OPTION CARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1999

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the 
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 16 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating 
results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 
1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements 
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

2.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial 
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         On February 5, 1999, the Company entered into a $25 million Loan and 
Security Agreement ("Agreement") with a bank that replace the Company's former 
existing facility. The Agreement provides for borrowings up to $25 million 
and requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants including, but 
not limited to: fixed charge coverage ratio; debt ratio; and limitation on 
annual capital expenditures. The Agreement allowed the Company, among other 
things, to meet working capital needs and to retire in its entirety the 
Company's former facility. Under the Agreement, the Company is subject to an 
early termination fee if the loan is terminated prior to its natural 
expiration of February 2002. The Company paid a facility fee of $0.2 million 
at the time of signing of the Agreement. The Agreement provides for an annual 
commitment fee paid by the Company of 0.25% on the average daily unused 
amount of the facility. The Agreement prohibits the Company from declaring 
any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company may elect interest rates 
ranging from various LIBOR periods plus a 2.125% margin, to the bank's 
reference rate. The average interest rate for outstanding borrowings under 
the line was 7.2% at March 31, 1999.

         Borrowing availability under the facility is related to a percentage 
of the Company's net outstanding account receivable balances, less certain 
ineligible amounts, as defined in the Agreement. The facility is secured by 
all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition to 
the Company's assets, the John N. Kapoor Trust, dated September 20, 1989, 
(the "Trust"), has pledged an irrevocable letter of credit totaling $5 million 
in favor of the lending bank to support borrowings, if any, that exceed the 
allowable collateral base as defined in the Agreement. Overall borrowings 
allowable under the Agreement are limited to the lessor of $25 million or, 
the total allowable collateral base plus amounts available that are supported 
by the letters of credit. The Company has entered into an agreement with the 
Trust which provides the monthly payment of a monitoring fee as well as all 
expenses related to the set up and maintenance of the letter of credit.

         In the case of a draw on the letter of credit pledged, the Company may 


                                       7

elect, at its option, to issue to the Trust a Convertible Note (the "Note") 
for the amount of such draw. The Trust has the option, at any time up to and 
including January 31, 2000 or until the Note has been paid in full, to 
convert all or a portion of the unpaid amount of such Note into Common Stock 
of the Company, at a price equal to the average closing price per share of 
the Common Stock during the five days preceding the receipt of the Note.

4.       NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

         The reconciliation of net income per weighted average common share for 
the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows (in thousands,

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

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. 
Any forward looking statements in the following discussion relating to 
financial results, performance, acquisitions, business development 
activities, competition or future regulation, involve risks and uncertainties 
that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future. These 
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainties 
relating to acquisitions and divestitures, availability of capital to fund 
operations and acquisitions, sales and renewals of franchisees, government 
and regulatory policies, general economic conditions and change in the 
competitive environment in which the Company operates.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

         Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $28.9 million, 
an increase of $2.3 million or 8.6% from the $26.6 million reported for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998. Revenue from patient care services 
increased $3.4 million, offset by a $0.9 million decline in product and 
network management revenue and a $0.2 million decline in royalty fee revenue. 
The increase in patient care services is primarily attributable to a 14.7% 
increase in same store sales. The decline in product and network management 
revenue is largely the result of management's earlier decision to transition 
to direct billing of franchisees by selected manufacturers. Revenue for 
patient care services through the company-owned locations for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1999, represented 90.7% of total revenues, while royalty fees 
represented 6.9% and product and network management represented 2.4% of total 
revenue.

         Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 was 39.5% compared to 42.3% for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998. The decline in gross margin is due primarily to the 
revenue mix as more revenue was generated in the first quarter of 1999 from 
lower margin revenue sources than in the first quarter of 1998. During the 
three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company changed its methodology for 
determining gross margin. The Company determined that the change in 
methodology was more appropriate and provided a better indication of the 
actual gross margin provided for by the revenue. Amounts from 1998 were 
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

         Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 
were $9.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 6% from operating expenses 
of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Total operating 
expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 33.1% for first quarter 1999 
compared to 34.0% for the comparable period in the prior year. This decline 
is primarily due to better productivity of selling, general and administrative 
expenses which, as a percentage of revenue, declined to 30.4% in the first 
quarter of 1999 from 31.6% in 1998. The provision for doubtful accounts for 
the first quarter of 1999 remained relatively consistent with the first 
quarter of 1998 at approximately 2% of revenue.

         Interest expense decreased to $0.3 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 from $0.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior 
year as the amount of debt outstanding was reduced by 46.4% from $26.8 million 
at March 31, 1998 to $14.3 million at March 31, 1999.

         The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 was 
42.0%, resulting in net income of $0.8 million, or $0.07 per share (basic and 
diluted). For the first quarter of 1998 the effective tax rate was 45.4% and 
net income was $0.9 million or $0.08 per share (basic and diluted). As a 
percentage of revenue, net income for first quarter 1999 was 2.6% compared to 
3.2% for first quarter 1998

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash flow from operations increased $1.4 million or 51.9% for 
the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998, due to 
increased cash collections of the Company's outstanding account receivable 
balances. Net cash flows used by investing activities decreased by $0.4 
million for the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998, 
mainly due to reductions in purchases of equipment. Net cash flow used by 
financing activities increased by $5.5 million in the first quarter of 1999 
compared to the same period in 1998, due to the retirement in its entirety of 
the Company's former credit facility and reduced borrowings under the 
Company's new facility as excess cash and the Company's operating cash flow 
reduced the amount needed under the new facility.

