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


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

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements
of income and retained earnings and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Omnicare, Inc. and its subsidiaries
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 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 financial statements of CompScript, Inc., or
IBAH, Inc., wholly-owned subsidiaries, which statements reflect combined total
assets of $122,517,000 and $106,612,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and combined total revenues of $138,682,000, $104,836,000 and
$77,723,000 for the three years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. These statements were audited by other auditors whose reports
thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as
it relates to the amounts included for CompScript, Inc. and IBAH, Inc. is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of the
consolidated financial 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 reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

               Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

The Board of Directors
 and Shareholders
CompScript, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheet of
CompScript, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) (formed as a result of the
consolidation of CompScript, Inc.; Medical Services Consortium, Inc.; Campo
Medical Pharmacy, Inc.; and Hytree Pharmacy, Inc.) as of December 31, 1996, and
the related supplemental consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 1996. The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive
effect to the mergers of CompScript, Inc. and Medical Services Consortium,
Inc.; Campo Medical Pharmacy, Inc.; and Hytree Pharmacy, Inc. on January 10,
1997, February 28, 1997 and March 26, 1997, respectively, which have been
accounted for using the pooling of interests method as described in the notes
to the supplemental consolidated financial statements. These supplemental
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplemental financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of CompScript, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, after giving retroactive
effect to the combination of Medical Services Consortium, Inc.; Campo Medical
Pharmacy, Inc.; and Hytree Pharmacy, Inc., as described in the notes to the
supplemental consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                   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
consulting and data management services and medical supplies to long-term care
institutions and their residents in the United States. The Company also provides
international comprehensive clinical research and drug development services for
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned
subsidiaries.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated at the
year-end rate of exchange, and the income statements are translated at the
average rate of exchange for the year. Gains or losses from translating foreign
currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

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. 


                                      9
<PAGE>   10

At each balance sheet date, 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, 1997 or 1996.

Debt issuance costs as of December 31, 1997 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.

Additionally, a portion of the Company's revenues are earned by performing
services under contracts from various pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical
device and diagnostics companies, based on contract terms. Most of the contracts
provide for services to be performed on a units of service basis. These
contracts specifically identify the units of service and unit pricing. Under
these contracts, revenue is generally recognized upon completion of the units of
service, unless the unit of service is performed over an extended period of
time. For extended units of service, revenue is recognized based on labor hours
expended as a percentage of total labor hours expected to be expended. For
time-and-materials contracts, revenue is recognized at contractual hourly rates,
and for fixed-price contracts revenue is recognized using a method similar to
that used for extended units of service. The Company's contracts provide for
price renegotiations upon scope of work changes. The Company recognizes revenue
related to these scope changes when underlying services are performed and
realization is assured. In a number of cases, clients are required to make
termination payments in addition to payments for services already rendered. Any
anticipated losses resulting from contract performance are charged to earnings
in the period identified. Billings and payments are specified in each contract.
Revenue recognized in excess of billings is classified as unbilled receivables,
while billings in excess of revenue are classified as deferred revenue on the
accompanying balance sheets.

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.

EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The earnings per share data and related average number of shares outstanding
have been restated for all periods presented with the Company's required
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share."

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
include the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants, and for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, assumed the conversion of the 5.75%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 into common stock. Additionally, for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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 diluted earnings
per share. The 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes were converted on October 3,
1996; accordingly, they had no impact on the diluted earnings per share
calculation subsequent to that date. The 5.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2007 (issued in December 1997) were not included in the 1997 dilutive earnings
per share calculation since the impact was anti-dilutive.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS Nos. 130 and 131,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," respectively. Effective January 1, 1998,
the Company will adopt the provisions of these Statements. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses). 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.
Currently, the Company expects that adoption of SFAS Nos. 130 and 131 will not
have a significant impact on the Company's reporting and disclosures.

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 disclosures 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.

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 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,
contract research organizations, pharmacy consulting companies and medical
supply companies, which complement the Company's core business.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company completed 25 acquisitions
(excluding insignificant acquisitions), including 21 institutional pharmacy
businesses, a long-term care software company, two contract research
organizations and a health economics consulting business (completed by IBAH).
Eighteen of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and seven as
poolings-of-interests.

On September 16, 1997, Omnicare completed the acquisition of all outstanding
shares of American Medserve Corporation ("AMC"). AMC provided comprehensive
pharmacy and related services to approximately 51,400 residents in 720 long-term
care facilities in 11 states. The cash purchase price of AMC was approximately
$239.7 million, including bank debt totaling $16.7 million, which was retired
immediately following the acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company completed 22 acquisitions
(excluding insignificant acquisitions), including 19 institutional pharmacy
businesses, two long-term care software companies and a contract research
organization. Nineteen of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and
three as poolings-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.

