1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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

presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
that  may be  expected  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1996.  For  further

average  number of common  shares  outstanding  after  considering  the dilutive
effect of stock options and warrants.

Siemens has asserted a claim against the Company  regarding the lapse of certain
foreign  registrations  of one of the patents assigned to Siemens by the Company
in  connection  with the March 31, 1995  agreement  between the  companies.  The
technology  involved in the patent is not used presently in any of the Company's
products.  The Company believes that it can provide patent to Siemens to replace
the lapsed  patent.  While the resolution of the claim is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's  financial position,  it could however,  have a
material  effect on the results of operations  of a particular  future period if
resolved unfavorably.

7.   JOINT VENTURE

As of September 30, 1996  Imatron's  interest in the Joint Venture is carried in
the accompanying  financial statements at no value. The Company has no financial
commitments  to the Joint Venture and is prepared to abandon its  interest.  The
Company  intends to carry  this  investment  at no value  until such time as the
Joint  Venture  can  demonstrate  that it will  be  able to  sustain  profitable
operations.  Once profitable operations are sustained,  the Company will account
for the Joint Venture  investment  on the equity  method.  Summarized  financial
information  for  the  Joint  Venture  is  not  included  in  the  notes  to the
consolidated  financial  statements  for the period ended or as of September 30,
1996,  as such  information  is not  considered  material to the  operations  of
Imatron Inc.

Venture between the Company and Imatron Japan K.K.:

Imatron Inc remains the owner of 100,000  shares of Heartscan Series B Preferred
stock which represents a 48.3% ownership in Heartscan at September 30, 1996.

The  Heartscan  Series A Preferred  stock may be exchanged at the sole option of
the holders into Imatron common stock at an exchange price of $5.00 per share of
Imatron  Common  stock  until the earlier of a) the  conclusion  of the two year
period  following  the closing date of the  Preferred  Stock  offering;  or b) a
Heartscan  initial public  offering at a market  capitalization  of no less than
$15,000,000.  If there is no initial public  offering of Heartscan  Common stock
within 24 months of the  Preferred  Stock  closing,  the holders may convert the
Heartscan  Series A Preferred  stock into  Imatron  common stock at a conversion
price equal to 73% of the weighted average closing price of Imatron Common Stock
for the 90 day period  immediately  preceding the pricing date,  but in no event
shall the conversion price be less than $1.50.

Heartscan  Series A & B Preferred  stock issued and  outstanding  shall have the
right to vote with the  holders of Common  stock on all  matters,  each share of
Preferred  stock having that number of votes equal to the number of common stock
shares into which the Preferred stock is convertible.

Effective  July 1, 1996,  Imatron  did not have a majority  voting  interest  in
Heartscan  and,  therefore,  has changed its method of accounting  for HeartScan
from  consolidation  basis to accounting for its investment using equity method.
For  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  HeartScan's  losses  were
$1,148,000 of which $554,000 (or 48.3%) was recognized by Imatron Inc. as a loss
on its equity investment.

If at some  future  point  in time  sufficient  shares  of  Heartscan  Series  A
Preferred  stock are  exchanged  into shares of Imatron  Common  stock such that
Imatron  controls  the  equivalent  of 50% or greater of the shares of Heartscan
Common stock, Imatron will fully consolidate Heartscan's financial statements.

Had Imatron controlled more than 50% of the shares of Common stock of Heartscan,
as  of  September  30,  1996,   Imatron's  third  quarter  results  on  a  fully
consolidated  basis would be  $8,991,000 in revenues and $155,000 in net income.
Following,  are Imatron's proforma financial statements as if HeartScan had been
fully  consolidated and the Heartscan Series A Preferred stock was accounted for
as minority interest as of September 30, 1996.

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

Results of Operations:

                Three months ended September 30, 1996 versus 1995

Overall  revenues for the third quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 of $8,929,000
increased  $6,224,000  or 230%  compared  to 1995  revenues of  $2,705,000.  Net
product revenues increased to $6,545,000 from $244,000 in 1995 primarily because
of increases  in scanner  shipments  from zero in 1995 to four in 1996.  Service
revenues remained flat in 1996 due to an increase in service contracts which was
offset by a  decrease  in spares  shipments.  Development  contract  revenue  is
consistent  with the three year  Memorandum of  Understanding  entered into with
Siemens  in  March  1995.  Clinic  revenues  related  to the  Heartscan  Imaging
subsidiary  is no longer  being  reported  as a result of the  recent  Heartscan
private placement decreasing the ownership in Heartscan by Imatron to a minority
ownership (See footnote #8).

Total cost of revenues as a percent of revenues for the third quarter of 1996 is
lower at 77% as  compared  with  136% in 1995.  Product  cost of  revenues  as a
percent of product  revenues  decreased  to 77% in 1996 from 409% in 1995 due to
shipment of four  scanners  with higher  margins  compared to zero  shipments in
1995.  Service  cost of  revenues  as a  percent  of  service  revenue  slightly
decreased to 86% in 1996 from 92% in 1995. Development contract revenue and cost
of  revenue  is  equal  due to  the  terms  of  the  three  year  Memorandum  of
Understanding with Siemens.

