3. Restructuring and Other Related Charges

         In 2000, the Company completed its previously disclosed productivity
and consolidation program. As part of the program, the roster of pharmacies and
other operating locations was reconfigured through the consolidation,
relocation, closure and opening of sites, resulting in a net reduction of 59
locations. The program also resulted in the reduction of the Company's work
force by 16%, or approximately 1,800 full and part-time employees, and
annualized pretax savings in excess of $46 million upon completion.

         Details of the year-to-date June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
activity relating to the program follow (in thousands):

         In connection with the program, Omnicare expensed a total of $6.2
million and $10.4 million pretax ($3.9 million and $6.6 million after taxes, or
4 cents and 7 cents per diluted share, respectively) in the three and six months
ended June 2000, respectively. Additionally, $62.6 million pretax ($39.8 million
after taxes) was incurred for restructuring and other related charges over the
duration of the entire program (including 1999 activity). The restructuring
charges included severance pay, the buy-out of employment agreements, the
buy-out of lease obligations, the write-off of other assets (representing
approximately $11.0 million of pretax non-cash items over the life of the
program) and facility exit costs. The other related charges were primarily
comprised of consulting fees and duplicate costs associated with the program, as
well as the write-off of certain non-core healthcare investments. As of June 30,
2001, the Company paid approximately $22.5 million of severance and other
employee-related costs relating to the employee reductions. The remaining
liabilities at June 30, 2001 represent amounts not yet paid relating to actions
taken in connection with the program (primarily severance payments and lease
payments), and will be adjusted as these matters are settled.

4. Long-Term Debt

         On March 20, 2001, the Company completed the offering of $375.0 million
of 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the "Senior Notes"), issued at par
through a private placement. Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Notes,
the Company entered into a new three-year syndicated $495.0 million revolving
credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), including a $25.0 million
letter of credit subfacility, with various lenders. Net proceeds from the Senior
Notes of approximately $365.0 million and borrowings under the new credit
facility of $70.0 million were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the
Company's existing credit facilities, which totaled $435.0 million at December
31, 2000, and such existing facilities were terminated. Subsequent to the
closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company received commitments from
additional banks that allowed it to increase the size of the Revolving Credit
Facility to $500.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the
Company's option at a rate equal to either: (i) LIBOR plus a margin that varies
depending on certain ratings on the Company's senior long-term debt; or ii) the
higher of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, or (b) the sum of the
federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Additionally, the Company is charged a
commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which
also varies depending on such ratings. At June 30, 2001, the interest rate was
LIBOR plus 1.375% and the



                                       8









commitment fee was 0.375%. There is no utilization fee associated with the
Revolving Credit Facility.

5. Other Expense

         Included in the year-to-date June 2001 results are other expense items
totaling $1.8 million pretax ($1.1 million aftertax, or 1 cent per diluted
share) and $3.0 million pretax ($1.9 million aftertax, or 2 cents per diluted
share). The $1.8 million one-time charge recorded in the first quarter of 2001
represents a repayment to the Medicare Part B program of overpayments made to
one of the Company's pharmacy units during the period from January 1997 through
April 1998. As part of its corporate compliance program, the Company learned of
the overpayments, which related to Medicare Part B claims that contained
documentation errors, and notified the Health Care Financing Administration for
review and determination of the amount of overpayment. The $3.0 million one-time
charge recorded in the second quarter of 2001 represents a settlement during
June 2001 of certain contractual issues with a customer, which issues and amount
relate to prior year periods.

6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" ("SFAS 142").

         SFAS 141, which supercedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition
Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises", requires that all business combinations
entered into after the effective date of July 1, 2001 be accounted for by the
purchase method, defines criteria for recognition of intangible assets apart
from goodwill, and further defines disclosure requirements for business
combinations. Omnicare does not expect this standard to have a significant
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.

