               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     Basis  of  Presentation
       -----------------------

     The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  interim  consolidated  financial
statements  have  been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  for  interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q  and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  for  annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring
adjustments  necessary for a fair presentation of the information required to be
included.  Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended June 28,
1998  are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any
future  periods,  including the full fiscal year.  Reference should also be made
to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes thereto, and Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of Operations
contained  in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September  28,  1997.

     The  previous  year-end's  balance  sheet  data  was  derived  from audited
financial  statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted  accounting  principles.

2.     Net  Income  Per  Share
       -----------------------

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings per Share (EPS).
SFAS  128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of
all  income statements, for all entities with complex capital structures.  Basic
EPS  is  computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and
other  convertible securities.  This statement also requires a reconciliation of
the  numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  EPS data for the
period  ended  June 28, 1998 and all prior periods have been restated to conform
with  the  provisions  of  this  statement.

     The  following  is  a  reconciliation  of  the  numerator  (net  income)and
denominator  (number  of  shares) used in the basic and diluted EPS calculation:

7.     Discontinued  product  charges
       ------------------------------

     On  February  10,  1998,  the Company decided to discontinue its Healthcare
Information  Systems  (HCIS)  product,  LabStat  ,  while  retaining  the  HCIS
laboratory support and maintenance business.  The decision was made after it was
determined  that  continuing development and marketing of LabStat was not in the
best  interest  of  the  Company  and  its  shareholders and that all meaningful
discussions  with  possible  strategic  partners  had  ceased.

     The  Company's  decision  to  discontinue  LabStat  resulted  in a one-time
discontinued  product  charge  of  $12.9  million in the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  The  charge  was  a  consequence  of the Company determining that certain
assets  utilized in the development and marketing of LabStat had become impaired
as a result of the discontinuation.  The discontinued product charge, consisting
principally  of  non-cash  charges,  included  the  write-off of $6.3 million of
receivables,  $5.7  million  of  capitalized  software  and $.9 million of fixed
assets  that were specifically utilized in the LabStat product.  The Company did
not  incur  any material costs in the second or third quarters of fiscal 1998 in
relation  to  these  activities.

               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

     In  connection  with the Company's evaluation of its laboratory information
systems  business,  the Company also conducted an analysis of the recoverability
of  certain  assets  utilized  in  the Company's Digital Subtraction Angiography
(DSA)  business  and determined it was appropriate to write off certain of these
assets.  Accordingly, the Company included an impairment charge for these assets
of  $3.5  million  in  its results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  The  decision  to  write  off  the  DSA assets, consisting principally of
inventory,  was  a  result  of  steadily  declining  revenues  and the Company's
decision  to  no longer market the product.  The combined one-time write-off for
LabStat  and  DSA  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1998  was $16.4 million.

8.     Income  Taxes
       -------------

     The  Company  uses  the  deferral  method  to  account  for  income  taxes.
Valuation  allowances  are  established  when  necessary  to reduce deferred tax
assets  to  the  amounts  expected  to  be  realized.

     The  provisions  for  income taxes for each of the nine-month periods ended
June  28, 1998 and June 29, 1997 are based on the estimated effective income tax
rates  for  the fiscal years ending September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997 of
39.0% and 36.3%, respectively, excluding with respect to fiscal 1997 the effects
of  a  one-time  charge taken by the Company in the third quarter for in-process
research  and  development  and  other  acquisition  costs  and  expenses.

9.     Credit  and  Borrowing  Arrangements
       ------------------------------------

     The  Company  has  a  $60  million  revolving  credit  facility with a bank
syndicate.  The  credit facility offers borrowings in either U.S.  dollars or in
foreign  currencies  and  expires  July 30, 1999.  The Company pays interest and
commitment  fees  on  its  borrowings based on its debt level in relation to its
cash  flow.  Commitment fees range from 0.25% to 0.475% of unused commitment and
interest  rates  are  based on the bank's prime rate or Libor plus rates ranging
from  0.875%  to 1.5%.  Borrowings are generally repaid within 90 days.  At June
28,  1998,  the  Company  had  $27.3  million available for borrowing under this
facility.

