PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Chemed Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1970 as a subsidiary of
W. R. Grace & Co. and succeeded to the business of W. R. Grace & Co.'s
Specialty Products Group as of April 30, 1971 and remained a subsidiary of W.
R. Grace & Co. until March 10, 1982. As used herein, "Company" refers to
Chemed Corporation, "Chemed" refers to Chemed Corporation and its subsidiaries
and "Grace" refers to W. R. Grace & Co. and its subsidiaries.
On March 10, 1982, the Company transferred to Dearborn Chemical Company, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the business and assets of the
Company's Dearborn Group, including the stock of certain subsidiaries within
the Dearborn Group, plus $185 million in cash, and Dearborn Chemical Company
assumed the Dearborn Group's liabilities. Thereafter, on March 10, 1982 the
Company transferred all of the stock of Dearborn Chemical Company to Grace in
exchange for 16,740,802 shares of the capital stock of the Company owned by
Grace with the result that Grace no longer has any ownership interest in the
Company.
On December 31, 1986, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
of the business and assets of Vestal Laboratories, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary ("Vestal"). The Company received cash payments aggregating
approximately $67.4 million over the four-year period following the closing,
the substantial portion of which was received on December 31, 1986.
On April 2, 1991, the Company completed the sale of DuBois Chemicals, Inc.
("DuBois"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to the Diversey Corporation
("Diversey"), a subsidiary of The Molson Companies Ltd. Under the terms of the
sale, Diversey agreed to pay the Company net cash payments aggregating
$223,386,000, including deferred payments aggregating $32,432,000. As of
December 31, 1994, the Company had received cash payments totaling
$209,738,000.
On December 21, 1992, the Company acquired The Veratex Corporation and
related businesses ("Veratex Group") from Omnicare, Inc., a publicly traded
company in which Chemed currently maintains a 5.8%-ownership interest. The
purchase price was $62,120,000 in cash paid at closing, plus a post-closing
payment of $1,514,000 (paid in April 1993) based on the net assets of Veratex.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company acquired all the capital stock of
Patient Care, Inc. ("Patient Care"), for cash payments aggregating $20,582,000,
including deferred payments with a present value of $6,582,000, plus 17,500
shares of the Company's Capital Stock. Additional cash payments of up to
$2,000,000 may be made, the amount being contingent upon the earnings of
Patient Care.
During 1994, the Company conducted its business operations in four
segments: National Sanitary Supply Company ("National Sanitary Supply"),
Roto-Rooter, Inc. ("Roto-Rooter"), Veratex Group ("Veratex") and Patient Care.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The required segment and geographic data for the Company's continuing
operations (as described below) for the three years ended December 31, 1992,
1993 and 1994, are shown in the "Sales and Profit Statistics by Business
Segment" and the "Additional Segment Data" on pages 32, 33 and 36 of the 1994
Annual Report to Stockholders and are incorporated herein by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS BY SEGMENT
The information called for by this item is included within Note 1 of the
Notes to Financial Statements appearing on page 23 of the 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
PRODUCT AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT
Each segment of Chemed's business engages in a continuing program for the
development and marketing of new products. While new product and new market
development are important factors for the growth of each active segment of
Chemed's business, Chemed does not expect that any new product or marketing
effort, including those in the development stage, will require the investment
of a material amount of Chemed's assets.
RAW MATERIALS
The principal raw materials needed for each active segment of Chemed's
United States manufacturing operations are purchased from United States
sources. No segment of Chemed experienced any material raw material shortages
during 1994, although such shortages may occur in the future. Products
manufactured and sold by Chemed's active business segments generally may be
reformulated to avoid the adverse impact of a specific raw material shortage.
PATENTS, SERVICE MARKS AND LICENSES
The Roto-Rooter(R) trademark and service mark have been used and advertised
since 1935 by Roto-Rooter Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Roto-Rooter, Inc., a 59%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Roto-Rooter(R)
marks are among the most highly recognized trademarks and service marks in the
United States. Chemed considers the Roto-Rooter(R) marks to be a valuable
asset and a significant factor in the marketing of Roto-Rooter's franchises,
products and services and the products and services provided by its
franchisees.
INVENTORIES
Chemed maintains local warehousing and delivery arrangements throughout the
United States to provide prompt delivery service to its customers. Inventories
on hand for each active segment are not considered high in relation to industry
standards for the business involved. In general, terms and conditions of sale
for each segment follow usual and customary industry standards.
COMPETITION
NATIONAL SANITARY SUPPLY
Chemed considers National Sanitary Supply (with its subsidiaries Century
Papers, Inc. and NSS Development) to be a leader in the janitorial maintenance
supply distribution market in the western, southwestern and midwestern United
States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah and Washington). This subsidiary markets a broad line of cleaning
chemicals, paper goods, plastic products, waste handling products and other
janitorial supplies to a wide range of customers. The market for sanitary
maintenance and paper supplies is highly competitive and entry is relatively
easy. Competition is, however, highly fragmented in most geographic markets.
In the United States, approximately 9,000 firms compete in the sanitary
maintenance supply distribution business on a local or regional basis. The
principal competitive factors in this market are the level of service provided;
range of products offered; speed, efficiency and reliability of delivery; and
price. There are a number of local janitorial supply companies that compete
with National Sanitary Supply in its market. The principal competitive factors
in the janitorial supply market in order of importance are breadth of product
line, prompt delivery and price. While remaining price competitive, National
Sanitary Supply maintains a product line that is generally broader than its
competitors and has earned an excellent reputation for prompt delivery and
customer service.
2
5
Federal, state and local governmental agencies accounted for approximately
6 percent of National Sanitary Supply's total sales for 1994. These sales are
attributable to over 4,000 different agencies whose purchasing decisions are
made separately. While it is believed that the loss of the sales to these
agencies in the aggregate would be material, the decentralized purchasing
decisions make the loss of a significant number of such accounts at any given
time unlikely. National Sanitary Supply also had sales to one customer, Sonic
Corporation, which comprised approximately 14 percent of sales in 1994. This
customer is a fast-food restaurant chain consisting of approximately 1,250
franchises and 150 company-owned restaurants. Sales to this customer consisted
primarily of low-margin food-service products such as paper napkins, plates and
cups. Other than sales to the aforementioned entities, no one customer
accounts for more than two percent of net sales.
ROTO-ROOTER
All aspects of the sewer, drain, and pipe cleaning, and appliance and
plumbing repair businesses are highly competitive. Competition is, however,
fragmented in most markets with local and regional firms providing the primary
competition. The principal methods of competition are advertising, range of
services provided, speed and quality of customer service, service guarantees,
and pricing.
No individual customer or market group is critical to the total sales of
this segment.
VERATEX
In distributing medical and dental products, Veratex competes with numerous
mail-order businesses; medical, dental and veterinary supply houses; and
manufacturers of disposable paper, cotton and gauze products. Veratex competes
in this market on the basis of customer service, product quality and price. At
times, its pricing policy has been subject to considerable competitive
pressures, limiting the ability to implement price increases.
No individual customer or market group is critical to the total sales of
this segment.
PATIENT CARE
The home healthcare services industry and, in particular, the nursing and
personal care segment is highly competitive. Patient Care competes with
numerous local, regional and national home healthcare services companies.
Patient Care competes on the basis of quality, cost- effectiveness and its
ability to service its referral base quickly throughout its regional markets.
Patient Care has contracts with several customers, the loss of any one or
more of which could have a material adverse effect on this segment.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Chemed engages in a continuous program directed toward the development of
new products and processes, the improvement of existing products and processes,
and the development of new and different uses of existing products. The
research and development expenditures from continuing operations have not been
nor are they expected to be material.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Chemed's operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws
and regulations regarding the environmental aspects of the manufacture and
distribution of chemical products. Chemed, to the best of its knowledge, is
currently in compliance in all material respects with the environmental laws
and regulations affecting its operations. Such environmental laws, regulations
and enforcement proceedings have not required Chemed to make material increases
in or modifications to its capital expenditures and they have not had a
material adverse effect on sales or net income.

