(1) In 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year end to December 31 from May
    31.
 
(2) The August 1994 Transaction and subsequent acquisitions had a significant
    impact on the Company's capitalization and equity securities and on the
    Company's results of operations. Consequently, the Balance Sheet Data as
    of May 31, 1995 and as of December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the Income
    Statement Data for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, for the seven
    months ended December 31, 1995, and the years ended December 31, 1996 and
    1997 are not directly comparable to corresponding information as of prior
    dates and for prior periods, respectively.
 
(3) General and administrative expenses for the fiscal years ended May 31,
    1993 and 1994 include overhead allocations by the Company's former parent
    of $235,000 and $1,458,000, respectively. The overhead allocations for the
    fiscal year ended May 31, 1993 were made using a different methodology
    than that used in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994 and the substantial
    increase in that year reflects this change in methodology rather than a
    change in the level of services provided. No overhead allocation was made
    for the period from March 1, 1994 through the closing of the August 1994
    Transaction, at which time the Company began to record general and
    administrative expenses as incurred on a stand-alone basis. General and
    administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994 also
    reflect $458,000 in expenses relating to a terminated equity offering.
 
(4) In December 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,555,000
    or $0.04 per share, net of tax, on the early extinguishment of debt. In
    July and September 1996, the Company recorded a combined extraordinary
    loss of $7,700,000 or $0.10 per share net of tax, on the early
    extinguishment of debt. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements.
 
(5) See additional income per share information in the Consolidated Statements
    of Income. No income per share information is presented for the years
    ended May 31, 1993 and 1994 as the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary
    during those periods.
 
(6) Mandatorily redeemable Common Stock represents shares of Common Stock
    issued in certain acquisitions subject to put options that terminated upon
    the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
 
(7) In connection with the August 1994 Transaction, the Company paid a special
    dividend to Tenet Healthcare Corporation ("Tenet") of $81.7 million,
    including $75.5 million in cash.
 
(8) The consolidated income statement data combine the Company's results of
    operations for the years ended May 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the seven
    months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the years ended December 31,
    1995, 1996 and 1997 with RTC's results of operations for the years ended
    December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the six months ended December 31, 1994
    and 1995 and the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.
 
(9) The consolidated balance sheet data combine the Company's balance sheet as
    of May 31, 1993, 1994, 1995 and December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 with
    RTC's balance sheet as of December 31, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and
    1997.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
  The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this
Form 10-K.
 
BACKGROUND
 
  The Company's wholly owned subsidiary Total Renal Care, Inc., formerly
Medical Ambulatory Care, Inc., was organized in 1979 by Tenet Healthcare
Corporation ("Tenet," formerly National Medical Enterprises, Inc.), to own and
operate Tenet's hospital-based dialysis services as freestanding dialysis
facilities and to acquire and develop additional dialysis facilities in
Tenet's markets. The Company was organized to facilitate the August 1994
Transaction which consisted of the sale by Tenet of approximately 75% of its
ownership interest to DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, L.P. and certain of its
affiliates ("DLJMB"), management of the Company and certain holders of debt
securities of the Company. In connection with the August 1994 Transaction, the
 
                                       2

 
Company, NME Properties Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenet),
Tenet and DLJMB entered into a number of agreements relating to, among other
things, corporate governance, the provision of certain services to the Company
by Tenet, and restrictions on stock transfers.
 
  In the August 1994 Transaction, the Company paid a special dividend of $81.7
million, including $75.5 million in cash, to Tenet out of the net proceeds
from (i) the issuance of units consisting of $100 million in principal amount
at maturity of 12% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2004 (the "Discount
Notes"), which were issued at approximately 70% of par, and 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock and (ii) borrowing under the Company's revolving credit
facility with The Bank of New York (the "TRC Credit Facility"). The Company
raised additional capital to fund the continuation of its growth strategy
through an initial public offering ("IPO") on October 30, 1995 in which the
Company issued and sold 11,500,000 shares of its Common Stock and raised gross
proceeds of $107 million. Concurrent with the IPO, the Company listed its
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "TRL." Subsequent
to the IPO, the Company changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to December
31.
 
  The Company raised additional capital to further fund its growth strategy
with two secondary stock offerings in April and October of 1996 which raised
gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $135 million. In October of
1996 the Company increased its credit facility with the Bank of New York from
$130 million to $400 million (the "Credit Facility"). With the proceeds from
the IPO, the April 1996 secondary offering and the Credit Facility, the
Company was able to complete the early retirement of the Discount Notes. On
October 24, 1997, the Company increased the Credit Facility to an aggregate of
$1,050,000,000 in two bank facilities ("the Credit Facilities").
 
  Following the August 1994 Transaction, the Company implemented a focused
strategy to increase net operating revenues per treatment and improve
operating income margins. The Company has significantly increased per-
treatment revenues through the addition of in-house clinical laboratory and
pharmacy services, improved pricing, and increased utilization of ancillary
services. To improve operating income, the Company began a systematic review
of the Company's vendor relations leading to the renegotiation of a number of
supply contracts and insurance arrangements that reduced operating expenses.
In addition the Company has focused on improving facility operating
efficiencies and leveraging corporate and regional management. These
improvements have been offset in part by increased amortization of goodwill
and other intangible assets relating to the Company's acquisitions (all of
which have been accounted for as purchase transactions, except the Merger) and
start-up expenses related to de novo developments.
 
  The Company incurred approximately $70.4 million of indebtedness as a result
of the August 1994 Transaction. The related interest expense had a significant
impact on the Company's results of operations for subsequent periods. The
Company's results of operations for these periods have also been materially
affected by the implementation of the Company's growth strategy subsequent to
the August 1994 Transaction.
 
  On February 27, 1998 the Company acquired Renal Treatment Centers, Inc.
("RTC"), with headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania (the "Merger"). In
connection with the Merger, the Company issued 34,565,729 shares of its common
stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of RTC common stock. The
RTC merger transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and as
such, the consolidated financial statements have been restated to include RTC
for all periods presented as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
NET OPERATING REVENUES
 
  Net operating revenues are derived primarily from four sources: (i)
outpatient facility hemodialysis services, (ii) ancillary services, including
EPO administration, clinical laboratory services and intravenous and oral
pharmaceutical products and services, (iii) home dialysis services and related
products and (iv) inpatient hemodialysis services provided to hospitalized
patients pursuant to arrangements with hospitals. Additional revenues are
derived from the provision of dialysis facility management services to certain
subsidiaries and affiliated and unaffiliated dialysis centers. The Company's
dialysis and ancillary services are reimbursed primarily under the Medicare
ESRD program in accordance with rates established by HCFA. Payments are also
provided by other third party payors, generally at rates higher than those
reimbursed by Medicare for up to the
 
                                       3

 
first 21 months of treatment as mandated by law. Rates paid for services
provided to hospitalized patients are negotiated with individual hospitals.
For the year ended May 31, 1995, approximately 65% and 7% of the Company's net
operating revenues were derived from reimbursement under Medicare and
Medicaid, respectively. For the seven months ended December 31, 1995,
approximately 55% and 6% of the Company's net operating revenues were derived
from reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid, respectively. For the years
ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997, approximately 60% and 56%,
respectively, and 5% and 5%, respectively of the Company's net operating
revenues were derived from reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid,
respectively. See "Item 1. Business--Operations--Sources of Revenue
Reimbursement."

                                       4

 
 Year Ended December 31, 1997 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996
 
  Net Operating Revenues. Net operating revenues increased $262,973,000 to
$760,997,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 ("Year End 1997") from
$498,024,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 ("Year End 1996")
representing a 52.8% increase. Of this increase $257,113,000 was due to
increased treatments from acquisitions, existing facility growth and from de
novo developments. The remainder was due to an increase in net operating
revenues per treatment which were $224.37 in Year End 1997 compared to $222.64
in Year End 1996. The increase in operating revenues per treatment was due to
increases in ancillary services utilization and in affiliated and unaffiliated
facility management fees.
 
  Facility Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses consist of costs
and expenses specifically attributable to the operation of dialysis
facilities, including operating and maintenance costs of such facilities,
equipment, direct labor, and supply and service costs relating to patient
care. Facility operating expenses increased $166,810,000 to $510,990,000 in
Year End 1997 from $344,180,000 in Year End 1996 and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, facility operating expenses decreased to 67.1% in Year End
1997 from 69.1% in Year End 1996. This decrease is mostly due to improvements
in labor and pharmaceutical costs as a percentage of revenues partially offset
by an increase in other facility expenses, consisting primarily of rent and
medical director fees. In December 1996, the Company implemented its best
demonstrated practices program which focuses primarily upon deriving
efficiencies in labor and supply costs.
 
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
include headquarters expense and administrative, legal, quality assurance,
information systems and centralized accounting support functions. General and
administrative expenses increased $17,749,000 to $50,099,000 in Year End 1997
from $32,350,000 in Year End 1996, and as a percentage of net operating
revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.6% for Year End
1997 from 6.5% in Year End 1996. The increase was due to additional corporate
labor resources added to further the Company's growth via acquisitions
proportionately in excess of revenue growth.
 
  Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts
increased $4,788,000 to $20,525,000 in Year End 1997 from $15,737,000 in Year
End 1996. As a percentage of net operating revenues, the provision for
doubtful accounts decreased to 2.7% in Year End 1997 from 3.2% in Year End
1996, due to better management of the collection process for patient secondary
balances remaining after Medicare, as the primary payor, has paid 80% of the
claim.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$22,158,000 to $54,603,000 in Year End 1997 from $32,445,000 in Year End 1996,
and as a percentage of net operating revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased to 7.2% in Year End 1997 from 6.5% in Year End 1996. This increase
was attributable to increased amortization due to acquisition activity and
increased depreciation from new center leaseholds and routine capital
expenditures.
 
  Merger Expenses. There were no merger expenses for the year ended December
31, 1997, as compared to $2,808,000 for the same period in 1996. For the year
ended December 31, 1996, merger expenses were incurred as a result of the
mergers by RTC which were completed during 1996 and were accounted for under
the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Merger expenses include
investment banking, legal, accounting and other fees and expenses.
 
  Operating Income. Operating income increased $54,276,000 to $124,780,000 in
Year End 1997 from $70,504,000 in Year End 1996, and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, operating income increased to 16.4% in Year End 1997 from
14.2% in Year End 1996. This increase in operating income as a percentage of
net operating revenue reflects a decrease in facility operating costs and the
provision for doubtful accounts offset by an increase in general and
administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
$15,480,000 to $25,039,000 in Year End 1997 from $9,559,000 in Year End 1996,
and as a percentage of net operating revenues, interest expense, net of
interest income, was 3.3% in Year End 1997 and 1.9% in Year End 1996. Cash
interest expense during Year End 1997 was $28,214,000 and non-cash interest
during the same period was $0 versus $9,021,000 and $4,396,000 in Year End
1996, respectively. Non-cash interest expense during Year End 1996 was related
to the Company's Discount Notes which were completely retired through an early
extinguishment during the third
 
                                       5

 
quarter of 1996. The increase in cash interest expense was due primarily to an
increase in borrowings made under the Company's credit facilities to fund the
Company's acquisitions.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $17,252,000
to $40,212,000 in Year End 1997 from $22,960,000 in Year End 1996, and the
effective income tax rate after minority interests increased to 42.2% in Year
End 1997 from 40.0% in Year End 1996. The overall increase in the effective
tax rate primarily reflects non-deductible goodwill associated with stock
acquired, and to foreign net operating losses, for which no benefit was
recognized during 1997, from businesses in Argentina.
 
  Minority Interests. Minority interests represent the pretax income earned by
physicians who directly or indirectly own minority interests in the Company's
partnership affiliates and the net income in two of the Company's corporate
subsidiaries. Minority interests increased $924,000 to $4,502,000 in Year End
1997 from $3,578,000 in Year End 1996, and as a percentage of net operating
revenues, minority interest decreased to 0.6% in Year End 1997 from 0.7% in
Year End 1996. This decrease in minority interest as a percentage of net
operating revenues is a result of a relative proportionate decrease in the
formation of partnership affiliates and subsidiaries as a percentage of total
new acquisitions.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1996 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995
 
  Net Operating Revenues. Net operating revenues increased $198,613,000 to
$498,024,000 for Year End 1996 from $299,411,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995 ("Year End 1995") representing a 66.3% increase. Of this increase
$191,811,000 was due to increased treatments from acquisitions, existing
facility growth and from de novo developments. The remainder was due to an
increase in net operating revenues per treatment which were $222.64 in Year
End 1996 compared to $219.60 in Year End 1995. The increase in net operating
revenues per treatment was due to the addition of the Company's ESRD
laboratory in 1995 resulting in a full year of revenue in 1996, an overall
increase in average reimbursement rates, increased ancillary services
utilization primarily in the administration of EPO, the opening of the
Company's oral pharmaceutical and IV therapy program, and an increase in
affiliated and unaffiliated facility management fees.
 
  Facility Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased
$145,526,000 to $344,180,000 in Year End 1996 from $198,654,000 in Year End
1995 and as a percentage of net operating revenues, facility operating
expenses increased to 69.1% in Year End 1996 from 66.3% in Year End 1995. In
Year End 1996 the increase in facility operating expenses as a percentage of
revenue primarily was due to increased labor and benefits partially incurred
as a result of utilizing existing employees of the acquired facilities during
transition periods after the acquisitions.
 
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $11,350,000 to $32,350,000 in Year End 1996 from $21,000,000 in Year
End 1995, and as a percentage of net operating revenues, general and
administrative expenses declined to 6.5% in Year End 1996 from 7.0% in Year
End 1995. This decline as a percentage of net revenue is a result of revenue
growth and economies of scale achieved through the leveraging of corporate
staff across a higher revenue base.
 
  Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts
increased $8,157,000 to $15,737,000 in Year End 1996 from $7,580,000 in Year
End 1995, and as a percentage of net operating revenues, provision for
doubtful accounts increased to 3.2% in Year End 1996 from 2.5% in Year End
1995. The increase is due to the recognition of an increase in uncollectible
accounts, primarily patient secondary amounts remaining after Medicare, as the
primary payor, paid 80% of the bill. The decrease in collectibility was caused
by RTC's conversion to a new system in late 1995.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$13,842,000 to $32,445,000 in Year End 1996 from $18,603,000 in Year End 1995,
and as a percentage of net operating revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased to 6.5% in Year End 1996 from 6.2% in Year End 1995. This increase
was attributable to increased amortization due to acquisition activity and
increased depreciation from new center leaseholds and routine capital
expenditures.
 
 
                                       6

 
  Merger Expenses. Merger expenses increased 34.5% to $2,808,000 for the Year
End December 31,1996 from $2,088,000 for Year End 1995. The merger expenses
represented expenses incurred in connection with the completed mergers by RTC
which were accounted for under the pooling-of-interest method of accounting.
Merger expenses include investment banking, legal, accounting and other fees
and expenses.
 
  Operating Income. Operating income increased $19,018,000 to $70,504,000 in
Year End 1996 from $51,486,000 in Year End 1995, and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, operating income decreased to 14.2% in Year End 1996 from
17.2% in Year End 1995. This decrease in operating income as a percentage of
revenue is primarily due to an increase in facility operating expenses,
provision for doubtful accounts and depreciation and amortization partially
offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net operating revenues.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased
$2,242,000 to $9,559,000 in Year End 1996 from $11,801,000 in Year End 1995,
and as a percentage of net operating revenues, interest expense, net of
interest income, was 1.9% in Year End 1996 and 3.9% in Year End 1995. Cash
interest expense during Year End 1996 was $9,021,000 and non-cash interest
during the same period was $4,396,000 versus $3,929,000 and $8,901,000 in Year
End 1995, respectively. The decrease in Year End 1996 non-cash interest
expense was due primarily to the early extinguishment of a portion of the
Discount Notes in December of 1995 and the remainder in the third quarter of
the year ended December 31, 1996 (as discussed in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" below), and short term investment income earned on excess proceeds
from the public stock offerings in April and October, 1996.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $9,119,000
to $22,960,000 in Year End 1996 from $13,841,000 in Year End 1995, and the
effective income tax rate before minority interests increased to 40.0% in Year
End 1996 from 37.3% in Year End 1995. The overall increase in the effective
tax rate reflects an increase in the blended state rates and additional non-
deductible goodwill associated with certain acquisitions of stock.
 
  Minority Interests. Minority interests increased $1,034,000 to $3,578,000 in
Year End 1996 from $2,544,000 in Year End 1995, and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, minority interest decreased to 0.7% in Year End 1996 from
0.8% in Year End 1995. This decrease in minority interest as a percentage of
net operating revenues is a result of a relative proportionate decrease in the
formation of partnership affiliates and subsidiaries as a percentage of total
new acquisitions.
 
  Extraordinary Loss. In December 1995 the Company redeemed 35% of the
accreted value of the Discount Notes for a total redemption price of
$31,912,000. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss of $2,555,000 (net of income tax effect). In July and
September 1996, the Company retired all remaining outstanding Notes for a
total redemption price of $68,499,000. In connection with these redemptions,
the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $7,700,000 (net of income tax
effect).
 
 Seven Months Ended December 31, 1995 compared to Seven Months Ended December
31, 1994
 
  Net Operating Revenues. Net operating revenues increased $54,398,000 to
$176,463,000 for the seven months ended December 31, 1995 ("1995 Seven Month
Period") from $122,065,000 for the seven months ended December 31, 1994 ("1994
Seven Month Period") representing a 44.6% increase. The increase was due to
increased treatments from acquisitions, existing facility growth and de novo
developments. The remaining increase was attributable to an increase in
affiliated and unaffiliated facility management fees, the addition of TRC's
ESRD laboratory, an overall increase in reimbursement rates, increased
ancillary services utilization primarily in the administration of EPO and the
opening of the Company's oral pharmaceutical and IV therapy program.
 
  Facility Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased
$31,849,000 to $115,219,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from $83,370,000 in
the 1994 Seven Month Period and as a percentage of net
 
                                       7

 
operating revenues, facility operating expenses declined to 65.3% in the 1995
Seven Month Period from 68.3% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. In the 1995
Seven Month Period the decrease in facility operating expenses as a percentage
of revenue was due to substantial reductions achieved in the costs of
providing services, including medical and pharmaceutical supplies, and overall
labor resource efficiencies.
 
