(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in
    accordance with Rule 457 under the Securities Act.
(3) A total of 7,003,087 shares of Common Stock were added to this
    Registration Statement by Amendment No. 3 hereto and, therefore, are shown
    separately in this table.
(4) The shares of Common Stock which may be offered pursuant to this
    Registration Statement include 10,947,026 shares of Common Stock issuable
    upon conversion or otherwise issued in respect of 18,000 shares of the
    Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, including 1,167,000 shares
    of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued or
    issuable to the holder of such Preferred Stock and other shares of Common
    Stock which may be issuable to the holder of such Preferred Stock pursuant
    to agreements with the holders of the Preferred Stock. For purposes of
    estimating the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in this
    Registration Statement, the Company calculated 200% of the number of
    shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the conversion of the
    Company's outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (based on a
    conversion price of $3.69 which is 100% of the average of the daily
    closing bid prices of the Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National
    Market for the five consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading
    day preceding July 17, 1998). In addition to the shares set forth in the
    table, the amount to be registered includes an indeterminate number of
    shares issuable upon conversion of or in respect of the Series C
    Convertible Preferred Stock, as such number may be adjusted as a result of
    stock splits, stock dividends and antidilution provisions (including
    floating rate conversion prices) in accordance with Rule 416 under the
    Securities Act.
(5) The shares of Common Stock which may be offered pursuant to this
    Registration Statement also include 1,984,686 shares of Common Stock
    issuable upon conversion of an aggregate of $6,723,125 of convertible
    promissory notes issued by the Company in connection with acquisitions.
    For purpose of estimating the number of shares of Common Stock to be
    included in this Registration Statement, the Company calculated the number
    of shares issuable upon conversion of such notes as of July 17, 1998
    (based on a conversion price of $3.39 which is 100% of the average of the
    daily closing prices of the Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National
    Market for the five consecutive trading days preceding July 17, 1998). In
    addition to the shares set forth in the table, the amount to be registered
    includes an indeterminate amount of shares issuable upon conversion of
    such promissory notes, as such number may be adjusted as a result of stock
    splits, stock dividends and antidilution provisions (including floating
    rate conversion prices) in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities
    Act.
(6) The shares of Common Stock which may be offered pursuant to this
    Registration Statement also include 1,228,474 shares of Common Stock which
    may be issuable pursuant to the potential exercise of certain purchase
    price protection remedies included in certain acquisition agreements
    entered into by the Company. For purpose of estimating the number of
    shares of Common Stock to be included in this Registration Statement, the
    Company calculated 125% of the number of shares issuable upon the exercise
    of such remedies as of July 17, 1998 (based upon a market price of $3.39
    which is 100% of the average of the daily closing prices of the Common
    Stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the five consecutive
    trading days preceding July 17, 1998).
(7) A total of 7,668,725 shares of Common Stock are being added to this
    Registration Statement by this Amendment No. 4 and, therefore, are shown
    separately in this table.
(8) On July 23, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock
    split of the Common Stock at the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting of
    Stockholders. The Company's Board of Directors has not yet authorized the
    effectiveness of any reverse stock split. Therefore, the information in
    this Registration Statement does not give effect to any reverse stock
    split.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company specializes in the operation and management of fixed site
outpatient medical diagnostic imaging centers. The Company currently operates
98 outpatient diagnostic imaging centers located in the Northeast (58),
Southeast (24), the Midwest (11) and California (5), and provides network
management services to managed care organizations. The Company has grown
rapidly and has increased the number of diagnostic imaging centers it operates
from 39 at December 31, 1996 to 98 at June 1, 1998. The Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Dalcon Technologies, Inc. ("Dalcon"), also develops
and markets software products and systems for the diagnostic imaging industry.
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ-RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the
StarMed Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders, is expected to occur in late
July or in August of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results
of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated
Statements Of Operations as discontinued operations.
 
  The Company's diagnostic imaging centers provide diagnostic imaging services
to patients referred by physicians in a comfortable, service-oriented
environment located mainly in an outpatient setting. Of the Company's 98
centers, 84 provide magnetic resonance imaging, which accounts for a majority
of the Company's imaging revenues. Many of the Company's centers also provide
some or all of the following services: computerized tomography, ultrasound,
nuclear medicine, general radiology and fluoroscopy and mammography.
 
  At each of the Company's centers, all medical services are performed
exclusively by physician groups (the "Physician Group" or the "Interpreting
Physician"), generally consisting of radiologists, with whom the Company
enters into independent contractor agreements. Pursuant to these agreements,
the Company, among other duties, provides to the Physician Group the
diagnostic imaging facility and equipment, performs all marketing and
administrative functions at the centers and is responsible for the maintenance
and servicing of the equipment and leasehold improvements. The Physician Group
is solely responsible for, and has complete and exclusive control over, all
medical and professional services performed at the centers, including, most
importantly, the interpretation of diagnostic images, as well as the
supervision of technicians, and medical related quality assurance and
communications with referring physicians. Insofar as the Physician Group has
complete and exclusive control over the medical services performed at the
centers, including the manner in which medical services are performed, the
assignment of individual physicians to center duties and the hours that
physicians are to be present at the center, the Company believes that the
Interpreting Physicians who perform medical services at the centers are
independent contractors. In addition, Interpreting Physician Groups which
furnish professional services at the centers generally have their own medical
practices and, in most instances, perform medical services at non-Company
related facilities. The Company's employees do not perform professional
medical services at the centers. Consequently, the Company does not believe
that it engages in the practice of medicine in jurisdictions which prohibit or
permit the corporate practice of medicine. The Company performs only
administrative and technical services and does not exercise any control over
the practice of medicine by physicians at the centers or employ physicians to
provide medical services. The Company is aware of three Interpreting
Physicians who own a nominal percentage of three limited partnerships that are
managed and partially owned by the Company.
 
  As part of its administrative responsibilities under the terms of the
Interpreting Physician agreements, the Company is responsible for the
administrative aspects of billing and collection functions at the centers.
Certain third-party payor sources of the Company, such as Medicare, insurance
companies and managed care providers, require that they receive a single or
"global" billing statement for the imaging services provided at the Company's
centers. Consequently, billing is done in the name of the Physician Group
because such billings
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
include a medical component. The Physician Group grants a power of attorney to
the Company authorizing the Company to establish bank accounts using the
Physician Group's name related to that center's collection activities and to
access such accounts. In states where permitted by law, such as Florida, the
Company generally renders bills in the center's name. In such circumstances,
the Physician Group has no access to associated collections.
 
  The Company recognizes revenue under its agreements with Interpreting
Physicians in one of three ways: (1) the Company receives a technical fee for
each diagnostic imaging procedure performed at the center, the amount of which
is fixed based upon the type of the procedure performed; (2) the Company pays
the Interpreting Physician Group a fixed percentage of fees collected at the
center or a contractually fixed amount, based upon the specific diagnostic
imaging procedures performed; or, (3) the Company receives from an affiliated
physician association a fee for the use of the premises, a fee per procedure
for acting as billing and collection agent for the affiliated physician
association and for administrative and technical services performed at the
centers and the affiliated physician association pays the Physician Group
based upon a percentage of the cash collected at the center. All of such
amounts and the basis for payments are negotiated between the Physician Group
and the Company. The fees received or retained by the Company under the three
types of agreements with Interpreting Physicians described above, expressed as
a percentage of the gross billings net of contractual allowances for the
imaging services provided, range from 78% to 93% for the agreements described
in item (1), 80% to 93% for the agreements described in item (2) and 80% to
89% for the agreements described in item (3). The agreements generally have
terms ranging from one to ten years.
 
  Since the beginning of 1996, the Company has acquired 90 imaging centers
through 27 acquisitions. When the Company acquires an imaging center, the
Company acquires assets relating to the provision of technical, financial,
administrative and marketing services which support the provision of medical
services performed by the Interpreting Physicians. Such assets typically
include equipment, furnishings, supplies, tradenames of the center, books and
records, contractual rights with respect to leases and other agreements and,
in most instances, accounts receivable. Other than with respect to such
accounts receivable for services performed by the acquired company, the
Company does not acquire any rights with respect to or have any direct
relationship, with patients. Patients have relationships with referral sources
who are the primary or specialty care physicians for such patients. These
physicians refer their patients to diagnostic imaging centers which may
include the Company's centers where Interpreting Physicians, under independent
contractor agreements, provide professional medical services. The Company's
acquired imaging centers do not constitute either a radiology, primary care or
specialty care medical practice. In connection with an acquisition of a
center, the Company will generally enter into an agreement, as described
above, with a Physician Group for that physician group as an independent
contractor to perform medical services at the center.
 
  The Company was incorporated in Delaware in August 1990 and has its
principal executive offices at 155 State Street, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601
(telephone no.: (201) 488-6230). Prior to the Company's incorporation, the
Company's operations, which commenced in 1979, were conducted by subsidiary
corporations.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should carefully consider the following matters in
evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing the shares of Common
Stock offered hereby.
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY; MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
 
  One of the Company's objectives is to continue to acquire diagnostic imaging
centers and integrate them into the Company's operations. Successfully
accomplishing this goal depends upon a number of factors, including the
Company's ability to find suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate
acquisitions on acceptable terms, obtain necessary financing on acceptable
terms, retain key personnel of the acquired entities, hire and train other
competent managers, and effectively and profitably integrate the operations of
the acquired businesses into the Company's existing operations. The process of
integrating acquired businesses may require a significant amount of resources
and management attention which will temporarily detract from attention to the
day-to-day business of the Company and may be prolonged due to unforeseen
circumstances. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will
require it to continue to improve its operational, financial and management
information systems and controls (including improving and standardization of
its billing systems), and to attract, retain, motivate and manage employees
effectively. The failure of the Company to manage growth in its business
effectively would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
 
  Future acquisitions may be financed through the incurrence of additional
indebtedness or the issuance of equity securities. The issuance by the Company
of additional Common Stock in connection with acquisitions could be dilutive
to Company stockholders. In addition, because the Common Stock has experienced
significant market price fluctuations recently, sellers of acquisition targets
may be hesitant to accept shares of Common Stock in payment of all or portions
of the purchase price of centers unless they are provided with suitable price
protection rights. The grant and ultimate exercise of any such rights could
result in material expenditures by the Company. See "Effects of Grant of
Purchase Price Remedies and Earnout Rights to Sellers of Acquired Centers."
Competition for suitable acquisition candidates is expected to be intense and,
in addition to local hospital and physician groups, to include regional and
national diagnostic imaging service companies, regional and national staffing
companies and other medical services companies, many of which have greater
financial resources than the Company.
 
RECENT LITIGATION
 
  As described below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions",
the Company and its directors and certain former officers have been named as
defendants in several actions filed in state and federal court arising out of
the events described below involving, among other matters, allegations against
the Company's practices regarding related-party transactions and securities
fraud. As the cases are still in their preliminary stages, their outcomes
cannot presently be determined. A decision adverse to the Company in these
cases could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its cash flow,
financial condition and results of operation. In addition, the Company may
incur substantial legal and other expenses in connection with the defense of
these cases which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash
flows, financial condition and results of operation. The Company cannot
currently estimate the amount or timing of such expenses or the time frame in
which these cases will ultimately be resolved.
 
EFFECTS OF GRANT OF REPURCHASE AND PURCHASE PRICE REMEDIES AND EARNOUT RIGHTS
TO SELLERS OF ACQUIRED CENTERS
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions in which the
Company issued shares of its Common Stock as partial consideration therefor,
the Company granted rights to have such shares registered for resale pursuant
to the federal securities laws. In connection with certain of such
acquisitions, the Company has granted specific remedies to the sellers in the
event the registration statement covering the relevant shares was not declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within an agreed-upon
period of time, including the right to require the Company to repurchase the
shares issued to such seller. As a result of the Company's failure to register
such shares by the required dates, the Company has become obligated to
repurchase
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
such shares issued in connection with such acquisition. As of July 10, 1998,
the Company had not registered any shares of Common Stock issued in connection
with the Company's 1997 acquisitions under a registration statement declared
effective by the SEC. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had reflected
$7,187,000 as Common Stock Subject to Redemption on its Consolidated Balance
Sheets which is related to shares that the Company is, has agreed to or may be
required to repurchase. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company paid
$2,547,000 to sellers who exercised their rights to have shares of Common
Stock repurchased. Furthermore, from April 1, 1998 through May 26, 1998, the
Company paid an additional $728,000 to such sellers. In addition, the Company
expects to pay an additional $5,763,000 during the remainder of 1998
($3,695,000 of which was due and payable on June 3, 1998 (the "June 1998
Repurchase Obligation") but has not yet been paid by the Company) in
connection with the settlement of certain repurchase obligations of the
Company subject, under certain circumstances, to the consent of the Senior
Notes holders. With respect to the June 1998 Repurchase Obligation which
remains due and payable, the Company is in discussions with the sellers to
whom such obligations are owed and the Senior Note holders regarding the
timing and satisfaction of the June 1998 Repurchase Obligation.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of such acquisitions, the Company
has agreed with the sellers in such acquisitions to pay (in additional shares
and/or cash) to the sellers an amount equal to the shortfall in the value of
the issued shares in the event the market value of such shares at the relevant
effective date of the registration statement or other negotiated date is less
than the market value of such shares as of the closing of the acquisition or,
in other cases, as of the execution of the relevant acquisition agreement
(referred to as "Price Protection"). Based upon the closing sales price of the
Company's Common Stock on July 16, 1998 ($3 1/8 per share), such shortfall
would be approximately $9,441,000, which amount may be reduced by up to
$5,977,000 to the extent certain sellers exercise their repurchase rights
referred to above.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the
Company has agreed with the relevant sellers that all or a portion of the
consideration for such acquisitions will be paid on a contingent basis based
upon the profitability, revenues or other financial criteria of the acquired
business during an agreed-upon measurement period following the closing of the
acquisition (usually, one to three years). The specific terms of such
contingent consideration differs for each acquisition. In connection with
certain acquisitions, the Company and the relevant sellers have agreed to a
maximum amount of contingent consideration and in other cases the parties have
agreed that any payment of such contingent consideration may be paid in cash
or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.
 
  Although the Company possesses the option, in certain of such cases, to pay
certain of such amounts in shares of Common Stock, payment of significant cash
funds to sellers in the event such remedies or earnout provisions are
triggered could have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash flow and
financial condition. In addition, the Company may be required to finance all
or a portion of any such cash payments from third-party sources. No assurance
can be given that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company. In addition, the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock in
payment of any such owed amounts could be dilutive to the Company's
stockholders.
 
EFFECTS OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TERMS OF SENIOR NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  As a result of the 1997 net loss, the Company is currently in default of
certain financial covenants under the Company's $78,000,000 of Senior Notes.
Management and the Senior Note holders are engaged in discussions to resolve
this matter. In the event the parties are unable to reach agreement, the
lenders are entitled, at their discretion, to exercise certain remedies
including acceleration of repayment. There can be no assurance that the Senior
Note holders will provide the Company with an amendment or waiver of the
defaults. In addition, certain medical equipment notes, and operating and
capital leases of the Company contain provisions which allow the creditors or
lessors to accelerate their debt or terminate their leases and seek certain
other remedies if the Company is in default under the terms of agreements such
as the Senior Notes.
 
  In the event that the Senior Note holders or the other creditors or lessors
elect to exercise their right to accelerate the obligations under the Senior
Notes or the other loans and leases, such acceleration would have a material
adverse effect on the Company, its operations, cash flows and its financial
condition. Furthermore, if
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
such obligations were to be accelerated, in whole or in part, there can be no
assurance that the Company would be successful in identifying or consummating
financing necessary to satisfy the obligations which would become immediately
due and payable. As a result of the uncertainty related to the defaults and
corresponding remedies described above, the Senior Notes and the other loans
and capital leases are shown as current liabilities on the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the
Company has a deficit in working capital more fully described below. These
matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The report of the Company's independent auditors, Ernst & Young
LLP, on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1997 contains an explanatory paragraph with respect to the
issues that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern mentioned in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements, which report and consolidated financial statements are included
elsewhere herein. In addition to continuing to negotiate with the Senior Note
holders in an attempt to obtain waivers or amendments of the aforementioned
defaults, the Company has taken various actions in response to this situation,
including the following: (i) it effected a workforce reduction in March 1998
aimed at reducing the Company's overall expense levels, and (ii) it has
retained the investment banking firm of SBC Warburg Dillon Read to assist the
Company in the sale of the Company's StarMed temporary staffing subsidiary. On
July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the
StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million. The financial statements do not include any
further adjustments reflecting the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated July 21, 1997, and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
July 21, 1997, as amended, between the Company and RGC International, LDC
("RGC") (hereinafter referred to as the "RGC Agreements"), the Company issued
18,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $1,000 stated value per
share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") to RGC. Under the RGC Agreements, the
Company was required to use its best efforts to include the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "RGC
Conversion Shares") in an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 not
later than October 1997. As amended the RGC Agreements provide for monthly
penalties ("RGC Registration Penalties") in the event that the Company fails
to register the Conversion Shares prior to October 1997 with such penalties
continuing until July 23, 1998.
 
  As a result of the Company's failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares
at various dates on or after December 31, 1997, the Company: (i) issued
warrants to RGC to acquire 1,167,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price ranging from $11.62 to $12.95 per share, subject to reset in November
1998 (such warrants having an estimated value for accounting purposes, of
$3,245,000); and (ii) issued interest bearing promissory notes (the "RGC
Penalty Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $2,450,000 due the
earlier of (x) January 4, 1999 and (y) the later of (A) five business days
following the sale of StarMed and (B) October 15, 1998 in the event the sale
of StarMed occurs before October 15, 1998. The principal amount of and
interest accrued on the RGC Penalty Notes may be converted, at the option of
the Company or RGC in certain circumstances, into additional shares of Series
C Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Pursuant to an amendment to the RGC
Agreements entered into in June 1998, the Company will no longer incur any
monthly penalties for failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares following
July 23, 1998. However, if the RGC Conversion Shares are not registered as of
September 15, 1998, RGC may demand a one-time penalty of $1,550,000 (the
"September 1998 Penalty"), payable, at the option of RGC, in cash or
additional shares of Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to register the RGC Conversion Shares by such date or that the
Company will be able to pay the RGC Penalty Notes when due or the September
1998 Penalty, if such payment becomes due.
 
EFFECTS OF POTENTIAL NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET DELISTING
 
  On May 14, 1998, management appeared before the Nasdaq Qualifications
Hearing Panel (the "Panel"). This hearing resulted from the Company's failure
to file timely its Form 10-K for 1997 and was held to determine if the
Company's Common Stock should continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock
Market. On May 29, 1998, the Company was advised that the Panel determined to
continue the listing of the Company's Common Stock on
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
the Nasdaq Stock Market subject to certain conditions. The Company was
required to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 on or before June 12, 1998, which the Company was able to do, and
must evidence compliance with either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets test
or one of Nasdaq's alternative requirements by July 24, 1998.
 
  Based on the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on July 16, 1998
($3 1/8) and the Company's net tangible assets as of March 31, 1998, the
Company does not currently satisfy either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets
requirement or one of the alternative requirements for continued listing,
which include, among other things, a minimum bid price for the Common Stock of
$5.00 per share. In order to satisfy the continued listing requirements, the
Company submitted for shareholder approval a reverse stock split, in order to
meet or exceed the $5.00 minimum bid price. In the event the Company does not
satisfy either the minimum net tangible assets requirement or is unable to
meet or exceed the $5.00 per share requirement, the Panel will consider moving
the Common Stock to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, provided the Company is able
to demonstrate compliance with the applicable maintenance criteria. On July
23, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the
Common Stock at the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The
Company's Board of Directors has not yet authorized the effectiveness of any
reverse stock split. Therefore the information in this Prospectus does not
give effect to any reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that in the
future the Common Stock will meet the continued listing requirements for The
Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CENTERS
 
  Although the primary focus of the Company's growth strategy has been on
acquisitions of existing centers rather than developing new centers, the
Company may also, from time to time, pursue the development of new centers.
Developing new centers entails the same risks as establishing a new business.
The likelihood of success of a newly developed center must therefore be
considered in light of the initial development and operating complexities,
expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered by a new business
and the competitive environment in which the new business will operate. In
addition, new centers may incur significant operating losses during their
initial operations, which could materially adversely affect the Company's
operating results, cash flows and financial condition.
 
LIMITATIONS AND DELAYS IN REIMBURSEMENT
 
  Third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, managed care/HMO providers
and certain commercial payors have taken extensive steps to contain or reduce
the costs of healthcare. In certain areas, the payors are subject to
regulations which limit the amount of payments. Discussions within the Federal
government regarding national healthcare reform are emphasizing containment of
healthcare costs. In addition, certain managed care organizations have
negotiated capitated payment arrangements for imaging services. Under
capitation, diagnostic imaging service providers are compensated using a fixed
rate per member of the managed care organization regardless of the total cost,
including the numbers of procedures performed, of rendering diagnostic
services to the members. Services provided under these contracts are expected
to become an increasingly significant part of the Company's business. The
inability of the Company to properly manage the administration of capitated
contracts could materially adversely effect the Company. Although patients are
ultimately responsible for payment for services rendered, substantially all of
the Company's imaging centers' revenues are derived from third-party payors.
Successful reduction of reimbursement amounts and rates, changes in services
covered, delays or denials of reimbursement claims, negotiated or discounted
pricing and other similar measures could materially adversely affect the
Company's respective imaging centers' revenues, profitability and cash flow.
 
  The Company's management believes that overall reimbursement rates will
continue to gradually decline for some period of time due to factors such as
the expansion of managed care organizations and continued national healthcare
reform efforts. The Company enters into contractual arrangements with managed
care organizations which, due to the size of their membership, are able to
command reduced rates for services. The Company expects these agreements to
increase the number of procedures performed due to the additional referrals
from these managed care entities. However, there can be no assurance that the
increased volume of procedures associated with these contractual arrangements
will offset the reduction in reimbursement rate per procedure.

PERSONAL INJURY REVENUE
 
  A significant percentage of the Company's net service revenues from imaging
centers is derived by providing imaging services to individuals involved in
personal injury claims, mainly involving automobile accidents. Imaging revenue
derived from person injury claims, mainly involving automobile accidents,
represented approximately 24% of the Diagnostic Imaging business net service
revenues for 1997. Due to the greater complexity in processing receivables
relating to personal injury claims with automobile insurance carriers
(including dependency on the outcome of settlements or judgments for
collections directly from such individuals), such receivables typically
require a longer period of time to collect, compared to the Company's other
receivables and, in the experience of the Company, incur a higher bad debt
expense.
 
  While the collection process employed by the Company may vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the processing of a typical personal injury
claim generally commences with the Company obtaining and verifying automobile,
primary health, and secondary health insurance information at the time
services are rendered. The Company then generates and sends a bill to the
automobile insurance carrier, which under state law, typically has an extended
period of time (usually up to 105 days) to accept or reject a claim. The
amount of documentation required by the automobile insurance carriers to
support a claim is substantially in excess of what most other payors require
and carriers frequently request additional information after the initial
submission of a claim. If the individual is subject to a co-payment or
deductible under the automobile insurance policy or has no automobile
insurance coverage, the Company will generally bill the individual's primary
and secondary health policies for the uncovered balance. The automobile
insurance carrier may reject coverage or fail to accept a claim within the
statutory time limit on the basis of, among other reasons, the failure to
provide complete documentation. In such circumstances, the Company generally
pursues arbitration, which typically takes up to 90 days for a judgment, to
collect from the carrier.
 
