                          FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus includes forward-looking statements.  We  have based these

future events. Forward-looking statements  are generally identifiable by use of
the  words  "may,"  "will,"  "should,"  "expect,"   "anticipate,"   "estimate,"
"believe,"  "intend"  or "project" or the negatives of such words or variations
thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject

           operations of  acquired  businesses  and forming and operating joint
           ventures;

     .     competition from others;

     .     changes  in  interest  or  currency  exchange  rates  that limit our
           ability to generate new receivables and decrease  our  net  interest
           margins;

     .     increases in non-performing loans and credit losses;

     .     our inability to access capital and financing on terms acceptable to
           us;

     .     changes in any domestic or foreign governmental regulation affecting
           our ability to declare and  pay  dividends or the manner in which we
           conduct business;

     .     adverse changes, or any  announcement  relating  to  a  possible  or
           contemplated adverse change, in the ratings obtained from any of the
           independent rating agencies relating to our debt securities or other
           financial instruments;

     .     our  ability  and  the  ability  of  third parties with whom we have
           relationships to become year 2000 and euro compliant; and

     .     other risk factors set forth under "Risk Factors."

     We  undertake no obligation to  publicly update  or  revise  any  forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information,  future  events  or
otherwise.  In  light  of  these  risks,  uncertainties,  and  assumptions, the
forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus might not occur.

                                  THE COMPANY

     GENERAL.  We are  an  independent  specialty finance company that provides
asset-based financing to healthcare service providers.  Our core businesses are
medical equipment finance  and  medical receivables finance.  We  provide these
services principally in the U.S. and,  to  a  lesser  extent, in Latin America,
Europe, the U.K., Asia and Australia. As of September 30, 1998, our managed net
financed assets and shareholders' equity were $1.4 billion  and $177.6 million,
respectively.

     We  principally  serve  the  financing  needs  of middle market healthcare
service providers, such  as  outpatient  healthcare  providers, medical imaging
centers, physician  group  practices, integrated healthcare  delivery  networks
and hospitals.  Many  of  our  customers  are  entrepreneurial  companies  that
have capitalized on trends affecting the healthcare  delivery  systems  in  the
U.S. and other countries to build  their  businesses.  As  a  result  of  these
trends, our business has grown  substantially.  From June 30, 1995 to September
30, 1998, our  managed  net  financed  receivables  portfolio increased 183% to
approximately $1.4 billion from approximately $494.9 million.

     MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FINANCE. Our medical equipment finance business operates
by:
     .     providing financing directly to end users of diagnostic imaging  and
           other sophisticated medical equipment;

     .     providing financing directly to end users of lower cost medical
           devices;

     .     providing domestic and international finance programs for vendors of
           diagnostic and other sophisticated medical equipment; and

     .     to a lesser extent, purchasing  medical  equipment  loans and leases
           originated by regional leasing companies through  a  wholesale  loan
           origination program.

     Our typical equipment loans for diagnostic, patient  treatment  and  other
sophisticated    medical   equipment   (originated   both   domestically    and
internationally) range from $200,000 to $3.0 million, while equipment loans for
lower cost medical  devices range from $5,000 to $200,000. Virtually all of our
equipment loans are structured  so  that the full cost of the equipment and all
financing costs are repaid during the  financing  term, which typically is five
years. Because most of our equipment loans are structured  as  notes secured by
equipment  or  direct  financing  leases  with  a bargain purchase option,  our
exposure to residual asset value is limited; it was  $24.9 million at September
30, 1998. At September 30, 1998, our managed portfolio  of  equipment financing
loans was $1.2 billion.

     In recent years we have expanded our international business significantly.
Internationally,  we finance the  purchase  of  diagnostic  imaging  and  other
sophisticated medical  equipment  by  private  clinics,  diagnostic centers and
hospitals. Our international business is focused on providing  finance programs
for equipment manufacturers doing business in Latin America, Europe,  the U.K.,
Asia  and  Australia.  We  believe  our  presence in these regions enhances our
relationships with certain medical equipment  manufacturers  and  permits us to
capitalize   on   the  growing  international  markets  for  medical  equipment
financing. We view  continued  expansion  of  our  relationships  with  medical
equipment  vendors  and  manufacturers  as  an integral component of our growth
strategy  and  intend  to  continue  to expand our  medical  equipment  finance
activities  outside  the  U.S. We also believe  that  by  helping  vendors  and
manufacturers finance their customers' equipment purchases outside the U.S., we
will  encourage those vendors  and  manufacturers  to  increase  the  financing
opportunities  they  refer  to  us  within  the U.S. At September 30, 1998, our
managed portfolio of international equipment loans was $171.5 million.

     MEDICAL RECEIVABLES FINANCE.  Our  medical  receivables  finance  business
operates by:

     .     providing lines of credit to a wide variety of healthcare providers;
           and

                                       3
<PAGE>
     .     offering  an  interest-only  revolving  line  of credit to financial
           intermediaries that purchase receivables from healthcare providers.