In connection with the sale of DuBois to the Diversey Corporation, the
Company contractually assumed for a period of ten years the estimated liability
for potential environmental cleanup and related costs arising from the sale of
DuBois up to a maximum of $25,500,000. The Company has accrued $15,500,000
with respect to these potential liabilities. Prior to the sale of DuBois,
DuBois had been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") at
fourteen Superfund sites by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA").
With respect to all of these sites, the Company has been unable to locate any
records indicating it disposed of waste of any kind at such sites.
Nevertheless, it settled claims at five such sites at minimal cost. In
addition, because there were a number of other financially responsible
companies designated as PRPs relative to these sites, management believes that
it is unlikely that such actions will have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. With respect to one of these
sites, the Company's involvement is based on the location of one of its
manufacturing plants. Currently, the USEPA and the state governmental agency
are attempting to resolve jurisdictional issues, and action against PRPs is not
proceeding.
Capital expenditures for the purposes of complying with environmental laws
and regulations during 1995 and 1996 with respect to continuing operations are
not expected to be material in amount; there can be no assurance, however, that
presently unforeseen legislative or enforcement actions will not require
additional expenditures.
EMPLOYEES
On December 31, 1994, Chemed had a total of 6,602 employees; 6,549 were
located in the United States and 53 were in Canada.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Chemed has plants and offices in various locations in the United States.
The major facilities operated by Chemed are listed below by industry segment.
All "owned" property is held in fee and is not subject to any major
encumbrance. Except as otherwise shown, the leases have terms ranging from one
year to thirteen years. Management does not foresee any difficulty in renewing
or replacing the remainder of its current leases. Chemed considers all of its
major operating properties to be maintained in good operating condition and to
be generally adequate for present and anticipated needs.

PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP [Price Waterhouse Logo]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Chemed Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 18
through 30 and pages 32, 33 and 36 of this report present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Chemed Corporation and its
subsidiaries ("the Company") at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. 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 of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in the Statement of Accounting Policies and Note 6 of the Notes
to Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes in 1993.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Chemed Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. Long-term investments in affiliated companies
representing ownership interests of 20% to 50% are accounted for using the
equity method.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments that have
been purchased within three months of their date of maturity.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Marketable securities and other investments at December 31, 1994, are
recorded at their estimated fair value in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which was adopted effective January
1, 1994. Prior to 1994, such investments were recorded at the lower of cost or
market.
In calculating realized gains and losses on the sales of investments,
the specific identification method is used to determine the cost of investments
sold.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. For determining the
value of inventories, the average cost method is used by the National Sanitary
Supply segment, and the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method is used by the
Roto-Rooter and Veratex segments.
DEPRECIATION AND PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation of properties and equipment is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for
maintenance, repairs, renewals and betterments that do not materially prolong
the useful lives of the assets are expensed. The cost of property retired or
sold and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
the resulting gain or loss is reflected currently in income.
GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arise from business combinations
accounted for as purchase transactions and are amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives but not in excess of 40
years.
The lives of the Company's intangible assets at December 31, 1994, are
as follows (in thousands):
1 - 10 years $ 1,426
11 - 20 years 1,980
21 - 30 years 7,454
31 - 40 years 123,749
The Company periodically makes an estimation and valuation of the
future benefits of its intangible assets based on key financial indicators. If
the projected undiscounted cash flows of a major business unit indicate that
goodwill or identifiable intangible assets have been impaired, a write-down to
fair value is made.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues received under prepaid contractual service agreements are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. All other
sales and service revenues are recognized when the products are delivered or
the services are provided.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." For 1992, income taxes were accounted for under rules specified
in SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of
shares of capital stock outstanding and exclude the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options as it is not material.
PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company's major pension and retirement plans and other similar employee
benefit plans are defined contribution plans. Contributions are based on
employees' compensation and are funded currently.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS ("ESOPS")
Contributions to the Company's ESOPs are based on established debt repayment
schedules and approximate contributions previously made to other employee
benefit plans. The Company's policy is to record its ESOP expense by applying
the transition rule under the level principal amortization concept.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Chemed Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
1. SEGMENTS OF THE BUSINESS
The continuing operations of the Company are
classified in the following business segments, the definitions of which are
based primarily on the operating structure of the Company:
--The National Sanitary Supply segment includes the consolidated operations
of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National Sanitary Supply"), an 85%-owned
subsidiary, which sells and distributes sanitary maintenance and paper supplies
including cleaners, floor finishes, hand soaps, paper towels and tissues,
cleaning equipment, packaging supplies, business paper and general maintenance
products used by commercial, institutional and industrial businesses.
--The Roto-Rooter segment includes the consolidated operations of
Roto-Rooter Inc. ("Roto-Rooter"), a 59%-owned subsidiary, which provides repair
and maintenance services to residential and commercial accounts. Such services
include sewer, drain and pipe cleaning, plumbing services and appliance repair
and maintenance and are delivered through both company-owned and franchised
locations. Roto-Rooter also manufactures and sells certain products and
equipment used to provide such services.
--The Veratex segment includes the combined operations of the businesses
comprising the Company's Veratex Group, which manufactures and distributes
medical, dental and veterinary supplies to office-based physicians, dentists
and veterinarians and to medical and dental dealers. Products include
disposable paper, cotton and gauze proprietary products and various other
dental, medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical products.
--The Patient Care segment includes the consolidated operations of the
businesses comprising the Company's Patient Care Group, which offers complete,
professional home healthcare services, currently in the New York-New Jersey-
Connecticut area. Services provided to patients at home include skilled
nursing; home health aides; speech, physical and occupational therapies;
medical social work; nutrition; and other specialized services.
Financial data by business segment are shown on pages 32, 33 and 36 of this
annual report. The segment data for 1994, 1993 and 1992 are an integral part
of these financial statements.
Substantially all of the Company's sales and service revenues from
continuing operations are generated from business within the United States. The
Company's risk to credit loss is well-spread based on the diversity of the
Company's customer base and the geographic areas which the Company serves.
Nevertheless, management establishes policies regarding the extension of credit
and monitors compliance therewith.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Effective January 1, 1994, Chemed acquired all of the capital stock of
Patient Care Inc. ("Patient Care") for cash payments aggregating $20,582,000,
including deferred payments with a present value of $6,271,000, plus 17,500
shares of Chemed Capital Stock. Additional cash payments of up to $2,000,000
may be made, the amount being contingent upon the earnings of Patient Care for
the period ending December 31, 1995.
Also during 1994, five other business combinations were completed within the
Roto-Rooter and National Sanitary segments for aggregate purchase prices of
$1,795,000 in cash.
On July 16, 1993, Service America Systems Inc. ("Service America"--formerly
Convenient Home Services Inc.) (30%-owned by the Company and 70%-owned by
Roto-Rooter) completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares
of Encore Services Systems Inc.("Encore"). Encore principally provides
residential air conditioning and appliance repair services through service
warranty contracts in Florida and Arizona.
The purchase price paid by Service America was $17,000,000 in cash at
closing, plus contingent payments based upon achievement of certain sales and
earnings objectives during the 36-month period following the closing of the
transaction (up to a maximum of $8,800,000). During 1994, the Company recorded
an adjustment to the purchase price of Encore to recognize the accrual of the
entire sales-based contingent payment due in 1996. The present value of this
$3,800,000 payment, $3,315,000, was recorded as increases to goodwill and other
noncurrent liabilities.
Also during 1993, nine other business combinations were completed within the
Roto-Rooter, National Sanitary and Veratex segments for aggregate purchase
prices of $8,762,000 in cash.
Effective December 1, 1992, the Company acquired The Veratex Corporation and
seven related businesses ("Veratex") from Omnicare Inc. ("Omnicare") for
$63,634,000 in cash. Also in 1992, Roto-Rooter acquired four independently
owned franchises, engaged primarily in the sewer-, drain- and pipe-cleaning
services business, and National Sanitary Supply acquired four janitorial supply
businesses.