  The Company will then pursue collection of the remaining receivable from the
individual. Although the Company attempts to bill promptly after providing
services and typically requests payment upon receipt of invoice, the Company
generally defers aggressive collection efforts for the remaining balance until
the personal injury individual's claim is resolved in court, which frequently
takes longer than a year and may take as long as two or three years.
Consequently, the Company's practice is to obtain a written assurance from the
individual and the individual's legal counsel, under which the individual
confirms in writing his or her obligation to pay the outstanding balance
regardless of the outcome of any settlement or judgment of the claim.
Consequently, the Company's services with respect to the personal injury claim
are not contingent. If the settlement or judgment proceeds received by the
individual are insufficient to cover the individual's obligation to the
Company, the Company either (i) accepts a reduced amount in full satisfaction
of the individual's outstanding obligation, or (ii) commences collection
proceedings, which may ultimately result in the Company taking legal action to
enforce its collection rights against the individual regarding all uncollected
accounts.
 
  As a result of the foregoing, the average age of receivables relating to
personal injury claims is greater than for non-personal injury claim
receivables. Significant delays in the collection or the inability to collect
receivables relating to personal injury claims or the refusal of insurance
companies to pay the higher reimbursement rates typically associated with
personal injury claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
diagnostic imaging operations.
 
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
  The healthcare industry is highly regulated. The ownership, construction,
operation, expansion and acquisition of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers
are subject to various federal and state laws, regulations and approvals
concerning such matters as physician referrals, licensing of facilities and
personnel, and Certificates of Need and other required certificates for
certain types of healthcare facilities and major medical equipment. Among
other penalties, violations of these laws can result in the shutdown of a
company's facilities and loss of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for
patient services. The Federal Anti-Kickback Act of 1977, as amended
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
(the "Anti-Kickback Act") prohibits the offer, payment, solicitation or
receipt of any form of remuneration in return for referring Medicare or
Medicaid patients or purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for any item
or service that is covered by Medicare or Medicaid. The law provides several
penalties for engaging in prohibited acts, including criminal sanctions and
exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although the Company does
not believe that it is operating in violation of this law, the scope of the
law remains somewhat unclear and there is no assurance that the Company would
prevail in its position. In addition, in 1991 and subsequently, the Office of
the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services
promulgated "safe harbor" regulations specifying activities that will be
protected from criminal and civil investigation and prosecution under the
Anti-Kickback Act. The Office of the Inspector General has stated that failure
to satisfy the conditions of an applicable "safe harbor" does not necessarily
indicate that the arrangement in question violates the Anti-Kickback Act, but
means that the arrangement is not among those that the "safe harbor"
regulations protect from criminal and civil investigation and prosecution
under that law. The finding of a violation must still be determined based upon
the precise language of the Anti-Kickback Act.
 
  The Federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, as amended by the
Federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, contains provisions that,
unless an exception applies, restrict physicians from making referrals to,
among others, providers of MR and other radiological services for services to
be rendered to Medicare or Medicaid patients in which the physicians have a
"financial relationship" or an ownership interest or with which they have a
compensation arrangement (the so-called "Stark Law"). The Stark Law provides
exceptions for certain types of employment and contractual relationships. The
Company believes that it is in compliance with the Stark Law, but there is no
assurance that the Company will prevail in its position if challenged.
 
  The State of Florida also enacted in 1992 an anti-kickback statute
substantially similar in scope to the Anti-Kickback Act. Although the Company
does not believe that it is operating in violation of this law, as with its
Federal counterpart, the scope of the Florida law remains unclear and there is
no assurance that the Company would prevail in its position.
 
  The States of Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and
Pennsylvania in which the Company currently operates centers have enacted laws
that restrict or prohibit physicians from referring patients to healthcare
facilities in which such physicians have a financial interest. Although the
Company does not believe that these laws will have a material adverse effect
on its operations in these states, there is no assurance that these laws will
not be interpreted or applied in such a way as to create such a material
adverse effect, or that these states, or other states in which the Company
does business, will not adopt similar or more restrictive laws or regulations
that could have such a material adverse effect.
 
  All states where the Company has imaging centers have enacted Certificate of
Need laws to facilitate healthcare planning by placing limitations on the
purchase of certain major medical equipment and certain other capital
expenditures. These statutes, together with their implementing regulations,
could limit the Company's ability to acquire new imaging facilities and
imaging equipment or expand or replace its equipment at existing centers, and
no assurances can be given that the required regulatory approvals for any
future acquisitions, expansions or replacements will be granted to the
Company.
 
  The Company continues to review all aspects of its operations and believes
that it complies in all material respects with applicable provisions of the
Anti-Kickback Act, the Stark Law and applicable state laws governing fraud and
abuse as well as licensing and certification, although because of the broad
and sometimes vague nature of these laws and requirements, there can be no
assurance that an enforcement action will not be brought against the Company
or that the Company will not be found to be in violation of one or more of
these regulatory provisions. Further, there can be no assurance that new laws
or regulations will not be enacted, or existing laws or regulations
interpreted or applied in the future in such a way as to have a material
adverse impact on the Company, or that Federal or state governments will not
impose additional restrictions upon all or a portion of the Company's
activities, which might adversely affect the Company's business.
 
                                      10

CORPORATE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND FEE SPLITTING
 
  The Company presently operates imaging centers in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois, Florida, California and
Arkansas. The laws of many states prohibit unlicensed, non-physician-owned
entities or corporations (such as the Company) from performing medical
services, or in certain instances, physicians from splitting fees with non-
physicians, such as the Company. The Company does not believe that it engages
in the unlicensed practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services in
any state where it is prohibited, and is generally not licensed to practice
medicine in states which permit such licensure. Professional medical services,
such as the interpretation of MRI scans, are separately provided by licensed
Interpreting Physicians, as independent contractors, pursuant to agreements
with the Company. At each of the Company's centers, all medical services are
performed exclusively by Physician Groups, generally consisting exclusively of
radiologists, with whom the Company enters into independent contractor
agreements. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company, among other duties,
provides to the Physician Group the diagnostic imaging facility and equipment,
performs all marketing and administrative functions at the centers and is
responsible for the maintenance and servicing of the equipment and leasehold
improvements. The Physician Group is solely responsible for, and has complete
and exclusive control over, all medical and professional services performed at
the centers, including, most importantly, the interpretation of diagnostic
images as well as the supervision of technicians, and medical related quality
assurance and communications with referring physicians. The Company's
employees do not perform professional medical services at the centers.
Consequently, the Company does not believe that it engages in the practice of
medicine in jurisdictions which prohibit or permit the corporate practice of
medicine. The Company performs only administrative and technical services and
does not exercise control over the practice of medicine by physicians at the
centers or employ physicians to provide medical services.
 
  In many jurisdictions, however, the laws restricting the corporate practice
of medicine and fee-splitting have been subject to limited judicial and
regulatory interpretation and, therefore, there is no assurance that, upon
review, some of the Company's activities would not be found to be in violation
of such laws. If such a claim were successfully asserted against it, the
Company could be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Imposition of civil
or criminal penalties against the Company could have a material adverse effect
on its operations, cash flows and financial condition.
 
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF CAPITATION CONTRACTS
 
  The Company has entered into a number of "capitated contracts" with third
party payors which typically provide for payment of a fixed fee per month on a
per member basis, without regard to the amount or scope of services actually
rendered. Because the obligations to perform services are not related to the
payments, it is possible that either the cost or the value of the services
performed may significantly exceed the fees received, and there may be a
significant period between the time the services are rendered and payment is
received. Approximately 2% of the Company's net service revenues in 1997 was
derived from capitated contracts. While the Company carefully analyzes the
potential risks of capitation arrangements, there can be no assurances that
any capitated contracts to which the Company is a party or which it may enter
into in the future will not generate significant losses to the Company.
 
  In addition, certain types of capitation agreements, may be deemed a form of
risk contracting. Many states limit the extent to which any person can engage
in risk contracting, which involves the assumption of a financial risk with
respect to providing services to a patient. If the fees received by the
Company are less than the cost of providing the services, the Company may be
deemed to be acting as a de facto insurer. In some states, only certain
entities, such as insurance companies, HMOs and independent practice
associations, are permitted to contract for the financial risk of patient
care. In such states, risk contracting in certain cases has been deemed to be
engaging in the business of insurance. The Company believes that it is not in
violation of any restrictions on risk bearing or engaging in the business of
insurance. If the Company is held to be unlawfully engaged in the
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
business of insurance, such a finding could result in civil or criminal
penalties or require the restructuring of some or all of the Company's
operations, which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business.
 
SIGNIFICANT DEBT, INCLUDING CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS
 
  The Company has significant outstanding debt, including capitalized lease
obligations relating to equipment at its centers. The Company has financed the
acquisition of substantially all of the diagnostic imaging equipment used at
its centers (typically with terms ranging from five to seven years) from
lenders and lessors, with the equipment and other assets serving as collateral
for the loans. A significant portion of the Company's assets have been pledged
as collateral for its capitalized lease obligations, as well as other
indebtedness. In certain cases, the center leasing the equipment and the
subsidiary which operates the center are the only obligors under the
capitalized leases. A default under an equipment lease or certain other
indebtedness of the Company could materially adversely affect the operations
of the Company. See "Effects of Failure to Comply with Terms of Senior Notes
and Convertible Preferred Stock."
 
COMPETITION; RELIANCE ON REFERRALS
 
  The outpatient diagnostic imaging industry is highly competitive.
Competition focuses primarily on attracting physician referrals, including
referrals through relationships with managed care organizations, at the local
market level. The Company believes that principal competitors in each of its
markets are hospitals, independent or management company owned imaging
centers, individual-owned imaging centers and mobile MR units. Many of these
competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company.
Principal competitive factors include facility location, type and quality of
equipment, quality and timeliness of test results, ability to develop and
maintain relationships with referring physicians, convenience of scheduling
and availability of patient appointment times and the pricing of services.
These factors impact the referring physician's decision to direct a patient to
an imaging center. Competition for physician referrals can also be affected by
the ownership or affiliation of competing centers or hospitals. In addition,
managed care has affected the availability of referrals by approving only a
certain number of centers in a given geographic region. The competitive
environment which the Company faces could result in lower patient volume or in
an adverse change in payor mix.
 
  MR systems compete with a variety of other scanning technologies which are
available in physicians offices, hospitals and other diagnostic imaging
centers. Competition with other imaging modalities is generally based on the
nature of the medical procedure to be performed and the condition of the
patient. The use of MR imaging as a diagnostic tool continues to gain both
professional and public acceptance as MR imaging and diagnostic techniques
improve, equipment software is enhanced and attention is directed to MR's
diagnostic successes. The Company's performance is dependent upon physician
and patient confidence in the superiority of its MR imaging and service over
other competing modalities and systems.
 
  There are a number of manufacturers of MR imaging systems. These
manufacturers' marketing efforts can be expected to stimulate others,
including hospitals, to purchase and install the MR systems. Periodically,
manufacturers introduce innovations or newly designed MR systems with enhanced
features. Therefore, the Company encounters strong competition from other MR
diagnostic systems with innovative or enhanced features installed in the areas
where the Company has installed its MR systems, as well as strong competition
in its endeavors to acquire new locations.
 
  The temporary healthcare staffing business is also very competitive. StarMed
competes for clients' business with other providers of travel nurse temporary
staffing and with other staffing companies that provide per diem staffing
services. StarMed also competes for the limited number of available qualified
staff. StarMed competes with several companies which are larger and may
possess greater financial and other resources.

DEPENDENCE ON QUALIFIED INTERPRETING PHYSICIANS
 
  The Company's strategy of maintaining the high quality of its services is
dependent upon its ability to obtain and maintain arrangements with qualified
Interpreting Physicians at each of its centers. No assurance can be given that
the Company's contractual arrangements with Interpreting Physician groups at
each of the Company's centers can be maintained on terms advantageous to the
Company. No assurance can be given that the Interpreting Physicians with whom
the Company has contracts will perform satisfactorily or continue to practice
in the markets served by its imaging centers. In addition, with respect to the
acquired centers, there can be no assurance that arrangements can be entered
into with Interpreting Physicians on acceptable terms or that such physicians
will be successful in such centers. The Company's success is significantly
dependent on the ability of these physicians to attract patient referrals,
thereby enabling the Company's centers to operate profitably. Agreements with
Interpreting Physicians generally range from one to ten years and permit
termination only for cause. Many agreements prohibit the Interpreting
Physician from performing professional interpreting services for a competitor
within a defined geographic distance from the Company's center which may vary
depending upon the relevant demographics and density of the immediate region.
Such restrictive covenants are customarily in effect from one to five years
following the termination of the agreements. The inability of these physicians
to attract sufficient referrals, the termination of their agreements with the
Company or the inability of the Company to enforce the restrictive covenants
contained in the agreements could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and operating results.
 
TECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCE
 
  There have been rapid technological advancements made in the software and,
to a lesser extent, hardware in the diagnostic imaging industry. Although the
Company believes that its equipment can generally be upgraded as necessary,
the development of new technologies or refinements of existing technologies
might make existing equipment technologically or economically obsolete. If
such obsolescence were to occur, the Company may be compelled to acquire new
equipment, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition, results from operations and cash flow. In addition, certain of the
Company's centers compete against local centers which contain more advanced
imaging equipment or provide additional modalities.
 
MALPRACTICE LIABILITY CLAIMS AND INSURANCE
 
  Although the Company provides administrative, financial and technical
services and is not engaged in the practice of medicine, the diagnostic
imaging and temporary staffing businesses entail the risk of professional
liability claims. Consequently, the Company may be named as a co-defendant in
medical malpractice claims. The Company's exposure to such liability is
reduced for its imaging centers because Interpreting Physicians are required
to purchase and carry their own medical malpractice insurance. Similarly, the
Company's nursing personnel perform services in accordance with treatments
prescribed by third-party Physicians or under hospital supervision.
Nevertheless, the Company maintains general liability insurance and
professional liability insurance for both its diagnostic imaging business and
its temporary staffing business in amounts deemed adequate by management of
the Company. The Company is subject to one claim seeking $12.5 million in
damages, which is in excess of the Company's insurance coverage of $1,000,000
per incident, as well as six additional lawsuits which do not specify the
amount sought to be recovered. Adverse determinations against the Company with
respect to all such claims or the filing of malpractice claims against the
Company in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
 
LOSSES FROM CERTAIN CENTERS; IMPAIRMENT OF CERTAIN ASSETS
 
  Certain centers which the Company has acquired since January 1996 have
generated losses. With respect to these centers, the Company has utilized,
and, in most circumstances, will continue to utilize, working capital to fund
the operations of such centers. The Company cannot determine if or when such
centers will become profitable, or if or when the centers will generate
positive operating cash flows. In the event that the Company determines to
close or sell any such center, the Company would expect to incur a loss in
connection with such
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
closure. In addition, during 1997, the Company recorded a $12,962,000 loss
from the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets. This loss
consists of the write-off of goodwill of $10,425,000, covenants not to compete
of $118,000 and fixed assets of $2,419,000. Substantially all of the
impairment relates to eight of the Company's diagnostic imaging centers which
were under performing. The Company has recorded impairment losses for these
centers because the sum of the expected future cash flows, determined based on
an assumed continuation of current operating methods and structures, does not
cover the carrying value of the related long-lived assets. The Company is,
however, investigating the underlying causes of such under-performance to
determine what actions, if any, may be taken to improve the future operating
performance of such centers. There can be no assurance, however, that
additional assets of the Company will not be impaired in the future or that
the future operating performance of the Company's centers with a history of
losses will improve. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
 
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS
 
  The Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present plans to pay
cash dividends to its stockholders and, for the foreseeable future, intends to
retain all of its earnings, if any, for use in its business. The declaration
of any future dividends by the Company is within the discretion of its Board
of Directors and will be dependent on the earnings, financial condition and
capital requirements of the Company, as well as any other factors deemed
relevant by its Board of Directors. In addition, the payment by the Company of
cash dividends is presently limited by the agreement related to the issuance
of the Senior Notes.
 
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES
 
  Certain provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as well as
Delaware corporate law and the Company's Stockholder Rights Plan (the "Rights
Plan"), may be deemed to have anti- takeover effects and may delay, defer or
prevent a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best
interest. Such provisions also may adversely affect prevailing market prices
for the Common Stock. Certain of such provisions allow the Company's Board of
Directors to issue, without additional stockholder approval, preferred stock
having rights senior to those of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company is
subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which prohibits the Company from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed
matter. In September 1996, the Company adopted the Rights Plan, pursuant to
which holders of the Common Stock received a distribution of rights to
purchase additional shares of Common Stock, which rights become exercisable
upon the occurrence of certain events. Although the Rights Plan was adopted by
the Company to give its Board of Directors significantly more time to properly
consider and to respond to an acquisition proposal, it could have the effect
of discouraging or hindering an unsolicited offer to acquire the Company at
effective valuations which are above the current market capitalization of the
Company.
 
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
  The market price of the Common Stock has been and may continue to be
volatile. Recently, the stock market in general and the shares of healthcare
and diagnostic imaging services companies in particular have experienced
significant price fluctuations. These broad market and industry fluctuations
may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. Factors such as
quarterly fluctuations in results of operations, the timing and terms of
future acquisitions and general conditions in the healthcare industry may have
a significant impact on the market price of the Common Stock.
 
SALES BY SELLING STOCKHOLDERS; POTENTIAL FOR DILUTION
 
  All of the Shares being offered hereby are offered solely by the Selling
Stockholders who are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell
the Shares. Shares sold below the then current level at which the shares of
Common Stock are trading may adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock.

  As of July 15, 1998, 15,500 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock
were issued and outstanding. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is
convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by
dividing the stated value ($1,000) of each share of Series C Preferred Stock
plus 3% per annum from the closing date to the conversion date by the lesser
of (i) $20.70 or (ii) the average of the daily closing bid prices for the
Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending five (5) trading
days prior to the date of conversion. On June 18, 1998, 2,500 shares of Series
C Preferred Stock were converted into 1,119,660 shares of Common Stock. If
converted on July 17, 1998, the remaining 15,500 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock would have been convertible into approximately 4,330,183 shares of
Common Stock. Depending on market conditions at the time of conversion, the
number of shares issuable could prove to be significantly greater in the event
of a decrease in the trading price of the Common Stock. As a result of the
Company's failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares at various dates on or
after December 31, 1997, the Company: (i) issued warrants to RGC to acquire
1,167,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price ranging form $11.62 to
$12.95 per share, subject to reset in November 1998 (such warrants having an
estimated value for accounting purposes, of $3,245,000); and (ii) issued
interest bearing promissory notes (the "RGC Penalty Notes") in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,450,000 due the earlier of (x) January 4, 1999 and (y)
the later of (A) five business days following the sale of StarMed and (B)
October 15, 1998 in the event the sale of StarMed occurs before October 15,
1998. The principal amount of and interest accrued on the RGC Penalty Notes
may be converted, at the option of the Company or RGC in certain
circumstances, into additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock or Common
Stock. Pursuant to an amendment to the RGC Agreements entered into in June
1998, the Company will no longer incur any monthly penalties for failure to
register the RGC Conversion Shares following July 23, 1998. However, if the
RGC Conversion Shares are not registered as of September 15, 1998, RGC may
demand a one-time penalty of $1,550,000 (the "September 1998 Penalty"),
payable, at the option of RGC, in cash or additional shares of Common Stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to register the RGC
Conversion Shares by such date or that the Company will be able to pay the RGC
Penalty Notes when due or the September 1998 Penalty, if such payment becomes
due. Purchasers of Common Stock could therefore experience substantial
dilution upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the RGC Penalty
Notes and the exercise of such warrants. The shares of Series C Preferred
Stock are not registered and may be sold only if registered under the Act or
sold in accordance with an applicable exemption from registration, such as
Rule 144. The shares of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock
may be converted and the shares underlying such warrants are being registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

  The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the
Selling Stockholders.
 
                PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  The Company's Common Stock had been traded on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) National Market, under
the symbol MRII, since November 3, 1995, and on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market
prior thereto. From April 20, 1998 through June 18, 1998 the Company's Common
Stock traded under the symbol MRIIE to reflect the fact that Nasdaq had
commenced proceedings to determine whether or not the Company's Common Stock
should continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market as a result of the
Company's failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997 in a timely manner. On May 14, 1998, representatives of the
Company attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Qualifications Hearing Panel to
review the Company's failure to comply with NASDAQ's ongoing listing
requirements. On May 29, 1998, the Company was advised that the Panel
determined to continue the listing of the Company's Common Stock on The Nasdaq
Stock Market subject to certain conditions. The Company was required to file
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 on or
before June 12, 1998, which the Company was able to do, and must evidence
compliance with either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets test or one of
Nasdaq's alternative requirements by July 24, 1998.
 
  Based on the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on July 16, 1998
($3 1/8) and the Company's net tangible assets as of December 31, 1997, the
Company does not currently satisfy either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets
requirement or one of the alternative requirements for continued listing,
which include, among other things, a minimum bid price for the Common Stock of
$5.00 per share. In order to satisfy the continued listing requirements, the
Company submitted for shareholder approval a reverse stock split, in order to
meet or exceed the $5.00 minimum bid price. In event the Company does not
satisfy either the minimum net tangible assets requirement or is unable to
meet or exceed the $5.00 per share requirement, the Panel will consider moving
the Common Stock to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, provided the Company is able
to demonstrate compliance with the applicable maintenance criteria. On July
23, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the
Common Stock at the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The
Company's Board of Directors has not yet authorized the effectiveness of any
reverse stock split. Therefore, the information in this Prospectus does not
give effect to any reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that in the
future the Common Stock will meet the continued listed requirements for the
Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
  The following table sets forth for the periods indicated below the high and
low bid prices per share of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ:

  No cash dividends have been paid on the Company's Common Stock since the
organization of the Company and the Company does not anticipate paying
dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment by the Company of cash
dividends is limited by the terms of the agreement related to its issuance of
the Senior Notes. The Company currently intends to retain earnings for future

  The following selected consolidated historical financial data of the Company
is derived from the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
periods indicated and, as such, reflects the impact of acquired entities from
the effective dates of such transactions, and reflects StarMed as a
discontinued operation due to its pending sale. The selected balance sheet
data at March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the statement of operations data for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, have been derived from the
Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and includes, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of such data. The operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily an
indication of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998
or for future periods. The information in the table and the notes thereto

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  At each of the Company's diagnostic imaging centers, all medical services
are performed exclusively by physician groups (the "Physician Group" or the
"Interpreting Physician"), generally consisting of radiologists with whom the
Company has entered into independent contractor agreements. Pursuant to these
agreements, the Company has agreed to provide equipment, premises,
comprehensive management and administration, including responsibility for
billing and collection of receivables, and technical imaging services to the
Interpreting Physician.
 