     Substantially all of the lines of credit we provide are collateralized  by
third party medical receivables due from Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance
organizations,  referred  to  as  "HMOs,"   preferred  provider  organizations,
referred to as "PPOs," commercial insurance companies and, to a limited extent,
other healthcare service providers. We generally advance only 70% to 85% of our
estimate of the net collectible value of the  eligible  receivables  from third
party  payors.  Clients  continue  to bill and collect the accounts receivable,
subject  to  lockbox  collection and sweep  arrangements  established  for  our
benefit.  We  conduct  extensive   due   diligence  on  our  potential  medical
receivables clients for all of our financing  programs  and follow underwriting
and credit policies in providing financing to customers.  Our  credit  risk  is
mitigated by our ownership of or security interest in all receivables, eligible
and  ineligible.  We  also  recently acquired a highly sophisticated collateral
tracking system which will allow  us  to  improve  the  monitoring  of  medical
receivables.  Our  medical  receivables  loans  are structured as floating rate
lines  of  credit. These lines of credit typically  range  in  size  from  $1.0
million  to $15.0  million;  however,  in  certain  circumstances,  commitments
ranging from  $20.0  million  to  $40.0  million are also provided to financial
intermediaries  for  purchasing  receivables   from  healthcare  providers.  At
September  30,  1998,  our portfolio of medical receivables  loans  was  $140.0
million.

     ADDITIONAL FINANCING SERVICES. As a result of management's belief that the
long-term care and assisted care markets and  emerging  growth  companies  have
been underserved  by traditional financing sources, we established DVI Merchant
Funding and DVI Private  Capital, divisions of DVI Financial Services Inc., and
recently acquired Third Coast Capital. Through DVI Merchant Funding, we provide
fee-based  advisory services  such  as  private  placement,  loan  syndication,
interim real estate financing, mortgage loan placement and, to a lesser extent,
mergers and  acquisitions  advisory  services to our customers operating in the
long-term care, assisted care and specialized  hospital  markets.  Through  DVI
Private  Capital,  we  provide  subordinated  debt financing to our traditional
customer  base  and  through  Third  Coast  Capital,   we  provide  asset-based
financing, including lease lines of credit, to emerging growth companies.

     CREDIT UNDERWRITING.  We  believe  the  credit underwriting process we use
when originating  loans  is effective in managing  risk.  The  process  follows
detailed procedures and benefits from  our significant experience in evaluating
the creditworthiness  of  potential borrowers.  We also have been successful in
resolving delinquencies. Our net charge-offs as a percentage of average managed
net financed assets were 0.28%, 0.06% and 0.15% for the  years  ended  June 30,
1996,  1997  and  1998,  respectively,  and  were  0.29%  for  the period ended
September 30, 1998 (annualized). Our delinquencies (greater than a period of 30
days) as a percentage of managed net financed assets at June 30, 1996, 1997 and
1998  were  4.3%,  3.6% and 6.9%, respectively, and were 7.2% at September  30,
1998.


                                 RISK FACTORS

     THE COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE  OF RISK.  INVESTORS SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED BELOW TOGETHER WITH  ALL  OF  THE
INFORMATION  SET  FORTH  OR  INCORPORATED  BY  REFERENCE  IN THIS PROSPECTUS IN
DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PURCHASE ANY OF THE COMMON STOCK.

DEPENDENCE ON WAREHOUSE FINANCING AND PERMANENT FUNDING PROGRAMS

     In  order  to sustain the growth of our financing business, we depend upon
funding  from warehouse facilities until we are able to fund our equipment  and
other loans  permanently.  The funds we obtain through warehouse facilities are
full  recourse  short-term  borrowings  secured  primarily  by  the  underlying

                                       4
<PAGE>
equipment, medical receivables  and  other collateral. We typically repay these
borrowings with proceeds we receive when  we permanently fund our equipment and
other loans.

     At  September  30, 1998, we had available an  aggregate  of  approximately
$543.0  million  under  various  warehouse  facilities,  of which approximately
$423.0 million  was  available  for  funding  equipment loans and approximately
$120.0  million was available for funding medical receivables loans. We can not
give any assurance  that  this  type of warehouse financing will continue to be
available to us on acceptable  terms.  If we are unable to obtain such funds on
acceptable  terms,  we  will  have  to  limit  our  equipment  and  other  loan
originations.  This  would have a material  adverse  effect  on  our  financial
condition and results of operations.

     Our principal form of  permanent funding is securitization. Securitization
is  a  process  in  which a pool of equipment loans is transferred to a special
purpose  financing  vehicle  which  issues  notes  to investors.  Principal and
interest on the notes issued to investors by the securitization  subsidiary are
paid  from  the cash flows produced by the loan pool, and the notes are secured
by a pledge  of the assets in the loan pool as well  as  by  other  collateral.
In  the   securitizations  we  sponsor,  equipment  loans  funded  through  the
securitizations must  be  credit enhanced to receive an investment grade credit
rating.  In  the securitizations we have sponsored to date, we have effectively
been required to furnish  credit  enhancement  equal  to the difference between
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the equipment  loans  we  originated  and
transferred to our special-purpose  finance  subsidiary  and the related  costs
of  consummating the securitization  and (ii) the net proceeds received in such
securitizations.

