CHEMED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
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, 1997.
2. Earnings per common share are computed using the weighted
average number of shares of capital stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share reflect the dilutive impact
of outstanding stock options and nonvested stock awards.
3. The Company had total comprehensive income of $2,122,000,
$8,940,000, $8,471,000 and $7,045,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The difference between
the Company's net income and comprehensive income relates to
the cumulative unrealized appreciation/depreciation on its
available-for-sale securities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
- -------------------
The decline in cash and cash equivalents from $71.0 million at
December 31, 1997 to $54.0 million at June 30, 1998 is primarily due
to the use of cash for business combinations and for the payments of
costs relative to discontinued operations (largely a post-closing
balance sheet valuation adjustment related to operations
discontinued in September 1997). The decline in other assets from
$21.5 million at December 31, 1997 to $16.9 million at June 30, 1998
is primarily due to the reclassification of certain assets of rabbi
trusts used to fund non-qualified benefit plans. In accordance with
a recent consensus by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, shares of Chemed stock held by
the trusts are included in treasury stock at June 30, 1998.
The decline in other current liabilities from $42.3 million at
December 31, 1997 to $36.0 million at June 30, 1998 is primarily due
to the payment of liabilities relative to operations discontinued in
prior years.
Vitas Healthcare Corporation ("Vitas"), the privately held
provider of hospice services to the terminally ill in which the
Company carries an investment of $27 million of redeemable preferred
stock, made preferred dividend payments of $499,500 and $2,116,800,
on June 19 and July 15, 1998, respectively. As a result, the
preferred dividends in arrears have been reduced from $2.4 million
at March 31, 1998 to $1.0 million at July 31, 1998. Vitas is
continuing to explore long-term financing alternatives to increase
its liquidity. In connection therewith, the Company extended the
maturity date on its holdings of preferred stock from the fourth
quarter of 1998 to April 1, 1999. On the basis of current
information, management believes the company's investment in Vitas
is fully recoverable and that no impairment exists.
At June 30, 1998 Chemed had approximately $106.2 million of
unused lines of credit with various banks. Management believes its
liquidity and sources of capital are satisfactory for the Company's
needs in the foreseeable future.

Second Quarter 1998 versus Second Quarter 1997
- ----------------------------------------------
Service revenues and sales of the Roto-Rooter segment for
the second quarter of 1998 totalled $47,060,000, an increase of 30%
over the $36,301,000 recorded in the second quarter of 1997.
Revenues of the plumbing services business and the drain cleaning
business increased 40% and 12%, respectively, for the second quarter
of 1998, as compared with the revenues recorded in the second
quarter of 1997. These revenues accounted for 42% and 38%,
respectively of Roto-Rooter's total revenues and sales during the
1998 period. Excluding businesses acquired in 1997 and 1998,
revenues for the second quarter of 1998 increased 13% over such
revenues recorded in the 1997 period. The operating margin of the
Roto-Rooter segment during the second quarter of 1998 was 9.8% as
compared with 10.3% during the second quarter of 1997. This decline
was attributable to a lower gross profit margin in the 1998 second
quarter. The lower margin was attributable to a change in sales mix
in the 1998 period as revenues of the plumbing repair business and
heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") business
increased at greater rates than the sewer and drain cleaning
business which carries a higher margin than plumbing and HVAC.
Service revenues of the Patient Care segment declined 8%
from $32,714,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $29,980,000 in the
second quarter of 1998. This decline was primarily due to a decline
in Medicare revenues resulting from the passage of the Balanced
Budget Act of 1997. The operating margin of this segment increased
from 4.5% during the second quarter of 1997 to 5.3% during the
second quarter of 1998 due primarily to lower branch operating
expenses as a percent of revenues.
Service revenues and sales of the Service America segment
increased 5% from $17,004,000 to $17,903,000 in the second quarter
of 1998. This revenue increase was largely attributable to a 12%
increase in revenues of Service America's retail business which
accounts for approximately 22% of its overall sales. The operating
margin of the Service America segment was 4.9% in the 1997 quarter
and 5.1% in the 1998 period.
Income from operations increased from $4,617,000 in the
second quarter of 1997 to $5,246,000 in the second quarter of 1998,
primarily as a result of higher operating profit of the Company's
three segments.
Interest expense declined from $2,915,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 to $1,841,000 in the second quarter of 1998,
primarily due to the reduction in the Company's long-term debt which
occurred in September of 1997.
Page 9 of 17
Other income-net increased from $4,482,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 to $5,612,000 in the second quarter of 1998
primarily due to larger gains on the sales of investments and
increased interest income in the 1998 period. The increase in
interest income was primarily due to larger cash balances during
1998.