         SFAS 142, which replaces APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets",
defines new accounting treatment for goodwill and other intangible assets. This
standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
that have indefinite lives, establishes a requirement that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested annually for impairment,
provides specific guidance on the process for this testing at the reporting unit
level and requires disclosures of information about goodwill and other
intangible assets in the years subsequent to their acquisition that was not
previously required. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, except that goodwill and intangible assets acquired after
June 30, 2001 will be immediately subject to the new provisions. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Omnicare's consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. It is anticipated that
this new standard will serve to significantly increase the Company's net income.
Additionally, an impairment analysis will be conducted upon implementation of
SFAS 142 and required adjustments, if any, to the carrying value of goodwill
will be recognized during 2002 as a change in accounting principle.

7. Guarantor Subsidiaries

         The Company's Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on
an unsecured, joint and several basis by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of
the Company (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The following condensed
consolidating financial data illustrates the composition of Omnicare, Inc.
("Parent"), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 for the balance sheet, the statement of
income for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
(in thousands). Separate complete financial statements of the respective
Guarantor Subsidiaries would not provide additional information which would be
useful in assessing the financial condition of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
thus are not presented. No eliminations column is presented for the condensed
consolidating statement of cash flows since there were no significant
eliminating amounts during the periods presented.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
        Financial Condition

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information
appearing elsewhere in this Filing. In addition, consideration should be given
to the disclosures at the "Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Regarding Forward-Looking Information" caption
below.

Results of Operations
Quarter Ended June 30, 2001 vs. 2000

Consolidated

         Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001
were $0.23, excluding the impact of a one-time item classified as other expense
(further discussed in the following paragraph), as compared with $0.16 earned in
the prior year quarter, excluding restructuring and other related charges
associated with a productivity and consolidation initiative completed in 2000.
Net income for the 2001 second quarter, on that basis, was $21.3 million versus
the $14.6 million earned in the comparable 2000 quarter. Earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), on the same basis,
totaled $66.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared with
EBITDA of $55.5 million in the second quarter of 2000. Sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 rose to $530.1 million from the $480.5 million
recorded in the comparable prior year period.

         Included in the 2001 quarterly results was a one-time charge of $3.0
million pretax ($1.9 million aftertax, or 2 cents per diluted share)
representing a settlement during the second quarter of certain contractual
issues with a customer, which issues and amount relate to prior year periods.
Included in the 2000 quarter was a charge of $6.2 million pretax ($3.9 million
aftertax, or 4 cents per diluted share) related to the Company's previously
reported productivity and consolidation program. Including these items in both
quarters, earnings per diluted share were 21 cents in 2001 versus 12 cents in
2000; EBITDA was $63.3 million versus $49.3 million, respectively; and net
income was $19.4 million versus $10.7 million, respectively.

Pharmacy Services Segment

         Omnicare's Pharmacy Services segment recorded sales of $498.2 million
for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to $452.9 million recorded in the
same prior year period, representing an increase of $45.3 million. Operating
profit in this segment reached $52.3 million (excluding the previously mentioned
one-time charge), representing an increase of $9.3 million above the prior year
quarter amount of $43.0 million (excluding restructuring and other related
charges). Owing to the efforts of the Company's National Sales & Marketing Group
and pharmacy staff in developing new contracts, solid new account growth, net of
the elimination of certain high credit risk or uneconomic accounts, the number
of residents served at June 30, 2001 increased to approximately 650,100, from
629,000 one year earlier. Additionally, the increasing market penetration of
newer drugs, which often carry higher prices but are significantly more
effective in reducing overall healthcare costs than those they replace, served
to increase pharmacy sales. The increase in sales in relation to a lower
operating cost structure brought


                                       15








about by the completion of the productivity and consolidation program in 2000,
produced increased operating margins in the Pharmacy Services segment. These
factors, along with a gradually improving operating environment in the skilled
nursing facility market, due in part to higher reimbursements under the Balanced
Budget Refinement Act of 1999 and the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of
2000, favorably impacted the performance of the Pharmacy Services segment during
the quarter.