     Our  ability  to  complete securitizations and  other  structured  finance
transactions depends upon a number of factors, including:

     .     general conditions in the credit markets;

     .     the size and liquidity of the market for the types of securities  we
           may issue or place in securitizations; and

     .     the overall performance of our loan portfolio.

     We  do  not  have  binding  commitments  from  financial  institutions  or
investment banks to provide permanent funding  for  our  equipment  or  medical
receivables  loans.   If  for  any  reason  we   were  unable  to   access  the
securitization markets, and/or obtain permanent  funding  for  our equipment or
other loans, we can not provide any assurance that our lenders would  refinance
or extend the terms of our  warehouse  facilities  for  a  sufficient period of
time for  us  to  obtain permanent funding or at all.  If  our  lenders did not
refinance or extend the terms of our warehouse facilities, we could possibly be
required to  repay  such  facilities,  the  consequence  of  which would have a
material  adverse  effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

ADVERSE EFFECT OF CUSTOMER DEFAULTS AND ASSOCIATED CREDIT RISK

     Many  of  our customers are outpatient healthcare providers. Loans to such
customers require a high degree  of  credit  analysis.  In  addition,  we  have
entered the long-term care and assisted  care  submarkets  and  recently,  have
begun  to  provide  asset-backed  financing  for  emerging growth companies and
subordinated  debt financing to our traditional customer  base,  all  of  which
require different  types of credit analysis. Although we try to reduce our risk
of default and credit losses through our underwriting practices, loan servicing
procedures and the use  of  various  forms  of non-recourse or limited recourse
financing (in which the financing sources that  permanently  fund our equipment
and other loans assume some or all of the risk of default by our customers), we
remain  exposed  to  potential losses resulting from a default by  a  customer.
Customers' defaults could result in the following:

                                       5
<PAGE>
     .     require us to make certain payments under our warehouse
           facilities;

     .     in permanent equipment and other funding arrangements, require us to
           make  payments  to  the  extent  of our remaining credit enhancement
           position;

     .     the  loss  of  the  cash  or  other  collateral  pledged  as  credit
           enhancement  under   our  permanent  equipment   and  other  funding
           arrangements; or

     .     the  loss  of  any  remaining  interest  we  may  have  kept  in the
           underlying equipment.

     During the period beginning  when  we initially fund an equipment or other
loan to when  we  fund  the  loan on a permanent  basis, we are exposed to full
recourse liability in the  event  of  default  by  the  borrower. While we have
typically been able to permanently fund our equipment and  other  loans, we may
not be able  to  permanently  fund  many  of  the  loans  in  our international
portfolio.  While we are currently in the process of securing permanent funding
for   our  international  portfolio   and  are   exploring   opportunities   to
permanently  fund  our other  financing  services,  with  respect to such loans
and services we may be subject to credit risk for a longer  period of time.  In
some  cases, this risk will extend for the life of the loans.  In addition, the
terms of securitizations and other  types  of  structured  finance transactions
generally require  us to replace or   repurchase   equipment and other loans in
the event they fail to conform  to the representations  and  warranties made by
us,  even  in  transactions otherwise designated  as  non-recourse  or  limited
recourse.

     Defaults  by  our  customers  could  also  adversely affect our ability to
obtain  additional  financing  in  the  future,  including  our  ability to use
securitization  or  other  forms  of  structured  finance.  The sources of such
permanent funding take into account the credit performance of the equipment and
other loans previously financed by us in deciding whether and  on what terms to
make new loans. In addition, the  credit  rating  agencies  often  involved  in
securitizations consider prior credit performance in determining the  rating to
be given to the securities issued in securitizations sponsored by us.

     Under our wholesale  loan origination program, we purchase equipment loans
from originators that generally do not have direct access to the securitization
market as a source of permanent funding for their loans.  Our Company  does not
work directly with the borrowers at the  origination  of  these equipment loans
and therefore is not directly involved in structuring the credits. As a result,
we must independently  verify  credit  information  supplied by the originator.
Accordingly, we face a somewhat higher degree of risk  when  we  acquire  loans
under  the  wholesale  loan origination program. During the twelve-month period
ended June 30, 1998 and  the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, loans
purchased under the wholesale program constituted 13.7% and 6.5%, respectively,
of the total domestic loans originated during such periods. We can not give any
assurance that we will be  able  to avoid the credit risks related to wholesale
loan origination.

