NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Pursuant to such
rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in the audited
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in that report.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
During the first nine months of 1999, the Company paid $600,000 for the
achievement of certain earnout provisions based on profitability relating to the
acquisition in December 1997 of an acute dialysis and hemapheresis services
company. Such amount has been added to goodwill.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In the computation
of diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding is adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential common stock.
In computing diluted earnings per share, the Company has utilized the treasury
stock method.
A reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of the basic and
diluted earnings per share computation for net income is as follows for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999:

(4) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
In 1998 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. The
Company's net income for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1999 equals comprehensive income for the same periods.
(5) OPERATING SEGMENTS:
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for reporting information about a Company's operating
segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas
of operations and major customers. Renex currently operates under one segment.
The manner in which the Company has presented information throughout its
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" is consistent with the manner in which the Company's management
views and analyzes the business.
(6) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM:
In November 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share
repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of
common stock on the open market from time to time at prices acceptable to the
Company. In April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock bringing the
total share repurchase program to 1,000,000 shares. As of September 30, 1999,
the Company had repurchased 609,400 shares of Renex common stock at a cost of
approximately $2.5 million.
(7) RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
The Company, operating through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a high
quality provider of dialysis and ancillary services to patients with end-stage
renal disease ("ESRD"), as well as acute dialysis services to patients in
hospitals. Since inception, the Company has implemented an aggressive growth
strategy designed to build its presence in selected regional markets by
establishing local clusters of dialysis facilities through new facility ("de
novo") development or the acquisition of existing facilities. To date, the
Company has grown primarily through de novo development because the Company
believes such a strategy minimizes the initial capital outlay. However, de novo
facilities achieve profitability only when they reach sufficient utilization,
which typically does not occur prior to twelve months following opening. The
Company has increased overall facility utilization from 41% at December 31, 1994
to 69% at September 30, 1999 primarily through marketing efforts directed at
local nephrologists, patients and managed care organizations.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company operated 20 outpatient dialysis
facilities, of which eleven were de novo facilities opened between 1994 and
1998. In addition, from 1995 through 1998 the Company acquired via the purchase
of stock or assets, nine dialysis facilities. The Company also manages a home
hemodialysis program and provides acute dialysis and hemapheresis treatments to
20 hospitals through contractual arrangements with these hospitals.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth certain income statement items expressed as a
percentage of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1999:

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999
were $13.1 million compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 1998,
representing an increase of 28.7%. The increase in net revenues of $2.9 million
was primarily attributable to $1.2 million from one facility which opened during
August 1998 and $1.7 million from the continued growth at existing facilities,
along with increased net revenues per treatment primarily due to increased
erythropoietin ("EPO") dosages and continued favorable adjustments arising from
cash receipts.
FACILITIES EXPENSES. Facilities expenses primarily consist of costs and
expenses specifically attributable to the operation of the dialysis facilities,
including operating and maintenance costs of such facilities and all labor,
supplies and service costs related to patient care. Facilities expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 were $9.1 million compared to $7.4 million
for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of 23.2%. The increase in
facilities expenses was primarily due to the greater number of facilities in
operation in 1999, increased EPO utilization, and an increase in the number of
treatments performed, which caused a corresponding increase in the use of drugs,
supplies and labor. As a percentage of net revenues, facilities expenses
decreased to 69.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 72.9% for
the same period in 1998. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues was
attributable to an increase in net revenues per treatment primarily due to
increased EPO utilization and favorable adjustments arising from cash receipts.
6
<PAGE> 9
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
consist of headquarter expenses including marketing, finance, operations
management, legal, quality assurance, information systems, billing and
collections and centralized accounting support. General and administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $1.2 million
compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 1998, representing a decrease of
16.6%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to
accruals related to management incentive programs during the third quarter of
1998. The majority of these accruals were made during the second quarter of
1999. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative decreased to
8.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 13.7% for the same
period in 1998. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues was due to an
increase in net revenues that did not require a corresponding increase in
general and administrative expenses and the management incentive program
accruals discussed above.
PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. The provision for doubtful accounts is a
function of patient payor mix, collection experience and other factors. It is
the Company's practice to reserve for doubtful accounts in the period in which
revenue is recognized based on management's estimate of the net collectibility
of accounts receivable. The provision for doubtful accounts for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 was $308,000 compared to $254,000 for the same period
in 1998, representing an increase of 21.3%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in net revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, the provision for
doubtful accounts was comparably 2.4% and 2.5% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Depreciation and amortization
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $673,000 compared to
$658,000 for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of 2.3%. The
increase was primarily due to the opening of one facility during August 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 was $69,000 compared to net interest income of $32,000 for
the same period in 1998. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in
interest expense on capital leases resulting from continuous reductions in
principal.
NET INCOME. The Company had net income of $1.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net income of $439,000 for the same
period in 1998, an income increase of $1.2 million.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$35.9 million compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 1998,
representing an increase of 31.6%. The increase in net revenues of $8.6 million
was primarily attributable to the acquisition of four dialysis clinics in March
1998 which contributed $1.8 million, $4.4 million from three facilities opened
during 1998, and $2.4 million from the continued growth at existing facilities,
along with increased net revenues per treatment primarily due to increased EPO
dosages and continued favorable adjustments arising from cash receipts.
FACILITIES EXPENSES. Facilities expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 were $26.0 million compared to $20.3 million for the same period in
1998, representing an increase of 28.0%. The increase in facilities expenses was
due to the greater number of facilities in operation in 1999, increased EPO
utilization, and an increase in the number of treatments performed which caused
a corresponding increase in the use of drugs, supplies and labor. As a
percentage of net revenues, facilities expenses decreased to 72.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from 74.6% for the same period in 1998. The
decrease as a percentage of net revenues was attributable to an increase in the
net revenues per treatment primarily due to increased EPO utilization and
favorable adjustments from arising cash receipts.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $4.0 million compared to $3.7
million for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of 9.6%. The
increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to accruals
related to management incentive programs. As a percentage of net revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from 13.5% for the same period in 1998. The decrease as a
percentage of net revenues was due to an increase in net revenues that did not
require a corresponding increase in general and administrative expenses.

PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS. The provision for doubtful accounts for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $988,000 compared to $748,000 for the
same period in 1998, representing an increase of 32.1%. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in net revenues. As a percentage of net revenues,
the provision for doubtful accounts was comparably 2.8% and 2.7% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES. Depreciation and amortization
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $2.0 million compared
to $1.7 million for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of 15.5%.
The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of four dialysis clinics and
the opening of three facilities in 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 was $167,000 compared to net interest income of $265,000 for the same
period in 1998, representing an income decrease of $98,000. The decrease was
primarily due to the sale of $5.1 million in securities available for sale
during March 1998 used primarily to purchase four facilities.
NET INCOME. The Company had net income of $2.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net income of $964,000 for the same
period in 1998, an income increase of $1.7 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires capital resources for maintenance, refurbishing and
expansion of existing facilities, acquisitions, DE NOVO facilities, working
capital and general corporate purposes. The Company intends to finance its
growth and working capital requirements, as well as purchases of additional
equipment and leasehold improvements, from cash on hand, cash generated from
operations and the Company's secured line of credit described below. As of
September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of approximately $9.3
million compared to working capital of $9.6 million as of December 31, 1998.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.2 million as of September 30, 1999, as
compared to $9.1 million as of December 31, 1998.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million and $2.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash
provided by operating activities consisted of the Company's net income,
increased by non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and the
provision for doubtful accounts and adjusted by changes in components of working
capital, primarily accounts receivable, inventories, due to third-parties and
accrued expenses.
The Company requires substantial working capital to cover the expenses and
initial losses of each DE NOVO facility. Once a DE NOVO facility is operational,
the Company is unable to bill for services until it receives a Medicare provider
number and the Medicare intermediary installs its electronic billing software at
the facility. For these reasons, there is typically a 90-day delay before the
Company will receive payment on its initial services at such facility. In
addition, the dialysis industry is characterized by long collection cycles
because Medicaid and private insurance carriers often require substantial
documentation to support reimbursement claims and in many instances take a
substantial amount of time to process claims. As a result, the Company requires
significant working capital to cover expenses during the collection process.
Net cash used for investing activities was $2.1 million and $2.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cash used
in 1999 consisted primarily of $1.4 million in purchases of fixed assets and
$600,000 in payments for the achievement of certain earnout provisions (see Note
2, Business Combinations, in the notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements). The cash used in 1998 related to the $4.5 million cash purchase of
four facilities in March 1998, along with $3.1 million for purchases of fixed
assets, offset by the sale of $5.1 million in securities available for sale.
Historically, the Company's principal uses of cash in investing activities have
been related to purchases of new equipment and leasehold improvements for the
Company's existing facilities, the cost of development of additional facilities
and acquisitions. Currently, there is one de novo facility that will open during
the fourth quarter of 1999. The cash outlay for construction of leasehold
improvements and purchases of equipment for this facility has been approximately
$1.2 million. The Company also plans to begin construction of two more de novo
facilities during the fourth quarter of 1999 that are expected to open in the
first quarter of 2000. The Company estimates that the cash outlay for
construction of leasehold improvements and purchases of equipment for these two
facilities will be approximately $2.0 million.

