Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in
     this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the
     financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
     annual report.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The
     statements herein have been prepared in accordance with the Company's
     understanding of the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of
     management, such financial statements include all adjustments necessary to
     present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash
     flows, for the interim periods.

2.   Supplementary Income Statement Information

     Investment income (non-insurance) in the second quarter of 1995 and 1994
     was $3,307 and $2,496, respectively.  Investment income in the first six

     The Company reclassified the current deferred income tax asset from "other
     current liabilities" to "other current assets".  The balance sheet at
     December 3, 1994 was restated to reflect this change.  This asset was $20.3
     million at December 3, 1994 and $21.3 million at June 3, 1995.

4.   Earnings per Common Share

     Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the
     average number of common shares outstanding during each period (70,798,713
     for the three months of 1995; 70,841,730 for the six months of 1995;
     71,411,324 for the three months of 1994; and 71,394,798 for the six months
     of 1994).  Under a program begun in 1983, the Company has acquired to date
     10,968,672 shares of common stock of which 1,497,889 shares have been
     reissued for general corporate purposes.  The remaining treasury stock has
     been excluded in determining the average number of shares outstanding
     during each period.  Common share equivalents arising from shares awarded
     under the Senior Executive Compensation Program which was initiated in
     fiscal year 1978 and various deferred share equivalents have also been
     excluded from the computation because of their insignificant dilutive
     effect.

5.   Accounting Changes

     Effective December 4, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
     Debt and Equity Securities."  In accordance with the provisions of this
     standard, investment assets of the Company's insurance subsidiary
     (Forethought) classified as "available-for-sale" were written up from
     their amortized cost of $1,298.9 million, $2.2 million, to their fair
     value of $1,301.1 million on June 3, 1995.  The insurance deferred tax
     asset was decreased $767 thousand to record the income tax effect and
     shareholders' equity ("accumulated unrealized gain on investments") was
     increased $1.4 million.  Adoption of this standard did not affect results
     of operations or cash flows.



     Effective with the second quarter of 1995, the Company's statement of
     consolidated cash flows reflects certain changes in the reporting of the
     cash flows of its insurance subsidiary.  Cash flows relative to investments
     have been reclassified from operating activities to investing activities
     and expanded to disclose purchases, maturities and sales.  Premiums
     received and benefits paid on policies (long duration whole life policies)
     have been classified as financing activities.  Prior year results have
     been restated to conform to the current presentation.

6.   Contingencies

     In 1993, the Company's subsidiary, Hill-Rom, was notified that it was
     part of an investigation into the hospital bed industry by the Antitrust
     Division of the Department of Justice (the "DOJ").  As a result, the
     Company was issued a Civil Investigation Demand by the DOJ and served with
     a subpoena to allow review of internal Hill-Rom files and business
     practices to determine any irregularities.  On June 13, 1995, the Company
     was notified by the DOJ that the Department had officially closed this
     civil investigation with no action being taken.  This investigation did not
     have a significant effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
     operations or cash flows.

                                        7

     The Company has voluntarily entered into remediation agreements with
     environmental authorities, and has been issued Notices of Violation
     alleging violations of certain permit conditions.  Accordingly, the Company
     is in the process of implementing plans of abatement in compliance with
     agreements and regulations.  The Company has also been notified as a
     potentially responsible party in investigations of certain offsite disposal
     facilities.  The cost of all plans of abatement and waste site cleanups in
     which the Company is currently involved is not expected to exceed $10.0
     million.  The Company has provided adequate reserves in its financial
     statements for these matters.  Changes in environmental law might affect
     the Company's future operations, capital expenditures and earnings.  The
     cost of complying with these provisions is not known.