10.     Litigation
        ----------

     The  Company  is a defendant in various legal proceedings incidental to its
business.  While  it  is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these
actions  at this time, management is of the opinion that any unaccrued liability
resulting  from  these  claims  would  not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of  operations.

11.     Acquisitions
        ------------

      In  October  1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Southern  Cats, Inc.  and its affiliates (Southern Cats) in exchange for 139,131
shares of the Company's common stock.  Southern Cats was an independent provider
of  computed  tomography  and  X-ray  equipment  refurbishment and service.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.

     In January 1998, the Company acquired CT Solutions, Inc. (CT Solutions) and
O.N.E.S.  Medical  Services,  Inc.  (ONES)  for  cash.  CT  Solutions  was  an
Independent provider of  computed tomography refurbished equipment and service.
ONES  was a provider of nuclear medicine service and refurbished equipment.  The
acquisitions  were  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of accounting.

     None  of  the  acquisitions  discussed  above are material to the financial
position  or  results  of  operations  of  the  Company.

12.     Recent  Pronouncements
        ----------------------

     In  June  1997, Financial Accounting Standard 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income"  ("FAS  130"),  was  issued and is effective for fiscal years commencing
after  December  15, 1997.  The Company will comply with the requirements of FAS
130  in  fiscal  year  1999.  The  Company is evaluating alternative formats for
presenting  this  information,  but  does  not  expect  this  pronouncement  to
materially  impact  the  Company's  results  of  operations.

     In  June  1997,  Financial  Accounting  Standard  131,  "Disclosures  About
Segments  of  an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), was issued and
is  effective  for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 1997.  The Company
will  comply  with the requirements of FAS 131 in fiscal year 1999.  The Company
is  evaluating  alternative  formats  for  presenting  this  information.

     In  October  1997,  the  American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA)  issued  Statement  of  Position  ("SOP  97-2"),  "Software  Revenue
Recognition". This SOP supersedes "SOP 91-1", Software Revenue Recognition.  The
Company  will  comply  with  the requirements of "SOP 97-2" in fiscal year 1999.
The  Company  is  currently assessing the implications of this new statement and
the  impact  of  its  implementation  on  the  Company's  consolidated financial
statements.


ITEM  2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF  OPERATIONS

     The  following  discussion  and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the  Company's  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and related Notes
thereto  contained  elsewhere  within  this document.  Operating results for the
three-month  and  nine-month  periods  ended  June  28, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods, including
the  full fiscal year.  Reference should also be made to the Annual Consolidated
Financial Statements, Notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual
Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  September  28,  1997.

     Previously  the  results  of the Company's Radiation Therapy Planning (RTP)
division  were  considered  immaterial  and  included,  for  the purposes of the
Management Discussion and Analysis, as part of Medical Systems. However, due to
RTP's  continued  growth, its results are now presented with the Company's other
software  business  (Healthcare  Information  Systems).  All historical data and
comparisons  have  been  restated  to  reflect  this  change.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THE  THREE-MONTH  AND  NINE-MONTH  PERIODS  ENDED  JUNE 28, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
THREE-MONTH  AND  NINE-MONTH  PERIODS  ENDED  JUNE  29,  1997

     Revenues  for  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal 1998 increased 17%, or $12.0
million, over the third quarter fiscal 1997 revenues of $71.5 million.  Revenues
are primarily generated from the sale and servicing of medical imaging products.
Medical Systems revenues represented 76% and 82% of the Company's total revenues
for  the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Revenues from the
Company's  Software  Business  represented  approximately  24%  and  18%  of the
Company's  total  revenues  for  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Year-to-date  revenues  increased 13%, or $26.6 million, over the $209.9 million
for  the  same period in fiscal 1997.  Excluding the discontinued product charge
associated  with  the write-off of the DSA assets in the first quarter of fiscal
1998,  gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $101.1 million,
a  17%  increase  over  the $86.2 million generated in the same period in fiscal
1997.  Including  this charge, gross profit was $97.6 million for the first nine
months  of fiscal 1998.  See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