CRO Services Segment

         Omnicare's Clinical Research ("CRO Services") segment recorded revenues
of $31.9 million during the second quarter of 2001 as compared to $27.6 million
recorded in the same prior year period, representing an increase of $4.3
million. Furthermore, operating profit in this segment for the second quarter of
2001 was $2.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million in comparison to the same
prior year quarter operating profit of $1.0 million (excluding restructuring
and other related charges). The improvements in revenue, owing to strong
business gains in prior quarters and the returning health of the industry,
coupled with the efforts made over the past year to integrate and streamline the
organization, produced these substantial increases in profitability. Given an
improving operating environment in the CRO Services segment due, in part, to
reduced merger activity in the pharmaceutical industry, the backlog of new
projects increased approximately 23% from June 30, 2000, to $211 million at June
30, 2001.

Consolidated

         The Company's consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased to 26.8% in the second quarter of 2001 from 26.4% in 2000,
representing a year-to-year increase in gross profit of $15.3 million to $142.1
million. Positively impacting overall gross profit was the Company's purchasing
leverage associated with the procurement of pharmaceuticals and benefits
realized from the Company's formulary compliance program, as well as the
leveraging of fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies and
the reduced cost structure brought about by the productivity and consolidation
program completed in 2000. These favorable factors were offset in part by the
previously mentioned shift in mix towards newer, branded drugs which typically
produce higher gross profit, but lower gross margins. Also favorably impacting
consolidated gross profit was the previously mentioned improvements in the CRO
Services segment.

         Omnicare's selling, general and administrative ("operating") expenses
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 of $94.1 million were higher than the
comparable prior year amount of $90.4 million, by $3.7 million, due to the
overall growth of the business. However, operating expenses as a percentage of
sales totaled 17.8% in the 2001 second quarter, representing a decline from the
18.8% experienced in the comparable prior year period. This decline is primarily
due to improved leveraging of fixed and variable overhead costs over a higher
sales base and the favorable impact of the productivity and consolidation
program which was successfully completed in late 2000.

         In connection with the productivity and consolidation program discussed
at length at the "Year-to-Date June 2001 vs. 2000" caption below, the Company
recorded pretax restructuring and other related charges of $6.2 million ($3.9
million aftertax, or 4 cents per diluted share) in the three months ended June
30, 2000, primarily comprised of employee severance, employment


                                       16








agreement buy-out costs, lease termination costs, other assets and facility exit
costs, and other related charges.

         Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $0.7
million, an improvement of $0.4 million over the same period of 2000. Larger
average cash balances coupled with an increase in assets invested for settlement
of the Company's pension obligations, in the second quarter of 2001 versus the
comparable prior year period, were the primary drivers of the year-to-year
increase in investment income.

         Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $14.4
million, an increase of $0.8 million versus the comparable prior year period.
This increase was largely due to the full-quarter impact of an increase in debt
issuance cost amortization, classified as interest expense, relating to the
first quarter 2001 debt transactions discussed at the "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" section below. Also unfavorably impacting second quarter 2001
interest expense, on a year-to-year basis, was a marginal increase in the
weighted-average interest rates paid on outstanding debt brought about by the
aforementioned debt transactions, which converted a majority of the related
outstanding debt from current to long-term in nature.

         The increase in the effective tax rate to 38.0% in the second quarter
of 2001 from 37.0% in the comparable prior year quarter is primarily
attributable to the full utilization in 2000 of certain benefits derived from
the Company's state tax planning program. While other state tax planning
benefits will continue, they will be realized at a different magnitude than was
the case in 2000. The effective tax rates in the 2001 and 2000 second quarters
are higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state and local
income taxes.


Year-to-Date June 2001 vs. 2000

Consolidated

         Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were
$0.43, excluding the impact of one-time items classified as other expense
discussed below, as compared with $0.34 earned in the prior year period,
excluding restructuring and other related charges associated with the
productivity and consolidation initiative completed in 2000. Net income for the
2001 period, on that basis, was $40.4 million versus the $31.6 million earned in
the comparable 2000 period. EBITDA, on the same basis, totaled $128.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared with EBITDA of $115.1 million
in the same period of 2000. Sales for the year-to-date June 30, 2001 period rose
to $1,053.7 million from the $973.5 million recorded during the comparable prior
year period.