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $2,018,000 to $12,117,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from
$10,099,000 in the 1994 Seven Month Period, and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, general and administrative expenses declined to 6.9% in
the 1995 Seven Month Period from 8.3% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. This
decline as a percentage of net revenue is a result of revenue growth and
economies of scale achieved through the leveraging of corporate staff across a
higher revenue base.
 
  Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts
increased $1,066,000 to $4,552,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from
$3,486,000 in the 1994 Seven Month Period, and as a percentage of net
operating revenues, provision for doubtful accounts decreased to 2.6% in the
1995 Seven Month Period from 2.9% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. The
provision for doubtful accounts is influenced by the amount of net operating
revenues generated from non-governmental payor sources. The decrease for the
1995 Seven Month Period reflects better management of accounts receivable,
including increased collection efforts, billing accuracy and improved
preauthorization procedures with payors.
 
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$3,710,000 to $10,808,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from $7,098,000 in
the 1994 Seven Month Period, and as a percentage of net operating revenues,
depreciation and amortization increased to 6.1% in the 1995 Seven Month Period
from 5.8% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. This increase was attributable to
increased amortization due to acquisition activity and increased depreciation
from new center leaseholds and routine capital expenditures.
 
  Merger Expenses. Merger expenses in the 1995 Seven Month Period were the
expenses incurred as a result of the RTC merger completed on August 1, 1995
which was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
These expenses included fees for the investment banker, attorneys,
accountants, and various other expenses incurred as a result of combining the
companies.
 
  Operating Income. Operating income increased $15,255,000 to $33,267,000 in
the 1995 Seven Month Period from $18,012,000 in the 1994 Seven Month Period,
and as a percentage of net operating revenues, operating income increased to
18.9% in the 1995 Seven Month Period from 14.8% in the 1994 Seven Month
Period. This increase in operating income reflects a decrease in facility
operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and the provision for
doubtful accounts, slightly offset by an increase in depreciation and
amortization, all as a percentage of net operating revenues.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
$2,993,000 to $6,831,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from $3,838,000 in the
1994 Seven Month Period, and as a percentage of net operating revenues,
interest expense, net of interest income, was 3.9% in the 1995 Seven Month
Period and 3.1% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. Cash interest expense during
the 1995 Seven Month Period was $2,466,000 and non-cash interest during the
same period was $5,228,000 versus $1,198,000 and $3,274,000 in the 1994 Seven
Month Period, respectively. The increase in the 1995 Seven Month Period cash
interest expense was due primarily to increased borrowing under the TRC Credit
Facility and the increase in non cash interest expense was due to the August
11, 1994 issuance of the Discount Notes, which resulted in four and a half
months of interest expense recognized in the 1994 Seven Month Period as
compared to a full seven months of interest expense recognized in the 1995
Seven Month Period. In addition, interest accrued in the 1995 Seven Month
Period on a higher accreted principal amount through December 7, 1995, on
which date the Company redeemed 35% of the principal amount of the Discount
Notes at maturity.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $5,172,000
to $9,931,000 in the 1995 Seven Month Period from $4,759,000 in the 1994 Seven
Month Period, and the effective income tax rate after minority interests
increased to 40.3% in the 1995 Seven Month Period from 35.8% in the 1994 Seven
Month Period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the blended
state tax rates.
 
                                       8

 
  Minority Interests. Minority interests increased $906,000 to $1,784,000 in
the 1995 Seven Month Period from $878,000 in the 1994 Seven Month Period, and
as a percentage of net operating revenues, minority interest increased to 1.0%
in the 1995 Seven Month Period from 0.7% in the 1994 Seven Month Period. This
increase in minority interest as a percentage of revenue is a result of
increased profitability at these partnership affiliates and subsidiaries and
an increase in the number of company facilities owned by such partnership
affiliates.
 
  Extraordinary Loss. On December 7, 1995 the Company redeemed 35% of the
accreted value of the Discount Notes at a redemption premium of 111% for a
total redemption price of $31,912,000. In connection with this redemption, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,555,000 (net of income tax
effect) in December 1995.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Sources and Uses of Cash. Net cash provided by operating activities of the
Company was $21,279,000, $30,926,000, $14,393,000 and $19,305,000 for Year End
1997, Year End 1996, 1995 Seven Month Period and the fiscal year ended May 31,
1995, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities consists of the
Company's net income, increased by an extraordinary item related to the early
extinguishment of debt (for the 1995 Seven Month Period and Year End 1996) and
non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, accreted interest and
the provision for doubtful accounts, and adjusted by changes in components of
working capital, primarily accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing
activities was $526,217,000, $273,069,000, $47,973,000 and $83,156,000 for
Year End 1997, Year End 1996, 1995 Seven Month Period and the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1995, respectively. The Company's principal uses of cash in
investing activities have been related to acquisitions, purchases of new
equipment and leasehold improvements for the Company's outpatient facilities,
as well as the development of new outpatient facilities. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $489,754,000 for Year End 1997 consisting primarily
of proceeds from the Company's Credit Facilities, $225,058,000 for Year End
1996 consisting primarily of net proceeds from two public issuances of common
stock, net proceeds from the Credit Facility and proceeds from issuance of the
RTC Convertible Subordinated Notes, offset by amounts paid in connection with
the remaining Discount Notes; $67,003,000 for the 1995 Seven Month Period
consisting primarily of net proceeds from the IPO, less amounts paid in
connection with the redemption of 35% of the outstanding Discount Notes and
net payments of borrowings under the Credit Facility; and $66,571,000 for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, consisting primarily of debt and equity
offering proceeds, and borrowings under the Credit Facility, net of cash
dividends paid to Tenet.
 
  Expansion. The Company anticipates aggregate capital requirements for
purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements for outpatient facilities
including the development costs of 30 de novo facilities after March 31, 1998
will be approximately $40,000,000.
 
  The Company's strategy is to continue to expand its operations both through
development of de novo centers and through acquisitions. The development of a
typical outpatient facility generally requires $800,000 to $1,200,000 for
initial construction and equipment and $200,000 to $300,000 for working
capital. Based on the Company's experience, a de novo facility typically
achieves operating profitability, before depreciation and amortization, by the
12th to 15th month of operation. However, the period of time for a de novo
facility to break even is dependent on many factors which can vary
significantly from facility to facility, and, therefore, the Company's past
experience may not be indicative of the performance of future de novo
facilities.
 
  From January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998 the Company has paid
approximately $51 million in consideration for acquisitions of nine facilities
and a pharmacy operation. Additionally, the Company has entered into letters
of intent to acquire additional facilities for approximately $100 million.
 
  Credit Facilities. On October 24, 1997, the Company expanded its existing
$400 million Credit Facility to an aggregate of $1,050,000,000 in two bank
facilities. The Credit Facilities consist of a seven-year $800 million
revolving credit facility and a ten-year $250 million term facility. Under the
revolving credit
 
                                       9

 
facility, up to $100,000,000 may be used in connection with letters of credit,
and up to $15,000,000 in short-term funds may be borrowed the same day notice
is given to the banks under a "Swing Line" facility. Up to $75,000,000 of the
available letters of credit or borrowings under the revolving credit facility
may be utilized for foreign financing. In general, borrowings under the Credit
Facilities bear interest at one of two floating rates selected by the Company:
(i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined as the higher of The Bank of New York's
prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%); or (ii) Adjusted LIBOR
(defined as the 30-, 60-, 90- or 180-day London Interbank Offered Rate,
adjusted for statutory reserves) plus a margin that ranges from 0.45% to 1.75%
depending on the Company's leverage ratio. Swing Line borrowings bear interest
at either a rate negotiated by the Company and the banks at the time of
borrowing or, if no rate is negotiated and agreed upon, the Alternate Base
Rate.
 
  The Credit Facilities contain financial and operating covenants including,
among other things, requirements that the Company maintain certain financial
ratios and satisfy certain financial tests, and imposes limitations on the
Company's ability to make capital expenditures, to incur other indebtedness
and to pay dividends. As of the date hereof, the Company is in compliance with
all such covenants.
 
  On November 25, 1996, the Company entered into a seven year interest rate
swap agreement involving the exchange of fixed and floating interest payment
obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. At
December 31, 1997 the total notional principal amount of this interest rate
swap agreement was $100,000,000 and the effective interest rate thereon was
7.57%.
 
  On July 24, 1997, the Company entered into a ten-year interest rate swap
agreement. At December 31, 1997 the total notional principal amount of this
interest rate swap agreement was $200,000,000 and the effective interest rate
thereon was 7.77%.
 
  Stock Split. On September 30, 1997 the Company declared a five-for-three
split of its Common Stock in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders of
record on October 7, 1997 received two additional shares of the Company's
Common Stock for every three shares owned. The dividend shares were delivered
to the record stockholders on October 20, 1997. The Company issued a cash
dividend for all fractional shares of approximately $14,000 which was also
paid on October 20, 1997.
 