business combinations were completed at the beginning of the year preceding
the year of acquisition, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except per

3. NONRECURRING EXPENSES
Nonrecurring expenses of $1,705,000 ($1,107,000 aftertax or $.12 per share)
were recorded in the third quarter of 1994 as the result of downsizing staffs
at various locations and refocusing marketing efforts at Veratex.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On November 30, 1994, the Company sold 1,570,000 shares of the capital stock
of Omnicare Inc. ("Omnicare"), a publicly traded affiliate in which Chemed
previously had maintained an equity interest, by participating in a public
offering. Also, during the first six months of 1994, the Company sold a total
of 239,900 shares of Omnicare stock. As a result, the Company recorded gains
aggregating $23,358,000 (net of income taxes of $20,248,000) during 1994. These
gains and the equity earnings in Omnicare prior to December 1, 1994, have been
classified as discontinued operations. The Company continues to hold 722,000
shares, or 6%, of the Omnicare capital stock. During 1994, this investment was
reclassified to "other investments" and is accounted for using the cost basis
of accounting.
Following the resolution of various issues pertaining to the Company's
accruals for tax and other liabilities relative to the sale of DuBois Chemicals
Inc. ("DuBois") in April 1991, the Company recorded adjustments to discontinued
operations in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
Discontinued operations, as shown on the accompanying consolidated statement
of income, comprise the following (in thousands):

Based on the Company's history of prior operating earnings and its
expectations for future growth, management has determined that the operating
income of the Company will more likely than not be sufficient to ensure the
full realization of the gross deferred tax assets.
Included in other current assets at December 31, 1994, are deferred income
tax assets of $4,577,000 (December 31, 1993--$5,316,000).
The difference between the effective tax rate for continuing operations and
the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate is explained as follows:
For the Years Ended December 31,
-----------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109 and realized a
gain from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
amount of $1,651,000 ($.17 per share) during the first quarter of 1993.
Provision has not been made for additional taxes on $26,252,000 of
undistributed consolidated earnings of Roto-Rooter Inc. (a 59%-owned domestic
subsidiary), including $19,601,000 relating to periods prior to 1993. Those
earnings have been and will continue to be reinvested. Should Chemed elect to
sell its interest in Roto-Rooter rather than to effect a tax-free liquidation,
additional taxes amounting to $9,188,000 would be incurred based on current
income tax rates.
The total amount of income taxes paid during the year ended December 31,
1994, was $28,533,000 (1993--$9,913,000; 1992--$10,970,000).
7. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1994, are cash
equivalents in the amount of $4,535,000 (1993--$14,538,000). The cash
equivalents at both dates consist of investments in various money market funds
and repurchase agreements yielding interest at a weighted average rate of 6.2%
in 1994 and 3.6% in 1993.
25
10
From time to time throughout the year, the Company invests its excess cash in
repurchase agreements directly with major commercial banks. Although the
collateral is not physically held by the Company, the term of such repurchase
agreements is less than 10 days. Investments of significant amounts are spread
among a number of banks and the amounts invested in each bank are varied
constantly.

note receivable from the buyer in the gross amount of $30,000,000, payments for
which began on April 2, 1992, in five annual installments of $6,000,000 each.

11. BANK NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE
In December 1993, the Company entered into a revolving credit/term loan
agreement ("RT Agreement") with PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association to borrow
up to $20,000,000 at any time during the three- year period ending December 31,
1996. At that date, the outstanding borrowings must be either repaid or
converted to a term loan repayable in four equal semiannual installments. The
interest rate is based on various stipulated market rates of interest.
During 1990, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement ("Credit
Agreement") with Bank of America to borrow up to $25,000,000 at any time during
the five-year period ending August 23, 1995. The interest rate is based on
various stipulated market rates of interest.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had $15,000,000 (1993--$25,000,000) of
borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $10,000,000 (1993--none)
under the RT Agreement. In addition to these agreements, the Company had
$14,250,000 of unused lines of credit with various banks at December 31, 1994.
The Company's short-term borrowings provide temporary capital for
operations. Borrowings under the RT and Credit Agreements are subject to
maintaining certain financial covenants, with which the Company has complied.
There are no restrictions on any cash balances maintained at the banks. The
weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings at December 31, 1994,
was 6.6% (December 31, 1993--3.8%).

