recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 1995 and for all periods
presented have been made.

NOTE C -- RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
     On January 20, 1995, the Company announced the formation of a Special
Committee of the Board of Directors for the purpose of exploring alternative
ways to maximize shareholder value. Among those matters to be considered by the
Special Committee are the possible sale of all or substantially all of the 
stock or assets of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its
equity investments to a buyer or group of buyers, which may include
members of the management of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Special
Committee retained the investment banking firm of Lazard, Freres & Co. to
act as its exclusive financial advisor to assist it in considering these
alternatives.
 
     On March 14, 1995, the Company announced that it had received an offer from
members of the Company's management to acquire all of the outstanding common and
preferred stock and repay or assume all debt of the Company and its subsidiaries
in a transaction valued at approximately $437 million. The offer was referred to
the Special Committee for review. The offer proposed to pay stockholders $6.87
per share of common and preferred stock consisting of $4.00 in cash and $2.87,
representing the current market value, as of that date, on a per share basis of 
the Company's publicly-traded equity interests and the face value of the note 
receivable from Mental Health Management, Inc.
 
     On March 17, 1995, the Company announced that the Special Committee
reviewed the offer that was made March 14, 1995 by the Company's management and
recommended that the Board of Directors reject the offer as inadequate.
 
     On April 13, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
accepted the recommendation of its Special Committee rejecting management's
offer to acquire the Company as being inadequate. In accepting the Special
Committee recommendation, the Board of Directors consulted with its investment
banker, Lazard, Freres & Co. The Company also stated that it will continue to
solicit offers for the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including
MEDIQ/PRN and has directed Lazard, Freres & Co. to continue its efforts in
this regard. In addition, the Company announced that it entered into an
agreement to sell Medifac, Inc., the Company's healthcare facility planning,
design and project management subsidiary, and certain real estate, to the
management group of Medifac for an aggregate sale price of $11.8 million.
The Company also announced that it is focusing on the sale of its non-core 
businesses including Health Examinetics, Inc., MEDIQ Mobile X-Ray Services, 
Inc. and MEDIQ Imaging Services, Inc.

NOTE F -- SALE OF ASSETS
 
     In April 1995, the Company sold its investments in New West common stock
and preferred stock for an aggregate consideration of $3.0 million resulting in
a pretax loss of $1.1 million ($.7 million, or $.03 per share, net of taxes).
The loss is reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1995.
 
NOTE G -- LONG-TERM DEBT

     Under the terms of its 7.25% convertible debentures due 2006, the Company
is required to offer to repurchase a portion of the debentures if stockholders'
equity is $40 million or less at the end of two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Since June 30, 1994, the Company's stockholders' equity has been less than $40
million. The requirement to repurchase debentures at December 31, 1994 and June
30, 1995 has been satisfied through the Company's previous acquisition of $23.3
million principal amount of debentures. If stockholders' equity continues to be
less than $40 million, the Company will be required to repurchase approximately
$10.5 million of debentures on December 31, 1995 and $11.25 million of
debentures semi-annually thereafter until all debentures are repurchased or
stockholders' equity is more than $40 million. As of March 31, 1995, $10.5
million of the debentures have been classified as a current obligation.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
     The following discussion addresses the financial condition of the Company
as of March 31, 1995 and its results of operations for the three and six months
ended March 31, 1995, compared with the same periods last year. This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis
section (pages 12-18) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
     In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted a plan to sell
four non-core businesses, Medifac, Inc., Health Examinetics, Inc., MEDIQ Mobile
X-Ray Services, Inc. and MEDIQ Imaging Services, Inc., within twelve months. 
As a result, operating results of these businesses have been reported as 
discontinued operations in the current and prior year periods.

     On September 30, 1994, the Company acquired the critical care and life
support medical rental equipment inventory and certain other assets of Kinetic
Concepts, Inc. ('KCI'), a competitor of MEDIQ/PRN, for a purchase price of
approximately $88 million, including transaction costs and the assumption of
certain capital lease obligations. MEDIQ/PRN accounted for 96% of revenues 
from continuing operations in the current periods.
 
     In August 1994, the Company merged its MEDIQ Equipment and Maintenance
Services, Inc. ('MEMS') subsidiary with MMI Medical, Inc. ('MMI'), and the
Company received approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of MMI common
stock. The Company accounts for its investment in MMI under the equity method of
accounting.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     MEDIQ/PRN's business is seasonal, with demand historically peaking in
the winter months or the Company's second fiscal quarter. Accordingly, the
Company's operating results from continuing operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Second Quarter 1995 Compared with Second Quarter 1994
 
     Revenues were $37.3 million for the second quarter of 1995, as compared to
$28.1 million in the prior year quarter. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues increased to $35.9
million from $20.9 million in the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
KCI acquisition, which resulted in increased rental volume to existing customers
and an expanded customer base. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues were also affected by 
increases in certain rental prices. Revenues from the Company's other operating 
activities decreased to $1.5 million in the current quarter, as compared to $7.1
million in the prior year quarter, which included $5.0 million of revenues from 
MEMS, which was merged with MMI in August 1994.
 
