                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)  Description of Business

     Fresenius USA, Inc. manufactures and distributes equipment and disposable
products for the treatment of kidney failure by hemodialysis and by peritoneal
dialysis. The Company is one of only two companies in the United States offering
a full line of both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis machines and disposable
products. These machines and products are used to cleanse a patient's blood of
waste products and fluids normally eliminated by properly functioning kidneys.

(2)  Net Income Per Common Share

     Net income per common share was computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
(when dilutive) outstanding during each year. Stock options, common stock
warrants, and the Series F preferred stock are considered to be common stock
equivalents.

     The computation of fully diluted net income per share would also include
the effect of converting other outstanding securities such as convertible debt,
when the effect is dilutive, and the additional dilution related to stock
options when the market price at the end of the period is higher than the
average market price for the period. For the period presented, the effect of 
these items was either antidilutive or not materially different from the net 
income per common share presented in the financial statements.

(3)  Income Taxes

     At December 31, 1994, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $50.0 million for federal income tax reporting purposes. The net
operating losses expire in varying amounts beginning in 1998 through 2006. The
ability of the Company to use carryforwards to offset taxes on its future income
is also subject to certain annual cumulative limitations. The Company believes
that it has sufficient net loss carryforwards to offset any 1995 net income for
federal income tax reporting purposes.

(5)  Commitments and Contingencies

     In 1994, the Company began construction of a 104,000 square foot addition
to its manufacturing facility in Ogden, Utah for the manufacture of polysulfone
dialyzers. The Company has expended approximately $19.2 million for this
construction as of March 31, 1995 and expects to expend additional funds of
approximately $7.0 million during the remaining quarters of 1995 to complete the
facility. Substantially all of the remaining expenditures will be funded under
the operating lease discussed below.

     On March 31, 1995 the Company entered into a sale leaseback arrangement
with a bank which covers the sale by the Company of approximately $19.0 million
of certain new equipment to the bank and the leaseback of the equipment under a
four year operating lease. As of March 31, 1995, approximately $11.8 million of
equipment had been funded under this arrangement and leased back by the Company.

     In March 1995, the Company replaced a $15.0 million line of credit
supported by Fresenius AG with a $20.0 million line of credit from a commercial
bank independent of support from Fresenius AG. This line of credit is secured by
the Company's accounts receivable.

the first quarter 1994. The increase in net sales for the first quarter of 1995
compared with the same period in 1994 is a result of continued higher unit sales
volumes for both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis products.

         Net sales of hemodialysis products were $47.3 million, an increase of
$7.0 million or 17.3% compared to net sales for the first quarter of 1994.

increase of $1.9 million or 10.9% compared to first quarter 1994 net sales.

first quarter 1995 and the first quarter 1994.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expense and Research and
Development Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense and research
and development expense were $17.0 million for the first quarter 1995, an
increase of $1.5 million or 9.7% compared with the first quarter 1994. These
expenses as a percentage of net sales were 25.0% for the first quarter 1995
compared to 26.0% for the first quarter of 1994.

         Income Tax Benefit (Expense). During the first quarter of 1995, the
Company recognized a tax benefit of $849,000 related to the Company's net
operating loss carryforward from previous years. Income tax expense for the
first quarter 1995 excluding the benefit referred to above was $320,000, an
increase of $90,000 compared to the first quarter of 1994.

         Net Income. Net income was $3.3 million for the first quarter 1995, an
increase of $1.8 million or 115.9% compared to net income for the first quarter
1994. Net income for the first quarter 1995 included the tax benefit described 
above which resulted from recognition of a portion of the Company's deferred
tax asset.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, the Company has financed its operations, working capital
and capital expenditures through bank borrowings obtained with credit support
from Fresenius AG, private placements of preferred stock and common stock to
Fresenius AG and internally generated funds. Since 1990, the Company has
realized $19.5 million in net proceeds from private placements of preferred and
common stock to Fresenius AG, all of which was utilized to reduce outstanding
obligations to Fresenius AG and affiliated companies.

     In March 1994, the Company began construction of a 104,000 square foot
addition to its manufacturing facility in Ogden, Utah for the manufacture of
polysulfone dialyzers. The Company has expended approximately $19.2 million for
this construction as of March 31, 1995 and expects to expend additional funds of
approximately $7.0 million during the remaining quarters of 1995. Substantially
all of the remaining expenditures will be funded under the operating lease
described below.

         During June 1994, the Company completed an underwritten public offering
of 3,450,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, including 450,000 shares
issued upon the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option. The net
proceeds of approximately $16.3 million were used to repay indebtedness and
short-term credit facilities. These lines of credit were utilized to fund the
expansion of the Company's manufacturing facilities in Ogden, Utah.

     During March 1995, the Company replaced an existing $15.0 million line of
credit with a commercial bank supported by Fresenius AG with a $20.0 million
line of credit from a commercial bank independent of support from Fresenius AG,
but secured by the Company's accounts receivable. On March 31, the Company also
entered into an arrangement with a commercial bank, whereby the bank has
committed to purchase $19.0 million of the Company's manufacturing equipment in
Ogden, Utah, and lease the equipment back to the Company under a four year
renewable operating lease. As of March 31, 1995, approximately $11.8 million of
equipment had been acquired by the bank and leased back by the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The present source of liquidity for the Company is its cash balances, which
totalled to $2.9 million as of March 31, 1995, and amounts available under
various lines of credit and the operating lease described above. As of March
31, 1995, the Company had outstanding short term borrowings under lines of
credit of $23.7 million with six commercial banks. These lines of credit provide
for total credit availability of $47.0 million. Fresenius AG provided credit
support for $27.0 million to enable the Company to obtain these lines of credit.
In addition, at March 31, 1995, the Company had fully drawn the amount available
under a $4.5 million short-term line of credit with Fresenius AG, the terms of
which are similar to those of the lines of credit with the six commercial banks
described above.

         The Company believes that its committed, and possible future bank or
other commercial financing, combined with internally generated funds, will be
sufficient to fund the Ogden, Utah plant expansion, the Company's other capital
expenditures, working capital requirements and other obligations.