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.

</TABLE>

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 issued in connection with acquisitions as of December 31,
1997 represent the right to purchase 333,460 shares of common stock. These
warrants can be exercised at any time through 2002 at prices ranging from $11.82
to $29.18 per share. Warrants to purchase 611,540 shares of common stock, issued
in prior years, were exercised in 1997.

The purchase agreements for acquisitions generally include provisions whereby
the seller will or may be paid additional consideration at a future date
depending on the passage of time and/or whether certain future events occur. The
agreements also include a number of representations and covenants by the seller
and provide that if those covenants are violated or found not to have been true,
Omnicare may offset any payments required to be made at a future date against
any claims it may have under the agreement caused by the covenant and
representation violations. There are no significant anticipated future offsets
against indemnity provisions or related accruals as of December 31, 1997 and
1996. Amounts contingently payable through 2002 totaled $36,296,000 as of
December 31, 1997 and, if paid, will be recorded as additional purchase price,
serving to increase goodwill in the period in which the contingencies are
resolved.

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.

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. The primary pro
forma adjustments reflect amortization of goodwill acquired on a straight-line
basis over 40 years and interest costs. The pro forma information does not give
effect to any synergies anticipated by the Company's management as a result of
the acquisitions, 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.

On September 17, 1998, Omnicare announced the completion of the acquisition of
the institutional pharmacy operations of Extendicare Health Services, Inc.
("EHSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extendicare Inc. (TSE/ME:EXE and EXE.A;
NYSE:EXE.A) for $250 million in cash, 125,000 shares of Omnicare common stock
and 1.5 million warrants to purchase Omnicare common stock at $48.00 per share.
The warrants have a seven-year term and are first exercisable in September 2001.

Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the pharmacy business of EHSI, operating under
the name United Professional Companies, Inc. ("UPC"), has contracts to provide
comprehensive pharmacy, related consulting and infusion therapy services to
approximately 55,000 residents in more than 550 facilities in 12 states. This
transaction also offers Omnicare the opportunity to provide pharmacy services
to an additional 77 Extendicare facilities with capacity for 9,300 residents in
Canada and the United Kingdom. Based upon the six months ended June 30, 1998,
UPC's pharmacy revenues are running at the annualized rate of approximately
$165 million.

POOLING-OF-INTERESTS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for all
periods presented to include the results of operations, cash flows and financial
position of CompScript, Inc. and IBAH, Inc., acquired in June 1998
pooling-of-interests transactions, as discussed below.

On June 26, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of CompScript, Inc.
("CompScript") in a pooling-of-interests transaction. Pursuant to the terms of
the merger agreement, CompScript stockholders received .12947 of a share of
Omnicare common stock for each share owned of CompScript common stock. Omnicare
issued approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock with a value of
approximately $67 million in this transaction.

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-term care facilities in five states. CompScript
operates seven pharmacy locations in the states of Florida, Ohio, Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi.

On June 29, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of IBAH, Inc. ("IBAH")
in a pooling-of-interests transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement, IBAH stockholders received .1638 of a share of Omnicare common stock
for each share owned of IBAH common stock. Omnicare issued approximately 4.3
million shares of common stock with a value of approximately $159 million in
this transaction.

CompScript and IBAH completed pooling-of-interests transactions in 1997 and 1996
which were included in their financial statements used to prepare the Omnicare
restated financial statements. The impact of the 1997 and 1996
pooling-of-interests transactions completed by Omnicare 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. Net sales and net income for Omnicare, CompScript and IBAH

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

On December 10, 1997, the Company issued $345,000,000 principal amount of 5.0%
Convertible Subordinated Notes ("1997 Notes") due 2007. The 1997 Notes are
convertible into common stock at any time after March 4, 1998 at the option of
the holder at a price of $39.60 per share. In connection with the issuance of
the 1997 Notes, the Company deferred $8.5 million in debt issuance costs. The
Company amortized $51,000 of deferred debt issuance costs relating to the 1997
Notes in 1997.