     Operating income increased to $10.0 million, or 27% of revenues for the
second quarter of 1995, as compared to $3.4 million, or 12% of revenues in the
prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable
to MEDIQ/PRN which experienced a $7.8 million increase in operating income to
$11.8 million, reflecting additional revenues and improved operating margins
as a result of the KCI acquisition. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in operating income from the Company's other operating activities
of $.4 million.

                                       10

<PAGE>

 
     Interest expense increased 47% to $7.5 million for the second quarter of
1995 from $5.1 million as a result of increased borrowings associated with the
expansion of MEDIQ/PRN.
 
     The Company's equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates of $1.1
million in 1995 was consistent with the prior year quarter.
 
     Pretax income from continuing operations was $3.2 million for the second
quarter of 1995, as compared to a pretax loss of $.1 million in the prior year
quarter. The current period reflects a pretax loss of $1.1 million related to 
the Company's investments in New West common stock and preferred stock which 
were sold in April 1995 for aggregate consideration of $3.0 million.

    Revenues and operating income from discontinued operations increased to
$23.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, as compared to $16.9 million and
$1.6 million in the prior year period. Net income from discontinued operations
was $.3 million for the current quarter (net of a reserve for the estimated net
loss on disposal of $.7 million), as compared to $.5 million in the prior year
quarter. The Company anticipates selling these operations within twelve months.
Estimated operating results from discontinued operations for the period
April 1, 1995 through the expected date of disposal are reflected in the
estimated loss on disposal of $.7 million recognized in the second quarter.

 
Six Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared with Six Months Ended March 31, 1994
 
     Revenues were $69.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 1995, as
compared to $53.7 million in the prior year period. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues were
$66.6 million, an increase of $26.7 million from the prior year period,
primarily attributable to the KCI acquisition. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues were
also affected by increases in certain rental prices. Revenues from the Company's
other operating activities decreased to $3.0 million in the current period,
as compared to $13.7 million in the prior year period, which included
revenues of $9.6 million from MEMS, which was merged with MMI in August 1994.
                                                    
     Operating income increased to $14.5 million, or 21% of revenues, for the
current period, as compared to $4.2 million, or 8% of revenues, in the prior
year period. The increase in operating income was attributable to MEDIQ/PRN
which continued to experience additional revenues and improved operating
margins in connection with the KCI acquisition. This increase was partially
offset by a decrease in operating income from the Company's other operating
activities of $.8 million.
 
     Interest expense increased 41% to $14.9 million for the current period from
$10.6 million as a result of increased borrowings associated with the expansion
of MEDIQ/PRN.
 
     The Company's equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates of $2.0
million was consistent with the prior year period.
 
     Pretax income from continuing operations was $1.7 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to a pretax loss of $1.7 million in
the prior year period. The current period reflects a pretax loss of $1.1 
million related to the Company's investments in New West common stock and 
preferred stock which were sold in April 1995. The prior year period included 
a pretax gain of $1.9 million relating primarily to its investment in New West
which completed an initial public offering in December 1993.
 
     Revenues and operating income from discontinued operations increased to
$41.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, from $31.8 million and $2.2 
million in the prior year period. Net income from discontinued operations was
$.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 1995 (net of a reserve for the
estimated net loss on disposal of $.7 million), as compared to $.3 million in 
the prior year period.

INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company's effective tax rate was 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.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995, as compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period. 
Cash flows from operating activities were adversely affected by an increase
in accounts receivables of $16.6 million from September 30, 1994
to March 31, 1995, which resulted primarily from the increase in MEDIQ/PRN's
revenues of approximately $27 million. Cash flows from operating activities for
the remainder of the fiscal year are anticipated to improve as the growth in
accounts receivable stabilizes.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995. Capital expenditures totalled $4.6 million, of which
$1.8 million were financed with long-term debt.
 

                                       11


<PAGE>

     Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1995, and consisted of repayments of notes payable and
long-term debt of $10.7 million, partially offset by borrowings of $9.2 million.
 
     Under the terms of its 7.25% convertible debentures due 2006, the Company
is required to offer to repurchase a portion of the debentures if stockholders'
equity is $40 million or less at the end of two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Since June 30, 1994, the Company's stockholders' equity has been less than $40
million. The requirement to repurchase debentures at December 31, 1994 and June
30, 1995 has been satisfied through the Company's previous acquisition of $23.3
million principal amount of debentures. If stockholders' equity continues to be
less than $40 million, the Company will be required to repurchase approximately
$10.5 million of debentures on December 31, 1995 and $11.25 million of
debentures semi-annually thereafter until all debentures are repurchased or
stockholders' equity is more than $40 million. As of March 31, 1995, $10.5
million of the debentures have been classified as a current obligation.
 
