ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

     Omnicare, Inc. (the "Company" or "Omnicare") was incorporated in Delaware
on May 19, 1981 to conduct certain health care businesses contributed to it by
W. R. Grace & Co. and Chemed Corporation, and in July 1981 public trading of 
the Company's Common Stock commenced.  As part of a multi-year restructuring 
program undertaken in 1985, the Company, through a series of divestitures and
acquisitions, redeployed all of its capital in the long-term pharmacy business.
As a result, Omnicare is today a leading independent provider of pharmacy
services to long-term care institutions such as nursing homes, retirement
centers and other institutional health care facilities.  The Company operates
principally in one business segment--institutional pharmacy services for the
long-term care market.  At December 31, 1994, Omnicare provided these services
to approximately 147,600 residents in 1,725 nursing facilities located in the
States of Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, and West Virginia.  The
Company does not make any export sales.

     The Company entered the long-term care pharmacy industry in December 1988
with the acquisition of its first institutional pharmacy provider.  By December
31, 1994, the Company had completed a total of 24 acquisitions in the long-term
care pharmacy market at a total capital investment of approximately $213
million.  In 1994, the Company acquired seven institutional pharmacy providers
at an aggregate capital cost of approximately $87 million and expended an
additional $17.6 million in cash payments relating to acquisitions completed
prior to 1994.

PHARMACY SERVICES

     Omnicare purchases, repackages and dispenses prescription and
non-prescription medication in accordance with physician orders and delivers
such prescriptions at least daily to the nursing facility for administration to
individual patients by the facility's nursing staff.  Omnicare typically
services nursing homes within a 150-mile radius of its pharmacy locations.
Omnicare maintains a 24-hour, on-call pharmacist service 365 days per year for
emergency dispensing and delivery or for consultation with the facility's staff
or attending physician.

     Upon receipt of a prescription, the relevant patient information is
entered into Omnicare's computerized dispensing and billing systems.  At that
time, the dispensing system will check the prescription for any potentially
adverse drug interactions or patient sensitivity.  When required and/or
specifically requested by the physician or patient, branded drugs are
dispensed; generic drugs are substituted in accordance with applicable state
and federal laws and as requested by the physician or patient.  The Company
also provides therapeutic interchange, with physician approval, in accordance
with the Company's pharmaceutical care guidelines.  See "Omnicare Guidelines"
below.





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
     Omnicare provides a "unit dose" distribution system.  Most of its
prescriptions are filled utilizing specialized unit-of-use packaging and
delivery systems.  Maintenance medications are typically provided in 30-day
supplies utilizing either a box unit dose system or unit dose punch card
system.  The unit dose system, preferred over the bulk delivery systems
employed by retail pharmacies, improves control over drugs in the nursing
facility and improves patient compliance with drug therapy by increasing the
accuracy and timeliness of drug administration.

     Integral to Omnicare's drug distribution system is its computerized
medical records and documentation system.  Omnicare provides to the facility
computerized medication administration records, physician's order sheets and
treatment records for each patient.  Data extracted from these computerized
records are also formulated into monthly management reports on patient care and
quality assurance.  The computerized documentation system in combination with
the unit dose drug delivery system results in greater efficiency in nursing
time, improved control, reduced drug waste in the facility and lower error
rates in both dispensing and administration.  These benefits improve drug
efficacy and result in fewer drug-related hospitalizations.

CONSULTANT PHARMACIST SERVICES

     Federal and state regulations mandate that nursing facilities, in addition
to providing a source of pharmaceuticals, retain consultant pharmacist services
to monitor and report on prescription drug therapy in order to maintain and
improve the quality of patient care.  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
("OBRA") implemented in 1990 seeks to further upgrade and standardize care by
setting forth more stringent standards relating to planning, monitoring and
reporting on the progress of prescription drug therapy as well as facility-wide
drug usage.

     Omnicare provides consultant pharmacist services which help clients comply
with such federal and state regulations applicable to nursing homes.  The
services offered by Omnicare's consultant pharmacists include:  (i)
comprehensive, monthly drug regimen reviews for each patient in the facility to
assess the appropriateness and efficacy of drug therapies, including a review
of the patient's medical records, monitoring drug reactions to other drugs or
food, monitoring lab results and recommending alternate therapies or
discontinuing unnecessary drugs; (ii) participation on the Pharmacy and
Therapeutics, Quality Assurance and other committees of client nursing
facilities as well as periodic involvement in staff meetings; (iii) monthly
inspection of medication carts and storage rooms; (iv) monitoring and monthly
reporting on facility-wide drug usage and drug administration systems and
practices; (v) development and maintenance of pharmaceutical policy and
procedures manuals; and (vi) assistance to the nursing facility in complying
with state and federal regulations as they pertain to patient care.