On October 1, 1993, the Company issued $80,500,000 principal amount of 5.75%
Convertible Subordinated Notes ("1993 Notes") due 2003. The 1993 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 1993 Notes were converted in October 1996 into
10,201,700 shares of common stock. Prior to the October conversion, a portion of
the 1993 Notes were converted into 613,444 shares of common stock during 1996.
In connection with the 1993 Notes conversions, the Company recorded the $1.9
million in unamortized deferred debt issuance costs against the paid-in capital
balance for the common stock issued. The Company amortized $220,000 of deferred
debt issuance costs relating to the 1993 Notes in 1996 (prior to the final 1993
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

                                      18
<PAGE>   19

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 $9,738,000 and $18,515,000
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The Company funds ESOP expense as accrued. The components of total ESOP expense

Revolving Credit Facilities
- ---------------------------

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 these covenants. No amounts were outstanding under this agreement as of
December 31, 1997 or 1996.

In May 1995, CompScript entered into a line of credit agreement which permitted
borrowings up to $750,000. On January 3, 1997, CompScript amended its financing
agreement with its primary lender to increase its revolving line of credit
agreement to allow for borrowings up to $5,000,000. On August 25, 1997,
CompScript further amended the financing agreement to allow for borrowings up to
$7,000,000. The line of credit is due upon demand and, in any event, expires
April 30, 1998. Interest is payable monthly at 8.5% with a .125% per annum fee
on the unused portion of the line. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the line of
credit was repaid in its entirety.

IBAH has a line of credit agreement which permits borrowings up to $5,000,000
minus the outstanding balance on the non-revolving equipment loan, or $4,062,000
at December 31, 1997. Prior to August 1996 (when IBAH negotiated an increase in
its line of credit), the amount of this facility was $2,000,000. The line of
credit is due upon demand and bears interest at the lender's prime rate
effective October 1997 (lender's prime rate plus 0.25% prior to October 1997).
There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 1997
and 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). In April 1996, IBAH
completed a public offering of its common stock that resulted in gross proceeds
of $19,500,000 (before issuance 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, 1997, 957,581 shares were available for grant.

In connection with the 1998 pooling-of-interests business combinations described
in Note 2, the Company converted all outstanding options to purchase common
stock of CompScript, Inc. and IBAH, Inc. into options to acquire approximately
924,000 shares (at December 31, 1997) of the Company's common stock at exercise
prices of $0.73 to $77.24 per share.

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 1997, 1996 and 1995, the amount of compensation expense related
to stock awards charged against income was $1,312,000, $937,000 and $506,000,
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 1997, 1996 and 1995: risk-free
interest rate of 6%, volatility of 35% (32% in 1996 and 1995), dividend yield of
0.2% and expected life of 4.2

was $11.87, $11.10 and $5.09, respectively.

The above pro forma information includes only stock options granted in 1995 and
thereafter. Because it does not include stock options granted prior to 1995, the
pro forma effects are not representative of effects on net income or earnings
per share for future years.

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 functions. The Company also subleases
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, 1997, 1996 and
1995 were $4,039,000, $7,139,000 and $4,535,000, respectively. Net amounts owed
by the Company to Chemed as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $556,000 and
$946,000, respectively.

During 1997, IBAH performed services for an entity employing a member of IBAH's
Board of Directors. Revenues recognized during the year for these services were
$1,357,000.

CompScript rents two of its facilities from entities controlled by shareholders
under long-term leases expiring in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Included in rent
expense is approximately $212,000 paid in 1997 to these related parties. Future
minimum payments on these two related party rentals, which expire in 2002, are
$987,000.

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.

                                      22
<PAGE>   23

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% interest rate as of December 31, 1997 (7.25% at
December 31, 1996 and 1995), an expected long-term rate of return on assets of
8% and a 6% rate of increase in compensation levels.

The Accumulated Benefit Obligation in excess of plan assets as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 was $5,008,000 and $7,422,000, respectively. In 1997, the Company
changed the actuarial assumptions used to determine the Accumulated Benefit
Obligation by using the actual compensation history of participants rather than
an estimated compensation history based on current compensation projected
backwards at the assumed rate of increase in compensation levels (6%). 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,
1997, 1996 and 1995 were $3,293,000, $1,907,000 and $1,663,000, respectively.

The $345,000,000 of 5.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 that are
convertible into 8,712,121 shares at $39.60 per share were outstanding during
December 1997, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
the impact in 1997 was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 - CONTINGENCIES

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 Belleville, Illinois subsidiary,
Home Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("HPSI"), was concluded.