The Company's effective income tax rate during the second
quarter of 1998 was 38.3% as compared with 36.2% during the second
quarter of 1997. This increase was largely attributable to the
decline (as a percent of income before taxes) in the tax benefit on
dividends paid to the Company's ESOP during 1998.
Income from continuing operations during the second
quarter of 1998 totalled $5,566,000 ($.56 per share) as compared
with $3,944,000 ($.40 per share) in the second quarter of 1997.
This increase was attributable to larger gains on the sales of
investments, lower interest expense and higher interest income
during the 1998 period. Excluding gains from the sales of
investments in both periods, income from continuing operations for
the second quarter of 1998 totalled $.31 per share as compared with
$.19 per share during the second quarter of 1997.
Net income declined from $6,292,000 ($.63 per share) in
the 1997 second quarter to $5,566,000 ($.56 per share) in the 1998
second quarter, as a result of income from discontinued operations
of $2,348,000 in 1998, primarily relating to operations disposed of
in September 1997.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Versus June 30, 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------
Service revenues and sales of the Roto-Rooter segment for
the first six months of 1998 totalled $88,739,000, an increase of
23% over the $72,180,000 recorded in the first six months of 1997.
Revenues of the plumbing services business and drain cleaning
business increased 31% and 11%, respectively, for the first six
months of 1998. Excluding revenues of businesses acquired in 1998
and 1997, revenues of the segment increased 11% during the first six
months of 1998. The operating margin of the Roto-Rooter segment in
the first six months of 1998 was 9.6% as compared with 10.0% during
the first six months of 1997. This decline was attributable to a
lower gross profit margin in the 1998 period primarily resulting
from a change in sales mix.
Page 10 of 17
Revenues of the Patient Care segment increased 2% from
$58,647,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $59,780,00 in the
first six months of 1998. Excluding the revenues of businesses
acquired in 1997 and 1998, revenues for the 1998 period declined 4%
in 1998 primarily from a decline in Medicare revenues resulting from
the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The operating
margin of this segment was 4.2% in the first six months of 1997,
increasing to 4.6% during the first six months of 1998. This
increase was primarily attributable to lower branch operating
expenses as a percent of revenues in the 1998 period.
Service revenues and sales of the Service America segment
increased 6% from $32,849,000 in the first six months of 1997 to
$34,839,000 in the first six months of 1998. This revenues increase
was driven by a 18% increase in the sales of Service America's
retail business, during the 1998 period. The operating margin of
the Service America segment was 4.9% during the first six months of
1998 as compared with 4.8% during the first six months of 1997.
Income from operations increased from $8,834,000 during
the first six months of 1997 to $8,991,000 during the comparable
period of 1998. This increase was primarily a result of higher
operating profit recorded by all three of the Company's segments
during 1998, partially offset by operating costs of the Company's
developing software consulting operations and favorable accrual
adjustments to overhead expenses during the first quarter of 1997.
Interest expense declined from $5,552,000 during the first
six months of 1997 to $3,599,000 during the first six months of
1998, largely as a result of the reduction of the Company's long-
term debt which occurred during September of 1997.
Other income-net declined from $14,874,000 during the
first six months of 1998 to $13,945,000 during the first six month
of 1997, as a result of lower investment gains recorded in 1998,
partially offset by increased interest income during the 1998
period.
The Company's effective tax rate during the first six
months of 1998 was 38.9% as compared with 37.6% during the first six
months of 1997. This increase was largely due to a reduction (as a
percent of income before taxes) in the tax benefit on dividends paid
to the Company's ESOP during the 1998 period.
Income from continuing operations during the first six
months of 1998 totalled $11,817,000 ($1.18 per share) as compared
with $11,321,000 ($1.14 per share) for the first six months of 1997.
Page 11 of 17
This increase was primarily attributed to lower interest expense and
higher interest income during the 1998 period partially offset by
larger realized capital gains on the sales of investments during the
1997 period. Excluding gains on the sales of investments in both
periods, income from continuing operations for the first six months
of 1998 totalled $.55 per share as compared with $.37 per share
during the first six months of 1997.
Net income declined from $14,779,000 ($1.49 per share) in
the first six months of 1997 to $11,817,000 ($1.18 per share) in the
1998 first six moths, largely as a result of income from
discontinued operations recorded in the first six months of 1997,
primarily relating to operations which were disposed of in September
1997.

Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
The Securities and Exchange commission has recently amended
Rule 14a-4. For shareholder proposals to be presented at annual
shareholders' meetings other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (i.e.,
which are not to be included in the registrant's proxy
statement), management may exercise discretionary voting
authority under proxies solicited by it for the meetings if it
receives notice of such proposals less than 45 days prior to the
calendar date proxy materials were mailed for the prior year's
annual meeting.
As this new provision applies to the Company, if notice of a
non-Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposal to be presented at the
Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is received by the
Company after February 14, 1999, the Company may exercise
discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by it.
