    The Company was a co-defendant, along with American Securities Transfer,
Incorporated ("AST"), the Company's transfer agent, in a law suit filed by
Carolyn K. Combs and Medica Financial Corp. ("Combs and Medica"), Case No. 93 CV
23 in the District Court, County of Rio Grande, State of Colorado (Carolyn K.

$11,437.62, which was paid in full. The amount due and owing to Medica in the

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

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report.

    The Company's primary source of revenue is outpatient kidney dialysis
services through a dialysis center and inpatient services contracted with local
hospitals through a visiting nurse program. These services were in operation for
the entire period reported.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

    Revenues in the third quarter of 1996 increased to $814,095 from $709,843
in the third quarter of 1995. For the first nine months of 1996 revenues
increased approximately 23% to $2,364,052 from $1,927,290 for the same period of
1995. This increase is primarily the result of higher inpatient and home care.



                                          10

<PAGE>

    Medical supplies in the third quarter of 1996 were $245,522 compared with
$187,061 in the third quarter of 1995. For the first nine months of 1996 cost of
medical supplies increased approximately 35% to $576,676 from $426,677 for the
same period of 1995. The increase is due to rising usage of medical supplies
prescribed which in turn resulted in higher revenues.

    Outside services expenses in the third quarter of 1996 were $60,917
compared with $56,871 in the third quarter of 1995. For the first nine months of
1996 outside services increased approximately 33% to $212,650 from $159,589 for
the same period of 1995. The primary increase was directly attributed to the
rise of inpatient services.

    General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1996 were
$120,562 compared with $12,112 in the third quarter of 1995. For the first nine
months of 1996 General and administrative services were $366,773 compared with
$44,201 in the first nine months of 1995. The increase is directly related to
requisite professional fees incurred after the stock exchange of May 11, 1996.

    Interest expense in the third quarter of 1996 was $16,512 as compared with
$14,521 in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of 1996 Interest
expense was $21,240 compared with $43,561 in the first nine months of 1995. The
decrease is a result of extinguishment of debt as the result of the stock
exchange of May 11, 1996.

    Merger costs in the first quarter of 1996 of $275,000 represent
professional fees related to the stock exchange of May 11, 1996.

    Assets disposition costs of $46,478 in the third quarter of 1996 represent
professional fees related to the sale of property, plant and equipment as
referenced in Note 4.

    As a result of the foregoing, the third quarter reflects income of $45,225
as compared with net income of $244,753 in the third quarter of 1995. For the
first nine months of 1996 net income was $80,391 as compared with net income of
$608,502 in 1995.

    The proforma and historical representation of net income reflects activity
of Los Angeles Community Dialysis (predecessor) before the stock exchange of May
11, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At September 30, 1996, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities
was .47 to 1.00 compared to .21 to 1.00 at December 31, 1995. The inventory
consists of bags and packaging supplies which will be purchased by SPC as they
are used and medical 


                                          11

<PAGE>

supplies and medications. The Company has historically financed its 
operations through the use of working capital and loans to the Company.

    As of September 30, 1996 the Company had long-term borrowings in the
aggregate amount of $1,847,232, the current portion of which was $198,312. The
long-term debt was substantially utilized to purchase the real property located
at 6000 San Vicente Boulevard and is secured by deed of trust on said property.
The remainder comprises debt carry forward from the Company's former potato
warehouse operations.The Company reduced its long-term and short-term borrowings
by approximately $48,000 and $51,000, respectively, during the third quarter of
1996. The reduction in debt was serviced through a use of working capital.

    As of October 18, 1996, the Company completed the sale of certain real
estate and other assets related to the operation of a potato warehouse (the
"Warehouse Assets") in Monte Vista, Colorado to certain former affiliates of the
Company for the purchase price of approximately $1,415,000. The purchase price
was paid in the form of $550,000 in cash and promissory notes in the amounts of
$250,000 and approximately $615,000 (subject to certain adjustments), due and
payable on or before December 15, 1996. The obligations owing to the Company are
non-recourse to the obligors, but are secured by 648,206 shares of common stock
of the Company which are held in escrow.

    There can be no assurances that the escrowed shares, if liquidated, will be
sold for an amount at least equal to the remaining obligation, and if not, the
Company will not be able to recover the balance of the remaining obligation
owing to the Company.

    In connection with the sale of the Warehouse Assets, the Company paid
certain obligations which were secured by the Warehouse Assets, including John
B. Milne ($225,520.84), Combs  and Medica ($12,487.90), and Orion Corporate
Funding Inc., ("Orion") an affiliate of Douglas Nutt, ($188,312.51). The
payments resulted in a reduction of approximately $315,000 in short-term
borrowing. The Company also loaned the sum of $66,811.76 to Medipace Medical
Group, Inc. ("Medipace"), an affiliate of each of the Company's three (3)
directors and largest stockholders, which is the subject of a demand promissory
note payable by Medipace bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

    Further, the Company agreed to pay to Orion, the amount of approximately
$183,000, on or before January 15, 1997. The amount owing to Orion is secured by
the accounts receivable of the Company, and the subject of a limited guaranty by
Dr. Gura. The Company also has extended its promissory note in the amount of
$200,000 payable to Aegis Medical Systems, Inc. ("Aegis") to


                                          12

<PAGE>

December 15, 1996. The failure of the Company to pay such obligations in a
timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
the Company.

    Except for the payment of the two (2) promissory notes, management believes
that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to service cash requirements
for the foreseeable future.

    The Company plans to acquire additional dialysis centers through purchase
and joint venture with physician groups. The Company currently experiences
profitable operations and positive cash flow. However, the Company does not
currently generate sufficient cash flow to finance any such expansion plans and
may not be able to repay the two (2) promissory notes in the aggregate amount of
$383,000 in full in a timely manner from current cash flow. In order to finance
any such expansion plans, the Company will require financing from external
sources and may require external financing in order to repay the promissory
notes. The Company does not have any commitment for such financing and there can
be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain any such financing on
terms favorable to the Company or at all.