      The Company believes that its existing working capital, anticipated funds
to be generated from operations, and anticipated proceeds from the disposal
of discontinued operations and other assets, together with existing
credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating and capital
needs. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations are anticipated
to be used for working capital purposes and reductions of current and long-term
debt. Depending upon future growth of MEDIQ/PRN, additional financing may be 
required.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     On March 14, 1995, an action was filed in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware by two stockholders against the Company and its directors. The
suit, which seeks status as a class action on behalf of all of the Company's
stockholders, alleges breaches of the fiduciary duties of the directors and the
Company in connection with the proposal submitted to the Board of Directors by a
management group for the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of common and
preferred stock of the Company (see Item 5 below). The class action suit seeks
an injunction to prevent the proposed transaction from being pursued, as well
as compensatory damages and attorney's fees. The Company believes that this suit
is without merit, and is moot because the offer submitted by the management 
group was rejected by the Board of Directors and has expired.
 
     On March 29, 1995, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania by Dr. Jeffrey S. Weisman against the Company,
two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and two employees of the
subsidiaries. The suit alleges that the defendants committed fraudulent
practices and violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and
the so-called 'whistleblower' provisions of the False Claims Act in connection
with the purchase by a subsidiary of the Company of a business formerly owned by
the plaintiff. The suit also alleges that the defendants retaliated against the
plaintiff for questioning alleged fraudulent practices involving the Medicare
system by a subsidiary of the Company. The suit seeks compensatory damages and
punitive damages aggregating in excess of $12,000,000, as well as attorney's
fees and other remedies. The Company intends to vigorously defend this suit.
 
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
 
     On January 20, 1995, the Company announced the formation of a Special
Committee of the Board of Directors for the purpose of exploring alternative
ways to maximize shareholder value. Among those matters to be considered by the
Special Committee are the possible sale of all or substantially all the stock or
assets of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries or its equity investments 
to a buyer or group of buyers, which may include members of the management of 
the Company and its subsidiaries. The Special Committee retained the 
investment banking firm of Lazard, Freres & Co. to act as its exclusive 
financial advisor to assist it in considering these alternatives.
 
     On March 14, 1995, the Company announced that it had received an offer from
members of the Company's management to acquire all of the outstanding common and
preferred stock and repay or assume all debt of the Company and its subsidiaries
in a transaction valued at $437 million. The offer was referred to the Special
Committee for review. The offer proposed to pay stockholders $6.87 per share of
common and preferred stock consisting of $4.00 in cash and $2.87, representing
the current market value, as of that date, on a per share basis of the Company's
publicly-traded equity interests in MMI, NutraMax and PCI, and the face value
of the note receivable from Mental Health Management, Inc. The offer proposes
distributing the equity interests and note either directly to stockholders of
the Company or to a liquidating trust for the benefit of the stockholders of the
Company. The offer was conditioned upon negotiating and executing a mutually
acceptable merger agreement by April 14, 1995, and was subject to certain other
customary conditions including financing, and, among other matters, specifically
encouraged the Special Committee to continue to solicit other acquisition
proposals from interested parties.
 
     On March 17, 1995, the Company announced that the Special Committee
reviewed the offer that was made March 14, 1995 by MEDIQ Acquisition Corp.
to acquire the Company, and recommended that the Board of Directors
reject the offer as inadequate. In determining to recommend
 
                                       13

<PAGE>


that the Board reject the offer, the Special Committee consulted with its
investment bankers, Lazard, Freres & Co. The Special Committee has undertaken a
process to solicit offers for the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
including MEDIQ/PRN, and its equity investments. The Special Committee advised
MEDIQ Acquisition Corp. that it could submit an improved offer as part of that
process.
 
     On April 13, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
accepted the recommendation of its Special Committee rejecting the offer of
MEDIQ Acquisition Corp. to acquire the Company. In accepting the Special
Committee recommendation, the Board of Directors consulted with its investment
bankers, Lazard, Freres & Co. The Company also stated that it will continue to
solicit offers for the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including
MEDIQ/PRN, and has directed Lazard, Freres & Co. to continue its efforts in 
this regard. In addition, the Company announced that it entered into an 
agreement to sell Medifac, Inc., the Company's healthcare facility planning, 
design and project management subsidiary, and certain real estate, to the 
management group of Medifac, headed up by James W. Eastwood, President and 
Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate sale price of $11.8 million. The 
Company also announced that it is focusing on the sale of its non-core 
businesses including Health Examinetics, Inc., MEDIQ Mobile X-Ray Services, 
Inc. and MEDIQ Imaging Services, Inc.