     Additionally, Omnicare offers a specialized line of consulting services
which help nursing facilities to enhance care and reduce and contain costs as
well as to comply with state and federal regulations.  Under this service line,
Omnicare provides: (i) data required for OBRA and other regulatory purposes,
including reports on psychotropic drug usage (chemical restraints), antibiotic
usage (infection control) and other drug usage; (ii) Plan of Care programs
which assess each patient's state of





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
health upon admission and monitor progress and outcomes using data on drug
usage as well as dietary, physical therapy and social service inputs; (iii)
counseling related to appropriate drug usage and implementation of drug
protocols; (iv) on-site educational seminars for the nursing facility staff
on topics such as drug information relating to clinical indications, adverse
drug reactions, drug protocols and special geriatric considerations in drug
therapy, and information and training on intravenous drug therapy and updates
on OBRA and other regulatory compliance issues; (v) mock regulatory reviews for
nursing staffs; and (vi) nurse consultant services and consulting for dietary,
social services and medical records.

OMNICARE GUIDELINES

     In June 1994, to enhance the pharmaceutical care management services that
it offers, Omnicare introduced to its client nursing facilities and their
attending physicians the Omnicare GERIATRIC PHARMACEUTICAL CARE GUIDELINES(TM)
(THE OMNICARE GUIDELINES(TM)) which it believes is the first clinically-based
formulary for the elderly residing in long-term care institutions.  THE
OMNICARE GUIDELINES presents an analysis ranking specific drugs in therapeutic
classes as Preferred, Acceptable or Unacceptable based solely on their
disease-specific clinical effectiveness in treating the elderly in nursing
facilities.  The formulary takes into account such factors as pharmacacology,
safety and toxicity, efficacy, drug administration, quality of life and other
considerations specific to the frail elderly population residing in nursing
facilities.  The clinical evaluations and rankings were developed exclusively
for the Company by the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, an
academic institution recognized for its expertise in geriatric long-term care.
In addition, THE OMNICARE GUIDELINES provides relative cost information
comparing the prices of the drugs to patients, their insurers or other payors
of the pharmacy bill.

     As THE OMNICARE GUIDELINES focuses on health benefits, rather than solely
on cost, in assigning rankings the Company believes that use of THE OMNICARE
GUIDELINES will assist physicians in making the best clinical choices of drug
therapy for the patient at the lowest cost to the payor of the pharmacy bill.
The Company also believes that the development of and subsequent compliance
with THE OMNICARE GUIDELINES will lower costs for the patients it serves and
strengthen the Company's purchasing power with pharmaceutical manufacturers.

ANCILLARY SERVICES

     Omnicare provides the following ancillary products and services to nursing
facilities:

INFUSION THERAPY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.  With cost containment pressures in
health care, nursing facilities are increasingly providing subacute care as a
means of treating moderately acute but stabilized patients more cost-
effectively than hospitals, provided that the nursing staff and pharmacy are 
capable of supporting higher degrees of acuity.  Omnicare provides infusion
therapy support services for such residents in its client nursing facilities
and, to a lesser extent, hospice and home care patients.  Infusion therapy
consists of the product (a nutrient, antibiotic, chemotherapy or other drugs in
solution) and the intravenous administration of the product.





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
     Omnicare prepares the product to be administered using proper equipment in
a sterile environment and then delivers the product to the nursing home for
administration by the nursing staff.  Proper administration of intravenous
("IV") drug therapy requires a highly trained nursing staff.  Omnicare's
consultant pharmacists and nurse consultants operate an education and
certification program on IV therapy to assure proper staff training and
compliance with regulatory requirements in client facilities offering an IV
program.

     By providing an infusion therapy program, Omnicare enables its client
nursing facilities to admit and retain patients who otherwise would need to be
cared for in an acute-care facility.  The Company believes that by providing
these high acuity pharmacy services it has a competitive advantage over other
pharmacy providers.  The most common infusion therapies Omnicare provides are
total parenteral nutrition, antibiotic therapy, chemotherapy, pain management
and hydration.

WHOLESALE MEDICAL SUPPLIES/MEDICARE PART-B BILLING.  Omnicare distributes
disposable medical supplies, including urological, ostomy, nutritional support
and wound care products and other disposables needed in the nursing home
environment.  In addition, Omnicare provides direct Medicare billing services
for certain of these product lines for patients eligible under the Medicare
Part B program.  As part of this service, Omnicare determines patient
eligibility, obtains certifications, orders products and maintains inventory on
behalf of the nursing facility.  Omnicare also contracts to act as billing
agent for certain nursing homes that supply these products directly to the
patient.

OTHER SERVICES.  Omnicare also provides respiratory therapy products and
durable medical equipment for its clients in certain of its market areas.
Omnicare continues to review the expansion of these as well as other products
and services that may further enhance the ability of its client nursing
facilities to care for their residents in a cost-effective manner.

PRODUCT AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT

     Omnicare's pharmacy business engages in a continuing program for the
development of new services and the marketing thereof.  While new service and
new market development are important factors for the growth of this business,
Omnicare does not expect that any new service or marketing effort, including
those in the developmental stage, will require the investment of a material
portion of Omnicare's assets.