SENIOR NOTES
On December 22, 1992, the Company borrowed $50,000,000 from several
insurance companies. Principal is repayable in five annual installments of
$10,000,000 beginning on December 15, 2000, and bears interest at the rate of
8.15% per annum. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year.
On November 10, 1988, the Company borrowed $31,000,000 from a consortium of
insurance companies. Of this amount, $21,000,000 was due and paid on November
1, 1993, and $1,000,000 was due and paid on November 1, 1994. The remaining
$9,000,000 bears interest at the rate of 10.67% with annual principal payments
of $1,000,000 due on November 1, 1995 through 2003. Interest on both series of
notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS ("ESOPs") LOAN GUARANTEES
In connection with the adoption and subsequent modification of two ESOPs
during the years 1987 through 1990, the Company guaranteed loans from The Fifth
Third Bank (Cincinnati, Ohio) to the ESOPs. In January 1992, the Company
refinanced $44,157,000 of these loans with various institutional lenders at
reduced interest rates. Payments by the ESOPs, including both principal and
interest, are to be made in quarterly installments over the next six years, the
final payments being due on June 30, 2000. The loans, secured in part by the
unallocated shares of the Company's capital stock held by the ESOP trusts,
currently bear interest at an average annual rate of 6.71% (1993--6.65%). Such
rates are subject to adjustments for changes in interest rates of specified
U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. federal statutory income tax rates and certain
federal tax law changes.
The market value of the unallocated shares of the Company's capital stock
held by the ESOPs at December 31, 1994, based on that day's closing price of
$33.375 was $30,331,000 as compared with aggregate loan guarantees of
$38,486,000.
OTHER
Other long-term debt has arisen from the assumption of loans in connection
with various acquisitions. Interest rates range from 5% to 15%, and the
obligations are due on various dates through 2004.
The following is a schedule by year of required long-term debt payments as
of December 31, 1994 (in thousands):
1995 $ 6,391
1996 7,074
1997 12,474
1998 10,575
1999 6,435
After 1999 55,575
-------
Total long-term debt $98,524
=======
The various short-term and long-term loan agreements contain certain
covenants which could restrict the amount of cash dividend payments, treasury
stock purchases and certain other transactions of the Company. Under the most
restrictive of these covenants, the Company is limited to incurring additional
debt of $91,828,000, cannot permit its net worth to fall below $149,526,000 and
is limited to incurring additional annual net rentals under operating leases
with terms of three years or more aggregating $7,195,000.
The total amount of interest paid during the year ended December 31, 1994,
was $8,562,000 (1993--$8,893,000; 1992--$5,371,000).
13. OTHER LIABILITIES
At December 31, 1994, other current liabilities included accrued insurance
liabilities of $17,495,000 (1993--$10,929,000).
Liabilities for estimated expenses related to the sale of DuBois during 1991
are included in the following accounts on the consolidated balance sheet (in
thousands):

======= =======
Included in other liabilities and deferred income at December 31,
1994, is an accrual of $14,170,000 (1993--$14,723,000) for the Company's
estimated liability for potential environmental cleanup and related costs
arising from the sale of DuBois. The Company is contingently liable for
additional DuBois-related environmental cleanup and related costs up to a
maximum of $10,000,000. On the basis of a continuing evaluation of the
Company's potential liability by the
27
12
Company's environmental attorney, management believes that it is not probable
this additional liability will be paid. Accordingly, no provision for this
contingent liability has been recorded.
14. PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS
Retirement obligations under various plans cover substantially all full-time
employees who meet age and/or service eligibility requirements. The major plans
providing retirement benefits to the Company's employees are defined
contribution plans.
The Company has established two ESOPs which purchased a total of $56,000,000
of the Company's capital stock. As a result of the sale of DuBois in 1991, the
ESOPs, which formerly covered substantially all Chemed headquarters and DuBois
employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements, covered only Chemed
headquarters employees during the last nine months of 1991. In 1992,
substantially all employees of National Sanitary Supply not covered by
collective bargaining agreements became participants in one of the ESOPs.
Similarly, in 1993, qualifying employees of Veratex became participants in the
Company's ESOPs. A portion of the excess cost of the ESOPs, which arose due to
the withdrawal of the DuBois employees from the ESOPs, was charged against the
gain on the sale of discontinued operations.
Expenses charged to continuing operations for the Company's pension and
profit-sharing plans, ESOPs (including amounts classified as interest expense)
and other similar plans comprise the following (in thousands):

15. LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
The Company, as lessee, has operating leases which cover its corporate
office headquarters; various plant, warehouse and office facilities; office
equipment; and plant and transportation equipment. The remaining terms of these
leases range from one year to 12 years and, in most cases, management expects
that these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases in the normal
course of business. All major plants and warehouses and substantially all
equipment are either owned by the Company or covered by an option to purchase
at a fixed price.
The following is a summary of future minimum rental payments and sublease
rentals to be received under operating leases that have initial or remaining

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions are used in estimating the fair value
of each class of the Company's financial instruments:
-- For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable,
the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the
liquidity and short-term nature of these instruments.
-- For marketable securities, fair value is based upon quoted market prices.
-- For other investments and other assets, fair value is based upon quoted
market prices for these or similar securities, if available. Included in other
investments is the Company's investment in privately held Vitas Healthcare
Corporation ("Vitas"), which provides noncurative care to chronically ill
patients. The market values of Vitas Common Stock Purchase Warrants are based
on the difference between Chemed's exercise price and an appraisal of the value
of the underlying common stock. The value of the Vitas 9% Cumulative Preferred
Stock is based on the present value of the mandatory redemption payments, using
an interest rate of 10.7% (1993--7.5%), a rate which management believes is
reasonable in view of current market conditions.
-- For the note receivable, the fair value is determined by discounting the
remaining future installment payments using a rate of 8.6% (1993--6.0%), a rate
considered by management to reflect current market conditions.
-- The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated by
discounting the future cash outlays associated with each debt instrument using
interest rates currently available to the Company for debt issues with similar
terms and remaining maturities.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows (in thousands):
DECEMBER 31, 1994 December 31, 1993