  Year 2000 Risks. Certain of the Company's older computer software programs
identify years with two digits instead of four. This is likely to cause
problems because the programs may recognize the year 2000 as the year 1900.
Plans are in the process to eliminate all Year 2000 software problems. The
Company fully expects to complete the necessary conversions by the end of the
second quarter of 1999. The Company believes that the cost of modifying those
systems that were not already scheduled for replacement for business reasons
prior to 2000 is immaterial. Although the Company does not expect Year 2000 to
have a material adverse effect on its internal operations, it is possible that
Year 2000 problems could have a significant adverse effect on (i) the
Company's suppliers and their ability to service the Company and to accurately
process payments received and (ii) the ability of certain third party
insurance payors and governmental payors, such as Medicare and the individual
state Medicaid programs, to accurately process remittance (payments) on
patient accounts receivable due to the Company.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc.
 
  In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of income, of stockholders' equity, and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Total Renal Care
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended May 31,
1995, the seven months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Renal
Treatment Centers, Inc. (RTC) a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements
reflect total assets of $293,948,000 and $585,494,000 at December 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively, and total revenues of $115,457,000; $86,752,000;
$225,077,000 and $322,792,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, the six
months ended December 31, 1995, and the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for RTC, is based solely on the
report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Renal Treatment Centers, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renal
Treatment Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 1997 and for
the six month period ended December 31, 1995 (not presented separately
herein). Our audits also included Financial Statement Schedule II of Renal
Treatment Centers, Inc. and its subsidiaries (not presented separately
herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of
Wichita Dialysis Group and Healthcare Corporation and Affiliates for the year
ended December 31, 1994. Such Companies were acquired by the Company in
business combinations which have both been accounted for using the pooling of
interest method of accounting, as described in Note 2 to the financial
statements. The financial statements for the Companies reflect 22 percent of
total consolidated net patient revenue for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it related to the amounts
included for Wichita Dialysis Group and Healthcare Corporation and Affiliates,
is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors,
the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Renal Treatment
Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
four years in the period ended December 31, 1997 and for the six month period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information required to included therein.

                        TOTAL RENAL CARE HOLDINGS, INC.
 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Organization
 
  Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. (the Company) operates kidney dialysis
facilities and provides related medical services in Medicare certified
dialysis facilities in various geographic sectors of the United States and
also in Argentina, Puerto Rico, Europe and Guam.
 
  The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare Corporation
("Tenet", formerly National Medical Enterprises, Inc.) until August 1994. In
August 1994, the Company completed a public offering of senior subordinated
notes and common stock, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund a
dividend to Tenet. Immediately after payment of the dividend, Donaldson,
Lufkin, Jenrette Merchant Banking Funding, Inc. and certain of its affiliates
(DLJMB) and certain members of management acquired newly issued common stock
of the Company to effect a change in control of the Company. Although there
was a change in control, the Company's accounts were not adjusted from their
historical bases due to the significant continuing ownership interest of
Tenet.
 
  On February 27, 1998 the Company acquired Renal Treatment Centers, Inc.
("RTC"), with headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania ("Merger"). In connection
with the Merger, the Company issued 34,565,729 shares of its common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of RTC common stock. RTC
shareholders received 1.335 shares of the Company's common stock for each
share of RTC common stock that they owned. The Company also issued 2,156,424
options in substitution for previously outstanding RTC stock options,
including 1,662,354 of the vested options that were exercised on the merger
date or shortly thereafter. In addition, the Company guaranteed $125,000,000
of RTC's 5 5/8% subordinated convertible notes. In conjunction with this
transaction, the Board and the Company's stockholders authorized an additional
140,000,000 share of common stock. The RTC merger transaction has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests and as such, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include RTC for all periods
presented. RTC has always used a December 31 year end while the Company used a
May 31 year end until May 31, 1995 after which it changed to a December 31
fiscal year end. Accordingly, the restated consolidated financial statements
combine the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, the seven month period ended December 31, 1995 and the twelve
months ended May 31, 1995 with RTC's balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the
twelve months ended December 31, 1994, respectively. Net revenue and net
income of RTC for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was $77,816,000 and
$6,377,000, respectively, with the net income reflected as an adjustment to
retained earnings effective July 1, 1995. See Note 17.
 
  There were no transactions between the Company and RTC prior to the
combination and immaterial adjustments were recorded to conform RTC's
accounting policies. Certain reclassifications were made to the RTC financial
statements to conform to the Company's presentations.
 
 Basis of presentation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Total Renal
Care Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned corporate
subsidiaries and partnership investments. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  In February 1996, RTC acquired, through two separate transactions,
Intercontinental Medical Services, Inc. ("IMS") and Midwest Dialysis Unit and
its affiliates (collectively "MDU"). Each of the transactions was separately
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The consolidated financial statements
include the results of IMS and MDU as of January 1, 1996. Prior year financial
statements have not been restated to reflect these transactions because the
effect of such transactions is not material.
 
                                      F-9

 
                        TOTAL RENAL CARE HOLDINGS, INC.
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In July 1996, RTC acquired Panama City Artificial Kidney Center, Inc. and
North Florida Artificial Kidney Center, Inc. (collectively "the Group"). In
July 1995, RTC acquired Wichita Dialysis Center, P.A., Southeast Kansas
Dialysis Center, P.A., Garden City Dialysis Center, P.A. and Wichita Dialysis
Center, East, P.A. (the "Wichita Companies"). In March 1995, RTC acquired
Healthcare Corporation and its affiliates (collectively, "HCC"). These
transactions were accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give retroactive
effect to the mergers.
 
 Net operating revenues
 
  Revenues are recognized when services and related products are provided to
patients in need of ongoing life sustaining kidney dialysis treatments.
Operating revenues consist primarily of dialysis and ancillary fees from
patient treatments. These amounts are reported at the amounts expected to be
realized from governmental and third-party payors, patients and others for
services provided. Appropriate allowances are established based upon credit
risk of specific third-party payors, historical trends and other factors and
are reflected in the provision for doubtful accounts as a component of
operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
 
  During the years ended May 31, 1995, the seven months ended December 31,
1995 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company received
approximately 72%, 61%, 65% and 61%, respectively, of its dialysis revenues
from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Accounts receivable from Medicare and
Medicaid amounted to $119,611,000 and $205,564,000 as of December 31, 1996,
and 1997, respectively. Medicare historically pays approximately 80% of
government established rates for services provided by the Company. The
remaining 20% is typically paid by state Medicaid programs, private insurance
companies or directly by the patients receiving the services.
 
  Medicare and Medicaid programs funded by the U.S. government generally
reimburse the Company under prospective payment systems at amounts different
from the Company's established private rates. Revenues under these programs
are generally recognized at prospective rates which are subject to periodic
adjustment by federal and state agencies. The Company bills non-governmental
third-party payors at established private rates. The Company has contracts for
the provision of dialysis services to members of certain managed care
organizations which generally include rate provisions at less than the
established private rates.
 
  In August 1993, the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1993 ("OBRA 93") became effective. The OBRA 93 provisions were originally
interpreted by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) to modify the
requirements that employer group health sponsored insurance plans (private
payors) be the primary payor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who
subsequently become dually entitled to Medicare benefits because of ESRD
following initial eligibility under age or disability provisions. In July
1994, HCFA instructed the Medicare fiscal intermediaries to retroactively
apply the provisions of OBRA 93 to August 10, 1993. In April 1995, HCFA issued
instructions of clarification to the fiscal intermediaries that it had
misinterpreted the OBRA regulations and that Medicare would continue as the
primary payor after dual eligibility was achieved under the ESRD provision. In
January 1998, a permanent injunction was issued by a federal court preventing
HCFA from retroactively applying its reinterpretation of the OBRA 93
regulations as unlawful retroactive rule-making. Accordingly, the Company has
recognized as revenue payments from private payors in excess of the revenue
previously recognized at lower rates which are attributable to such patients.
 
  As a Medicare and Medicaid provider, the Company is subject to extensive
regulation by both the federal government and the states in which the Company
conducts its business. Due to heightened awareness of federal and state
budgets, scrutiny is being placed on the health care industry, potentially
subjecting the Company to regulatory investigation and changes in billing
procedures.
 
  The provisions of the Kennedy-Kassebaum legislation issued January 1, 1997
may limit the Company's ability to pay for policy premiums for patients even
with proven financial hardship. However, the Company

                        TOTAL RENAL CARE HOLDINGS, INC.
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
believes that the bill did not intend to limit the Company's ability to pay
premiums for insurance coverage to third-party or governmental payors. In the
Fall of 1997, the Office of Inspector General of the HHS issued an advisory
opinion which would allow the Company to make grants to a foundation that may
provide for such premium payments on behalf of ESRD patients. In addition,
legislation is currently pending which would permit the Company to pay
premiums for insurance coverage for patients with proven financial hardship.
 
 Cash and cash equivalents
 
  Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
 
 Investments
 
  Investments were comprised of investments in corporate bonds and government
and government agency securities. Investment income is recognized when earned
and realized gains and losses are recognized on a trade date basis, computed
based on original cost. The investments are stated at cost, which approximates
fair market value. All investments were managed by one financial institution.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, all investments were liquidated, resulting in
an immaterial realized gain.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist principally of drugs and dialysis related supplies.
 
 Property and equipment
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense are
computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets
estimated as follows: buildings, 20 to 40 years; leaseholds and improvements,
over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term; and
equipment, 3 to 15 years.
 
