                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Impath Inc.:


   We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Impath Inc. as of December
31, 1994 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Impath Inc. as of December 31,
1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995



(1)       ORGANIZATION 

   Impath Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 1, 1988 under the laws
of the State of Delaware. The Company was organized for the purpose of
establishing a specialized facility dedicated to the use of the most
sophisticated technologies to provide diagnostic and prognostic information to
physicians specializing in cancer. The Company conducts these analyses by
utilizing immunohistochemistry, flow and image cytometry and molecular pathology
technologies. The Company's revenues are derived through:


   .      diagnostic and prognostic analytical services to hospitals, medical
          centers, clinical laboratories and physicians; and
          
   .      monoclonal antibody and molecular probe characterization services to
          biotechnology companies and other researchers.
          
   The Company submits its invoices for diagnostic and prognostic analytical
services to its clients, primary and secondary insurers, or individual patients.
The Company does not require collateral from its clients as security for payment
of its invoices.


(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a)    Cash Equivalents


     Cash equivalents of $477,360 at December 31,1994 consist of money market
funds in the amount of $427,360 and certificates of deposit in the amount of
$50,000. Cash equivalents of $1,494,976 at December 31, 1995 consist of US
treasury bills in the amount of $1,481,935, and money market funds in the amount
of $13,041. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

   (b)    Fixed Assets


   Leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures, laboratory equipment and
personal computers are stated at cost.  Depreciation of furniture, fixtures,
laboratory equipment and personal computers is provided over their estimated
useful lives (which range from three to seven years) using the straight-line
method, and leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the
related lease term or the lives of the improvements using the straight-line
method.

   Software development costs represent external costs capitalized for software
developed to meet the specific needs of the Company.  These costs are being
amortized over a three-year period using the straight-line method.

   (c)    Revenue Recognition

   Revenues are recognized on an accrual basis as earned at such time as the
Company has completed performance of its diagnostic or prognostic services.

   (d)    Goodwill

   Goodwill is being amortized over a 15-year period using the straight-line
method.

                                  IMPATH INC.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


   (e)    Deferred Registration Costs


     Deferred registration costs represent costs incurred through December 31,
1995, in connection with the Company's initial public offering (see note 13).

   (f)    Income Taxes

     Income taxes are provided pursuant to the asset and liability method as
described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.109 ("SFAS
109").  SFAS 109 requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under SFAS  No.109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the
difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective
financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in
effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.


   (g)    Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

     On October 31, 1995, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation that provided for a 1-for-2.8218735 reverse stock split of
outstanding common stock.  All common stock share and per share amounts
(including preferred stock conversion rates) in the accompanying financial
statements have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split.

   (h)    Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

     Pro forma net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the conversion
(calculated using the as-converted method) of the convertible preferred stock
that converted (see note 9) upon the completion of the Company's initial public
offering. Common equivalent shares from stock options and warrants are included
in the computation using the treasury stock method to the extent that their
effect is dilutive. All stock options and warrants issued within a one year
period prior to the initial filing of the registration statement (see notes
9(a), 9(b) and 13) relating to the initial public offering have been treated as
outstanding for all reported periods.


   (i)    Use of Estimates

     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.


(3)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     SFAS No.107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments.

                                  IMPATH INC.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


The fair value of the loan payable approximates the carrying value as its stated
interest rate is consistent with rates currently available to the Company for
similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.


(4)  BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS


          At December 31, 1995, approximately 50% of the Company's clients are
located in the Metropolitan New York area and in California.  Accounts
receivable from clients as a percentage of total net receivables at December 31,
1994 and 1995 are as follows:

aggregate amount of $1,000,000, which expires on June 30, 1996.  Borrowings
under the line are secured by and limited to 60% of eligible accounts receivable
and must be reduced to zero for at least 30 consecutive days during the term of
the line.  Borrowings bear interest at 0.5% over the bank's prime rate.  As of
December 31, 1995, there were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit.

    On September 21, 1995, the Company entered into a $300,000 term loan with a
commercial bank.  Borrowings are secured by the Company's accounts receivable
and a promissory note that requires repayment over 36 months using an effective
rate of interest equal to the bank's prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1995) plus
1.0%.  The outstanding indebtedness under  the loan at December 31, 1995 was

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                 --------------------------------------------

     Effective February 10, 1995, the Company sold 1,612,904 shares of its 8%
Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase
42,529 shares of its common stock at $3.50 per share for an aggregate sales
price of $2,000,000 (before issuance costs). The warrants are exercisable for a
period of six years. No value was ascribed to these warrants for financial
reporting as the Company believes such amount would not be material to the
accompanying financial statements. The warrants are considered to be outstanding
for all periods presented for the purpose of the calculation of pro forma net
income per share. The holders of this preferred stock may convert their shares
into shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Concurrent with the
issuance of the 8% Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and common
stock warrants, the terms of the outstanding Series A, B and C Redeemable
Preferred Stock were revised, resulting in the elimination of all previously
existing redemption rights, elimination of all previously accrued dividends in
the amount of $1,799,909 and a change in the future dividend rate from 9% to 8%,
which would be payable when declared by the Board of Directors or, whether or
not so declared, in the event of a liquidation or deemed liquidation, and
participation in liquidation on a pro-rata basis to common and preferred
stockholders on an as-converted basis. The holders of the Series D preferred
stock are entitled to preference in liquidation amounts. The available assets
would be distributed pro rata to common and preferred stockholders on an as-
converted basis.