MEDICAL  SYSTEMS

     Medical  Systems  includes  revenues from the sale of the Company's nuclear
medicine,  ADAC  Medical  Technologies  (AMT) and ADAC Radiology Solutions (ARS)
products, as well as customer service related to those products.  AMT is engaged
in  the  refurbishment  and  sale of nuclear medicine equipment.  ARS is engaged
primarily  in  the  refurbishment,  sale  and  service  of  third-party computed
tomography  (CT)  equipment.  Summary  information  related  to Medical Systems'

     Medical  Systems'  product  revenues  for  the three and nine-month periods
ended  June 28, 1998 increased 4% and 3%, respectively, over the same periods in
fiscal  1997.  Product  revenue  growth  was  driven  principally  by  sales  of
refurbished  CT equipment through the Company's newest business initiative, ARS.
Nuclear  medicine  revenues  remained  relatively  flat due to higher MCD  sales
offset  by  weaker  Asian  and Latin American sales for the three and nine-month
periods  ended  June  28,  1998  compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal
1997.

     Excluding  the  effects  of the discontinued product charge associated with
the  write-off  of  the  DSA  assets  in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, gross
profit margins for Medical Systems products increased to 42.1% in the first nine
months  of  fiscal  1998. Including this charge, gross profit margins were 39.5%
for this period.  This compares with gross profit margins of 41.1% for the first
nine  months  of  fiscal  1997.  See  Note  7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial  Statements.  Margins before the discontinued product charge increased
primarily  due  to sales of MCD which were partially offset by the lower margins
associated  with  the  ARS  product  sales.

     Medical Systems service revenues for the three and nine-month periods ended
June  28,  1998  increased  21%  and 23%, respectively, over the same periods in
fiscal  1997.  These  increases resulted from a higher number of customers under
service contracts and, to a lesser extent, from the Company's entry into the ARS
business  in  the first half of fiscal 1998 through acquisition.  See Note 11 of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  Service margins decreased
for  the  three and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1998, when compared to the
same  periods  in fiscal 1997, due to increased staffing, higher retro-fit costs
and  lower  margins  associated  with  ARS  product  sales.

SOFTWARE  BUSINESS

      ADAC's  Software  Business  includes  Radiation Therapy Planning (RTP) and
Healthcare  Information  Systems  (HCIS).  RTP  revenues are generated primarily
from  the  sale  and  support  of  the  Company's  Pinnacle3TM radiation therapy
planning  system.  HCIS  historically  generated  revenues  from  the  sale  of
laboratory,  radiology  and  cardiology  information systems as well as from the
provision  of  support for these products.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
the  Company  took a one-time charge of $12.9 million to discontinue development
and  marketing  of  LabStat  .  See  Note  7  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial  Statements.  As a result, HCIS' current revenues are derived from the
sale  and  support  of  radiology  and  cardiology information systems.  Summary
information  related  to the Software Business' product and support revenues and
gross  profit  margins  for the three and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1998
compared  to  the  corresponding  periods  in  fiscal  1997,  are  as  follows:

     Product  revenues  for  the third quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 80% over
the  same  quarter  of  fiscal  1997  due  mainly to an 87% increase in sales of
Pinnacle3.  Sales of the Company's radiology information system, QuadRIS, also
increased 65% over this period from $2.6 million to $4.3 million. The growth of
Pinnacle3  and  QuadRIS reflects greater penetration of the commercial sector by
both these products, and, in the case of QuadRIS, continued growth in government
sales  under  the  Company's  digital  imaging  network  -  picture  archiving
communications  systems (DIN-PACS) contract with the United States Department of
Defense.  Product  gross  margins  also  improved  over  the  same period due to
increased  sales of these higher margin products, and cost reductions associated
with  the  LabStat  write-off.  See  Note  7  of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial  Statements. 

     The  Software  Business'  support  revenues  increased  for  the  three and
nine-month  periods ended June 28, 1998 from the corresponding periods in fiscal
1997  due  principally  to  higher radiology support revenues.  Gross margins on
support  revenues  were  slightly  higher  for  the  most  recent  quarter  and
year-to-date periods due to an increase in the QuadRIS installed base, partially
offset by fewer support contract renewals from the Company's legacy client base.