  Net service revenues are reported, when earned, at their estimated net
realizable amounts from patients, third party payors and others for services
rendered at contractually established billing rates which generally are at a
discount from gross billing rates. Known and estimated differences between
contractually established billing rates and gross billing rates (referred to
as "contractual allowances") are recognized in the determination of net
service revenues at the time services are rendered. Subject to the foregoing,
the Company's diagnostic imaging centers recognize revenue under one of the
three following types of agreements with Interpreting Physicians:
 
    Type I--The Company receives a technical fee for each diagnostic imaging
  procedure performed at a center, the amount of which is dependent upon the
  type of procedure performed. The fee included in revenues is net of
  contractual allowances. The Company and the Interpreting Physician
  proportionally share in any losses due to uncollectible amounts from
  patients and third party payors, and the Company has established reserves
  for its share of the estimated uncollectible amount. Type I net service
  revenues for 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
  $80,818,000, or 56% of revenues, and $24,365,000, or 52% of revenues,
  respectively.
 
    Type II--The Company bills patients and third party payors directly for
  services provided and pays the Interpreting Physicians either (i) a fixed
  percentage of fees collected at the center, or (ii) a contractually fixed
  amount based upon the specific diagnostic imaging procedures performed.
  Revenues are recorded net of contractual allowances and the Company accrues
  the Interpreting Physicians fee as an expense on the Consolidated
  Statements of Operations. The Company bears the risk of loss due to
  uncollectible amounts from patients and third party payors, and the Company
  has established reserves for the estimated uncollectible amount. Type II
  net service revenues for 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998
  were $55,016,000, or 38% of revenues, and $19,168,000, or 41% of revenues,
  respectively.
 
    Type III--The Company receives from an affiliated physician association a
  fee for the use of the premises, a fee per procedure for acting as billing
  and collection agent and a fee for administrative and technical services
  performed at the centers. The affiliated physician association contracts
  with and pays directly the Interpreting Physicians. The Company's fee, net
  of an allowance based upon the affiliated physician association's ability
  to pay after the association has fulfilled its obligations (i.e., estimated
  future net collections from patients and third party payors less facility
  lease expense and Interpreting Physicians fees), constitutes the Company's
  net service revenues. Since the Company's net service revenues are
  dependent upon the amount ultimately realized from patient and third party
  receivables, the Company's revenue and receivables have been reduced by an
  estimate of patient and third party payor contractual allowances, as well
  as an estimated provision for uncollectible amounts from patients and third
  party payors. Type III net service revenues for 1997 and the three months
  ended March 31, 1998 were $8,342,000, or 6% of revenues, and $3,440,000, or
  7% of revenues, respectively.
 
  Revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid are subject to audit by such
agencies. The Company is not aware of any pending audits.
 
  The fees received or retained by the Company under the three types of

imaging services provided, range from 78% to 93% for the Type I agreements,
80% to 93% for the Type II agreements and 80% to 89% for the Type III
agreements. These agreements generally have terms ranging from one to ten
years.
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the
StarMed Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders, is expected to occur in late
July or in August of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results
of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated
Statements Of Operations as discontinued operations.
 
 Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1997
 
  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company's net service revenues
increased $20,445,000, or 76%, to $47,286,000 during the first quarter of 1998
from $26,841,000 for the first quarter of 1997, due primarily to the timing of
various 1997 acquisitions which contributed $ 22,420,000 of the increase.
Revenues at imaging centers that were operated by the Company for all of 1997
decreased $1,975,000, or 8%, to $22,181,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 from $24,156,000 for the same period in 1997. This decrease in revenues
was the net result of higher contractual allowances in relation to gross
billings in the first quarter of 1998, partially offset by the beneficial
effects of increased procedure volumes.
 
  Contractual allowances are largely dependent upon reimbursement rates from
third party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and managed care providers.
Management believes that it is likely that the Company's overall reimbursement
rates will continue to gradually decline for some period of time, due to
factors such as the expansion of managed care organizations and continued
national healthcare reform efforts. The Company will endeavor to mitigate the
impact of any decline in reimbursement rates by decreasing costs and
increasing referral volumes. If the rate of decline in reimbursement rates
were to increase materially, or if the Company is unsuccessful in reducing its
costs or increasing its volume, the Company's results could be materially and
adversely affected.
 
  Revenue derived from personal injury claims, mainly involving automobile
accidents, represented approximately 24% of net service revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. Automobile insurance carriers generally pay the
non-deductible non-co-pay portion of the charge, with the remaining balance
payable by the individual. The timing of collection from the individual is
partially dependent upon the outcome and timing of any settlement or judgment
of the injury claim. Accordingly, such receivables typically require a longer
period of time to collect compared to the Company's other receivables, and in
the experience of the Company incur a higher bad debt expense. If the Company
were to become less successful in its efforts in collecting these receivables,
the Company's results could be materially and adversely affected.
 
  Operating costs increased $16,529,000, or 120%, to $30,347,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $13,818,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, due primarily to the addition of operating costs of $13,931,000 from
centers acquired during 1997. Operating costs at imaging centers operated by
the Company for all of 1997 increased $2,598,000, or 21%, to $14,964,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $12,366,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, primarily as a result of increased payroll and related
costs.
 
  Center operating margins, which represent net service revenue less imaging
center operating costs as a percent of net revenue, decreased for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 to 36% from 49% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 due
primarily to higher contractual allowances as a percentage of gross billings
and generally higher payroll and administrative costs.
 
 
                                      20

  The provision for uncollectible accounts receivable for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 was $3,621,000, or 8%, of related net service revenues,
compared to the first quarter of 1997 provision of $1,821,000, or 7%, of
related net service revenues. The increase in the dollar amount of the
provision for uncollectible accounts receivable was primarily due to higher
revenue levels in the first quarter of 1998.
 
  Corporate general and administrative expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $4,823,000, an increase of $3,124,000 from the $1,699,000
recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was
primarily due to higher payroll and related costs as a result of the expanded
business development activities and the resulting growth experienced during
1997. In March 1998, the Company announced a workforce reduction and follow-on
attrition program that is expected to result in reduced payroll costs of
approximately $5,000,000 per annum.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 1998 was
$6,477,000, compared to $2,790,000 for the first quarter of 1997, or an
increase of $3,687,000 due primarily to higher equipment depreciation of
$2,207,000 primarily resulting from 1997 acquisitions and increased goodwill
amortization of $1,384,000.
 
  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded $3,760,000 of unusual
charges consisting of (i) $313,000 for shareholder and employee lawsuits, and
(ii) $2,227,000 ($1,194,000 of which was a non-cash charge related to the
issuance of 350,000 Common Stock warrants) for penalties associated with
delays in the registration of the Company's Common Stock issued in connection
with acquisitions or issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock,
(iii) $883,000 for costs associated with the investigation of related party
transactions which was concluded in April 1998 and (iv) $337,000 for
management termination benefits and related costs.
 
  The Company could incur a substantial additional amount of unusual charges
during the remainder of 1998 depending upon the outcome of current
negotiations regarding defaults under the Senior Notes and penalties
associated with the failure to register the Company's Common Stock, as well as
the outcome of certain litigation.
 
  Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$3,486,000 as compared to $887,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
an increase of $2,599,000. This increase was primarily attributable to higher
outstanding debt, including the issuance of $78,000,000 of Senior Notes during
1997, notes payable of $36,505,000 and capital lease obligations totaling
$26,612,000 assumed in connection with the Company's 1997 acquisitions.
 
  The Company's income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was decreased by
$181,000 attributable to minority interests, as compared to a reduction in the
Company's income of $235,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
 
  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$79,000 as compared to a provision of $2,229,000 for the comparable period
last year. During the first quarter of 1998, the benefit for income taxes was
limited due to the uncertainty regarding the recognition of the full amount of
the Company's deferred tax assets.
 
  The Company's net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 was $5,488,000 compared to net income from continuing
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 of $3,362,000.
 
  The net loss applicable to common stockholders (used in computing loss per
common share) in the first quarter of 1998 includes charges of $135,000 as a
result of the accretion of the Company's preferred stock.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's net service revenues
increased $79,650,000, or 123%, to $144,412,000 in 1997 from $64,762,000 in
1996, due primarily to revenues of $60,849,000 contributed by centers acquired
during 1997. Revenues at imaging centers acquired during 1996 increased
$20,585,000, or
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
93%, to $42,617,000 in 1997 from $22,032,000 in 1996 primarily as a result of
the timing of the 1996 acquisitions, partially offset by an increase of
$5,896,000 in the estimated provision for uncollectible amounts related to
Type III centers. Revenues at imaging centers that were operated by the
Company for all of 1997 and 1996 decreased $1,784,000, or 4%, to $40,946,000
in 1997 from $42,730,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of higher contractual
allowances in 1997 and relatively constant procedure volumes.
 
  Revenues in 1997 were adversely affected by higher contractual allowance
estimates, including a component related to the ultimate collectibility of
amounts related to the Company's Type III revenue. These contractual allowance
estimates are largely dependent upon reimbursement rates from third party
payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and managed care providers. Management
believes that the Company's overall reimbursement rates will continue to
gradually decline for some period of time, due to factors such as the
expansion of managed care organizations and continued national healthcare
reform efforts. The Company will endeavor to mitigate the impact of any
decline in reimbursement rates by decreasing costs and increasing referral
volume. If the rate of decline in reimbursement rates were to increase
materially, or if the Company is unsuccessful in reducing its costs or
increasing its volume, the Company's results could be materially and adversely
affected.
 
  Revenue derived from personal injury claims, mainly involving automobile
accidents, represented approximately 24% of net service revenues for 1997.
Automobile insurance carriers generally pay the non-deductible non-co-pay
portion of the charge, with the remaining balance payable by the individual.
The timing of collection from the individual is partially dependent upon the
outcome and timing of any settlement or judgment of the injury claim.
Accordingly, such receivables typically require a longer period of time to
collect compared to the Company's other receivables, and in the experience of
the Company incur a higher bad debt expense. If the Company were to become
less successful in its efforts in collecting these receivables, the Company's
results could be materially and adversely affected.
 
  Operating costs increased $54,408,000, or 156%, to $89,234,000 in 1997 from
$34,826,000 in 1996, due primarily to operating costs of $35,079,000 related
to centers acquired during 1997. Operating costs at imaging centers acquired
during 1996 increased $18,155,000, or 149%, to $30,325,000 in 1997 from
$12,170,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of the timing of the 1996
acquisitions. Operating costs at imaging centers that were operated by the
Company for all of 1997 and 1996 increased $2,166,000, or 10%, to $23,830,000
in 1997 from $21,664,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of higher payroll and
related costs.
 
  Center operating margins, which represent net service revenue less imaging
center operating costs as a percent of net revenue, decreased in 1997 to 38%
from 46% in 1996 due primarily to higher contractual allowance estimates,
including a component related to the ultimate collectibility of amounts
related to the Company's Type III revenue, as described above, and generally
higher costs.
 
  The provision for uncollectible accounts receivable in 1997 was $20,364,000,
or 14% of related net service revenues, compared to the 1996 provision of
$4,705,000 or 7% of related net service revenues. The increase in the
provision for uncollectible accounts receivable was due to the deterioration
during 1997 in the aging of the Company's accounts receivable and a
reassessment by the Company of its expected future collections based upon 1997
collection activity, including analyzing collection experience of its personal
injury receivables. Accounts receivable before allowances for uncollectibles
aged over one-year increased to $21,485,000, or 25% of total receivables in
1997, from $7,016,000, or 14% of total receivables in 1996.
 
  Management expects its provision for uncollectible accounts receivable as a
percentage of revenues to approximate 8% for 1998. An additional reserve of
approximately 1% of net imaging revenues for uncollectible patient and third
party payors related to the Company's Type III centers is expected to be
reflected as a reduction in net revenues for 1998.
 
                                      22

  Corporate general and administrative expense in 1997 was $12,157,000, an
increase of $7,590,000 from the $4,567,000 recorded in 1996. This increase was
primarily due to higher payroll and related costs as a result of the expanded
business development activities and the resulting growth experienced during
the year. In March 1998, the Company announced a workforce reduction and
follow-on attrition program that is expected to result in reduced payroll
costs of approximately $5,000,000 per annum.
 
  During 1997, the Company recorded $2,536,000 of stock-option based
compensation expense. This non-cash charge was related to stock option grants
to employees and directors during 1996 and early 1997 that were subsequently
approved by the Company's stockholders in May, 1997.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense in 1997 was $18,733,080, compared to
$6,964,000 in 1996, or an increase of $11,769,000 due primarily to higher
equipment depreciation of $6,585,000 resulting from 1997 acquisitions and
increased goodwill amortization of $4,638,000.
 
  During 1997, the Company recorded a $12,962,000 loss from the impairment of
goodwill and other long-lived assets. This loss consists of the write-off of
goodwill of $10,425,000, covenants not to compete of $118,000 and fixed assets
of $2,419,000. Substantially all of the impairment relates to eight of the
Company's diagnostic imaging centers which were under performing. The Company
has recorded impairment losses for these centers because the sum of the
expected future cash flows, determined based on an assumed continuation of
current operating methods and structures, does not cover the carrying value of
the related long-lived assets. The Company is, however, investigating the
underlying causes of such under-performance to determine what actions, if any,
may be taken to improve the future operating performance of such centers.
 
  During 1997, the Company also recorded $9,723,000 of other unusual charges
consisting of (i) $3,256,000 for the estimated net costs associated with the
resolution of the shareholder and employee lawsuits, (ii) $2,243,000 for
higher than normal professional fees, (iii) $2,169,000 ($2,051,000 of which
was a non-cash charge related to the issuance of 817,000 common stock
warrants) for penalties associated with delays in the registration of the
Company's common stock issued in connection with acquisitions or issuable upon
conversion of convertible preferred stock, (iv) $1,150,000 for the loss on
investment related to a potential acquisition not consummated, (v) $469,000
for costs associated with the investigation of related party transactions and
(vi) $436,000 for management termination benefits and related costs.
 
  The Company expects to incur additional unusual charges of at least
$4,500,000 during 1998 primarily related to the estimated net costs associated
with the resolution of the shareholder and employee lawsuits, penalties
associated with delays in the registration of the Company's Common Stock, and
costs associated with the investigation of related party transactions which
was concluded in April 1998. Such additional amounts could be substantially
higher depending upon the outcome of current negotiations regarding penalties
associated with the failure to register the Company's common stock and the
outcome of certain litigation.
 
  Net interest expense for 1997 was $8,814,000 as compared to $2,834,000 for
1996, an increase of $5,980,000. This increase was primarily attributable to
higher outstanding debt, including the issuance of $78,000,000 of Senior Notes
during 1997, notes payable of $36,505,000 and capital lease obligations
totaling $26,612,000 assumed in connection with the Company's acquisitions.
 
  The Company's earnings in 1997 were reduced by $636,000 attributable to
minority interests, as compared to $308,000 in 1996. The increase of $328,000
is primarily due to the acquisition of entities during 1997 that operate
limited partnerships with minority holdings.
 
  The provision for income taxes in 1997 was $1,221,000, as compared to
$3,575,000 in 1996. During 1997, the income tax benefit calculated based upon
the Company's pre-tax loss was reduced by an income tax valuation allowance of
$10,700,000. This valuation allowance was recorded due to uncertainty
regarding the realization of the full amount of the Company's net deferred
income tax assets.

  The Company's net loss from continuing operations for 1997 was $31,968,000
compared to net income from continuing operations for 1996 of $6,983,000.
 
  The net loss applicable to common stockholders (used in computing loss per
common share) in 1997 includes charges of $1,938,000 related to Common Stock
subject to redemption and convertible preferred stock. These charges relate to
price protection agreements provided in connection with the Company's 1997
acquisitions of $1,696,000 and the accretion of the Company's preferred stock
of $242,000.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1996, net service revenues amounted to
$64,762,000 versus $35,860,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $28,902,000 or 80.6%. Management fee and use revenues for
diagnostic imaging services increased $8,270,000 from $31,174,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $39,445,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $1,326,000 (4.5%) at
centers which were included in revenue for all of 1996 and 1995; $2,752,000
(169%) in revenue at a center acquired during 1995 and $4,192,000 of revenue
contributed by imaging centers acquired during 1996.
 
  Diagnostic imaging patient service revenues increased $20,631,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996 to $25,317,000 from $4,686,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. This increase is attributable to an increase of $615,000
(19%) at centers which were included in revenue for all of 1995 and 1996;
$2,670,000 (183%) at centers acquired during 1995 and; $22,032,000 of revenue
was contributed by centers acquired during 1996.
 
  Technical services payroll and related costs for the year ended December 31,
1996 amounted to $10,836,000 compared to $6,815,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, an increase of $4,021,000 or 59%.
 
  Medical supplies amounted to $4,223,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996
as compared to $2,439,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
$1,784,000 or 73%. Of this increase $1,725,000 or 97% is attributable to
centers acquired during 1995 and 1996.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1996 diagnostic equipment maintenance
increased $1,627,000 or 99% to $3,274,000 from $1,647,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. This increase is primarily due to centers acquired during
1995 and 1996.
 
  Independent contractor fees amounted to $1,202,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $437,000, for the year ended 1995. This
increase of $765,000 or 175% is attributable to the Type II (see Note 1)
centers acquired during 1995 and 1996.
 
  Administrative costs which include facilities rent, marketing costs and
personnel costs of employees whose activities relate to the operations of
multiple centers increased approximately $6,685,000 or 127% from $5,252,000
for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $11,937,000. This increase is
primarily due to costs incurred at imaging centers acquired during 1995 and
1996.
 
  Other costs increased by $1,924,000 or 134% for the year ended December 31,
1996 to $3,354,000 as compared to $1,430,000 in the prior year primarily due
to an increase in accounting, legal and professional fees for the centers.
 
  Provision for uncollectible accounts receivable increased $1,327,000 or 39%
from $3,378,000 from the year ended December 31, 1995 to $4,705,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The 1996 provision for uncollectible accounts
consists of 7.3% of revenue as compared to 9.4% of revenue in 1995. The
decrease in the provision for uncollectible accounts receivable as a
percentage of revenues is due to acquired companies having a more favorable
collection experience due to differences in payor mix.
 
 
                                      24

  Corporate general and administrative expense increased by $1,573,000 or 53%
from $2,994,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $4,567,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily due to the expanded
business development activities and the resulting growth experienced during
the year, particularly following the acquisition of NMR of America, Inc.
("NMR").
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense was $6,964,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared to $4,274,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995
or an increase of $2,690,000 or 63% due primarily to depreciation expense
relating to acquired assets and increased goodwill amortization incurred in
connection with such acquisitions.
 
  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $2,834,000 as
compared to $1,829,000 for the prior year, an increase of $1,005,000 or 55%.
This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest on
convertible debentures and lines of credit outstanding during 1996 of $646,000
and increases in interest on debt assumed in acquisitions during 1996 totaling
$764,000 offset by decreases in interest expense relating to scheduled
reductions in outstanding principal balances.
 
  Minority interest amounted to $308,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996
as compared to ($124,000) for the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase
of $432,000 or 348.4% is attributable to increased profitability at the
Company's St. Petersburg, Florida and Yonkers, New York facilities ($383,000)
and the acquisition of the NMR facilities ($49,000).
 
  The provisions for income taxes increased $2,332,000 or 188% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from $1,243,000 to $3,575,000. This increase is
attributable to the increased profitability of the Company's existing and
acquired businesses during 1996 and an increase in the Company's effective
income tax rate. The Company's provision for income taxes resulted in
effective tax rates of 33.9% in 1996 and 22.4% in 1995, respectively.
 
  The 1996 provision was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state
and local income taxes, net of the Federal tax effect (6.3%), the impact on
non-deductible goodwill (1.8%) and meals and entertainment, offset by other
items amounting to (8.2%). In 1995, the effective tax rate was lower than the
statutory rate primarily due to a reduction in the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance (27.7%) offset by other items amounting to 16.3%.
 
  For the reasons described above, the Company's net income from continuing
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $2,737,000 or 64.5%
from $4,246,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $6,983,000.
 
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
 Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1997
 
  Net service revenues for StarMed increased to $19,816,000 in the first
quarter of 1998 from $13,146,000 in the first quarter of 1997, an increase of
$6,670,000 or 51%. Internal growth in the staffing business, consisting
primarily of the opening of new per diem offices, accounted for $2,401,000 of
the increase in revenues. Revenues at per diem offices acquired during the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 accounted for $2,735,000 of the
increase and revenues of $1,534,000 were contributed by per diem offices
acquired after March 31, 1997.
 
  Operating costs for StarMed for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
$15,725,000 compared to $10,737,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
an increase of $4,988,000 or 46%. Internal growth in the staffing business
accounted for $1,841,000 of the increase in operating costs. Increased costs
at per diem offices opened or acquired during 1997 accounted for $3,147,000 of
the additional operating costs.
 
  Center operating margins in for StarMed increased for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 to 21% from 18% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due
primarily to improved profitability of per diem offices opened or acquired
prior to 1997.

  Net earnings related to StarMed increased to $749,000 in the first quarter
of 1998 from $240,000 in the first quarter of 1997.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996
 
  Net service revenues for StarMed increased to $57,974,000 in 1997 from
$29,023,000 in 1996, an increase of $28,951,000 or 100%. Internal growth in
the staffing business, consisting primarily of the opening of new per diem
offices, accounted for $5,442,000 of the increase in revenues. Increased
revenues at per diem offices opened or acquired during 1996 accounted for
$16,861,000 of revenues and revenues of $6,648,000 were contributed by per
diem offices acquired during 1997.
 
  Operating costs for StarMed in 1997 were $46,831,000 compared to $24,238,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996, an increase of $22,593,000 or 93%.
Internal growth in the staffing business, accounted for $4,143,000 of the
increase in operating costs. Increased costs at per diem offices opened or
acquired during 1996 accounted for $11,812,000 of the higher operating costs
and operating costs of $5,646,000 were contributed by per diem offices
acquired during 1997.
 
  Center operating margins for StarMed increased in 1997 to 19% from 16% due
primarily to improved profitability of per diem offices opened or acquired
prior to 1997.
 
  Net earnings related to StarMed increased to $729,000 in 1997 from $271,000
in 1996.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995
 
  StarMed revenues increased $12,890,000 (80.3%) primarily due to internal
growth and acquisitions. Internal growth in the staffing segment consisting of
the opening of new per diem offices accounted for approximately $3,200,000 of
the increase in staffing revenue. Increased revenues at per diem offices
opened during 1995, related primarily to improved volume as these offices
matured from their start up phase, accounted for approximately $3,400,000 of
the increase in staffing revenues. Per diem staffing businesses acquired
during 1996 contributed approximately $6,300,000 in revenues during the year.
 
  Technical services payroll and related costs for StarMed for the year ended
December 31, 1996 amounted to $24,238,000 compared to $12,711,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $11,527,000 or 91%. Of this increase
$6,569,000 or 42% is attributable to the opening of new per Diem offices and
the staffing acquisitions and $2,622,000 increase is due to the maturation of
per diem offices opened in 1995.
 
  Net earnings related to StarMed were $271,000 for 1996, as compared to a net
loss of $103,000 for 1995.
 