ADVERSE EFFECT OF FLUCTUATING INTEREST RATES

     When we  borrow  funds  through  warehouse  facilities,  we are exposed to
certain risks  caused by  interest  rate  fluctuations.  Although our equipment
loans are structured  and  permanently  funded  on a fixed interest rate basis,
we use warehouse facilities until  permanent  funding is  obtained.  Since  the
funds we borrow  through warehouse facilities are on  a  floating interest rate
basis,  we use hedging  techniques  to protect our interest rate margins during
the period  that  warehouse  facilities   are   used  prior  to  an anticipated
securitization and sale. To manage our interest rate risk,  we  use  derivative
financial instruments such as forward rate agreements,  forward market sales or
purchases of treasury securities, and interest rate swaps   and  caps.  We  use
these derivatives to manage certain components of interest  rate risk including
mismatches of the maturity of assets  and  liabilities  on  our  balance sheet,
hedging anticipated loan securitizations and  sales  and  interest  rate spread
protection.  However, we can not give any assurance that:

                                       6
<PAGE>
     .     our hedging strategy or techniques will be effective;

     .     our  profitability  will not be adversely affected during any period
           of changes in interest rates; or

     .     the costs of hedging will not exceed the benefits.

     A substantial and sustained increase in  interest  rates  could  adversely
affect our ability to originate loans.  In  certain  circumstances   and  for a
variety of reasons,  we  may  retain  for  an  indefinite period certain of the
equipment   and  other  loans  we   originate.  In  such  cases,  our  interest
rate  exposure may continue for a longer period of time.

POSSIBLE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES FROM RECENT GROWTH

     In the past three years, we originated a significantly greater  number  of
equipment, medical receivables  and  other loans than we did in previous years.
As a result of this growth, our managed net  financed asset portfolio grew from
$494.9 million at June 30, 1995 to $1.4 billion at September 30, 1998. In light
of this growth, the historical performance of  our  loan  portfolio,  including
rates  of  credit  loss,  may not be useful in predicting future loan portfolio
performance. Any credit or  other  problems associated with the large number of
equipment and other loans recently originated are not yet apparent.

     Since November 1997, we have provided private placement, loan syndication,
interim real estate financing,  mortgage  loan  placement,  and,  to  a  lesser
extent, merger and acquisition  advisory  services to  the healthcare industry.
More recently, we  have  also  begun to offer asset-based financing to emerging
growth companies and subordinated  debt  financing  to our traditional customer
base. We have not provided these products and services  previously.  We can not
give  any  assurance  that  we  will  be  able to market these new products and
services successfully or at all, or that if  we  are  successful  in  marketing
these products and services that the returns on such products and services will
be consistent with our historical financial results.

ADVERSE EFFECT OF A HIGH CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

     At  September  30,  1998,  approximately 10.6% of our managed net financed
receivables were due from two of our customers and their respective affiliates,
representing  6.3%  and 4.3% of managed net financed receivables, respectively.
As a result, we are subject  to  the  risks  and  uncertainties  of  these  two
businesses and their respective affiliates. Adverse conditions affecting either
of  these  entities  could  have  a  material  adverse effect on our ability to
collect  the  total  amount of outstanding receivables  from  either  of  these
customers. While our customer  concentration has decreased as the number of our
clients has increased over time,  we  can  not  give  any  assurance  that such
concentration will continue to decrease in the future.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS; CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

     The portion of our medical equipment loans originated outside the U.S. was
26.0% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998  and  15.2%  in  the  three  month
period  ended  September  30, 1998. Because of our relationships  with  certain
manufacturers of high-cost  medical  equipment  who are conducting business and
expanding  internationally,  we  anticipate  that  equipment  loans  originated
outside the U.S. will become a significant portion of  our loan portfolio. With
the continuing expansion of our international business,  an  increasing portion
of  our  operations  may  continue  to  be subject to certain risks,  including
currency  exchange  risks  and  exchange controls  and  potential  adverse  tax
consequences.  These factors could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our
financial condition and results of operations.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     The  growth  of  our international  business is significantly dependent on
referrals  from  manufacturers   of  diagnostic  imaging  equipment  and  other
manufacturers of medical equipment we finance. In addition, these manufacturers
occasionally provide credit support  for  or  assume  first loss positions with
respect to equipment financing they refer to us. These  manufacturers  are  not
contractually obligated to give these referrals or to provide credit support or
assume  first  loss positions in connection with their referrals and we can not
give any assurance  that  they  will continue to do so. If for any reason we no
longer received the benefits of these  referrals  or related credit support and
assumptions  of  first  loss  positions,  our  international  growth  would  be
materially adversely affected.

     Our equipment loans  are  denominated  in  both  U.S.dollars  and  foreign
currencies. If denominated in U.S. dollars, our operating results  are  subject
to  fluctuation  based upon changes in the exchange rates of certain currencies
in relation to the U.S. dollar. We engage in hedging activities with respect to
our foreign currency  exposure  and  management  is  continuing  to monitor our
exposure to currency fluctuations and our hedging policies. However, we can not
give any assurance that such hedging techniques will be successful.