In accordance with the terms of the tentative settlement, in the third quarter
of 1997, Omnicare recorded a nonrecurring charge of $6,313,000 ($5,958,000
aftertax) for the estimated costs and legal and other expenses associated with
resolving the investigation. The $6,313,000 consisted of anticipated payments to
the government agencies of $5,300,000 and estimated legal and other professional
fees directly attributable to the investigation of $1,013,000. The reserve was
adequate to cover the final settlement. The settlement did not result in any
criminal charges against Home Pharmacy Services. Additionally, Home Pharmacy
Services continues to participate in government reimbursement programs under the
terms of the settlement.

Home Pharmacy Services, which was acquired by Omnicare in 1992, has continued to
provide complete pharmacy services to nursing facility residents in its market
area without interruption. The pharmacy operation accounted for less than 2% of
Omnicare's total sales and earnings from continuing operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE 14 - NONRECURRING EXPENSES

Omnicare recorded a nonrecurring charge of $6,313,000 ($5,958,000 after taxes) 
for the estimated costs and legal and other expenses associated with resolving
the investigation discussed at Note 13 above.

In June 1997, IBAH implemented a restructuring plan for its International
Division. IBAH recorded a one-time restructuring charge of $1,208,000
($1,208,000 after taxes), consisting primarily of termination benefits for 14
employees and an accrual for lease-related charges. As of December 31, 1997, 12
employees had been terminated and $296,000 of termination benefits had been
paid. In addition, lease-related costs of $111,000 had been paid. Substantially
all of the termination benefits and lease-related charges will be paid by the
end of 1998.

On July 18, 1996, IBAH purchased all of the outstanding shares of stock of
Resource Biometrics, Inc. ("RBI"). In connection with this acquisition, IBAH
allocated $510,000 ($510,000 after taxes) of the excess of purchase price over
book value on the acquisition date (based on an independent appraisal) to
acquired research and development, which was charged to the statement of income
as a nonrecurring item.

At December 31, 1995, CompScript recognized a goodwill impairment charge of
approximately $3.6 million, with no associated tax benefit, related to the
pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") component of the Ohio Division of
CompScript. Specifically, based on poor financial results and the failure to
obtain new contracts, CompScript believed that the PBM business would not
generate positive cash flows in the foreseeable future and, accordingly, the
strategy to implement this line of business within the Ohio Division was no
longer a priority of CompScript.

In July 1995, a subsidiary of CompScript entered into a settlement agreement
relating to the early termination of a sales and marketing services contract
with outside business consultants. In connection with the settlement,
approximately $364,000 ($226,000 after taxes) was recorded as contract 
termination settlement expense in the statement of income.

NOTE 15 - OTHER EXPENSE

In March 1997, CompScript recorded an $800,000 charge relating to the write down
of a note receivable from a former affiliate of CompScript.

NOTE 16 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 1997, IBAH closed the software commercialization unit of RBI.
Accordingly, all operating results of this unit were reclassified from
continuing operations to discontinued operations. This unit recorded a net loss
of $389,000 for 1996 and $607,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. In
addition, a loss on the disposal of this unit of $1,547,000 was reflected in the
1997 consolidated statement of income. IBAH did not record an income tax benefit
on the loss from discontinued operations, as the realization of a corresponding
deferred tax asset is uncertain. The loss on disposal is comprised mainly of
severance, software asset write-offs, contract completion costs and future rent
related to abandoned office space. The remaining liabilities related to the loss
on disposal at December 31, 1997 were $417,000 and were included in accrued
employee compensation and other current liabilities on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.

On July 28, 1995, IBAH entered into an agreement to sell its Drug Delivery
Services Division, effective July 1, 1995, to a management group from that
division. The Drug Delivery Services Division had recorded a net loss of
$727,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. In addition, a loss on disposal
of the division of $819,000, including accruals for severance payments and
future liabilities, was reflected in the consolidated statement of income for
1995.

NOTE 17 - DEEMED DIVIDEND ON PREFERRED STOCK

On August 11, 1995, IBAH completed a private equity placement of 999,554 shares
of convertible preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, at a purchase price of
$7.003125 per share, for a total of $6,935,000, net of transaction costs. Each
share of convertible preferred stock was convertible into three shares of common
stock. All of the preferred stock was converted to common stock before or in
conjunction with the 1998 acquisition of IBAH by Omnicare.

Since the convertible preferred stock shares were immediately convertible into
common stock, the most beneficial conversion discount was recorded analogous to
a deemed dividend in the 1995 statement of income.

     all periods presented to include the results of operations of CompScript,
     Inc. ("CompScript") and IBAH, Inc. ("IBAH"), acquired in June 1998
     pooling-of-interests transactions. CompScript and IBAH completed
     pooling-of-interests transactions in 1997 and 1996 which were included in
     their financial statements used to prepare the Omnicare restated financial
     statements. The impact of 1997 and 1996 pooling-of-interests transactions
     completed by Omnicare 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.

