ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURES

         On April 8, 2003, the company acquired certain assets from Gambro
Healthcare Renal Care, Inc. ("Gambro") under an Asset Sale Agreement for
$75,000, which assets include furniture, fixtures and certain dialysis equipment
and patient relationships relating to Gambro's outpatient dialysis facility
located in Adel, Georgia. We have established a new dialysis facility in Adel,
Georgia and assumed Gambro's lease. The Adel facility anticipates receipt of its
licensure in the near future.

         Certain assets were not acquired, and we did not assume any liabilities
other than our assumption of the lease and a medical waste service agreement.

         We obtained a non-compete agreement from Gambro and its affiliates
within a 15 mile radius of our new Adel, Georgia dialysis facility.
