ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- ---------------------------------------------

On October 6, 1997, Renal Treatment Centers, Inc. (the "Company") entered into
definitive agreements to acquire substantially all of the non-current and
certain other assets of California Kidney Centers ("CKC"), California Kidney
Centers, Orange, L.L.C. ("CKC Orange"), Dialysis Systems, L.L.C. ("DS"),
California Kidney Centers, Inpatient Services, L.L.C. ("CKCIS") and Dialysis
Systems, Inpatient Services, L.L.C. ("DSIS"),which together operate twelve
Medicare-certified end-stage renal disease dialysis facilities (collectively
"the Facilities") and provide acute inpatient dialysis services to 29 hospitals
in the service areas of the outpatient dialysis centers. CKC, CKC Orange, DS,
CKCIS and DSIS are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Sellers". CKC
operates nine facilities located in southern California. CKC Orange operates a
single facility also located in southern California, which commenced operations
in August 1997. DS operates two facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
Company will acquire all of Sellers' inventory, equipment, patient lists,
goodwill and other non-current assets used in the operation of the Facilities
and provision of acute services.

The foregoing transactions are expected to be completed in November 1997,
subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, including those required
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the approval of the
Attorney General of the State of California, and certain other contingencies.

As part of the transactions, the Company will also enter into covenants not to
compete with Sellers and their respective owners.  In addition, the Company will
enter into medical director agreements with, or receive assignments of current
medical director agreements from, the current medical directors of the
facilities.

The Company will pay aggregate consideration of $116,800,000 in cash, plus the
assumption of certain liabilities.  The Company determined the consideration
based on negotiations with Sellers and the Company's determination of the fair
market value of the assets of Sellers as a going concern, which recognized the 
recent growth in Sellers' business and the Company's expectations of future 
growth in the business.

The cash consideration will be funded entirely through borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit agreement with a consortium of banks.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Satellite Affiliated
Companies (Note 1) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related combined
statements of income, changes in owners' equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined 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 combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Satellite Affiliated
Companies as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

           Basis of Presentation

           The combined financial statements of Satellite Affiliated Companies
           (Companies) includes the operations of the following entities, all of
           which are direct or indirect investees (Affiliates) of Satellite
           Dialysis Centers, Inc. (SDC), a California not-for-profit
           corporation:

           California Kidney Centers (a California Joint Venture) (CKC)
           California Kidney Centers Inpatient Services, LLC (CKCIS) California
           Kidney Centers, Orange, LLC (CKC Orange) Dialysis Systems, LLC
           (DSLLC) Dialysis Systems Inpatient Services, LLC (DSIS)

           Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Board of Directors of SDC
           determined that SDC's charitable purpose would best be served if
           certain assets of the Affiliates were sold. After this determination
           and under the direction of SDC, efforts were initiated to identify
           potential buyers and to actively market the identified assets. These
           combined financial statements have been prepared to assist SDC in
           this activity. The assets expected to be sold are stated at
           historical cost, which is less than their expected market value.

           Nature of Business

           The Companies provide outpatient hemodialysis treatment, continuous
           ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, home dialysis treatment support
           services, and inpatient dialysis services to hospitals. Although the
           Companies' patients are individuals, accounts receivable for services
           provided are collected primarily from government agencies,
           predominantly Medicare. Additional amounts are collected from private
           insurance companies and individual patients.

           The Companies' operations are conducted in Southern California and
           Nevada.

           Significant Accounting Policies

           Principles of Combination:

           The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance
           with generally accepted accounting principles and include the
           accounts of the entities listed above. All significant intercompany
           accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
           Policies (continued)
           --------

           Revenue Recognition:

           Dialysis and ancillary service revenues include amounts for services
           reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid, MediCal, and other third party
           payors under contracted reimbursement formulas. Revenues are
           recognized when services are provided. Revenues are reported at the
           amounts expected to be realized from governmental, third-party
           payors, and patients based on reimbursement contracts in force when
           the services are provided.

           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 amounts reported in the financial
           statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from
           those estimates.