(b)  Earnings per share is calculated independently for each quarter. The sum of
     the quarters may not necessarily be equal to the full year earnings per
     share amount. The earnings per share data have been restated with the

1997 vs. 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excluding the impact of acquisition-related expenses for pooling-of-interests
transactions, non-recurring charges and losses from discontinued operations
for both periods, net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 44%
over net income earned in 1996. Basic earnings per share, on this basis, for
1997 increased 18% over 1996, and diluted earnings per share increased 29%.

Sales increased 61% in 1997 versus 1996. The sales increase was the result of
the completion of 25 acquisitions in 1997 (excluding insignificant
acquisitions), including 21 institutional pharmacy businesses, a long-term care
software company, two contract research organizations, a health economics
consulting business and internal growth. As described in Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, 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.
This 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. From time to
time, the Company may acquire other businesses such as long-term care software
companies, contract research organizations, pharmacy consulting companies and
medical supplies companies, which complement the Company's core business.

On September 16, 1997, Omnicare completed the acquisition of all outstanding
shares of American Medserve Corporation ("AMC"). AMC provided comprehensive
pharmacy and related services to approximately 51,400 residents in 720 long-term
care facilities in 11 states. The cash purchase price of AMC was approximately
$239.7 million, including bank debt totaling $16.7 million, which was retired
immediately following the acquisition.

The Company also increases its revenues internally through the efforts of its
National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new pharmacy
contracts with long-term care facilities. Expansion of services such as infusion
therapy and the increasing acuity levels of residents in long-term care
facilities which results from efforts made to avoid or reduce hospitalization,
together with drug price inflation and other changes in sales mix also
contribute to the Company's revenue growth.

The Company's total sales increased by $393 million in 1997 versus 1996. The
Company estimates that approximately $277 million of its consolidated revenue
growth in 1997 was attributable to acquisitions. The Company believes that
additional revenue growth opportunities through acquisitions exist in the
institutional pharmacy industry and other related sectors. In addition, as
disclosed in the Outlook section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the health care industry's need
to lower health care costs is driving ongoing industry consolidation which
should continue to provide momentum for the Company's acquisition program.

The Company estimates that internal growth contributed approximately $116
million of Omnicare's increased revenue in 1997 compared to 1996. The Company's
revenues attributable to infusion therapy grew by approximately $38 million in
1997 compared to 1996. The Company 

                                      2
<PAGE>   3
expects the trend of increasing infusion therapy revenues to continue as nursing
facilities treat elderly residents with more acute health problems. When
pharmaceutical prices are increased, the Company generally is able to obtain
price increases to cover such drug price inflation; therefore, such inflation
increases revenues. The Company estimates that drug price inflation for its
highest dollar volume products in 1997 was approximately 4%-5%, and this trend
is continuing in 1998. The remainder of Omnicare's increased revenues in 1997
compared to 1996 attributable to internal growth reflects interrelated factors
associated with sales mix, pricing and volume, acuity levels of residents,
efforts of the Company's National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff
in developing new pharmacy contracts, and increased sales at IBAH, a contract
research organization of the Company. The Company is not able to isolate and
separately quantify accurately the increased volumes associated with each of
these individual factors.

Acquisitions and internal growth brought the total number of nursing facility
residents served at December 31, 1997 to 461,300, up 48% from the prior year
end. 

Gross margin decreased slightly from 30.1% in 1996 to 29.8% in 1997. Changes in
sales mix including increased infusion therapy sales, the Company's purchasing
leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals and leveraging fixed and
variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies and the acquisition of
contract research organizations positively impacted gross margins. However, this
was offset by the lower margins of the significant number of companies acquired
by the Company in 1997 and the effect of higher direct costs at IBAH resulting
from, among other things, changes in sales mix. Acquired companies generally
have lower margins because of a lower percentage of sales mix attributable to
infusion therapy sales and lesser purchasing leverage prior to their acquisition
by Omnicare. Further, smaller companies acquired by Omnicare are not able to
leverage fixed and variable overhead costs to the same extent as is the case
with Omnicare. These margins are expected to increase after acquisition by
Omnicare as the Company's sales and purchasing programs are implemented and as
overhead costs are leveraged.

