Note A - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for
the six 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 March 31, 1996 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, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1996 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. During
fiscal 1995, the Company sold Medifac and MEDIQ Imaging Services. In the fourth
quarter, the Company revised the plan to include the operations of HealthQuest,
Inc., which is anticipated to be sold in fiscal 1996. As a result, operating
results and net assets of these businesses have been reported as discontinued
operations. Discontinued operations also include the Company's equity investment
in InnoServ Technologies, Inc. ("InnoServ", formerly MMI Medical, Inc.), which
is anticipated to be distributed to the Company's shareholders during fiscal
1996. 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.

In February 1996, the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of
Mobile X-Ray to a subsidiary of Long-Term Care Services, Inc. The transaction is
subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including receipt of
regulatory notifications and approvals. The transaction is expected to be
completed prior to June 30, 1996. The Company anticipates that the disposal
of Health Examinetics and HealthQuest will be completed in fiscal 1996. The
estimated loss on the sale of these operations was recorded in fiscal 1995.

The investment in discontinued operations as of March 31, 1996 consisted of (in

                                                             =======

Note E - Long-Term Debt

Under the terms of the Company's 7.25% subordinated 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. In October and November 1995, the Company
repurchased an aggregate of $11.25 million of its debentures at a discount in
the open market and through a private transaction, which resulted in a pretax
gain of $1.5 million, or $1.0 million net of taxes. This gain was recorded as an
extraordinary item in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations. The Company is required to either repurchase or redeem $11.25
million of debentures prior to June 30, 1996 and semi-annually thereafter until
all of the debentures are repurchased or stockholders' equity is more than $40
million. As of March 31, 1996, $22.5 million of the debentures have been
classified as a current liability.

In December 1995, the Company's $13.4 million revolving credit facility was
extended to December 1996 and increased to $15.0 million with interest reduced
to the prime rate plus 1/2%. In addition, as amended, the facility will be
reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of
certain discontinued operations and certain other assets. As of March 31, 1996,
$12.3

                                       8

<PAGE>

million was outstanding under this facility which was included in Notes Payable
to Financial Institutions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note F - Stock Options

In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company granted stock options to
acquire 100,000 and 980,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share and $4.53
per share, respectively, to 35 officers and managers of the Company and certain
subsidiaries, including 250,000 options to Mr. Thomas E. Carroll, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer.

Note G - Restructuring Charge

In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a restructuring charge
of $2.2 million for employee severance costs incurred in connection with a plan
approved by the Board of Directors to downsize corporate functions and
consolidate certain activities with the operations of MEDIQ/PRN. The plan is
expected to result in the termination of 29 employees in fiscal 1996. The
Company anticipates reductions in corporate expenses of approximately $1.3
million in 1996 and $2.0 million annually thereafter as a result of the
downsizing and consolidation of corporate activities.

Note H - Acquisition

On January 31, 1996, SpectraCair, a 50% owned joint venture of MEDIQ/PRN,
acquired certain rental assets from Bio Clinic Corporation, a subsidiary of
Sunrise Medical, Inc.. The Company advanced $3.3 million to the joint venture to
fund this acquisition. SpectraCair repaid the advance with interest at the prime
rate plus 2% in April 1996. This acquisition expanded the joint venture's
business of renting air therapy mattress systems throughout the United States.

Note I - Purchase of Warrant

In February 1996, the Company purchased a warrant issued by MEDIQ/PRN Life
Support Services, Inc. in 1992 to a lender in connection with a financing for an
acquisition. The warrant provided for the purchase of up to 2.5% of the common
stock of MEDIQ/PRN Life Support Services, Inc. for a period of seven years for
nominal consideration. The purchase price of the warrant was $1.6 million. The
excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the warrant resulted in
a net charge to income in the second quarter of 1996 of $625,000 or $.03 per
share.

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, 1996 and results of operations for the three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included elsewhere herein and the Management's
Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statement sections of the Company's
September 30, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K to which the reader is directed
for additional information.

Some of the information presented herein constitutes forward looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable
assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations,
there can be no assurances that actual results will not differ materially from
its expectations.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted a plan to sell its
non-core businesses: MEDIQ Mobile X-Ray Services, Inc., MEDIQ Imaging Services,
Inc., Medifac, Inc., and Health Examinetics, Inc. In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1995, the Company expanded its plan to include the operations of
HealthQuest, Inc. These operations, in addition to the Company's equity
investment in InnoServ Technologies, Inc. (formerly MMI Medical, Inc.), which is
anticipated to be distributed to the Company's shareholders in fiscal 1996, are
reported as discontinued operations.

In June 1995, the Company sold Medifac and related assets to the management of
Medifac for approximately $11 million, consisting of $6 million in cash and $5
million in notes, and the assumption of $26.9 million of non-recourse debt.

In August 1995, the Company sold the assets of MEDIQ Imaging to NMC Diagnostic
Services, Inc., a division of W.R. Grace & Co., for approximately $17 million in
cash and the assumption of $9.7 million of debt.

In February 1996, the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of
Mobile X-Ray to a subsidiary of Long-Term Care Services, Inc. The transaction is
subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including receipt of
regulatory notifications and approvals. The transaction is expected to be
completed prior to June 30, 1996. The Company anticipates that the disposal
of Health Examinetics and HealthQuest will be completed in fiscal 1996.

The Company anticipates that the disposal of Health Examinetics and HealthQuest
will be completed in fiscal 1996.