 Capitalized interest
 
  The Company capitalizes interest associated with the costs of significant
facility expansion and construction. Interest is capitalized by using an
interest rate which is equal to the weighted average borrowing rate on the
Company's long-term debt. Approximately $685,000 in interest expense was
capitalized for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
 Intangible assets
 
  Business acquisition costs allocated to patient lists are amortized
generally over five to eight years using the straight-line method. Business
acquisition costs allocated to covenants not to compete are amortized over the
terms of the agreements, typically three to eleven years, using the straight-
line method. Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the
debt using the effective interest method. Pre-opening and development costs,
included in other intangible assets, are amortized over five years.
 
  The excess of aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over 15 to
40 years using the straight-line method.
 
  The carrying value of intangible assets is assessed for any permanent
impairment by evaluating the operating performance and future undiscounted
cash flows from operations of the underlying businesses. Adjustments are made
if the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than
book value. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of (SFAS 121), requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
 Income taxes
 
  The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach,
which requires recognition of deferred income taxes for all temporary
differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's
assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
  Following the change in control described above, the Company's results of
operations were no longer included in Tenet's consolidated federal and
applicable unitary state income tax returns. For financial reporting purposes,
the provision for income taxes through August 11 of the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995 was calculated as if the Company filed separate federal and
state income tax returns.
 
 Minority interests
 
  Minority interests represent the proportionate equity interest of other
partners and stockholders in the Company's consolidated entities which are not
wholly owned. As of December 31, 1997, these included 29 active partnerships
and corporations.
 
 Stock-based compensation
 
  During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company adopted the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS 123). This pronouncement requires the Company to elect to
account for stock-based compensation on a fair value based model or an
intrinsic value based model. The intrinsic value based model is currently used
by the Company and is the accounting principle prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).
Under this model, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the stock at the date of grant or other measurement date over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The fair value based
model prescribed by SFAS 123 requires the Company to value stock-based
compensation using an accepted valuation model. Compensation cost is measured
at the grant date based on the value of the award and would be recognized over
the service period which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123 requires the
Company to either reflect the results of the valuation in the consolidated
financial statements or alternatively continue to apply the provisions of APB
25 and make appropriate disclosure of the impact of such valuation in the
accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.
 
  The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 to
their employee stock-based compensation plans and therefore has included the
required disclosure of the pro forma impact on net income and earnings per
share of the difference between compensation expense using the intrinsic value
method and the fair value method (see Note 10).
 
 Earnings per share
 
  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS
128"). The Company adopted SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997, as required
by this pronouncement. SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income before extraordinary item, and net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, earnings
per common share assuming dilution includes the dilutive effects of stock
options and warrants using the treasury stock method, in determining the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Not currently
used in the calculation is the effect of the Company's convertible debt of
$125,000,000. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the effect of
the convertible debt is antidilutive and as such, is not to be included in the
diluted EPS calculation. Earnings per share for all periods presented have
been restated following the provisions of SFAS 128.

                        TOTAL RENAL CARE HOLDINGS, INC.
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Interest rate swap agreements
 
  The Company has entered into two interest rate swap agreements (Note 8) as a
means of managing its interest rate exposure. The Company has not entered
these agreements for trading or speculative purposes. These agreements have
the effect of converting the Company's line of credit obligation from a
variable rate to a fixed rate. Net amounts paid or received are reflected as
adjustments to interest expense. The counterparty to these agreements is a
large international financial institution. These interest rate swap agreements
subject the Company to financial risk that will vary during the life of the
agreements in relation to the prevailing market interest rates. The Company is
also exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by this
counterparty. However, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the
other party, and no material loss would be expected from non-performance by
the counterparty.
 
 Financial instruments
 
  The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, investments,
accounts receivable, notes receivable from related parties, accounts payable,
employee compensation and benefits, and other accrued liabilities. These
balances, as presented in the financial statements at December 31, 1996 and
1997, approximate their fair value. Borrowings under the Company's three
credit facilities, of which $590,000,000 was outstanding as of December 31,
1997, reflect fair value as they are subject to fees and rates competitively
determined in the marketplace. The fair value of the interest rate swap
agreement is based on the present value of expected future cash flows from the
agreement and was in a net payable position of $49,000 at December 31, 1997.
The fair value of convertible subordinated notes was approximately
$149,700,000 at December 31, 1997.
 
 Foreign currency translation
 
  The Company's principal operations outside of the United States are in
Argentina. The currency in Argentina floats with the U.S. dollar, therefore,
there are no significant foreign currency translation adjustments. The
Company's operations in Europe were nominal through December 31, 1997.
 
 Use of estimates
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Unaudited financial statements
 
  In December 1995, the Company changed its year-end to December 31 from May
31. The information presented for the seven months ended December 31, 1994 and
the year ended December 31, 1995 has not been audited. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows
include all adjustments consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated results of operations
and cash flows for the seven months ended December 31, 1994 and the year ended
December 31, 1995.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

 12% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes
 
  In August 1994, the Company completed a public offering consisting of units
of 12% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes (the "Notes") and common stock.
Aggregate proceeds from the offering were $71,294,000, of which $900,000 was
allocated to the common stock, based upon the estimated value of the stock and
the remaining $70,394,000 to the Notes. The Notes had a stated maturity of

February 15, 1998, at a rate of 12% per annum. Prior to February 15, 1998,
interest was paid in kind through amortization of the discount. The discount
was amortized using the effective interest rate of 12.39%.
 
  On December 7, 1995, the Company redeemed 35% of the accreted value of the
Notes equaling $28,749,000 at a redemption premium of 111% for a total
redemption price of $31,912,000. An extraordinary loss on the early

connection with letters of credit, and up to $15,000,000 in short-term funds
may be borrowed the same day notice is given to the banks under a "Swing Line"
facility. Up to $75,000,000 of the available letters of credit or borrowings
under the revolving credit facility may be utilized for foreign financing. In
general, borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at one of two
floating rates selected by the Company: (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined
as the higher of The Bank of New York's prime rate or the federal funds rate
plus 0.5%); or (ii) Adjusted LIBOR (defined as the 30-, 60-, 90- or 180-day
London Interbank Offered Rate, adjusted for statutory reserves) plus a margin
that ranges from 0.45% to 1.75% depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
Swing Line borrowings bear interest at either a rate negotiated by the Company
and the banks at the time of borrowing or, if no rate is negotiated and agreed
upon, the Alternate Base Rate.
 
  Maximum borrowings under the $800 million revolving credit facility will be
reduced by $75,000,000 on September 30, 2001, $125,000,000 on September 30,
2002, and another $200,000,000 on September 30, 2003, and the revolving credit
facility terminates on September 30, 2004. Under the $250 million term
facility, payments of $2,500,000 shall be made each consecutive year beginning
on September 30, 1998 and continuing through September 30, 2006. The remaining
balance of $227,500,000 is due on September 30, 2007 when the term facility
terminates. The credit facilities contain financial and operating covenants
including, among other things, requirements that the Company maintain certain
financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests, and imposes limitations
on the Company's ability to make capital expenditures, to incur other
indebtedness and to pay dividends. The Company is in compliance with all such
covenants.

 Acquisition Obligations
 
  In 1994, pursuant to a business acquisition, RTC entered into an agreement
to pay $7,364,100 in annual installments commencing June 1995 through June
1998. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of the note accrued at an annual
rate of 6.50%, payable in arrears each June 1 from 1995 from 1998. The note
allowed the seller to convert the principal amount of the note into that
number of shares of common stock of RTC based upon the average daily closing
sale price of RTC stock during December 1994. During 1997, the note payable
was paid in full through the issuance of common stock.
 
  In 1996, pursuant to a business acquisition, RTC entered into an agreement
to pay a total of $8,050,000 in one installment in January 1997. During 1997,
pursuant to several business acquisitions, RTC entered into several other
agreements to pay the various Sellers a total of $24,468,000 in one
installment in January 1998.
 
  In conjunction with certain facility acquisitions, the Company issued three
letters of credit. Two of these were released on April 1, 1997. The remaining
letter of credit of $3,000,000 is being released to the seller in three annual
principal installments of $1,000,000 commencing January 1997. The Company has
also agreed to pay the seller interest at 6.5% on the outstanding principal.
As of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997 the aggregate amount
outstanding, including accrued interest, was $15,886,000 and $2,183,000
respectively.

9. LEASES
 
  The Company leases the majority of its facilities under noncancelable
operating leases expiring in various years through 2021. Most lease agreements
cover periods from five to ten years and contain renewal options of five to
ten years at the fair rental value at the time of renewal or at rates subject

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
 Public offerings of common stock
 
  On March 1, 1994, RTC completed a public offering whereby it issued
6,393,315 shares of common stock. The stock offering resulted in net proceeds
to RTC in the amount of $51,101,000 after the deduction of certain expenses.
 
  On November 3, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering of its
common stock at an offering price of $9.30 per share. The Company received net
proceeds of $98,294,000 after the deduction of underwriting discounts and
commissions and other expenses. The Company used net proceeds of $62,912,000
to redeem outstanding notes and to repay outstanding borrowings. The remainder
of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, de
novo facility developments and other capital expenditures.
 
  On April 3, 1996, and October 31, 1996 the Company completed equity offerings
of its 13,416,667 and 4,166,667 shares of common stock, respectively; 5,833,333
and 833,334, respectively, of which were sold for the Company's account and

Company's stockholders. The net proceeds received by the Company of $109,968,000
and $18,350,000, respectively, were used to repay borrowings incurred under the
Company's Credit Facilities in connection with acquisitions, to repurchase and
subsequently retire its 12% senior subordinated debt, to finance other
acquisitions and de novo developments and for working capital and other
corporate purposes.
 
