Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC
Regulation S-X. Consequently, they do not include all the
disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, in
the opinion of the management of Chemed Corporation (the
"Company"), the financial statements presented herein contain
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Chemed"). For further
information regarding Chemed's accounting policies, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and notes included in
Chemed's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
2. 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.
3. Discontinued operations represent adjustments to the accruals
related to operations discontinued in 1991.
4. Nonrecurring expenses amounting to $538,000 pretax ($355,000
aftertax; $208,000 after minority interest or $.02 per share)
were incurred by Roto-Rooter in the third quarter of 1995 in
evaluating Chemed's proposal to acquire the 42% minority
interest in Roto-Rooter common stock. The proposal was
withdrawn in August 1995.
5. Effective September 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Roto-Rooter Inc. ("Roto-Rooter") it did
not own (approximately 2,261,000 shares) for $41 per share in
cash. As a result the Company's ownership interest in Roto-
Rooter increased from 58% to 100%. The aggregate estimated
purchase price of $102.1 million, including acquisition
related expenses, represents a premium of $67.9 million over
the fair value of the net assets acquired.
Roto-Rooter is the preeminent national supplier of sewer and
drain cleaning and plumbing repair services. Management
believes that its well-recognized name, base of business and
reputation have an indefinite life span. Accordingly, the
purchase price premium (goodwill) is being amortized over a
forty year period, the maximum life permitted by generally
accepted accounting principles.

disclosed that its previously-announced plan to merge with
Vitas Healthcare Corporation ("Vitas") is being reconsidered
and could be terminated in favor of alternative business
relationships between Apria and Vitas. Chemed has maintained
an investment in Vitas, a hospice provider, since 1991.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
- -------------------
The changes in the following balance sheet accounts
from December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1996 were primarily a
result of the Company's acquisition of the 42% minority interest
in Roto-Rooter Inc. ("Roto-Rooter") effective September 1, 1996
(in millions):
Increase/
(Decrease)
------------
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities $ (15.4)
Goodwill 68.9
Other assets 3.4
Bank notes and loans payable 65.0
Other current liabilities 7.3
Other liabilities and deferred income 4.0
Minority interest (30.3)
In addition, approximately half of the $7.6 million decline in
deferred income taxes since December 31, 1995 is attributable to
the purchase of Roto-Rooter's minority interest.
The decline in other current assets from $25.8 million
at December 31,1995 to $19.2 million at September 30, 1996 is
attributable to the receipt in April 1996 of the final deferred
payment from the sale of operations discontinued in 1991.
At September 30, 1996 the Company had approximately
$17.3 million of unused lines of credit with various banks.
Additionally, the Company has noncurrent investments of
approximately $83.9 million, most of which is invested in readily
marketable securities. It is anticipated that during the next
several quarters the amount of bank notes and loans payable
($90.0 million at September 30, 1996) will be substantially
reduced through the issuance of additional long-term debt and/or
sales of a portion of the Company's investment portfolio. Such
actions would serve to return the Company's current ratio to its
recent historical levels. Based on the foregoing, management
believes its sources of capital and liquidity are satisfactory
for the Company's needs in the foreseeable future.

Third Quarter 1996 Versus Third Quarter 1995
- ----------------------------------------------
Net sales of the National Sanitary Supply segment for
the third quarter of 1996 totaled $80,652,000, a decline of 10%
versus sales recorded during the third quarter of 1995. This
decline was primarily due to the loss of a large fast-food
customer during the first quarter of 1996. During the third
quarter of 1996 National Sanitary continued to achieve broad-
based sales growth in its core sanitary-maintenance product
lines, helping to partially offset the expected decline in its
food-service disposables business. The operating margin of this
segment was 4.2% during the third quarter of 1996 as compared
with 4.3% during the third quarter of 1995.
Sales and service revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment
for the third quarter of 1996 totaled $50,652,000, an increase of
12% over the $45,280,000 of revenues recorded for the third
quarter of 1995. For the third quarter of 1996, plumbing
revenues, which account for approximately one-fourth of total
revenues, and sewer and drain cleaning revenues, which account
for approximately one-third, increased 17% and 11%, respectively,
over amounts recorded in the comparable quarter of 1995.
Revenues of Roto-Rooter's service contract business (Service
America) for the third quarter of 1996, which account for
approximately one-third of this segment's total revenue,
increased 10% versus such revenues recorded in the third quarter
of 1995. The operating margin of the Roto-Rooter segment
increased from 8.0% during the third quarter of 1995 to 9.7%
during the third quarter of 1996 largely as a result of
nonrecurring costs ($538,000) incurred by Roto-Rooter in
evaluating Chemed's proposal to acquire the 42% minority interest
in Roto-Rooter (the proposal was withdrawn in August 1995).
Excluding these nonrecurring costs, the operating margin for the
third quarter of 1995 would have been 9.1%. Additionally, Roto-
Rooter's operating margin was favorably impacted by improving
margins of Service America during 1996.
