Board of Directors and Shareholders
National Quality Care, Inc.



We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of National Quality
Care, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the three and six month periods then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of National Quality
Care, Inc. management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of National Quality Care, Inc. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended not
presented herein; and in our report dated March 14, 2000, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1999, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair

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

         OVERVIEW OF PRESENTATION. Since approximately May 1996, the focus of
the Company's principal business operation has been to provide high-quality

subsidiary, Los Angeles Community Dialysis, Inc. For purposes of clarity in this
section, the term "Company" reflects the financial condition and results of
operations of Los Angeles Community Dialysis, Inc. and the combined operations
of the parent holding company and Los Angeles Community Dialysis, Inc.

         This report, including the disclosures below, contains certain
forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and/or uncertainties.
When used herein, the terms "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "believes"
and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual
results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2000 increased approximately 4% to $1,181,071 from $1,136,315 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000, total revenue
increased approximately 4% to $2,222,092 from $2,128,694 for the first six
months of 1999. Medical service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased approximately 4% to $1,113,146 from $1,068,030 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000 medical service revenue
increased approximately 5% to $2,086,242 from $1,992,844 for the first six
months of 1999. This increase resulted from growth in the inpatient and
outpatient business of the Company.

         Total operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased 2% to $1,090,578 from $1,070,045 during the three months ended June
30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000, total operating expenses increased
3% to $2,038,868 from $1,982,165 for the first six months of 1999. Total
operating expenses include (i) Cost of medical services, (ii) Selling, general
and administrative expenses, and (iii) Property rental expense, as follows:

         Cost of medical services during the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased 6% to $774,163 from $728,211 during the three months ended June 30,
1999. For the first six months of 2000, cost of medical services increased 7% to
$1,461,949 from $1,360,586 for the first six months of 1999. Cost of medical
services primarily consists of two (2) categories: (i) Medical services and
supplies, and (ii) Outside services. Medical services and supplies for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 increased approximately 5% to $640,582 from $609,169
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000,
Medical services and supplies increased 8% to $1,233,043 from $1,145,662 for the
first six months of 1999. The increase was primarily due to rising usage of
medical supplies prescribed, resulting from increased business volume. Outside
services for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased 12% to $133,581 from
$119,042 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. For the first six months of
2000, outside services increased 7% to $228,906 from $214,924 for the first six
months of 1999. This increase was directly attributable to the increased volume
of inpatient services.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 decreased 9% to $261,880 from $288,714 during the three
months ended June 30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000, selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased 11% to $471,219 from $526,635 for the
first six months of 1999. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in
administrative payroll of $63,600 and professional fees of $39,800 offset by an
increase in facility rent of $4,600, increase in computer hardware and services,
in connection with the Company's upgrade of its billing system, of $8,200 and
miscellaneous expenses of $36,451.

         Depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased 8% to $66,720 from $61,732 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase in expenses is a result of capitalized medical equipment leases.

         Other expenses increased from $55,083 to $67,945 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. Other expenses increased during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $136,457 from $115,630 during the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

         The Company realized extraordinary income of $85,462 arising from an
agreement with a former medical supplier to extinguish outstanding debt.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated net income of
$108,010 during the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to a net
income of $9,587 during the three months ended June 30, 1999. For the first six
months of 2000, the Company experienced net income of $130,629, as compared to
net income of $29,299 for the first six months of 1999. The Company experienced
income from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2000 of $90,493
compared to an income from operations of $66,270 during the three months ended
June 30, 1999. For the first six months of 2000, the Company experienced income
from operations of $183,224 compared to an income from operations of $146,529
for the first six months of 1999. Management believes that income from
operations primarily resulted from an increase in inpatient and outpatient
services and from the streamlining of operations.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards totaling approximately $5,000,000 and $700,000 for federal and
state income tax purposes, respectively. The Federal net operating loss
carryforwards include $3,700,000 which are limited by IRC Section 382; however,
such annual limitations have not been determined.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. At June 30, 2000, the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was .65 to 1.00 compared to .61 to 1.00 at

         As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a note receivable including
accrued interest in the amount of $59,318 from Medipace Medical Group, Inc., an
affiliate of two of the Company's four (4) directors and largest stockholders,
bearing interest at the rate of 8% PER ANNUM, and a lease receivable of $66,907
from the same group.

         In the second quarter of 1999, a lease receivable from an affiliate was
entered into which reduced an existing note from the affiliate for a like
amount. The Company received $75,000 in consideration for a lease payable for
the same amount. Both leases are identical in terms. These leases are classified
as capital leases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." For accounting purposes, the Company has
treated this transaction as a financing arrangement. Payments are due in
installments through March 2004. Medipace has been in default on its payment to
the Company since October 1999.

         The Company has two non-interest bearing notes resulting from the sale
of property and equipment to a former affiliate in 1996. The notes, secured by
570,000 shares of the Company's common stock were due but not paid in February
2000. The notes were further extended through February 2001. The Company has
provided for a valuation allowance of $719,000 against the note. The note has
been recorded as an offset to stockholders' equity.

         The Company's current business plan includes a strategy to expand as a
provider of dialysis services through the development of new dialysis facilities
and the acquisition of additional facilities and other strategically related
health care services in selected markets. The market for such acquisition
prospects is highly competitive and management expects that certain potential
acquirers will have significantly greater capital than the Company.