 Change in shares, stock splits and dividends
 
  In July 1994, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,000 shares to
35,000,000 shares and to reduce the par value of such stock from $1.00 per
share to $.001 per share. Concurrent with this change, the Board of Directors
approved a 1,000-for-1 stock split. Shares held by Tenet were the only shares
affected by this action. Following the split, Tenet purchased an additional
4,888,890 shares of common stock for $4,400.
 
  Immediately following the public debt offering of 12% senior subordinated
debt in August 1994, the Company paid Tenet a dividend totaling $81,652,000.
The dividend comprised $75,500,000 in cash and $6,152,000 in the forgiveness
of Tenet's intercompany balance due the Company. Subsequently, the Company has
not made, nor is it intending to make, dividends to its stockholders.
 
  During October 1995 the Company's directors authorized an increase in the
authorized number of shares of common stock to 55,000,000, authorized
5,000,000 new shares of $.001 par value preferred stock, and approved a three-
into-two reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. All information in
these consolidated financial statements pertaining to shares of common stock
and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock
splits.
 
  Dividend distributions paid during 1995 and 1996 were to the former
shareholders of entities acquired by RTC in transactions accounted for as
poolings of interests as described in Note 1.

vesting in the event the Company meets certain performance criteria. In April
1996, the Company changed the vesting schedule for new options granted so that
options vest over four years from the date of grant. The exercise price of
each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of
grant, and an option's maximum term is ten years.
 
  Purchase rights to acquire 1,314,450 common shares for $.90-$3.60 per share
have been awarded to certain employees under the 1994 Stock Plan, the majority
of which were granted in connection with the change in control. All such
rights were exercised and the Company received notes for the uncollected
portion of the purchase proceeds. The notes bear interest at the lesser of The
Bank of New York's prime rate or 8%, are full recourse to the employees, and
are secured by the employees' stock. The notes are repayable four years from
the date of issuance, subject to certain prepayment requirements. At December
31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 the outstanding notes plus accrued interest totaled
$378,000, $227,000, and $212,000 respectively.
 
  During the year ended May 31, 1995, 1,477,778 of the options issued to
purchase common stock were issued to the Company's President. These options
originally vested 50% over four years and 50% in the same manner as other
options granted under the 1994 Stock Plan. In September 1995, the Board of
Directors and stockholders agreed to accelerate the President's vesting period
and all of the options became 100% vested. Pursuant to this action, the
President exercised all of the stock options through issuance of a full
recourse note of $1,330,000 bearing interest at the lesser of prime or 8%.
Additionally, the President executed a full recourse note for $1,349,000
bearing interest at the lesser of prime or 8% per annum to meet his tax
liability in connection with the stock option exercise. In April 1996, this
note was increased by an additional $173,000. These notes are secured by other
shares of company stock and mature in September 1999 or upon disposition of
the common stock by the President.
 
  1995 Stock Plan. In November 1995, the Company established the Total Renal
Care Holdings, Inc. 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (1995 Stock Plan) which
provides awards of stock options and the issuance of common shares subject to
certain restrictions to certain employees, directors and other individuals
providing services to the Company. There are 1,666,667 common shares reserved
for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan. Options granted generally vest over
four years from the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten years,
subject to certain restrictions. The Company generally issues awards with the
exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date
of grant.
 
  1997 Stock Plan. In July 1997, the Company established the Total Renal Care
Holdings, Inc. 1997 Equity Compensation Plan (1997 Stock Plan) which provides
awards of stock options and the issuance of common shares subject to certain
restrictions to certain employees, directors and other individuals providing
services to the Company. There are 4,166,667 common shares reserved for
issuance under the 1997 Stock Plan. Options granted generally vest over four
years from the date of grant and an option's maximum term is ten years. The
Company generally issues awards with the exercise prices equal to the market
price of the Company's stock on the date of grant.
 
  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for
grants for the seven months ended December 31, 1995, year ended December 31,
1996, and year ended December 31, 1997, respectively: dividend yield of 0
percent for all periods; weighted average expected volatility of 40.5%, 36.35%
and 35.12%; risk-free interest rates of 5.92%, 6.56% and 6.40% and expected
lives of six years for all periods.

  Forfeitures and grants include the effects of modifications to the terms of
awards as if the original award was repurchased and exchanged for a new award
of greater value. On April 24, 1997, 1,649,735 shares were cancelled and
reawarded at the market price as of that date. The new awards vest annually
over 3 years on the anniversary date of the new award.

  RTC Stock Plan. In September 1990, RTC established a stock plan, which
provided for awards of incentive and nonqualified stock options to certain
directors, officers, employees and other individuals. In 1995 and 1996, the
stock plan was amended to increase the number of RTC common shares available
for grant to 3,253,395 and 4,321,395 respectively. In addition, in 1996, RTC
established an option plan for outside directors pursuant to which
nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 80,100 shares of RTC common stock
were reserved for issuance.
 
  Options granted generally vest from three to five years and an option's
maximum term is ten years, subject to certain restrictions. Incentive stock
options were granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value
of RTC's common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options were
permitted to be granted as low as 50% of market value, subject to certain
floor restrictions. Accordingly, compensation expense for the difference
between the fair market value and the exercise price for nonqualified stock
options is recorded over the vesting period of such options.

  In May 1995, RTC granted 559,557 incentive stock options to certain
directors, officers and employees of RTC. These options were granted at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of RTC's common stock on the
date of the grant. These options vest over three years. Certain options
totaling 407,175 vest upon the earlier of attainment of predetermined earnings
per share targets or nine years.
 
  In March 1996, RTC granted 821,495 incentive stock options to certain
directors, officers and employees of RTC. These options were granted at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of RTC's common stock on the
date of the grant and vest over four years. Certain options aggregating
231,398 vest upon the earlier of attainment of predetermined earnings per
share targets or nine years.
 
  In December 1996, RTC granted 133,500 incentive stock options to an officer
of the Company. These options were granted at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of RTC's common stock on the date of the grant and were
fully vested on the grant date.
 
  Also in December 1996, RTC granted 40,050 non-qualified stock options in
connection with the release of RTC from certain obligations. The options were
granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of RTC's common
stock on the date of grant and were fully vested as of December 31, 1997.
 
  During 1997, RTC granted 1,182,543 incentive stock options to certain
directors, officers and employees. These options were granted at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of RTC's common stock on the dates of the
grants and vest in two to five years.
 
  In 1997 RTC granted 26,700 options to acquisition consultants for covenants
not to compete. These options were granted at a price equal to the fair market
values of RTC's common stock on the date of the grant and were valued at
$235,000.
 
  Upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding options were converted to
The Total Renal Care Holdings Inc. Special Purpose Plan (Special Purpose Plan)
options. The Special Purpose Plan provides for awards of incentive and
nonqualified stock options in exchange for outstanding RTC stock plan options.
The Special Purpose Plan options have the same provisions and terms as the RTC
stock plan, including acceleration provisions upon certain sale of assets,
mergers and consolidations. On the Merger date, there was a conversion of
2,156,426 of the Company's options. Further, options for 1,305,738 shares
became fully vested due to change in control accelerated vesting provisions
which were contained in the original grants. Options for 1,662,356 shares were
exercised subsequent to the Merger date. The Stock Plan Committee has the
option of accelerating the remaining options upon certain sale of assets,
mergers and consolidations.
 
  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for
the six months ended December 31, 1995, the year ended December 31, 1996 and
the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively: dividend yield of 0 percent
for all periods; weighted average expected volatility of 29.3%, 29.3% and 43%;
risk free interest rates of 6.39%, 6.18% and 6.55%; and expected lives of
6.00, 5.63, 4.29 years.

  Stock Purchase Plan. In November 1995, the Company established the Total
Renal Care Holdings, Inc. Employees Stock Purchase Plan (the Stock Purchase
Plan) which entitles qualifying employees to purchase up to $25,000 of common
stock during each calendar year. The amounts used to purchase stock are
typically accumulated through payroll withholdings and through an optional
lump sum payment made in advance of the first day of the Plan. The Stock
Purchase Plan allows employees to purchase stock for the lesser of 100% of the
fair market value on the first day of the purchase right period or 85% of the
fair market value on the last day of the purchase right period. Except for the
initial purchase right period, which began on November 3, 1995 (the date of
completion of the initial public offering, and ended on December 31, 1996),
each purchase right period begins on January 1 or July 1, as selected by the
employee and ends on December 31. Payroll withholdings related to the Stock
Purchase Plan, included in accrued employee compensation and benefits, were
$411,000, $1,790,000 and $1,120,307 at December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997
respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1997, 174,775
and 49,060 shares, respectively were issued to satisfy the Company's
obligations under the Plan.
 
  For the November 1995 and July 1996 purchase right periods the fair value of
the employees' purchase rights were estimated on the beginning date of the
purchase right period using the Black-Scholes model with the
 
                                     F-26

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
following assumptions for grants on November 3, 1995 and July 1, 1996,
respectively: dividend yield of 0 percent for both periods; expected
volatility of 36.6 percent for both periods; risk-free interest rate of 5.5
and 6.6 percent and expected lives of 1.2 and 0.5 years. Using these
assumptions, the weighted-average fair value of purchase rights granted on
November 3, 1995 and July 1, 1996 is $2.86 and $7.37, respectively.
 
