                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors of
Extendicare Health Services, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Extendicare Health
Services, Inc. Pharmacy Operations as of December 31, 1997, and the related 
statements of net earnings and changes in equity and cash flows for the year 
ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Extendicare Health Services, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of the Extendicare Health 
Services, Inc. Pharmacy Operations as of December 31, 1997, and the results of 
its operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1)  ORGANIZATION

     The Extendicare Health Services, Inc. Pharmacy Operations (the Pharmacy
     Operations) includes the pharmacy operations owned and operated by United
     Professional Companies, Inc. (UPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of
     Extendicare Health Services, Inc. (EHSI) and the pharmacy operations
     acquired through the purchase of Arbor Health Care Company (Arbor) by EHSI
     in November, 1997. The Pharmacy Operations provide to nursing homes,
     assisted living facilities, and other long-term care facilities and
     residents of such facilities (collectively LTC Customers) the following
     items: pharmaceutical products, pharmacy-related services, infusion therapy
     products and services, respiratory equipment and supplies, parenteral and
     enteral nutritional products, wound care products, ostomy and urological
     supplies, together with all home care services provided by UPC at its
     Springfield, Ohio location.


(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The more significant accounting policies of the Pharmacy Operations are as
     follows:

     (a)  CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Pharmacy Operations consider all highly liquid investments with
     original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for
     purpose of the financial statements.

     (b)  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     Accounts receivable are recorded at the net realizable value expected to be
     received from federal and state assistance programs, other third-party
     payors, or from individual patients. Management does not believe that there
     are any credit risks associated with these government agencies other than
     possible funding delays. Accounts receivable other than from government
     agencies consist of receivables from various payors that are subject to
     differing economic conditions and do not represent any concentrated credit
     risk to the Pharmacy Operations.

     (c)  INVENTORIES

     Inventories consisting of drugs and pharmaceuticals are stated at the lower
     of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (d)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
     amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is
     provided using the straight-line method at rates based upon the following
     estimated useful lives:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
    <S>                                                        <C>      
     Buildings                                                  25 years 
     Building improvements                                      5-20 years 
     Furniture and equipment                                    Varying periods not exceeding 10 years 
     Leasehold improvements                                     The shorter of the term of the applicable leases 
                                                                   or the useful life of the improvement not 
                                                                   exceeding 10 years 
     Rental equipment                                           3-5 years 
     Automobiles and trucks                                     3 years
</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property
     or equipment is retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
     depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the
     resulting gain or loss is included in earnings.

     (e)  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

     Goodwill represents the cost of acquired net assets in excess of their fair
     market values. Amortization of goodwill is computed using the straight-line
     method over a period of forty years related to the Arbor acquisition and
     five to fifteen years for other acquisitions. The other identifiable
     intangible asset consists of pharmacy contract rights that were obtained in
     the Arbor acquisition and represents the value to provide pharmacy
     services. Pharmacy contract rights are amortized using the straight-line
     method over a period of twenty years. Covenants not to compete are
     amortized over the effective period of the covenant, which is estimated to
     be three years.

     (f)  LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The Pharmacy Operations periodically assess the recoverability of
     long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill, and other
     intangibles, when there are indications of potential impairment based on
     estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of any impairment
     is calculated by comparing the estimated fair market value with the
     carrying value of the related asset. Management considers such factors as
     current results, trends, and future prospects, in addition to other
     economic factors, in performing this analysis. In management's opinion, no
     such impairment exists as of December 31, 1997.

     (g)  LEASES

     Leases that substantially transfer all of the benefits and risks of
     ownership of property to the Pharmacy Operations or otherwise meet the
     criteria for capitalizing a lease under generally accepted accounting
     principles are accounted for as capital leases. An asset is recorded at the
     time a capital lease is entered into together with its related long-term
     obligation to reflect its purchase and financing. Property and equipment
     recorded under capital leases are depreciated on the same basis as
     previously described. Rental payments under operating leases are expensed
     as incurred.