  Net loss related to the Company's discontinued maternity apparel subsidiary
was $2,453,000 in 1995.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company's primary source of cash flow
was from reductions in the Company's cash balances of $10,166,000 and
borrowings under the Company's line of credit of $2,847,000. The primary use
of cash was the repayment of principal amount of capital lease obligations and
notes and mortgages payable of $4,316,000, and repurchase of Common Stock
subject to redemption as a result of the exercise of puts provided by the
Company in connection with 1997 acquisitions of $2,547,000. Operating
activities resulted in a net use of cash of $5,025,000 during the first
quarter of 1998 due primarily to increases in accounts receivable.
 
  During 1997, the Company's primary source of cash flow was from financing
activities, largely as a result of net proceeds from the Senior Notes of
$76,523,000, net proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock of
$16,965,000, and other financing activities. The primary use of cash was to
fund acquisitions which totaled $73,121,000 and to fund the repayment of
certain notes and capital lease obligations of $13,764,000.
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
Operating activities resulted in a net use of cash of $5,322,000 during 1997
due primarily to increases in accounts receivable.
 
  Net cash provided by operating activities for 1996 and 1995 was $1,450,000
and $2,335,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $885,000 in 1996. The
decrease was due primarily to a large increase in accounts receivable and
certain other assets which relate primarily to the Company's expansion
activities offset by increases in net income, non-cash charges and other
liabilities. In 1996, net cash used in investing activities totaled
$16,703,000 which includes (i) $8,569,000 expended for the purchase of
diagnostic imaging centers, offset by $2,157,000 of cash acquired in the
acquisition of NMR, (ii) $2,314,000 for the purchase of Per Diem staffing
businesses and (iii) $184,000 for the purchase of limited partnership
interests. During 1996, the Company purchased $6,137,000 of investments,
$4,500,000 of these investments were subsequently set aside (restricted)
pursuant to the terms of a letter of credit issued in connection with an
acquisition. An additional $600,000 in cash was set aside (restricted)
pursuant to a letter of credit issued in conjunction with a consulting
agreement to which the Company is a party. The Company expended $1,070,000 in
1996 for medical diagnostic and office equipment. Financing activities
provided $27,110,000 in cash during the year ended December 31, 1996, which
consisted of net proceeds of $25,164,000 received through a public offering of
the Company's Common Stock, $6,533,000 of net proceeds from the issuance of
subordinated debentures, $1,229,000 proceeds from borrowings during the year
(used to purchase equipment for the imaging centers), $2,022,000 realized from
the exercise of stock options and warrants, offset by $7,773,000 utilized for
the repayment of debt and capital lease obligations and $64,000 used to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.
 
  The Company has never declared a dividend on its Common Stock and under the
Company's Senior Note agreement, the payments of such dividends is not
permitted.
 
  As a result of the 1997 net loss, the Company is currently in default of
certain financial covenants under the Company's $78,000,000 of Senior Notes.
Management and the Senior Note holders are engaged in discussions to resolve
this matter. In the event the parties are unable to reach agreement, the
lenders are entitled, at their discretion, to exercise certain remedies
including acceleration of repayment. There can be no assurance that the Senior
Note holders will provide the Company with an amendment or waiver of the
defaults. In addition, certain medical equipment notes, and operating and
capital leases of the Company contain provisions which allow the creditors or
lessors to accelerate their debt or terminate their leases and seek certain
other remedies if the Company is in default under the terms of agreements such
as the Senior Notes.
 
  In the event that the Senior Note holders or the other creditors or lessors
elect to exercise their right to accelerate the obligations under the Senior
Notes or the other loans and leases, such acceleration would have a material
adverse effect on the Company, its operations and its financial condition.
Furthermore, if such obligations were to be accelerated, in whole or in part,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in identifying
or consummating financing necessary to satisfy the obligations which would
become immediately due and payable. As a result of the uncertainty related to
the defaults and corresponding remedies described above, the Senior Notes and
the other loans and capital leases are shown as current liabilities on the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
and the Company has a deficit in working capital more fully described below.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. In addition to continuing to negotiate with the Senior
Note holders in an attempt to obtain waivers or amendments of the
aforementioned defaults, the Company has taken various actions in response to
this situation, including the following: (i) it effected a workforce reduction
in March 1998 aimed at reducing the Company's overall expense levels, and (ii)
it has retained the investment banking firm of SBC Warburg Dillon Read to
assist the Company in the sale of the Company's StarMed temporary staffing
subsidiary. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). The financial
statements do not include any further adjustments reflecting the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
 
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
  The Company has a working capital deficit of $59,043,000 at March 31, 1998
compared to a working capital deficit of $58,174,000 at December 31, 1997 and
a working capital surplus of $42,775,000 at December 31, 1996. The deficit at
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 is primarily due to $78,000,000 of Senior
Notes due 2001 through 2005 and other debt and capital leases shown as current
liabilities as a result of financial covenant defaults under such agreements.
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions in which the
Company issued shares of its Common Stock as consideration, the Company agreed
to register such shares for resale pursuant to the federal securities laws. In
certain of such acquisitions, the Company has granted specific remedies to the
sellers in the event that a registration statement covering the relevant
shares is not declared effective by the SEC within an agreed-upon period of
time, including the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares
issued to such seller. In the event the Company is unable to register such
shares by the required dates, the Company would become obligated to repurchase
the shares issued in connection with such acquisition. As of June 10, 1998,
the Company had not registered any shares of Common Stock issued in connection
with the Company's 1997 acquisitions under a registration statement declared
effective by the SEC. As of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company
had reflected $7,187,000 and $9,734,000, respectively, of Common Stock subject
to redemption on its Consolidated Balance Sheets related to shares that the
Company is, has agreed to or may be required to repurchase. During the first
quarter of 1998, the Company paid $2,547,000 to sellers who exercised their
rights to have shares of Common Stock repurchased. Furthermore, from April 1,
1998 through May 26, 1998, the Company paid an additional $728,000 to such
sellers. In addition, the Company expects to pay an additional $5,763,000
during the remainder of 1998 ($3,695,000 of which was due and payable on June
3, 1998 (the "June 1998 Repurchase Obligation") but has not yet been paid by
the Company) in connection with the settlement of certain repurchase
obligations of the Company subject, under certain circumstances, to the
consent of the Senior Notes holders. With respect to the June 1998 Repurchase
Obligation which remains due and payable, the Company is in discussions with
the sellers to whom such obligations are owed and the Senior Note holders
regarding the timing and satisfaction of the June 1998 Repurchase Obligation.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of such acquisitions, the Company
has agreed with the sellers in such acquisitions to pay to the sellers (in
additional shares and/or cash) an amount equal to the shortfall in the value
of the issued shares in the event the market value of such shares at the
relevant effective date of the registration statement or other negotiated date
is less than the market value of such shares as of the closing of the
acquisition or, in other cases, as of the execution of the relevant
acquisition agreement (referred to as "Price Protection"). Based upon the
closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock on July 16, 1998 ($3 1/8 per
share), such shortfall would be approximately $9,441,000, which amount may be
reduced by up to $5,977,000 to the extent certain sellers exercise their
repurchase rights referred to above.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the
Company has agreed with the relevant sellers that all or a portion of the
consideration for such acquisitions will be paid on a contingent basis based
upon the profitability, revenues or other financial criteria of the acquired
business during an agreed-upon measurement period following the closing of the
acquisition (usually, one to three years). The specific terms of such
contingent consideration differ for each acquisition. In connection with
certain acquisitions, the Company and the relevant sellers have agreed to a
maximum amount of contingent consideration and in other cases the parties have
agreed that any payment of such contingent consideration may be paid in cash
or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.
 
  Although the Company has the option, in certain cases, to pay certain of
such amounts in shares of Common Stock, payment of significant cash funds to
sellers in the event such remedies or earnout provisions are triggered could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash flow and financial
condition. In addition, the Company may be required to finance all or a
portion of any such cash payments from third-party sources. No assurance can
be given that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company. In addition, the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock in
payment of any such owed amounts could be dilutive to the Company's
stockholders.

  Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated July 21, 1997, and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
July 21, 1997, as amended between the Company and RGC International, LDC
("RGC") (hereinafter referred to as the "RGC Agreements"), the Company issued
18,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $1,000 stated value per
share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") to RGC. Under the RGC Agreements, the
Company was required to use its best efforts to include the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "RGC
Conversion Shares") in an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 not
later than October 1997. As amended, the RGC Agreements provide for monthly
penalties ("RGC Registration Penalties") in the event that the Company fails
to register the Conversion Shares prior to October 1997 with such penalties
continuing until July 23, 1998.
 
  As a result of the Company's failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares
at various dates on or after December 31, 1997, the Company: (i) issued
warrants to RGC to acquire 1,167,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price ranging from $11.62 to $12.95 per share, subject to reset in November
1998 (such warrants having an estimated value for accounting purposes, of
$3,245,000); and (ii) issued interest bearing promissory notes (the "RGC
Penalty Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $2,450,000 due the
earlier of (x) January 4, 1999 and (y) the later of (A) five business days
following the sale of StarMed and (B) October 15, 1998 in the event the sale
of StarMed occurs before October 15, 1998. The principal amount of and
interest accrued on the RGC Penalty Notes may be converted, at the option of
the Company or RGC in certain circumstances, into additional shares of Series
C Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Pursuant to an amendment to the RGC
Agreements entered into in June 1998, the Company will no longer incur any
monthly penalties for failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares following
July 23, 1998. However, if the RGC Conversion Shares are not registered as of
September 15, 1998, RGC may demand a one-time penalty of $1,550,000 (the
"September 1998 Penalty"), payable, at the option of RGC, in cash or
additional shares of Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to register the RGC Conversion Shares by such date or that the
Company will be able to pay the RGC Penalty Notes when due or the September
1998 Penalty, if such payment becomes due.
  In addition to matters discussed above, the Company is subject to litigation
that may require additional future cash outlays.
 
  On May 14, 1998, management appeared before the Nasdaq Qualifications
Hearing Panel (the "Panel"). This hearing resulted from the Company's failure
to file timely its Form 10-K for 1997 and was held to determine if the
Company's Common Stock should continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock
Market. On May 29, 1998, the Company was advised that the Panel determined to
continue the listing of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market
subject to certain conditions. The Company was required to file its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 on or before June 12,
1998, which the Company was able to do, and must evidence compliance with
either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets test or one of Nasdaq's
alternative requirements by July 24, 1998.
 
  Based on the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on July 16, 1998
($3 1/8) and the Company's net tangible assets as of March 31, 1998, the
Company does not currently satisfy either Nasdaq's minimum net tangible assets
requirement or one of the alternative requirements for continued listing,
which include, among other things, a minimum bid price for the Common Stock of
$5.00 per share. In order to satisfy the continued listing requirements, the
Company submitted for shareholder approval a reverse stock split in order to
meet or exceed the $5.00 minimum bid price. In the event the Company does not
satisfy either the minimum net tangible assets requirement or is unable to
meet or exceed the $5.00 per share requirement, the Panel will consider moving
the Common Stock to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, provided the Company is able
to demonstrate compliance with the applicable maintenance criteria. On July
23, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split of the
Common Stock at the Company's 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The
Company's Board of Directors has not yet authorized any reverse stock split.
Therefore, the information in this Prospectus does not give effect to any
reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that in the future the Common
Stock will meet the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Stock
Market.
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's sources of liquidity consist of its cash balances and its
ability to enter into operating leases to fund expansions and equipment
replacement at its centers. At March 31, 1998 and May 29, 1998, the Company's
cash and cash equivalents were $13,032,000 and $10,711,000 respectively. In
addition, in March of 1998, the Company announced its intention to explore
strategic alternatives for (and the possible sale of) its StarMed temporary
staffing subsidiary, which the Company expects may result in cash proceeds to
Medical Resources, Inc. Assuming that the Company (i) reaches satisfactory
resolution with the Senior Note lenders regarding the financial covenant
defaults, and (ii) sells its Temporary Staffing and Per Diem business over the
next several months (see discussion below), while no assurance can be given,
the Company believes that it will have sufficient funds available to finance
its working capital requirements through 1998.
 
SALE OF STARMED
 
  On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the
StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the StarMed
Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders, is expected to occur in late
July or in August of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results
of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated
Statements Of Operations as discontinued operations.
 
  Net cash proceeds from the StarMed Sale at closing, before income taxes but
after estimated costs of sale and after the repayment of StarMed's outstanding
third-party debt, is expected to be approximately $19 million. Net of cash of
approximately $4 million at June 30, 1998 in the StarMed business (which will
be retained by RehabCare Group, Inc.), the StarMed Sale is expected to
increase the Company's consolidated cash balance at closing by approximately
$15 million. $2 million of the $33 million sales price will be placed in
escrow at closing to be available, for a specified period of time, to offset
indemnification obligations that may be incurred by the Company; subject to
actual claims experience, part or all of this amount will be payable to the
Company over time as additional cash proceeds. For accounting purposes, a
pretax gain from the StarMed Sale of approximately $5 million is expected to
be reported in the third quarter of 1998.
 
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
 
  The Company believes that its imaging business is generally unaffected by
seasonality. The Company's temporary staffing business usually experiences
lower revenues during the third quarter due to reduced activity during the
summer months.
 
  The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company has been
primarily limited to salary, medical and film supplies and rent increases and
has not been material to date to the Company's operations. Management is aware
of general inflationary expectations and growing health care cost containment
pressures, and believes that the Company may not be able to raise the prices
for its diagnostic imaging procedures by an amount sufficient to offset such
negative effects. While the Company has responded to these concerns in the
past by increasing the volume of its business there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to increase its volume of business in the future. In
addition, current discussions within the Federal Government regarding national
health care reform are emphasizing containment of health care costs as well as
expansion of the number of eligible parties. The implementation of this reform
could have a material effect on the financial results of the Company.
 
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ON COMPANY'S COMPUTER SOFTWARE
 
  The Computer programming code utilized in the Company's financial, billing
and imaging equipment systems were generally written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs
have time-sensitive software that recognizes a date using 00's as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations resulting in disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage
in other normal business activities.
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
  The Company has completed an assessment of its material financial and
billing computer systems. The Company is in the process of upgrading these
systems to be Year 2000 compliant and expects to complete this process by late
1998 to early 1999. The cost to be incurred related to Year 2000 compliance
for these systems is currently not expected to be material.
 
  The Company has initiated a program to determine whether the computer
applications of its significant payors and suppliers will be upgraded in a
timely manner. The Company has also initiated a program to determine whether
embedded applications that control certain medical and other equipment will be
affected. The Company has not yet completed these reviews. The nature of the
Company's business is such that any failure to these types of applications may
have a material adverse effect on its business.
 
  Because of the many uncertainties associated with Year 2000 compliance
issues, and because the Company's assessment is necessarily based on
information from third party-vendors, payors and suppliers, there can be no
assurance that the Company's assessment is correct or as to the materiality or
effect of any failure of such assessment to be correct.
 
  Software sold by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dalcon Technologies,
Inc., is expected to be fully year 2000 compliant in connection with the
annual upgrade planned for late 1998.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires an entity to report
comprehensive income and its components for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. This new standard increases financial reporting
disclosures, but will have no impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
 
  Statement Of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", requires an entity to expense all
software development costs incurred in the preliminary project state training
costs and data conversion costs for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The Company believes that this statement will not have a material effect
on the Company's accounting for computer software acquisition cost.
 
  Statement Of Position 97-2, "Consolidation of Physicians' Practice
Entities", requires an entity to consolidate Physicians' Practice Entities in
circumstances in which substantial control is exercised by the Company. The
Company believes that this statement will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
  Statements contained in this Prospectus that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results may differ
materially from that projected or suggested herein due to certain risks and
uncertainties including, without limitation: the ability of the Company to
effectively integrate the operations and information systems of businesses
acquired in 1997 and earlier; the ability of the Company to generate net
positive cash flows from operations; the payment timing and ultimate
collectibility of accounts receivable (including purchased accounts
receivable) from different payor groups (including Personal Injury-type); the
economic impact of involuntary share repurchases and other payments (including
price protection payments and penalty payments) caused by the delay in the
effectiveness of the Company's Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part and by the recent decline in the Company's share price; the ability
of the Company to cure any defaults under its debt agreements and/or other
obligations, in general, and in a manner that avoids significant common stock
dilution; the impact of a changing and increasing mix of managed care and
personal injury claim business on contractual allowance provisions, net
revenues and bad debt provisions; the ultimate economic impact of recent
litigation including shareholder and former management lawsuits against the
Company and certain of its Directors; the availability of debt and/or equity
capital, on reasonable terms, to finance operations as needed and to finance
growth; and the effects of federal and state laws and regulations on the
Company's business over time. Additional information concerning certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
that projected or suggested may be identified from time to time in the
Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings and the Company's public
announcements.

specializes in the operation and management of fixed-site outpatient
diagnostic imaging centers, and also provides temporary healthcare staffing
services to acute and sub-acute care facilities. Through its Diagnostic
Imaging division, the Company currently operates 98 outpatient diagnostic
imaging centers located in the Northeast (58), Southeast (24), the Midwest
(11) and California (5), and provides network management services to managed
care organizations. The Company has grown rapidly and has increased the number
of diagnostic imaging centers it operates from 39 at December 31, 1996 to 98
at May 26, 1998. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dalcon
Technologies, Inc. ("Dalcon"), also develops and markets software products and
systems for the diagnostic imaging industry.
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the
StarMed Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders, is expected to occur in late
July or in August of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results
of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated

provide diagnostic imaging services in a comfortable, service-oriented
outpatient environment to patients referred by physicians. At each of its
centers, the Company provides management, administrative, marketing and
technical services, as well as equipment, technologists and facilities, to
physicians who interpret scans performed on patients. Medical services at the
Company's imaging centers are provided by board certified interpreting
physicians, generally radiologists, with whom the Company enters into
contracts. Of the Company's 98 centers, 84 provide magnetic resonance imaging.
Many of the Company's centers also provide some or all of the following
services: computerized tomography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, general
radiology, fluoroscopy and mammography.
 
  The Company's goal is to become the leading operator of fixed-site
outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the United States. The number of
outpatient diagnostic imaging centers in the United States is estimated to
have grown from approximately 700 in 1984 to approximately 2,500 as of
December 31, 1997. Ownership of fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging
centers is highly fragmented, with no dominant national provider. The Company
believes that the environment faced by diagnostic imaging center operators is
characterized by an increased influence of managed care organizations, rising
business complexity, growing control over patient flows by payors, and
continued overall reimbursement pressures, all of which have been and will
continue to require center owners to seek operational efficiencies. In
addition, the Company believes that public and private reforms in the
healthcare industry emphasizing cost containment and accountability will
continue to shift the delivery of imaging services from highly fragmented,
individual or small center operators to companies operating larger multi-
modality networks of centers.
 
  The Company intends, over time, to capitalize on the fragmented nature of
the diagnostic imaging center industry through the acquisition of additional
centers. The Company's strategy has also been to seek to expand the scope and
efficiency of its operations at its existing and acquired facilities by: (i)
leveraging the geographic concentration of its centers; (ii) expanding the
imaging services offered by its centers by upgrading existing technology and
adding new modalities; (iii) applying sophisticated operating, financial and
information systems and procedures; (iv) utilizing targeted local marketing
programs; and (v) developing its network management services to address more
fully the needs of managed care organizations.
 
  Dalcon is a developer and provider of software system applications to

and support specifically designed for the administration and operation of
imaging centers, including patient scheduling, registration, transcription,
film tracking, billing, and insurance claim processing. The Company purchased
Dalcon in September 1997. As of June 1998, the substantial majority of the
Company's imaging centers had been fully integrated and operating on Dalcon's
ICIS system. In addition, in February 1998, Dalcon entered into a multi-year
agreement with HealthSouth Corporation, pursuant to which Dalcon is to install
its ICIS information system at all of HealthSouth's imaging centers not
currently using it.
 
  Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions. The Company's temporary staffing
business, StarMed, was founded in 1978 and acquired by the Company in August
1994. StarMed's Per Diem staffing division provides registered nurses,
licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants, therapists and medical
transcriptionists on a daily basis to healthcare facilities through 35 offices
located in 16 states as of March 31, 1998. StarMed's Travel Nursing division
is operated from a central office in Clearwater, Florida and provides
registered nurses and operating room technicians for periods usually ranging
from 8 to 26 weeks. StarMed commenced its Per Diem operations in March 1995
and, since that time, it has opened 31 offices, acquired 4 staffing companies
operating six additional offices and consolidated the operations of two other
offices. The Company's growth strategy for its temporary staffing business
includes offering new services to clients, expanding the number of markets
served by StarMed's Per Diem division and acquiring other companies in the
temporary healthcare staffing industry in selected markets. Due to the pending
StarMed Sale, the results of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the
Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

  Medical Resources was incorporated in Delaware in August 1990 and has its
principal executive office at 155 State Street, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601,
telephone number (201) 488-6230. Prior to the Company's incorporation, the
Company's operations, which commenced in 1979, were conducted by corporations
which are now among its subsidiaries.
 
DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES INDUSTRY
 
OVERVIEW
 
  Imaging centers have played a vital role in the healthcare delivery system
by offering diagnostic services such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MR"),
Computerized Tomography ("CT"), Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography and
X-ray in an outpatient setting. Diagnostic imaging procedures are used to
diagnose diseases and physical injuries through the use of various imaging
modalities. The use of non-invasive diagnostic imaging has grown rapidly in
recent years because it allows physicians to diagnose quickly and accurately a
wide variety of diseases and injuries without exploratory surgery or other
invasive procedures, which are usually more expensive, risky and potentially
debilitating for patients. In addition, diagnostic imaging is increasingly
being used as a screening tool for preventative care. While conventional X-ray
continues to be the primary imaging modality based on the number of procedures
performed, the use of MR and CT procedures has increased due to their more
sophisticated diagnostic capabilities. The Company believes that utilization
will continue to increase because of the growth in demand for diagnostic
imaging services as well as the introduction of new diagnostic imaging
procedures involving new or existing modalities.
 
EQUIPMENT AND MODALITIES
 
  Diagnostic imaging systems are generally based on the ability of energy
waves to penetrate human tissue and generate images of the body which can be
displayed either on film or on a video monitor. Imaging systems have evolved
from conventional x-rays to the advanced technologies of MR, CT, Ultrasound,
Nuclear Medicine and Mammography. The principal diagnostic imaging modalities
used by the Company include the following:
 
  Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MR is a sophisticated diagnostic imaging system
that utilizes a strong magnetic field in conjunction with low energy
electromagnetic waves which are processed by a computer to produce high
resolution images of body tissue. A principal element of MR imaging is that
the atoms in various
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
kinds of body tissue behave differently in response to a magnetic field,
enabling the differentiation of internal organs and normal and diseased
tissue. Unlike CT and X-rays, MR does not utilize ionizing radiation which can
cause tissue damage in high doses. As with other diagnostic imaging
technologies, MR is generally non-invasive.
 
  Computerized Tomography. CT is used to detect tumors and other conditions
affecting bones and internal organs. CT provides higher resolution images than
conventional X-rays. In a CT, a computer directs the movement of an X-ray tube
to produce multi-cross sectional images of a particular organ or area of the
body.
 
  Ultrasound. Ultrasound has widespread application, particularly for
procedures in obstetrics, gynecology and cardiology. Ultrasound imaging relies
on the computer-assisted processing of sound waves to develop images of
internal organs and the vascular system. A computer processes sound waves as
they are reflected by body tissue, providing an image that may be viewed
immediately on a computer screen or recorded continuously or in single images
for further interpretation.
 