     The Company is subject to various other claims and contingencies arising
     out of the normal course of business, including those relating to
     commercial transactions, product liability, safety, health, taxes,
     environmental and other matters.  Management believes that the ultimate
     liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided or covered by
     insurance, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 1995 Compared with Second Quarter 1994

Net revenues of $404.9 million were up $22.2 million, or 5.8%, with growth
reported in both segments.  In the Funeral Services segment, Batesville Casket
Company revenues were higher due to a first quarter price increase, growth in
traditional burial casket unit volume and increased sales of Options-TM-
cremation products (cremation caskets and urns).  At Forethought, investment
income grew significantly due to a larger investment portfolio and higher
yields.  Earned premium revenue was higher due to increased insurance in force.
However, policy sales in the second quarter were below the comparable period in
1994 due primarily to product changes designed to enhance Forethought's overall
long term profitability.  Revenues in the Health Care segment increased only
modestly.  Net revenues of Hill-Rom's combined operations were up marginally in
the second quarter, year over year. Orders for capital products in the U.S.
acute care market remain soft and shipments in the second quarter were below the
prior year.  Therapy rental revenues in the long-term care and home care
markets continued to grow year over year as increased units in use were
partially offset by lower average rental rates reflecting a shift in product
mix.  Hill-Rom's European operations reported net revenue growth in the second
quarter.  Increased therapy rental revenue and the effect of exchange rates


                                        8


<PAGE>

were largely offset by lower capital shipments.   Sales at Block Medical
increased due to higher disposable infusion pump unit volume, partially offset
by lower per unit selling prices, and increased ambulatory electronic pump
shipments.  Medeco Security Locks reported revenue growth as increased sales in
its route management and door security businesses were partially offset by lower
other OEM and export sales.

Gross profit of $180.1 million was up $1.2 million, or 0.7%, compared with the
second quarter of 1994.  As a percentage of  net revenues, gross profit declined
from 46.8% in 1994 to 44.5% in 1995.  In the Funeral Services segment,
Batesville Casket's margins were favorably affected by unit volume growth of
traditional caskets, partially offset by increased sales of lower margin
cremation products.  Forethought's profitability was negatively affected by an
increase in the crediting rate on policies in force which was implemented in the
fourth quarter of 1994 for competitive reasons.  The crediting rate is the
interest rate that Forethought uses to grow the face amount on insurance
policies to have the benefit grow with inflation.  Margins in the Health Care
segment continue to run below 1994 levels.  Hill-Rom's gross profit margin was
negatively affected by European operations (lower margin products combined
with operating inefficiencies, especially in Germany), the decline in U.S.
acute care capital shipments, increased used furniture sales (lower margin
products), increased discount levels, and lower average therapy rental rates.
Block and Medeco both realized improved profitability due to increased operating
efficiency and higher sales.

Administrative, distribution and selling expenses increased $9.8 million, or
8.1%.  As a percentage of revenues they increased from 31.7% to 32.3%.  The
Funeral Services segment continues to benefit from improved efficiency and
economies of scale at both Batesville Casket and Forethought as growth in these
expenses was well below the growth in revenues.  In the Health Care segment,
these expenses and their relationship to revenues were, as in the first
quarter, negatively affected by European operations (especially Germany), lower
capital shipments in the U.S. acute care market and increased new product
development costs, partially offset by lower expenses related to the integration
of Hill-Rom and SSI and improved efficiency at Block and Medeco.

In summary, consolidated operating profit of $49.2 million declined $8.6
million, or 14.9%.  The Funeral Services segment was up as growth at Batesville
Casket was partially offset by the decline at Forethought.  Health Care segment
operating profit was down significantly due to Hill-Rom's performance, with both
Block and Medeco reporting improvement.

Interest expense of $5.4 million was down $1.2 million due to interest in 1994
on a $75.0 million note relative to the acquisition of SSI Medical Services in
1985 that was paid-off during the second quarter of 1994.  This was partially
offset by higher levels of debt in Europe.

Other income, net, includes interest income and other miscellaneous income and
expense.  Compared with 1994, higher miscellaneous expenses associated with
European operations were partially offset by higher interest income.

                                        9


<PAGE>

Six Months Ended June 3, 1995 Compared with Six Months Ended May 28, 1994

Net revenues of $801.1 million were up $41.0 million, or 5.4%.  Revenues in the
Funeral Services segment grew due to increased prices and growth in cremation
product sales, partially offset by lower traditional burial casket unit volume
in the first quarter at Batesville Casket.  At Forethought, higher investment
income and earned premium revenue (reflecting increased insurance in force)
offset the effect of lower policy sales in the second quarter of 1995.  Year to
date revenues in the Health Care segment were up marginally for essentially the
same reasons discussed under second quarter results, although growth was
slightly higher than for the second quarter due to the acquisition of L. & C.
Arnold AG by Hill-Rom in February of 1994.

