                     OMNICARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
                   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, except as discussed in Notes 2 and 4)
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, 1999, the Company has completed five acquisitions
(excluding insignificant purchases of other assets) of institutional pharmacy
businesses, four of which were accounted for as purchase transactions and one as
a pooling-of-interests transaction. These transactions added approximately $65.5
million in revenues on an annualized basis. For all acquisitions accounted for
as purchases, including insignificant purchases of other assets, the purchase
price paid has been allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, and the results of operations of the acquired entities have
been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the effective
dates of the acquisitions.

Pooling-of-Interests Transactions

     On June 26, 1998, Omnicare completed the acquisition of CompScript, Inc.
("CompScript"). 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, which was accounted for 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 served
approximately 20,000 residents in 137 long-term care facilities in five states
at the time of the acquisition.

     On June 29, 1998, Omnicare completed the acquisition of IBAH, Inc.
("IBAH"). 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

                                       6







<PAGE>


approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock with a value of approximately
$159 million in this transaction, which was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and a tax free reorganization.

     IBAH, headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, is an international
provider of 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 that are intended to
help client companies to accelerate products from discovery through development
and commercialization more cost-effectively.

     In connection with the CompScript and IBAH mergers, in the 1998 second
quarter, Omnicare recorded a charge to operating expenses of $17,723,000
($15,391,000 after taxes) for direct and other merger-related costs pertaining
to the merger transactions and certain related restructuring actions. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded income of $877,000
($962,000 after taxes) relating to the net reversal of estimated
CompScript and IBAH acquisition related expenses resulting from the finalization
of those costs during the quarter. The aftertax net income impact of these
adjustments exceeds the pretax impact as a result of the CompScript merger
transaction costs reversal, which had no tax effect due to the nature of these
expenses.

     Merger transaction costs consisted primarily of fees for investment
bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial printing and other related charges.
Restructuring costs include severance and exit costs. Details of these costs
follow (in thousands):

     Restructuring costs include the costs of restructuring the CompScript mail
order pharmacy business and the cancellation of certain of its vendor agreements
along with severance and exit costs associated with the consolidation of certain
IBAH facilities and the restructuring of its pharmaceutics business. These
actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 20 employees. Included in the
exit costs are $1,948,000 of non-cash items. At September 30, 1999, all
remaining liabilities relating to these actions were classified as current
liabilities.

3. Based on the "management approach," as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Omnicare has two business segments. The
Company's largest segment is Pharmacy Services. Pharmacy Services provides
distribution of pharmaceuticals, related pharmacy consulting, data management
services and medical supplies to long-term care facilities. The Company's other
reportable segment is Contract Research Organization ("CRO")

4. In the second quarter of 1999, the Company announced a comprehensive
restructuring plan to streamline company-wide operations through the
implementation of a productivity and consolidation program. This program is in
response to the recent changes in the healthcare industry and will complement
Omnicare's ability to gain maximum benefits from the existing acquisition
program. The productivity and consolidation initiatives are expected to
eliminate redundant efforts, simplify work processes and apply technology to
maximize employee productivity, and standardize operations around best
practices. Facilities in overlapping geographic territories are being
consolidated to better align pharmacies around customers to improve efficiency
and enhance the Company's ability to deliver innovative services and programs to
its customers. Productivity initiatives are being introduced at the majority of
the Company's 220 pharmacy and other operating locations. Also as part of the
initiative, the roster of pharmacies and other operating locations is being
reconfigured through consolidations, relocations, the creation of nine new
sites, and the closing of approximately 20 sites. These strategic measures are
expected to lead to the net reduction of approximately 1,700 full- and part-time
positions upon completion of the plan.

     In connection with this program, Omnicare expects to recognize total
restructuring costs of $32,354,000 ($20,783,000 after taxes). During the second
and third quarters of 1999, Omnicare recorded charges to operating expenses
totaling $28,857,000 ($18,580,000 after taxes) for restructuring activities. The
remaining costs will be expensed over the next five quarters, at such time the
amounts are required to be recognized per generally accepted accounting
principles. The restructuring charge includes severance pay, the buy-out of
current employee contract agreements, the buy-out of lease obligations, the
write-off of other assets (representing $3,489,000 of non-cash items) and
facility exit costs. Details of these costs follow (in thousands):

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had incurred approximately $3.4
million of severance and other employee-related costs relating to the reduction
of approximately 280 employees. All remaining liabilities recorded at September
30, 1999 were classified as current liabilities since the Company anticipates
that these activities will be finalized within the next year. The Company
expects that the overall restructuring program will be completed by the end of
the year 2000.

