Note A - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for
the nine months then ended 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 June 30, 1995 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, 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Note B - Discontinued Operations

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 and net assets of these businesses have been reported
as discontinued operations. The Company's prior year consolidated financial
statements have been restated to report the net assets and operating results of
these businesses as discontinued operations.

On June 27, 1995, the Company sold Medifac, Inc., a healthcare facility
planning, design and project management firm, and related assets to the
management of Medifac for approximately $11.0 million, consisting of $6.0
million in cash and $5.0 million in notes. The sale resulted in a net loss which
is included in the estimated net loss on the disposal of the non-core businesses
aggregating $.7 million recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

Summary operating results of discontinued operations, exclusive of the estimated
net loss on the disposal, were as follows (in thousands):

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.
The Company's efforts in this regard are continuing.

Note D - Inventories

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

Note G - Long-Term Debt

Under the terms of the 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. Based upon the Company's equity as of
June 30, 1995, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase approximately
$10.5 million of debentures on December 31, 1995. Thereafter, if stockholders'
equity continues to be less than $40 million, the Company will be required to
offer to repurchase approximately $11.25 million of debentures semi-annually
until all debentures are repurchased or stockholders' equity is more
than $40 million. As of June 30, 1995, $21.75 million of the debentures have
been classified as current obligations.

Note H - Subsequent Events

In August 1995, the Company sold the assets of MEDIQ Imaging Services, Inc., 
the Company's mobile and fixed site ultrasound and nuclear imaging business to
National Medical Care, Inc., a division of W.R. Grace, Inc., for approximately
$18 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $10 million of debt.
                    
In July 1995, the Company settled a lawsuit filed on March 29, 1995 by Dr.
Jeffrey S. Weisman.

           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 June 30, 1995 and its results of operations for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 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 and nine months
ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter 1995 Compared with Third Quarter 1994

     Revenues were $33.3 million for the third quarter of 1995, as compared to
$24.8 million in the prior year quarter. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues increased to $32.7
million from $18.1 million in the third 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 approximately $5.0 million as a result of the merger of MEMS with MMI
in August 1994.

     Operating income increased to $5.9 million for the third quarter of 1995,
as compared to a loss of $.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in
operating income was primarily attributable to MEDIQ/PRN which experienced a
$5.7 million increase in operating income to $7.2 million, reflecting additional
revenues and improved operating margins as a result of the KCI acquisition.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     Interest expense increased 40% to $7.3 million for the third quarter of
1995 from $5.2 million as a result of increased borrowings associated with the
KCI acquisition.

     Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased to $.2 million
for the third quarter of 1995 from $1.0 million in the prior year quarter
primarily as a result of the Company's equity in the net loss of MMI of $1.0
million. MMI reported a net loss of $2.6 million in its fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1995 which reflected reserves associated with equipment, inventories 
and the planned relocation of its corporate headquarters.

     The pretax loss from continuing operations was $.8 million for the third
quarter of 1995, as compared to a pretax loss of $3.9 million in the prior year
quarter.

     Revenues and operating income from discontinued operations increased to
$22.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as compared to $19.0 million and
$.8 million in the prior year quarter. 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 of 1995. The Company sold Medifac, Inc., a
healthcare facility planning, design and project management firm, and related
assets to the management of Medifac for approximately $11.0 million, consisting
of $6.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in notes. The sale resulted in a net
loss which is included in the estimated net loss on disposal of the non-core
businesses.

 Nine Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared with Nine Months Ended June 30, 1994

     Revenues were $102.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, as
compared to $78.5 million in the prior year period. MEDIQ/PRN's revenues were
$99.2 million, an increase of $41.3 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 approximately $14.0 million as a result of
the merger of MEMS with MMI in August 1994.

     Operating income increased to $20.4 million, or 20% of revenues, for the
current period, as compared to $4.1 million, or 5% 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
$.7 million.

     Interest expense increased 41% to $22.2 million for the current period from
$15.8 million as a result of increased borrowings associated with the KCI
acquisition.

     The Company's equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates was $2.1
million as compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the Company's equity in the net loss of MMI of
$1.2 million.

     Pretax income from continuing operations was $.9 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to a pretax loss of $5.5 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
$63.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, from $50.8 million and $3.0
million in the prior year period. Net income from discontinued operations was
$.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 (net of a reserve for the
estimated net loss on disposal of $.7 million), as compared to $.2 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.

Recent Events

     In August 1995, the Company sold the assets of MEDIQ Imaging Services, 
Inc., the Company's mobile and fixed site ultrasound and nuclear imaging 
business to National Medical Care, Inc., a division of W.R. Grace, Inc., for 
approximately $18 million in cash and the assumption of approximately 
$10 million of debt.

     In July 1995, the Company settled a lawsuit filed on March 29, 1995 by Dr.
Jeffrey S. Weisman.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash provided by operating activities was $14.3 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $7.7 million in the prior year period. The
increase in cash flow from operations was attributable to MEDIQ/PRN's improved
operating results as a result of the KCI acquisition.

     Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.4 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995. Proceeds from the sale of assets were $13.1 million,
including $6.4 million from the sale of Medifac. Capital expenditures were $8.4
million, of which $1.3 million were financed with long-term debt.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $17.6 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995, and consisted of repayments of notes payable and long-term
debt of $22.7 million, partially offset by borrowings of $5.1 million.

     Under the terms of the 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. Based upon the Company's equity as of
June 30, 1995, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase approximately
$10.5 million of debentures on December 31, 1995. Thereafter, if stockholders'
equity continues to be less than $40 million, the Company will be required to
offer to repurchase approximately $11.25 million of debentures semi-annually
until all debentures are repurchased or stockholders' equity is more than $40
million. As of June 30, 1995, $21.75 million of the debentures have been
classified as current obligations.

     The Company believes that its existing working capital, anticipated funds
to be generated from operations, and anticipated proceeds from the disposal of
discontinued operations, 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 sought status as a class action on behalf of all of the Company's
stockholders, alleged 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 sought
an injunction to prevent the proposed transaction from being pursued, as well as
compensatory damages and attorney's fees.  This suit was voluntarily withdrawn 
by the shareholders because the offer submitted by the management group was 
rejected by the Board of Directors and 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 alleged 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 alleged that the defendants retaliated against the
plaintiff for questioning alleged fraudulent practices involving the Medicare
system by a subsidiary of the Company. The suit sought compensatory damages and
punitive damages, as well as attorney's fees and other remedies. The suit was
settled in July 1995 and has been dismissed with prejudice.

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 proposed
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 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.
The Company's efforts in this regard are continuing. The Company also announced
that it is focusing on the sale of its non-core businesses including Medifac,
Inc., Health Examinetics, Inc., MEDIQ Mobile X-Ray Services, Inc. and MEDIQ
Imaging Services, Inc.

On June 27, 1995, the Company sold Medifac, Inc., a healthcare facility
planning, design and project management firm, and related assets to
the management of Medifac for approximately $11.0 million,
consisting of $6.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in notes. The sale
resulted in a net loss which was included in the estimated net loss on
the disposal of the non-core businesses.

On August 11, 1995, the Company sold the assets of MEDIQ Imaging Services,
Inc., the Company's mobile and fixed site ultrasound and nuclear imaging 
business to National Medical Care, Inc., a division of W.R. Grace, Inc., for 
approximately $18 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $10 
million of debt.