         Included in the year-to-date June 2001 results were other expense items
totaling $4.8 million pretax ($3.0 million aftertax, or 3 cents per share). In
the first quarter of 2001, Omnicare recorded a $1.8 million pretax ($1.1 million
aftertax, or 1 cent per diluted share) one-time charge representing a repayment
to the Medicare Part B program of overpayments made to one of the Company's
pharmacy units during the period from January 1997 through April 1998. As part
of its corporate compliance program, the Company learned of the overpayments,
which related to Medicare Part B claims that contained documentation errors, and
notified the Health Care Financing Administration for review and determination
of the amount of overpayment. Further,


                                       17








the Company recorded a $3.0 million pretax ($1.9 million aftertax, or 2 cents
per diluted share) one-time charge in the second quarter of 2001, representing a
settlement in June 2001 of certain contractual issues with a customer, which
issues and amount relate to prior year periods. Included in the 2000 six month
period was an aggregate charge of $10.4 million pretax ($6.6 million aftertax,
or 7 cents per diluted share) relating to the productivity and consolidation
program. Including these special items in both six month periods, earnings per
diluted share were 40 cents in 2001 versus 27 cents in 2000; EBITDA was $123.9
million versus $104.6 million, respectively; and net income was $37.4 million
versus $25.1 million, respectively.

Pharmacy Services Segment

         Omnicare's Pharmacy Services segment recorded sales of $993.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001, ahead of the comparable prior year
period amount of $913.9 million, by $79.7 million. Operating profit in this
segment reached $101.5 million (excluding the previously mentioned one-time
charges), also ahead of the same prior year period amount of $86.3 million
(excluding restructuring and other related charges), by $15.2 million. The
favorable year-to-year results largely relate to solid new account growth
(including additional business under the Company's contract with Marriott Senior
Living Communities), net of the elimination of certain high credit risk or
uneconomic accounts, coupled with the efforts of the Company's National Sales &
Marketing Group and pharmacy staff in developing new contracts. Additionally,
higher drug utilization, the expansion of clinical programs and drug price
inflation contributed to increased sales. Moreover, the increasing market
penetration of newer drugs, which often carry higher prices but are
significantly more effective in reducing overall healthcare costs than those
they replace, served to increase pharmacy sales. The increase in sales, in
addition to a lower operating cost structure brought about by the completion of
the productivity and consolidation program in 2000, served to produce increased
operating margins. Collectively, these factors along with a gradually improving
operating environment in the skilled nursing facility market brought about by
the implementation of the Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 and the
Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, favorably impacted the
performance of the Pharmacy Services segment during the six-month period.

CRO Services Segment

         Omnicare's CRO Services segment recorded revenues of $60.1 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2001, which were relatively consistent with
the $59.7 million recorded in the same prior year period. Operating profit in
this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $4.8 million, an
increase of $1.0 million in comparison to the same prior year period operating
profit of $3.8 million (excluding restructuring and other related charges).
The year-to-date June 2001 improvement in operating profit is the result of
several favorable trends experienced in the second quarter of 2001. These
trends included improvements in revenue, owing to strong business gains in
prior quarters and the returning health of the industry, coupled with the
efforts made over the past year to integrate and streamline the organization,
producing substantial increases in profitability in the second quarter of 2001.


                                       18








Consolidated

         The Company's consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales of
26.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 improved as compared with the rate
of 26.6% experienced during the year-to-date June 30, 2000 period, and
represented a year-to-year increase in gross profit of $22.9 million to $282.3
million. Positively impacting overall gross profit was the Company's purchasing
leverage associated with the procurement of pharmaceuticals and benefits
realized from the Company's formulary compliance program, as well as the
leveraging of fixed and variable overhead costs at the Company's pharmacies and
the reduced cost structure brought about by the productivity and consolidation
program completed in 2000. These favorable factors were offset in part by the
previously mentioned shift in mix towards newer, branded drugs which typically
produce higher gross profit, but lower gross profit margins.