MATERIALS/SUPPLY

     Omnicare purchases pharmaceuticals through a wholesale distributor with
whom it has a prime vendor contract and, on an increasing basis, under
contracts negotiated directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers.  The Company
also is a member of industry buying groups which contract with manufacturers
for discounted prices based on volume which are passed through to the Company
by its wholesale distributor.  The Company has numerous sources of supply
available to it and has not experienced any difficulty in obtaining
pharmaceuticals or other products and supplies used in the conduct of its
business.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

     Omnicare's business operations are not dependent upon any material
patents, trademarks or licenses.

INVENTORIES

     Omnicare's pharmacies maintain adequate onsite inventories of
pharmaceuticals and supplies to ensure prompt delivery service to its
customers.  Inventories on hand are not considered to be high by industry
standards.  The Company's primary wholesale distributor also maintains local
warehousing in most major geographic markets in which the Company operates.

COMPETITION

     By its nature, the long-term care pharmacy business is highly regionalized
and, within a given geographic region of operations, highly competitive.  In
the geographic regions it serves, Omnicare competes with numerous local retail
pharmacies, local and regional institutional pharmacies and pharmacies owned by
long-term care facilities.  Omnicare competes in this market on the basis of
quality, cost-effectiveness and the increasingly comprehensive and specialized
nature of its services along with the pharmaceutical technology and
professional support it offers.

     In its program of acquiring institutional pharmacy providers, the Company
competes with several other companies with similar acquisition strategies, some
of which may have greater resources than the Company.

     No individual customer or market group is critical to the total sales of
the Company's long-term care pharmacy business.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The health care industry in which the Company operates is subject to
government regulation on the federal and state levels.  Omnicare continuously
monitors the effects of such regulatory activity on its operations.  The
nursing home pharmacy business has long operated under regulatory cost
containment pressures from both state and federal legislation primarily through
Medicaid and, to a lesser extent, Medicare.  Approximately one-half of the
Company's revenues are derived from Medicaid and Medicare programs.  Medicaid
has long-established programs for reimbursement which have over time been
revised and refined and have not had a material adverse effect on the pricing
policies or receivables collection for nursing home pharmacy services.  Any
future changes in such reimbursement programs or in regulations relating
thereto, such as reductions in the allowable reimbursement levels or the timing
of processing of payments, could adversely affect the Company's business.

     Over the past two years, numerous plans for federally-mandated health care
reform have been proposed, but none of these proposals has been adopted.  While
the processes by which federal or state governments may pursue alternative
proposals for reform of the health care system are uncertain, market forces in
the form of managed care continue to challenge health care providers to provide
high quality care while reducing or





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
containing costs.  Management believes that the need to lower health care costs
will drive further industry consolidation which may be beneficial to the
Company's acquisition program.  In addition, the Company's development of
significant regional market positions provides opportunities for economies of
scale to lower overall costs.

     Pharmaceutical therapy is generally considered the most cost-effective
form of treatment for chronic ailments afflicting the elderly and, as such, is
an essential part of long-term care. Omnicare believes that it is
well-positioned to be an integral part of national and state initiatives to
address escalating health care costs among the elderly through the Company's
careful product selection (including drug formulary management and the provision
of pharmacy consulting services), cost-effective drug purchasing and efficient
delivery systems.  Nevertheless, the Company continues to carefully monitor
national and state healthcare reform issues as they evolve and will make
refinements to its business strategies or practices which may become necessary
or desirable in view of any significant changes in government regulations or
reimbursement policies.

     Institutional pharmacies as well as the long-term care facilities they
serve are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation.  These
regulations cover required qualifications, day-to-day operations and the
documentation of activities.  All of the Company's pharmacies are licensed in
the states in which they operate and are registered with the appropriate
federal authorities pursuant to the regulation of controlled substances.
Client nursing facilities are also separately required to be licensed in the
states in which they are operating and, if serving Medicaid or Medicare
patients, must be certified by the federal government.

     Client nursing facilities are also subject to the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1987 ("OBRA") which has been in the process of
implementation since 1990.  Under OBRA, more stringent requirements have been
set forth for nursing homes to qualify for federal funding which impose new,
higher quality standards for nursing home operations.  While the future impact
of the continued implementation of this legislation cannot be predicted, the
Company believes the legislation has benefitted specialized providers of
professional services to nursing homes, such as institutional pharmacy services
providers, which can offer higher quality, more sophisticated services in a
cost-effective manner along with assistance in compliance with these
regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     In operating its facilities, Omnicare makes every effort to comply with
pollution control laws.  No major difficulties have been encountered in
effecting compliance.  No material capital expenditures for environmental
control facilities are expected.  While Omnicare cannot predict the effect
which any future legislation, regulations, or interpretations may have upon its
operations, it does not anticipate any changes that would have a material
adverse impact on its operations.

