Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On October 31, 1997, Dialysis Corporation of America (the "Company") 
concluded a sale of substantially all of the assets of two of its 80% 
owned subsidiaries, Dialysis Services of Florida, Inc.- Fort Walton Beach 
("DSF") (dialysis operations) and Dialysis Medical, Inc. ("DMI") (Florida 
Method 2 home patient operations), and an In-Patient Hospital Service 
Agreement with Columbia Fort Walton Beach Medical Center for in-hospital 
dialysis services and related assets ("In-Patient Agreement") of its 100% 
owned subsidiary, DCA Medical Services, Inc. ("DCAMS") (collectively the 
assets sold will be referred to as the "Acquired Assets" and collectively 
DSF, DMI and DCAMS will be referred to as the "Subsidiaries") to Renal 
Care Group of the Southeast, Inc. ("RCGSE"), pursuant to an Asset Purchase 
Agreement ("Agreement") by and among the Company, the Subsidiaries, Henry M.
Haire, M.D. ("Dr. Haire"), who owns the balance of the 20% interest in DSF 
and DMI, and Renal Care Group, Inc. ("RCG"), the parent of RCGSE.

     Dr. Haire was, until the closing of the Agreement, the medical 
director of DSF.  He is now medical director of RCGSE, which company 
purchased the Acquired Assets and is operating DSF's dialysis facility 
in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

     The Acquired Assets were exclusive of cash, prepaid expenses, claims 
for medicare reimbursement, intercompany indebtedness, tax refunds, if any,
and vendor volume discounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Much of 
the liabilities, except for obligations and liabilities arising from and 
after the closing of the Agreement under leases, contracts, commitments 
and agreements included in the Acquired Assets, were assumed by the 
Company.  The Company operates three other dialysis facilities in 
Pennsylvania with several others being completed, one of which is in New 
Jersey.  The Company also has several other in-patient hospital management 
agreements.

     The consideration for the sale of the Acquired Assets aggregated 
$5,065,000, consisting of $480,000 worth of RCG common stock (the "RCG 
Shares"), which at the closing of the Agreement on October 31, 1997, based 
upon the fair market valuation formula, amounted to 13,873 RCG Shares, and 
the balance of $4,585,000 was cash.  RCG has agreed to register the RCG 
Shares prior to October 31, 1998.  In the event the aggregate sales 
proceeds of the RCG Shares is less than $480,000, provided the sale occurs
within 30 days of their registration (if not registered then the sale is 
effected pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of 
the federal and state securities laws), then RCGSE has agreed to make up 
the difference in cash or additional registered RCG Shares, at its dis-
cretion.  The consideration for the transaction was determined by negotia-
tions between and among the parties to the Agreement based primarily on 
the patient base and the going rate per patient.

     The Company and its Subsidiaries made various representations and 
warranties as to themselves and the operations of the Subsidiaries and has 
agreed to indemnify RCGSE and RCG for any material breaches of such 
warranties and representations.

     The Agreement also provided for non-competition provisions by the 
Company, its Subsidiaries and Dr. Haire within the Fort Walton Beach, 
Florida area where DSF and its operations were located, for a period of 
seven years, and assignment of certain leases relating to real property 
and equipment.



     The Company plans to use the revenues of the asset sale to establish 
additional dialysis centers and acute management services, initially in 
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in other areas of the country.

                      DIALYSIS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
         NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)

     The pro forma unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of 
operations reflect the pro forma results of operations of the Company as 
though the Sale had occurred at the beginning of each period presented 
and reflects the removal of results of operations related to the business 
operations sold.  For purposes of the pro forma statements of operations, 
no assumption has been made that expenses have been eliminated which were 
included in corporate expense allocations by the Company and the Company's
parent, Medicore, Inc., to the business operations sold and which were 
included in the actual results of operations of these businesses.  Such 
expenses which amounted to approximately $70,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 and $253,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 have 
accordingly not been removed by the pro forma adjustments eliminating 
the results of operations of the businesses sold.

     The pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet reflects the pro 
forma financial position of the Company at June 30, 1997 as if the Sale 
occurred on June 30, 1997 and includes adjustments for the following items:

(A)  Proceeds of the Sale.
(B)  Elimination of assets sold and related liabilities assumed and 
     intangibles related to the operations sold.
(C)  Accrual of estimated costs of the transaction.
(D)  Estimated income tax liabilities resulting from the Sale.
(E)  Minority interest of approximately $528,000 in the net after tax gain 
     from the Sale and related adjustments.
(F)  Net effect of estimated after tax gain of approximately $2,700,000 
     based on pre-tax gain of approximately $4,400,000, related estimated 
     income taxes of approximately $1,700,000 and minority interest of 
     approximately $528,000 in the net after tax gain.

     The actual gain to be recorded as of October 31, 1997 may differ from 
the estimated gain reflected in the June 30, 1997 pro forma consolidated 
condensed balance sheet.

     No assumption has been included in the pro forma unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements as to investment income to be realized from 
investment of the proceeds of the sale or other use of the proceeds.  If 
the estimated after tax proceeds of $2,885,000, based on $4,585,000 cash 
proceeds at closing and estimated income taxes of $1,700,000, were assumed 
to have been invested in short-term treasury bills at the current estimated
yield of 5.15% for the entire periods presented pending decision as to 
other investment of the funds, estimated interest income of $74,000 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, and $148,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1996, would have been earned and pro forma results of opera-
tions would have been as follows, assuming no income tax applicable to the 
periods presented since the Company would have been in a loss position.