     (h)  REVENUES

     Revenues are recorded in the period in which services and products are
     provided at established rates less contractual adjustments. Contractual
     adjustments include differences between the Pharmacy Operations'
     establishing billing rates and allowable Medicaid or other third-party
     reimbursement.

     (i)  INCOME TAXES

     The Pharmacy Operations' results of operations are included in the
     consolidated Federal tax return of its U.S. parent company, EHSI.
     Accordingly, Federal current and deferred income taxes payable are
     transferred to EHSI. The provision for income taxes has been calculated as
     if the Pharmacy Operations were a separately taxed entity in the
     accompanying financial statements.

     (j)  ORGANIZATION COSTS

     Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

     (k)  USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management of the Pharmacy Operations has made a number of estimates
     relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs, and
     expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these
     estimates.


(3)  ACQUISITIONS

     On November 26, 1997, EHSI acquired for cash all of the outstanding stock
     of Arbor, a company engaged in operating 31 nursing facilities. The
     acquisition of Arbor also included Arbor's four institutional pharmacies
     and outpatient rehabilitation businesses. The acquisition was accounted for
     using the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of the acquired
     institutional pharmacy operations are included in the accompanying
     financial statements since the date of acquisition.

     The cost of the businesses and assets acquired in 1997 (primarily comprised
     of the Arbor acquisition along with other minor acquisitions) was
     $101,043,431 which consisted of:

</TABLE>


     The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
     combined results of operations of the Pharmacy Operations as if the
     acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 1997. The pro forma financial
     information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that
     would have occurred had the UPC and Arbor pharmacy operations constituted a
     single entity during that period. Certain of the other acquisitions of UPC
     were deemed immaterial to the results of the Pharmacy Operations and
     therefore pro forma information is not provided.

(4)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation and
     amortization at December 31, 1997 are as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Buildings                                           $   937,991
     Furniture and equipment                               9,951,383
     Leasehold improvements                                1,356,169

           amortization                                   10,127,220

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net capital lease equipment                         $   807,698
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(5)  INCOME TAXES

     The Pharmacy Operations accounts for income taxes using an asset and
     liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
     and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to
     differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
     assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
     and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
     taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
     expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
     liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
     that includes the enactment date.

     The provision for income taxes for 1997 consists of the following:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Federal:
              Current                                            $  3,334,024
              Deferred                                               (117,059)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Total Federal                                                  3,216,965
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     State:
              Current                                                 608,029
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Total                                                       $  3,824,994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The effective tax rate on earnings before provision for income taxes and 
     minority interest does not materially differ from the statutory Federal 
     income tax rate of 35%. 

     The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of
     December 31, 1997 are as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Deferred tax assets:
              Depreciation and amortization                      $     39,616
              Employee benefit accruals                                58,064
              Accounts receivable allowances                          106,639
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Net deferred tax asset                                      $    204,319
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
     whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
     tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
     assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
     periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. Management
     has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities in making
     this assessment and believes it is more likely than not the Company will
     realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

     Operating lease costs were approximately $1,065,000 in 1997. These leases
     expire on various dates extending through the year 2014.


(9)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     LITIGATION

     The Pharmacy Operations periodically are a defendant in actions brought
     against them in connection with their operations. Management believes, on
     the basis of information furnished by legal counsel, that none of these
     actions will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
     earnings of the Pharmacy Operations.

     YEAR 2000

     EHSI, including the Pharmacy Operations (collectively the Company), has
     conducted a review of its computer systems and its third-party systems to
     identify those systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The
     Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems being written using two
     digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
     programs or programs of third-party providers that have time-sensitive
     software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
     year 2000. If not corrected, Year 2000 issues could result in a major
     system failure or modifications and material costs to the Company. As a
     result of the sale of the Pharmacy Operations, no further analysis of the
     systems have occurred.


