              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement
          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  consolidated  financial
          statements.  In the opinion of management,  adjustments (consisting of
          normal   recurring   accruals)   considered   necessary   for  a  fair
          presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month
          period  ended March 31,  1997 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
          results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. For
          further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
          and  notes  thereto   included  in  the  Company's  Annual  Report  to
          Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

          The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of Imatron
          Inc. and its  subsidiary  HeartScan  Imaging,  Inc.  (HeartScan).  All
          intercompany   accounts  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in
          consolidation.

 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM  INVESTMENTS 

          Cash  equivalents  consist  of  liquid  instruments  purchased  with a
          maturity  date of three  months or less and  money  market  funds.  In
          accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115,
          "Accounting  for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities,"
          the  Company  has   classified   all  purchases  of   investments   as
          available-for-sale.   Available-for-sale  securities  are  carried  at
          amounts which approximate fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
          reported in a separate component of shareholders'  equity if material.
          Fair  values  of  investments  are  based  on  quoted  market  prices.
          Short-term investment's at March 31, 1997 consist of A1, P1 commercial
          papers and  government  securities.  Realized  gains and  losses,  and
          declines in value  judged to be  other-than-temporary  are included in
          other  income.  The cost of  securities  sold is based on the specific
          identification method.

4.       INVENTORIES
 
          Inventories consist of (in thousands of dollars):   

                                                    March 31,    December 31,

5.       INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Net loss per common share is computed using the weighted  average number of
     common  shares  outstanding.  Stock  options  and  warrants  have  not been
     included in the  computation as their effect would have been  antidilutive.
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128,  Earnings  per Share,  which is required to be adopted on December
     31, 1997.  At that time,  the Company will be required to change the method
     currently  used to  compute  earnings  per share and to  restate  all prior
     periods.  Under the new requirements  for calculating  primary earnings per
     share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of
     Statement 128 on calculations of basic and fully diluted earnings per share
     is not expected to be material for the first  quarter  ended March 31, 1997
     and March 31, 1996.

     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 substituted a patent, subject to
     existing license-back, currently used in its technology, for the previously
     transferred patent. Representatives of Siemens have agreed with the Company
     to these terms.  In April 1997,  Imatron and Siemens entered into a service
     support  agreement,  whereby the Company will provide customer services for
     C-150 scanners sold by Siemens. For an agreed amount,  Imatron will provide
     all pre-installation  site planning,  installation and application support,
     as well as, warranty and  post-warranty  services,  as a  subcontractor  to
     Siemens.

7.       JOINT VENTURE

     As of March 31, 1997 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 at 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 March 31, 1997, as such information is not considered
     material to the operations of Imatron Inc.

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

Results of Operations:

                  Three months ended March 31, 1997 versus 1996
     Overall  revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 of $10,577,000
increased $4,487,000 or 74% compared to 1996 revenues of $6,090,000. Net product
revenues  increased to  $4,000,000  in 1997 from  $3,791,000  in 1996  primarily
because  of  increases  in scanner  shipments  from five in 1997 to two in 1996.
Service revenues  increase to $1,030,000 in 1997 from $767,000 in 1996 due to an
increase in scanners under service  contract.  Development  contract  revenue is
identical in 1996 due to the terms of the three year Memorandum of Understanding
entered  into  with  Siemens  in March  1995.  Clinic  revenues  related  to the
HeartScan  Imaging,  Inc.  (HeartScan)  increased  by 79% to  $506,000  in  1997
compared to $282,000 in 1996 as a result of five  coronary  artery  disease risk
assessment centers (clinics) operating in 1997 compared to two in 1996.

Total cost of revenues as a percent of  revenues  for the first  quarter of 1997
was lower at 77% as  compared  with92% in 1996.  Product  cost of  revenues as a
percent of  product  revenues  decreased  to 70% in 1997 from 84% in 1996 due to
shipment of five  scanners  with higher  realized  gross margin  compared to two
shipments  in 1996.  Service  cost of revenues  as a percent of service  revenue
decreased  to 68% in 1997  from  91% in 1996 due to  higher  margins  on  spares
shipments and lower scanner maintenance costs.  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  $3,396,000  increased  $762,000 or 29%  compared to 1996
expenses of $2,634,000.  R&D expenses of $922,000 in 1997 reflect the portion of
R&D  spending  not covered by the Siemens  research  and  development  contract.
Selling  expenses  increased to $1,363,000 from $1,083,000 in 1996 primarily due
to higher  advertising  expenses  incurred by  HeartScan  for its five  clinics.
Administrative  expenses  increased  $263,000 to $1,111,000  due to increases in
HeartScan  headcount and start-up  expenses related to the  establishment of new
clinics.


Liquidity and Capital  Resources: 

At March 31, 1997, working capital slightly decreased to $32,725,000 compared to
December 31, 1996 working  capital of  $33,042,000  primarily as a result of the
operating  losses  sustained by HeartScan  amounting to $1,573,000.  The current
ratio was flat at 4.5:1 at March 31, 1997 and 4.4:1 a December 31, 1996.

The  Company's  assets  decreased to  $52,086,000  compared to December 31, 1996
total assets of $53,192,000 primarily due to decreases in cash, cash equivalents
and short-term  investments  partially  offset by increases in  receivables  and
inventories.  There  were  four  scanners  receivable  at the end of March  1997
compared to three at December 31, 1996.

The Company's management believes that the cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments  existing at March31,  1997 and the estimated  proceeds from ongoing
sales of products and services in 1997 will provide the Company with  sufficient
cash for operating  activities  and capital  requirements  through  December 31,
1997.

To satisfy  the  Company's  capital  and  operating  requirements  beyond  1997,
profitable operations,  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.