Net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 was $3.0 million. This consisted of $2.5 million used for the
repurchase of 609,400 shares of the Company's common stock and $505,000 of
payments on capital lease obligations. See Note 6, Share Repurchase Program, in
the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Net cash used for
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $593,000
which consisted primarily of payments on capital lease obligations of $413,000.
The Company has a $15 million secured line of credit with a financial
institution (the "Line of Credit"). Borrowings under the Line of Credit are
based on cash flow measurements, and bear interest ranging from the lower of the
LIBOR rate, plus 2.25% up to 2.75%, or the prime rate minus .5% up to the prime
rate depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The Line of Credit will be
utilized primarily for acquisitions and also provides working capital advances
via sublimits up to $5 million. The Line of Credit contains certain financial
covenants as to minimum net worth, leverage, capitalization and cash flow ratios
along with restrictions on new indebtedness and payment of dividends. As of
September 30, 1999, the Company did not have any borrowings under the Line of
Credit.
The Company's long-term capital requirements depend on numerous factors,
including the rate at which the Company develops or acquires new facilities. In
addition, the Company has various on-going needs for capital, including: (i)
working capital for operations (including financing receivables as previously
described); and (ii) routine capital expenditures for the maintenance of
facilities, such as equipment and leasehold improvements. In order to implement
the Company's long-term growth strategy, the Company anticipates that capital
requirements will increase substantially from historical levels.
The Company anticipates that the consideration to be paid for the
acquisition of new facilities will consist of cash, promissory notes, assumption
of liabilities and/or the issuance of common stock or securities convertible
into common stock. Currently, the Company does not have any agreements,
commitments or understandings regarding the acquisition of any facilities. The
Company believes that cash on hand, together with the Line of Credit, will be
sufficient to fund the Company's operations and to finance the Company's growth
strategy through the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not require substantial additional funds prior to such time.
INCOME TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $3.6 million of net
operating loss carryforwards that may be available to offset future taxable
income for federal income tax purposes. These net operating loss carryforwards
begin to expire in 2008.
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF INFLATION
A majority of the Company's net revenue is subject to reimbursement rates
which are regulated by the federal government and do not automatically adjust
for inflation. These reimbursement rates are adjusted periodically based on
certain factors, including Congressional budget limitations, inflation, consumer
price indexes and costs incurred in rendering the services. Historically,
adjustments to reimbursement rates have had little relation to the actual cost
of doing business.
The Company is not able to increase the amounts it bills for services
provided by its operations that are subject to Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement rates. Operating costs, such as labor and supply costs, are
subject to inflation without corresponding increases in reimbursement rates.
Such increases may be significant and, as such, have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations.

YEAR 2000
In February 1998, the Company formed a committee to evaluate and develop an
action plan for computer systems issues related to the Year 2000 ("Y2K"). The
committee has evaluated Y2K issues related to third party internal systems used
by the Company. This committee is also evaluating the impact of Y2K issues on
the Company's payors and operating vendors to determine their current status and
plan of action for Y2K readiness.
The Company recognizes its reliance on third parties for its operating and
financial computer output and processing. Based upon ongoing assessments, it
appears that the Company's existing internal software is Y2K compliant. Testing,
modifications and conversions of the software were initiated during the second
quarter of 1999. Thus far, results have not revealed non-compliance. The Company
did not incur significant costs related to these modifications and conversions.
The Company has formally communicated with its significant payors and
vendors and has requested a written statement regarding their Y2K readiness and
proof of their Y2K testing. In the event that a vendor fails to respond to the
Company's request, the Company will then contact alternative vendors who appear
to have greater Y2K readiness to provide the Company with the same or similar
supplies, equipment or services. A key vendor for which no alternative supplier
exists would be the manufacturer of EPOGEN, a drug that constitutes
approximately 25% of the Company's revenues. Publicly filed documents and a
letter that we received from this supplier indicate that although they are
proceeding diligently with their Y2K remediation, testing and implementation
processes which they expect to be completed by November 1999, they do not
warrant or guarantee that it will not have any significant exposure to the
problems associated with the date change to the year 2000. Therefore, the
Company intends to have a one-month excess supply of EPOGEN at December 31,
1999. The Company's Medicare intermediary, which provides approximately 50% of
the Company's cash receipts, has informed the Company that it is Y2K compliant.
However, the Company has received limited communication regarding Y2K readiness
from some of the state Medicaid payors and several commercial payors. The
Company will continue to actively seek sufficient information from these various
payors to determine what impact any payors may have on the Company's cash flow.
The failure of the above mentioned EPOGEN supplier or of the Company's Medicare
intermediary to be Y2K compliant would have a material adverse impact on the
operations of the Company. The failure of any of the Company's other significant
payors or operating vendors to be Y2K compliant could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of the Company.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In November 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share
repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of
common stock on the open market from time to time at prices acceptable to the
Company. In April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to an additional 500,000 shares of common stock bringing the
total share repurchase program to 1,000,000 shares. As of November 3, 1999,
609,400 shares have been repurchased at a cost of approximately $2.5 million.