DIVIDENDS

     Reflecting the Company's financial position and operating performance, on
February 3, 1993 and on February 8, 1994 the Board of Directors elected to
increase the quarterly cash dividend by $.005 to $.04 and $.045 per share,
respectively, for an indicated annual rate of $.16  and $.18, respectively.  On
February 1, 1995, the quarterly cash dividend was increased to $.05 per share,
for an indicated annual rate of $.20 per share in 1995.  It is presently
intended that cash dividends will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis;
however, future dividends are necessarily dependent upon the Company's earnings
and financial condition and other factors not currently determinable.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     On September 30, 1994, the Company issued 1,111,322 shares of its common
stock for all the outstanding common stock of Kirkland, Washington-based
Evergreen Pharmaceutical, Inc., and an affiliated company (collectively,
"Evergreen").  Evergreen is a leading provider of institutional pharmacy
services for long-term care facilities in the Pacific Northwest with $34
million in sales for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The acquisition was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Company's
consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods presented
herein to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flow
of Evergreen (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  In
accordance with accounting rules for pooling of interests transactions, a
nonrecurring charge to operating income for acquisition-related expenses was
recorded in 1994.

     Income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of nonrecurring
items, for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased 43% to $15,266,000, or
$1.38 per share ($1.32 fully diluted), from $10,661,000, or $1.02 per share,
for the year ended December 31, 1993.  For the year ended December 31, 1993,
income from continuing operations, excluding nonrecurring items, increased 90%
to $10,661,000, or $1.02 per share, from the $5,618,000, or $.55 per share,
earned in 1992.  The results for 1994 include a nonrecurring charge to
operating income of $2,380,000, or $1,860,000 after taxes ($.17 per primary





                                       14

share), for acquisition-related expenses recorded in the third quarter of 1994
in connection with the Company's acquisition of Evergreen.

     In 1993, the Company recorded one-time favorable cumulative tax
adjustments of $730,000, or $.07 per share, consisting of $450,000, or $.04 per
share, arising from a change in tax laws related to the amortization of
intangibles as well as $280,000, or $.03 per share, related to the change in
accounting for income taxes.  Additionally, net income and earnings per share
from continuing operations for 1992 include an aftertax charge of $368,000, or
$.04 per share, related to the write-off of Omnicare's minority interest in
Datacare, Inc., a privately-held hospital computer systems company, which filed
bankruptcy in 1992.  The investment in Datacare was a passive investment held
since 1983 and was unrelated to Omnicare's current operations.

     In total, including nonrecurring items, discontinued operations, and the
effect of the accounting change, net income for 1994 was $13,406,000, or $1.21
per share ($1.19 fully diluted), while 1993 net income was $11,391,000, or
$1.09 per share, and 1992 net income was $13,960,000, or $1.36 per share.

     Sales for 1994 of $275,663,000 were 42% higher than the $193,704,000
recorded in 1993.  For 1993, sales of $193,704,000 were 47% higher than the
$131,867,000 recorded in 1992.  Omnicare entered the long-term pharmacy
business with its first acquisition of an institutional pharmacy provider in
December 1988.  Since that date, Omnicare has completed twenty-three additional
acquisitions - two in 1990, three in 1991, seven in 1992, four in 1993 and
seven in 1994.  Except for the acquisitions of Evergreen and Lo-Med
Prescription Services, Inc. ("Lo-Med"), purchase accounting was used to record
the acquisitions.  The acquisition of Evergreen in 1994 is included in the
financial results of all years presented as this acquisition was accounted for
as a pooling of interests.  The acquisition of Lo-Med was also accounted for as
a pooling of interests; however, its operations were immaterial to the
Company's results of operations prior to 1994 and, therefore, prior year
financial statements were not restated for this business combination.  These
acquisitions (described in detail in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) coupled with the internal growth of the businesses
previously acquired led to the significant sales increases.

     Increases in gross profit over the three-year period have generally
remained in line with sales, with margins fluctuating between 27.4% and 28.6%
during the three-year period.  Such fluctuations generally reflect the changes
in sales mix resulting from acquisition activity.  However, after excluding
nonrecurring items, operating income as a percent of sales has increased
significantly over the period from 8.9% to 9.7% to 10.6% in 1992, 1993 and
1994, respectively.  While sales and gross profit have grown significantly over
the three-year period, corporate and operating expenses have grown at a much
smaller pace resulting in a general decline in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales over this period, which
reflects the Company's substantial operating leverage.

         Over the past two years, numerous plans for federally-mandated health
care reform have been proposed, but none of these proposals has been adopted.
While the processes by which the federal or state governments may pursue
alternate proposals for reform of the health care system are uncertain, market
forces in the form of managed care continue to challenge health care providers
to provide high quality care while reducing or containing costs.  Management
believes that the need to lower health care costs will drive further industry





                                       15
<PAGE>   16
consolidation which should add impetus to the Company's acquisition program.
In addition, the Company's development of significant regional market positions
provides opportunities for economies of scale to lower overall costs.