         As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no cash and cash equivalents, 
compared to $3.7 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 as 
the Company, upon replacing its former debt facility on February 5, 1999, 
re-continued its policy of reducing its outstanding debt with its excess cash 
flow.

         Management believes that cash flow from operations, cash on hand and 
amounts available under the new Agreement, will be sufficient to meet the 
cash needs of the business for the immediate future. In the event that 
additional capital is required, management cannot assure that such capital 
can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.

         On February 5, 1999, the Company entered into a $25 million Loan and 
Security Agreement ("Agreement") with a bank that replaced a previous 
facility. The Agreement provides for borrowings up to $25 million and 
requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants including, but not 
limited to: fixed charge coverage ratio; debt ratio; and limitation on annual 
capital expenditures. The Agreement provides for, among other things, the 
ability to meet working capital needs and to retire in its entirety the 
Company's then existing facility. The Company is subject to an early 
termination fee if the loan is terminated prior to its natural expiration of 
February 2002. The Company paid a facility fee of $0.2 million at the time of 
signing the Agreement. The Agreement provides for an annual commitment fee 
paid by the Company of 0.25% on the average daily unused amount of the 
facility. The Agreement prohibits the Company from declaring any cash 
dividends on its common stock. The Company may elect interest rates ranging 
from various LIBOR periods plus a 2.125% margin, to the bank's reference rate.

         Availability under the facility is related to a percentage of the 
Company's net outstanding account receivable balances, less certain ineligible 
amounts, as defined in the Agreement. The facility is secured by all of the 
issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition to the 
Company's assets, the John N. Kapoor Trust, dated September 20, 1989, (the 
"Trust"), has pledged an irrevocable letter of credit totaling $5 million in 
favor of the lending bank to support borrowings, if any, that exceed the 
allowable collateral base as defined in the Agreement. Overall borrowings 
allowable under the Agreement are limited to the lessor of $25 million or, 
the total allowable collateral base plus amounts available that are supported 
by the letters of credit. The Company has entered into an agreement with the 
Trust which provides the monthly payment of a monitoring fee as well as all 
expenses related to the set up and maintenance of the letter of credit.

         In the case of a draw on the letter of credit pledged, the Company 
may elect, at its option, to issue to the Trust a Convertible Note (the 
"Note") for the amount of such draw. The Trust has the option, at any time up 
to and including January 31, 2000 or until the Note has been paid in full, to 
convert all or a portion of the unpaid amount of such Note into Common Stock 
of the Company, at a price equal to the average closing price per share of 
the Common Stock during the five days preceding the receipt of the Note.

         There are currently various proposals under development to enact 
healthcare reform on a national, state and local level. It is not possible at 
this time to predict the cash flow impact, if any, which any such changes may 
have on providers of home healthcare services and on Option Care locations.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE


                                       10

<PAGE>

         The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written 
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer 
equipment, software and devices with imbedded technology that are time 
sensitive may treat years as occurring between 1900 and the end of 1999 and 
may not self-convert to reflect the upcoming change in the century. If not 
corrected, this problem could result in system failures or miscalculations 
and erroneous results by, or at, Year 2000.

         Currently, the Company is continuing its program to understand the 
nature and extent of the work required to make its systems Year 2000 
compliant. This program encompasses the Company's operating information and 
facilities systems, and the readiness of customers, third-party payers, 
vendors and other third parties with which the Company does business. The 
program includes the following phases : awareness and inventory, detailed 
assessment and resolution, testing, deployment and contingency plan 
development for all areas.

         To date, the Company has completed an internal review of its 
computer equipment and software systems and other equipment with imbedded 
technology, and is in the early stages of completion of the other phases of 
its program, including the implementation of remediation measures for certain 
identified systems, ordinary course replacement of equipment and software 
with replacements which are Year 2000 complaint, and a comprehensive review 
of customers, vendors and other third parties to determine the extent to 
which interfaces with such entities are vulnerable to Year 2000 issues. The 
Company's objective is to become Year 2000 compliant with its critical 
systems prior to the end of the third quarter of 1999, with substantial time 
for further testing, verification and conversion of less important activities 
and systems.

         The total cost of the Year 2000 project to date has not been 
material. Based on the program to date, the Company does not expect that 
future costs of modifications will have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's financial position or results of operations and that currently 
anticipated costs to be incurred by the Company with respect to Year 2000 
issues will be funded from operating cash flows. However, if all Year 2000 
issues are not properly identified, or assessment, remediation and testing 
are not effected timely with respect to Year 2000 problems that are 
identified, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not 
materially adversely impact the Company's results of operations or adversely 
affect the Company's relationships with customers, vendors, or others. 
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of other 
entities will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's systems or 
results of operations.

         Because the Company expects that its internal systems will become 
Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, the Company believes that the most 
likely worst case scenario would result from vendors or other third parties 
failing to achieve Year 2000 compliance. Depending upon the number of third 
parties, their identity and the nature of the noncompliance, the Year 2000 
issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial 
position or results of operations. The Company has not yet developed full 
contingency plans for any critical problems which may occur in any of the 
assessment areas noted above, but anticipates that such plans will be 
completed by September, 1999.

bank that replaces the existing outstanding facility. The Agreement provides 
for borrowings up to $25 million and requires the Company to meet certain 
financial covenants including, but not limited to: fixed charge coverage 
ratio; debt ratio; and limitation on annual capital expenditures. Under the