Sales mix for the Company includes primarily sales of pharmaceuticals and
infusion therapy products and services, and, to a lesser extent, medical
supplies, contract research services and other. Sales of pharmaceuticals account
for the majority of the Company's sales and gross profit. Infusion therapy and
medical supplies gross margins are typically higher than gross margins
associated with sales of pharmaceuticals. That portion of the Company's sales
mix represented by infusion therapy has generally been increasing in recent
years and, as noted earlier herein, this trend is expected to continue.

Increased leverage in purchasing favorably impacts gross margins and is
primarily derived from discounts from suppliers. Leveraging of fixed and
variable overhead costs primarily relates to generating higher sales volumes
from pharmacy facilities with no increase in fixed costs (e.g., rent) and 
minimal increases in variable costs (e.g., utilities). The Company believes it 
will be able to continue to leverage fixed and variable overhead costs through 
internal growth.

As noted earlier herein, the Company is generally able to obtain price increases
to cover drug price inflation. In order to enhance its gross margins, the
Company strategically allocates its resources to those activities which will
increase internal sales growth and favorably impact sales mix or will lower
costs. In addition, through the ongoing development of its pharmaceutical
purchasing programs, the Company is able to obtain discounts and thereby manage
its pharmaceutical costs.

Investment income decreased by 53% to $5,720,000 in 1997 as the Company utilized
the excess net proceeds from the March 1996 stock offering to finance current
year acquisitions. Interest expense increased 51% from $4,332,000 in 1996 to
$6,556,000 in 1997 as a result of the Company borrowing on its available line of
credit and issuing $345 million of convertible subordinated debentures during
1997 in order to finance acquisitions.

The increase in the effective tax rate from 39.6% in 1996 to 43.6% in 1997 is
primarily attributable to an increase in state and local income taxes and the
existence of a nondeductible nonrecurring charge in 1997. The effective tax rate
of 43.6% in 1997 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state and
local income taxes and various nondeductible expenses (e.g., acquisition costs,
nonrecurring charges and foreign losses not benefited).


1996 vs. 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excluding the impact of acquisition-related expenses for pooling-of-interests
transactions, nonrecurring charges, losses from discontinued operations for both
periods and the 1995 deemed dividend on preferred stock, net income for the year
ended December 31, 1996 increased 104% over net income earned in 1995. Basic
earnings per share, on this basis, for 1996 increased 63% over 1995, and diluted
earnings per share increased 59%.

Sales increased 34%, or $164 million, in 1996 versus 1995. The sales increase
was the result of the completion of 22 acquisitions in 1996 (excluding
insignificant acquisitions), including 19 institutional pharmacy businesses, two
long-term care software companies, a contract research organization and internal
growth. The Company estimates that approximately $72 million of its consolidated
revenue growth in 1996 was attributable to acquisitions and $92 million was
attributable to internal growth. Internal growth resulted from the higher acuity
levels of residents in client facilities, expansion of services such as infusion
therapy (which grew by approximately $16 million in 1996), drug price inflation
(which the Company estimates approximated 4%-5% for its higher dollar volume
products), the addition of new clients owing to the efforts of the Company's
National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff, and increased sales at
IBAH, a contract research organization of the Company.

Acquisitions and internal growth brought the total number of nursing facility
residents served at December 31, 1996 to 311,400, up 37% from the prior year
end.

Gross margin improvements from 28.8% in 1995 to 30.1% in 1996 resulted from
changes in sales mix, including increased infusion therapy revenue, and the
Company's purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals and
leveraging fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies.

Investment income increased by 221% to $12,139,000 in 1996 as the Company
realized the benefit of investing the net proceeds of $279.2 million from the
March 1996 stock offering for the majority of the year. Interest expense
decreased 34% from $6,612,000 in 1995 to $4,332,000 in 1996, primarily due to
the conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes during 1996.

The reduction in the effective tax rate from 48.8% in 1995 to 39.6% in 1996 is
primarily attributable to differences in the generation and utilization of net
operating loss (NOL) carryforwards as well as the existence of a nondeductible
goodwill impairment charge in 1995. The effective tax rate of 39.6% in 1996 is
higher than the statutory rate primarily as a result of state and local income
taxes. The effective tax rate of 48.8% in 1995 is higher than the statutory rate
primarily due to state and local income taxes, the generation of NOL
carryforwards and a nondeductible goodwill impairment charge.