         Moreover, demographic trends indicate that demand for long-term care
will increase well into the middle of the next century.  Pharmaceutical therapy
is generally the most cost-effective form of treatment for chronic ailments
afflicting the elderly and, as such, is an essential part of long-term care.
Omnicare believes that it is well-positioned to be an integral part of the
solution to escalating health care costs among the elderly through careful
product selection (including drug formulary management), cost-effective drug
purchasing and efficient delivery systems.  This, coupled with Omnicare's
pharmacy consulting services for nursing homes which identify, resolve and
prevent drug therapy related problems, reduces costs to the health care system
while also promoting optimal patient outcomes.  Thus, Omnicare should continue
to show solid growth in sales and earnings in 1995, benefiting from a full
year's contribution from businesses acquired in 1994, from internal growth and
from the completion of additional acquisitions.

NON-OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE

     Investment income increased by 149% to $1,580,000 in 1994 as the Company
received the benefit of a significant invested cash balance for all of 1994 due
to the receipt of the cash proceeds from the offering of $80.5 million in 5.75%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 ("Notes") in October 1993 and the
receipt of $59.2 million of proceeds from the November 1994 stock offering.
Investment income nearly tripled in 1993 to $635,000 as the Company's invested
cash balances grew in the fourth quarter owing to the receipt of proceeds from
the sale of the Notes.

     Interest expense increased by $3,473,000 in 1994 as a result of a full
year's interest on the Notes as compared with only three months in 1993.
Interest expense remained relatively stable in 1993 when compared with 1992
levels.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company's effective tax rates for 1992, 1993 and 1994 were 42.0%,
35.1% and 40.3%, respectively.  All years were favorably impacted due to income
generated by Evergreen Pharmaceutical East, Inc., an S corporation, which was
not subject to tax.  The 1994 effective tax rate is slightly higher than
statutory rates primarily due to the nondeductibility of certain acquisition
expenses.  As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the
Company was permitted to deduct from taxable income amortization of intangibles
arising from certain business acquisitions retroactive to July 1991.
Accordingly, the Company's effective tax rate in 1993 was favorably impacted by
the tax benefit of amortization of intangibles.  The effective tax rate of
42.0% in 1992 was higher than statutory rates, primarily because of the
nondeductibility of the amortization of intangibles during that period.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Significant financial data related to the December 1992 sale of the
Veratex Group of businesses are set forth in Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     Inflation has not materially affected Omnicare's profitability inasmuch as
price increases have generally been obtained to cover inflationary drug cost
increases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In November 1994, the Company completed a public offering of 1,623,741
shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $59,211,000.

     In line with Omnicare's plan to redeploy capital into the long-term care
pharmacy market, seven acquisitions were completed during 1994 requiring an
aggregate capital investment of approximately $87 million.  Such acquisitions
were primarily financed from cash and cash equivalents on hand, except with
respect to the acquisitions of Evergreen, Lo-Med Prescription Services, Inc.
and UniCare, Inc., for which the Company issued 1,111,322, 370,932 and 75,378
shares of common stock, respectively.  Additionally, $17.6 million of other
acquisition-related payments were made during 1994 related to businesses
acquired prior to 1994.  Additional amounts totalling $16.6 million may become
payable through 1998 pursuant to the terms of various acquisition agreements.
The 1994 acquisition-related cash outlays have been funded primarily through
proceeds from the issuance of the $80.5 million in Notes in 1993.  Omnicare
ended the year with $79,596,000 in cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities as compared to $63,276,000 at year-end 1993.  At December 31, 1994,
the Company had invested $31,260,000 in U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase
agreements which represent investments under agreements to resell, usually
overnight, but in no case longer than thirty days.  The Company has a
collateralized interest in the underlying securities which are segrated in the
accounts of the counterparty bank.  Management believes these investments do
not create any exposure to the Company's liquidity.  Omnicare's current ratio
increased substantially to 4.4 to 1 at December 31, 1994 from 3.0 to 1 at
December 31, 1993, and working capital at December 31, 1994 increased to
$125,076,000 from year-end 1993 working capital of $79,713,000.  This increase
is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the public stock offering.  Book
value per common share increased to $14.14 per share as of December 31, 1994
from $9.75 per share at the prior year-end, primarily attributable to the
public stock offering proceeds and also secondarily, due to the increase in
equity resulting from the growth in net income less dividends paid.

     On February 1, 1995, Omnicare's Board of Directors elected to increase the
quarterly cash dividend by 11% to 5 cents per share for an indicated annual
rate of 20 cents per share for 1995.