  Nuclear Medicine. Nuclear medicine is used primarily to study anatomic and
metabolic functions. During a nuclear medicine procedure, short lived
radioactive isotopes are administered to the patient by ingestion or
injection. The isotopes release small amounts of radioactivity that can be
recorded by a gamma camera and processed by a computer to produce an image of
various anatomical structures.
 
  General Radiology and Fluoroscopy (X-ray). The most frequently used type of
imaging equipment in radiology utilizes "X-rays" or ionizing radiation to
penetrate the body and record images on film. Fluoroscopy uses a video viewing
system for real time monitoring of the organs being visualized.
 
  Mammography. Mammography is a specialized form of radiology equipment using
low dosage X-rays to visualize breast tissue. It is the primary screening tool
for breast cancer.
 
IMAGING CENTER LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
 
  The following table sets forth certain information concerning the imaging
centers operated by the Company. Imaging centers that are not 100% owned by
the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, are typically owned by limited
partnership or other business entities in which a subsidiary of the Company is
the sole general partner or manager. The equity ownership interest shown
includes general and limited partnership interests or other equity interests
owned by the Company. For the centers not wholly owned by the Company, the
Company is generally paid a management fee based on services provided under
management agreements with the imaging center's ownership entity.

(1) Operated by the Company or NMR of America, Inc. since such date.
(2) Represents the Company's ownership interest in the respective centers.
(3) Modalities are magnetic resonance imaging (MR), computerized tomography
    (CT), ultrasound (US), nuclear medicine (NM), radiology (R), fluorscopy
    (F) and mammography (M).
(4) Includes the operation of the Livingston Breast Care mammography unit
    which is located at the Northfield Imaging Center.
(5) The Company manages the operations of a radiology facility under the terms
    of a management agreement.
 
  Where it deems it economically attractive, the Company may further increase
its ownership of its non-wholly-owned centers by acquiring additional minority
interests in such centers, but there can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in so doing. The Company has also added new imaging equipment
modalities to certain centers and plans to continue this strategy in those
situations where the Company believes that such additions are economically
justified.
 
  Each center consists of a waiting/reception area and one room per modality,
dressing rooms, billing/administration rooms and radiologist interpreting
rooms. The size of the Company's centers generally ranges from 1,500 to 11,400
square feet.
 
GROWTH STRATEGY AT EXISTING AND ACQUIRED CENTERS
 
  Leveraging Geographic Concentration. The Company has developed clusters of
imaging centers in certain geographic areas that enable it to improve the
utilization of its centers by attracting business from larger referral
sources, such as managed care organizations, due to the Company's ability to
meet the quality, volume and geographical coverage requirements of these
payors. The Company intends, over time, to increase its center concentration
in existing markets to attract additional referrals of this type and to expand
into new geographic areas, through acquisitions, in order to attract
additional managed care and other contracts.
 
  Expanding Imaging Services Offered. The Company expands the imaging services
it offers by upgrading existing technology and adding new modalities at
selected centers. In 1997 and to date in 1998, the Company upgraded technology
and expanded service modalities at 15 centers. The Company's imaging centers
utilize state
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
of the art imaging equipment for which new applications are continually being
developed. New developments and system upgrades frequently have the ancillary
benefit of reducing imaging time and thus increasing capacity of the centers'
imaging equipment. The development and improvement of diagnostic quality
"open" MR systems have expanded the public acceptance and potential market for
MR imaging services. The Company currently operates 32 centers that provide MR
imaging services using "open" systems and the Company plans to expand this
coverage in markets where it believes such expansion is economically
justified.
 
  Apply Sophisticated Operating, Financial and Information Systems and
Procedures. The Company provides management expertise, financial and operating
controls, and capital resources to its centers in an attempt to optimize their
performance. The financial systems and operating procedures of acquired
centers are, over time, integrated with those of the Company. In that regard,
as of June 1998 the Company completed the installation of the ICIS system
developed by Dalcon in substantially all of its centers. The ICIS system will
enable the Company to standardize reporting of each center and provide
management with on- line access to its centers nationwide. In addition, the
Company is able to achieve economies of scale and provide cost savings in
developing managed care contracts and negotiating group purchasing of goods
and services.
 
  Utilize Targeted Localized Marketing. The Company develops and coordinates
marketing programs which center managers, sales representatives and affiliated
interpreting physicians utilize to establish referral relationships and to
maximize facility usage and reimbursement yield. The Company's marketing
programs emphasize the capabilities of its imaging equipment, the quality and
timeliness of the imaging results and reports, and the high level of patient
and referring physician service.
 
  Develop Network Management Services. The Company plans to develop and expand
further its network management services business. As a network manager, the
Company enters into contracts with managed care organizations to coordinate
the demand for imaging services and to provide certain administrative
functions related to the delivery of such services. The Company includes
certain of its centers in these networks and believes that the inclusion of
these centers in the networks will increase their utilization. In addition,
the Company believes that its network management services enhance its
relationships with managed care organizations and its ability to enter into
additional contracts with such entities.
 
CENTER OPERATIONS AND IMAGING SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY
 
  General. The Company's diagnostic imaging centers provide diagnostic imaging
services in a comfortable, service-oriented environment located mainly in an
outpatient setting to patients referred by physicians. Of the Company's 98
centers, 84 provide magnetic resonance imaging, which accounts for a majority
of the Company's diagnostic imaging revenues. Many of the Company's centers
also provide some or all of the following services: Computerized Tomography,
Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, General Radiology and Fluoroscopy and
Mammography.
 
  Interpreting Physician Arrangements. At each of the Company's centers, all
medical services are performed exclusively by physician groups (the "Physician
Group" or the "Interpreting Physician"), generally consisting of radiologists,
with whom the Company enters into independent contractor agreements. Pursuant
to these agreements, the Company, among other duties, provides to the
Physician Group the diagnostic imaging facility and equipment, performs all
marketing and administrative functions at the centers and is responsible for
the maintenance and servicing of the equipment and leasehold improvements. The
Physician Group is solely responsible for, and has complete and exclusive
control over, all medical and professional services performed at the centers,
including, most importantly, the interpretation of diagnostic images, as well
as the supervision of technicians, and medical-related quality assurance and
communications with referring physicians.
 
  Insofar as the Physician Group has complete and exclusive control over the
medical services performed at the centers, including the manner in which
medical services are performed, the assignment of individual physicians to
center duties and the hours that physicians are to be present at the center,
the Company believes
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
that the Interpreting Physicians who perform medical services at the centers
are independent contractors. In addition, Physician Groups that furnish
professional services at the centers generally have their own medical
practices and, in most instances, perform medical services at non-Company
related facilities. The Company's employees do not perform professional
medical services at the centers. Consequently, the Company believes that it
does not engage in the practice of medicine in jurisdictions that prohibit or
limit the corporate practice of medicine. The Company performs only
administrative and technical services and does not exercise any control over
the practice of medicine by physicians at the centers or employ physicians to
provide medical services. The Company is aware of three Interpreting
Physicians who own a nominal percentage of three limited partnerships that are
managed and partially owned by the Company.
 
  As part of its administrative responsibilities under the terms of the
Interpreting Physician agreements, the Company is responsible for the
administrative aspects of billing and collection functions at the centers.
Certain third-party payor sources, such as Medicare, insurance companies and
managed care organizations, require that they receive a single or "global"
billing statement for the imaging services provided at the Company's centers.
Consequently, billing is done in the name of the Physician Group because such
billings include a medical component. The Physician Group grants a power of
attorney to the Company authorizing the Company to establish bank accounts
using the Physician Group's name related to that center's collection
activities and to access such accounts. In states where permitted by law, such
as Florida, the Company generally renders bills in the center's name. In such
circumstances, the Physician Group has no access to associated collections.
 
  The Company recognizes revenue under its agreements with Interpreting
Physicians in one of three ways: (I) the Company receives a technical fee for
each diagnostic imaging procedure performed at the center, the amount of which
is fixed based upon the type of the procedure performed; (II) the Company pays
the Interpreting Physicians a fixed percentage of fees collected at the
center, or a contractually fixed amount based upon the specific diagnostic
imaging procedures performed; or, (III) the Company receives from an
affiliated physician association a fee for the use of the premises, a fee per
procedure for acting as billing and collection agent for the affiliated
physician association and for administrative and technical services performed
at the centers and the affiliated physician association pays the Physician
Group based upon a percentage of the cash collected at the center. All of such
amounts and the basis for payments are negotiated between the Physician Group
and the Company.
 
  The fees received or retained by the Company under the three types of
agreements with Interpreting Physicians described above, expressed as a
percentage of the gross billings net of contractual allowances for the imaging
services provided, range from 78% to 93% for the agreements described in item
(I), 80% to 93% for the agreements described in item (II) and 80% to 89% for
the agreements described in item (III). The agreements generally have terms
ranging from one to ten years. For additional information pertaining to the
Company's arrangements with Interpreting Physicians, see Note 1 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements--Revenue Recognition.
 
  Sales And Marketing. The Company develops and coordinates marketing programs
which center managers, sales representatives, affiliated Interpreting
Physicians and corporate managers utilize in an effort to establish and
maintain profitable referring physician relationships and to maximize
reimbursement yields. These marketing programs identify and target selected
market segments consisting of area physicians with certain desirable medical
specialties and reimbursement yields. Corporate and center managers determine
these market segments based upon an analysis of competition, imaging demand,
medical specialty and/or payor mix of each referral from the local market. The
Company also directs marketing efforts at managed care organizations.
 
  Managed care organizations are becoming an increasingly important factor in
the diagnostic imaging industry, and, consequently, the Company places major
emphasis on cultivating and developing relationships with such organizations.
The Company employs industry professionals who have significant experience in
dealing with managed care and other providers. The Company believes that the
geographic concentration of its centers, the presence of multi-modality
centers in all of its regions, its ability to offer cost effective services
and
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
its experience in developing relationships with various managed care
organizations will constitute a competitive advantage with managed care
organizations.
 
  Personal Injury Revenue. A significant percentage of the Company's net
service revenues from imaging centers is derived by providing imaging services
to individuals involved in personal injury claims, mainly involving automobile
accidents. Imaging revenue derived from personal injury claims, mainly
involving automobile accidents, represented approximately 24% of the
Diagnostic Imaging business net service revenues for 1997. Due to the greater
complexity in processing receivables relating to personal injury claims with
automobile insurance carriers (including dependency on the outcome of
settlements or judgements for collections directly from such individuals),
such receivables typically require a longer period of time to collect,
compared to the Company's other receivables and, in the experience of the
Company, incur a higher bad debt expense.
 
  While the collection process employed by the Company varies from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the processing of a typical personal injury
claim generally commences with the Company obtaining and verifying automobile,
primary health and secondary health insurance information at the time services
are rendered. The Company then generates and sends a bill to the automobile
insurance carrier, which under state law, typically has an extended period of
time (usually up to 105 days) to accept or reject a claim. The amount of
documentation required by the automobile insurance carriers to support a claim
is substantially in excess of what most other payors require and carriers
frequently request additional information after the initial submission of a
claim. If the individual is subject to a co-payment or deductible under the
automobile insurance policy or has no automobile insurance coverage, the
Company generally will bill the individual's primary and secondary health
policies for the uncovered balance. The automobile insurance carrier may
reject coverage or fail to accept a claim within the statutory time limit on
the basis of, among other reasons, the failure to provide complete
documentation. In such circumstances, the Company may pursue arbitration,
which typically takes up to 90 days for a judgment, to collect from the
carrier.
 
  The Company will then pursue collection of the remaining receivable from the
individual. Although the Company attempts to bill promptly after providing
services and typically requests payment upon receipt of invoice, the Company
generally defers aggressive collection efforts for the remaining balance until
the individual's claim is resolved in court, which frequently takes longer
than a year and may take as long as two or three years. Consequently, the
Company's practice is to attempt to obtain a written assurance from the
individual and the individual's legal counsel, under which the individual
confirms in writing his or her obligation to pay the outstanding balance
regardless of the outcome of any settlement or judgment of the claim. If the
settlement or judgment proceeds received by the individual are insufficient to
cover the individual's obligation to the Company, and the individual does not
otherwise satisfy his or her liability to the Company, the Company either (i)
accepts a reduced amount in full satisfaction of the individual's outstanding
obligation, or (ii) commences collection proceedings, which may ultimately
result in the Company taking legal action to enforce its collection rights
against the individual regarding all uncollected accounts. As a result of the
foregoing, the average age of receivables relating to personal injury claims
is greater than for non-personal injury claim receivables.
 
  Managed Care Capitation Agreements. The Company has entered into a number of
"capitated contracts" with third party payors which typically provide for the
payment of a fixed fee per month on a per member basis, without regard to the
amount or scope of services rendered. Because the obligations to perform
service are not related to the payments, it is possible that either the cost
or the value of the services performed may significantly exceed the fees
received, and there may be a significant period between the time the services
are rendered and payment is received. While only approximately 2% of the
Company's 1997 net service revenues were derived from capitated contracts, and
although the Company carefully analyzes the potential risks of capitation
arrangements, there can be no assurances that any capitated contracts to which
the Company is or may in the future become a party will not generate
significant losses to the Company.
 
  In addition, certain types of capitation agreements may be deemed a form of
risk contracting. Many states limit the extent to which any person can engage
in risk contracting, which involves the assumption of a financial risk with
respect to providing services to a patient. If the fees received by the
Company are less than the cost of
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
providing the services, the Company may be deemed to be acting as a de facto
insurer. In some states, only certain entities, such as insurance companies,
HMOs and independent practice associations, are permitted to contract for the
financial risk of patient care. In such states, risk contracting in certain
cases has been deemed to be engaging in the business of insurance. The Company
believes that it is not in violation of any restrictions on risk bearing or
engaging in the business of insurance. If the Company is held to be unlawfully
engaged in the business of insurance, such finding could result in civil or
criminal penalties or require the restructuring of some or all of the
Company's operations, which could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business.
 
  Billings And Collections. Under the Interpreting Physician agreements, the
Company is generally responsible for preparing and submitting bills per
imaging study performed. The preparation and submission of bills is completed
by each center, or by a regional billing office, generally on behalf of and in
the name of the appropriate Interpreting Physician. Prior to 1998, each center
was also responsible for collecting its own receivables and pursuing any
parties that were delinquent in payment of their bills. In February 1998, the
Company commenced a restructuring of its collection efforts for the purpose of
ultimately consolidating all collection activities within four or more
regional collection offices. The restructuring is in response to the need to
improve overall collection results and controls, and to better coordinate
collection efforts previously employed by individual centers (especially where
third parties had been retained to manage the center's collection efforts), as
well as the need to integrate the Company's 1997 acquisitions and to insure
consistent Company-wide collection policies and practices.
 
  Management Information Systems. The Company acquired Dalcon in September
1997. As of June 1998, a substantial majority of the Company's imaging centers
had been fully operating on Dalcon's ICIS radiology information system. The
ICIS radiology information system is designed to, among other things, enhance
the efficiency and productivity of the Company's centers, lower operating
costs, facilitate financial controls, increase reimbursement and assist in the
analysis of sales, marketing and referral data. The ICIS system provides on-
line, real-time information, reporting and access to managers with respect to
billing, patient scheduling, marketing, sales, accounts receivable, referrals
and collections, as well as other matters.
 
  Healthcare Reform and Cost Reduction Efforts. Third-party payors, including
Medicare, Medicaid, managed care/HMO organizations and certain commercial
payors have taken extensive steps to contain or reduce the costs of
healthcare. In certain areas, the payors are subject to regulations which
limit the amount of payments. Discussions within the Federal government
regarding national healthcare reform are emphasizing containment of healthcare
costs. In addition, certain managed care organizations have negotiated
capitated payment arrangements for imaging services. Under capitation
arrangements, diagnostic imaging service providers are compensated using a
fixed rate per member of the managed care organization regardless of the
number of procedures performed or the total cost of rendering diagnostic
services to the members. Services provided under these contracts are expected
to become an increasingly significant part of the Company's business. The
inability of the Company to properly manage the administration of capitated
contracts could materially adversely effect the Company. Although patients are
ultimately responsible for payment of services rendered, substantially all of
the Company's imaging centers' revenues are derived from third-party payors.
Successful reduction of reimbursement amounts and rates, changes in services
covered, delays or denials of reimbursement claims, negotiated or discounted
pricing and other similar measures could materially adversely affect the
Company's respective imaging centers' revenues, profitability and cash flow.
 
  The Company's management believes that overall reimbursement rates will
continue to gradually decline for some period of time due to factors such as
the expansion of managed care organizations and continued national healthcare
reform efforts. The Company enters into contractual arrangements with managed
care organizations which, due to the size of their membership, are able to
command reduced rates for services. The Company expects these agreements to
increase the number of procedures performed due to the additional referrals
from these managed care entities. However, there can be no assurance that the
increased volume of procedures associated with these contractual arrangements
will offset the reduction in reimbursement rate per procedure.
 
                                      40
<PAGE>
 
ACQUIRED CENTERS; COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS
 
  Since 1996, the Company has grown by aggressively acquiring imaging centers
and integrating their operations. The Company has acquired 92 imaging centers
through 27 acquisitions since January 1, 1996. When the Company acquires an
imaging center, it generally acquires assets relating to the provision of
technical, financial, administrative and marketing services which support the
provision of medical services performed by the Interpreting Physicians. Such
assets typically include equipment, furnishings, supplies, tradenames of the
center, books and records, contractual rights with respect to leases, managed
care and other agreements and, in most instances, accounts receivable. Other
than with respect to such accounts receivable for services performed by the
acquired company, the Company does not acquire any rights with respect to or
have any direct relationship, with patients. Patients have relationships with
referral sources who are the primary or specialty care physicians for such
patients. These physicians refer their patients to diagnostic imaging centers
which may include the Company's centers where Interpreting Physicians, under
independent contractor agreements, provide professional medical services. The
Company's acquired imaging centers do not constitute either a radiology,
primary care or specialty care medical practice. In connection with an
acquisition of a center, the Company will generally enter into an agreement,
as described above, with a Physician Group to act as an independent contractor
to perform medical services at the center.
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions in which the
Company issued shares of its Common Stock as consideration, the Company agreed
to register such shares for resale pursuant to the federal securities laws. In
certain of such acquisitions, the Company has granted specific remedies to the
sellers in the event that a registration statement covering the relevant
shares is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") within an agreed-upon period of time, including the right to
require the Company to repurchase the shares issued to such seller. In the
event the Company is unable to register such shares by the required dates, the
Company would become obligated to repurchase the shares issued in connection
with such acquisition. As of May 26, 1998, the Company had not registered any
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Company's 1997
acquisitions under a registration statement declared effective by the SEC. As
of December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, the Company had reflected $9,734,000
and $7,187,000, respectively, of Common Stock subject to redemption on its
Consolidated Balance Sheets related to shares that the Company may be required
to repurchase. From January 1, 1998 through May 26, 1998, the Company paid
$3,275,000 to sellers who exercised their rights to have 179,000 shares of
Common Stock repurchased. In addition, the Company expects to become obligated
to pay an additional $5,763,000 during the remainder of 1998 in connection
with the settlement of certain repurchase obligations of the Company subject
to, under certain circumstances, the consent of the Senior Note holders. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of such acquisitions, the Company
has agreed with the sellers in such acquisitions to pay to the seller (in
additional shares and/or cash) an amount equal to the shortfall in the value
of the issued shares in the event the market value of such shares at the
relevant effective date of the registration statement or other negotiated date
is less than the market value of such shares as of the closing of the
acquisition or, in other cases, as of the execution of the relevant
acquisition agreement. Based upon the closing sales price of the Company's
Common Stock on July 16, 1998 ($3 1/8 per share), such shortfall would be
approximately $9,441,000, which amount may be reduced by up to $5,977,000 to
the extent certain sellers exercise their repurchase rights referred to above.
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the Company has
also agreed with certain sellers that all or a portion of the consideration
for such acquisitions will be paid on a contingent basis based upon the
profitability, revenues or other financial criteria of the acquired business
during an agreed-upon measurement period following the closing of the
acquisition (usually, one to three years). The specific terms of such
contingent consideration differs for each acquisition. In connection with
certain acquisitions, the Company and the relevant sellers have agreed to a
maximum amount of contingent consideration and in other cases the parties have
agreed that any payment of such contingent consideration may be paid in cash
or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.
 
                                      41
<PAGE>
 
  Although the Company has the option, in certain of such cases, to pay
certain of such amounts in shares of Common Stock, payment of significant cash
funds to sellers in the event such remedies or earnout provisions are
triggered could have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash flow and
financial condition. In addition, the Company may be required to finance all
or a portion of any such cash payments from third-party sources. No assurance
can be given that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company. In addition, the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock in
payment of any such owed amounts could be dilutive to the Company's
stockholders.
 
TEMPORARY HEALTHCARE STAFFING INDUSTRY
 
STARMED SALE
 
  On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to
which StarMed is to be sold to RehabCare Group Inc. for $33 million.
Consummation of the StarMed Sale is expected to occur in late July or early
August 1998. As a result of the pending sale of StarMed Sale, the results of
operations of StarMed are reflected herein in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The demand for supplemental per diem staffing services in the healthcare
market is being driven by a variety of factors in the acute and sub-acute care
segments. The increasing presence of managed care and the rapid evolution of
technology has dramatically reduced the average length of stay in acute care
hospitals. The dynamics of this reduction in length of stay has made the task
of staffing a facility difficult. Many hospitals are reducing the number of
full time staff and managing the peak periods by utilizing per diem nursing
services. The attractiveness of utilizing per diem services is the ability to
monitor and regulate expenses more closely. When a hospital adds full time
staff, it makes a commitment in salary and benefits which it can avoid with
per diem services. With the emphasis on outpatient care, the needs of the
hospital's admitted patients have increased which subsequently requires a high
level of critical care nursing skills. Due to the intense environment of
critical care units, turnover is a significant challenge for a hospital. The
ability to utilize per diem services to address the needs of these units is
becoming increasingly advantageous to hospitals. In addition, the number of
nursing home beds continues to increase each year in an attempt to meet the
needs of the country's aging population. The ability of nursing services to
recruit and place qualified nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses
in these facilities who are available on a day by day or part time basis is a
great benefit to this client base. Nursing homes, like hospitals, are
regulated on a state by state basis and are required to maintain a specific
patient to caregiver ratio. Per diem services provide experienced employees
who are productive on their first assignment, compared to new graduates who
may require extensive orientation.
 
  The demand for travel nursing is being driven by dynamics similar to that of
the per diem market. In most cases, the client utilizes travel nurses when
they require additional personnel for an extended period of time. Examples of
this would be the opening of a new satellite facility, an information system
conversion that might divert existing hospital employees from other duties
and, in many cases, a severe local market shortage for a specific nursing
specialty. Additionally, in areas of the country that have significant
population changes tied to seasonality, such as Florida during the winter
months, the utilization of travel nurses is an economic alternative.
 
TEMPORARY HEALTHCARE STAFFING SERVICES PROVIDED BY STARMED
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the
StarMed Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders,
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
is expected to occur in late July or in August of this year. Due to the
pending StarMed Sale, the results of operations of StarMed are herein
reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements Of Operations as
discontinued operations.
 
