TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RoTech is pleased to announce that fiscal 1996 was our eighth consecutive year
of record growth in revenue and earnings. We have grown to 366 home health care
locations in 28 states. Our internal growth in fiscal 1996 was 14% with the
remainder of our growth from fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996 acquisitions. The
opportunities for further consolidation coupled with the growth of the home care
industry make for exciting times for RoTech. The following table shows our
growth over the last five years:



          Net Operating              Net Income    Wtd. Average
             Revenue     Net Income   per Share    No. of Shares

 1992          37,122       3,686        0.30         12,350


    (all amounts are shown in 000's except fully diluted per share amounts)

Two years ago, RoTech made a commitment to expand our presence in the Western 
United States. During fiscal 1996 we entered New Mexico, Utah and Arizona while 
significantly enhancing our market presence in Colorado. We also remain the 
market leaders in Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota. In fiscal 1997 to date we 
have acquired companies with 31 locations including our first locations in
Kansas and Idaho. We have found the dynamics in non-urban America to be
consistent from region to region which should enable our ability to apply our
operating model upon entry into new markets.

In fiscal 1994 we had a renewed focus on respiratory therapy products and 
services. In fiscal 1995, we began to refocus on providing more home medical 
equipment to our patient bases, which is largely responsible for the strong 
internal growth rate experienced by the Company in fiscal 1996. We plan to 
continue to strengthen our existing businesses along with assessing the 
feasibility of new products and services for our patients. As technological 
advances provide products for use in the home care setting and as home care 
becomes more accessible and accepted, we should continue to experience growth in
our industry. This growth is required to manage the country's growing demand for
health care services for the aging population base within cost effective
parameters.
    
RoTech plans to focus on management and information systems in fiscal 1997 to 
improve our profitability and management capabilities. We also plan to continue 
to focus on internal growth opportunities with expanded product and service 
offerings in our existing operations. This strategy has been successful, as was 
proven this last year with our acquisition of Hooks Oxygen and Medical Equipment
in October 1995. Hooks' had strong name recognition in Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois but was losing money under its previous owners. Upon purchase, we
immediately replaced the information systems at Hooks' and gave each store on-
line capabilities. We began sales, marketing and operations training designed to
change the product mix and improve profitability. Within the first 9 months of
ownership, our rental and respiratory bases of business grew significantly in
those markets. Hooks' now posts pre-tax profitability of approximately twenty
percent of its operating revenue.     

The reimbursement and regulatory environments are a source of constant change 
which concern many shareholders. Modifications to the rules, procedures and 
allowable relationships can cause detrimental effects for the smaller home care 
company that may not be able to make necessary changes. RoTech is attentive to 
such changes and strives to minimize their impact on the Company by acting
quickly to implement the changes required. As we have experienced in the past,
changes to the framework within which we do business often create opportunities
for companies that can move swiftly.


                                       2


 


On May 21, RoTech issued a 100% stock dividend to accomplish a stock split. All 
of the numbers in this annual report have been restated to be comparable for the
years presented. Our hope was to enable the individual investor to purchase 
shares, as we get many requests for information about the Company in the smaller
towns where we do business. We have also seen additional institutional investors
establish ownership positions in the past year.

On June 1, 1996, we completed an offering of convertible subordinated debentures
and received proceeds of $110 million. We immediately paid off our line of
credit with the banking syndicate and renegotiated the line of credit to $200
million, of which $127 million is currently available. The Company had $37
million in positive cash flow from operations, compared to $17 million in the
prior year. We believe our cash flow from operations along with our credit
capacity will support our acquisition and growth strategies planned for the next
year.

The past few years at RoTech and in our industry have been exciting. We 
appreciate the support of our shareholders, patients and employees during these 
changing times as we continue to balance our goals of enhancing shareholder
value and providing quality home health care products and services to the
communities where we live. We hope you will continue with RoTech through the
challenges of the times to come.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - JULY 31, 1996

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

   RoTech Medical Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on September 1,
1981. The Company, through its subsidiaries, markets and provides home health
care products and services and rents home care equipment to patients. These
products and services, which are typically prescribed by a physician, include
home health care products (such as respiratory therapy equipment and
convalescent medical equipment) and home infusion therapy products and related
services.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RoTech Medical
Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

   Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due
to the large number and geographic distribution of patients, third-party payors,
and clients.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable to banks approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of
these items. Based on the current market rates offered for similar debt of the
same maturities, the carrying amount of the Company's Convertible Subordinated
Debentures approximates fair value at July 31, 1996.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

   Revenues are reported on the accrual basis in the period in which services
are provided. Operating revenue represents the estimated net realizable amounts
from patients, third-party payors, and others for services rendered.