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

Results of Operations
Quarter Ended September 1999 vs. 1998

     Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1999
were $.16 as compared with $.29 earned in the prior year quarter, excluding from
the 1999 period a restructuring charge of $2,144,000 ($1,351,000 after taxes, or
$0.01 per share) relating to the Company's previously announced productivity and
consolidation initiative, and the net reversal of estimated acquisition expenses
relating to the finalization of prior year pooling-of-interests transactions
totaling $877,000 ($962,000 after taxes, or $0.01 per share). The aftertax
net income impact of these adjustments exceeds the pretax impact as a result
of the CompScript merger transaction costs reversal, which had no tax effect
due to the nature of these expenses. Net income for the 1999 quarter, on this
basis, was $14,333,000 versus the $25,740,000 earned in the 1998 quarter.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 rose 24% to
$474,007,000 from the $383,647,000 recorded in the comparable prior year period.

     The increase in the Company's sales represents the cumulative effect of its
acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers, and continued internal growth
of the pharmacy services and contract research organization businesses. The
reduction in earnings primarily reflects the very difficult operating
environment in the long-term care industry. The implementation of the
Prospective Payment System ("PPS") for Medicare residents of skilled nursing
facilities continues to create a very unsettled operating environment. While
Omnicare experienced PPS-related pricing pressure from skilled nursing facility
customers late in 1998 and to a greater extent in 1999, much of this pressure
was offset by the addition of new business, the benefits of increased compliance
with Omnicare's proprietary geriatric formulary, the Omnicare Geriatric
Pharmaceutical Care Guidelines'r', and reduced operating costs. However, the
continued reluctance on the part of skilled nursing facilities to admit Medicare
residents, particularly those requiring complex care, owing to concerns relating
to the adequacy of reimbursement under PPS has caused the continuation of weaker
Medicare census in many areas. Moreover, for many skilled nursing facilities,
the average length of stay for Medicare residents has decreased. These factors
have had the effect of significantly reducing overall occupancy in the
facilities Omnicare serves. Moreover, the mix of residents in skilled nursing
facilities also has adversely affected Omnicare's results as these facilities
have attempted to avoid high acuity patients which impacts overall utilization
of drugs. Reimbursement concerns have increasingly driven many nursing
facilities to admit residents funded by payors other than Medicare. These trends
continued during the third quarter and had an unfavorable impact on sales,
profit margins and net income.

     Despite the operating environment, Omnicare continued to see solid revenue
growth, reflecting the impact of prior-period acquisitions as well as internal
growth. The number of residents served at September 30, 1999 was 628,000, up 11%
over the number served one year earlier. This addition of new accounts is net of
the elimination of certain uneconomic PPS contracts and those client facilities
from which Omnicare has withdrawn due to the deterioration in their financial
condition.

     Internal growth resulted primarily from the efforts of the Company's
National Sales and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new pharmacy
contracts, drug price inflation and changes in sales mix.


                                       11







<PAGE>


     Omnicare's CRO Services segment experienced modest revenue growth during
the quarter and operating profit which, while up significantly on a
year-to-date basis, was essentially even with the comparable prior year quarter,
excluding acquisition expenses and restructuring costs. During the quarter, a
slowdown was observed in the commencement rate of several new projects resulting
in a temporary underutilization of resources. A number of these projects have
commenced in the fourth quarter.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.6% in 1999 from 30.4%
in 1998. The positive impact on gross profit relating to the Company's
purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals, leveraging
fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies, benefits realized
from the Company's formulary compliance program and productivity and
consolidation initiative, and changes in sales mix were more than offset by the
aforementioned unfavorable impact of PPS on the Pharmacy Services segment and
the less favorable performance of the CRO Services segment.

     Selling, general and administrative ("operating") expenses for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 increased 27% to $90,888,000 as compared to 1998 due
primarily to the overall growth of the Company. Operating expenses as a
percentage of sales of 19.2% in 1999 were greater than the 18.7% experienced in
the comparable prior year period due primarily to an increase in the Company's
provision for doubtful accounts due to a deterioration in the financial
condition of several of the Company's Pharmacy Services customers as a result of
the current PPS environment.

     Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$266,000, a decrease of $357,000 in comparison to the same period of 1998 due to
a lower average invested cash balance during the third quarter of 1999 than in
the third quarter of 1998. The use of cash is primarily attributable to the
Company's acquisition program and capital expenditures.

     Interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$12,629,000, an increase of $7,328,000 versus the comparable prior year period
primarily due to the impact of interest expense associated with the $100 million
and $85 million increases, respectively, in borrowings under the Company's
five-year $400 million and 364-day $400 million line of credit facilities from
September 30, 1998 to September 30, 1999. These increases are primarily
attributable to the Company's acquisition program. Also impacting the quarterly
comparison is the full quarter impact in the third quarter of 1999 of interest
expense associated with a $250 million draw on the Company's five-year $400
million line of credit facility late in the third quarter of 1998 in connection
with the Company's acquisition of the pharmacy business of Extendicare, Inc.

     The decrease in the effective tax rate to 35.1% in the third quarter of
1999 from 35.8% in the comparable prior year quarter is primarily attributable
to the favorable tax effect associated with the Company's reversal of estimated
acquisition-related expenses for prior year pooling-of-interests transactions,
based on the finalization of these transaction costs.

Year-to-Date September 1999 vs. 1998

     Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
were $.71 versus the $.78 per diluted share earned in the same period of 1998,
net of acquisition expenses related to pooling-of-interests transactions and
restructuring charges from both periods. Net income, on this basis, for the
first nine months of 1999 was $64,833,000 as compared to the $70,058,000 earned
in the comparable 1998 period. Revenues of $1,374,340,000 in the first nine
months of 1999 were 27% higher than the $1,082,099,000 recorded in the
comparable prior year period. The first nine months of 1999 include
restructuring charges and net pooling-of-interests expenses, totaling
$28,802,000 before taxes ($18,204,000 after taxes, or $0.20 per diluted share).
The comparable 1998 period includes pooling-of-interests expenses and
restructuring charges totaling $18,214,000 before taxes ($15,806,000 after
taxes, or $0.18 cents per diluted share).

     The increase in sales represents the cumulative effect of the Company's
acquisitions of long-term care pharmacy providers, and continued internal growth
of the pharmacy services and contract research organization businesses. The
favorable impact of these factors on sales was partially offset by the
aforementioned unfavorable impact of PPS, which is also responsible for the
decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales and net income in comparison to
the prior year.

     During the first three quarters of 1999, the Company acquired five
institutional pharmacy providers (excluding insignificant purchases of other
assets) which, when combined with internal growth, brought the total number of
nursing facility residents served to 628,000 at September 30, 1999. These
transactions added approximately $65.5 million in revenues on an annualized
basis.

     Internal growth resulted from the efforts of the Company's National Sales
and Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new pharmacy contracts,
drug price inflation, significant growth in other complementary
non-pharmaceutical service businesses (primarily the CRO Services segment, as
previously discussed) and other changes in sales mix.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 28.7% in 1999 from 30.2%
in 1998. The positive impact on gross profit relating to the Company's
purchasing leverage associated with purchases of pharmaceuticals, leveraging
fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies, benefits realized
from the Company's formulary compliance program and productivity and
consolidation initiative, and changes in sales mix including increased sales
from contract research organizations were more than offset by the aforementioned
unfavorable impact of PPS on the Pharmacy Services segment.

     Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
28% to $258,417,000 as compared to 1998 due primarily to the overall growth of
the Company. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales of 18.8% in 1999 were
relatively consistent with the 18.7% experienced in the prior year.

     Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$915,000, a decrease of $2,131,000 in comparison to the same period of 1998 due
to a lower average invested cash balance during the first three quarters of 1999
as compared to 1998. The use of


                                       13







<PAGE>


cash is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition program and, to
a lesser extent, capital expenditures.

     Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$33,458,000, an increase of $18,951,000 versus the comparable prior year period
primarily due to the impact of interest expense associated with the $100 million
and $85 million increases, respectively, in borrowings under the Company's
five-year $400 million and 364-day $400 million line of credit facilities from
September 30, 1998 to September 30, 1999. These increases are primarily
attributable to the Company's acquisition program. Also impacting the
period-to-period comparison is the nine month effect in 1999 of interest expense
associated with a $250 million draw on the Company's five-year $400 million line
of credit facility late in the third quarter of 1998 in connection with the
Company's acquisition of the pharmacy business of Extendicare, Inc.