         Omnicare's operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of
$190.0 million were higher than the comparable prior year amount of $183.2
million, by $6.8 million, due to the overall growth of the business. Operating
expenses as a percentage of sales, however, totaled 18.0% in the 2001 six month
period, representing a decline from the 18.8% experienced in the comparable
prior year period. This decline is primarily due to the favorable impact of the
productivity and consolidation program, which was successfully completed in late
2000, and the leveraging of fixed and variable overhead costs over a larger
sales base in 2001 than was the case in the comparable 2000 period.

         In 2000, the Company completed its previously disclosed productivity
and consolidation program. As part of the program, the roster of pharmacies and
other operating locations was reconfigured through the consolidation,
relocation, closure and opening of sites, resulting in a net reduction of 59
locations. The program also resulted in the reduction of the Company's work
force by 16%, or approximately 1,800 full and part-time employees, and
annualized pretax savings in excess of $46 million upon completion.

         Details of the year-to-date June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
activity relating to the program follow (in thousands):

         In connection with the program, Omnicare expensed a total of $10.4
million pretax ($6.6 million after taxes, or 7 cents per diluted share) in the
six months ended June 30, 2000. Additionally, $62.6 million pretax ($39.8
million after taxes) was incurred for restructuring and other related charges
over the duration of the entire program (including 1999 activity). The
restructuring charges included severance pay, the buy-out of employment
agreements, the buy-out of lease obligations, the write-off of other assets
(representing approximately $11.0 million of pretax non-cash items over the
life of the program) and facility exit costs. The other related charges were
primarily comprised of consulting fees and duplicate costs associated with the
program, as well as the write-off of certain non-core healthcare investments.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company paid approximately $22.5 million of severance
and other employee-related costs relating to the employee reductions. The
remaining liabilities at June 30, 2001 represent amounts not yet paid relating
to actions taken in connection with the program (primarily severance payments
and lease payments), and will be adjusted as these matters are settled.

         Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $1.2
million, an improvement of $0.4 million over the same period of 2000. Larger
average cash balances coupled with an increase in assets invested for settlement
of the Company's pension obligations, during 2001 as compared to the same 2000
period, were the primary drivers of the year-to-year increase in investment
income.

         Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $28.3
million, an increase of $1.5 million versus the comparable prior year period.
This increase was largely due to the impact of an increase in debt issuance cost
amortization, classified as interest expense, relating to the first quarter 2001
debt transactions discussed at the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section
below. Also unfavorably impacting 2001 interest expense, on a year-to-year
basis, was a marginal increase in the weighted-average interest rates paid on
outstanding debt brought about by the aforementioned debt transactions, which
converted a majority of the related outstanding debt from current to long-term
in nature.

         The increase in the effective tax rate to 38.0% in the year-to-date
June 2001 period from 37.0% in the comparable prior year period is primarily
attributable to the full utilization in 2000 of certain benefits derived from
the Company's state tax planning program. While other state tax planning
benefits will continue, they will be realized at a different magnitude than was
the case


                                       20








in 2000. The effective tax rates in the 2001 and 2000 six months periods are
higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state and local income
taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) at June 30, 2001
were $124.0 million compared to $113.9 million at December 31, 2000. The Company
generated positive net cash flows from operating activities of $54.1 million
(including the impact of purchasing pharmaceuticals in advance of price
increases, or "prebuys," of $34.2 million) during the six months ended June 30,
2001. These funds were used primarily for debt repayment, debt issuance costs,
capital expenditures, acquisition-related payments (including amounts payable
pursuant to acquisition agreements relating to pre-2001 acquisitions) and
dividends. Higher net income and improved management of accounts receivable and
inventories contributed to the favorable cash flows from operations through June
30, 2001 of approximately $88 million (excluding prebuys).