Impact of Year 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company utilizes information systems throughout its business to carry out
its day-to-day operations. Further, the Company has and will continue to invest
in financial and operational systems to support its growth strategy.
Incorporated in this process is the continuing assessment of the Company's Year
2000 compliance. The Company currently considers its internal information
technology ("IT") systems to be substantially Year 2000 compliant. For those
systems which are not Year 2000 compliant, Omnicare is currently correcting,
upgrading or replacing those systems with, among other systems, its new
proprietary information system, which system is Year 2000 compliant. The Company
believes it will be able to modify or replace its affected systems in time to
avoid any interruptions in its operations and anticipates that such remediation
will be completed during the second half of 1999. The Company estimates that the
costs associated with this project will range from approximately $4.2 million to
$5.2 million (with hardware accounting for approximately 40% of these costs and
software and implementation accounting for approximately 60% of these costs), of
which approximately $1.2 million has been spent to date. The cost of this
project will be funded primarily from the Company's operating cash flows. No IT
projects with high priority have been significantly delayed due to the Year 2000
initiatives. The Company does not anticipate any significant implications with
respect to Year 2000 issues relating to non-IT systems.

While the Company believes its plan for Year 2000 compliance will be completed
on a timely basis and within the foregoing estimates, there can be no assurance
that the remedial actions being implemented by the Company will be completed in
a timely manner; nor can assurance be given that any inability to complete
remedial action in a timely manner will not impact adversely operations or
financial results. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the costs associated
with the remediation will not exceed the foregoing estimates.

The failure by third parties with whom the Company has dealings, particularly
the Medicaid and Medicare programs, to adequately address their Year 2000 issues
could adversely affect the Company, and claims to these third party payors
could be unjustifiably denied and/or delayed. As a result, the Company's
accounts receivable balance could increase, unfavorably impacting operating cash
flows. The Company is communicating with each of these programs to determine the
extent to which it may be impacted by any Year 2000 issues not yet resolved by
these programs. The Company has developed a contingency plan which, if
necessary, would call for the submission of reimbursement claims using universal
claim (paper) forms to the programs in the event that computerized processing is
not feasible in the Year 2000. While it is management's current belief that this
contingency plan would satisfactorily address the risk associated with any
absence of readiness experienced by these programs, there can be no assurance
that implementation of such plan will mitigate in whole or in part such risk.


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

Acquisitions completed during 1997 utilized cash of $392.9 million and deferred
cash payments of $16.4 million were made relating to pre-1997 acquisitions.
Acquisitions were also financed, in part, with common stock of the Company.
Shares of common stock with a market value of approximately $121 million (4.3
million shares) were issued in connection with 1997 acquisitions and
approximately 36,000 shares with a market value of approximately $1.0 million
were issued during 1997 in connection with pre-1997 acquisitions. Additional
amounts totaling $36 million may become payable through the year 2002 pursuant
to the terms of various acquisition agreements.

In December 1997, the Company issued $345,000,000 principal amount of 5.0%
Convertible Subordinated Notes ("Notes") due 2007. The Notes are convertible
into common stock at any time after March 4, 1998, through maturity, unless
previously redeemed, at the option of the holder at a price of $39.60 per share.

                                      5

In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a consortium of
sixteen banks for a $400 million revolving credit facility, replacing the prior
$135 million facility. Interest rates and commitment fees for this new facility
are based on the Company's level of performance under certain debt covenants. No
amounts were outstanding at December 31, 1997 under the credit facility.
Additionally, on August 25, 1997, CompScript amended its current financing
agreement with its primary lender to increase its revolving line of credit
agreement to allow for borrowings up to $7 million. Interest on this facility is
payable monthly at 8.5% with a .125% per annum fee on the unused portion. At
December 31, 1997, approximately $6.7 million was outstanding under this
agreement.

Omnicare's current ratio decreased to 2.9 to 1.0 at December 31, 1997 from 4.1
to 1.0 at December 31, 1996, the decline being primarily attributable to the
Company's utilization of cash to fund its acquisition program. Working capital
at December 31, 1997 increased to $354,825,000 from year-end 1996 working
capital of $342,401,000. Book value per common share increased to $9.41 per
share as of December 31, 1997 from $8.33 per share at the prior year end,
primarily attributable to net income and stock issued in connection with
acquisitions, partially offset by dividends paid. Operating cash flow for 1997
totaled $10,235,000 compared to $30,959,000 for 1996. During 1997, the Company's
accounts receivable increased in connection with the significant growth in sales
resulting from the aforementioned internal growth and acquisitions activity.
Further, the Company made significant purchases of inventory in advance of
pharmaceutical price increases from manufacturers and also funded certain
benefit plan obligations pertaining to both current and prior years. If the
unusual inventory purchases and benefit plan obligations funding had not
occurred, operating cash flow for 1997 would have been $22,620,000.