(10) TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT

     The Pharmacy Operations' parent, EHSI, is an indirect wholly owned
     subsidiary of Extendicare Inc. (Extendicare), a Canadian publicly-held
     company. The following is a summary of the transactions between the
     Pharmacy Operations and other UPC entities, EHSI, Extendicare, and other
     affiliates in 1997:

     INSURANCE

     The Pharmacy Operations insure certain risks with an affiliated insurance
     subsidiary of Extendicare. The statement of net earnings for 1997 includes
     expenses of $666,667 related to the costs of these coverages.

     REVENUES

     Revenues of approximately $23,274,000 were recorded in 1997 by the Pharmacy
     Operations that were earned from related EHSI and Arbor facilities.


(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     Under an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 29, 1998 among
     Omnicare, Inc. (Omnicare); Badger Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Omnicare; EHSI; and the subsidiaries of EHSI, EHSI sold to
     Omnicare, effective September 16, 1998, certain assets and Omnicare 
     assumed certain liabilities relating to the Pharmacy Operations.

     In September, 1998 the minority shareholder interest was purchased by EHSI
     for $2,300,000 in cash. This purchase was consummated prior to the
     completion of the transaction with Omnicare.

(2)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31
     has been prepared from the books and record without audit. The accompanying
     financial statements do not include all of the information and the
     footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
     statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
     of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such
     financial statements, have been included.

     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 assets and 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.

     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
     The more significant accounting policies of the Pharmacy Operations are as 
     follows:

     INVENTORIES

     Inventories consisting of drugs and pharmaceuticals are stated at the 
     lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out 
     method.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
     amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is
     provided using the straight-line method at rates based upon the following
     estimated useful lives:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Buildings                         25 years
     Building improvements             5-20 years
     Furniture and equipment           Varying periods not exceeding 10 years
     Leasehold improvements            The shorter of the term of the 
                                          applicable leases or the useful life 
                                          of the improvement not exceeding
                                          10 years
     Rental equipment                  3-5 years
     Automobiles and trucks            3 years

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property 
     or equipment is retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated 
     depreciation and amortization is removed from the accounts and the 
     resulting gain or loss is included in earnings.

     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

     Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles is computed using the 
     straight-line method over a period of five to forty years. Covenants not to
     compete are amortized over the effective period of the covenant.

     LEASES

     Leases that substantially transfer all of the benefits and risks of 
     ownership of property to the Pharmacy Operations or otherwise meet the 
     criteria for capitalizing a lease under generally accepted accounting 
     principles are accounted for as capital leases. An asset is recorded at 
     the time a capital lease is entered into together with its related 
     long-term obligation to reflect its purchase and financing. Property and 
     equipment recorded under capital leases are depreciated on the same basis 
     as previously described. Rental payments under operating leases are 
     expensed as incurred.

     REVENUES

     Revenues are recorded in the period in which services and products are 
     provided at established rates less contractual adjustments. Contractual 
     adjustments include differences between established billing rates and 
     allowable Medicaid or other third-party reimbursement.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Pharmacy Operations' results of operations are included in the
     consolidated Federal tax return of its U.S. parent company, EHSI.
     Accordingly, Federal current and deferred income taxes are transferred to
     EHSI. The provision for income taxes has been calculated as if the Pharmacy
     Operations were a separately taxed entity in the accompanying financial
     statements. The Pharmacy Operations has provided for income tax expense by
     applying the approximately combined federal and state tax of 35% to revenue
     before income taxes and minority interest.

     ORGANIZATION COSTS

     Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis for over 5 years.

(4)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     LITIGATION

     The Pharmacy Operations periodically are a defendant in actions brought
     against them in connection with their operations. Management believes, on
     the basis of information furnished by legal counsel, that none of these
     actions will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
     earnings of the Pharmacy Operations.