         On March 20, 2001, the Company completed the offering of $375.0 million
of 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the "Senior Notes"), issued at par
through a private placement. Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Notes,
the Company entered into a new three-year syndicated $495.0 million revolving
credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), including a $25.0 million
letter of credit subfacility, with various lenders. Net proceeds from the Senior
Notes of approximately $365.0 million and borrowings under the new credit
facility of $70.0 million were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the
Company's existing credit facilities, which totaled $435.0 million at December
31, 2000, and such existing facilities were terminated. Subsequent to the
closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company received commitments from
additional banks that allowed it to increase the size of the Revolving Credit
Facility to $500.0 million. As of June 30, 2001, the Revolving Credit Facility
bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.375%, and incurs commitment fees on the
unused portion at a rate of 0.375%.

         The Company's capital requirements are primarily comprised of capital
expenditures, including those related to investments in the Company's
information technology systems, and ongoing payments originating from its
acquisition program. There are no material commitments and contingencies
outstanding at June 30, 2001, other than certain acquisition-related payments
potentially due in the future, including deferred payments, indemnification
payments and payments originating from earnout provisions.

         The Company's current ratio of 3.8 to 1.0 at June 30, 2001 increased as
compared to the 3.2 to 1.0 in existence at December 31, 2000. This improvement
is due primarily to the combined effect of higher cash balances and inventory
levels (due to prebuys), as well as a reduction in aggregate current
liabilities, largely made possible as a result of the aforementioned favorable
operating cash flows generated during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

         On May 21, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of 2.25 cents per share for an indicated annual rate of 9 cents
per share in 2001. Dividends of $4.2 million paid during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 were consistent with those paid in the comparable prior year
period.


                                       21








         The Company believes its sources of liquidity and capital are adequate
for its ongoing operating needs. Omnicare may in the future incur additional
indebtedness or issue additional equity. The Company believes that, if needed,
external sources of financing are readily available.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" ("SFAS 142").

         SFAS 141, which supercedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition
Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises", requires that all business combinations
entered into after the effective date of July 1, 2001 be accounted for by the
purchase method, defines criteria for recognition of intangible assets apart
from goodwill, and further defines disclosure requirements for business
combinations. Omnicare does not expect this standard to have a significant
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.

         SFAS 142, which replaces APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets",
defines new accounting treatment for goodwill and other intangible assets. This
standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
that have indefinite lives, establishes a requirement that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested annually for impairment,
provides specific guidance on the process for this testing at the reporting unit
level and requires disclosures of information about goodwill and other
intangible assets in the years subsequent to their acquisition that was not
previously required. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, except that goodwill and intangible assets acquired after
June 30, 2001 will be immediately subject to the new provisions. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Omnicare's consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. It is anticipated that
this new standard will serve to significantly increase the Company's net income.
Additionally, an impairment analysis will be conducted upon implementation of
SFAS 142 and required adjustments, if any, to the carrying value of goodwill
will be recognized during 2002 as a change in accounting principle.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading
purposes and does not hedge any of its market risks with derivative instruments.

         Omnicare's primary market risk exposure relates to interest rate risk
exposure through its borrowings. The Company's debt obligations at June 30, 2001
include $50.0 million outstanding under its three-year, $500.0 million
variable-rate Revolving Credit Facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus
1.375%, or 5.3% at June 30, 2001 (a one-hundred basis point change in the
interest rate would impact pretax interest expense by approximately $0.1 million
per quarter); $375.0 million outstanding under its 8.125% Senior Notes due 2011;
and $345.0 million outstanding under convertible subordinated debentures due in
2007 ("Convertible Debentures"), which accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.0%.
At June 30, 2001, the fair value of Omnicare's Revolving Credit Facility
approximates its carrying value, and the fair value of the Senior Notes and
Convertible Debentures is $380.6 million and $304.5 million, respectively.