In accordance with current accounting rules, the Company has classified its
investments in equity securities and certain debt securities as either trading
or available-for-sale. The trading category includes those investments which
are held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and is
included in current assets. All other investments are included in the
available-for-sale category and are classified as current or long term based on
when they are expected to be realized in cash. There are no investments
classified as held-to-maturity. Currently, investments in cash equivalents are
considered to be trading securities, while investments included in either
marketable securities or other investments are considered to be
available-for-sale.
Disclosures regarding the Company's investments classified as available-for-
sale at December 31, 1994, are summarized below (in thousands):

17. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company has six Stock Incentive Plans under which 2,150,000 shares of
Chemed Capital Stock may be or have been issued to key employees pursuant to
the grant of stock awards and/or options to purchase such shares. Options to
purchase 553,472 shares were outstanding at December 31, 1994, and options or
other stock incentives covering 109,004 shares were then available for
issuance. All options granted under these plans provide for a purchase price
equal to the market value of the stock at the date of grant. The latest plan,
covering 250,000 shares, was adopted in May 1993.
Under the plan adopted in 1983, both nonstatutory and incentive stock
options have been granted. Incentive stock options granted under the 1983
plan become exercisable in full six months following the date of the grant;
nonstatutory options granted under the 1983 plan become exercisable in four
annual installments commencing six months after the date of grant.
The other plans are not qualified, restricted or incentive stock option
plans under the Internal Revenue Code. Additional options may not be granted
under the plans adopted in 1978, 1981 and 1983 covering a total of 1,150,000
shares, but a number of options granted under those plans remains outstanding.
Options granted under the 1986, 1988 and 1993 plans become exercisable six
months following the date of grant in either three or four equal annual
installments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Chemed Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Significant transactions impacting the Company's consolidated cash flows
during 1994 and financial position at December 31, 1994, include the following:
--During 1994, the Company sold a total of 1.81 million shares of the capital
stock of Omnicare Inc. ("Omnicare"), a publicly traded affiliate in which
Chemed had maintained an equity interest. Aftertax cash proceeds from these
sales totaled approximately $47.3 million;
--During 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of Patient Care Inc.
("Patient Care") and five other purchase business combinations for cash
outlays aggregating $18.4 million; and
--During 1994, the Company generated net proceeds of $9.2 million from the
sale of various investments.
As a result, the Company's current ratio increased to 1.3:1 at December 31,
1994, as compared with 1.1:1 at the end of 1993. Additionally, the ratio of
total debt to total capital declined from 43% at December 31, 1993, to 36% at
the end of 1994. Excluding the debt guarantees of the ESOPs, the total debt to
total capital ratios were 25% and 29%, respectively, at December 31, 1994 and
1993.
Including the unused portion of its committed credit lines with Bank of
America and PNC Bank, the Company had $34.3 million of unused lines of
short-term credit with various banks at December 31, 1994.
CASH FLOW
The Company's cash flows for 1994 and 1993 may be summarized as follows (in
millions):
For the Years Ended

------ ------
Increase/(decrease) in cash
and cash equivalents $ (9.9) $ .1
====== ======
The increase in cash provided by operating activities from $17.7 million in
1993 to $23.1 million in 1994 is largely attributable to increased operating
cash flow at Roto-Rooter during 1994. The increase in capital expenditures for
1994 was largely attributable to National Sanitary Supply, which exercised an
option to purchase its Los Angeles warehouse for $3.3 million. In addition,
expenditures for 1994 include $2.5 million of capital outlays by Patient Care,
acquired on January 1, 1994.
Based on recent cash and earnings projections, cash flow from operating
activities is expected to continue to grow in 1995 and later years, while the
increase in capital expenditures is expected to moderate. Management views the
Company's investment portfolio as a potential source of cash during the interim
period in which the Company's dividend payout ratio exceeds 100%. Should
favorable market conditions continue, it is anticipated that additional sales
of investments will be made in 1995. At December 31, 1994, unrealized gains on
the Company's available-for-sale investments amounted to $20.9 million
aftertax.
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.51 per share of
capital stock in February 1995, payable in March 1995 (the same rate paid in
each of the prior five quarters). The dividend rate is set each quarter with a
long-term perspective taking into consideration the Company's financial
position, earnings and cash flow, as well as interest rates, market conditions
and other economic factors.
COMMITMENTS
The Company's lease for corporate and general office facilities covers the
period from April 1991 to April 2006 and includes space which has been
subleased to the Company's former DuBois Chemicals Inc. subsidiary ("DuBois")
for varying terms expiring in the years 1998 through 2003. The Company had net
lease commitments aggregating $46.2 million at December 31, 1994.
Because Company contributions previously made to other benefit or retirement
plans have been used to fund ESOP debt requirements, the loss of DuBois'
contributions to the ESOPs initially had a significant impact on the funding of
the ESOPs. Since 1991, however, qualifying employees of National Sanitary
Supply and Veratex have become participants in the Company's ESOPs, and a major
portion of the ESOP loans was refinanced in January 1992 at lower interest
rates. Therefore, on both a short- and long-term basis, it is not anticipated
that the funding of ESOP contributions will have a significant impact on the
Company's ability to satisfy its long-term obligations.
37
22
As a part of the DuBois sale agreement between the Company and Diversey
Corporation ("Diversey"), the Company agreed to reimburse Diversey up to a
maximum of $25.5 million for environmental cleanup and related costs arising
from the operations of DuBois prior to the sale date. At the time of the sale,
Chemed's environmental attorney estimated the extent of Chemed's liability
under the environmental indemnification sections of the sale agreement with
Diversey to be in the range of $9.5 million to $18.5 million. Furthermore, this
attorney opined that the single best estimate of Chemed's liability was $15.5
million. Accordingly, the Company accrued $15.5 million in 1991 for its
estimated share of these costs and is contingently liable for additional
cleanup and related costs up to a maximum of $10.0 million, for which no
provision has been recorded. Through December 31, 1994, the Company has
reimbursed Diversey $1.3 million for prior years' environmental and related
costs of DuBois.
The Company's various loan agreements and guarantees of indebtedness contain
certain restrictive covenants; however, management believes that such covenants
will not adversely affect the operations of the Company. Under the most
restrictive of these covenants at December 31, 1994, the Company would be
limited to incurring additional debt totaling $91,828,000 and could not permit
its net worth to fall below $149,526,000 (versus a balance of $186,320,000 at
December 31, 1994). Additionally, the Company is limited to incurring net
rentals under operating leases with terms of three years or more aggregating
$13,974,000 as compared with such rentals totaling $6,779,000 during 1994.
It is management's opinion that the Company has no long-range commitments
which would have a significant impact on its liquidity, financial condition or
the results of its operations. Due to the nature of the environmental
liabilities, it is not possible to forecast the timing of cash payments
relative to these potential liabilities. Based on the Company's available
credit lines, sources of borrowing and liquid investments, management believes
its sources of capital and liquidity are satisfactory for the Company's needs
for the foreseeable future.