  StarMed commenced its Per Diem operations in March 1995 and, since that
time, it has opened 31 offices, acquired 4 staffing companies operating six
additional offices and consolidated the operations of two other offices. The
Company's growth strategy for its temporary staffing business includes
offering new services to clients, expanding the number of markets served by
StarMed's Per Diem division and acquiring other companies in the temporary
healthcare staffing industry in selected markets.
 
  Clients And Marketing. StarMed has entered into agreements with client
hospitals nationwide to provide temporary staffing of healthcare personnel.
These hospitals, which are both for-profit and not-for-profit, range from
small rural hospitals to major teaching and trauma centers. StarMed's Per Diem
division markets its services primarily through its own direct sales force.
 
  StarMed's marketing approach targets hospitals in major metropolitan areas
or other areas which are attractive from a patient census perspective as well
as to nurses and other professional medical personnel. Marketing for the
Travel Nursing division is conducted primarily by telemarketing and also by
attendance at national and regional conventions, seminars and direct
solicitations. In certain geographic markets, the Company has contracted with
a health services marketing and per diem placement firm to market its
services.
 
  Recruitment. Temporary staff are recruited through advertising in industry
publications, job fairs, referrals and other methods. All applicants for
employment are screened to ensure they have the required practical current
experience and skills, valid licenses and positive references. StarMed
believes that temporary assignments are attractive for nurses and other
medical personnel because they provide competitive compensation, the ability
to work in various clinical environments during the course of the year and
flexible work schedules.
 
  Upon receiving an order from a client for a travel nursing position, StarMed
utilizes a sophisticated software application program to match available
candidates to the client's order. The application program considers a number
of unique hiring criteria established by the client and also certain general
criteria established by StarMed. Suitable candidates are then presented to the
client for temporary staffing assignments.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The Company's business is highly competitive. In the Company's diagnostic
imaging business, competition focuses primarily on attracting physician
referrals at the local market level and, increasingly, referrals through
relationships with managed care and physician/hospital organizations. The
Company believes that principal competitors in each of the Company's markets
are hospitals, independent or management company-owned imaging centers,
individual-owned imaging centers and mobile MR units. Many of these
competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company.
Principal competitive factors include quality and timeliness of test results,
ability to develop and maintain relationships with managed care organizations
and referring physicians, type and quality of equipment, facility location,
convenience of scheduling and availability of patient appointment times.
Competition for referrals can also be affected by the ownership or affiliation
of competing centers or hospitals.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
  The healthcare industry is highly regulated at the Federal, state and local
levels. The following factors affect the Company's operation and development
activities:
 
 
                                      43

 Certificates Of Need, Licensing And Certification
 
  Many of the states in which the Company currently operates or may operate
have laws that may require a certificate of need ("CON") in certain
circumstances to establish, construct, acquire or expand healthcare facilities
and services or for the purchase, expansion or replacement of major movable
equipment, including outpatient diagnosis imaging centers utilizing MR or
other major medical equipment. At the present time, the CON laws of New
Jersey, New York, Illinois, Florida, Maryland and California pertain to the
Company's activities. In states with CON programs, regulatory approvals are
frequently required for capital expenditures exceeding certain amounts, if
such expenditures relate to certain types of medical services or equipment.
 
  State CON statutes generally provide that prior to construction of new
facilities or the introduction of new services, a state health planning agency
(a "Planning Agency") must determine that a need exists for those facilities
or services. The CON process is intended to promote comprehensive healthcare
planning, assist in providing high quality health care at the lowest possible
cost and avoid unnecessary duplication by ensuring that only those healthcare
facilities that are needed will be built.
 
  Typically, the provider submits an application to the appropriate Planning
Agency with information concerning the geographic area and population to be
served, the anticipated demand for the facility or service to be provided, the
amount of capital expenditure, the estimated annual operating costs, the
relationship of the proposed facility or service to the overall state health
plan, if applicable, and the cost per patient for the type of care
contemplated. Whether the CON is granted is based upon a finding of need by
the Planning Agency in accordance with criteria set forth in CON statutes,
applicable regulations and applicable state and regional health facilities
plans. If the proposed facility or service is found to be necessary and the
applicant to be an appropriate provider, the Planning Agency will issue a CON
containing a maximum amount of expenditure and a specific time period for the
holder of the CON to implement the approved project.
 
  The necessity for these CON approvals serves as a barrier to entry in
certain markets which the Company wishes to service and has the potential to
increase the costs and delay the Company's acquisition, addition or expansion
of centers. A CON program or similar requirement has the potential to curtail
the Company's expansion which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's future growth.
 
  The Company may also have to comply with Federal certification requirements.
For example, the Company's centers which provide mammography examinations must
be certified by the Federal government. Further, additional certification
requirements may affect the Company's centers, but such certification
generally will follow specific standards and requirements that are set forth
in readily available public documents. Compliance with the requirements often
is monitored by annual on site inspections by representatives of various
government agencies. The Company believes that it currently has obtained all
necessary certifications, but the failure to obtain a necessary certification
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's imaging business.
 
  In addition to the CON programs and Federal certification described above,
the operations of outpatient imaging centers are subject to Federal and state
regulations relating to licensure, standards of testing, accreditation of
certain personnel and compliance with government reimbursement programs. The
operation of these centers requires a number of Federal and state licenses,
including licenses for personnel and certain equipment. Although the Company
believes that currently it has obtained or is in the process of obtaining all
such necessary CON approvals and licenses, the failure to obtain a required
approval could have a material adverse effect on the Company's diagnostic
imaging business. The Company believes that diagnostic testing will continue
to be subject to intense regulation at the Federal and state levels and cannot
predict the scope and effect of such regulation nor the cost to the Company of
such compliance.

 Medicare Anti-Kickback Provisions
 
  The Federal Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Statute (the "Anti-Kickback
Statute") prohibits the offering, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form
of remuneration in return for the referral of patients covered by Medicare,
Medicaid or certain other Federal and state healthcare programs, or in return
for the purchase, lease or order or provision of any item or service that is
covered by Medicare or Medicaid or certain other Federal and state healthcare
programs. Violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is punishable by substantial
fines, imprisonment for up to five years, or both. In addition, the Medicare
and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987 (the "Protection Act")
provides that persons guilty of violating the Anti-Kickback Statute may be
excluded from the Medicare or Medicaid programs. Investigations leading to
prosecutions and/or program exclusion may be conducted by the Office of
Inspector General ("OIG") of the Department of Health and Human Services
("HHS").
 
  The OIG has issued "safe harbor" regulations which describe practices that
will not be considered violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute. The fact that
a particular arrangement does not fall within a safe harbor does not mean that
the arrangement does not comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute. The safe
harbor regulations simply provide a guarantee that qualifying arrangements do
not violate this federal law. They do not extend the scope of the statutory
prohibitions. Thus, arrangements that do not qualify for safe harbor
protection are in largely the same position as they were prior to the
promulgation of these regulations, meaning that they must be carefully
evaluated in light of the provisions of the Anti-Kickback Statute itself. To
the extent possible, the Company will structure its agreements with referral
sources, such as physicians to comply with applicable safe harbors, but there
are no assurances that it will be able to so with every contract. Further,
these safe harbor regulations have so far been relatively untested in
practice. No assurances can be given that a Federal or state agency charged
with enforcement of the Anti-Kickback Statute and similar laws might not
assert a contrary position or that new Federal or state laws or new
interpretation of existing laws might not adversely affect relationships
established by the Company with healthcare providers, including physicians, or
result in the imposition of penalties on the Company or certain of its
centers. The assertion of a violation, even if successfully defended by the
Company, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
 
 Corporate Practice Of Medicine And Fee Splitting
 
  The laws of many states prohibit unlicensed, non-physician-owned entities or
corporations from performing medical services or physicians from splitting
fees with non-physicians. The Company is unlicensed for certain of its
services. The Company does not believe however, that it engages in the
unlawful practice of medicine or the delivery of medical services in any state
where it is prohibited, and is not licensed to practice medicine in states
which permit such licensure. Professional medical services, such as the
interpretation of MRI scans, are separately provided by independent contractor
Interpreting Physicians pursuant to agreements with the Company. The Company
performs only administrative and technical services and does not exercise
control over the practice of medicine by physicians or employ physicians to
provide medical services. However, in many jurisdictions, the laws restricting
the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting have been subject to
limited judicial and regulatory interpretation and, therefore, there can be no
assurance that, upon review, some of the Company's activities would not be
found to be in violation of such laws. If such a claim were successfully
asserted against it, the Company could be subject to civil and criminal
penalties and could be required to restructure its contractual relationships.
In addition, certain provisions of its contracts with Interpreting Physicians,
including the payment of management fees and restrictive covenants could be
held to be unenforceable. Such results or the inability of the Company to
restructure its contractual relationships could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company.
 
 Stark Law Prohibition On Physician Referrals
 
  The Federal "Stark Law" as amended in 1993 provides that when a physician
has a "financial relationship" with a provider of "designated health services"
(including, among other activities, the provision of MR and other radiology
services which are provided by the Company), the physician will be prohibited
from making a referral of Medicaid or Medicare patients to the healthcare
provider, and the provider will be prohibited from billing Medicare or
Medicaid, for the designated health service. In August 1995, regulations were
issued
 
                                      45
<PAGE>
 
pursuant to the Stark Law as it existed prior to its amendment in 1993 (when
it only applied to clinical laboratories). Draft regulations for the
provisions of the Stark Law applicable to MR and other radiology services were
issued in January, 1998. Submission of a claim that a provider knows, or
should know, is for services for which payment is prohibited under the amended
Stark Law, could result in refunds of any amounts billed, civil money
penalties of not more than $15,000 for each service billed, and possible
exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
 
  The Stark Law provides exceptions from its prohibition for referrals which
include certain types of employment, personal service arrangements and
contractual relationships. The Company continues to review all aspects of its
operations and endeavors to comply in all material respects with applicable
provisions of the Stark Law. Due to the broad and sometimes vague nature of
this law, the ambiguity of related regulations, the absence of final
regulations, and the lack of interpretive case law, there can be no assurance
that an enforcement action will not be brought against the Company or that the
Company will not be found to be in violation of the Stark Law.
 
 False Claims Act
 
  A number of Federal laws impose civil and criminal liability for knowingly
presenting or causing to be presented a false or fraudulent claim, or
knowingly making a false statement to get a false claim paid or approved by
the government. Under one such law, the False Claims Act, civil damages may
include an amount that is three times the government's loss plus $5,000 to
$10,000 per claim. Actions to enforce the False Claims Act may be commenced by
a private citizen on behalf of the Federal government, and such private
citizens receive between 15 and 30 percent of the recovery. Efforts have been
made to assert that any claim resulting from a relationship in violation of
the Anti-Kickback Statute or the Stark Law is false and fraudulent under the
False Claims Act. The Company carefully monitors its submissions to HCFA and
all other claims for reimbursement to assure that they are not false or
fraudulent.
 
 State Laws
 
  Many states, including the states in which the Company operates, have
adopted statutes and regulations prohibiting payments for patient referrals
and other types of financial arrangements with healthcare providers, which,
while similar in certain respects to the Federal legislation, vary from state
to state. Some states expressly prohibit referrals by physicians to facilities
in which such physicians have a financial interest. Sanctions for violating
these state restrictions may include loss of licensure and civil and criminal
penalties assessed against either the referral source or the recipient
provider. Certain states also have begun requiring healthcare practitioners to
disclose to patients any financial relationship with other providers,
including advising patients of the availability of alternative providers.
 
  The Company continues to review all aspects of its operations and endeavors
to comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the Anti-
Kickback Statute, the Stark Law and applicable state laws governing fraud and
abuse as well as licensing and certification. Due to the broad and sometimes
vague nature of these laws and requirements, the evolving interpretations of
these laws (as evidenced by the recent draft regulations for the Stark Law),
there can be no assurance that an enforcement action will not be brought
against the Company or that the Company will not be found to be in violation
of one or more of these regulatory provisions. Further, there can be no
assurance that new laws or regulations will not be enacted, or existing laws
or regulations interpreted or applied in the future in such a way as to have a
material adverse effect on the Company, or that Federal or state governments
will not impose additional restrictions upon all or a portion of the Company's
activities, which might adversely affect the Company's business.
 
 Regulations Affecting StarMed
 
  StarMed has obtained all material necessary licenses to conduct business in
the states where required. Temporary staff are also subject to various
occupational and professional licensing laws that apply to medical
professionals. Many states have temporary staff laws requiring training,
monitoring and regulating of medical professionals.
 
                                      46
<PAGE>
 
  Because the services of StarMed's temporary staff are paid for directly by
the client hospitals, StarMed is not subject to the reimbursement, billing and
collection procedure required by the existence of government and private third
party payors as is the case with respect to the Company's diagnostic imaging
centers.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 1,277 full time
employees. This number does not include the healthcare personnel contracted by
StarMed for its Per Diem and Travel Nursing divisions. The Company is not a
party to any collective bargaining agreements and considers its relationship
with its employees to be good.
 
INSURANCE
 
  The nature of the services provided by the Company expose the Company to risk
that certain parties may attempt to recover from the Company for alleged
wrongful acts committed by others. As a result of this risk, the Company
maintains malpractice and professional liability insurance for both its Imaging
and Temporary Healthcare Staffing Divisions, as well as workmen's compensation
insurance, comprehensive and general liability coverage, fire, allied perils
coverage and professional liability insurance in amounts deemed adequate by
management to cover all potential risk. There can be no assurance that
potential claims will not exceed the coverage amounts, that the cost of
coverage will not substantially increase or require the Company to insure
itself or that certain coverage will not be reduced or become unavailable.
 
PROPERTIES
 
  The Company leases its 36,133 square foot principal and executive offices
pursuant to two leases with terms of five years and four years, respectively,
remaining. The building also houses the Company's Hackensack imaging center.
The Company's 98 imaging centers range in size from approximately 1,500 to
11,400 square feet. Each center consists of a waiting/reception area and one
room per modality, dressing rooms, billing/administration rooms and radiologist
interpreting rooms. The Company owns the real property in which certain of its
centers operate, and leases its remaining centers under leases which expire
from December 1997 through October 2002 and, in certain instances, contain
options to renew. StarMed's 35 per diem staffing offices lease approximately
14,000 square feet of office space in the aggregate under various lease terms
expiring through December 1999. The Company believes that if it were unable to
renew the lease on any of these facilities, other suitable facilities would be
available to meet the Company's needs.
 
LITIGATION
 
  As described below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions",
the Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as
defendants in several actions filed in state and federal court arising out of
the events also described below and in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
filed by the Company on November 10, 1997, involving, among other matters,
allegations against the Company with respect to related-party transactions and
securities fraud.
 
  In 1996, an individual and his spouse brought an action in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, King's County against Advanced MRA Imaging Associates
in Brooklyn, New York, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("MRA
Imaging"), for damages aggregating $12.5 million. The plaintiff alleges
negligent operations, improper supervision and hiring practices and the failure
to operate the premises in a safe manner, as a result of which the individual
suffered physical injury. The Company's general liability and professional
negligence insurance carriers have been notified, and it has been agreed that
the general liability insurance will pursue the defense of this matter, however
such insurers have reserved the right to claim that the scope of the matter
falls outside the Company's coverage. The parties to this matter are engaged in
discovery.
 
  In June 1998, an individual filed a complaint against the Company, StarMed,
Wesley Medical Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Wesley"), and
certain officers and directors of the Company in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint, among other
things, alleges that the defendants omitted and/or misrepresented material
information in the Company's public filings and that they
 
                                       47
<PAGE>
 
concealed or failed to disclose adverse material information about the Company
in connection with the sale of Wesley to the Company by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff seeks damages in the amount of $4.25 million or, alternatively,
recession of the sale of Wesley. The Company believes that it has meritorious
defenses to the claims asserted by plaintiff, and intends to defend itself
vigorously. In July 1998, the Company and the named defendants filed a motion
to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint on numerous grounds.
 
  The legal proceedings described above are in their preliminary stages.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims
against it, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty the ultimate
outcome of those proceedings.
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and
litigation other than those set forth above. Management believes that such
other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

</TABLE>
  The following table sets forth certain information concerning options and

- - --------
(1) Due to the fact that the 1997 Plan was not presented to the Company's

    such grants are not deemed to be outstanding.
(2) The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of appreciation of the grant date
    market prices are mandated by rules of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission ("SEC") and do not reflect estimates or projections of future
    Common Stock prices. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected
    in this table will be achieved.

    Alix in connection with its engagement by the Company to provide interim

                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
  During 1997, in connection with the placement of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Company paid $967,000 in fees and expenses to Arnhold and
S. Bleichroeder, Inc., of which Gary Fuhrman, a director of the Company, is an
executive officer and director. Also during 1997, for legal services rendered
to the Company, the Company paid legal fees and expenses in the amount of
$971,000 to Werbel & Carnelutti, of which Stephen Davis, a former director of
the Company, is a partner. In addition, during 1997, the Company reimbursed
the managing underwriter of the Company's October 1996 public offering $84,000
in charter fees (which rates were at or below market rates) for the use by the
managing underwriter and the Company of an airplane owned by an affiliate of
the Chairman of the Board during the public offering roadshow.
 
  In 1997 and previous years, the Company paid an annual financial advisory
fee to 712 Advisory Services, Inc., a financial advisory firm and affiliate of
the Company's Chairman of the Board (the "Affiliate"). Mr. Neil H. Koffler, a
director of the Company, is also an employee of the Affiliate. Such fees
amounted to $112,500, $102,000 and $225,000 in the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1997,
the Company also paid transaction related advisory fees and expenses
(including fees associated with the issuance of the Senior Notes) to the
Affiliate of $1,761,000 and issued to the Affiliate warrants to purchase
675,000 shares of the Company's Common stock exercisable at prices ranging
from $10.31 to $12.59 per share for financial advisory services rendered to
the Company in connection with such transactions. As discussed below, pursuant
to recommendations made by a special committee of the Board of Directors, the
Affiliate has reimbursed to the Company $1,536,000 of the fees paid to the
Affiliate for services rendered in 1997 and waived $112,500 of fees payable
for 1997.
 
  In order to incentivize officers, directors, employees and consultants to
the Company, the Company from time to time has granted options at fair market
value to such individuals. As of December 31, 1997, stock options to purchase
1,468,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock have been issued to the
Chairman and Mr. Koffler. Included in this amount are stock options to
purchase 750,000 shares and 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock which
were granted to the Chairman and Mr. Koffler, respectively, under the 1997
Plan. As discussed below, the Chairman and Mr. Koffler have voluntarily agreed
to relinquish the stock options that were granted to them under the 1997 Plan
and to permit the Board's Compensation Committee, with the assistance of
compensation experts, to determine the appropriate director compensation for
them for 1997.
 
  Additionally, in September 1997, the Company acquired, for $3.25 million, a
limited partnership interest in Dune Jet Services, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a
Delaware limited partnership formed for the purposes of acquiring and
operating an airplane for the partners' business uses and for third-party
charter flights. The general partner of the Partnership is Dune Jet Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, the sole stockholder of which is the Company's
Chairman. In October 1997, the Company's interest in the Partnership was
repurchased by the Partnership at cost plus interest following discussions
among management (members of which expressed objections to such acquisition),
a special committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"), and
other members of the Board of Directors (including the Chairman).
 
  In October 1997, members of the Company's management communicated to the
Board that certain Company stockholders had questioned them regarding the
manner in which related-party transactions were being scrutinized by the
Company and its Board. Management stated that it shared the concerns of these
stockholders and had engaged counsel to conduct a review of such transactions.
 
  In order to address and satisfy the concerns management had communicated,
the Company authorized a review of its practices regarding related-party
transactions, as well as the fairness of all such transactions and the
adequacy of the disclosure of the same, including but not limited to
transactions as to which fees already had been paid and warrants and options
to purchase shares had been issued, and public disclosure had been made in
prior periods. The review also was to seek to develop recommendations as to
what changes, if any, should be made to the Company's procedures regarding
related-party transactions.
 
 
                                      59
<PAGE>
 
  To oversee the review, the Board formed the Committee consisting of
directors who were not officers, directors, employees, stockholders or
otherwise affiliates of the Affiliate. The Committee retained, on behalf of
the Company, outside counsel with which neither the Company nor any of its
directors has or had any current or prior relationship, to assist and advise
the Committee in the conduct of the review. The Chairman, on behalf of the
Affiliate, expressed its position that the related-party transactions and fees
are and were proper, but nevertheless advised the Committee that the Affiliate
would return to the Company any sums that the Committee deemed improper.
 
  Thereafter, in response to expressions of dissatisfaction with the Committee
and its ongoing review, as well as disclosure related thereto, by certain
members of management who questioned, among other things, the Committee's
ability to conduct an independent review, the Board determined, and the
Company announced, that it was seeking to add to the Board two new independent
directors. The new directors, who would retain other independent counsel of
their choice, would assume ultimate responsibility for the review. The
Company's Chairman and the Affiliate thereafter restated that although they
believe that all related-party transactions and financial advisory fees are
and were proper, they nevertheless agreed to abide by the findings of the
Company's independent review and to return to the Company any sums that the
Committee deemed improper. On December 8, 1997, D. Gordon Strickland and Peter
J. Powers were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company and to serve
as the members of the Committee that was formed to examine the related-party
transactions. The Committee engaged the law firm of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman,
Hays & Handler to advise and assist its examination.
 
  The Committee issued the results of its investigation and certain
recommendations in a report to the Company's Board of Directors and on April
6, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors voted to adopt the recommendations
contained in the report.
 
  The Committee reported to the directors that it had determined that: (i)
there was no evidence of any federal or state crimes or securities law
violations in connection with the related party transactions in question; (ii)
all related-party matters were disclosed in public filings; (iii) the
Affiliate performed acquisition advisory services fully consistent with the
expectations and understanding of the committee of outside directors that had
approved the Affiliate's acquisition fees; and (iv) the acquisition advisory
fees paid to the Affiliate in connection with the Company's acquisitions in
1997 were within the range of customary acquisition advisory fees paid to
investment bankers on transactions of similar size.
 
  The Committee also recommended and the Board of Directors has adopted the
following measures to improve corporate governance:
 
  . To avoid any appearance of possible conflicts of interest, the Board
    adopted a policy disfavoring related-party transactions. The policy can
    be subject to exceptional circumstances, but even exceptional
    circumstances will be considered only in the informed judgment of the
    Board or an independent committee, assisted by independent counsel.
 
  . The Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with the assistance of the
    Company's general counsel and in consultation with the Board of
    Directors, will be responsible for the selection of all outside counsel,
    bearing in mind the policy disfavoring related-party transactions. To
    avoid any appearance of possible conflicts of interest, corporate counsel
    advising on issues of corporate governance and disclosure will have no
    relationship to any member of the Board of Directors. Without limiting
    the generality of the foregoing, no director of the Company will be a
    member of or counsel to such law firm. Corporate counsel advising on such
    issues will not otherwise provide legal services to any member of the
    Board of Directors, including entities affiliated with Board members.
 
  . Absent exceptional circumstances, all related-party contracts, unless
    manifestly immaterial, will be filed publicly with appropriate SEC
    filings.
 
  . The Compensation Committee has been authorized and directed to formulate
    clear written standards for reimbursement of director expenses, subject
    to review by the Board of Directors.
 
