                               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 Company
   completed business combinations with Orthonet, Inc. on February 28, 1996,
   Brennan, Martell and Mirmelli, M.D's, P.A. and Allergy & Asthma Institute of
   South Florida, P.A. on May 1, 1996 and Kidney Centers of Charleston, Inc. on
   May 1, 1996 in stock for stock exchanges or mergers with the Company.  Due to
   the materiality of these pooling transactions completed in 1996, the
   Company's historical results have been restated as if such combinations had
   been completed as of the beginning of 1995.

   The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
   with the Company's consolidated supplemental financial statements and the
   notes thereto included in the registrant's Form S-4 as filed on
   June 21, 1996 (File No. 333-06495).

   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 May 31, 1996, the Company acquired seventeen
   dialysis centers. Total consideration paid was $47.5 million, consisting of
   cash of $28.9 million and 662,761 shares of the Company's common stock, which
   exceeded the fair market value of net assets acquired by $29.0 million.

   Also during the three months ended May 31, 1996, the Company acquired nine
   specialty physician networks and practices. Total consideration paid was
   $30.3 million, consisting of cash of $9.1 million and 754,853 shares of the
   Company's common stock, which exceeded the fair market value of net assets
   acquired by $9.2 million.

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.

D. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES PRIVATE PLACEMENT

   On July 2, 1996, the Company completed a $150 million issuance of 5%
   Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2001 in a private placement.  
   The net proceeds from this private placement are approximately
   $146 million.

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

WHEN USED IN THIS DISCUSSION, THE WORDS "ESTIMATE," "PROJECT" AND SIMILAR
EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.  SUCH
STATEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE STATEMENTS CONCERNING CAPITAL AND ACQUISITION
EXPENDITURES, ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING THOSE
DISCUSSED IN THE RISK FACTORS SECTION OF THE COMPANY'S REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON
FORM S-4 FILED ON JUNE 21, 1996 (REGISTRATION NO. 333-06495) AND THOSE DISCUSSED
HEREIN WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO MATERIALLY DIFFER FROM THOSE
PROJECTED.  THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE HEREOF.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company provides services through Vivra Renal Care ("VRC") and Vivra
Specialty Partners ("VSP").  VRC is the second largest provider of dialysis
services in the United States.  VSP provides specialty physician network and 
disease management services to entities responsible for coordinating health care
for a patient population, principally managed care organizations.  VSP 
coordinates care in multiple specialties, including asthma/allergy, cardiology,
diabetes, dialysis/nephrology, otolaryngology ("ENT"), obstetrics/gynecology 
("OB/GYN") and orthopedics.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995
As compared to the three months ended May 31, 1995, revenues increased $26.2
million, or 27.3%; costs and expenses increased $22.7 million, or 28.5%; and
earnings from continuing operations before taxes increased $3.7 million, or
22.9%.  In total, net earnings for the period increased $2.4 million to $12.4
million, or 24.2%.

     Operating revenues increased $27.6 million, or 29.9%, to $120.2 million.
Revenues from VRC increased $24.2 million to $100.4 million, or 31.8%; VSP
increased $13.4 million to $19.8 million; and Other Services decreased $10.0
million.  The increase in revenues from VRC 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 27.0% from 378,622 to 480,948 as a result of the net addition of
51 centers.  For the second quarter of 1996, revenues from EPO were $20.5
million, compared to $12.8 million in the prior year, a 60.2% 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 VSP was due to the
addition of the OB/GYN and orthopedics specialties after the second quarter of
1995 and growth in the cardiology and asthma/allergy specialties.  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 primary
care physician practice management businesses in 1995.  Other income of $2.2
million, included interest earned on tax-free marketable securities and a $1.3
million gain from the sale of available-for-sale marketable investments.

     Operating costs increased $21.8 million, or 34.8%, to $84.2 million.  VRC
operating costs increased $15.5 million to $67.5 million, or 29.9%; VSP
increased $13.1 million to $16.7 million; and Other Services decreased $6.8
million.  The increase in VRC 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.  VSP operating costs
increased due to the addition and growth of the OB/GYN and orthopedics 
specialties after the second quarter of 1995 and growth in the cardiology and
asthma/allergy specialties.  Operating costs of  Other Services decreased as a
result of the sale of the ambulatory surgery, rehabilitation therapy and primary
care physician practice management businesses in 1995.  General and
administrative expenses increased $0.3 million to $14.6 million, or an increase
of 2.2%. Depreciation increased $0.7 million, or 24.4%, to $3.4 million, due to
an increase in depreciable assets of the dialysis and asthma/allergy businesses.


                                  Page 7 of 14

<PAGE>

     The effective tax rate for the period was 38.3% of earnings before income
taxes, compared with 39.0% 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.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995
As compared to the six months ended May 31, 1995, revenues increased $46.8
million, or 25.5%; costs and expenses $39.5 million, or 25.8%; and earnings from
continuing operations before taxes increased $7.5 million, or 24.7%.  In total,
net earnings for the period increased $4.9 million to $23.6 million, or 26.5%.

