     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DIALYSIS CORPORATION OF AMERICA, a
Florida corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay the Principal
Sum (as defined below) to the order of MEDICORE, INC., a Florida corporation,
or its successors and assigns (hereinafter, with any subsequent holder, the
"Holder"), at its principal offices located at 2337 West 76th Street,
Hialeah, Florida 33016, or at such other place or to such other party as
Holder of this demand promissory note ("Note") may from time to time
designate in writing, up to the maximum principal sum of One Million Five
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($1,500,000.00) Dollars ("Maximum Sum") in
accordance with this Note, together with accrued interest on the Principal
Sum (as defined below)at the rate of 1 1/4% per annum in excess of the prime
rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal (the "Prime Rate," which term
plus 1 1/4% is referred to as the "Interest"), which Interest shall be
computed daily, with Interest calculated as of the date each Advance (as
defined below) is made by Holder to Borrower.  Advance shall mean those funds
advanced by Holder to Borrower in amounts of no less than Twenty-Five
Thousand and 00/100 ($25,000.00) Dollars, upon the detailed request of
Borrower solely for dialysis equipment purchases; and the Advances shall be
recorded and endorsed on the "Schedule of Advances and Payments" attached to
and made a part of this Note.  The failure of Holder to make any such record
or endorsement shall in no way detract from or add to Borrower's obligations
under this Note.  The Principal Sum shall mean all outstanding Advances to
the date of calculation of the Principal Sum.  All payments of this Note
shall be made in lawful currency of the United States and in immediately
available funds.  If the Principal Sum due under this Note is not paid in
full upon demand of Holder, Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to the
Principal Sum due under this Note, all costs of collection, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether suit is brought or not.

     Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the Principal
Sum, together with all accrued Interest thereon, at any time without penalty.
Upon the occurrence of Borrower's failure to pay upon demand by Holder, and
during the continuance of such default, the rate of Interest accruing on the
Principal Sum and accrued Interest shall be increased to a fixed rate of 5%
over the Prime Rate.

     This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall
Borrower be obligated or required to pay Interest hereunder at a rate that
could subject Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of
being in excess of the maximum lawful rate which Borrower is permitted by law
to contract or agree to pay.  If, by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at
any time required or obligated to pay Interest at a rate in excess of such
maximum lawful rate, the rate of Interest under this Note shall be deemed to
be immediately reduced to such maximum lawful rate and Interest payable
hereunder shall be computed at such maximum lawful rate and the portion of
all prior Interest payments in excess of such maximum lawful rate shall be
applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the
Principal Sum.

     Borrower waives all exemption rights, whether under any state
constitution, homestead exemption or otherwise, and also waives demand,
presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest valuation and appraisal,
notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and any other notice required to be
given by law in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Note, and consents to all forbearance or
waiver of any term hereof or release or discharge by Holder of Borrower, or
the failure to act on the part of Holder or any other indulgence shown by
Holder from time to time, in one or more instances (without notice to or
further assent from Borrower), and Borrower agrees that no such action,
failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy on the part of
Holder shall in any way affect or impair the obligations of Borrower under
this Note or be construed as a waiver by Holder of or otherwise affect any of
Holder's rights under this Note.
