                            VIVRA INCORPORATED
            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited pursuant to
     the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
     financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
     presented have been made and are of a normal recurring nature.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the
     notes thereto included in the registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended November 30, 1995.

     The balance sheet at November 30, 1995 has been derived from the audited
     financial statements at that date.

B.   ACQUISITIONS

     During the three months ended February 29, 1996, the Company acquired three
     dialysis centers. Total consideration paid was $6.4 million, consisting of
     cash of $2.5 million and 154,037 shares of the Company's common stock,
     which exceeded the fair market value of net assets acquired by $2.4
     million.

     Also during the three months ended February 29, 1996, the Company acquired
     four physician practices and an orthopedics network. Total consideration
     paid was $12.3 million, consisting of cash of $0.5 million and 431,382
     shares of the Company's common stock, which exceeded the fair market value
     of net assets acquired by $0.7 million.

     The acquisition of two dialysis centers, three physician practices and the
     orthopedics network have been accounted for as pooling of interests.
     Consolidated financial statements for the prior periods to the exchanges
     have not been restated as the effect of the poolings were not material to
     the Company. The remaining acquisitions have been accounted for as
     purchases and, accordingly, have been included in the statement of earnings
     since their dates of acquisition.

C.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Effective March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND
     FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF ("FAS 121"), which requires
     impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations,
     or to be disposed of, when such impairment has been determined.  On
     December 1, 1995, the Company adopted FAS 121 and the impact of this
     adoption did not have a material effect on the Company.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
          FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company consists of two operating units, Vivra Renal Care and Vivra
Specialty Partners.  Vivra Renal Care consists of dialysis and specialty
pharmacy services.  Vivra Specialty Partners provides specialty care through its
networks and practices in Asthma/Allergy, Cardiology, Diabetes, ENT, OB-
GYN and Orthopedics.  During 1995, the Company sold and discontinued its Other
Services segment,  which consisted of the ambulatory surgery, rehabilitation
therapy and primary care physician practice management businesses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996
As compared to the three months ended February 28, 1995, revenues increased
$20.6 million, or 24.5%; costs and expenses $16.8 million, or 24.0%; and
earnings from continuing operations before taxes $3.8 million, or 27.2%.  In
total, net earnings for the period increased $2.6 million to $11.1 million, or
30.8%.

     Of the increase in revenues, operating revenues increased $19.4 million,
23.3%, to $102.6 million.  Revenues from Vivra Renal Care increased $17.7
million to $87.5 million, or 25.4%; Vivra Specialty Partners increased $11.8
million to $15.1 million; and Other Services decreased $10.1 million.  The
increase in revenues from Vivra Renal Care was attributable to the growth in the
number of treatments provided and growth in the administration of the drug
Erythropoietin ("EPO"), prescribed for dialysis patients suffering from anemia.
Treatments grew 30.2% from 331,948 to 432,326 as a result of the net addition of
47 centers.  For the first quarter of 1996, revenues from EPO were $18.1
million, compared to $11.6 million in the prior year, a 55.4% increase.  This
growth was due to an increase in the number of patients receiving EPO and in the
average size of dosages.  The increase in revenues from Vivra Specialty Partners
was due to the addition of the OB/GYN, cardiology and orthopedics products after
the first quarter of 1995 and growth in the asthma/allergy product.  The
decrease in Other Services revenues was a direct result of the sale and
discontinuation of the Company s ambulatory surgery center, rehabilitation
therapy and physician practice management businesses in 1995.  Other income of
$1.8 million, included interest earned on tax-free marketable securities and a
gain from the sale of available-for-sale marketable investments.