Total 5.3 5.5 5.2
1994 VERSUS 1993
Sales of the National Sanitary Supply segment increased 4% to $308,280,000
in 1994. This sales increase resulted from stronger sales during the last six
months of 1994 due to an improved economic climate, especially in Southern
California, and to improved product pricing, particularly in paper and plastic
products. As a result of tight expense controls over personnel costs and other
operating expenses, the operating margin of this segment improved to 3.3%
during 1994 as compared with 3.1% in 1993.
Sales and service revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment for 1994 totaled
$171,930,000, an increase of 26% over the revenues recorded in 1993. Excluding
Encore, acquired by Roto-Rooter's and Chemed's jointly owned Service America
Systems Inc. ("Service America" -- formerly Convenient Home Services Inc.)
subsidiary, total revenues of this segment for 1994 increased 14% over revenues
recorded in 1993. Also during 1994, plumbing revenues rose 20% to $37,048,000
and drain cleaning revenues grew 9% to $52,793,000 as compared with revenues
recorded in 1993. The operating margin of the Roto-Rooter segment declined from
10.5% during
38
23
1993 to 9.3% in 1994. This decline was attributable to lower margins in
Roto-Rooter's service contract business primarily due to the Encore
acquisition, which, as expected, has lower margins than those achieved in
Roto-Rooter's other repair and maintenance businesses. Higher material and
labor costs as a percent of sales and revenues also contributed to the lower
margins in 1994. Service America is enhancing training programs for new service
technicians to reduce material usage on service calls. The higher labor costs
resulted from expansion of the service labor force at a faster rate than the
growth rate in service contracts. During the last half of 1994, Service America
was able to bring the growth rate of the labor force into line with the growth
rate in service contracts. The trend of higher labor costs as a percent of
sales and service revenues is not expected to continue in 1995. Partially
offsetting this margin decline was continued improvement in Roto-Rooter's
insurance claims experience which had a favorable impact of 1.5 percentage
points on this segment's operating margin.
Sales of the Veratex segment for 1994 totaled $95,753,000, an increase
of 4% over sales for 1993. The operating margin of the Veratex segment declined
from 6.2% in 1993 to 5.7% in 1994 primarily due to nonrecurring expenses
aggregating $648,000 for the cost of staff reductions and refocusing marketing
efforts. Excluding these charges, the operating margin during 1994 was 6.3%.
These actions are expected to generate approximately $730,000 of cost savings
annually and improve Veratex's profit performance.
Sales of the Patient Care segment, acquired in January 1994, totaled
$69,064,000, an increase of 29% over the revenues Patient Care recorded during
1993. Patient Care contributed $2,790,000 to the Company's operating profit in
1994.
Consolidated sales and service revenues for 1994 totaled $645,027,000,
an increase of 23% over revenues recorded in 1993. Excluding the sales of
Patient Care and Encore, total sales and service revenues for 1994 increased 6%
over revenues recorded in 1993. The consolidated operating margin for 1994 was
5.3% as compared with 5.5% in 1993.
Income from operations increased 18% from $23,163,000 in 1993 to
$27,406,000 in 1994, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Patient Care
and higher levels of operating profits in the Roto-Rooter and National Sanitary
Supply segments. Partially offsetting these increases were nonrecurring charges
of $1,705,000 in 1994.
Other income--net for 1994 totaled $11,175,000 as compared with
$13,656,000 for 1993, a decline of $2,481,000. This decline was attributable to
smaller gains on the sales of investments ($5,471,000 in 1994 versus $6,695,000
in 1993) and lower interest income in 1994 due to a lower average balance in
cash and marketable securities.
For 1994, the Company's effective tax rate was 36.8% as compared with 33.2%
in 1993, primarily due to a higher effective state and local tax rate in 1994.
In addition, a lower ESOP dividend tax credit and lower favorable tax
adjustments (as a percent of pretax income) in 1994 contributed to the higher
effective rate.
Income from continuing operations declined slightly from $14,843,000 ($1.52
per share) in 1993 to $14,532,000 ($1.47 per share) in 1994, largely as a
result of the previously mentioned nonrecurring expenses ($1,107,000 aftertax
or $.12 per share). Excluding these expenses, income from continuing
operations increased 5% from $14,843,000 ($1.52 per share) in 1993 to