           Concentration of Credit Risk:

           Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to
           concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash
           equivalents and accounts receivable. The Companies invest their
           excess cash in a single bank. Deposits with this bank are insured up
           to $100,000 per depositor by an agency of the Federal government.
           Accounts receivable, which are unsecured, are primarily due from
           agencies of the United States Government (62%), the State of
           California (8%) and private insurance companies and hospitals (30%).
           Receivables from individual patients are not significant. Before
           providing services, the Companies perform insurance verification on
           all patients to ascertain adequacy of insurance coverage from
           government and private sources. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
           provided based on management's estimate of amounts which may prove
           uncollectible from private insurers or patients.

           Income Taxes:

           The combining entities are considered partnerships for Federal and
           state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the equity owners account for
           their pro rata share of the combining entities' income, deductions,
           and credits in their separate tax returns. As a result, income tax
           expense, assets, and liabilities are not recognized in the combined
           financial statements of the Companies.

           The Companies consider all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased
           with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
           equivalents.

2.         Acquisition of Dialysis Units
           -----------------------------

           In 1995, substantially all the assets of an operating dialysis
           facility located in San Bernardino, California were acquired for

6.         Refundable Service Fees
           -----------------------

           In August, 1993, the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
           Act of 1993 (OBRA 93) became effective. In April, 1995, the Health
           Care Financing Administration (HCFA) changed its interpretation of
           the OBRA 93 provisions regarding whether Medicare is the primary
           payor for certain End Stage Renal Disorder patients who are eligible
           for Medicare and also covered by an employer group health insurance
           plan. Because HCFA's reinterpretation was made retroactive to August,
           1993, the Companies began billing Medicare for amounts previously
           billed to private third-party payors under the old guidelines. Before
           any amounts were refunded to the private payors, a preliminary
           injunction was issued by a Federal court preventing HCFA from
           retroactively applying its reinterpretation of OBRA 93. The Companies
           have accrued a liability for amounts which it expects to refund to
           payors upon the settlement of this issue. The actual amount of the
           refunds may change depending on the court's action and any subsequent
           HCFA guidance.

           In addition to its long-term debt, the Companies have two revolving
           credit agreements with a bank that provide for borrowings up to a
           total of $800,000 for general working capital purposes. Borrowings
           under one agreement (up to $500,000) are unsecured and accrue
           interest at the bank's prime rate. Borrowings under the second
           agreement are secured by receivables, inventory, property and
           equipment of DSLLC and accrue interest at the bank's prime rate. The
           Companies had no outstanding borrowings against these lines at
           December 31, 1996 or 1995. These credit facilities expired in 1997
           and have not been renewed.

8.         Lease Commitments
           -----------------

           The Companies lease their dialysis facilities under noncancellable
           operating lease agreements which expire between 1999 and 2010. The
           leases require the Companies to pay insurance and property taxes on
           improvements. Rent expense under such agreements was approximately
           $1,165,000 in 1996 and $1,114,000 in 1995.

           The following is a schedule of the future minimum lease payments
           under all operating leases as of December 31, 1996 (in thousands):

9.         Impairment Loss
           ---------------

           In 1996, a decision was made to close a dialysis facility located in
           Anaheim, California in the first quarter of 1997. The Anaheim
           facility had been acquired in 1994 and, based on the original
           purchase price allocation, had unamortized goodwill of $1,448,000
           associated with it at June 30, 1996. In accordance with Statement of
           Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of
           Long-Live Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the
           Company wrote off this goodwill at June 30, 1996. The Company also
           recorded an impairment loss of $240,000, related to the net book
           value of leasehold improvements which will be abandoned at the
           Anaheim facility.

Affiliated Companies for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 appears on
page one. Those audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
combined financial statements taken as a whole. The information in Schedules
I-IV is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the combined financial
statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows of the individual companies. Such information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the combined financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.