</TABLE>

      Marketing  and  sales expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended
June  28, 1998 increased $2.4 and $3.4 million over the corresponding periods in
fiscal  1997  as  a  result  of  higher compensation costs.  These expenses also
increased  as  a  percentage of revenue from the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to
the  third  quarter  of fiscal 1998 as a result of an increase in commission and
bonus  costs.  Year-to-date  these  expenses  remained  flat  as a percentage of
revenue,  compared  to  the  same  period  in  fiscal  1997.

      Research  and  development  expenditures,  net of software capitalization,
totaled  $3.8  million  and $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and
1997,  respectively.  Year-to-date research and development expenditures, net of
software capitalization, were $11.9 million and $10.8 million in fiscal 1998 and
1997, respectively.  Research and development expenses for the nine-month period
ended  June  28,  1998 also increased on a gross basis when compared to the same
period  in  the  prior  fiscal  year.  This  increase  resulted  primarily  from
additional  investments  by  the  Company  to  maintain  and enhance its nuclear
medicine  products  and  QuadRIS.  These  additional  investments were partially
offset  by the decrease in costs associated with the discontinuation of LabStat.
See  Note  7  of  Notes  to  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The
increase  in  gross research and development expenses was partially mitigated by
an  increase in capitalized software costs to $2.0 million in the third quarter
of  fiscal  1998  from $1.2 million in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1997.

      General  and  administrative  expenses  increased in dollar volume for the
three and nine-month periods ended June 28, 1998, but remained substantially the
same  as  a  percentage  of  revenue due to higher sales.  Goodwill amortization
increased  as  a  percentage  of  revenue in the three and nine-month periods of
fiscal  1998 compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 1997 due largely to
the  acquisitions  made  by the Company in fiscal 1998.  See Note 11 of Notes to
Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.

      The  Company  took a one-time charge to operating expense of $12.9 million
in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1998  in  connection  with  its decision to
discontinue  LabStat.  See  Note  7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

     In  connection  with  its acquisition of Cortet, Inc. (Cortet) in May 1997,
the  Company  recognized  a  one-time, pre-tax charge to operations in the third
quarter  of  fiscal  1997 of $5.9 million for charges related to the purchase of
in-process  research  and  development and certain uncompleted acquisition costs
and  related  expenses.

      Interest  and  other  expense,  net,  which primarily consists of interest
expense  and  foreign  currency  transaction  gains  and  losses, decreased as a
percentage  of revenue for the nine-month period ended June 28, 1998 compared to
the  same  period in fiscal 1997, due primarily to foreign currency gains during
the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.

INCOME  TAXES:

      The  effective tax rate as a percentage of pretax income was 39.0% for the
first  nine months of fiscal 1998, compared with 36.3% for the first nine months
of  fiscal 1997, excluding the effects of the one-time charge taken in the third
quarter  of  fiscal  1997  for  in-process  research and development and certain
uncompleted  acquisition  and  related  costs  and  expenses.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

      The  Company  believes  its  available cash resources, generated primarily
from operations, lease financing and credit lines will provide adequate funds to
finance  the  Company's  operations  into  fiscal  1999.

      The  Company's  ratio of current assets to current liabilities at June 28,
1998,  was 2.0 to one, while working capital for the first nine months of fiscal
1998  increased  $12.2 million to $88.7 from $76.5 for the same period in fiscal
1997.

     During  the  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  1998,  cash used by operating
activities  was  $1.2 million.  This compares with $5.8 million of cash provided
by  operating  activities  for  the  same  period  in  fiscal  1997.  Operating
activities  for  fiscal  1998 consisted primarily of (i) an increase in accounts
receivable and (ii) an increase in inventory. Accounts receivable increased as a
result of  higher revenues, the lengthening of customer payment terms to meet
competitive  conditions, and delays in product installations and implementations
due  to  customer  site  preparation  and  other  factors,  which  delayed final
acceptance  payments.  Additionally,  weaker cash collections in Asian and Latin
American  markets  during  the  third quarter of fiscal 1998, contributed to the
increase in accounts receivable.  The increase in inventory was partially offset
by  an  increase  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities, all of which
resulted  from  increased  purchasing  to  support  the  higher  sales  volume.

