              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

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 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  Restated  Form  10-K/A  for the  year  ended
         December 31, 1996.

2.       BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Imatron
         Inc. and its  subsidiary  HeartScan  Imaging,  Inc.  (collectively  the
         "Company").  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  investments  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                       March 31,     December 31,
         (in thousands of dollars):                     1997             1996

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

         the Joint Venture between the Company and Imatron Japan Inc.:

8.       RESTATEMENT

         In June 1996,  Imatron completed a private  placement  offering whereby
         100,000 shares of HeartScan  Series A Preferred Stock were sold at $160
         per share and realized net proceeds of $14,798,000. The preferred stock
         is  convertible on a ten-to-one  basis into HeartScan  common shares at
         any time. Mandatory conversion of the preferred stock into common stock
         will occur upon the successful completion of a HeartScan initial public
         offering.  The HeartScan  Series A Preferred  Stock may be exchanged at
         the sole option of the holder into Imatron  common stock at an exchange
         price of $5.00 per  share  until the  earlier  of a) a two year  period
         following  closing of the Preferred Stock  offering;  or b) a HeartScan
         initial public offering.  If there is no initial public offering within
         24 months of the  Preferred  Stock  closing,  holders  may  convert the
         HeartScan  Series A Preferred  Stock into Imatron  common  stock,  at a
         conversion  price  equal to the  greater  of $1.50  per  share or a 27%
         discount  from the weighted  average  closing  price of Imatron  common
         stock  for the 90 day  Period  immediately  preceding  24 months of the
         Preferred  Stock  closing and each date that is 3 months  thereafter to
         and including the 48th month of the Preferred Stock closing.

         In  March  1997,   subsequent  to  the  Company   finalizing  its  1996
         consolidated   financial   statements,   the  Securities  and  Exchange
         Commission  ("SEC")  announced  its  position  on  accounting  for  the
         issuance of convertible preferred stock with a nondetachable conversion
         feature  that is  deemed  "in  the  money"  at the  date  of  issue  (a
         "beneficial conversion feature").  The beneficial conversion feature is
         initially  recognized  and  measured  by  allocating  a portion  of the
         preferred  stock proceeds equal to the intrinsic  value of that feature
         to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value is calculated at the
         date of issue as the difference of the conversion  price and the quoted
         market price of the Company's common stock,  into which the security is
         convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security
         is convertible.  The discount resulting from the allocation of proceeds
         to the  beneficial  conversion  feature is treated as a dividend and is
         recognized as a return to the preferred  shareholders  over the minimum
         period in which the  preferred  shareholders  can  realize  that return
         (i.e.  from the date the  securities  are  issued  to the date they are
         first convertible).

         The accounting for the beneficial  conversion  feature requires the use
         of an  unadjusted  quoted  market price (i.e.  no  valuation  discounts
         allowed)  as the fair value used in order to  determine  the  intrinsic
         value dividend.  Additionally,  preferred dividends of a subsidiary are
         included in minority interest as charge against income.

         Prior to applying  the  accounting  described  above in its  previously
         issued  financial  statements,   the  Company  had  not  recognized  an
         intrinsic  value  dividend on the HeartScan  preferred  stock which was
         issued  in  June  1996.  The  discounted  conversion  features  of this
         preferred stock into Imatron common stock (the immediate  conversion at
         $5.00 per share and the  conversion  in two years  from the date of the
         preferred  stock  issuance  at a 27%  discount)  was  provided  to  the
         preferred  shareholders,  in  essence  to  provide  them  with  an exit
         strategy in the absence of a HeartScan  IPO.  Thus, the Company did not
         believe a discount  should be  recognized  on a  contingently  issuable
         security.

         Furthermore,  at the time of agreeing  to the terms of the  transaction
         the $5 per share immediate  conversion price was above the market price
         of the Company's  common stock but at the time the HeartScan  preferred
         stock was actually issued,  the market price had increased to $5.75 and
         thereafter, it dropped below $5 again. Accordingly, the Company did not
         believe that any  calculation of the discount should include the impact
         of this short-term market fluctuation.

         In December 1997,  the staff of the SEC gave a speech further  refining
         its March 1997 announcement. Based on discussions with the staff of the
         SEC in  April  1998,  the  staff  concluded  that  the  Company  should
         retroactively  apply its  announcement  because it should be applied to
         contingently  issuable  securities  and, as  discussed  in the December
         speech,  the portion  attributable to the discount that could have been
         obtained immediately on conversion (even though the shares had not been
         registered  yet) should be recognized  on the day the preferred  shares

================================================================================
         were  issued.  The balance of the  discount  based on a market value of
         $5.75 per common share is being recognized over two years from the date
         of issuance.

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  as of and for the year  ended
         December 31, 1996 have been  restated to give effect to the  accounting
         treatment   described  above.   The  restatement   resulted  in  (1)  a
         reclassification  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  $5,890,000
         reducing minority  interests and increasing  additional paid-in capital
         (equity)  and (2) the  recognition  of a  minority  interest  charge of
         $3,272,000 (including $2,400,000 as of the date of the preferred shares
         were issued) in the consolidated statement of operations increasing the
         Company's  net loss from  $10,465,000  to  $13,737,000.  The  remaining
         discount of $2,618,000  will be charged to minority  interests  through
         June 30, 1998.

         The restatement of the previously  issued 1996  consolidated  financial
         statements,  in order to apply the accounting  described herein for the
         intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features,  does not affect
         the cash flows of the Company.  The minority  interest is recognized as
         an increase in minority interest in the balance sheet. If the preferred
         shareholders elect to convert their shares to Imatron common stock, the
         minority interest will then convert to Imatron equity.

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 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  with 92% 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.

Interest income increased to $310,000 for the first quarter of 1997 from $51,000
in the comparable  period of 1996. The increase were attributable to higher cash
balances and  investments in  interest-bearing  securities  which were purchased
with the  proceeds  from  the  private  placements  in  1996.  Interest  expense
increased  to  174,000  for the  first  quarter  of 1997  from  $120,000  in the
comparable  period  of 1996  due  primarily  to an  increase  in  capital  lease
obligations related to scanners leased back by HeartScan.

The  Company  incurred  a  non-cash  charge to income of  $436,000  recorded  as
minority  interest  expense  in the first  quarter  of 1997 in  connection  with
certain beneficial  conversion  features granted to the holders of the HeartScan
convertible  Series A Preferred  Stock (see Note 8 to the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

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 at 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

FORM 10Q                                                          MARCH 31, 1997
================================================================================
investments  existing at March 31, 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.

This Form 10-Q/A  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 Restated Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