     YEAR 2000

     EHSI, including the Pharmacy Operations (collectively the Company), has
     conducted a review of its computer systems and its third-party systems to
     identify those systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The
     Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems being written using two
     digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
     programs or programs of third-party providers that have time-sensitive
     software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
     year 2000. If not corrected, Year 2000 issues could result in a major
     system failure or modifications and material costs to the Company. As a
     result of the sale of the Pharmacy Operations, no further analysis of the
     systems have occurred.

(5)  PURCHASE OF MINORITY INTEREST

     In September, 1998, the minority shareholder interest was purchased by EHSI
     for $2.3 million in cash. This purchase was consummated prior to the
     completion of the transaction with Omnicare as described in Note (1).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Omnicare, Inc. (the "Company") completed, effective September 16, 1998, the
acquisition of substantially all of the institutional pharmacy operations (the
"Pharmacy Operations") of Extendicare Health Services, Inc. ("EHSI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Extendicare, Inc. Additional information relating to
this acquisition is included in the Form 8-Ks dated August 7, 1998 and September
28, 1998, and the Form 10-Q dated November 16, 1998. The unaudited Consolidated
Balance Sheet of Omnicare as of September 30, 1998 (included in the Company's
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998) gives effect to the
acquisition of the pharmacy business of EHSI. The following unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Income of the Company for the year ended December 31,
1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 give effect to the
acquisition of the Pharmacy Operations as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997.

The acquisition of the Pharmacy Operations was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities based on the Company's
management's estimate of their fair values. The excess of cost over the fair
value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the
purchase price may be adjusted in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of
Purchased Enterprises," to the extent that actual amounts differ from
management's current estimates. Management does not expect that any such
adjustment would have a material impact on the financial statements.

The pro forma information has been prepared by the Company based on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Pharmacy Operations.
The pro forma information is presented for illustration purposes only and does
not purport to be indicative of the combined results of operations that actually
would have occurred if the acquisition of the Pharmacy Operations had been
effected at the dates indicated or to project results of operations for any
future period. The pro forma information gives effect only to the adjustments
set forth in the accompanying notes and does not reflect any synergies
anticipated by the Company's management as a result of the acquisition, in
particular, improvements in gross margin attributable to the Company's
purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals and the
elimination of duplicate payroll and other operating expenses. Therefore,
management believes that the pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of future performance. The pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto included in its Form 8-K dated September 28, 1998 and its Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, and the financial statements of
the Pharmacy Operations and related notes thereto included in this filing.

                             (dollars in thousands)


(a)  To reclassify certain general and administrative expenses of the Pharmacy 
     Operations to cost of sales in order to reflect cost of sales consistently
     with the Company's treatment of these expenses.

(b)  To eliminate the historical LIFO expense of the Pharmacy Operations.

(c)  To reflect amortization of the goodwill of approximately $240 million
     recorded in connection with the purchase of the Pharmacy Operations on a
     straight-line basis over 40 years.

(d)  To eliminate the historical goodwill amortization of the Pharmacy 
     Operations.

(e)  To adjust interest expense to record interest expense at approximately 5.8%
     (the average actual rate on the borrowing) on the $250 million of debt
     drawn down by the Company at closing (annual interest expense would change
     by approximately $313 for each 1/8% change in the interest rate).

(f)  To record tax effect of pro forma adjustments at the Company's effective
     tax rate of approximately 37.6% (excluding the impact of various
     nondeductible expenses such as certain acquisition costs and nonrecurring
     charges) which is not materially different than the combined federal and
     state statutory rates.

(g)  To adjust the income tax provision on the Pharmacy Operation's pretax
     income at the Company's effective tax rate of 37.6% (excluding the impact
     of various nondeductible expenses such as certain acquisition costs and 
     nonrecurring charges). 

(h)  To eliminate the minority interest in a joint venture of the Pharmacy
     Operations, which was purchased by the Pharmacy Operations immediately
     preceding the Company's acquisition of the Pharmacy Operations.

(i)  To reflect the Company's issuance of 125,000 shares of OCR common stock in
     connection with the acquisition of the Pharmacy Operations.