     Operating revenues increased $47.0 million, or 26.2%, to $226.8 million.
Revenues from VRC increased $41.9 million to $189.7 million, or 28.4%; VSP
increased $25.2 million to $37.1 million; and Other Services decreased $20.1
million.  The increase in revenues from VRC 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 28.4% from 719,032 to 922,925 as a result of the increase in
dialysis centers from 178 to 229.  For the first six months of 1996, revenues
from EPO were $38.6 million, compared to $24.4 million in the prior year, a
58.2% 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
VSP was due to the addition and growth of the OB/GYN, cardiology and orthopedics
specialties after the second quarter of 1995 and growth in the asthma/allergy
specialty.  The decrease in Other Services revenues was a direct result of the
sale and discontinuation of the Company's ambulatory surgery, rehabilitation
therapy and primary care physician practice management businesses
in 1995.  Other income of $4.0 million, included interest earned on tax-free
marketable securities and  $2.0 million in gains from the sale of
available-for-sale marketable investments.

     Operating costs increased $39.9 million, or 33.0%, to $160.9 million.  VRC
operating costs increased $29.6 million to $129.4 million, or 29.7%; VSP
increased $23.7 million to $31.5 million; and Other Services decreased $13.4
million.  The increase in VRC 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.  VSP operating costs
increased due to the addition and growth of the OB/GYN, cardiology and
orthopedics specialties after the second quarter of 1995 and growth in the
asthma/allergy specialty.  Operating costs of  Other Services decreased as a
result of the sale of the ambulatory surgery, rehabilitation therapy and primary
care physician practice management businesses in 1995.  General and
administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million to $25.2 million, or a 5.8%
decrease.  General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of the sale
and discontinuation of the Other Services segment businesses.  The businesses
incurred $6.3 million during the first six months of 1995.  Depreciation
increased $1.3 million, or 26.1%, to $6.5 million, due to an increase in
depreciable assets of the dialysis and asthma/allergy businesses.

     The effective tax rate for the period was 38.1% of earnings before income
taxes, compared with 39.0% 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 significant capital for the acquisition and development of
dialysis facilities and specialty care businesses and on-going capital
expenditures for property, plant and equipment.  Acquisition expenditures were
$98.3 million, consisting of $38.4 million in cash and 2,006,613 shares of the
Company's Common Stock and $40.8 million, consisting of $30.1 million in cash
and 500,232 shares of the Company's Common Stock for the six months ended May
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Routine capital expenditures were $13.4
million and $12.0 million for the same periods, respectively.

     Cash flow from operations was $12.4 million and $8.1 million for the six
months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cash flow from financing
activities decreased by $63.8 million to $3.3 million at May 31, 1996.  This
decrease was primarily the result of the Company's February 16, 1995 public
offering

                                  Page 8 of 14

<PAGE>

in which the Company sold 2,992,500 shares of Common Stock and received net
proceeds of $59.6 million.

     For the remainder of fiscal 1996, the Company currently plans to continue
to acquire and develop new dialysis facilities and expand its specialty
businesses.  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 the net
proceeds from its July 1996 Convertible Subordinated Notes Private Placement
together with cash generated from operations, available cash and the ability to
issue Common Stock for acquisitions will be adequate to meet the Company's
planned capital expenditure, acquisition and development and liquidity needs
through fiscal 1997.

INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES
Approximately 71% 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 six months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Despite
periods of significant inflation, the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rate
has remained relatively constant since 1983. The Company is unable to predict
what, if any, future changes may occur in the reimbursement rate and, if made,
whether such changes will help alleviate or increase inflationary pressures on
the Company's margins.

    The balance of dialysis revenues, 29% in 1996 and 1995, are paid at rates 
significantly in excess of Medicare and Medicaid, 29% in 1996 and 1995.  Of 
these revenues, the largest portion came from private insurance, including 
managed care organizations.  Reimbursement from hospitals for acute dialysis 
treatments was also significant.  In general, these sources of reimbursement are
at rates significantly in excess of Medicare and Medicaid rates.  The Company 
believes that private payers may be required in the future to assume a greater 
percentage of the costs of dialysis care as the existing ESRD program is 
reviewed by the United States Congress.  Irrespective of legislative action, the
Company expects that these non-governmental payers will reduce payment for 
dialysis services.  In addition, as managed care organizations expand, they will
have a strong incentive to further reduce the costs of specialty care and will 
aggressively seek to reduce amounts paid for dialysis treatments.  If private 
payer rates are reduced significantly, the Company's revenues and net earnings
will be materially and adversely affected.

   The dialysis industry is highly competitive with respect to the acquisition
of existing dialysis facilities and the recruitment of Medical Directors for new
centers.  In the past two years, acquisition prices and the competition for
Medical Directors and new facilities have increased.  To the extent that the
Company is unable to acquire existing dialysis facilities economically, to
develop facilities profitably or to recruit Medical Directors to operate its
facilities, its ability to expand its dialysis business and maintain earnings
per share growth and return on total capital would be adversely impacted.

   The Company intends to expand VSP significantly through the acquisition and
development of related businesses, primarily specialty physician networks and
practices.  This expansion will require significant capital commitments.  The
Company is incurring expenditures to develop its infrastructure and systems for
VSP in anticipation of significant growth.  VSP may not realize revenue and
operating margins as predictable as those historically provided by VRC.