   Rental income under short-term leasing arrangements is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease and approximated $130,060,000,
$59,017,000 and $31,142,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The provision
for doubtful accounts approximated $7,544,000, $4,499,000 and $3,377,000 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

INVENTORIES

   Inventories consist principally of durable medical equipment, medical
supplies and pharmaceutical products and are stated at the lower of cost (first-
in, first-out method) or market.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally
three to seven years).  Amortization of leasehold improvements is included in
depreciation.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
    
   The excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and other
intangibles ("intangible assets") is being amortized over 5 to 25 years on a
straight-line basis. The Company annually evaluates the realizability of
intangible assets by utilizing an operating income realization test for the
applicable businesses acquired. In addition, the Company considers the effects
of external changes to the Company's business environment, including competitive
pressures, market erosion and technological and regulatory changes. The Company
believes its estimated intangible assets life is reasonable given the continuing
movement of patient care to noninstitutional settings, expanding demand due to
demographic trends, the emphasis of the Company on establishing significant
coverage in its markets, and other factors.    

INCOME TAXES

   Deferred income taxes are provided on elements of income that are recognized
for financial accounting purposes in periods different than when such items are
recognized for income tax purposes.

   The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases.

   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

INCOME PER SHARE

   On April 17, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a two-for-
one split of its Common Stock, payable on May 21, 1996. This was affected in the
form of a 100% dividend to shareholders of record on April 30, 1996.
Shareholders' equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to the
stock split for all periods presented by reclassifying from additional paid in
capital to Common Stock, the par value of the additional shares arising from the
split. In addition, for all periods presented, all references in the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto to number of

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

shares, per share amounts, weighted average shares outstanding, as well as stock
option and related price information have been restated to give retroactive
effect to the two-for-one stock split affected on May 21, 1996.

  Income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding during each period, including any Common Stock
equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options and warrants calculated
using the treasury stock method.

USE OF ESTIMATES

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," which will become effective for the year ending July 31, 1997.
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.  Also in 1995, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 123,   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation", which  requires
companies  to measure  employee stock compensation plans based on the fair value
method of accounting or to continue to apply APB No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees", and provide pro forma footnote disclosures under the fair
value method in SFAS No. 123.  The Company will continue to apply the principles
of APB No. 25 and provide pro forma fair value disclosures starting in the 1997
Annual Report.

2. THIRD-PARTY RATE ADJUSTMENTS AND REVENUE

  Approximately 60% in 1996, 63% in 1995, and 48% in 1994 of gross revenue was
derived under federal and state third-party reimbursement programs.  A portion
of these revenues is based on cost reimbursement principles and is subject to
audit and retroactive adjustment by the respective third-party fiscal
intermediaries.  In the opinion of management, retroactive adjustments, if any,
would not be material to the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

3. ACQUISITIONS

  During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, the Company issued 301,816 shares
of its restricted Common Stock valued at $3,061,282, released 230,075 shares of 
its restricted Common Stock from escrow which is recorded as Redeemable Common 
Stock (see Note 4) and is valued at $1,646,933, issued 675,664 shares of
its restricted Common Stock which were placed in escrow pending the attainment
of certain operating profit thresholds (see Note 4), and paid cash of
approximately $147,882,000 to purchase the net assets of certain home health
care companies, all of the outstanding common stock of certain home
health companies and substantially all of the assets of a home health
partnership.

  The combined fair market values of those assets acquired and (liabilities
assumed) in 1996 are reflected in the following classifications on the balance
sheet:


 
                                                         
Cash                                                        $  1,320,000

Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities     (13,887,000)
                                                            ------------
Net assets acquired                                         $ 43,669,000
                                                            ============


  Operating results of the acquired companies have been included in the
statements of income since the respective dates of acquisition.  The
acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.  The
excess of the purchase price over the fair market values of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed will be amortized over 5 to 25 years on a straight-line
basis.

