                       Report of Independent Accountants
                       ---------------------------------

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

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Omnicare, Inc. and
its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, 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 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 provide a reasonable basis for the 
opinion expressed above.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

    Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare" or the "Company") primarily operates in one 
business segment which includes the distribution of pharmaceuticals, related
pharmacy management services and medical supplies to long-term care
institutions and their residents in the United States.  The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned
subsidiaries.

Cash Equivalents

    Cash equivalents include all investments in highly liquid instruments with
original maturities of three months or less.

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 determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

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 as incurred.  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.

Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Assets

    Intangible assets, comprised primarily of goodwill, arising from business
combinations accounted for as purchase transactions, 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 goodwill. The
measurement of possible impairment is based primarily on the ability to recover
the balance of the goodwill from expected future operating cash flows on an
undiscounted basis.  In management's opinion, no such impairment exists as of
December 31, 1996 or 1995.

                                       6
<PAGE>   10

    Debt issuance costs as of December 31, 1995 are included in other
assets and are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the
related debt.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The fair value of all financial instruments of the Company
approximates the amounts presented on the consolidated balance sheet.

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 Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method
under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of
temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates to differences 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in 
the consolidated financial statements.

Per Share Data

    Primary earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and common stock
equivalents, if material. Fully diluted earnings per share include common stock
equivalents and for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, assumed
the  conversion of the 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 into
common stock. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs arising from
these convertible securities were added, net of related income taxes, to income
for the purpose of calculating fully diluted earnings per share. The
Convertible Subordinated Notes were converted on October 3, 1996; accordingly,
they had no impact on the fully diluted earnings per share calculation
subsequent to that date.
        
                                       7
<PAGE>   11

    The Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of the Company's $1 par
value common stock effective June 27, 1996. As a result of the split, 32,697,700
additional shares were issued including 8,677 from treasury stock.  Paid-in
capital and treasury stock were reduced by $33,147,000 and $458,000,
respectively.

    All references in the consolidated financial statements to the number of
common shares and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock
split unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Change

        Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation."  This statement establishes financial accounting and 
reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted
by SFAS No. 123, the Company continued to follow the measurement principles
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and has disclosed the pro forma impact of using
the fair value measurement principles of SFAS No. 123 in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.

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. The
Company's strategy includes acquisitions of freestanding institutional pharmacy
businesses as well as pharmacy contracts and other assets, generally
insignificant in size, which are combined with existing pharmacy operations to
augment their internal growth.  From time to time, the Company may acquire
other businesses such as long-term care software companies, pharmacy consulting
companies and medical supply companies. To date, none of these non-pharmacy
acquisitions have been significant.


    
                                       8
<PAGE>   12
   During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company completed 18
acquisitions (excluding insignificant acquisitions), including 17       
institutional pharmacy businesses and a long-term care software company.
Seventeen of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and one as a
pooling-of-interests. 
        
   During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company completed 10
acquisitions (excluding insignificant acquisitions), including nine
institutional pharmacy businesses and a long-term care software company. Nine 
of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and one as a pooling-of-
interests.

   During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company completed seven
acquisitions (excluding insignificant acquisitions) of institutional pharmacy
businesses. Five of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and two as
poolings-of-interests.

Purchases
- ---------       

    For all acquisitions accounted for as purchases, including insignificant 
acquisitions, the purchase price paid for each has been allocated to the fair 
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Purchase price 
allocations are subject to final determination within one year after the 
acquisition date.

   The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase price for all
businesses acquired which have been accounted for as purchases (in thousands):

   Cash in the above table represents payments made in the year of acquisition.
This amount differs from cash paid for the acquisition of the businesses in the
consolidated statement of cash flows due primarily to purchase price payments
made during the year pursuant to acquisition agreements entered into in prior
years.

   Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 1996 represent the right to purchase
905,000 shares of common stock and were issued in connection with certain 
acquisitions. These warrants can be exercised at any time through 2002 at
prices ranging from $7.70 to $29.18 per share. Warrants to purchase 407,000
shares of common stock, issued in prior years, were exercised in 1996.

   Amounts contingently payable totaled $19,995,000 as of December 31, 1996
and, if paid, will be recorded as additional purchase price, serving to
increase goodwill in the period in which the contingencies are resolved.
Amounts payable in the future are subject to set-off for claims of indemnity.

   The results of operations of the companies acquired in purchase
transactions have been included in the consolidated results of operations of
the Company from the dates of acquisition.

   Unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, are presented below. Such pro forma
presentation has been prepared assuming that the acquisitions had been made as
of January 1, 1995 (in thousands, except per share data).

   The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of operating
results which would have occurred had the acquisitions been made at the
beginning of the respective periods or of results which may occur in the
future.

Pooling-Of-Interests
- --------------------

   The impact of the 1996 pooling-of-interests transaction and one of the 1994
pooling-of-interests transactions on the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements were not material; consequently, prior period and
current year financial statements have not been restated for these
transactions.

   On June 30, 1995, the Company issued 806,370 shares of its common stock for
all of the outstanding common stock of Specialized Pharmacy Services, Inc.
("Specialized"). On September 30, 1994, the Company issued 4,445,288 shares of
its common stock for all the outstanding common stock of Evergreen
Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Evergreen Pharmaceutical East, Inc. (collectively,
"Evergreen"). These acquisitions were accounted for as poolings-of-
interests and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements
have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisitions to include

Convertible Subordinated Notes
- ------------------------------

     On October 1, 1993, the Company issued $80,500,000 principal amount of
5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes ("Notes") due 2003. The Notes were
convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder at a price
of $7.22 per share.  The remaining Notes were converted in October 1996 into 
10,201,700 shares of common stock. Prior to the October conversion, Notes were
converted into 613,444 shares of common stock during 1996. In connection with
the Notes conversions, the Company recorded the $1.9 million in unamortized
deferred debt issuance costs against the paid-in capital balance for the common

                                       13

stock issued.  The Company amortized $220,000 of deferred debt issuance costs in
1996 (prior to the final Notes conversion) and $310,000 in 1995.

