                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
management of Omnicare, Inc., the interim data include all adjustments (which
include only normal adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
Omnicare, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Omnicare" or the "Company").
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with
the current year presentation.

2. 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 other
assets, generally insignificant in size, which are combined with existing
pharmacy operations to augment their internal growth. The Company may, from time
to time, acquire certain non-pharmaceutical companies which complement the
Company's core business. 

         Since January 1, 1998, the Company has completed three acquisitions
(excluding insignificant purchases of pharmacy contracts and other assets) of
institutional pharmacy businesses and one data management business. All of the
institutional pharmacy transactions were accounted for as purchase transactions
and the data management business as a pooling-of-interests. These four
transactions added approximately $15 million in revenues on an annualized basis.
For all acquisitions accounted for as purchases, including insignificant
purchases of pharmacy contracts and other assets, the purchase price paid for
each has been allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included
in the consolidated results of the Company from the effective dates of the
acquisitions. The impact of the pooling-of-interests transaction on the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements was not material;
consequently, prior period and current year financial statements have not been
restated for this transaction.

CompScript
- ----------
         On February 23, 1998, Omnicare and CompScript, Inc. (CompScript)
(NASDAQ:CPRX) announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement pursuant
to which Omnicare will acquire CompScript through the merger of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Omnicare with CompScript. In the merger, each outstanding
CompScript common share will be converted into $4.50 market value of Omnicare
common shares, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Omnicare expects to
issue approximately $63.3 million in Omnicare stock. In addition, CompScript has
approximately $7.5 million in debt. The transaction is structured as a pooling-
of-interests and a tax-free reorganization.

         CompScript is a Boca Raton, Florida-based provider of comprehensive
pharmacy management, infusion therapy and related consulting services to the
long-term care, alternate care and managed care markets. CompScript serves
approximately 20,000 residents in 137 long-

                                       6

term care facilities in five states. CompScript operates seven pharmacy
locations in the states of Florida, Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
CompScript's annualized revenues are approximately $53.0 million based on the
fourth quarter of 1997.

         The transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of
both Omnicare and CompScript, is subject to the approval of CompScript's
shareholders, the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Act, and certain other terms and conditions. In connection with this
transaction, CompScript has granted Omnicare an option to purchase up to 19.9%
of CompScript's common shares, exercisable upon the occurrence of certain
circumstances specified in the agreement. It is anticipated that the transaction
will be completed prior to the end of the third quarter of 1998.

IBAH
- ----
         On March 31, 1998, Omnicare and IBAH, Inc. (IBAH) (NASDAQ:IBAH)
announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which Omnicare will
acquire IBAH, the fifth largest global contract research organization ("CRO"),
in a stock-for-stock merger. In the merger, each outstanding IBAH common share
will be converted into $5.75 market value of Omnicare common shares, subject to
the terms of the agreement. Omnicare expects to issue approximately $169 million
in Omnicare stock. The transaction is structured as a pooling-of-interests and a
tax-free reorganization.

         The definitive agreement has been approved by both Boards of Directors
and is subject to the approval of IBAH's shareholders, the expiration of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act, and certain other
terms and conditions. In connection with this transaction, IBAH has granted
Omnicare an option to purchase up to 19.9% of IBAH's common shares exercisable
upon the occurrence of certain circumstances specified in the agreement. It is
anticipated that the transaction will be completed by the end of the third
quarter of 1998.

         IBAH, Inc., headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, is a worldwide
leader in providing comprehensive product development services to client
companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics
industries. IBAH offers services for all stages of drug development, helping
client companies to accelerate products from discovery through development and
commercialization more rapidly and cost-effectively. IBAH's net revenues are
running at the annualized rate of approximately $99 million based on the fourth
quarter of 1997.

3. On April 17, 1998, Omnicare announced that the previously announced tentative
settlement with the U.S. Attorney's office in the Southern District of Illinois
regarding the government's investigation of its subsidiary, Home Pharmacy
Services, Inc. ("HPSI"), has been concluded on the terms previously disclosed.
The HPSI pharmacy operation accounted for less than 3% of Omnicare's total sales
and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

         As previously announced, in May 1996 the Company became aware of a 
government investigation of HPSI, its institutional pharmacy subsidiary in
Belleville, Illinois, and certain individuals employed at that time. Omnicare
was informed that HPSI was the sole focus of the investigation and that neither
Omnicare nor any of its other operating units were targets of the inquiry.
Omnicare cooperated fully with the government investigation and, in August 1997,
announced that a tentative settlement had been reached.

