(a)  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for
     all periods presented to include the results of operations of CompScript,
     Inc. ("CompScript") and IBAH, Inc. ("IBAH"), acquired in June 1998
     pooling-of-interests transactions. CompScript and IBAH completed
     pooling-of-interests transactions which were included in their financial
     statements used to prepare the Omnicare restated financial statements. The
     impact of certain other pooling-of-interests transactions completed by
     Omnicare on the Company's historical consolidated financial statements were
     not material; consequently, prior period and current year financial
     statements have not been restated for these transactions.

(b)  The Company has had an active acquisition program in effect since 1989. See
     Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information

     CompScript $688; IBAH $176), or $.05 per basic and diluted share. For the
     year ended December 31, 1997, income from continuing operations, excluding
     these expenses as well as the aftertax nonrecurring expenses of $7,665

     international unit and Omnicare's estimated costs and legal and other

     investigation of Home Pharmacy Services, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary 
     of Omnicare), respectively.

     as the aftertax nonrecurring expenses of $510 discussed at (i) below, was
     $45,641 ($.65 per basic and $.59 per diluted share).

(i)  Includes a charge of $510 relating to the purchase of RBI (a subsidiary 
     of IBAH), representing the write-off of the portion of the RBI purchase 
     price allocated to in-process software research and development. Such 
     expenses, on an aftertax basis, were $510, or $.01 per basic and diluted 
     share.

(j)  Includes acquisition expenses before taxes of $1,292 relating to Omnicare's
     pooling-of-interests transaction with Specialized Pharmacy Services, Inc.

     For the year ended December 31, 1994, income from continuing operations
     excluding these expenses as well as the aftertax nonrecurring expenses of