Operating  expenses of  $2,050,000  increased  $271,000 or 13%  compared to 1995
expenses of $2,119,000.  R&D expenses of $879,000 in 1996 reflect the portion of
R&D  spending  not covered by the Siemens  research  and  development  contract.
Selling  expenses  remained flat as compared to 1995 due to commissions  paid on
the sale of C-150 scanner to Japan offset by the exclusion of Heartscan expenses
during the third quarter as a result of the recent Heartscan  private  placement
decreasing  the  ownership in Heartscan by Imatron to a minority  interest  (See
footnote  #8).  Administrative  expenses  increased  $131,000 to $823,000 due to
increases  in bank  fees  related  to the Exim  Bank  credit  line and  investor
relations expenses. These were also partially offset by the non-consolidation of
Heartscan administrative expenses during third quarter.

                Nine months ended September 30, 1996 versus 1995

Overall  revenues  for the  nine  months  ended  1996 of  $21,382,000  increased
$1,658,000  or 8% compared to  revenues  of  $19,724,000  for the same period in
1995.  Net  product  revenues,  including  $1,774,000  under the  sale-leaseback
arrangements,  increased 37% to $14,336,000 in 1996 from $10,485,000 in 1995 due
to nine  scanners  shipped in 1996 compared to seven in 1995.  Service  revenues
decreased  41% to  $2,722,000  in 1996 due primarily to a lower volume of spares
shipments. The decrease in the development contract revenue of 15% to $3,750,000
in 1996  resulted  from the lower  revenue  recognized  under the  Memorandum of
Understanding  entered into with Siemens as compared to the previous development
agreement  terminated in March 1995.  Clinic  revenues  related to the Heartscan
reflect the amount prior to the sale of the  majority  ownership of Heartscan to
unaffiliated third party (See footnote #8).

Total cost of revenues as a percent of  revenues  for nine months  ended 1996 at
89%, the same as 1995.  Product  cost of  revenues  as a  percent  of  product
revenues  decreased  to 82% in 1996  from  88% in 1995  due  higher  margins  on
scanners  shipped.  Service  cost of revenues  as a percent of service  revenues
increased  to 90% in 1996 from 71% 1995 due  primarily  to a decrease  in spares
shipments.  Development  contract  cost of  revenues  is  equal  to the  revenue
recognized  under the Memorandum of Understanding  with Siemens.  Clinic cost of
revenues as a percent of clinic revenues  decreased to 168% in 1996 from 365% in
1995 due to the exclusion of clinic  revenues and expenses for the third quarter
ended 1996 as a result of the recent HeartScan private placement  decreasing the
ownership in HeartScan by Imatron to a minority ownership (See footnote #8).

Operating  expenses of  $7,710,000 in 1996  increased  $1,102,000 or 17% in 1995
expenses of  $6,608,000.  R&D expenses of $2,380,000 in 1996 reflect the portion
of R&D spending not related to the Siemens  research and  development  contract.
Selling expenses  increased to $2,669,000 in 1996 from $2,208,000 in 1995 due to
higher marketing  expenses  incurred by Heartscan Imaging prior to the Heartscan
private placement.  Administrative expenses increased $800,000 to $2,661,000 due
to increases in investor relations expenses and overhead expenses related to the
establishment of new Heartscan clinics prior to the Heartscan private placement.

Other income  decreased to $2,083,000 in 1996 due to the $4,000,000  recorded in
1995  for  the  transfer  of  five  Imatron  EBT  patents  to  Siemens  and  the
cancellation  of  Siemens'  existing  minimum  purchase  obligations  under  the
previous  distribution  agreement.  This was partially  offset by income derived
from the sale of 59,090 shares of Invision  Technologies  common stock at $30.00
per share or a total of $1,756,000.

The increase in interest expense is related to the capital lease obligations for
certain equipment entered into by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At September 30, 1996 the Company has a working capital of $26,216,000 which was
390% increase  compared to the working  capital of  $14,252,000  at December 31,
1995. The current ratio increased to 3.7:1 from 2.4:1 at December 31, 1995.

The  Company's  assets  increased  in 1996  by 26% to  $38,898,000  compared  to
December 31, 1996 total assets of $30,876,000 primarily due to proceeds from the
sale of 4,000,000 shares of Imatron common stock and the receipt of a deposit of
$2,500,000  for  scanner  orders  from  Heartscan.  This  increase  in cash  and
investments was partially  offset by the operating loss incurred during the year
and  payment of the  borrowings  under the line of credit  with San Paolo  Bank.
Accounts  receivable  also  increased  due to the higher number of scanners sold
under the letters of credit  that are  outstanding  as of  September  30,  1996.
Inventories  are higher at 10% due to the  increase  in work in  process.  Fixed
assets and lease obligations include capital leases on HeartScan clinic scanners
amounting to $5,901,000 that are guaranteed by Imatron Inc.

The Company's management believes that the cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments  existing at  September  30, 1996 and the  estimated  proceeds  from
ongoing  sales of products  and  services in 1996 will  provide the Company with
sufficient  cash for  operating  activities  and  capital  requirements  through
December 31, 1996.

To satisfy  the  Company's  capital  and  operating  requirements  beyond  1996,
profitable   operations  or  additional  public  or  private  financing  or  the
incurrence  of debt may be required.  If future  public or private  financing is
required by the Company,  holders of the  Company's  securities  may  experience
dilution.  There can be no assurance  that equity or debt sources,  if required,
will be available or, if available, will be on terms favorable to the Company or
its shareholders.

The Company does not believe  that  inflation  has had a material  effect on its
revenues or results of operations.

This  Form  10Q  contains  forward-looking  statements  which  involve  risk and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ  significantly  from the
results discussed in the forward-looking  statements as a result of certain risk
factors set forth in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
