                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (unaudited)


NOTE A.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X.  Consequently, they do not
include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of the
management of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National"), the financial
statements presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
results of operations, and cash flows of National and its subsidiaries for the
periods indicated.  For additional information concerning the accounting
policies of National, refer to the consolidated financial statements included in
the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1996.

NOTE B.  Earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective
periods.  The dilution that would result from shares issuable under National's
1986, 1988, and 1995 Stock Incentive Plans is not material.

                Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
                      of Financial Condition and Results
                                of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
National Sanitary Supply Company's sales for the second quarter ended June 30,
1996 were $77,210,000, a 10% decrease from sales of $85,571,000 in the second
quarter of 1995.  Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $1,321,000, a 4%
decrease from net income of $1,370,000 in the prior-year second quarter. 
Earnings per share of $0.22 for the second quarter of 1996 decreased 4% from
earnings per share of $0.23 in the comparable prior-year quarter.

National's second-quarter results reflect the effects of the previously
announced loss of a large fast-food customer in the first quarter of 1996.  It
was acticipated that the loss of this large customer in our southwest operating
group would temper our 1996 sales and profit growth. The second-quarter results,
which were in line with our expectations, benefited from a strong performance in
the western operations, along with an improvement in the midwestern operations.

The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1996 improved 2.1% points from
31.1% in 1995 to 33.2% in 1996.  Operating expenses as a percentage of sales in
the second quarter of 1996 increased 2.1% points from 27.5% in 1995 to 29.6% in
1996, offsetting the improvement in the gross profit margin. The change reflects
the loss of low-margin sales to the large fast-food customer, which
correspondingly had lower associated operating expenses.
The decline in Chemed interest expense from $625,000 in the second quarter of
1995 to $387,000 in the second quarter of 1996 reflects the continued
improvement in National's financial condition.  Debt as a percent of total
capital decreased from 30.2% at June 30, 1995 to 22.6% at June 30, 1996.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, National's sales of $154,487,000
decreased 7% from sales of $166,364,000 in the comparable period of 1995.  Net
income for the first half of 1996 was $2,153,000, a 1% increase over the prior-
year first half net income of $2,129,000.  Earnings per share of $0.35 for the
first six months of 1996 were equal to those recorded for the comparable prior-
year period.

The year-to-date performance reflects the loss of the large fast-food account
and a significant increase in cash flow due to a reduction in working capital.

The improvement in the gross profit margin after six months compared with the
same period of 1995 was offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percent
of sales.  The change in both categories was due to the loss of the large fast-
food account.

The decrease in Chemed interest expense from $1,287,000 in the first six months
of 1995 to $817,000 in the first six months of 1996 reflects a reduction in debt
with Chemed Corporation from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996 of $7,122,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The decrease in accounts receivable and inventories primarily reflects the loss
of the large fast-food account.  The cash flow from these accounts was used
primarily to repay loans to Chemed which decreased $4,538,000 from $6,989,000 at
December 1995 to $2,451,000 at June 30, 1996.

Management believes that the company's cash flow from operations and other
sources of liquidity are sufficient for its needs.

excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.