     In June 1988 and March 1990, the Company sold 1,776,318 and 100,000 shares,
respectively, of its Series A 9% Convertible Preferred Stock (subsequently
amended to 8%) with a par value of $.01 per share for $1,350,000 (before
issuance costs) and $76,000, respectively. The holders of this preferred stock
may convert their shares into shares of common stock at any time. Each of these
preferred shares is convertible into .3543745 shares of common stock. The
conversion ratio is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain capital
transactions as defined. The agreements under which these shares were sold
contain anti-dilutive provisions and preemptive rights with respect to new stock
issuances.

     The holders of the Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive a cumulative dividend at the annual rate of 8%, commencing February 10,
1995, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, or whether or not so
declared, in the event of a liquidation or deemed liquidation.  Further, these
preferred stockholders shall participate in any dividends declared on the common
stock and shall be entitled to voting rights, on an as-converted basis.  The
liquidation value of each of these preferred shares is $.76 per share, plus
accrued dividends commencing February 10, 1995.


     In March 1990, the Company issued 668,182 shares of its Series B 9%
Convertible Preferred Stock (subsequently amended to 8%; terms are substantially
identical to those of the Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock) for an
aggregate consideration of $587,998 (before issuance costs). The holders of the
Series B 8% Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to preference in
liquidation over holders of the Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock. The
liquidation value of each of these preferred shares is $.88 per share, plus
accrued dividends commencing February 10, 1995.

     In March 1991, the Company issued 1,638,887 shares of its Series C 9%
Convertible Preferred Stock (subsequently amended to 8%; terms are substantially
identical to those of the Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock) for an
aggregate consideration of $1,475,000 (before issuance costs).  In June and July
1993, the Company issued 1,396,433 additional shares of its Series C 9%
Convertible Preferred Stock (subsequently amended to 8%) for an aggregate
consideration of $1,256,789.  The holders of the Series C 8% Convertible
Preferred Stock are entitled to preference in liquidation over holders of the
Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B 8% Convertible
Preferred Stock.  The liquidation value of each of these preferred shares is
$.90 per share, plus accrued dividends commencing February 10, 1995.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     Upon the consummation of the Company's initial public offering on February
20, 1996 (see notes 13 and 14), all preferred shares were converted into
2,548,933 shares of common stock.

     In October of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No.123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which must be adopted by the
Company in 1996. The Company has elected not to implement the fair value based
accounting method for employee stock options, but has elected to disclose,
commencing in 1996, the pro forma net income and earnings per share as if such
method had been used to account for stock-based compensation cost as described
in the Statement.

     (b)  Stock Option Plan

     In February 1989,  the Company adopted (and subsequently amended) a
Stock Option Plan, which provides for granting to certain key employees of the
Company, directors and consultants, options to purchase up to 884,688 shares of
common stock.  Options granted are exercisable over a period not to exceed ten
years.  At December 31, 1995, options to purchase approximately 533,357 shares
of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $.28 to $8.00 per share were
outstanding, 271,885 of which were exercisable.


     In August of 1995, four directors were granted options to purchase a
total of 42,528 shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share under the
Company's Stock Option Plan, which vest ratably over 36 months.  Management of
the Company estimated the fair market value of the underlying common stock to be
approximately $8.00 per share and, accordingly, recorded deferred compensation
of $191,000, which amount will be amortized ratably over the vesting period.  In
October of 1995, three additional directors  were granted options to purchase a
total of 31,896 shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, which vest
ratably over 36 months.  Management of the Company estimated fair market value
of the underlying common stock to be approximately $9.50 per share and,
accordingly, recorded deferred compensation of $191,000, which amount will be
amortized ratably over the vesting period.  All such options issued to directors
(and other options issued subsequent to November 1, 1994) are considered to be
outstanding for all periods presented for purposes of the calculation of pro
forma net income  per share.

     The following is a summary of option activity during the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995:

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



     The Company has reduced its valuation allowance against net deferred tax
assets in 1995 to increase the carrying value of such assets to the extent of
taxes that it expects to pay on estimated current year taxable earnings through
December 31, 1995. As a result, management of the Company believes that it is
more likely than not that future tax benefits will be realized as a result of
the reversal of its temporary differences.
