(2) The ratio of earnings to
fixed charges has been computed by adding income before income taxes and fixed
charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by fixed
charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including the
amortization of debt expense) and one-third (the proportion deemed
representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.

(3) Effective January 1, 2009, Omnicare adopted the provisions
    of FSP APB 14-1. Financial statements for 2008 and prior periods have been
    restated for this change in accounting.
