07/17/95    Morgan Keegan         $19.25   4-4/V         In our opinion Pine's Board of Directors will
            & Company Inc.                               likely accept ASPEN's $18 per share offer and
                                                         we deem it highly unlikely a competing offer will
                                                         arise from another potential suitor.

06/21/95    J. C. Bradford         16.25   Buy           We are leaving our estimates unchanged but
            & Company, Inc.                              with the announcement of additional additive
                                                         transactions, the numbers may move higher. We
                                                         continue to rate PINE as one of our favorite
                                                         stocks and recommend purchase.

05/11/95    UBS Securities Inc.    15.88   Buy           Recent clinic roll outs, continued strong new
                                                         patient growth, and dramatically improved
                                                         profitability in the company's laboratory
                                                         services segment are supporting earnings
                                                         advances above our aggressive estimates.

01/26/95    UBS Securities Inc.    13.75   Buy           The key to investing in PINE hinges on low
                                                         investment community visibility, muted
                                                         expectations for near and longer term, and a
                                                         strong second phase of cost/profitablity
                                                         actions for longer term positioning.

10/31/94    Equitable Securities   12.50   Strong Buy    We estimate that the demand for kidney
            Corporation                                  dialysis will grow 9-10% a year.
                                                         PINE's reputations as a high quality provider
                                                         should enhance their ability to access managed
                                                         care volume.

10/25/94    UBS Securities Inc.    11.00   Buy           The Company's top line should grow 16%-18% as
                                                         de novo development and acquisitions augment
                                                         9%+ inherent industry patient growth.
                                                         Following a major turnaround in 1994, earnings
                                                         should grow roughly 40% in 1995 and 1996 and
                                                         level off to an annual 20% pace longer term.

09/08/94    J.C. Bradford          10.13   Buy           PINE is now able to demonstrate lower-than-
            & Company, Inc.                              average mortality and hospitalizations, key
                                                         indicators of clinical