  The fair value of the January 1, 1997 and July 1, 1997 purchase right period
were not estimated at December 31, 1997 because of the employee's ability to
withdraw from participation through December 31.
 
  Pro forma net income and earnings per share. The Company applied APB Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for all of its plans.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock
option plans and its stock purchase plan. Had compensation cost for the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS
123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced
to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

 Stock issued to employees outside of plans
 
  In connection with the change in control in August 1994, the Company awarded
its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer rights to purchase
1,855,555 and 222,222 common shares, respectively, at a purchase price of $.90
per share. These rights were awarded outside of the 1994 Stock Plan in
connection with the respective employment agreements. All such purchase rights
were made and the Company received notes totaling $935,000 for the uncollected
portion of the purchase proceeds. The notes bear terms similar to those issued
in connection with the 1994 Stock Plan.
 
11. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
 
  The Company provides dialysis services to Tenet hospital patients under
agreements with terms of one to three years. The contract terms are comparable
to contracts with unrelated third parties. Included in the receivable from
Tenet are amounts related to these services of $347,000 and $534,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1997,

                        TOTAL RENAL CARE HOLDINGS, INC.
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
respectively. Net operating revenues received from Tenet for these services
were $2,130,000, $1,332,000, $2,260,000 and $2,640,000 for the year ended May
31, 1995, the seven months ended December 31, 1995, and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
  Prior to October 1994, company employees were eligible to participate in the
Tenet Retirement Savings Plan, a defined contribution retirement plan,
covering substantially all full-time employees, whereby employees'
contributions to the plan were matched by the Company up to certain limits.
Defined contributions made by the Company for the year ended May 31, 1995
amounted to $152,000.
 
  Prior to December 1994, the Company was insured for employee health coverage
and a substantial portion of workers' compensation through self-insurance
programs administered by Tenet. Additionally, all professional and general
liability risks were insured by a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenet. The
Company has no liability for employee health coverage claims incurred prior to
December 31, 1994 or workers' compensation claims prior to August 11, 1994.
Insurance expense under these programs amounted to $1,409,000 for year ended
May 31, 1995.
 
 DLJMB
 
  An affiliate of DLJMB was the underwriter for public debt offering of units,
comprising Senior Subordinated Discount Notes and common stock, and DLJMB
participated in the change in control transaction in which DLJMB and certain
employees acquired 74% of the Company. Fees for these transactions were
$2,496,000 and $1,160,000, respectively. During the seven months ended
December 31, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1996 an affiliate of DLJMB
also was one of several underwriters for the initial public offering of common
stock as well as the two additional public stock offerings in which the
Company issued 11,500,000, 11,666,667 and 833,334 shares, respectively. Fees
for these transactions to DLJMB or its affiliates were $7,245,000, $5,075,000,
and $780,000, respectively. Effective with the August 1997 public offering of
common stock, DLJMB and it's affiliates are no longer considered a related
party.
 
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
  The Company has a savings plan (the Plan) for substantially all employees,
which has been established pursuant to the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan provides for employees to contribute
from 1% to 15% of their base annual salaries on a tax-deferred basis not to
exceed IRC limitations. The Company, in its sole discretion, may make a
contribution under the Plan each fiscal year as determined by the Board of
Directors. This contribution was allocated for the year ended May 31, 1995 to
each participant not eligible for participation in the 1994 Stock Plan (Note
9) in proportion to the compensation paid during the year and the length of
employment for each of the participants. For the year ended May 31, 1995, the
Company accrued contributions under the Plan in the amount of $200,000. The
Company did not make any contributions subsequent to May 31, 1995.
 
  RTC has a defined contribution savings plan covering substantially all of
their employees. RTC's contributions under the plan were approximately
$231,002, $462,004, $548,471, and $1,069,283 for the six months ended December
31, 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. Effective July 1, 1998, the plan will be terminated and merged
into the Company's plan.
 
13. CONTINGENCIES
 
  The Company's laboratory subsidiary is presently the subject of a Medicare
carrier review. The carrier has requested certain medical and billing records
for certain patients and the Company has provided the requested records. The
carrier has not informed the Company of the reason for or the exact nature or
scope of this review.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

  In connection with the RTC merger, fees and expenses incurred or anticipated
which are relative to the merger and to the integration of the combined
companies will be expensed as required under the pooling of interests
accounting method. Such fees and expenses amounted to $92,835,000 in the first
fiscal quarter of 1998. The charge includes financial advisory, legal,
accounting and other direct transaction costs, payments under severance and
employment agreements and other costs associated with certain compensation
plans and costs to combine the two operations. Costs to combine operations
include the impairment of certain systems and equipment, elimination of
duplicate departments and facilities, and other costs associated with planning
and executing the merger of operations. Included in other long term assets at
December 31, 1997 are $8,247,000 of deferred merger expenses.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
Stockholders and Board of Directors
 Renal Treatment Centers, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renal
Treatment Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Renal Treatment Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                RENAL TREATMENT CENTERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  Renal Treatment Centers, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
on August 11, 1988 for the purpose of providing dialysis services for End
Stage Renal Disease ("ESRD") patients in an outpatient environment or in the
patient's home. Additionally, the Company has acquired or entered into
inpatient dialysis service agreements with hospitals to provide dialysis
treatments on an inpatient basis.
 
  For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, 1997, approximately 68%, 62%
and 68%, respectively, of the Company's net patient revenue was received from
Medicare and Medicaid and other state administered programs. Accordingly, the
Company's operations and cash flows are dependent upon the rate and manner of
payment for patient services from third party payors, and, in particular,
federal and state administered programs.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Basis of Presentation:
 
  In February 1996, the Company acquired, through two separate transactions,
Intercontinental Medical Services, Inc. ("IMS") and Midwest Dialysis Unit and
its affiliates (collectively "MDU"). Each of the transaction s was separately
accounted for as a pooling-of-interest. The consolidated financial statements
of the Company include the results of IMS and MDU as of January 1, 1996. Prior
year financial statements have not been restated to reflect these transactions
because the impact on the Company's financial statements of such transactions
is not material.
 
  In July 1996, the Company acquired Panama City Artificial Kidney Center,
Inc. and North Florida Artificial Kidney Center, Inc. (collectively "the
Group"). The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared to give retroactive effect to the merger with the Group, since this
transactions, when combined with the MDU and IMS pooling transaction, was
deemed to be a material transaction.
 
  Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and related footnotes reflect the use of estimates based on
assumptions made by management. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
 
  Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
 Principles of Consolidation:
 
  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Patient Revenue and Allowances:
 
  Patient revenue is recorded at established rates on the accrual basis in the
period during which the service is provided. Appropriate allowances to give
recognition to third-party arrangements are also recorded on the accrual
basis. Payments to the Company under Medicare and Medicaid and other state
administered programs are based upon a predetermined specific fee per
treatment.
 
  The Company does not believe there are any significant credit risks
associated with receivables from Medicare and Medicaid and other state
administered programs. The allowance for doubtful accounts consists of
management's estimate of amounts that may prove uncollectible from secondary
insurers or patients.

                RENAL TREATMENT CENTERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Facilities Costs:
 
  Facilities costs include medical supplies, including Erythropoietin ("EPO")
supplies, salaries and benefits associated directly with the facility and all
other costs incurred by the facilities.
 
 General and Administrative Costs:
 
  General and administrative costs include all costs generated by the
Company's corporate offices (Berwyn and Argentina) and the regional office.
These costs include, but are not limited to, corporate and regional salaries,
rent for these office, accounting for legal fees and depreciation of major
information systems items such as the Company's accounting package and billing
systems.
 
 Inventories:

first-out method) or market and consist of dialysis supplies and prescription
drugs, such as EPO.
 
 Property, Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization:
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost or respective fair market value at
the time of acquisition. Equipment under capital lease is stated at the lower
of the fair market value or net present value of the minimum lease payments at
inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization are provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or
lease terms for leasehold improvements and equipment under capital lease. The
estimated useful life is five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment, 39 years for buildings, and five to ten years for leasehold
improvements. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Sales and retirements of depreciable assets are recorded by removing
the related cost and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains and
losses on sales and retirements of assets are reflected in the results of
operations.
 
 Goodwill:
 
  Goodwill, the excess of aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets of businesses acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis,
principally over 25 to 40 years.
 
 Patient Lists:
 
  Patient lists, arising from the purchase of renal dialysis centers, are
stated at cost and amortized over eight years using the straight-line method.
 
 Non-Compete Agreements
 
  Non-compete agreements, arising from acquisitions, are stated at cost and
amortized over the terms of the agreements, on a straight-line basis, over
periods from three to eleven years.
 
 Other Intangibles:
 
  Other intangibles consist of debt issuance costs, inpatient dialysis service
agreements, deferred financing costs, start-up costs and organization costs
and are stated at cost and amortized over one to eleven years using the
straight-line method. Start up costs consist principally of rent and utility
expenses incurred prior to the commencement of dialysis treatments , as well
as costs relating to the development of the renal diagnostic lab. These costs
are amortized over one year commencing with the start of operations.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  Management evaluates intangible assets for possible impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on certain financial
indicators, such as historical and future ability to generate income from
operations.
 