     Investing activities used $13.6 million of cash in the first nine months of
fiscal  1998.  This  activity  consisted principally of software development and
the  acquisitions  of  CT  Solutions  and  ONES.

     Financing  activities  provided  $19.7  million  of  cash in the first nine
months of fiscal 1998.  This was primarily due to increased borrowings under the
Company's  revolving  credit facility and common stock issued to employees under
the Company's employee stock purchase and option plans.  At June 28, 1998, $27.3
million  remained  available for borrowing under this revolving credit facility.

      The  Company's  liquidity  is  affected by many factors, some based on the
normal  ongoing  operations  of  the  business  and  others  related  to  the
uncertainties of the industry and global economies.  Although the Company's cash
requirements  will  fluctuate  based  on the timing and extent of these factors,
management  believes  that  cash  generated  from  operations, together with the
liquidity  provided  by existing cash balances and borrowing capability, will be
sufficient  to  satisfy  commitments  for  capital  expenditures  and other cash
requirements  for  the  next  fiscal  year.  However,  the  Company  may need to
increase  its  sources  of  capital through additional borrowings or the sale of
securities in response to changing business conditions or to pursue new business
opportunities.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  such  additional sources of
capital  will  be  available  on  terms  favorable  to  the  Company, if at all.


BUSINESS  CONSIDERATIONS

      From  time  to  time,  the Company may disclose, through press releases,
filings  with  the  SEC  or  otherwise,  certain matters that constitute forward
looking  statements  within  the  meaning of the Federal securities laws.  These
statements including the forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q,
particularly  this  Item  2, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
which  could  cause  actual  results  to differ materially from those projected,
including  without  limitation  those  set  forth  below.  The Company expressly
disclaims  any  obligation  to  update  any  forward  looking  statements.

GOVERNMENT  REGULATION

     There  has  been  a  trend  in  recent years, both in the United States and
abroad,  toward  more  stringent  regulation  and  enforcement  of  requirements
applicable  to  medical  device  manufacturers.  The  continuing  trend  of more
stringent  regulatory  oversight in product clearance and enforcement activities
has  caused  medical  device manufacturers to experience longer approval cycles,
more  uncertainty, greater risk, and higher expenses.  There can be no assurance
that any necessary clearance or approval will be granted the Company or that FDA
review  will not involve delays adversely affecting the Company.  In addition, a
failure  to  comply  with  FDA  requirements  relating  to medical device design
testing,  manufacture,  packaging,  labeling,  distribution,  promotion,  record
keeping,  and  report  of  adverse  events  could  result in enforcement actions
including  Warning Letters, as well as civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions
or  losses  of regulatory clearances, product recalls, seizure or administrative
detention  of  products,  operating  restrictions  through  consent  decrees  or
otherwise,  and  criminal  prosecution.

     Following  an  inspection in 1997, Cortet, Inc., which the Company acquired
in  May  1997,  received  a  Warning Letter from the FDA concerning inspectional
observations  relating  to  the adequacies of Cortet's quality assurance system.
Cortet  responded  to  the  observations  and  the  Warning  Letter and received
correspondence  from  the FDA's Florida District Office indicating that Cortet's
responses  appeared  to  adequately  address  the  FDA's  concerns.

     The  State of California, under a contract with the FDA, recently completed
a  routine  inspection  of  ADAC's  facility in Milpitas, California.  The state
investigator  issued  a  FDA  Form  483 containing observations of objectionable
conditions,  including  alleged  violations  of the recently implemented Quality
System  Regulations (QSR) applicable to the manufacture of medical devices.  The
state  investigator  also  placed a temporary shipment hold on Pinnacle3 pending
the  Company  satisfactorily  responding  to  the State's concerns regarding the
Company's  quality  systems.  The  Company  has initiated appropriate corrective
actions,  is in the process of responding to the FDA and the State, and believes
it  will  shortly be able to satisfy their concerns.  There can be no assurance,
however,  that  a  Warning  Letter or further enforcement action will not ensue.
Failure  of  the  Company  to adequately address the concerns of the FDA and the
State  of  California  could  have  a  material  adverse effect on the Company's
business  and  results  of  operation.