     We are also subject  to the adverse  impact devaluation would have on  our
international  customers'  ability  to  make payments  under  equipment  loans.
Although we try to account for the risk of  devaluation  when  originating  our
international  equipment  loans,  we can not give any assurance that we will be
successful.

     In Latin America,  our  equipment  loans  are  subject to "transfer risks"
where  a  foreign  government  may  block  foreign  currencies from leaving the
country  during  economic  downturns.  If a foreign government were to take any
action to block foreign currencies from leaving its country, overseas creditors
such  as  our Company would  be  unable  to  collect  payments  on their loans.
Since  all  of  our  Latin  American  equipment loans  are  denominated in U.S.
dollars, any transfer restrictions  on foreign currencies would have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MEDICAL RECEIVABLE FINANCING BUSINESS

     Our medical receivables financing business generally consists of providing
loans  to  healthcare  providers   that   are  secured  by  their  receivables.
Receivables  are  paid  by  groups  such as insurance  companies,  governmental
programs and other healthcare providers.  These  loans  may  also be secured by
other  types  of  collateral.  While we expect to focus on this business  as  a
significant part of our growth strategy,  we can not give any assurance that we
will be able to expand this business successfully  or avoid related liabilities
or losses.

     The  following  describes  the  unique  risks  involved   in  the  medical
receivables financing business:

     .     Overstatements  by  healthcare   providers   of   the   quality  and
           characteristics of  their  medical  receivables, which we analyze in
           determining  the  amount of the line of credit to be secured by such
           receivables.  After  our  determination  has  been  made, healthcare
           providers   could  change  their  billing  and  collection  systems,
           accounting  systems or patient records in a way that could adversely
           affect  our ability to monitor the quality and/or performance of the
           related medical receivables.

     .     Technical  legal  issues  associated  with  creating and maintaining
           perfected  security  interests  in medical receivables, specifically
           those generated by Medicaid and Medicare claims.

     .     Payors  may make payments directly to healthcare providers that have
           the effect (intentionally  or otherwise) of circumventing our rights
           in such payments.

     .      Payors  may  attempt  to  offset their payments to us against debts
            owed to the payors by the healthcare providers.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     .      As a lender whose position is secured by receivables, we  are  less
            likely  to  collect  outstanding  receivables  in  the  event  of a
            borrower's  insolvency  than  a lender whose position is secured by
            medical equipment that the borrower needs to operate its business.

     .      A  borrower  that  defaults  on  obligations  secured  by   medical
            receivables may require  additional  loans, or modifications to the
            terms of existing loans, in order  to continue operations and repay
            outstanding loans.

     .      A  conflict  of  interest  may arise when we act as servicer for an
            equipment-based  securitization  and  originate medical receivables
            loans to borrowers whose equipment loans have been securitized.

     .      The  fact  that  the use of structured finance transactions to fund
            medical  receivables  is  a  relatively  new process may impair our
            efforts to develop suitable sources of funding.

     Although we believe we have  structured  our  credit  policies and lending
practices  to  take into account these and other factors (including the  recent
acquisition of a  highly  sophisticated  collateral  tracking system which will
allow us to improve the monitoring of medical receivables), we can not give any
assurance that we will not sustain credit losses in connection with our medical
receivables financing business. We also can not give assurance that the medical
receivables financing business will meet our growth expectations.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

     Our  finance  business  is  subject to numerous federal and state laws and
regulations, which, among other things, may:

     .     require   that   we   obtain   and  maintain  certain  licenses  and
           qualifications;

     .     limit the interest rates, fees and other charges that we are allowed
           to collect;

     .     limit or  prescribe  certain  other terms of our finance receivables
           arrangements with clients; and

     .     subject us to certain claims, defenses and rights of offset.

     Although  we  believe  that we are currently in compliance with applicable
statutes and regulations, we can not give any assurance that we will be able to
maintain such compliance without  incurring significant expense. The failure to
comply with such statutes and regulations  could have a material adverse effect
upon us. Also, the adoption of additional statutes  and regulations, changes in
the interpretation and enforcement of current statutes  and regulations, or the
expansion of our business into jurisdictions that have adopted  more  stringent
regulatory requirements than those in which we currently conduct business could
have a material adverse effect upon us.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MARKET

     Many factors  beyond  our  control  affect  the  demand  for our equipment
financing  services.   In   addition,  to  general   economic   conditions  and
fluctuations in supply and demand,  the  demand  for medical equipment may also
be  negatively  affected  by  reductions  in  reimbursement   amounts  paid  to
healthcare  providers  for their  services  from  third-party  payors  such  as
insurance  companies,  government  programs  and other healthcare providers and
increased use of managed healthcare  plans  that  often  restrict  the  use  of
certain  types  of  high technology medical equipment.  For the  quarter  ended
September 30,  1998, financing  for  purchases  of  magnetic  resonance imaging
machines, commonly referred to  as "MRI machines," accounted for  approximately
13% (by dollar volume) of the  total  loans  originated by us.  Any substantial

                                       9
<PAGE>
decrease in our loan originations  for  the  purchase  of  MRI  machines  could
have  a  material adverse effect on the Company.