 
                                      60
<PAGE>
 
  In addition to the foregoing, the Committee recommended and the Board of
Directors has determined to endeavor to reconfigure the Board to give outside
directors a majority of its seats and select a new chairman from the outside
directors.
 
  The Committee understood that in late 1996, the Board of Directors had
turned to the Affiliate to supervise an extensive acquisition program of 59
diagnostic imaging centers and one staffing company because of the Board's
perceptions that former senior management was still relatively inexperienced
and did not yet have the formal training and necessary skills to manage an
extensive acquisition program, former senior management was not directly
supervising nor providing sufficient input with respect to the acquisition
program, and there was a limited window of time within which the acquisition
program could take place, given the increasingly competitive marketplace. The
Committee expressed their view that given the Board's perceptions, the Board
should have acted sooner to bring any additional needed skills in-house,
rather than continue to rely upon, and pay fees to, the Affiliate to provide
such services.
 
  Accordingly, the Committee recommended and the Affiliate agreed to reimburse
the Company approximately $1,424,000 in fees for acquisition transactions
completed after June 1, 1997, to reimburse $112,500 of the retainer paid to
the Affiliate for 1997, to waive payment of an additional $112,500 of fees
accrued by the Company for the third and fourth quarters of 1997, and to pay a
substantial amount of the expenses associated with the Committee's
investigation. All such amounts have been reimbursed or paid to the Company.
In addition, in light of the subsequent hiring of Duane C. Montopoli as
President and Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey Whynot as Chief Financial
Officer and SBC Warburg Dillon Read as Financial Advisor, the Committee
recommended and the Affiliate agreed to allow the Company to terminate its
relationship with the Affiliate.
 
  The Chairman and Mr. Koffler also agreed voluntarily to relinquish 765,000
stock options that were granted to them in May 1997 and permit the Board's
Compensation Committee, with the assistance of compensation experts, to
determine the appropriate director compensation for them for 1997.
 
  On November 5, 1997, ZPR Investments, Inc., ZP Investments, Inc., Wyoming
Valley Physicians Imaging Center, L.P., Camp Hill Physicians Imaging Center,
L.P., Wexford Radiology, P.C., Sanoy Medical Group, Ltd., Reading Open
Imaging, P.A., Yonas Zegeye, M.D., and Hirut Seleshi, parties who had agreed
to sell to the Company five related imaging centers located in Pennsylvania,
brought action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle
County, against the Company and five recently formed subsidiaries of the
Company, seeking specific performance of the acquisition agreements and
unspecified breach of contract damages. The plaintiffs alleged that the
Company and the subsidiaries failed to consummate the acquisition in
accordance with the terms of the acquisitions agreements. The aggregate
purchase price for the acquisitions is $8.4 million in cash and $5.6 million
payable in shares of Company Common Stock based upon the average price for the
five business days preceding September 21, 1997 (approximately 320,000
shares). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the shares of Common Stock
issued in connection with such acquisition are subject to price protection of
the issuance price compared to the market price at effectiveness of the
registration statement. In December 1997, the Company entered into an amended
agreement to settle such action and therein agreed to purchase the centers for
$1 million in cash, a promissory note for $7.4 million, plus interest, $5.6
million payable in shares of Company Common Stock, and the payment of certain
fees. The plaintiffs have announced that they do not intend to go forward with
the sale, although they continue to claim that the Company is in breach of the
acquisition agreements. The litigation in the Court of Chancery remains
stayed.
 
  On November 7, 1997, William D. Farrell resigned from his position as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and as Director and Gary
I. Fields resigned from his position as Senior Vice President and General
Counsel. On the same date, Messrs. Farrell and Fields, filed a Complaint in
the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the
Company and the members of the Company's Board of Directors, claiming
retaliatory discharge under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection
Act and breach of contract. On December 17, 1997, the plaintiffs amended their
complaint to add a claim for violation of public policy. The plaintiffs allege
that they were constructively terminated as a result of their objection to
certain
 
                                      61
<PAGE>
 
related-party transactions, the purported failure of the defendants to
adequately disclose the circumstances surrounding such transactions, and the
Company's public issuance of allegedly false and misleading accounts
concerning or relating to such related-party transactions. The plaintiffs seek
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs and
reinstatement of the plaintiffs to their positions with the Company. On April
8, 1998, the Company filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint, and asserted a
counterclaim against Messrs. Farrell and Fields for breach of fiduciary
duties. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  On November 12, 1997, Mr. Gerald Broder, who claims to be a company
stockholder, filed a derivative suit in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, New Castle County, naming the Company and Stephen M. Davis, Gary L.
Fuhrman, John H. Josephson, Neil H. Koffler, and Gary N. Siegler as
defendants. The complaint alleges that members of the Company's Board of
Directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company and its
stockholders by allegedly engaging in self-dealing transactions that caused
the Company financial harm. The complaint seeks injunctive relief directing
such directors to account to the Company for its damages and their profits
from the wrongs complained of therein, enjoining them from continuing to
engage in self-dealing transactions harmful to the Company and its
shareholders, and awarding plaintiff the costs and expenses incurred in
bringing the lawsuit. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the
allegations.
 
  On November 14, 1997, Mr. John P. O'Malley III filed a complaint in the
Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the Company
and Gary N. Siegler, Neil H. Koffler, Stephen M. Davis, Gary L. Fuhrman, John
H. Josephson and Lawrence Ramaekers, as defendants, claiming retaliatory
discharge under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act and
defamation. Mr. O'Malley alleges that the Company terminated his employment in
retaliation for voicing the concerns of shareholders and senior management
regarding related-party transactions and because the Company did not want to
make full and adequate disclosure of the facts and circumstances surrounding
such transactions. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the Company
published false and defamatory statements about him. Mr. O'Malley seeks
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs of bringing
the action. On April 8, 1998, the Company filed its Answer to the Complaint,
and asserted a counterclaim against Mr. O'Malley for breach of fiduciary
duties. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  Between November 14, 1997 and January 9, 1998, seven class action lawsuits
were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
against the Company and certain of the Company's directors and/or officers. On
November 14, 1997, Joan D. Ferrari, who claims to be a Company stockholder,
filed a lawsuit on behalf of all persons who purchased Common Stock during the
period between May 15, 1997 and November 7, 1997. The Ferrari complaint names
as defendants the Company and Gary N. Siegler, Stephen M. Davis, Gary L.
Fuhrman, John H. Josephson and Neil H. Koffler. On November 18, 1997, Tri-
Masonry Company, who claims to be a Company stockholder, filed a complaint on
behalf of all persons who purchased Common Stock during the period between
March 19, 1997 and November 10, 1997. On November 19, 1997, Yaakov Prager, who
claims to be a Company stockholder, filed a complaint on behalf of all persons
who purchased Common Stock during the period between May 16, 1997 and November
10, 1997. The Tri-Masonry and Prager complaints name as defendants the
Company, William D. Farrell, John P. O'Malley and Gary N. Siegler. On November
20, 1997, Albert Schonert, who claims to be a Company stockholder, filed a
complaint on behalf of all persons who purchased Common Stock during the
period between May 15, 1997 and November 7, 1997. The Schonert complaint names
as defendants the Company and Gary N. Siegler, Stephen M . Davis, Gary L.
Fuhrman, John H. Josephson, Neil H. Koffler and William D. Farrell. On
December 12, 1997, Anne Benjamin, Scott L. Benjamin, Maxine Benjamin, Donald
Benjamin and Andrew M. Schreiber, who claim to be Company stockholders, filed
a complaint on behalf of all persons who purchased Common Stock during the
period between March 31, 1997 and November 10, 1997. The Benjamin complaint
names as defendants the Company and Gary N. Siegler, John P. O'Malley and
William D. Farrell. On December 31, 1997, Allen H. Weingarten, who claims to
be a Company stockholder, filed a complaint on behalf of all persons who
purchased Common Stock during the period between March 19, 1997 and November
10, 1997. The Weingarten complaint names as defendants the Company and William
D. Farrell, John P. O'Malley and Gary N. Siegler. On January 9, 1998, Roselle
Sachs,
 
                                      62
<PAGE>
 
who claims to be a Company stockholder, filed a complaint on behalf of all
persons who purchased Common Stock during the period between May 15, 1997 and
November 10, 1997. The Sachs complaint names as defendants the Company and
Gary N. Siegler, Stephen M. Davis, Gary L. Fuhrman, Neil H. Koffler and
William D. Farrell.
 
  The complaints in each action assert that the Company and the named
defendants violated Section 10(b), and that certain named defendants violated
Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
alleging that the Company omitted and/or misrepresented material information
in its public filings, including that the Company failed to disclose that it
had entered into acquisitions that were not in the best interest of the
Company, that it had paid unreasonable and unearned acquisition and financial
advisory fees to related parties, and that it concealed or failed to disclose
adverse material information about the Company. The complaints each seek
unspecified compensatory damages, with interest , and the costs and expenses
incurred in bringing the action. On February 9, 1998, the Honorable Joel
Pisano, United States Magistrate Judge, entered an Order consolidating the
above-mentioned class actions for all purposes. On March 31, 1998, the lead
plaintiffs in the consolidated class actions served their Consolidated Class
Action Complaint, asserting that the Company and the named defendants violated
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and that certain named defendants violated
Sections 20(a) and 20A of the Exchange Act. The Company intends to defend
vigorously against the allegations.
 
  The legal proceedings described above are in their preliminary stages.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims
against it, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings.
 
  As previously disclosed by the Company, the U.S. Attorney for the District
of New Jersey commenced an investigation in connection with the disclosures
regarding the related-party transactions referenced above. In addition as
previously disclosed, the Company has received an inquiry from the SEC, but no
formal proceedings have been commenced by the SEC. The Company has cooperated
fully with these authorities and provided all information requested by them.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of July 16, 1998, the Company
had outstanding 24,044,937 shares of Common Stock.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such times and in such
amounts as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, determine. Each
stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by
such stockholder. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation does not provide
for cumulative voting. The Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights
and is not subject to redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up
of the Company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders
are distributed ratably among the holders of Common Stock outstanding at that
time after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding
Preferred Stock. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is fully paid and
nonassessable.
 
  Preferred Stock Purchase Rights. Pursuant to the Company's Stockholder
Rights Plan, holders of the Common Stock received a distribution of one right
(the "Rights") to purchase one ten thousandth of a share of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock for each share of Common Stock owned. The Rights
will generally become exercisable ten days after a person or group acquires
15% of the Company's outstanding voting securities or ten business days after
a person or group commences or announces an intention to commence a tender or
exchange offer that could result in the acquisition of 15% of any such
securities. Ten days after a person acquires 15% or more of the Company's
outstanding voting securities (unless this time period is extended by the
board of directors) each Right would, subject to certain adjustments and
alternatives, entitle the rightholder to purchase Common Stock of the Company
or stock of the acquiring company having a market value of twice the $24.00
exercise price of the Right (except that the acquiring person or group and
other related holders would not be able to purchase common stock of the
company on these terms). The Rights are nonvoting, expire in 2006 and may be
redeemed by the Company at a price of $.001 per Right at any time prior to the
tenth day after an individual or group acquired 15% of the Company's voting
stock, unless extended. The purpose of the Rights is to encourage potential
acquirors to negotiate with the Company's Board of Directors prior to
attempting a takeover and to give the Board leverage in negotiating on behalf
of the stockholder the terms of any proposed takeover.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company may,
without further action by the Company's stockholders, issue shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to
establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in any such
series and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any
such series, including without limitation dividend rights, dividend rate,
voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and
sinking fund provisions. The Board of Directors may authorize and issue
Preferred Stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect
the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. In addition,
the issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
  Series C Preferred Stock. On July 21, 1997, the Company completed a private
placement of $18,000,0000 of a newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") to one institutional investor, RGC
International Investors, LDC. The face amount of the Preferred Stock accrues
at a rate of 3% per annum from the closing date to the conversion date. The
Preferred Stock is convertible from time to time into the Company's Common
Stock at a price equal to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 100% of the
average of the closing bid prices of the Company's Common Stock for the five
consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding a notice of
conversion and (ii) $20.70. The Company has agreed to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock issued in the private
placement. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may require the
 
                                      64
<PAGE>
 
conversion of all the outstanding Preferred Stock beginning 180 days following
the date such registration statement is declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

(10) The number of shares set forth in the table represents an estimate of the
     number of shares of Common Stock to be offered by such Selling
     Stockholders. Such Selling Stockholders are parties to certain
     acquisition agreements with the Company, in which the Company has agreed
     to pay (in additional shares and/or cash) to the Selling Stockholders an
     amount equal to the shortfall in the market value of the shares issued to
     such Selling Stockholders at the closings of the relevant acquisitions in
     the event the market value of such shares at the relevant effective date
     of this Registration Statement is less than the market value of such
     shares as of the closing of the acquisition or, in other cases, as of the
     execution of the relevant acquisition agreement. The actual number of
     shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such provisions is
     indeterminate and is subject to adjustment depending on the future market
     price of the Common Stock. The actual number of shares of Common Stock
     offered hereby, and included in the Registration Statement of which this
     Prospectus is a part, include such additional number of shares of Common
     Stock as may be issued or issuable pursuant to such provisions. For
     purpose of estimating the number of shares of Common Stock to be included
     in this Registration Statement, the Company calculated 125% of the number
     of shares issuable upon the exercise of such remedies as of July 17, 1998
     (based upon a market price of $3.39 which is 100% of the average of the
     daily closing prices of the Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National
     Market for the five consecutive trading days preceding July 17, 1998).
(11) The number of shares set forth in the table represents an estimate of the
     number of shares of Common Stock to be offered by such Selling
     Stockholder upon conversion of, or issued in respect of, the Preferred
     Stock held by such Selling Stockholder, including 1,167,000 shares of
     Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued or
     issuable to the holder of such Preferred Stock and other shares of Common
     Stock which may be issuable to the holder of such Preferred Stock
     pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock. The actual number of shares
     of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or issued in respect of,
     Preferred Stock is indeterminate, is subject to adjustment and could be
     materially less or more than such estimated number depending on factors
     which cannot be predicted by the Company at this time, including, among
     other factors, the future market price of the Common Stock. The actual
     number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby, and included in the
     Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, includes such
     additional number of shares of Common Stock as may be issued or issuable
     upon conversion of the Preferred Stock by reason of the floating rate
     conversion price mechanism or other adjustment mechanisms described
     therein, or by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar
     transaction involving the Common Stock, in order to prevent dilution, in
     accordance with Rule 416 under the Act. Pursuant to the terms of the
     Preferred Stock, if the outstanding Preferred Stock had been actually
     converted on July 17, 1998 the conversion price would have been $3.69
     (100% of the average of the daily closing bid prices of the Common Stock
     for the five consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day
     immediately preceding such date) at which price the outstanding Preferred
     Stock would have been converted into approximately 4,330,183 shares of
     Common Stock. On June 18, 1998, 2,500 shares of
 
                                      67
<PAGE>
 
    Preferred Stock were converted into 1,119,660 shares of Common Stock.
    Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock
    are convertible by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares
    of Common Stock thereby issuable, together with the number of shares of
    Common Stock owned by such holder and its affiliates (but not including
    shares of Common Stock underlying unconverted shares of Preferred Stock),
    would not exceed 4.9% of the then outstanding Common Stock as determined in
    accordance with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the number
    of shares of Common Stock set forth in the table for this Selling
    Stockholder exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that this Selling
    Stockholder could own beneficially at any given time through their
    ownership of the Series C Preferred Stock. In that regard, beneficial
    ownership of this Selling Stockholder set forth in the table is not
    determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant
    to the terms of the Preferred Stock, the Company has registered 200% of the
    number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding Preferred
    Stock as a good faith estimate of the shares issuable upon conversion of
    the Preferred Stock. For purposes of this table, only 100% of the number of
    shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
    Preferred Stock as of July 17, 1998 (or 4,330,183 shares) are included in
    this table, even though 8,660,366 shares, representing 200%, are covered by
    this Prospectus.
(12) The number of shares set forth in the table represents an estimate of the
     number of shares of Common Stock to be offered by such Selling
     Stockholders upon conversion of the Convertible Notes held by such Selling
     Stockholders. The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
     conversion of the Convertible Notes is indeterminate, is subject to
     adjustment and could be materially less or more than such estimated number
     depending on factors which cannot be predicted by the Company at this
     time, including, among other factors, the future market price of the

     and included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
     part, include such additional number of shares of Common Stock as may be

     Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, if the Convertible Notes
     had been actually converted on July 17, 1998 the conversion price would
     have been $3.39 (100% of the average of the daily closing prices of the
     Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the five
     consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date) at which price
     the Convertible Notes would have been converted into approximately
     1,984,686 aggregate shares of Common Stock.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
  The Selling Stockholders, or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees
or other successors in interest, may sell some or all of the Shares in one or
more transactions (which may involve block transactions) on the Nasdaq
National Market or on such other market on which the Common Stock may from
time to time be trading, in privately negotiated transactions, through the
writing of options on the Shares, short sales or any combination thereof. The
sale price to the public may be the market price prevailing at the time of
sale, a price related to such prevailing market price or such other price as
the Selling Stockholders determine from time to time. The Shares may also be
sold pursuant to Rule 144.
 
  The Selling Stockholders, or their respective pledgees, donees, tranferees
or other successors in interest, may also sell the Shares directly to market
makers acting as principals and/or broker/dealers, who may act as agent or
acquire the Shares as principal. Any broker/dealer participating in such
transactions as agent may receive a commission from the Selling Stockholders
(and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such Shares, from such
purchaser). Usual and customary brokerage fees will be paid by the Selling
Stockholders. Broker/dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
specified number of Shares at a stipulated price per Share and, to the extent
such broker/dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the Selling
Stockholders, to purchase as principal any unsold Shares at the price required
to fulfill the respective broker/dealer's commitment to the Selling
Stockholders. Broker/dealers who acquire Shares as principals may thereafter
resell such Shares from time to time in transactions (which may involve cross
and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through other
broker/dealers, including transactions of the nature described above) in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in
connection which such resales may pay to or receive commissions from the
purchasers of such Shares. If applicable, the Selling Stockholders also may
have distributed or may distribute Shares to one or more of their limited
partners which are unaffiliated with the Company; such limited partners may,
in turn, distribute such shares as described above. There can be no assurance
that all or any of the Shares offered hereby will be sold by the Selling
Stockholders.
 
  The Company is bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Shares,
provided that any commissions or other fees payable to broker/dealers in
connection with any sale of the Shares will be borne by the Selling
Stockholders or other party selling such Shares. The Company has agreed to
indemnify certain of the Selling Stockholders, or their transferees or
assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act,
or to contribute to payments the Selling Stockholders, or their transferees or
assignees, may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
  The Selling Stockholders must comply with the requirements of the Act and
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder in the offer and
sale of the Shares. In particular, during such times as the Selling
Stockholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the Common
Stock, and therefore be deemed to be an underwriter under the Act, it must
comply with the Exchange Act, as amended, and will, among other things:
 
    (a) not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with the
  Company's securities;
 
    (b) furnish each broker/dealer through which Shares may be offered such
  copies of this Prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required
  by such broker/dealer; and
 
    (c) not bid for or purchase any securities of the Company or attempt to
  induce any person to purchase any securities of the Company other than as
  permitted under the Exchange Act.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereby will
be passed upon for the Company by Christopher J. Joyce, Esq., Senior Vice
President--Legal Affairs and Administration of the Company.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 Medical Resources, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Medical
Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997 and
the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1995. Our audits also included
the financial statement schedule listed on page F-1 for the years then ended.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Medical Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein for 1997 and 1995.
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2,
the Company incurred a net loss in 1997 and has a working capital deficiency
at December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company has not complied with certain
covenants of loan agreements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The Company
 
  Medical Resources, Inc., (herein referred to as "MRI" and collectively with
its subsidiaries, affiliated partnerships and joint ventures, referred to
herein as the "Company") specializes in the operation and management of
diagnostic imaging centers. The Company operates and manages primarily fixed-
site, free-standing outpatient diagnostic imaging centers (herein referred to
as "centers"), and provides diagnostic imaging network management services to
managed care providers. The Company's diagnostic imaging segment also develops
and sells radiology industry information systems through its subsidiary,
Dalcon Technologies, Inc.
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RHBC) for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the
StarMed Sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and
approval by the Company's Senior Note holders, is expected to occur in late
July or in August of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results
of operations of StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated
Statements Of Operations as discontinued operations (see Note 16).
 
 Consolidation
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MRI, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned joint ventures and limited
partnerships in which the Company is a general partner. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As general
partner, the Company is subject to all the liabilities of a general partner
and as of December 31, 1997, is entitled to share in partnership profits,
losses and distributable cash as provided in the partnership agreements. The
limited partnership interests are shown in the accompanying financial
statements as minority interest. Under certain of the partnerships, the
Company also is paid a monthly management fee based on patient cash
collections and/or patient volume under management agreements. Partnership
losses allocable to limited partners in excess of their respective capital
accounts are charged to the Company as general partner. Future income related
to such partnerships will be allocated to the Company as general partner until
such time as the Company has recovered the excess losses. Certain of the
limited partnership agreements require limited partners to make cash
contributions in the event their respective capital accounts are reduced below
zero due to partnership operating losses. The Company has not reflected this
potential recovery from the limited partners due to uncertainty regarding the
ultimate receipt of the cash contributions.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  At each of the Company's diagnostic imaging centers, all medical services
are performed exclusively by physician groups (the "Physician Group" or the
"Interpreting Physician"), generally consisting of radiologists with whom the
Company has entered into independent contractor agreements. Pursuant to these
agreements, the Company has agreed to provide equipment, premises,
comprehensive management and administration, including responsibility for
billing and collection of receivables, and technical imaging services to the
Interpreting Physician.
 
  Net service revenues are reported, when earned, at their estimated net
realizable amounts from patients, third party payors and others for services
rendered at contractually established billing rates which generally are at a
discount from gross billing rates. Known and estimated differences between
contractually established billing rates and gross billing rates ("contractual
allowances") are recognized in the determination of net service revenues at
 
                                      F-9

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
the time services are rendered. Subject to the foregoing, the Company's
imaging centers recognize revenue under one of the three following types of
agreements with Interpreting Physicians:
 
    Type I--The Company receives a technical fee for each diagnostic imaging
  procedure performed at a center, the amount of which is dependent upon the
  type of procedure performed. The fee included in revenues is net of
  contractual allowances. The Company and the Interpreting Physician
  proportionally share in any losses due to uncollectible amounts from
  patients and third party payors, and the Company has established reserves
  for its share of the estimated uncollectible amount.
 
    Type II--The Company bills patients and third party payors directly for
  services provided and pays the Interpreting Physicians either (i) a fixed
  percentage of fees collected at the center, or (ii) a contractually fixed
  amount based upon the specific diagnostic imaging procedures performed.
  Revenues are recorded net of contractual allowances and the Company accrues
  the Interpreting Physicians fee as an expense on the Consolidated
  Statements of Operations. The Company bears the risk of loss due to
  uncollectible amounts from patients and third party payors, and the Company
  has established reserves for the estimated uncollectible amount.
 