$15,639,000 ($1.59 per share) in 1994.
Net income for 1994 increased 125% to $43,922,000 ($4.46 per share)
from $19,480,000 ($1.99 per share) in 1993, primarily as the result of the
gains on sales of Omnicare stock recorded in 1994 ($23,358,000 or $2.37 per
share).
1993 VERSUS 1992
Sales of the National Sanitary Supply segment increased 3% to $296,865,000 in
1993. This sales advance was achieved by a unit volume increase of 5%, offset
in part by industry-wide deflationary pricing. As a result of tight expense
controls over personnel costs and bad debt expenses, the operating margin of
this segment declined only slightly during 1993.
Sales and services revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment for 1993 totaled
$136,428,000, an increase of 30% over the revenues recorded in 1992. Excluding
the Encore acquisition, total revenues of this segment for 1993 increased 13%
over revenues recorded in 1992. Also during 1993, plumbing revenues rose 21% to
$30,749,000 and drain cleaning revenues increased 10% to $48,384,000 as
compared with revenues recorded in 1992. The operating margin of the
Roto-Rooter segment declined slightly from 10.7% during 1992 to 10.5% in 1993,
primarily due to the acquisition of Encore, which has lower operating margins
than Roto-Rooter's other businesses.
39
24
Sales of the Veratex segment, acquired effective December 1, 1992, for 1993
totaled $91,800,000, an increase of 8% over full-year sales for 1992. During
1993, Veratex contributed $5,660,000 to the Company's operating profit as
compared with $607,000 for the month of December 1992. The operating margin of
8.0% recorded in December 1992 was unusually high due to three extra selling
days falling in that month.
Consolidated sales and service revenues for 1993 totaled $525,093,000,
an increase of 31% over revenues recorded in 1992. Excluding the sales of
Veratex and Encore, total sales and service revenues for 1993 increased 5% over
revenues recorded in 1992. The improvement of the total operating margin from
5.2% in 1992 to 5.5% in 1993 was largely attributable to the acquisition of
Veratex late in 1992.
Income from operations increased 53% from $15,180,000 in 1992 to
$23,163,000 in 1993, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Veratex and
Encore.
Interest expense increased by $3,157,000 from $5,732,000 in 1992 to
$8,889,000 in 1993, largely as a result of the issuance in December 1992 of the
$50,000,000 8.15% Senior Notes, due 2004. Lower interest expense on the ESOP
debt, coupled with the scheduled repayment of $21,000,000 of Series A and B
Senior Notes (which carried interest rates slightly in excess of 10% per
annum), partially offset the increased interest expense of the 8.15% Senior
Notes.
Other income--net for 1993 totaled $13,656,000 as compared with
$12,736,000 for 1992, an increase of $920,000. This increase was attributable
to larger gains on the sales of investments ($6,695,000 in 1993 versus
$2,877,000 in 1992), partially offset by lower interest income in 1993. The
decline in interest income primarily was due to lower interest rates on cash
equivalents and marketable securities in 1993.
For 1993, the Company's effective tax rate was 33.2% as compared with 29.4%
in 1992, primarily due to a higher effective state and local tax rate in 1993.
In addition, a lower ESOP dividend tax credit and a lower domestic dividend
exclusion (as a percent of pretax income) in 1993 contributed to the higher
effective rate.
Income from continuing operations increased 19% from $12,506,000 ($1.28 per
share) in 1992 to $14,843,000 ($1.52 per share) in 1993, as a result of the
higher level of investment gains in 1993 ($4,274,000 after taxes or $.44 per
share in 1993 versus $1,899,000 after taxes or $.20 per share in 1992).
Net income for 1993 increased 24% to $19,480,000 ($1.99 per share) from
$15,651,000 ($1.60 per share). Earnings for 1993 included $1,651,000 ($.17 per
share) from the cumulative effect of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
REPORTING ON ADVERTISING COSTS
In December 1993, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs," which
requires that advertising costs, except costs of direct response advertising,
be expensed no later than the period in which the advertising first takes
place. Adoption of this statement is required for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1994.
Because substantially all of the Company's advertising costs relate to
either direct response advertising or are expensed within the period in which
the advertising first appears, adoption of SOP No. 93-7 in 1995 will not
materially impact the Company's results of operations or financial position.