  The operations of entities acquired subsequent to July 31, 1996 (see Note 15)
are not included in the Company's historical statements of income as presented
herein. The net assets of those entities acquired subsequent to July 31, 1996
are also not included in the Company's balance sheet as of July 31, 1996.
Operations of such entities are included in the accompanying pro forma results.

  The pro forma condensed combined statements of income were prepared as if the
purchases and sales had occurred on the first day of the respective periods
presented to illustrate the estimated combined effects of the various Agreements
for Purchase and Sales (Agreements) upon the Company. The pro forma condensed
combined statements of income presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that might have occurred had such transactions been
completed as of the date specified or of the results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries for any future period.

  No changes in operating revenue and expenses have been made to reflect the

$150,000,000 syndicated bank line of credit.  On June 4, 1996, the Company
expanded the same line of credit to $200,000,000.

       On June 1, 1996, the Company issued $110,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") due 2003
with interest payable on June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 1996.
The Debentures and related 4,190,476 shares of the Common Stock of the Company,
which are initially issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, were registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 1996.

are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, but not before
June 4, 1999. The Debentures do not provide for a sinking fund. The Company's
ability to repurchase the Debentures is dependent upon the Company's having
sufficient funds and may be limited by the terms of the Company's senior
indebtedness or the subordination provisions of the related indenture.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Healthcare Regulatory Environment

       A significant portion of the Company's revenues are reimbursed under the
Federal Medicare program.  Various budgets currently under consideration by
Congress and the Federal Administration propose reductions in Medicare spending
including, among other matters, reimbursement for home oxygen.  It is currently
uncertain when a budget agreement will be reached and the ultimate impact such
budget will have on home oxygen reimbursement.

Litigation

       The Company is engaged in the defense of certain claims and lawsuits
arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business, the outcome of
which are not determinable at this time.  The Company  has insurance policies
covering such potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.  In the
opinion of management, any liability that might be incurred by the Company upon
resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition.

9. RETIREMENT BENEFITS

       The Company instituted a 401(k) Savings Plan ("Savings Plan") on May 1,
1996.  The Savings Plan covers all full-time employees who have met certain
eligibility requirements and is funded by voluntary employee contributions and
by Company contributions equal to a certain percentage of employee
contributions.  Employees' interests in Company contributions vest over five
years.  The cost of the Savings Plan was $26,314 for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1996.

      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Provisions have been

depreciation methods for equipment and different lives for intangible assets for
financial and tax reporting purposes.  Significant components of the Company's
deferred tax liabilities and assets as of July 31 are as follows:

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
RoTech Medical Corporation
Orlando, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RoTech Medical
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1996. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule, for the three-year period ended
July 31, 1996, presented on page 23. These consolidated financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and the financial statement schedule 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of RoTech Medical Corporation and
subsidiaries at July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule for the three-year period ended July 31, 1996, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
 OPERATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND 1995

          Operating revenue increased 96% to $263.0 million for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1996 ("fiscal 1996") from $134.1 million for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995").  The increase in operating revenue is
attributable to acquisitions and expanded product and service lines in existing
areas of operation.  During fiscal 1996, the Company added 165 home care
locations and operated 366 home care locations in 28 states as of July 31, 1996.
The Company continues to employ a single sales force to maintain and develop
both the home respiratory therapy, other medical equipment, home infusion
therapy and other pharmacy related lines of business.

    
          Operating revenue from home respiratory therapy and equipment
increased 95% to $110.1 million for fiscal 1996 from $56.5 million for fiscal
1995.  Operating revenue from home medical equipment and supplies increased 185%
to $92.1 million for fiscal 1996 from $32.3 million for fiscal 1995.  The
increases in these two product lines were due mainly to increases in patient
bases throughout the Company's locations and increased marketing efforts in
certain locations acquired during fiscal year 1995 and 1996.  The majority of
the Company's acquisitions are of businesses that operate primarily in these two
product lines.     

          Operating revenue from home infusion therapy and pharmacy related
services increased 24% to $41.5 million for fiscal 1996 from $33.6 million for
fiscal 1995.  Growth in this line of business should continue as the Company
expands its service areas.

          Operating revenue from physician practices increased 65% to $19.4
million for fiscal 1996, from $11.7 million for fiscal 1995.  The Company
currently owns 24 physician practices and employs 29 primary care physicians.
These practices are clustered in two rural marketplaces.  Growth in this line of
business should continue yet decline as a percentage of operating revenue as the
Company continues to acquire home health care operations.