Results of Operations

Second Quarter 1996 Compared with Second Quarter 1995

        Revenues were $37.0 million for the second quarter of 1996, and were 
consistent with the prior year quarter.  Revenue growth attributable to 
disposable products, outsource services and sales of equipment was offset by 
lower equipment rentals as a result of the lack of a sustained flu season.

        Operating income was $10.1 million, or 27% of revenues for the second
quarter of 1996, which was consistent with the prior year quarter. Operating
income was adversely affected by lower margins associated with the increase in
sales of disposable products and equipment and increased depreciation expense
related to an increase in rental equipment. This decrease was partially offset
by reductions in corporate overhead in the amount of $573,000 primarily as a
result of the reduction in corporate personnel in connection with the corporate
restructuring in the first quarter of 1996. The Company expects this trend of
decreased corporate overhead to continue throughout fiscal 1996.

        Interest expense decreased 9% to $6.8 million for the second quarter of
1996 from $7.5 million, primarily as a result of a net reduction in 

                                       10

indebtedness.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the 
interest rate of MEDIQ/PRN's $100 million senior secured notes from 11-1/8% to
12-1/8% effective October 1, 1995.

        The Company's equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates was 
$2.3 million, as compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period.  The 
increase was primarily attributable to the improved operating results of PCI.

Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with Six Months Ended March 31, 1995

        Revenues were $69.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to $68.9 million in the prior year period. Revenue growth attributable
to disposable products, outsource services and sales of equipment was offset by
lower equipment rentals as a result of the lack of a sustained flu season.

        Operating income decreased to $12.9 million, or 19% of revenues, for the
current period, as compared to $14.9 million, or 22% of revenues, in the prior
year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to a
restructuring charge of $2.2 million, recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
1996, for employee severance costs incurred in connection with a plan approved
by the Board of Directors to downsize corporate functions and consolidate
certain activities with the operations of MEDIQ/PRN. Operating income was also
adversely affected by lower margins associated with the increase in sales of
disposable products and equipment and increased depreciation expense related to
an increase in rental equipment. This decrease was offset by reductions in
corporate overhead of $1.0 million primarily as a result of the reduction in
corporate personnel in connection with the corporate restructuring plan
discussed above. The Company expects this trend of decreased corporate overhead
to continue throughout fiscal 1996.

        Interest expense decreased 10% to $13.4 million for the current period
from $14.9 million, primarily as a result of a net reduction in indebtedness.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the interest rate of
MEDIQ/PRN's $100 million senior secured notes from 11-1/8% to 12-1/8% effective
October 1, 1995.

        The Company's equity in earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates was 
$3.8 million as compared with $2.1 million in the prior year period.  The 
increase was primarily attributable to the improved operating results of PCI.

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 $7.3 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $2.2 million in the prior year
period. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily
attributable to a higher level of collections of accounts receivable in the
current period, partially offset by other working capital fluctuations.
Cash flows from operations in the prior year period were adversely affected by
the increase in accounts receivable attributable to the growth in MEDIQ/PRN's
business with the KCI acquisition. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had cash of
$3.1 million and a working capital deficit of $14.5 million. Current liabilities
as of March 31, 1996 include $22.5 million representing the portion of the 7.25%
subordinated convertible debentures expected to be repurchased by December 31,
1996.

                                       11

<PAGE>

        Net cash used in investing activities consisted principally of capital
expenditures for equipment of $9.8 million, an advance to the SpectraCair joint
venture of $3.3 million and the purchase of the MEDIQ/PRN warrant for $1.6
million. Cash provided by investing activities included proceeds from the
disposal of equipment of $2.9 million and collections on a note receivable from
the sale of discontinued operations of $1.5 million.

        Net cash provided by financing activities resulted from borrowings of
$22.2 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.6 million,
partially offset by debt repayments of $19.1 million.

        Under the terms of the Company's 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. In October and November 1995, the Company
repurchased an aggregate of $11.25 million of its debentures at a discount in
the open market and through a private transaction. The Company is required to
either repurchase or redeem $11.25 million of debentures prior to June 30, 1996
and semi-annually thereafter until all debentures are repurchased or
stockholders' equity is more than $40 million. Through May 13, 1996, the Company
reduced its June 1996 obligation through the purchase of approximately $3.0
million of its debentures at a discount in the open market and through private
transactions. As of March 31, 1996, $22.5 million of the debentures have been
classified as a current liability.

        In December 1995, the Company's $13.4 million revolving credit facility
was extended to December 1996 and increased to $15.0 million with interest
reduced to the prime rate plus 1/2%. In addition, as amended, the facility will
be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of
certain discontinued operations and certain other assets. As of March 31,
1996, $12.3 million was outstanding under this facility. In addition, the
Company has $10.2 million outstanding under an additional revolving credit
facility and a line of credit aggregating $16.0 million. The amount of available
credit on the additional revolving credit facility fluctuates based upon the
amount of eligible accounts receivable.

        The Company believes that its primary source of liquidity for operating
activities will continue to be generated through cash flows from MEDIQ/PRN and
the sale of discontinued operations and miscellaneous assets. The Company
believes that sufficient funds will be available from operating cash flows and
the sale of assets to meet the Company's anticipated operating and capital
requirements, including obligations to redeem or repurchase a portion of the
7.25% subordinated convertible debentures. In addition, the Company recently
signed a letter of understanding with a major European bank to provide funds to
refinance a significant portion of its debt (including MEDIQ/PRN's 12-1/8%
senior secured notes due 1999), but there can be no assurances that such
refinancing will occur.