     In February 1995, the Company reached an agreement with a consortium of
six banks to replace its current $50 million revolving credit facility with a
new, five-year $135 million revolving credit facility.  Interest rates and
commitment fees for this new facility are based on the Company's level of
performance under certain debt covenants and are expected to result in
significantly lower fees and borrowing costs as compared with the former
agreement.  No amounts were outstanding at December 31, 1994 under the credit
facility.

     Management believes that Omnicare's capital requirements can be met with
the proceeds of the 1994 public stock offering, the currently unused $135
million revolving credit facility and the cash flow from existing as well as
acquired businesses.  If needed, other external sources of financing are





                                       17
<PAGE>   18
readily available to the Company.  There are no material commitments
outstanding at December 31, 1994 other than the acquisition-related payments
which may be made contingent on the performance of businesses acquired (see
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                       ---------------------------------        

To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors of Omnicare, Inc.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors with
respect to 1993 and 1992, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the
related consolidated statements of income, cash flow and stockholders' equity
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Omnicare,
Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of
their operations and their cash flow for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  We did not audit the combined financial
statements of Evergreen Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Evergreen Pharmaceutical East,
Inc. (collectively, "Evergreen") as of December 31, 1993 and for the years
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, which statements reflect total assets of
$12,210,000 at December 31, 1993 and total revenues of $34,130,000 and
$28,873,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been
furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the
1993 and 1992 amounts included for Evergreen, is based solely on the report of
the other auditors.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

     As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company changed
its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        Omnicare, Inc. ("Company") operates in one business segment which
includes the distribution of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy management
services and medical supplies for long-term care institutions and their
residents.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries as well as 50% of the accounts of
Heartland Healthcare Services, a 50/50 partnership between the Company and
Health Care and Retirement Corporation which began operations in 1994.  All
significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

        The Company considers all investments in highly liquid instruments with
maturities of three months or less at the date purchased to be cash
equivalents.  Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost which
approximates market with any associated purchase discount or premium amortized
over the period to maturity.

     Marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury obligations maturing in
1995 and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  The fair values
are based on quoted market prices.  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  Under the
new rules, debt securities that the Company has both the intent and ability to
hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Debt securities that the
Company does not have the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified
either as "available-for-sale" or as "trading" and are carried at fair value.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had no investments that qualified as
available-for-sale or trading.

INVENTORIES

        Inventories consist primarily of purchased pharmaceuticals and medical
supplies held for sale to customers and are stated at the lower of cost or
market.  Cost is generally determined using the average cost and first-in,
first-out methods.


PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

        Properties and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures for
maintenance, repairs, renewals and betterments that do not materially prolong
the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense.  Depreciation of
properties and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the lesser of the lease terms, including renewal options, or their useful
lives.




                                      24
<PAGE>   25
INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS

      Intangible assets arise from business combinations accounted for as
purchase transactions and are amortized using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives, not in excess of forty years.

      On an annual basis, the Company reviews the recoverability of the
intangible assets.  The measurement of possible impairment is based primarily
on the ability to recover the balance of the intangible assets from expected
future operating cash flow on an undiscounted basis.  In management's opinion,
no such impairment exists at December 31, 1994.

      Debt issuance costs are included in other assets and are amortized on the
straight-line method over the life of the related debt.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Revenue is recognized when products or services are provided to the
customer.  A significant portion of the Company's revenues from sales of
pharmaceutical and medical products are reimbursable from Medicaid and Medicare
programs.  The Company monitors its receivables from these reimbursement
sources under policies established by management and reports such revenues at
the net realizable amount expected to be received from these third-party
payors.

INCOME TAXES

      The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and local income
taxes currently payable and those deferred because of differences between
income for financial reporting and income for tax purposes.

      Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income Taxes," on a prospective basis; SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an
asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.

PER SHARE DATA

      Primary earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Common stock
equivalents are not material.  Fully diluted earnings per share include common
stock equivalents and assume the conversion of the 5.75% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2003 into common stock.  Additionally, interest expense
and amortization of debt issuance costs arising from convertible securities are
added, net of related income taxes, to income for the purpose of calculating
fully diluted earnings per share.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform
with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

      Since 1989, the Company has been involved in a program to acquire
providers of pharmaceutical and related pharmacy management services and
medical supplies to long-term care facilities and their residents.

<TABLE>

      On September 30, 1994, the Company issued 1,111,322 shares of its common
stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Evergreen Pharmaceutical, Inc.
and Evergreen Pharmaceutical East, Inc. ("EPE") (collectively, "Evergreen").
The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly,
the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated for all
periods prior to the acquisition to include the results of operations,
financial position, and cash flow of Evergreen.  In accordance with accounting
rules for pooling of interests transactions, a nonrecurring charge to operating
income for acquisition-related expenses was recorded in the third quarter of
1994.  Net sales and net income for the individual entities are as follows (in
thousands):

($1,860,000 after taxes).  Net income, excluding the nonrecurring
acquisition-related expenses, was $8,951,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.
</TABLE>


