                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Swissray International, Inc.
New York, New York


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Swissray
International, Inc., and its subsidiaries, as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Swissray (Deutschland)
Rontgentechnik GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total
assets of $437,021 as of June 30, 1997 and total revenues of $1,255,140 for the
year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report
has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it related to the amounts
included for Swissray (Deutschland) Rontgentechnick GmbH, is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Swissray International, Inc., and
its subsidiaries, at June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