COMPETITION

     The  business  of financing medical equipment is  highly  competitive.  We
compete with equipment manufacturers that sell and  finance sales of  their own
equipment, finance  subsidiaries  of national and regional commercial banks and
equipment  leasing  and  financing companies.  Many  of  our  competitors  have
significantly  greater  financial  and  marketing  resources  than  we  do.  In
addition, the competition  in the new markets recently targeted by our Company,
specifically  the  medical device  financing  market  and  medical  receivables
financing market, may  be  greater  than the levels of competition historically
experienced by us.

     We believe  that  increased  equipment  loan  originations during the past
three years  resulted, in part, from a decrease in the number of competitors in
the higher cost  medical equipment financing  market  and  our  high  level  of
penetration in this  market. We can not give any assurance that new competitive
providers of financing will not enter the medical equipment financing market in
the future. To meet our  long-term  growth  objectives,  we  must  increase our
presence  in  our  targeted markets for lower-cost medical devices and  medical
receivables financing  businesses.  To  achieve this goal we may be required to
reduce our margins to be competitive.

DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL

     Our ability to successfully continue our existing  financing  business, to
expand into targeted markets and to develop our  newer  businesses depends upon
our ability  to retain the  services  of key management personnel.  The loss of
any of  these  individuals   or an inability to attract and maintain additional
qualified personnel could adversely  affect  our  Company.  We can not give any
assurance that  we  will  be  able  to retain existing management  personnel or
attract additional qualified personnel.

ADVERSE EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS AND LEVERAGE

     We have substantial outstanding indebtedness and are highly leveraged.  As
of September 30, 1998, we (including our  consolidated  subsidiaries) had total
debt of $679.3 million, of which $414.5  million  was  full recourse  debt  and
$264.8 million  was limited recourse debt. Of the $679.3 million of total debt,
$456.5 million was  long-term  debt  and  $222.8  million was short-term  debt.
We  have  substantial  debt  service   requirements.  Our   ability   to  repay
indebtedness will depend upon future operating  performance.  Future  operating
performance  depends  upon   the  performance  of  our  loan   portfolio,   the
success of our business strategy,  prevailing  economic  conditions,  levels of
interest  rates  and financial,  business and  other  factors.   Many  of these
factors  are  beyond  our control.  The  degree  to  which we are leveraged may
also impair  our ability to obtain additional financing  on  acceptable  terms.
In addition, the  indenture  related  to  our  Senior Notes due 2004 restricts
our ability  to  obtain  non-warehouse  or  limited  recourse  debt  which  may
also  limit  our  ability  to refinance existing indebtedness.

ABILITY TO SERVICE DEBT; NEGATIVE CASH FLOWS AND CAPITAL NEED

     Although  we  believe  that  cash  available from operations and financing
activities will  be  sufficient to enable us to make required interest payments
on our debt, we can not  give  any  assurance that we will always be able to do
so. We may encounter liquidity problems  which could affect our ability to meet
our payment obligations while attempting to  withstand competitive pressures or
adverse economic conditions.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     We  expect  to  continue  to  operate  on  a  negative  cash flow basis as
the  volume  of  our  loan  purchases  and   originations  increases   and  our
securitization  program  grows.  Our  primary  cash  requirements  include  the
funding of:

     .     loan  originations  and  purchases  pending their securitization and
           sale;

     .     fees  and expenses incurred in connection with the securitization of
           loans;

     .     loan originations in connection with our new financing services, for
           which permanent sources of funding are still being developed;

     .     credit    enhancement    requirements   in   connection   with   the
           securitization   and  sale   of   the  loans,  which  include  cash 
           deposits, the  funding  of subordinated  tranches, and/or the pledge
           of additional  equipment  or  other  loans  that are funded with our
           capital;

     .     ongoing administrative and other operating expenses;

     .     interest  and  principal  payments  under  our  warehouse facilities
           and other indebtedness; and

     .     delinquent   accounts,   as  generally  required  by  the  terms  of
           securitizations.

     In the future, we expect our primary sources of liquidity  to  be existing
cash   fundings  under  our  warehouse  facilities,   sales  of  loans  through
securitizations  and other permanent fundings, new sources of permanent funding
which  are being  developed   for  loan  originations  in  connection  with our
new financing services,  the  net  proceeds  from the sale of further issuances
of debt or equity.

     We  believe  these   sources  will  be  sufficient  to  fund our liquidity
requirements  for  at  least  the  next   12   months  if our future operations
are  consistent   with  management's  current   growth  expectations.  However,
because  we  expect  to continue to  operate on  a  negative  cash  flow  basis
for the foreseeable future,  we  will  need to effect debt or equity financings
regularly.  The  type, timing  and   terms   of  financing  selected by us will
be  dependent upon our cash  needs,  the  availability   of   other   financing
sources and the prevailing conditions in the  financial  markets.   We can  not
give  any  assurance  that  any  of these sources  will  be  available  at  any
given time or that they will be available on favorable terms.