 Income Taxes:
 
  The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal tax return and
separate company state tax returns. Income taxes are provided for under the
liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109").
Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of differences between amounts reported for financial reporting
and income tax purposes by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to such differences. Deferred taxes results primarily from
temporary differences arising from a difference between the book life and the
tax life of certain assets. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred taxes
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
 
  Federal (and state, where applicable) income taxes for HCC and the Wichita
Companies (which are later defined) and IMS, MDU and the Group prior to their
acquisition by the Company were payable personally by the stockholders of IMS,
MDU and the Group pursuant to S Corporation elections under the Internal
Revenue Code.
 
 Prepaid Expenses:
 
  Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid
insurance, rent, various taxes and other current assets.
 
 Merger Expenses:
 
  The Company's policy is to defer expenses incurred in connection with a
pooling-of-interests transaction until the transaction is effective or
terminated. The Company has deferred merger expenses consisting of severances
and bonus payments, accounting and legal fees in connection with the merger
with Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc.
 
 Accrued Expenses:
 
  Accrued expenses consist principally of uninvoiced inventory, accrued
insurance and other miscellaneous accruals.
 
 Estimated Medical Professional Liability Claims:
 
  The Company is insured for medical professional liability claims through a
commercial insurance policy. It is the Company's policy that a provision for
estimated premium adjustments to medical professional liability costs be made
for asserted and unasserted claims and based upon the Company's experience.
Provision for such professional liability claims includes estimates of the
ultimate costs of such claims. To date, the Company's loss experience with
such claims has not been significant. Accordingly, no such provision has been
made.
 
 Cash Equivalents:
 
  For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. The cash of the Company is principally held by one financial
institution.

                RENAL TREATMENT CENTERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Investments:
 
  Investments were comprised of investments in corporate bonds and government
and government agency securities. Investment income is recognized when earned
and realized gains and losses are recognized on a trade date basis, computed
based on original cost. At December 31, 1996, the investments were stated at
cost, which approximated fair market value. All investments were managed by
one financial institution. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, all investments
were liquidated, resulting in an immaterial realized gain.
 
 Earnings per Share:
 
  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). This statement
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share is calculated using the average shares of common stock
outstanding, while diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if stock options and the earn out note were exercised. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. Prior period
earnings per share amounts have been restated in accordance with SFAS No. 128.
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Notes are not used in the
calculation as the affect is antidilutive and, as such, is not to be included
in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

non-compete agreements and goodwill. Goodwill, which is the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of net assets, acquired in connection with
the 1997 acquisitions was approximately $195,753,000 and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over 25 to 40 years.
 
 1997 Acquisitions:
 
  During 1997, the Company acquired 68 dialysis centers, including several
acute care contracts, in eight states and in the Republic of Argentina for
approximately $254.5 million in cash and the incurrence and assumption of
approximately $30.3 million of liabilities. The acquisitions included
substantially all of the non-current assets and certain current assets and the
assumptions of certain liabilities and capital leases of the centers.

  The Company's Credit Agreement provides for a $350,000,000 revolving
credit/term facility available to fund acquisitions and general working
capital requirements, of which $237,000,000 and no amounts were outstanding as

amended and restated and increased the credit/term facility to $350,000,000.
The revolving credit/term facility converts into a term loan March 31, 2004.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option,
at either (i) the agent bank's base rate payable on a quarterly basis or (ii)
a one-, two-, three-, or six-month period LIBOR rate plus .50% to 1.50%,
depending on the Company's ratio of consolidated debt to annualized cash flow,
payable at maturity, or, in the case of a six-month period rate, at three
months and maturity. The weighted average interest rate of all loans
outstanding at December 31, 1997 was 6.9%.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit up
to $10,000,000 provided that the aggregate of all outstanding letters of
credit plus the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all revolving
credit/term loans does not exceed the lesser of the total revolving
credit/term commitment or the patient borrowing base, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, at such time. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, there were no
letters of credit outstanding.
 
  The loans are collateralized by all stock of the Company's subsidiaries and
the assignment of all intercompany notes. The Credit Agreement limits
additional indebtedness, acquisitions, investments and dividends and requires
the Company to comply with certain other covenants and maintain certain
financial ratios. The dividend distributions presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Stockholders' Equity in 1995 and 1996 were paid to the former
stockholders of HCC, the Wichita Companies and the Group and were not subject
to the Credit Agreement limitation on dividend payments.
 
  In June 1996, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 5 5/8% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"). The Notes are convertible, at the

unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into Common Stock at a conversion
price of $34.20 principal amount per share, subject to certain adjustments.
The fair value of the Notes was approximately $149,687,500 at December 31,
1997. At any time on or after July 17, 1999, all or any part of the Notes will
be redeemable at the Company's option on at least 15 and not more than 60 days
notice as a whole or, from time to time, in part at redemption prices ranging
from 103.94% to 100.00% of the principal amount thereof, depending on the year
of redemption, together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date
fixed for redemption.

an agreement to pay the Seller, the Dialysis Centers Limited Liability
Company, $7,364,100, payable in annual installments commencing June 1995
through June 1998. Interest on the unpaid principal mount of the note accrued
at an annual rate of 6.50%, payable in arrears each June 1 from 1995 through
1998. The note allowed the Seller to convert the principal amount of the note
into that number of shares of common stock of the Company which shall be equal
to the quotient of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the note
dividend by the average daily closing sale price of the stock during December,
1994. During the first and second quarter of 1997, the note payable to The
Dialysis Centers Limited Liability Company was paid in full through the
issuance of the Company's Common Stock.
 
  In September 1996, pursuant to a business acquisition, the Company entered
into an agreement to pay Sellers. Columbus Regional Dialysis Center, Inc. and

acquisitions, the Company entered into several agreements to pay the various
Sellers a total of $24,467,922 in one installment in January 1998.

8. BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PLANS:
 
  The Company has a defined contribution savings plan covering substantially
all employees. The Company's contributions under the plan were approximately
$462,004, $548,471, and $1,069,283 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1996, and 1997, respectively.
 
  In September 1990, the Company established a stock plan, pursuant to which
incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be issued to
employees and others through the year 2000. The Company applies APB Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock plan. The FASB
issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123")
in 1995 and, if fully adopted by the Company, changes the method for
recognition of cost on stock plans. Although the Company has elected not to
adopt the cost recognition requirements under SFAS No. 123, pro-forma
disclosures as of the Company had adopted the requirements beginning in 1995
are presented below:
 


                                               1995        1996        1997
                                                           
   Net earnings--as reported............... $14,630,804 $10,682,399 $18,049,756
   Net earnings--pro-forma.................  14,165,049   8,350,485  11,072,010
   Earnings per share--as reported.........        0.67        0.44        0.73
   Earnings per share--pro-forma...........        0.65        0.34        0.44

 
  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for options granted for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996
and 1997, respectively, weighted average expect volatility of 29.3%, 29.3%,
39.75%, no dividend payments are made for the expected terms; average expected
term of 5.5 years for options that vest over time and 3 years for options
which vest immediately; risk free interest rate on the date of grant with the
maturity equal to the expected term; exercise price equal to the fair market
value on grant date. Options which have vesting provisions that accelerate
upon a change in control either in the option grant or through employment
agreements have been accelerated to 1997 due to the expected changes in
control on February 27, 1998.
 
  Incentive stock options may be granted at an exercise price not less than
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Non-
qualified stock options may be granted at an exercise price not less than the
lower of the book value of the Company's common stock or 50% of the fair
market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. Accordingly,
compensation expense for the difference between the fair market value and the
exercise price for non-qualified stock options issued is recorded over the
vesting period of such options.

customer. There are no transfers between geographic areas. Operating profit is
total revenue less operating expenses. In computing operating profit, neither
net interest expense, corporate expenses, nor income taxes were added or
deducted. Identifiable assets are those assets of the Company that are
identified with the operations in each geographic area. Corporate assets are
principally fixed assets.

15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130") established standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains,
and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. It
would require the Company to reclassify financial statements for earlier
periods provided for comparative purposes.
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of and Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131")
establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operation
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This Statement
is effective for financial statements for the period beginning after December
15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information for
earlier years is to be restated.
 
  The Company does not expect SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 to have a material
impact on the financial statements.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  In accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-up Activities", start up costs must be expensed as incurred. The SOP is
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company expects to
adopt this SOP in the first quarter of 1998. The Company expects to write-off
approximately $6 million of start-up costs previously recorded.
 
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
  On February 26, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved the merger with
Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. ("TRCH") which became effective on February
27, 1998 (the "Merger"). The Merger is expected to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. In connection with the Merger, each of the Company's
stockholders will receive 1.335 shares of TRCH common stock.
 
  The Merger constituted a "change in control" and resulted in certain
executives terminating their employment for good reason. In connection with
the Merger, these certain executives received severance payments and their
1997 bonuses totaling approximately $2,000,000; Merger bonuses of
approximately $4,600,000 and $8,850,000 for covenants not to compete. In
addition, 978,081 of previously issued stock options to employees, which had
an automatic change in control provision in the option grant, became fully
vested on February 27, 1998.