     Of the increase in costs and expenses, operating costs increased $18.1
million, or 32.5%, to $73.6 million.  Vivra Renal Care operating costs increased
$14.0 million to $60.4 million, or 30.2%; Vivra Specialty Partners increased
$10.6 million to $13.2 million; and Other Services decreased $6.5 million.  The
increase in Vivra Renal Care operating costs was due to the increased volume of
dialysis business, expenses associated with the operation of newly developed
dialysis centers and the cost of the administration of EPO.  Vivra Specialty
Partners operating costs increased due to the addition of the OB/GYN, cardiology
and orthopedics products after the first quarter of 1995 and growth in the
asthma/allergy product.  Operating costs of  Other Services decreased as a
result of the sale of the ambulatory surgery, rehabilitation therapy and
physician practice management businesses in 1995.  General and administrative
expenses decreased $1.8 million to $10.0 million, or a decrease of 15.3%.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of sale and
discontinuation of the Other Services segment businesses.  These businesses
incurred $3.4 million in general and administrative expenses during the first
quarter of 1995.  Depreciation increased $0.7 million, or 28.7%, to $3.1
million, due to an increase in depreciable assets of the dialysis and
asthma/allergy businesses.

     The effective tax rate for the period was 37.8% of earnings before income
taxes, compared with 39.5% a year earlier.  This decrease was due, in large
part, to the Company s cash assets being invested in tax-free marketable
securities, which had the effect of lowering the overall tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company requires capital for the acquisition and development of dialysis
facilities, including the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and the
acquisition and development of its new specialty products.  Acquisition
expenditures were $18.7 million, consisting of $3.0 million in cash and 585,419
shares of the Company s Common Stock and $15.6 million in cash for the periods
ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995, respectively.  Routine capital
expenditures were $8.2 million and $4.5 million for the same periods,
respectively.

     Cash flow from operations was $16.5 million and $10.2 million for the three
months ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995, respectively.  Cash flow
from financing activities decreased by $59.6 million to $2.0 million at February
29, 1996.  This decrease was primarily the result of the Company s February 16,
1995 public offering in which the Company sold 2,992,500 shares of Common Stock
and received net proceeds of $59.6 million.  The Company s working capital
increased by $7.1 million to $138.1 million at February 29, 1996, from $131.0
million at November 30, 1995.

     For the remainder of fiscal 1996, the Company currently plans to continue
to acquire and develop new dialysis facilities and expand its specialty network
products.  The Company expects that its capital and acquisition expenditures for
fiscal 1996 will exceed expenditures for fiscal 1995.  To the extent the Company
is able to identify significant attractive investment opportunities, such
expenditures could exceed $150 million.  The Company believes that cash
generated from operations together with available cash, the ability to issue
Common Stock for acquisitions and issue debt or equity capital will be adequate
to meet the Company s planned capital expenditure, acquisition and development
and liquidity needs for fiscal 1996.

INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES

Approximately 71% and 70% of the Company s dialysis revenues were funded by
Medicare and Medicaid, at an average rate of $126 per dialysis treatment, before
ancillary services for the three months ended February 29, 1996 and February 28,
1995, respectively. Despite periods of significant inflation, the Medicare and
Medicaid reimbursement rate has remained relatively constant since 1983. The
balance of dialysis revenues, which are paid at rates significantly in excess of
Medicare and Medicaid, represented 29% of revenues in 1996 compared to 30% in
1995.  The Company is unable to predict what, if any, future changes may occur
in the reimbursement rate or the ability of the Company to charge rates in
excess of those paid by Medicare and Medicaid.  If any such changes occur, the
impact of such changes on the Company s revenues and profits could be material.

   Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition ("IDPN") therapy is a nutritional
supplement administered during dialysis to patients suffering from nutritional
deficiencies.  In early 1993, HCFA designated four durable medical equipment
regional carriers (the "DMERCs") to process reimbursement claims for IDPN
therapy.  To date these DMERCs have denied most claims and the Company is
currently appealing these denied claims.  HCFA is currently reviewing the DMERCs
position with respect to medical policy and claims reimbursement.  The final
outcome of this review is uncertain and may ultimately affect the number of
patients eligible to receive reimbursement for IDPN therapy.  Patients receiving
IDPN therapy prior to the designation of the DMERCs are "grandfathered" under
the prior carriers medical policies and continue to be eligible for
reimbursement.  Since May 1995 and based upon the continued uncertainty with
respect to reimbursement for services provided, the Company has limited
administration of this therapy to patients who have been "grandfathered" or have
private insurance.