YEAR 2000 CONCERNS

     We believe, based on discussions  with  our  current systems vendors, that
our software applications and  operational  programs  will  properly  recognize
calendar dates  beginning  in  the  year 2000. We have completed an  assessment
of our hardware and software systems, as well as other systems such as security
systems and elevators. Based on these assessments, the only remediation that we
have  found  necessary  are  several software packages that need to be upgraded
through "off-the-shelf" releases. The upgrades will be applied during the first
quarter of calendar 1999 and testing  will  be  completed  shortly  thereafter.
Since  we  have no major investment in "custom" programming requiring extensive
reprogramming,  we  do  not  anticipate  the  need  to  hire year 2000 solution
providers or programmers to rewrite custom code at this time.

     The  software  upgrades  mentioned   above   are   part  of  our  standard
maintenance,  the  cost  of  which  is already covered by our ordinary software
contracts  and willnot  require  the  incurrence  of  any  additional  expense.
At  this time, we  anticipate that  our exposure to year 2000 compliance issues
will be minimal.

     Our medical receivables  finance  business  is dependent on the successful
receipt  of  receivables  from  third   party   payors  such  as  Medicare  and
Medicaid.  Any failure of third party payors to become year  2000 compliant may
result in the  inability to collect medical receivables in a timely  manner  or
at   all.   This  could  have   a  material  adverse  effect  on   our   medical

                                       11
<PAGE>
receivables   finance  business.   We  are  currently  unaware  of  any   other
relationships  with  third parties  which  will  have a material effect  on our
year 2000  issues.  However, we can not provide any assurance regarding a third
party's ability to become year 2000 compliant.

     We have  begun  to  identify  different  scenarios,  including  year  2000
readiness, that would cause  a  business  interruption.  Contingency  plans are
being developed to  resolve  the  most  reasonably  likely  scenarios. Based on
current  information,  we  believe  that   the  year  2000  issue will not pose
significant operational problems to us.


                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     The  Company  will receive no portion of  the  proceeds of the sale of the
shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus.


                              SELLING STOCKHOLDER

     Dominic  A.  Gugliemi, the Selling Stockholder,  acquired  the  shares  of
Common  Stock  offered  by  this  prospectus  (referred  to  as  the Shares) in
connection with  the Company's acquisition of MEF Corp. in January 1993.  Under
the terms of the  original  purchase  agreement,  the  Company acquired all the
outstanding  shares  of  MEF  Corp.  from   MEFC   Partners  L.P.,  a  Delaware
limited partnership  which  was  owned  or  controlled   by,  among  others, Mr.
Gugliemi, for a purchase  price that  was  payable  before October  15, 1998 in
cash or Common Stock, as elected  by the Company.  As initially structured, the
purchase price was to be determined as a percentage  of the after-tax  earnings
of  the  division  of  the  Company,  representing the former MEF Corp., during
the  sixty-six month period following the date of acquisition.  However, due to
the integration  of  former MEF Corp. personnel and business relationships into
the Company's business,  the  concept of  segregating the  earnings of the "MEF
Corp. Division"  as  contemplated by  the  original  purchase  agreement became
increasingly uncertain and impractical.  As  a  result, based  on  negotiations
between the Company and MEFC Partners, L.P.,  the  purchase  price of MEF Corp.
was  set  at  400,000  shares  of the Company's Common  Stock,  pursuant to the
terms of an amendment to the  original  purchase  agreement,  in  lieu  of  the
original purchase price.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     It  is anticipated that Mr. Gugliemi  will  offer his shares for  sale  at
the prices prevailing on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal market
on  which  their  shares are then  traded)  on  the date of sale.  Mr. Gugliemi
also  may   sell  his  shares   privately,  either directly to the purchaser or
through a broker  or brokers.  There are no arrangements or agreements with any
brokers  or  dealers  to  act  as  underwriters of Mr. Gugliemi's shares as  of
the date hereof.   All costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the
registration of these shares,  including,  but not limited to, all registration
and filing  fees,  printing   expenses   and  fees  (if  any) and disbursements
of the Company's counsel  and  accountants,  are being paid by the Company, but
all selling and other expenses incurred by Mr. Gugliemi will be paid by him.