Sales of the Omnia Group during the third quarter of
1996 totalled $17,893,000, a decline of 8% as compared with sales
recorded by this segment during the third quarter of 1995.
Similarly, the operating margin of this segment declined from
8.0% during the third quarter of 1995 to 2.6% during the third
quarter of 1996. These declines were due largely to the
reduction of paper prices in 1996. The outlook for the Omnia
Group is dependent upon its achieving various improvements in its
manufacturing and distributions systems, as well as making
strategic additions to its line of manufactured products.
Page 10 of 16
Total revenues of the Patient Care segment increased
from $23,377,000 in the third quarter of 1995 to $24,518,000 in
the third quarter of 1996. As a result of effective expense
management, Patient Care was able to leverage its fixed costs and
increase its operating margin from 5.6% during the third quarter
of 1995 to 5.9% during the third quarter of 1996.
Income from operations increased from $8,681,000 in
third quarter of 1995 to $8,696,000 during the third quarter of
1996, primarily as a result of increases in operating profit
reported by Roto-Rooter and Patient Care, offset by declines in
operating profit in the Omnia Group and National Sanitary
segments.
Other income for the third quarter of 1996 totalled
$1,633,000 as compared with $4,475,000 for the third quarter of
1995. This decline was attributable to the lack of gains on
sales of investment in the 1996 quarter as compared with pretax
gains aggregating $2,448,000 in the 1995 quarter. Additionally,
lower interest income during the 1996 quarter, as a result of
lower interest rates, coupled with the use of cash for the
September 1, 1996 purchase of the 42% minority interest in Roto-
Rooter, contributed to the decline in other income.
During the third quarter of 1996 the Company's
effective income tax rate was 39.6% as compared with 38.6% during
the comparable period of 1995. The higher rate in 1996 was
attributable primarily to higher effective state and local rates
during the 1996 period.
Chemed's income from continuing operations declined
from $5,708,000 ($.58 per share) during the third quarter of 1995
to $3,864,000 ($.39 per share) during the third quarter of 1996.
Earnings for the third quarter of 1995 included aftertax gains
aggregating $1,561,000, ($.16 per share) from the sale of various
investments and Chemed's share of Roto-Rooter's nonrecurring
expenses ($208,000 after income taxes and minority interest --
$.02 per share). Lower earnings from the Omnia Group during the
1996 quarter also contributed to this decline.
Net income for 1996's third quarter totalled $4,464,000
($.46 per share) as compared with $7,550,000 ($.77 per share) for
the third quarter of 1995. Discontinued operations for the third
quarter included gains of $600,000 ($.07 per share) and
$1,842,000 ($.19 per share) in 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing adjustments to the gain on the sale of operations
discontinued in 1991.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Versus September 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------
The National Sanitary Supply segment recorded sales of
$235,139,000 during the first nine months of 1996, a decline of
8% versus amounts recorded in the comparable period of 1995.
This sales decline was primarily the result of the loss of a
large fast-food customer during the first quarter of 1996.
National Sanitary's operating margin was 3.3% during the first
nine months of 1996 as compared with 3.4% during the comparable
period of 1995.
Sales and service revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment
for the first nine months of 1996 increased 12% as compared with
amounts recorded during the first nine months of 1995. This
sales growth was attributable primarily to revenue increases of
21% and 12%, respectively, in Roto-Rooter's plumbing and sewer,
drain cleaning and repair business for the 1996 period. Roto-
Rooter's operating margin increase from 8.5% during the first
nine months of 1995 to 9.2% during the first nine months of 1996.
Excluding $538,000 of nonrecurring expenses, the operating margin
for the first nine months of 1995 would have been 8.9%.
Sales of the Omnia Group declined 22% from $70,202,000
in the first nine months of 1995 to $54,674,000 in the first nine
months of 1996. Excluding the sales of the retail division (sold
in July of 1995), this segment's sales for the first nine months
for 1996 declined 6% as compared with sales recorded during the
comparable period of 1995. The operating margin of this segment
declined from 6.4% in the first nine months of 1995 to 5.2%
during the first nine months of 1996. The sales and margin
declines during the 1996 periods were primarily due to increases
in paper prices.
The Patient Care segment recorded sales of $73,361,000
during the first nine months of 1996, an increase of 10% over the
$66,516,000 recorded in the first nine months of 1995. This
sales growth resulted from continued geographic expansion. As a
result, the operating margin of this segment increased from 5.0%
during the first nine months of 1995 to 5.5% during the first
nine months of 1996.
Income from operations increased from $23,228,000 in
the first nine months of 1995 to $23,737,000 during the
comparable period of 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in the operating profit margin reported
by Roto-Rooter and Patient Care during the 1996 nine-month
period, partially offset by declines in operating profit reported
by The Omnia Group and National Sanitary Supply.
Page 12 of 16
Other income for the first nine months of 1996 totalled
$23,112,000 as compared with $15,151,000 for the first nine
months of 1995. The increase during the 1996 period was
