                    CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING
                      FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

   
     This prospectus  includes  forward-looking statements. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our  current  expectations  and projections about
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
to risks, uncertainties, and  assumptions  about  the Company, including, among
other things:
    

     .          material  adverse  changes  in  economic   conditions   in  the
           geographic areas where we finance equipment;

     .          the possibility that difficulties may arise in integrating  the
           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-

                             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.

   
TO FUND OUR BUSINESS  WE  DEPEND  ON WAREHOUSE FINANCING TO MEET OUR SHORT-TERM
NEED FOR FUNDS AND OUR SECURITIZATION  PROGRAM  TO  MEET OUR LONG-TERM NEED FOR
FUNDS.  THESE FINANCING OPTIONS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US IN THE FUTURE.
    

     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
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.

   
OUR RESULTS DEPEND UPON THE RATE  AT  WHICH  OUR  CUSTOMERS  MAKE THE SCHEDULED
PAYMENTS  ON  THEIR  EQUIPMENT  LEASES  AND DO NOT DEFAULT.  A HIGHER  RATE  OF
DEFAULT THAN WE PREDICT COULD HURT OUR BUSINESS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.

                                      2
<PAGE>
     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:
    

     .          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.

   
AS  A  BUSINESS  THAT BORROWS AND LOANS MONEY, FLUCTUATING INTEREST  RATES  CAN
INCREASE THE COST  OF  OUR  BORROWINGS,  CAUSE  US  TO INCUR COSTS TO LIMIT OUR
INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE AND MAKE OUR LOANS LESS ATTRACTIVE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
    

     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

                                      3
<PAGE>
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:

     .          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.

   
WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR OPERATIONS RECENTLY AND WE CANNOT BE  SURE  WE  CAN MANAGE
THE EXPANSION PROFITABLY.
    

     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.

   
TWO  OF OUR CUSTOMERS ACCOUNT FOR OVER 10% OF OUR BUSINESS.  THE LOSS OF  THESE
CUSTOMERS WOULD HURT OUR RESULTS.
    

     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.

   
A  SUBSTANTIAL PART OF OUR LOANS  ARE  ORIGINATED  OUTSIDE  THE  UNITED  STATES
SUBJECTING  OUR  REVENUE  TO  THE  RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING
FOREIGN CURRENCIES.
    

     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

                                      4
<PAGE>
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.

     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.

THERE   ARE  CERTAIN  RISKS  RELATED  TO  THE  BUSINESS  OF  FINANCING  MEDICAL
RECEIVABLES,  SUCH  AS  EVALUATING  THE QUALITY OF RECEIVABLES AND SECURING OUR
RIGHTS TO AND COLLECTING PAYMENT OF OUR RECEIVABLES.
    

     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.

                                      5
<PAGE>
     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.

   
     .          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.

   
WE ARE SUBJECT TO COMPLICATED GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS WITH  WHICH  WE COULD FAIL
TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLY.
    

     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

                                      6
<PAGE>
regulatory requirements than those in which we currently conduct business could
have a material adverse effect upon us.

   
OUR RESULTS DEPEND ON THE DEMAND FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

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

WE COMPETE WITH EQUIPMENT  MANUFACTURERS  AND  A  VARIETY  OF  OTHER  FINANCING
SOURCES FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
    

     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.

   
WE DEPEND ON OUR 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.

   
WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT  OF  INDEBTEDNESS  THAT  MAY  LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO
BORROW MORE FUNDS TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.
    

     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.

                                      7
<PAGE>
   
OUR INDEBTEDNESS REQUIRES SIZEABLE INTEREST PAYMENTS.  WE OPERATE ON A NEGATIVE
CASH  FLOW  BASIS.   AS  A  RESULT,  WE HAVE A CONTINUING SUBSTANTIAL NEED  FOR
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.
    

     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.

     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.

THERE IS A RISK THAT  THE  YEAR  2000  PROBLEM WILL AFFECT THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS
UPON WHICH WE RELY.

     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  will not require the incurrence of any additional  expense.  At
this time, we anticipate  that our exposure to year 2000 compliance issues will
be minimal.

                                      8
<PAGE>
   
     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 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.

                              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.

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

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

     .          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.

                            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 STOCKHOLDERS

     The Selling Stockholders listed in the chart  below 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  the  Selling Stockholders 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.

     The table below sets forth  with  respect to each Selling Stockholder: (1)
his  or  her  affiliation  or former affiliation  with  the  Company,  (2)  the
aggregate number of shares of  Common  Stock  owned  by him or her prior to the
offering made by this prospectus; (3) the maximum number  of  shares that he or
she  may  offer  and  sell pursuant to this prospectus; and (4) the  number  of
shares (and percentage  of the outstanding shares) of Common Stock owned by him
or her after the offering  made by this prospectus.  A portion of the shares of
Common Stock described under (2) above and the shares of Common Stock described
under (4) above may not be offered or sold pursuant to this prospectus.

(1)  As of October 15, 1998, included  143,333 shares of Common Stock which Mr.
     O'Hanlon may purchase on the exercise of stock options and 1,675 shares of
     Common Stock held through the Employee Savings Plan.
    

                                    PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

   
     It  is  anticipated  that  each  Selling Stockholder will offer his or her
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.   Each  Selling  Stockholder  also  may sell his or her 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 the 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  each  Selling
Stockholder will be paid by him or her.

     Each Selling Stockholder, and the brokers through whom the sales of his or
her 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 a
Selling Stockholder or such brokers on the sale of their shares  may  be deemed
to  be  underwriting  commissions.   The  Company  has  agreed to indemnify the
Selling  Stockholders  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
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

                                     II-2
<PAGE>
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.

registrant  certifies  that  it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing  on  Form  S-3  and  has  duly  caused  this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