    Mr. Gugliemi,  and  the  brokers  through  whom the sales of his shares are
made, may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of
the Securities  Act.  In addition, any profits realized by Mr. Gugliemi or such
brokers  on  the  sale  of  their  shares  may  be  deemed  to  be underwriting
commissions.  The   Company   has  agreed  to  indemnify  Mr.  Gugliemi and any
brokers  through  whom  sales  of  shares are made against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section  145(a)  of  the  General  Corporation  Law   of   the  State   of
Delaware,   referred   to   as  the  "General  Corporation  Law," provides,  in
general,  that  a  corporation  shall  have  power  to indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be  made a party   to   any   threatened,
pending or completed action,  suit  or   proceeding,  whether  civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation),  by reason  of  the  fact  that  he  is  or  was  a  director  or
officer of the corporation.   Such indemnity may be against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and  amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection  with such action, suit or proceeding, if the
indemnitee acted in good faith  and  in  a manner reasonably  believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests  of  the  corporation, and with respect to
any criminal action  or proceeding, the indemnitee must not have had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Section 145(b)  of  the  General  Corporation Law  provides,  in  general,
that a corporation shall have  power  to  indemnify  any  person  who was or is
a party or is threatened  to  be  made  a party  to  any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by  or  in  the  right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that  he  is  or  was a director or
officer  of  the  corporation  against  expenses  (including  attorney's  fees)
actually and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in  connection with the defense or
settlement of  such  action  or  suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he  reasonably  believed  to  be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation.

     Section 145(g) of the General Corporation Law  provides  in  general  that
a corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of
any  person  who  is  or was a director or officer of the  corporation  against
any liability asserted  against  and  incurred  by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his  status  as  such,  whether  or  not  the  corporation would
have  the  power  to  indemnify him against such liability under the provisions
of the law. 

     The  Company's  By-laws  require  the  Company  to  indemnify  each of its
directors,  officers  and  employees  to  the  fullest  extent permitted by law
in  connection  with  any  actual  or  threatened  action or proceeding arising
out   of  his  service  to  the  Company  or  to  other  organizations  at  the
Company's request.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder
and  any  brokers  through  whom  sales  of  Shares  are  made  against certain
liabilities,  including  liabilities  under  the Securities Act.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
     (1)     To   file,   during   any   period  in  which  offers or sales are
being made, a  post-effective   amendment   to   this registration statement to
include any  material information   with respect to the  plan  of  distribution
not previously disclosed  in  the  registration   statement  or  any   material
change in  the information set forth in the registration statement.

     (2)     That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each  such  post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to  the  securities  offered  therein,
and  the  offering  of  such securities at that time shall  be deemed to be the
initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

     (3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any  of  the  securities  being  registered which  remain at the termination of
the offering.

     The undersigned  registrant  hereby   undertakes   that,  for  purposes of
determining any liability under the  Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  that  is  incorporated by reference in the
registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be  a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at  that  time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

     Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and  controlling persons of
the registrant  pursuant  to  the registrant's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,
By-laws,  or otherwise,  the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is  against  public

                                       15
<PAGE>
policy  as  expressed  in   the Act and  is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment  by  the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or  controlling  person  of  the  registrant  in  the successful defense of any
action,   suit  or proceeding)  is  asserted   by  such  director,  officer  or
controlling  person  in connection  with  the   securities   being  registered,
the  registrant  will,  unless in  the  opinion  of  its counsel the matter has
been  settled   by  controlling  precedent, submit to a  court  of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the  question  whether such  indemnification  by  it  is  against
public policy as expressed in  the  Act  and  will  be  governed  by  the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re:Registration on Form S-3


Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have  acted  as  special  counsel for DVI, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the  "Company"),  in  connection  with a Registration  Statement on Form S-3
(the "Registration Statement"), filed  by  the  Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission")  for  registration  under the Securities
Act  of  1933,   as   amended   (the  "Securities  Act"), of 88,000 shares (the
"Offered Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.005 per share (the
"Common Stock"), to be offered from time to time by a stockholder (the "Selling
Stockholder") of the Company.

     In  rendering  the  opinion  expressed   herein,   we  have  examined  the
Registration  Statement  in  the  form  to  be  filed with the Commission on or
about  the  date  hereof.   In  addition, we have examined originals or copies,
certified  or  otherwise  identified  to  our  satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate  records   and   other  instruments  as  we  have  deemed  necessary,
including the  Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and the
corporate proceedings of the Company relating to the authorization and issuance
of  the  Offered Shares. As to the factual matters relevant to the opinions set
forth   below  we  have,  with  your  permission,  relied upon certificates  of
officers  of the Company and public officials.

     Based  upon  the  foregoing  and  on  such  examination of law as we  have
deemed necessary, we are of the  opinion  that  the Common  Stock has been duly
authorized  and  validly issued to the Selling  Stockholder by the Company and,
when  issued  and  sold by the Selling  Stockholder  in the manner described in
the  Registration  Statement,  will  be   validly  issued,  fully paid and non-
assessable.

     We  hereby  consent  to  the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an  exhibit  to  the   Registration  Statement  and to  the  reference  to this
firm under   the  caption  "Legal Matters"  in  the Prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we  do  not admit  that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities  Act,  or  the  Rules  and Regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder. 


Very truly yours,


/s/Rogers & Wells LLP