          Cost of revenue as a percentage of operating revenue decreased to
27.0% for fiscal 1996 from 27.1% for fiscal 1995 due to changes in the product
mix in the last year resulting from mid-year fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996
acquisitions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
operating revenue reduced to 48.4% for fiscal 1996 from 49.6% for fiscal 1995,
as the revenue base has grown faster than the Company's costs. Changes in the
Company's mix of business also affect these categories.  For example, physician
practices have no cost of revenue and all expenses are of a selling, general and
administrative nature.

          Depreciation and amortization expense increased 177% to $26.5 million
for fiscal 1996 from $9.6 million for fiscal 1995.  Depreciation and
amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 10.1% for fiscal
1996 and 7.1% for fiscal 1995.  The dollar increase was attributable to the
Company's purchase of fixed and intangible assets resulting from various
acquisitions and the fixed assets needed for the increased rentals of equipment.
All acquisitions in fiscal 1996 were accounted for by the purchase method for
acquisitions.

          Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $5.2 million
for fiscal 1996 from $835,000 for fiscal 1995.  This increase resulted from the
Company borrowing monies to fund certain acquisitions along with the issuance of
the Convertible Subordinated Debentures on June 1, 1996.

          Income tax expense was provided at a 37.5% effective rate, compared to
37.2% the prior fiscal 1995.

          Net income for fiscal 1996 was $20.6 million, a 56.4% increase over
the $13.1 million for fiscal year 1995.  Net income per share on a fully diluted
basis increased 30.2% to $0.82 for fiscal 1996 compared to $0.63 for fiscal
1995.  The weighted average number of shares on a fully diluted basis increased
20.1% to 25.2 million at July 31, 1996 from 21.0 million at July 31, 1995,
primarily as a result of the May 1995 public stock offering and shares issued in
conjunction with certain acquisitions.


FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1995 AND 1994

          Operating revenue increased 87.6% to $134.1 million for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995") from $71.5 million for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1994 ("fiscal  1994").  The increase in operating revenue is
attributable to acquisitions and expanded product and service lines in existing
areas of operation.  The Company continues to employ a single sales force to
maintain and develop both the home respiratory and other medical equipment and
home infusion therapy and other pharmacy related lines of business.

          Operating revenue from home respiratory therapy and equipment and home
medical equipment and supplies increased 113.7% to $88.8 million for fiscal 1995
from $41.6 million for fiscal 1994.  The increase was due mainly to increases in
patient bases throughout the Company's locations and increased marketing efforts
in certain locations acquired during fiscal year 1994 and 1995.  The majority of
the Company's acquisitions are of businesses that operate primarily in these two
product lines.

          Operating revenue from home infusion therapy and pharmacy related
services increased 31.6% to $33.6 million for fiscal 1995 from $25.5 million for
fiscal 1994.  Growth in this line of business should continue as the Company
expands both its service areas and available products and services.

          Operating revenue from physician practices represented 8.7% of total
operating revenue for fiscal 1995, compared to 6.2% for fiscal 1994. At July 31,
1995 the Company owned 20 physician practices and employed 26 primary care
physicians. These practices are clustered in two rural marketplaces. Growth in
this line of business should continue yet decline as a percentage of operating
revenue as the Company continues to acquire mostly home health care operations.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Cost of revenue as a percentage of operating revenue increased to
27.1% for fiscal 1995 from 24.4% for fiscal 1994 due to changes in the product
mix in the last year resulting from mid-year fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995
acquisitions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
operating revenue remained relatively stable at 49.6%, down from 50.2% for
fiscal 1994 as the revenue base has grown faster than the Company's costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses included a net gain from the sale
of an other asset.  The gain resulted from years of operational expenses flowing
through the income statements rather than being capitalized.  The net gain was
offset by increased bad debt expense, resulting in no net impact on selling,
general and administrative expenses and no impact on earnings from the gain.
Management took the opportunity provided by the gain to improve its overall
long-term financial position.  Changes in the Company's mix of business also
affect these categories.  For example, physician practices have no cost of
revenue and all expenses are of selling, general and administrative natures.