     During 1994, the Company completed seven acquisitions including Care
Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. in Griffith, Indiana and Schaufler Prescription
Pharmacy in Belleville, Illinois, in March; Weber Medical Systems, Inc. in
Skokie, Illinois and Lo-Med Prescription Services, Inc.  (Lo-Med) in Wadsworth,
Ohio, in June; UniCare, Inc. in Montgomery, Alabama, in August; and Lawrence
Medical Supply, Inc. in Deerfield, Illinois and Evergreen in Kirkland,
Washington, in September.  Lo-Med was acquired in a pooling of interests
transaction for 370,932 shares of common stock and accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements include the results of Lo-Med effective
January 1, 1994.  The impact of the Lo-Med transaction on the Company's
historical financial statements is not significant; consequently, prior-year
financial statements have not been restated for this transaction.

      During 1993, the Company completed four acquisitions including Freed's
Pharmacy, Inc. in Overland Park, Kansas, in March and Kansas City





                                       26
<PAGE>   27
Nursing Services, Inc. in Kansas City, Kansas, Enloe Drugs, Inc., in Decatur,
Illinois, and Anderson Medical Services, Inc., in Dover, Ohio, all in the
fourth quarter.

      During 1992, the Company completed seven acquisitions including Westhaven
Services Co. in Toledo, Ohio, in October; Pharmacare, Inc., and an affiliated
company in Louisville, Kentucky, in April and five other nursing home pharmacy
providers in the second and third quarters:  PRN Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.,
in Indianapolis, Indiana; Home Pharmacy Services, Inc., in Belleville,
Illinois; Ross Drug, Inc., in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Interlock Pharmacy Systems in
St. Louis, Missouri; and Crystal Care Corporation in Ashland, Kentucky.

<TABLE>
      Except for Evergreen and Lo-Med, each of the foregoing acquisitions was
accounted for as a purchase.  The purchase prices have been allocated to the
estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired.  The
following table summarizes the aggregate purchase price for all businesses
acquired which have been accounted for under the purchase method (in

      Amounts payable in the future are subject to set-off for claims of
indemnity.  Payments contingent on future growth totalled $16.6 million at
December 31, 1994, and will be recorded as additional purchase price, serving
to increase intangible assets in the period in which the contingencies are
resolved.  The 1994 acquisitions carry certain pre-acquisition contingencies
which will be resolved within one year of the transaction and which aggregate
$1.3 million at December 31, 1994.  The excess of purchase price over the fair
value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is being amortized
over periods not in excess of forty years.

      Warrants outstanding at December 31, 1994 represent the rights to purchase
270,000 shares of common stock and were issued in connection with certain
acquisitions.  These warrants can be exercised at anytime through 1997 at
prices ranging from $26.86 to $33.15 per share.  Warrants to purchase 50,000
shares of common stock, issued in prior years, were exercised in 1994.

NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      On December 21, 1992, the Company sold the stock of its Veratex Group of
businesses, excluding Labtronics, Inc., to Chemed Corporation ("Chemed"), then
a 27% stockholder, for $63,650,000 in cash.  As a result of this sale, the
Company decided to divest Labtronics, Inc., a bio-medical engineering business,
and completed that disposition in 1993.  These operations comprised the entire
medical and dental products segment of the Company's business.  The $5.2
million gain on these divestitures is net of taxes and expenses associated with
the transaction and the write-down of the assets of Labtronics, Inc. to their
estimated net realizable values.

      The financial statements reflect the operating results of these
businesses along with the net gain arising from their disposition as
discontinued operations.  Significant financial data for the year ended

      On October 1, 1993, the Company issued $80,500,000 principal amount of
5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes ("Notes") due 2003.  The Notes are
convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder at a
price of $28.875 per share.  The Notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company beginning in October 1996, at redemption prices ranging from 103.83% of
the principal amount in 1996 to 100.64% in 2001 and 100% thereafter.  Absent
conversion of the Notes into common stock or redemption by the Company at its
election as described above, the Notes are due on October 1, 2003.  Interest on
the notes is payable semiannually, due in October and April of each year, until
conversion or redemption.  Debt issuance costs are included in other assets and
amortized using the straight-line method over the ten-year life of the Notes.
The Company amortized $310,000 and $77,000 of deferred debt issuance costs in
1994 and 1993, respectively.  Based on the market value of the Notes in the
last over-the-counter trade prior to year-end, the estimated fair value of the
Notes at December 31, 1994 is $125,000,000.  The fair value of all other
financial instruments of the Company approximates the amounts presented on the
consolidated balance sheet.