     The Company is also subject to FTC restrictions on advertising and numerous
federal,  state  and  local  laws  relating  to  such  matters  as  safe working
conditions,  manufacturing  practices,  environmental protection and disposal of
hazardous  substances.  Changes  in  existing  requirements,  adoption  of  new
requirements  or  failure  to  comply  with applicable requirements could have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

COMPETITION

      The  markets  served  by the Company are characterized by rapidly evolving
technology,  intense  competition  and  pricing pressure.  There are a number of
companies  that  currently  offer, or are in the process of developing, products
that  compete  with  products  offered  by  the  Company.  Some of the Company's
competitors  have  substantially greater capital, engineering, manufacturing and
other  resources than the Company.  These competitors could develop technologies
and  products  that  are more effective than those currently used or marketed by
the  Company  or  that  could  render  the  Company's  products  obsolete  or
noncompetitive,  which  could  have  a  material adverse effect on the Company's
business.

DEPENDENCE  ON  NEW  PRODUCTS  AND  PRODUCT  ENHANCEMENTS

       ADAC's success is dependent upon the successful development, introduction
and  commercialization  of  new  products and the development of enhancements to
existing products.  Because the markets in which the Company competes are highly
competitive, the Company must continue to develop and successfully commercialize
innovative  new  products  and  product  enhancements such as MCD and MCD/AC  in
order to pursue its growth strategy. The development of new products and product
enhancements  entails  considerable  time  and  expense,  including research and
development  costs,  and the time, expense and uncertainty involved in obtaining
any  necessary regulatory clearances.  Failure of the Company to develop, market
and  sell new products and enhancements effectively in future periods could have
a  material  adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition.

FUTURE  OPERATING  RESULTS

      The  Company's future operating results may vary substantially from period
to period.  The timing and amount of revenues are subject to a number of factors
that  make  estimation of revenues and operating results prior to the end of the
quarter  very  uncertain.  The  timing  of revenues can be affected by delays in
product  introductions, shipments and installations, as well as general economic
and  industry conditions.  Furthermore, of the orders received by the Company in
any  fiscal  quarter,  a  disproportionately large percentage has typically been
received and shipped toward the end of that quarter.  Accordingly, results for a
given  quarter  can  be  adversely  affected  if  there  is  a substantial order
shortfall  late  in  that  quarter.  In  addition,  although  both the Company's
bookings  and  revenue  have increased in recent periods, the Company's bookings
and backlog cannot necessarily be relied upon as an accurate predictor of future
revenues as the timing of such revenues is dependent upon completion of customer
site  preparation  and  construction,  installation  scheduling,  receipt  of
applicable  regulatory  approvals, and other factors.  Accordingly, there can be
no  assurance  that  the  orders  will  mature  into  revenue.

RISKS  RELATED  TO  ACQUISITIONS

      In  the  past  fiscal  year,  the  Company  has acquired a number of small
businesses,  and  anticipates  that  it may continue to acquire businesses whose
products  and  services complement the Company's business.  Acquisitions involve
numerous  risks,  including,  among  other  things, difficulties in successfully
integrating  the  businesses  (including products and services, as well as sales
and  marketing  efforts), failure to retain existing customers of or attract new
customers  to  the acquired business operations, failure to retain key technical
and  management  personnel, coordinating geographically separated organizations,
and diversion of ADAC management attention.  These risks, as well as liabilities
of  any acquired business (whether known or unknown at the time of acquisition),
could  have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial
condition  of  the Company, including adverse short-term effects on its reported
operating results.  The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by taking reserves
when  appropriate  in  connection  with  these  acquisitions.  In  addition, the
Company  has  in the past and may in the future issue stock as consideration for
acquisitions.  Future  sales  of  shares  of  the Company's stock issued in such
acquisitions could adversely affect or cause fluctuations in the market price of
the  Company's  Common  Stock.

YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE

      Many  currently installed computer systems and software products are coded
to  accept  only  2 digit entries in the date code field.  Beginning in the year
2000,  these date code fields will need to accept 4 digit entries to distinguish
21st  century  dates  from  20th  century  dates.  Systems  that do not properly
recognize  such  information  could generate erroneous data or cause a system to
fail.  As  a result, in two years, computer systems and/or software used by many
companies  may  need  to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements.
The  Company  is  utilizing  both  internal  and external resources to identify,
correct  or  reprogram, and test its internal systems for Year 2000 compliance.
Although management is continuing to assess the expense associated with internal
Year  2000  compliance, the Company does not believe such compliance will have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's results of operations or financial
condition.

      In  addition, the Company is currently seeking to ensure that the software
included  in  its  nuclear medicine, healthcare information and other systems is
Year 2000 compliant.  Failure (or perceived failure) of such products to be Year
2000  compliant  could  significantly  adversely  affect sales of such products,
which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  results of
operations  and financial condition.  In addition, the Company believes that the
purchasing patterns of customers and potential customers may be affected by Year
2000  issues in a variety of ways.  Many potential customers may choose to defer
purchasing  Year  2000  compliant  products  until they believe it is absolutely
necessary,  thus  resulting  in  potentially  stalled  market  sales  within the
industries  in  which  the  Company  competes.  Conversely, Year 2000 issues may
cause  other  companies  to accelerate purchases, thereby causing an increase in
short-term  demand  and  a  consequent  decrease  in  long-term  demand  for the
Company's  products.  Additionally,  Year  2000 issues could cause a significant
number  of  companies,  including current Company customers, to reevaluate their
current  system  needs,  and  as a result consider switching to other systems or
suppliers.  Any  of  the  foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on
the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and  financial  condition.

HEALTH  CARE  REFORM;  REIMBURSEMENT  AND  PRICING  PRESSURE

      There  is significant concern today about the availability and rising cost
of  healthcare  in  the  United  States.  Cost  containment  initiatives, market
pressures  and  proposed  changes  in applicable laws and regulations may have a
dramatic effect on pricing or potential demand for medical devices, the relative
costs  associated  with  doing  business and the amount of reimbursement by both
government and third party payors, which could have a material adverse effect on
the  Company's  results  of  operations.

INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY  RIGHTS

      The  Company's  success depends in part on its continued ability to obtain
patents,  to  preserve  its  trade secrets and to operate without infringing the
proprietary  rights  of  third  parties.  There can be no assurance that pending
patent  applications  will mature into issued patents or that third parties will
not  make  claims of infringement against the Company's products or technologies
or  will  not  be issued patents that may require payment of license fees by the
Company  or  prevent  the  sale  of  certain  products  by  the  Company.

RELIANCE  ON  SUPPLIERS

     Certain components used by the Company to manufacture its products, such as
the sodium iodide crystals used in the Company's nuclear medicine systems, are
presently  available from only one supplier.  The Company also relies on several
significant  vendors  for  hardware  and  software components for its healthcare
information systems products.  The loss of any of these suppliers, including any
single-source  supplier,  would  require  obtaining  one  or  more  replacement
suppliers  as  well as potentially requiring a significant level of hardware and
software  development  to incorporate the new parts into the Company's products.
Although  the  Company  has  obtained  insurance  to protect against loss due to
business  interruption  from  these and other sources, there can be no assurance
that  such  coverage  would  be  adequate.

PRODUCT  LIABILITY

      Although  the Company maintains product liability insurance coverage in an
amount that it deems sufficient for its business, there can be no assurance that
such  coverage  will  ultimately prove to be adequate or that such coverage will
continue  to  remain  available  on  acceptable  terms,  if  at  all.

VOLATILITY  OF  STOCK  PRICE

      The  market  price  of  the  Company's  Common Stock is and is expected to
continue  to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in
anticipated  or  actual  operating results, market speculation, announcements of
new  products  or  technology  by  the  Company  or  its competitors, changes in
earnings estimates by the Company's analysts, trends in the health care industry
in  general  and  other  factors,  many  of  which are beyond the control of the
Company.  In  addition, broad market fluctuations as well as general economic or
political  conditions  or initiatives, such as health care reform, may adversely
impact  the  market  price  of  the  Common  Stock  regardless  of the Company's
operating  results.