On February 4, 1998, Omnicare'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 for 1998.

The Company believes that its sources of liquidity and capital are adequate for
its operating needs. There are no material commitments and contingencies
outstanding, other than additional acquisition-related payments to be made (see
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). If needed, other 
external sources of financing are readily available to the Company.


Contingency
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Belleville, Illinois subsidiary,
Home Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("HPSI"), was concluded.

In accordance with the terms of the tentative settlement, in the third quarter 
of 1997, Omnicare recorded a nonrecurring charge of $6,313,000 ($5,958,000
aftertax) for the estimated costs and legal and other expenses associated with
resolving the investigation. The $6,313,000 consisted of anticipated payments to
the government agencies of $5,300,000 and estimated legal and other professional
fees directly attributable to the investigation of $1,013,000. The reserve was
adequate to cover the final settlement. The settlement did not result in any
criminal charges against Home Pharmacy Services. Additionally, Home Pharmacy
Services continues to participate in government reimbursement programs under the
terms of the settlement. 

Home Pharmacy Services, which was acquired by Omnicare in 1992, has continued
to provide complete pharmacy services to nursing facility residents in its
market area without interruption. The pharmacy operation accounted for less
than 2% of Omnicare's total sales and earnings from continuing operations for
the year ended December 31, 1997.

Outlook
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In recent years, a number of legislative proposals have been introduced in
Congress that would effect major changes in the health care system, either
nationally or at the state level, including the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
("Balanced Budget Act") signed into law on August 5, 1997, which seeks to
achieve a balanced federal budget by, among other things, reducing federal
spending on the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Additionally, the private sector
continues its efforts to contain or reduce health care costs. The Company
anticipates that the government and the private sector will continue to review
and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies.
While it is not possible to predict the effect of the 1997 budget legislation or
any future initiatives on Omnicare's business, market forces nevertheless
continue to challenge health care providers to lower costs while maintaining or
improving quality. In this environment, the need to lower health care costs will
drive ongoing industry consolidation, which should continue to provide momentum
for the Company's acquisition program. Moreover, the development of the
Company's institutional pharmacy network in key geographic regions provides
opportunities for economies of scale to lower overall costs. In addition,
Omnicare's proprietary geriatric formulary not only lowers costs for payors and
patients, but also enhances the quality of care for the elderly.

Demographic trends also indicate that demand for long-term care will increase
well into the middle of the next century as the elderly population grows
significantly. 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 it is
well positioned to meet the challenges of today's health environment through a
number of initiatives, including drug formulary management, cost-effective drug
purchasing and efficient delivery systems. Additionally, Omnicare's pharmacy
consulting services for nursing facilities identify, resolve and prevent drug
therapy-related problems, reducing costs to the health care system while also
promoting optimal patient outcomes. Management believes Omnicare is
strategically positioned for continued sales and earnings growth in 1998.

(a)  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for
     all periods presented to include the results of operations of CompScript,
     Inc. ("CompScript") and IBAH, Inc. ("IBAH"), acquired in June 1998
     pooling-of-interests transactions. CompScript and IBAH completed
     pooling-of-interests transactions which were included in their financial
     statements used to prepare the Omnicare restated financial statements. The
     impact of certain other pooling-of-interests transactions completed by
     Omnicare 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.

(b)  The Company has had an active acquisition program in effect since 1989. See
     Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
     concerning these acquisitions.

     adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings

     CompScript $688; IBAH $176) relating to pooling-of-interests transactions.
     Such expenses, on an aftertax basis, were $3,935 (Omnicare $3,071;
     CompScript $688; IBAH $176), or $.05 per basic and diluted share. For the
     year ended December 31, 1997, income from continuing operations, excluding
     these expenses as well as the aftertax nonrecurring expenses of $7,665
     discussed at (e) and (f) below, was $65,705 ($.77 per basic and $.76 per

     international unit and Omnicare's estimated costs and legal and other

     investigation of Home Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary

     1996, income from continuing operations, excluding these expenses as well
     as the aftertax nonrecurring expenses of $510 discussed at (i) below, was
     $45,641 ($.65 per basic and $.59 per diluted share).

(i)  Includes a charge of $510 relating to the purchase of RBI (a subsidiary 
     of IBAH), representing the write-off of the portion of the RBI purchase

     expenses, on an aftertax basis, were $510, or $.01 per basic and diluted 
     share.
