               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors
  and Shareholders
CompScript, Inc.

We have audited the balance sheets of CompScript, Inc. as of September 30, 1994
and 1995, and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. 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 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 1994 and 1995 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CompScript, Inc. and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    December 31, 1995 and 1994 is unaudited)


1. THE COMPANY

Aldencare, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Florida on October 3, 1991. The Company was organized for the purpose of
supplying prescription pharmaceuticals, consulting, enteral and parental
therapies, and home health care services to long-term and alternate care
providers.

In June 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
CompScript, Inc. (CompScript) through the issuance of 399,740 shares of common
stock to the former owners of CompScript in exchange for all of the then
outstanding common stock of CompScript. The common stock of CompScript was
retired, and its assets and operations were merged with those of the Company;
although they are segregated in the accounting records of the Company as the
Ohio Division. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company changed its name to
CompScript, Inc.

An additional 399,740 shares of common stock were placed in escrow pending the
future attainment of specified operating results by the Ohio Division as
outlined in the acquisition agreement. This transaction was recorded as a
purchase because of the contingent issuance of additional shares of common stock
based upon the future operations of the Ohio Division.

As a result of this acquisition, fixed assets of $48,409 were acquired and
goodwill in the amount of $3,948,991 was recorded. The 399,740 shares issued
were valued at $10 per share which was the price paid by outside investors in
the most recent offering of common stock. The value of the 399,740 shares placed
in escrow were never included in the purchase price because there was no
assurance that the Ohio Division would attain the specified operating results
within the required time period. In February 1996, the former owners of
CompScript and management of the Company mutually agreed that the contingent
shares held in escrow were to be permanently eliminated.

The Ohio Division provides insurance administration services and promotional
services for its mail-order pharmacy division in the State of Ohio. The
operating results from June 2, 1994 through September 30, 1994 have been
included in the statement of income for the year ended September 30, 1994.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out method, and market represents the lower of replacement cost
or estimated net realizable value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of equipment and
amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from five
to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue and the related cost of sales are recognized when services are provided
or products are delivered.

INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in fiscal 1994. Under this method, deferred
income taxes at the end of each period are determined based on the differences
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates for the years in which the taxes are expected to be paid
or recovered.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 1994
and 1995 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all
significant adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The
data disclosed in these notes to the financial statements for these periods is
also unaudited.

FASB STATEMENT NO. 121

In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This
statement, which is effective for the Company's financial statements for its
1997 fiscal year, requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles to be
held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are expected to
result from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying amount over
the fair value of the assets. The Company will review for impairment of its
long-lived assets in its fiscal 1997 year using the methodology prescribed by
FASB Statement No. 121.

FASB STATEMENT NO. 123

In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The new standard, which is effective for the Company's financial
statements for its 1996 fiscal year, encourages companies to use the fair value
method of accounting for the issuance of stock options and other equity
instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the
grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the
service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to FASB Statement
No. 123, companies are also permitted to continue to account for employee
stock-based transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but would be required to disclose in
a note to the financial statements pro forma net income and per share amounts as
if the Company had applied the new method of accounting.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Currently, the Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25 to account for
its employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, if the exercise price of
the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

The Company has not yet determined if it will elect to change its method of
accounting for the issuance of stock options and other equity instruments to the
fair value method, nor has it determined the effect the new standard will have
on its operating results and per share results should it elect to make such a
change.

4. GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

At December 31, 1995, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of
approximately $3.6 million, with no associated tax benefit, related to the 1994
acquisition of its Ohio Division. The Ohio Division was purchased to be the
Company's entry into the workers compensation, pharmacy benefits management
(PBM) line of business. During the three months ended December 31, 1995, the
contracts attributed to the Ohio Division generated minimal revenue due in part
to the nonexclusive nature of the contracts. In addition, the inability of the
Ohio Division to convert existing relationships with prospective clients into
new PBM contracts or to secure new prospective clients has contributed to
significant operating losses and negative cash flows relative to the Ohio
Division.  Based on the continuing poor financial results and the failure to 
obtain new

contracts, the Company believes that the PBM business acquired with the Ohio
Division will not generate positive cash flows in the foreseeable future and the
strategy to implement this line of business within the Ohio Division, will no
longer be a priority of the Company. Therefore, the Company wrote-off the
unamortized carrying value of the goodwill of approximately $3.6 million on
December 31, 1995.

5. NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has entered into various notes payable bearing interest at rates
ranging from 6% to 10% and expiring at various dates through June 1998. The
outstanding balances as of September 30, 1994 and 1995, and December 31, 1995
are $36,120, $31,121 and $26,077, respectively.

At September 30, 1995, annual payments on notes payable are as follows:

         1996                                              $18,469
         1997                                                9,877

6. LINE OF CREDIT

In May 1995, the Company entered into a line-of-credit agreement which permits
borrowings up to $750,000. The line of credit is due upon demand and is secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest is payable monthly
at prime plus .25% (9.00% and 8.75% at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995,
respectively) with a .25% fee on the unused portion of the line. Approximately
$35,000 and $122,000 is outstanding at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.

                                                    ==========================

The Company applied its effective tax rate of 82.4% for the year ended September
30, 1995 to pretax income of $114,068 to compute its provision for income taxes
of $93,954 for the three months ended December 31, 1994. The Company did not
recognize a tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 1995, as the
Company expects to generate taxable income for the year ended September 30,
1996.

8. LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has various operating leases, primarily relating to branch offices
and warehouse facilities. The leases have various renewal options and often
require the Company to make additional payments for maintenance costs. The
commitment on the primary branch office is under a five-year lease expiring
December 31, 1996 and subject to escalation clauses as defined in the lease
agreement. Total rent expense for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1995
and for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 amounted to $80,477,
$94,144, $27,253 and $27,683, respectively.

9. PROFIT SHARING PLAN

In 1993, the Company established a profit sharing savings plan (the Plan) that
qualifies as a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Under the Plan, participating employees may defer up to 20% of
their pre-tax salary before reduction, but not more than approximately $9,240
per plan year. The Company may make matching or other contributions to the Plan.
There have been no Company contributions to the Plan for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1994 and 1995 and during the three months ended December 31, 1994
and 1995.

10. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In October 1994, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Option Plan). The
Option Plan provides for the granting of both incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options for the purchase of up to 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Under the Option Plan, incentive stock options were
granted during 1995 to purchase 19,100 shares of the Company's common stock for
a period of eight years from October 1996 at an exercise price of $10 per share.
There were no nonqualified options granted as of December 31, 1995. There were
no options exercised during the year.
