the three months ended December 
31, 1993.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million in 
the current quarter, as compared to $7.3 million in the prior 
year period.  The decrease was principally a result of lower 
earnings for the current quarter.  As of December 31, 1993, the 
Company had working capital of $19.6 million, including cash and 
cash equivalents of $16.3 million.  Subsequent to December 31, 
1993, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of its 
6% convertible debentures utilizing $11.6 million of its 
available cash and cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 1993, 
the Company had $2.9 million outstanding under available lines of 
credit totalling $14.0 million.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $3.7 million and 
consisted principally of capital expenditures for equipment of 
$2.8 million and the acquisition of businesses of $1.6 million.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million and consisted of
borrowings of $2.9 million offset by repayments of $4.2 million and dividends
of $.6 million.

     The Company believes that the combination of its existing 
working capital, anticipated funds to be generated from 
operations and the sale of assets, together with existing credit 
facilities will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating and 
capital needs.  Depending upon future growth of the Company's 
core businesses, additional financing may be required.