      In 1988, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") which currently covers certain acquired entities' employees and all of
the corporate headquarters employees.  The ESOP used proceeds from a $4 million
bank loan to purchase 493,437 shares of the Company's common stock on the open
market at prices ranging from $7.75 to $8.50 per share.  Inasmuch as the
Company has guaranteed the repayment of this obligation, it has recorded the
ESOP's bank debt as long-term debt and also as a reduction of stockholders'
equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

      The ESOP services its debt with Company contributions, which were
previously made to the Company's Employee Savings & Investment Plan, and
dividends received on shares held by the ESOP.  Principal and interest payments
on the bank debt are made in increasing quarterly installments over a ten-year
period, the final payment being due on December 31, 1998.  The loan bears

      At December 31, 1993, $2,074,000 was outstanding and $1,453,000 was
available for borrowing under the Evergreen line of credit.  The interest rate
charged equaled 1/2 of 1% over the bank's prime rate (6.5% at December 31,
1993).  Amounts outstanding under the line of credit were repaid and the line
was closed during 1994.

      Other notes payable represented various obligations incurred specific to
Evergreen operations.  The weighted average interest rate on the notes
approximated 8.6% for the periods presented.  Included in other notes payable
are notes due to the former owners of Evergreen for $871,000 as of December 31,
1993.  These obligations were repaid in 1994.

      At December 31, 1994, the Company had a $50 million unsecured revolving
credit agreement with two banks which expires on January 1, 1996.  No amounts
were outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest based upon the bank's cost of
funds plus a spread of 1/2 of 1% on the first $25 million of borrowings and a
spread of 3/4 of 1% on the second $25 million of borrowings, or the prime rate.
The average daily borrowings outstanding during 1993 were $4.9 million, at a
weighted average annual interest rate of 3.9%.  The Company was required to pay
a commitment fee of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the facility.
In February 1995, the Company reached an agreement with a consortium of six
banks for a new, five-year $135 million revolving line of credit.  Borrowings
under this agreement bear interest based upon the bank's cost of funds plus a
spread of 1/4 of 1% to 3/4 of 1%, dependent upon the Company's performance
under certain debt covenants, or the prime rate.  Additionally, a commitment
fee on the unused portion of the facility is required which ranges from 1/10 of
1% to 1/4 of 1% also based upon the Company's performance under certain debt
covenants.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The Company contracted with a division of Chemed, a 6% stockholder, to
assist in the development of a new data processing system to integrate and
standardize all operational and financial reporting functions.  The Company
also subleases its corporate offices from Chemed and is charged for the
occasional use of Chemed's corporate aviation department and other incidental
expenses based on Chemed's cost.  The Company believes that the method by which
such charges are determined is reasonable and that the charges are essentially
equal to that which would have been incurred if the Company had operated as an
unaffiliated entity.  Charges to the Company for these services were
$2,951,000, $1,624,000 and $764,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

      Included in accounts receivable are amounts due from other companies
affiliated with the former owners of Evergreen.  These amounts, net of
payables, totalled $850,000 and $894,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

      Included in other assets as of December 31, 1993 are advances to a
company affiliated with the former owners of Evergreen of $421,000.  These
advances were paid in 1994.

      Effective May 1, 1993, Evergreen leased one of its facilities from a
partnership, a partner of which is a former owner of Evergreen.  Rent expense
of $569,000 was paid under this lease in 1994, (1993-$437,000).

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    The Company has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan covering
certain corporate headquarters employees and the employees of the Veratex Group
of businesses (through the December, 1992 sale of Veratex).  Benefits accruing
to Veratex employees ceased upon the sale of Veratex.  Benefits accruing under
this plan to corporate headquarters employees were fully vested and frozen as
of January 1, 1994.

    Retirement benefits are based primarily on an employee's years of service
and compensation near retirement.  Plan assets are invested in U.S. Treasury
obligations.  The Company's policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with
the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

      Pension costs were determined based on the projected unit credit
actuarial cost method using an assumed 8% discount rate and expected long-term
rate of return on assets.  A 6% rate of increase in compensation levels was
assumed in years prior to 1994.

      A gain of $170,000 was recognized in 1994 as a result of the freezing of
the plan benefits.  The gain on the sale of the Veratex Group recorded in 1992
and discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included income of $1,045,000 related to the curtailment of the benefits
attributable to the Veratex employees in the pension plan.

      Expenses relating to the Company's defined contribution and other similar
plans (including the ESOP described in Note 7 and including amounts charged to
discontinued operations) were $1,381,000, $824,000 and $593,000 in 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively.

      In 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits".  The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 permitted the Company to
deduct from taxable income the amortization of intangibles arising from certain
business acquisitions occurring subsequent to July 1991.  The effect of this
change in tax law was to reduce 1993 income tax expense by $310,000 for the
period July 1991 through December 31, 1992 and by an additional $140,000 for the
portion of 1993 prior to enactment of the law.

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, which
requires the use of an asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.  The cumulative effect of this adoption resulted in a gain of $280,000
($.03 per share) and was otherwise not material to the Company's financial
position or results of operations, on a historical or pro forma basis.

     Income tax payments made in 1994, 1993 and 1992 amounted to $5,723,000,
$10,892,000 and $2,335,000, respectively.
