These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrators. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for Plan benefits of the MEDIQ Incorporated Employees' Savings Plan as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic financial statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's administrators. This supplemental information by fund has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MEDIQ INCORPORATED EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993, 1992 AND 1991 A.Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the MEDIQ Incorporated Employees' Savings Plan (the 'Plan') are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Investments are stated at their September 30 market value. Market values for investments are determined by closing prices as of the last trading day of the Plan year. Dividends and interest are recorded when earned. Employee and employer contributions are recorded in the period to which they are applicable. Brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, are charged directly to the Plan. All other costs and expenses of the Plan are paid for by MEDIQ Incorporated (the 'Company'). Should the Company elect not to pay administrative expenses, such expenses will be paid by the Plan. B.Plan Description The following is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. Plan participants should refer to the Plan documents for a complete description of the Plan. The original effective date of the Plan was October 1, 1983. The Plan was amended in its entirety effective as of October 1, 1989. Employees are eligible to join the Plan upon completion of twelve months employment during which they have worked a minimum of 1,000 hours and are age 21 or older. Participants may contribute to the Plan from 1% to 15% of their salaries to be invested, as they choose, in the various funds described in Note C. If the participant's compensation exceeds $62,345, the contribution is limited to 6%. The Plan provides that the Company will make a matching contribution equal to $.50 for each $1.00 contributed by a participant, subject to certain limitations. The Company's matching contribution is made in cash to be used to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company for the account of the participants. A participant's accrued benefit is at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable upon death, retirement, disability or termination of employment. Distributions from the funds, with the exception of the stock fund, are made in cash. Distributions from the stock fund are in the form of the securities held; however, distributions of the Company's common stock shall be made in cash whenever the number of shares to be distributed is 100 or less. C.Investment Options Contributions are invested in accordance with the written directions of the participant in one or more of the following funds: 1. Savings Fund: The fund seeks maximum current income, preservation of capital, and liquidity by investing in a portfolio of money market investments that mature in one year or less. C.Investment Options (continued) 2. Equity Fund: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and income by investing in a portfolio of common stocks. As a secondary objective, the fund also seeks a reasonable level of current income. 3. Balanced Fund: The fund objectives are to conserve capital, produce reasonable current income and generate capital growth. The fund maintains 60% to 70% of its assets in stocks and 30% to 40% in fixed income securities. 4. Fixed Income Fund: The objective of the fund is to achieve a high level of current income. The fund invests in mortgage-backed certificates issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). 5. Stock Fund: The assets of the stock fund, including earnings thereon, are invested in the Company's common stock. A brokerage firm purchases the Company's stock at prevailing market rates in the open market and, in the normal course of business, sells such stock to meet distribution requirements of the Plan. Also included in the stock fund is Mental Health Management, Inc. (MHM) common stock, which originated from a distribution by the Company. No participant has the option of acquiring additional MHM common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, with the exception of the Company's matching contributions, the selection of investment options is the sole responsibility of each participant. Neither the trustees nor the Company have any responsibility to select investment options or to advise participants in selecting their investment options. Subject to applicable provisions of law, each participant assumes all risks connected with any decrease in the market value of any securities in these funds, and distributions from such funds are the sole source of payments made under the Plan. D.Investments The investments of the Plan consist of the following:

The Equity Fund's investment is comprised of 270,007 shares of Vanguard Investment's Windsor Fund, with a market value of $14.88 per share at September 30, 1993 and 228,298 shares at $12.26 per share at September 30, 1992. D.Investments (continued) The Balanced Fund's investment is comprised of 75,974 shares of Vanguard Investment's Wellington Fund, with a market value of $20.69 per share at September 30, 1993 and 56,537 shares at $19.16 per share at September 30, 1992. The Fixed Income Fund's investment is comprised of 55,725 shares of Vanguard Investment's Fixed Income Securities -- GNMA portfolio, with a market value of $10.44 per share at September 30, 1993 and 29,237 shares at $10.52 per share at September 30, 1992. The Stock Fund's investment is comprised of 738,849 shares of the Company's common stock and 78,194 shares of MHM common stock, with a market value of $4.625 and $4.25 per share, respectively, at September 30, 1993 and 712,503 shares of the Company's common stock and 4,922 shares of the Company's preferred stock, with a market value of $4.625 and $4.50 per share, respectively, at September 30, 1992. Investment income is accrued as earned. The net appreciation or depreciation in market value of investments represents the change in aggregate quoted market value during the periods except to the extent of gains or losses realized on investments sold during the year. E.Loans A participant may be granted a loan at the discretion of the Plan Administrator in accordance with current IRS regulations. Loans shall be repaid in equal installments of principal and interest over a period and at rates designated by the Plan. F.Withdrawals Participants are limited to two withdrawals per Plan year with respect to amounts attributable to basic contributions. In order to obtain a hardship withdrawal, a participant must exhaust the possibility of all other withdrawals (other than hardship withdrawals) under the Plan. Upon receiving a hardship distribution, a participant is suspended from making contributions to the Plan for one year. G.Plan Participants As of September 30, 1993 and 1992, respectively, 934 and 842 employees of the Company were members of the Plan and participated in each fund as follows:
SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ 1993 1992 ----- ----- Savings Fund........ 539 690 Equity Fund......... 604 470 Balanced Fund....... 490 369 Fixed Income Fund... 276 203 Stock Fund.......... 933 841
Plan participants may invest in one or more funds. As a result, the sum of the number of participants in each fund is not equal to the employee totals in 1993 and 1992. H.Administration of the Plan The Plan is administered by Michael F. Sandler, the Plan Administrator, who has fiduciary responsibility for the general operations of the Plan and may interpret provisions of the Plan. The Plan Administrator does not have any responsibilities with respect to the investment of Plan assets. The Plan's trustees are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company for indefinite terms and may resign or be removed at any time. The Company indemnifies such trustees to the extent determined by its Board of Directors. During the most recently completed Plan year, the trustees were Michael F. Sandler, Senior Vice President -- Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Donald M. Gleklen, Senior Vice President -- Corporate Development, and Eugene M. Schloss, Jr., Secretary, of the Company. In March 1994, the Company appointed Tom Carroll, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of MEDIQ/PRN Life Support Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Company), and Mark Lawlor, Controller and Assistant Treasurer of the Company, as trustees to replace Mr. Gleklen and Mr. Schloss. Under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ('ERISA'), each of the above individuals is a 'party-in-interest' and serves without compensation. Although the Company expects to continue the Plan, the right to amend or terminate the Plan is reserved. In the event of Plan termination, the net assets of the Plan would be allocated as required by ERISA, as amended. I.Federal Tax Considerations The Plan Administrator received a determination letter dated May 15, 1985 from the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') that the Plan met the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code'). Effective October 1, 1989, the Plan was amended in its entirety to conform with legislative changes. The Plan is seeking a new determination letter from the IRS. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and that the Plan's related trust is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. As a result, matching contributions and salary reduction contributions, as well as earnings on all Plan assets, are generally not subject to federal income tax until distributed from the Plan. The Plan Administrator must refund excess aggregate contributions and excess contributions to certain highly compensated employees for the plan year ended September 30, 1993 to meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code. The Plan Administrator intends to make the required distributions prior to September 30, 1994. By making such distributions, the Plan will be in compliance with applicable IRS rules for the year ending September 30, 1993. In addition, the Plan Administrator made the necessary refunds for the year ended September 30, 1992.