ESOP Loan Guarantee
- -------------------

     In 1988, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
which currently covers certain acquired entities' employees and corporate
headquarters employees.  The ESOP used proceeds from a $4 million bank loan to
purchase 1,973,748 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market at
prices ranging from $1.94 to $2.13 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 and 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
interest at the per annum rate of 7% and is secured by the unallocated shares
of common stock held by the ESOP trust. These unallocated shares had a fair
market value equal to $18,515,000 and $18,230,000 as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

     The Company funds ESOP expense as accrued.  The components of total ESOP
expense are as follows (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility
- -------------------------

     In October 1996, the Company negotiated a five-year, $400 million line of
credit agreement with a consortium of sixteen banks, which replaced the
existing $135 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this
agreement bear interest based upon LIBOR plus a spread of 25 to 60 basis 
points, dependent upon the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, or other
rates negotiated with the banks. Additionally, a commitment fee on the unused
portion of the facility ranges from 9 to 20 basis points, and is also based on
the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The agreement also contains debt
covenants which include the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and minimum
consolidated net worth. The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants
in the agreement. No amounts were outstanding under this agreement as of
December 31, 1996.

Note 7 - Public Offering of Common Stock

     In March 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 5,750,000 shares
(pre-1996 stock split) of common stock resulting in gross proceeds of
$298,281,000 (before underwriting discounts and expenses).

Note 8 - Stock Incentive Plans

     The Company has stock incentive plans under which it may grant stock
options or stock awards to key employees at a price equal to the fair market
value at the date of grant. Under these plans, stock options become exercisable
beginning one year following the date of grant in four equal annual
installments. As of December 31, 1996, 290,084 shares were available for
granting.

         During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved
the 1995 Premium-Priced Stock Option Plan, providing options to purchase
2,520,000 shares of Company common stock available for grant at an exercise
price of 125% of the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. No options
have been granted under this plan.

         Nonvested stock awards are granted to key employees at the discretion
of the Compensation Committee. Nonvested stock awards are restricted as to the
transfer of ownership and vest over 5 to 7 years. Unrestricted stock awards are
granted annually to members of the Board of Directors. The fair value of a stock
award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock at the
grant date.

        Summary information relating to stock award grants is presented 
below:

<PAGE>   20
         When granted, the cost of nonvested stock awards is deferred and
amortized over the vesting period. Unrestricted stock awards are expensed during
the year granted. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the amount of compensation expense
related to stock awards charged against income was $937,000, $506,000 and
$277,000, respectively.

         As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company accounts for stock options and stock awards granted
under these plans according to APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." As a result, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock
options granted under the incentive plans. The fair value of each option at
grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995:
risk-free interest rate of 6%, volatility of 32%, dividend yield of 0.2% and
expected life of 4.2 years. The weighted average fair value at grant date
during 1996 and 1995 was $9.13 and $4.22, respectively. No options were granted
during 1994. 

         Unaudited pro forma data as though the Company had accounted for
stock-based compensation cost in accordance with SFAS No. 123 are as follows
(in thousands, except per share data):

Note 9 - Related Party Transactions

     The Company contracted with a division of Chemed Corporation ("Chemed"), a
1% stockholder, to assist in the development of a new information 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
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $7,139,000,
$4,535,000 and $2,951,000, respectively.  Net amounts owed by the Company to
Chemed as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $946,000 and $667,000,

Note 10 - Employee Benefit Plans
        
    The Company has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan
covering certain corporate headquarters employees and the employees of several
companies sold by the Company in 1992, for which benefits ceased accruing upon
the sale (the "Qualified Plan"). Benefits accruing under this plan to
corporate headquarters employees were fully vested and frozen as of January 1,
1994. The Company also has an excess benefits plan which provides retirement
payments to participants in amounts consistent with what they would have
received under the Qualified Plan if payments to them under the Qualified Plan
were not limited by the Internal Revenue Code and other restrictions.

    Retirement benefits are based primarily on an employee's years of
service and compensation near retirement. Plan assets are invested primarily
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.

     Actuarial assumptions used to calculate the Accumulated Benefit Obligation
and net expenses include a 7.25% interest rate as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
(8% at December 31, 1994), an expected long-term rate of return on assets of
8% and a 6% rate of increase in compensation levels in years prior to 1994.

     The Accumulated Benefit Obligation in excess of plan assets as of December
31, 1996 and 1995 was $7,422,000 and $3,188,000, respectively. The net
expenses relating to the Company's defined contribution and defined benefit
plans (including the ESOP described in Note 6) for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 were $1,907,000, $1,663,000 and $1,481,000, respectively.

Note 12 - Contingencies

        In May 1996, the Company became aware of a government investigation of
Home Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Home"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
acquired in 1992, based in Belleville, Illinois and certain individuals at that
unit. Home accounted for less than four percent of Omnicare's total sales and
earnings in 1996. The Company is cooperating fully with the government's
inquiry. Home continues to provide pharmacy services without interruption to
nursing home residents in the region. The outcome of this investigation is not
currently predictable.