         In anticipation of the completion of the settlement, Omnicare 
recorded a pretax charge to earnings in the third quarter of 1997 of $6.3
million to establish a reserve for the estimated costs and legal and other
expenses associated with resolving the matter. The reserve is adequate to cover
the final settlement costs.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and 
         -----------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Quarter Ended March 1998 vs. 1997
- ---------------------------------

         Excluding the impact of acquisition related expenses for
pooling-of-interests transactions from both periods, net income for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 was up 38% to $19,764,000 from the $14,297,000 earned in
the same period a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share, on this basis,
were $.24, up 33% from the $.18 earned in the comparable prior-year period. The
1998 quarter included pooling expenses of $491,000 before taxes ($415,000 after
taxes) while the 1997 quarter included $978,000 before taxes ($854,000 after
taxes) in pooling expenses. Sales for the first quarter of 1998 increased 65% to
$299,752,000 versus the $181,608,000 recorded in the comparable prior-year
quarter.

         The increases in the Company's sales and earnings were the product of
its continued focus on acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers and
sustained internal growth.

         During the first quarter of 1998, the Company acquired three
institutional pharmacy providers (excluding insignificant purchases of pharmacy
contracts and other assets), which when combined with internal growth, brought
the total number of nursing facility residents served to 457,200 at March 31,
1998, up 35% over the number served one year ago. The Company also acquired a
data management business during the quarter. These four transactions added
approximately $15 million in revenues on an annualized basis.

         Internal growth resulted from an increase in acuity levels of residents
in client facilities, expansion of services such as infusion therapy, efforts of
the Company's National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in
developing and purchasing new pharmacy contracts, drug price inflation and other
changes in sales mix.

         Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased
by $358,000 in comparison to the same period of 1997 due to a lower average
invested cash balance during the first quarter of 1998 than in the first quarter
of 1997. The use of cash is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition
program.

         The Company's effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 was 39.7%
versus 40.7% in the comparable 1997 period. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in nondeductible pooling-of-interests expenses in
the current year quarter versus the comparable prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998 were $120 million versus
$131 million at December 31, 1997. Acquisitions of businesses in the first
quarter of 1998 required $29 million of cash payments (including amounts payable
pursuant to acquisition agreements relating to pre-1998 acquisitions) which were
funded by the reduction in cash and cash equivalents and the use of cash flows
generated from first quarter operating activities. The Company generated
positive net cash flow from operating activities of $31 million during the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The improvement in net cash flow from operating
activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998 versus the comparable
prior year period is primarily attributable to improved management of
working capital and changes in estimated tax assets and liabilities. 
Specifically, there was a significant increase in inventories during the first 
quarter of 1997 associated with a change in pricing and payment terms with the 
Company's primary supplier of pharmaceuticals from four weeks to one week and
the purchase of inventories in advance of pharmaceutical price increases from
manufacturers, whereas neither of these circumstances significantly impacted
the first quarter of 1998.

         The Company's capital requirements are primarily related to its
acquisition program. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company
made four acquisitions (excluding insignificant purchases of other assets) for
an aggregate capital investment of approximately $14 million. Such acquisitions
were financed from cash and cash equivalents and the issuance of approximately
156,000 shares of common stock. There are no material commitments outstanding at
March 31, 1998, other than estimated future acquisition-related payments to be
made in accordance with purchase agreements.

         The Company's current ratio at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was
3.6 to 1.0 and 3.7 to 1.0, respectively. The decline in the current ratio is
primarily attributable to the Company's utilization of cash to fund its
acquisition program.

         On February 4, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors increased the
quarterly cash dividend by 14% to 2 cents per share for an indicated annual
rate of 8 cents per share in 1998. Dividends of $1.6 million were paid during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 versus the $1.4 million paid in the
comparable prior year period.

         The Company believes its sources of liquidity and capital are adequate
for its ongoing operating needs. If needed, other external sources of financing
are readily available to the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
- ------------------------------------

         In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 130 and 131, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" and "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," respectively. Effective January 1, 1998, SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
(revenues, expenses, gains and losses). SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, although it is not applicable to
interim periods in the initial year of adoption. SFAS No. 131 requires that a
public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about
its reportable operating segments. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS No. 130 did not impact the Company's reporting and disclosures during the
first quarter of 1998. Further, SFAS No. 131 is not expected to significantly
impact the Company's reporting and disclosures.

         The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants recently issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") Nos. 98-1 and 98-5, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" and "Start-Up
Activities," respectively. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for the
costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. SOP 98-5
requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as
incurred. These statements are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP Nos. 98-1 and 98-5 are not expected
to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations, reporting and disclosures.