         Basis of Presentation

         The combined financial statements of Satellite Affiliated Companies
         (Companies) includes the operations of the following entities, all of
         which are direct or indirect investees (Affiliates) of Satellite
         Dialysis Centers, Inc. (SDC), a California not-for-profit corporation:

                 California Kidney Centers (a California Joint Venture) (CKC)
                 California Kidney Centers Inpatient Services, LLC (CKCIS)
                 California Kidney Centers, Orange, LLC (CKC Orange) Dialysis
                 Systems, LLC (DSLLC) Dialysis Systems Inpatient Services, LLC
                 (DSIS)

         During 1997, the Board of Directors of SDC determined that SDC's
         charitable purpose would best be served if certain assets of the
         Affiliates were sold. After this determination and under the direction
         of SDC, efforts were initiated to identify potential buyers and to
         actively market the identified assets. These combined financial
         statements have been prepared to assist SDC in this activity. The
         assets expected to be sold are stated at historical cost, which is less
         than their expected market value.

         Nature of Business

         The Companies provide outpatient hemodialysis treatment, continuous
         ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, home dialysis treatment support
         services, and inpatient dialysis services to hospitals. Although the
         Companies' patients are individuals, accounts receivable for services
         provided are collected primarily from government agencies,
         predominantly Medicare. Additional amounts are collected from private
         insurance companies and individual patients.

         The Companies' operations are conducted in Southern California and
         Nevada.

         Significant Accounting Policies

         Principles of Combination:

         The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of
         the entities listed above. All significant intercompany accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated.


                      See Accountants' Compilation Report

         --------------------------------------------------------------------- 
         Policies (continued)
         --------

         Revenue Recognition:

         Dialysis and ancillary service revenues include amounts for services
         reimbursable by Medicare, Medicaid, MediCal, and other third party
         payors under contracted reimbursement formulas. Revenues are recognized
         when services are provided. Revenues are reported at the amount
         expected to be realized from governmental, third-party payors, and
         patients based on reimbursement contracts in force when the services
         are provided.

         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 amounts reported in the financial
         statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those
         estimates.

         Concentration of Credit Risk:

         Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to
         concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash
         equivalents and accounts receivable. The Companies invest their excess
         cash in a single bank. Deposits with this bank are insured up to
         $100,000 per depositor by an agency of the Federal government. Accounts
         receivable, which are unsecured, are primarily due from agencies of the
         United States Government (65%), the State of California (9%) and
         private insurance companies and hospitals (26%). Receivables from
         individual patients are not significant. Before providing services, the
         Companies perform insurance verification on all patients to ascertain
         adequacy of insurance coverage from government and private sources. An
         allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on management's
         estimate of amounts which may prove uncollectible from private insurers
         or patients.

         Income Taxes:

         The combining entities are considered partnerships for Federal and
         state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the equity owners account for
         their pro rata share of the combining entities' income, deductions, and
         credits in their separate tax returns. As a result, income tax expense,
         assets, and liabilities are not recognized in the combined financial
         statements of the Companies.

5.       Refundable Service Fees
         -----------------------
 
         In August, 1993, the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
         Act of 1993 (OBRA 93) became effective. In April, 1995, the Health Care
         Financing Administration (HCFA) changed its interpretation of the OBRA
         93 provisions regarding whether Medicare is the primary payor for
         certain End Stage Renal Disorder patients who are eligible for Medicare
         and also covered by an employer group health insurance plan. Because
         HCFA's reinterpretation was made retroactive to August, 1993, the
         Companies began billing Medicare for amounts previously billed to
         private third-party payors under the old guidelines. Before any amounts
         were refunded to the private payors, a preliminary injunction was
         issued by a Federal court preventing HCFA from retroactively applying
         its reinterpretation of OBRA 93. The Companies have accrued a liability
         for amounts which it expects to refund to payors upon the settlement of
         this issue. The actual amount of the refunds may change depending on
         the court's action and any subsequent HCFA guidance.

         In addition to its long-term debt, the Companies have two revolving
         credit agreements with a bank that provides for borrowings up to a
         total of $800,000 for general working capital purposes. Borrowings
         under one agreement (up to $500,000) are unsecured and accrue interest
         at the bank's prime rate. Borrowings under the second agreement are
         secured by receivables, inventory, property and equipment of DSLLC and
         accrue interest at the bank's prime rate. The Companies had no
         outstanding borrowings against these lines at June 30, 1997 or 1996.
         Subsequent to June 30, 1997, these credit facilities expired and were
         not renewed.