          Depreciation and amortization expense increased 79.2% to $9.6 million
for fiscal 1995 from $5.3 million for fiscal 1994.  Depreciation and
amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 7.1% for fiscal
1995 and 7.5% for fiscal 1994.  The dollar increase was attributable to the
Company's purchase of fixed and intangible assets resulting from various
acquisitions and the fixed assets needed for the increased rentals of equipment.
All acquisitions in fiscal 1995 were accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting for acquisitions.

          Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $835,000 for
fiscal 1995 from $67,000 for fiscal 1994.  This increase resulted from the
Company borrowing monies to fund certain acquisitions.  The proceeds from the
Company's May 1995 stock offering were utilized to repay all bank indebtedness,
yet due to the acquisition pace, the Company became a borrower again in early
July 1995.

          Income tax expense was provided at a 37.2% effective rate, compared to
36.5% the prior fiscal year.  The increase was due to the increase in non-
deductible amortization expense in fiscal 1995 and the entry into a higher tax
bracket.

          Net income for fiscal 1995 was $13.1 million, a 62.0% increase over
the $8.1 million for fiscal 1994.  Net income per share on a fully diluted basis
increased 26% to $0.63 for fiscal 1995 compared to $0.50 for fiscal 1994.  The
weighted average number of shares on fully diluted basis increased 28.8% to 21.0
million on July 31, 1995 from 16.3 million at July 1994, primarily as a result
of the March 1994 and May 1995 public stock offerings and shares issued in
conjunction with certain acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          At July 31, 1996, total current assets were $112.5 million and total
current liabilities were $76.5 million, resulting in working capital of $36.0
million.  The Company's current ratio was 1.47 to 1 at July 31, 1996 compared to
3.20 to 1 at July 31, 1995.  Net trade accounts receivable increased $41.2
million in fiscal 1996, or 98%.  This increase is attributable to acquisitions
of the net assets of many home health care companies during the year and the 96%

increase in operating revenue over the prior year. As a result, the Company's
days revenue outstanding on net accounts receivable decreased to 92 days at July
31, 1996 from 98 days at July 31, 1995. Acquired receivables remaining
outstanding account for approximately 16 days revenue outstanding at July 31,
1996 compared to 10 days revenue outstanding at July 31, 1995.

          Current liabilities increased $57.6 million in fiscal 1996, or 305%,
as an additional $42 million was borrowed on the syndicated bank line of credit.
The balance of the change was due to the timing of payments to vendors.

          During fiscal 1996, the Company generated cash of $37.5 million from
operating activities primarily as a result of net income of $20.6 million along
with non-cash expenses of $31.4 million.  Advances on the syndicated bank line
of credit were utilized to fund acquisitions and internal expansion.  During
fiscal 1996, the Company spent $146.6 million to acquire various home health
care companies and $29.6 million to purchase property and equipment, primarily
rental equipment, for operational needs.  The Company has been financing its
revenue growth and increased working capital requirements with positive net cash
provided by operating activities and short-term borrowings.

          On June 1, 1996, the Company issued $110,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 5 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures").  Upon
receipt, the proceeds were used to reduce the syndicated bank line of credit.
The Debentures are due 2003 with interest payable on June 1 and December 1,
commencing December 1, 1996. The debentures do not provide for a sinking fund.
The Debentures are convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any time 
after the 60th day following the date of original issuance of the Debentures and
at or before maturity at a conversion price of $26.25 per share, subject to 
adjustment in certain events, plus accrued interest.  The Debentures are 
redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, but not before 
June 4, 1999.  The Company's ability to repurchase the Debentures is dependent 
upon the Company's having sufficient funds and may be limited by the terms of 
the Company's senior indebtedness or the subordination provisions of the related
indenture.

          As of July 31, 1996, the Company had a syndicated bank line of credit
of $200 million, with approximately $127.6 million available for future
borrowing, as of October 21, 1996.  The syndicated bank line of credit carries a
negative pledge on all Company assets, is payable on demand and provides for
interest rates, at the Company's election, of LIBOR plus .70% or a Bankers'
Acceptance rate plus 0.75%.  The syndicated bank line of credit requires
compliance by the Company with certain financial and negative covenants,
including a restriction on dividends. As of July 31, 1996 the Company was in
compliance with all covenants contained in the credit facility. Management
believes that its credit capacity and cash flow from operations, will be
sufficient for the Company's projected growth in the near future.
