                          Independent Auditors' Report
 
To the Trustees of
MEDIQ Incorporated Employees' Savings Plan
Pennsauken, New Jersey
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for Plan
benefits of the MEDIQ Incorporated Employees' Savings Plan as of September 30,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
Plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended September 30,
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
administrators. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for Plan benefits of the MEDIQ Incorporated
Employees' Savings Plan as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic financial
statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual
funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This
supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's administrators.
This supplemental information by fund has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   MEDIQ INCORPORATED EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The financial statements of the MEDIQ Incorporated Employees' Savings Plan
(the 'Plan') are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Investments are
stated at their September 30 market value. Market values for investments are
determined by closing prices as of the last trading day of the Plan year.
Dividends and interest are recorded when earned. Employee and employer
contributions are recorded in the period to which they are applicable. Benefit
payments are recorded when paid. Brokerage commissions and other expenses
incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, are charged
directly to the Plan. All other costs and expenses of the Plan are paid for by
MEDIQ Incorporated (the 'Company'). Should the Company elect not to pay
administrative expenses, such expenses will be paid by the Plan. Certain
reclassifications have been made to conform prior year's balances to the current
year presentation.
 
B. PLAN DESCRIPTION
 
     The following is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan.
Plan participants should refer to the Plan documents for a complete description
of the Plan. The original effective date of the Plan was October 1, 1983. The
Plan was amended in its entirety effective as of October 1, 1989. Employees are
eligible to join the Plan upon completion of twelve months employment during
which they have worked a minimum of 1,000 hours and are age 21 or older.
Participants may contribute to the Plan from 1% to 15% of their salaries to be
invested, as they choose, in the various funds described in Note C. If the
participant's compensation exceeds $64,245, the contribution is limited to 6%.
 
     The Plan provides that the Company will make a matching contribution equal
to $.50 for each $1.00 contributed by a participant, subject to certain
limitations. The Company's matching contribution is made in cash to be used to
purchase shares of the common stock of the Company for the account of the
participants.
 
     A participant's accrued benefit is at all times fully vested and
nonforfeitable upon death, retirement, disability or termination of employment.
 
     Distributions from the funds, with the exception of the stock fund, are
made in cash. Distributions from the stock fund are in the form of the
securities held; however, distributions of the Company's common stock shall be
made in cash whenever the number of shares to be distributed is 100 or less.
 
C. INVESTMENT OPTIONS
 
     Contributions are invested in accordance with the written directions of the
participant in one or more of the following funds:
 
          1. Savings Fund: The fund seeks maximum current income, preservation
     of capital, and liquidity by investing in a portfolio of money market
     investments that mature in one year or less.
 
                                       
<PAGE>

C. INVESTMENT OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
 
          2. Equity Fund: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and income
     by investing in a portfolio of common stocks. As a secondary objective, the
     fund also seeks a reasonable level of current income.
 
          3. Balanced Fund: The fund objectives are to conserve capital, produce
     reasonable current income and generate capital growth. The fund maintains
     60% to 70% of its assets in stocks and 30% to 40% in fixed income
     securities.
 
          4. Fixed Income Fund: The objective of the fund is to achieve a high
     level of current income. The fund invests in mortgage-backed certificates
     issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
 
          5. Stock Fund: The assets of the stock fund, including earnings
     thereon, are invested in the Company's common stock. A brokerage firm
     purchases the Company's stock at prevailing market rates in the open market
     and, in the normal course of business, sells such stock to meet
     distribution requirements of the Plan. Also included in the stock fund is
     Mental Health Management, Inc. (MHM) common stock, which originated from a
     distribution by the Company. No participant has the option of acquiring
     additional MHM common stock.
 
     Pursuant to the Plan, with the exception of the Company's matching
contributions, the selection of investment options is the sole responsibility of
each participant. Neither the trustees nor the Company have any responsibility
to select investment options or to advise participants in selecting their
investment options. Subject to applicable provisions of law, each participant
assumes all risks connected with any decrease in the market value of any
securities in these funds, and distributions from such funds are the sole source
of Payments made under the Plan.
 
D. INVESTMENTS
 
     The investments of the Plan consist of the following:

I. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
 
     The Plan is administered by Michael F. Sandler, the Plan Administrator, who
has fiduciary responsibility for the general operations of the Plan and may
interpret provisions of the Plan. The Plan Administrator does not have any
responsibilities with respect to the investment of Plan assets.
 
     The Plan's trustees are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company
for indefinite terms and may resign or be removed at any time. The Company
indemnifies such trustees to the extent determined by its Board of Directors. As
of October 1, 1993, the trustees were Michael F. Sandler, Senior Vice President
-- Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Donald M. Gleklen, Senior
Vice President -- Corporate Development, and Eugene M. Schloss, Jr., Secretary,
of the Company. In March 1994, the Company appointed Thomas Carroll, Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of MEDIQ/PRN Life Support Services,
Inc. (a subsidiary of the Company), and Mark Lawlor, Controller and Assistant
Treasurer of the Company, as trustees to replace Mr. Gleklen and Mr. Schloss.
 
     Under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
('ERISA'), each of the above individuals is a 'party-in-interest' and serves
without compensation.
 
     Although the Company expects to continue the Plan, the right to amend or
terminate the Plan is reserved. In the event of Plan termination, the net assets
of the Plan would be allocated as required by ERISA, as amended.
 
J. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The Plan Administrator received a determination letter dated May 15, 1985
from the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') that the Plan met the requirements of
Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code').
Effective October 1, 1989, the Plan was amended in its entirety to conform with
legislative changes. The Plan is seeking a new determination letter from the
IRS. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Code, and that the Plan's related trust is exempt
from federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. As a
result, matching contributions and salary reduction contributions, as well as
earnings on all Plan assets, are generally not subject to federal income tax
until distributed from the Plan.
 
                                       
<PAGE>

     The Plan Administrator must refund excess aggregate contributions and
excess contributions to certain highly compensated employees for the plan year
ended September 30, 1994 to meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Section
401(k) and 401(m) of the Code. The Plan Administrator intends to make the
required distributions prior to September 30, 1995. By making such
distributions, the Plan will be in compliance with applicable IRS rules for the
year ending September 30, 1994. In addition, the Plan Administrator made the
necessary refunds for the year ended September 30. 1993.
 
K. MENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT STOCK DISTRIBUTION
 
     In August 1993, the Company distributed the stock of Mental Health
Management, Inc. ('MHM'), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to
the Company's shareholders. Shareholders received one share of MHM stock for
eight shares of the Company's common and preferred stock. The Plan received
93,990 shares of MHM stock with a fair market value of $4.875 per share on the
date of the distribution.
 
                                      
L. OTHER
 
     In September 1993, MHM established its own Employee's Savings Plan. This
resulted in the distribution of $1,355,785 in cash and 70,665 shares of MEDIQ
common stock with a market value of $4.375 per share, and 8,650 shares of MHM
common stock with a market value of $6.375 per share to 130 employees of MHM in
March 1994.
 
     In October 1992, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain
assets of Harrisburg Healthcare, Inc., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. This resulted in the distribution from the Plan of $202,521 in cash and
16,660 shares of MEDIQ Common Stock with a market value of $5.625 per share, to
55 employees in March 1993.