         The Companies lease their dialysis facilities under noncancellable
         operating lease agreements which expire between 1999 and 2010. The
         leases require the Companies to pay insurance and property taxes on
         improvements. Rent expense under such agreements was approximately
         $652,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $604,000 for the
         six months ended June 30, 1996.

         acquired in 1994 and, based on the original purchase price allocation,
         had unamortized goodwill of $1,448,000 associated with it at June 30,
         1996. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
         Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the Company wrote off this
         goodwill at June 30, 1996. The Company also recorded an impairment loss
         of $240,000, related to the net book value of leasehold improvements
         which will be abandoned at the Anaheim facility.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


On October 6, 1997, Renal Treatment Centers, Inc. (the "Company") entered into
definitive agreements to acquire substantially all of the non-current and
certain other assets of California Kidney Centers ("CKC"), California Kidney
Centers, Orange, L.L.C. ("CKC Orange"), Dialysis Systems, L.L.C. ("DS"),
California Kidney Centers, Inpatient Services, L.L.C.  ("CKCIS") and Dialysis
Systems, Inpatient Services, L.L.C. ("DSIS"),which together operate twelve
Medicare-certified end-stage renal disease dialysis facilities (collectively
"the Facilities") and provide acute inpatient dialysis services to 29 hospitals
in the service areas of the outpatient dialysis centers.  CKC, CKC Orange, DS,
CKCIS and DSIS are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Sellers". CKC
operates nine facilities located in southern California. CKC Orange operates a
single facility also located in southern California, which commenced operations
in August 1997. DS operates two facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
Company will acquire all of the Sellers' inventory, equipment, patient lists,
goodwill and other non-current assets used in the operation of the Facilities
and provision of acute services.

The foregoing transactions are expected to be completed in November 1997,
subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, including those required
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the approval of the
Attorney General of the State of California, and certain other contingencies.

As part of the transactions, the Company will also enter into covenants not to
compete with Sellers and their respective owners.  In addition, the Company will
enter into medical director agreements with, or receive assignments of current
medical director agreements from, the current medical directors of the
facilities.

The Company will pay aggregate consideration of $116,800,000 in cash, plus the
assumption of certain liabilities. The Company determined the consideration
based on negotiations with Sellers and the Company's determination of the fair
market value of the assets of the Sellers as a going concern, which recognized
the recent growth in Seller' business and the Company's expectation of future
growth in the business.

The cash consideration will be funded entirely through borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit agreement with a consortium of banks.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented to illustrate (i) the
pro forma effects on the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and (ii)
the pro forma effects on the Company's results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as if the
foregoing transaction had occurred on January 1, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma
financial statements include adjustments resulting from the use of the purchase
method of accounting and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined
financial position or results of operations would have been had the transaction
occurred on January 1, 1996, nor are they necessarily indicative of future
results of the combined entities.

Certain pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair
values of assets acquired and are thus subject to change.

Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheets
- ----------------------------------------------------

(1)  Adjusts assets to fair market value and eliminates certain assets and
     liabilities of Sellers not assumed by the Company in connection with the
     acquisition.

(2)  Reflects an increase in long-term debt to account for payment of the
     purchase price.

 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------

(A)  CKC Orange did not commence operations until August 1997, therefore no 
     amounts are included for CKC Orange.

(B)  Reflects adjustments to properly classify bad debt expense.

(C)  Reflects adjustment to eliminate management fees incurred by Sellers.

(D)  Reflects depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the
     revaluation required by the purchase method of accounting for fixed assets
     and intangible assets of $4,516,514 and $2,258,257, respectively, offset by
     Sellers' historical depreciation and amortization of $2,163,000 and
     $1,003,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the six months
     ended June 30, 1997, respectively. Also reflects additional amortization
     over a 25-year period of the excess cost over net assets acquired of
     $3,213,240 and $1,606,620 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the
     six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as if Sellers were acquired
     as of January 1, 1996.

(E)  Reflects an adjustment to interest expense to account for long-term debt
     incurred in connection with the acquisition, as well as the elimination of
     interest expense on borrowings not assumed by the Company.

(F)  Reflects the adjustments to income taxes which would have been provided on
     pro forma income before taxes.

(G)  Pro forma net income per common and common stock equivalents is computed by
     dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average number of common and
     common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