     The decrease in the effective tax rate to 37.0% during the first three
quarters of 1999 from 42.3% in the comparable prior year period is primarily
attributable to a reduction in nondeductible acquisition expenses relating to
the 1999 pooling-of-interests transaction as compared to the 1998
pooling-of-interests transactions, and a decrease in state and local income
taxes in 1999 due to the Company's state tax planning programs. The Company
expects the benefit realized from the state tax planning programs to continue.
The effective tax rates in the 1999 and 1998 periods are higher than the
statutory rate primarily due to state and local income taxes and various
nondeductible expenses (e.g., acquisition costs, etc.).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999 were $93.6 million versus
$54.3 million at December 31, 1998. Acquisitions of businesses through September
30, 1999 required $135.7 million of cash payments (including amounts payable
pursuant to acquisition agreements relating to pre-1999 acquisitions) which were
primarily funded by borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facilities
during the first half of 1999. In October 1996, the Company entered into a
five-year agreement with a consortium of sixteen banks for a $400 million
revolving credit facility available through 2001. In December 1998, the Company
amended this five-year $400 million line of credit to permit an additional
364-day $400 million line of credit, which is convertible at maturity into a
one-year term loan. During the third quarter of 1999, Omnicare renewed this
364-day $400 million revolving line of credit through September 2, 2000, with
no change in pricing or terms. Interest rates and commitment fees for the
five-year $400 million line of credit facility are based on the Company's level
of performance under certain financial ratios, debt covenants and the amount of
borrowings under the line of credit. The total amount outstanding under this
facility as of September 30, 1999 was $390 million. Interest rates and
commitment fees under the 364-day $400 million line of credit are based on the
Company's debt ratings. The amount outstanding at September 30, 1999 under the
364-day facility was $85 million. The Company generated positive net cash flows
from operating activities of $63.7 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, $33.0 million of which was generated in the third quarter.
Improved management of working capital significantly contributed to the
favorable third quarter 1999 operating cash flow results.


                                       14

     The Company's capital requirements are primarily related to its acquisition
program and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures, including those related
to investments in the Company's information technology systems such as its Year
2000 compliance initiative. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Company made five acquisitions (excluding insignificant purchases of other
assets), as well as payments relating to individually insignificant purchases of
other assets and disbursements relating to amounts payable pursuant to
acquisition agreements relating to pre-1999 acquisitions. Such acquisition
activity was financed from cash and cash equivalents and the issuance of
approximately 483,000 shares of common stock. There are no material commitments
outstanding at September 30, 1999, other than estimated future
acquisition-related payments to be made in accordance with purchase agreements.

     The Company's current ratio at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was
2.2 to 1.0 and 2.6 to 1.0, respectively. The decrease in the current ratio is
primarily attributable to current liabilities recorded relating to the September
2, 2000 maturity date for the $85 million borrowed under the 364-day $400
million line of credit, as well as the remaining reserve of approximately $22
million recorded in connection with the Company's aforementioned productivity
and consolidation initiative.

     On February 3, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors increased the
quarterly cash dividend by 13% to 2.25 cents per share for an indicated annual
rate of 9 cents per share in 1999. Dividends of $ 6.1 million were paid during
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 versus the $5.1 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.

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 that are not Year 2000 compliant, Omnicare is currently correcting,
upgrading or replacing those systems with, among other systems, its new
proprietary information system, which 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 latter part of 1999. The system remediation is
being completed using both internal resources and external consultants. The
Company estimates that the total costs associated with this project will range
from approximately $7.7 million to $8.4 million (with hardware accounting for
approximately 30 percent of these costs and software and implementation
approximating 70 percent of these costs). Approximately $6.5 million has been
spent to date. The cost of this project is being funded 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.


                                       15







<PAGE>



     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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading
purposes and does not hedge any of its market risks with derivative instruments.

     The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk
exposure through its borrowings. The Company's debt obligations at September 30,
1999 includes $390 million outstanding under its five-year $400 million
variable-rate revolving line of credit facility at an approximate average rate
of 6.4% at September 30, 1999 (a one-hundred basis point change in interest
rates would impact interest expense by approximately $1.0 million per quarter),
$85 million outstanding under its 364-day $400 million variable-rate revolving
line of credit facility at an approximate average rate of 6.4% at September 30,
1999 (a one-hundred basis point change in interest rates would impact interest
expense by approximately $0.2 million per quarter) and $345 million outstanding
under convertible subordinated notes due in 2007, which accrue interest at a
fixed rate of 5%. The fair value of the Company's debt obligations approximates
their carrying value.

                       AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

     This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") is entered into as of September 3,
1999 by and among OMNICARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the
undersigned lenders (collectively, the "Lenders") and THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
CHICAGO, as one of the Lenders and in its capacity as contractual representative
(the "Agent") on behalf of itself and the other Lenders.

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into that
certain 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 1998 (the "Credit
Agreement");

     WHEREAS, the Borrower seeks to amend the Credit Agreement to extend the
maturity thereof; and

     WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Agent are willing to amend the Credit
Agreement on the terms and conditions herein set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as

     7. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS (INCLUDING 735 ILCS 105/5-1 ET SEQ. BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD
TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT
TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

     8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of

      convertible into 8,712,121 shares at $39.60 per share were outstanding
      during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, but
      were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the impact was
      anti-dilutive.