Gross profit of $355.7 million was down $1.4 million, or 0.4%.  As a percentage
of revenues, gross profit declined from 47.0% to 44.4%.  In addition to the
issues  discussed under second quarter results, the Funeral Services segment was
negatively affected by casket unit volume shortfalls at Batesville Casket in the
first quarter.  Margin declines in the Health Care segment were consistent with
the second quarter.

Administrative, distribution and selling expenses increased $22.5 million, or
9.6%.  As a percentage of revenues they increased from 30.8% to 32.0%.  Year to
date comparisons are consistent with the second quarter.

Consolidated operating profit of $99.1 million declined $23.8 million, or 19.4%.
Both Batesville Casket and Forethought reported growth in the Funeral Services
segment.  In the Health Care segment, the significant decline in operating
profit at Hill-Rom was partially offset by improvement at Block and Medeco.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Net cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings represent the
Company's primary sources of funds for growth of the business, including capital
expenditures and acquisitions.  Cash and cash equivalents (excluding the
investments of insurance operations) increased from $120.4 million at the end of
1994 to $162.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 1995.



                                       10


<PAGE>

Net cash flows from operating activities of $81.8 million were $20.7 million
higher than in the first six months of 1994.  Lower net income was offset by a
smaller increase in net working capital.  Accounts receivable have declined
$18.0 million from year end 1994 due primarily to lower capital shipments at
Hill-Rom.  Days sales outstanding was 72 at quarter-end compared with 78 at
year-end 1994.  Inventories were up $17.5 million reflecting increased field
evaluation units at Hill-Rom.  Annualized inventory turns on revenues of 11.7
fell from 13.7 at year-end 1994.

Capital expenditures of $43.1 million were $11.0 million lower than in 1994 due
to reduced production of therapy rental units at Hill-Rom, vehicle replacements
and other items.  Acquisitions in the first half of 1994 consisted primarily
of Arnold and Industrias Arga, a Mexican casket manufacturer and distributor.
Forethought's investment strategy is to purchase high grade investment
securities with maturities that match the expected cash outflows of policy
benefit payments.  For this reason, securities in excess of $100.0 million
were sold in the second quarter of 1995 (at a small capital gain) with the
proceeds reinvested in securities with longer durations to better match the
expected future benefit payments.

Additions to debt in the first half of 1995 were related to European operations.
In the first quarter of 1994, the Company issued $100.0 million of its 7%
Debentures and, in the second quarter, prepaid a $75.0 million note relative to
the acquisition of SSI.  The long-term debt-to-equity ratio was 28.5% on June 3,
1995 compared with 30.1% at year-end.  Additional debt capacity affords the
Company considerable flexibility in the funding of future growth.  The decline
in insurance premiums received reflects the lower policy unit sales as discussed
in "results of operations".  The increase in benefits paid was due
primarily to increased insurance in force.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company expects that shipments to U.S. acute care hospitals will remain soft
for the near future.  There is a growing trend to minimize hospital stays in the
U.S. which is driving the growth in sub-acute markets, including long-term care
and home care.  Operating losses in certain European markets will continue until
after restructuring efforts are completed.  Higher than anticipated operating
losses in Europe, combined with lower than expected U.S. earnings before tax,
would cause the Company to increase its fiscal 1995 consolidated effective
income tax rate in the second half of the year.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In 1993, the Company's subsidiary, Hill-Rom, was notified that it was part of
an investigation into the hospital bed industry by the Antitrust Division of
the Department of Justice (the "DOJ").  As a result, the Company was issued a
Civil Investigation Demand by the DOJ and served with a subpoena to allow review
of internal Hill-Rom files and business practices to determine any
irregularities.  On June 13, 1995, the Company was notified by the DOJ that the
Department had officially closed this civil investigation with no action being
taken.  This investigation did not have a significant effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