    Type III--The Company receives from an affiliated physician association a
  fee for the use of the premises, a fee per procedure for acting as billing
  and collection agent and a fee for administrative and technical services
  performed at the centers. The affiliated physician association contracts
  with and pays directly the Interpreting Physicians. The Company's fee, net
  of an allowance based upon the affiliated physician association's ability
  to pay after the association has fulfilled its obligations (i.e., estimated
  future net collections from patients and third party payors less facility
  lease expense and Interpreting Physicians fees), constitutes the Company's
  net service revenues. Since the Company's net service revenues are
  dependent upon the amount ultimately realized from patient and third party
  receivables, the Company's revenue and receivables have been reduced by an
  estimate of patient and third party payor contractual allowances, as well
  as an estimated provision for uncollectible amounts from patients and third
  party payors.
 
  Revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid are subject to audit by such
agencies. The Company is not aware of any pending audits.
 
  The Company also recognizes revenue from the sale of radiology information
systems. Such revenues are recognized on an accrual basis as earned.
 
 Reclassification
 
  Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most
significant estimates relate to contractual allowances, the allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable, income taxes, contingencies and the useful lives
of equipment. In addition, healthcare industry reforms and reimbursement
practices will continue to impact the Company's operations and the
determination of contractual and other allowance estimates. Actual results
could differ from management's estimates.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  For financial statement purposes cash equivalents include short-term
investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less. Restricted cash
consists of amounts held pursuant to the terms of letters of credit and is
classified based upon the expiration of the restriction.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
 Short-Term Investments
 
  At December 31, 1996 the Company's short-term investments, consist of
certificates of deposits and treasury bills with maturities between three and
twelve months. Such securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Any realized gains and losses are determined on the specific
identification method.
 
  Restricted short-term investments at December 31, 1996 consist of $4,500,000
of United States Government obligations held pursuant to a letter of credit
issued in connection with one of the Company's acquisitions. The letter of
credit served to reserve consideration for the acquisition in the event that
the shares of the Company's Common Stock issued to the seller were not
registered within 60 days of the closing of the sale. During 1997, the shares
were registered within the specified timeframe of the agreement, and as such,
the restriction of the investment was removed.
 
 Investments in Joint Ventures and Limited Partnerships
 
  The minority interests in the equity of consolidated joint ventures and
limited partnerships, which are not material, are reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Investments by the Company in
joint ventures and limited partnerships over which the Company can exercise
significant influence but does not control are accounted for using the equity
method.
 
  The Company suspends recognition of its share of joint ventures losses in
entities in which it holds a minority interest when its investment is reduced
to zero. The Company does not provide for additional losses unless, as a
partner or joint venturer, the Company has guaranteed obligations of the joint
venture or limited partnership.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment procured in the normal course of business is stated
at cost. Property and equipment purchased in connection with an acquisition is
stated at its estimated fair value, generally based on an appraisal. Property
and equipment is depreciated for financial accounting purposes using the
straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives,
generally five to seven years, or the term of a capital lease, if applicable.
Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of the useful life
or the remaining lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Goodwill and other intangible assets
 
  The excess of purchase price of businesses over the fair value of assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill and is amortized on a straight line basis
generally over twenty years. Other intangible assets consist of covenants not
to compete, value of managed care contracts, organizational costs and
capitalized lease costs related to acquired businesses and are amortized on a
straight line basis over their respective initial estimated lives of three to
ten years. Gross intangible assets and related accumulated amortization are as
follows (in thousands):

  Amortization expense from continuing operations for goodwill was $5,626,000,
$1,039,000 and $161,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Amortization
expense for other intangibles was $1,151,000, $506,000 and $337,000 in 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
  The Company periodically reviews goodwill to assess recoverability based
upon expectations of undiscounted cash flows and operating income of each
entity having a material goodwill balance. An impairment would be recognized
in operating results, if the sum of the expected future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of
the related costs in excess of net assets acquired. The amount of the
impairment would be measured by comparing the carrying value of intangible and
other long-lived assets to their fair values. See discussion of 1997
impairment loss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 Earnings Per Share
 
  Effective for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." The adoption of SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of Basic
Earnings per Share and Diluted Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year plus the potentially issuable common
shares related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt.
Earnings per share amounts for prior periods, including related quarters, have
been restated to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 128. The computations
of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

 Stock Options
 
  SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation requires the Company
to choose between two different methods of accounting for stock options. The
Statement defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock options
but allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for stock
options using the

accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB No. 25). The Company has elected to continue using the
accounting methods prescribed by APB No. 25 and will disclose the amount of
the proforma compensation expense, required to be disclosed under the SFAS No.
123. See disclosure in Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. As of December 31,
1997, the Company has provided a valuation reserve against a portion of its
net deferred income tax assets due to uncertainty regarding the ultimate
recovery of such deferred income tax assets. See further discussion in Note 10
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
  SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires an entity to report
comprehensive income and its components for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. This new standard increases financial reporting
disclosures, but will have no impact on the Company's financial position, cash
flows or results of operations.
 
  Statement Of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", requires an entity to expense all
software development costs incurred in the preliminary project state, training
costs and data conversion costs for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The Company believes that this statement will not have a material effect
on the Company's accounting for computer software acquisition cost.
 
  Statement Of Position 97-2, "Consolidation of Physicians' Practice
Entities", requires an entity to consolidate Physicians' Practice Entities in
circumstances in which substantial control is exercised by the Company. The
Company believes that this statement will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND ISSUES AFFECTING LIQUIDITY
 
  As a result of the 1997 net loss, the Company is currently in default of
certain financial covenants under the Company's $78,000,000 of Senior Notes.
Management and the Senior Note lenders are engaged in discussions to resolve
this matter. In the event the parties are unable to reach agreement, the
lenders are entitled, at their discretion, to exercise certain remedies
including acceleration of repayment. There can be no assurance that the Senior
Note lenders will provide the Company with an amendment or waiver of the
defaults. In addition, certain medical equipment notes, and operating and
capital leases of the Company contain provisions which allow the creditors or
lessors to accelerate their debt or terminate their leases and seek certain
other remedies if the Company is in default under the terms of agreements such
as the Senior Notes.
 
  In the event that the Senior Note holders or the other creditors or lessors
elect to exercise their right to accelerate the obligations under the Senior
Notes or the other loans and leases, such acceleration would have a material
adverse effect on the Company, its operations and its financial condition.
Furthermore, if such obligations were to be accelerated, in whole or in part,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
successful in identifying or consummating financing necessary to satisfy the
obligations which would become immediately due and payable. As a result of the
uncertainty related to the defaults and corresponding remedies described
above, the Senior Notes and the other loans and capital leases are shown as
current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December
31, 1997 and the Company has a deficit in working capital of $58,174,000.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. In addition to continuing to negotiate with the Senior
Note lenders in an attempt to obtain waivers or amendments of the
aforementioned defaults, the Company has taken various actions in response to
this situation, including the following: (i) it effected a workforce reduction
in March 1998 aimed at reducing the Company's overall expense levels, and (ii)
it has retained the investment banking firm of SBC Warburg Dillon Read to
assist the Company in exploring a possible sale of the Company's StarMed
temporary staffing subsidiary (see Note 16).
 
  The financial statements, however, do not include any further adjustments
reflecting the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
3. LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND OTHER
UNUSUAL CHARGES
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a $12,962,000 loss
on the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets. This loss consists
of the write-off of goodwill of $10,425,000, covenants not to compete of
$118,000 and fixed assets of $2,419,000. Primarily the entire impairment
relates to eight of the Company's diagnostic imaging centers that are under-
performing. The Company has recorded impairment losses for these centers
because the sum of the expected future cash flows, determined based on an
assumed continuation of current operating methods and structures, does not
cover the carrying value of the related long-lived assets.
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company also recorded $9,723,000 of
other unusual charges consisting of (i) $3,256,000 for the estimated net costs
associated with the resolution of the shareholder and employee lawsuits, (ii)
$2,243,000 for higher than normal professional fees, (iii) $2,169,000
($2,051,000 of which was a non-cash charge related to the issuance of 817,000
warrants) for penalties associated with delays in the registration of the
Company's common stock issued in connection with acquisitions or issuable upon
conversion of convertible preferred stock, (iv) $1,150,000 for the loss on
investment related to a potential acquisition not consummated, (v) $469,000
for costs associated with the investigation of related party transactions
which was concluded in April 1998 and (vi) $436,000 for management termination
benefits and related costs.
 
  The Company expects to incur additional unusual charges of at least
$4,500,000 during 1998 primarily related to the estimated net costs associated
with the resolution of the shareholder and employee lawsuits, penalties
associated with delays in the registration of the Company's Common Stock and
costs associated with the investigation of related party transactions. Such
additional unusual charges could be substantially higher depending upon the
ultimate outcome of current negotiations regarding penalties associated with
failure to register the Company's Common Stock and the outcome of certain
litigation. See further discussion in Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

  Accounts receivable is net of contractual allowances which represent
standard fee reductions negotiated with certain third party payors.
Contractual allowances amounted to approximately $93,490,000, $25,270,000 and
$13,375,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
  The Company's receivables relate to a variety of different structures (see
discussion of revenue recognition in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) as well as a variety of payor classes, including third
party medical reimbursement organizations, principally insurance companies.
Approximately 24.2% and 19.5% of the Company's 1997 and 1996 imaging revenues
was derived from the delivery of services with respect to the timing of
payment is substantially contingent upon the timing of settlement of pending
litigation involving the recipient of services and third parties (Personal
Injury Type accounts receivable). The Company undertakes certain measures to
identify and document the individual's obligation to pay for services rendered
regardless of the outcome of the pending litigation. By its nature, the
realization of a substantial portion of these receivables is expected to
extend beyond one year from the date the service was rendered. The Company
anticipates that a material amount of its Personal Injury Type accounts
receivable will be outstanding for periods in excess of twelve months in the
future. The Company considers the aging of its accounts receivable in
determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts. For Personal Injury
Type accounts receivables, the Company provides for uncollectible accounts at
substantially higher rates than any other revenue source.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  During 1997, the Company borrowed $78,000,000 of Senior Notes (the "Senior
Notes") from a group of insurance companies led by the John Hancock Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock"). The notes bear interest at an average
annual rate of 7.87%, are subject to annual sinking fund payments commencing
February 2001 and have a final maturity in February 2005. The Senior Notes are
guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's diagnostic imaging
subsidiaries and collateralized by certain partnership interests owned through
subsidiaries by the Company. In addition, the agreement relating to the
issuance of the Senior Notes imposes certain affirmative and negative
covenants on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including
restrictions on the payment of dividends. The Company used a portion of the
proceeds from the Senior Notes to retire capital lease obligations totaling
$8,274,000 and notes payable totaling $5,490,000. The difference between the
amount used to retire capital lease obligations and the carrying value of such
obligations was approximately $1,461,000. In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 26 ("FIN 26") "Accounting for the
Purchase of a Leased Asset by the Lessee During the Term of the Lease," the
book value of the related assets have been increased by this amount, not to
exceed the fair value of the assets, which will be amortized over the
remaining useful lives of the assets. In connection with the Senior Note
transaction, the Company paid $337,000 to 712 Advisory Services, Inc., an
affiliate (the "Affiliate") of the Company's Chairman of the Board, for
financial advisory services.
 
  The Company is currently in default of certain financial covenants under the
Senior Notes. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Basis Of Financial Statement Presentation And Issues Affecting
Liquidity.
 
  Debt issued or assumed in connection with 1997 acquisitions bear interest at
rates ranging from 8.6% to 13.75% and mature from 1998 through 2010. Such debt
includes the following convertible notes:
 
    In August 1997, as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of the
  business assets of the Presgar centers, the Company issued up to $3,700,000
  in notes convertible into the Company's Common Stock, of which, $1,200,000
  in principal amount is contingent upon the occurrence of certain events.
  The notes ($2,500,000 outstanding at December 31, 1997) bear interest at
  prime plus 1% (9.5% at December 31, 1997) and mature on August 21, 1998.
 
    In October 1997, as part of the purchase price of the acquisition of the
  Ohio centers, the Company issued $1,750,000 in notes convertible into the
  Company's Common Stock. The notes bear interest at 12% and mature on
  October 3, 1998.
 
  Debt issued or assumed in connection with 1996 acquisitions includes the
following:
 
    In January 1996, as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of the
  business assets of MRI-CT, Inc., the Company issued an $88,000 note payable
  bearing interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1997) due January 9, 2001.
  Also in January 1996, as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of
  the common stock of NurseCare Plus, Inc. the Company issued a note payable
  for $1,250,000 bearing interest at prime plus one percent (9.5% at December
  31, 1997) due January 12, 1999. In June 1996, the Company issued a $510,000
  note payable as part of the purchase price of WeCare Allied Health Care,
  Inc. The note bears interest at prime plus one percent (9.5% at December
  31, 1997) and is due August 1998.
 
    In August 1996, in connection with the NMR Acquisition the Company
  assumed NMR's existing equipment debt obligations, aggregating $13,235,700.
  These notes bear interest at rates ranging from 7.0% to 11.5% and require
  monthly payments ranging from $623 to $38,095 including interest (an
  aggregate of $172,539 per month). The notes are payable over varying terms
  with the last note due in December 2000. The foregoing notes are
  collateralized by the respective centers' imaging equipment. As of December
  31, 1997, the outstanding balance declined to $4,108,000 primarily as a
  result of the application of proceeds from the issuance of the Senior
  Notes.

  Other debt includes the following:
 
    In 1994, StarMed and a creditor renegotiated a note payable. At the time
  of the restructuring, the note balance was adjusted to the amount of the
  projected undiscounted future cash payments based upon the prevailing
  interest rate and, accordingly, no interest expense has been recorded
  subsequent to the effective date of the renegotiation other than the
  amounts attributed to a change in the variable rate and is due in 2000. The
  balance of such note at December 31, 1997 was $3,042,000.
 
  On February 7, 1996, the Company issued at par $6,533,000 aggregate
principal amount of 10.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2001 (the
"1996 Debentures"). The Company called for the redemption of the 1996
Debentures at the conversion price of $6.00 per share on or before March 27,
1997. As of December 31, 1997, all of the 1996 Debentures have been converted.
On May 30, 1995, the Company issued at par $4,350,000 aggregate principal
amount of 11% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2000 (the "1995
Debentures"). The 1995 Debentures automatically converted to Common Stock
when, on June 20, 1997 the market price of the Stock exceeded $6.00 per share
for a 15 consecutive day period. Under the terms of the merger agreement with
NMR, the Company assumed the obligations under NMR's 8% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2001 including payment of principal and interest
(the "NMR Debentures"). The Company called for redemption of the NMR
Debentures at the conversion price of $6.54 per share on or before March 27,
1997. As of December 31, 1997, all of the NMR Debentures had either been
redeemed or converted into Common Stock of the Company. During 1997 and 1996,
debentures of $6,988,000 and $5,735,000, respectively, were converted into
Common Stock.
 
  In connection with the private placements of the 1995 Debentures and the
1996 Debentures, the Company paid $248,000 and $357,000, respectively, in
placement agent fees and expenses to an investment banking firm. Mr. Gary L.
Fuhrman, a director of the Company, is an executive officer and director of
such investment banking firm.

  The Company has three revolving lines of credit from a third party financing
corporation totaling $12,000,000. The lines bear interest at prime plus 1.5%
(10% at December 31, 1997) and have a two-year term. As of December 31, 1997
and 1996, no amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit.
 
  On December 29, 1997, the Company entered into a $15 million credit facility
with DVI Financial Services Inc. (the "Facility"). The Facility provides for
two advances to the Company, one for $8 million and the other for $7 million.
In consideration for making the Facility available to the Company, the lender
received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock
at an exercise price based upon 110% of the average market prices over a
period prior to the issuance of the warrants. In the event that the lender
refuses to make the second advance, warrants to purchase 46,667 shares of
Common Stock will be canceled. As of December 31, 1997, $8,000,000 had been
borrowed under the Facility.

  During 1997, StarMed obtained a revolving line of credit from a third party
financing corporation. The $6,000,000 line bears interest at a rate of prime
plus 1.5% (10% at December 31, 1997), has a two year term and is
collateralized by substantially all of StarMed's accounts receivable. At
December 31, 1997, $3,744,000 was outstanding under the line. In early 1998,
StarMed increased the availability under the revolving line of credit by
$1,000,000.
 
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
 Authorized Stock
 
  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). The Company has a Shareholders'
Rights Plan (described below) which requires the issuance of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, in connection with the exercise of certain
stock purchase rights. At December 31, 1997, there was (i) 21,889,000 shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding and, (ii) 18,000 shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding (the "Convertible Preferred Shares").
 
 Shareholders' Rights Plan
 
  Pursuant to the Shareholders' Rights Plan, in August 1996 holders of the
Common Stock received a distribution of one right (the "Rights") to purchase
one ten thousandth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock
for each share of Common Stock owned. The Rights will generally become
exercisable ten days after a person or group acquires 15% of the Company's
outstanding voting securities or ten business days after a person or group
commences or announces an intention to commence a tender or exchange offer
that could result in the acquisition of 15% of any such securities. Ten days
after a person acquires 15% or more of the Company's outstanding voting
securities (unless this time period is extended by the Board of Directors)
each Right would, subject to certain adjustments and alternatives, entitle the
rightholder to purchase Common Stock of the Company or stock of the acquiring
company having a market value of twice the $24.00 exercise price of the Right
(except that the acquiring person or group and other related holders would not
be able to purchase common stock of the Company on these terms). The Rights
are nonvoting, expire in 2006 and may be redeemed by the Company at a price of
$.001 per Right at any time prior to the tenth day after an individual or
group acquired 15% of the Company's voting stock, unless extended.
 
  The purpose of the Rights is to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate
with the Company's Board of Directors prior to attempting a takeover and to
give the Board leverage in negotiating on behalf of the shareholder the terms
of any proposed takeover.
 
 Convertible Preferred Stock
 
  In July 1997, the Company issued 18,000 shares of $1,000 Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, to RGC International, LDC
("RGC"). The Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Stock of
the Company at the option of RGC beginning on the date on which a registration
statement relating to the Common Stock underlying the Convertible Preferred
Shares (the "Conversion Shares") is declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, provided that, beginning 180 days from the effectiveness
of such registration statement, the Company may require the conversion of all
or a portion of the Convertible Preferred Shares.
 
  The Convertible Preferred Shares convert into the Company's Common Stock by
dividing the Stated Value of the Convertible Preferred Shares, plus 3% per
annum to the date of conversion, by the lesser of (i) $20.70 and (ii) the
average of the daily closing bid prices for the Company's Common Stock for the
five (5) consecutive trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to
the date of conversion. If the average closing price of the Company's Common
Stock (the "Closing Price") for any ten (10) consecutive trading days does not
exceed

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
$12.25 (the "Floor Price"), the Company has the right to block conversion of
the Convertible Preferred Shares by RGC for up to thirty (30) days in the
aggregate. Effective May 1998, in exchange for certain concessions with
respect to penalties, the Company waived the above-described right to block
conversion. If the Closing Price does not exceed the Floor Price for 30
consecutive calendar days, the Convertible Preferred Shares are redeemable, in
whole or in part, at the option of the Company for 110% of the stated value
plus 3% per annum. RGC is subject to volume restrictions which prohibit the
sale of more than 25% of the daily or weekly trading volume in any such
period, unless certain circumstances exist. The liquidation preference of each
Convertible Preferred Share is $1,000 plus 3% per annum. The holder of the
Convertible Preferred Shares is entitled to limited voting rights.
 
  As of December 31, 1997, based upon the current market price of the
Company's Common Stock, the Convertible Preferred Shares would be convertible
into 1,944,000 shares of Company Common Stock, representing 8% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date after giving effect to the
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Shares. Under the terms of the
Convertible Preferred Shares, RGC is not permitted to convert Shares of the
Convertible Preferred Shares which would result in RGC owning in excess of 5%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As discussed above, the Company has
the option to repurchase the shares at 110% of stated value plus 3% per annum.
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement"), dated July 21,
1997, between the Company and RGC, and the Registration Rights Agreement,
dated July 21, 1997, (the "Series C Registration Rights Agreement"), between
the Company and RGC (the Series C Stock Purchase Agreement and the RGC
Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "RGC
Agreements"), the Company was required to use its best efforts to include the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "RGC Conversion Shares") in an effective Registration Statement on
Form S-3 not later than October 1997. The RGC Agreements provide for monthly
penalties ("RGC Registration Penalties") in the event that the Company fails
to register the Conversion Shares prior to October 1997 with such penalties
continuing until such time as the Conversion Shares are registered as required
by the RGC Agreements.
 
  As a result of the Company's failure to register the RGC Conversion Shares
at various dates on or after December 31, 1997, the Company: (i) in lieu of
RGC Registration Penalties accruing on or before December 31, 1997, issued
warrants to RGC to acquire 817,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $11.62 per share (such warrants having an estimated value for accounting
purposes of $2,051,000); (ii) in lieu of RGC Registration Penalties accruing
during the month of January 1998, issued warrants to RGC to acquire 350,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.95 per share (such warrants
having an estimated value for accounting purposes only of $1,194,000); and
(iii) in lieu of RGC Registration Penalties accruing from February 1, 1998 to
April 30, 1998, issued to RGC interest bearing promissory notes, due May 1,
1998 (the "RGC Penalty Notes"), in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,440,000. On May 1, 1998, as a result of the Company's failure to register
the Conversion Shares on or before such date, RGC was entitled under the RGC
Agreements to demand a one-time penalty of $1,800,000 (the "May 1998 Penalty")
payable, at the option of RGC, in cash or additional shares of Common Stock.
As of May 26, 1998, RGC had not demanded payment or other satisfaction of the
May 1998 Penalty.
 
  On May 1, 1998, the Company did not pay RGC the $1,440,000 that was then due
and payable under the RGC Penalty Notes. Additionally, as a result of the
Company's continuing failure to register the Conversion Shares, RGC is
entitled to additional penalties of $540,000 per month (payable at the option
of RGC in cash or additional shares of Common Stock). The Company and RGC are
currently in discussions regarding the restructuring of the Penalty Notes, the
May 1998 Penalty and the on-going monthly penalties, but there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in restructuring such
obligations on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.

 Stock Options and Employee Stock Grants
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), was issued in October 1995, establishing
a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans,
including stock options and stock purchase plans. SFAS No. 123 allows
companies to adopt a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation plans or, at their option, to retain the intrinsic-value based
method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and supplement it with pro forma
disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share data as if the fair value
method had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to account for
stock-based compensation plans under APB No. 25 and, as such, the adoption of
this standard has not impacted the consolidated results of earnings or
financial condition.
 
  The Company's five stock option plans provide for the awarding of incentive
and non qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants who
may contribute to the success of the Company. The options granted vest either
immediately or ratably over a period of time from the date of grant, typically
three or four years, at a price determined by the Board of Directors or a
committee of the Board of Directors, generally the fair value of the Company's
Common Stock at the date of grant. Options granted to consultants are
accounted for based on the fair value of the options issued.
 
  During 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, options were granted to employees
under stock option plans which were approved by the Company's Shareholders in
May 1997. The difference between the exercise price of the options and the
market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of plan approval
resulted in compensation aggregating $3,381,000. The 1997 expense of
$2,536,000 representing the portion of such options vested in 1997 is included
as stock based compensation expense in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The remaining balance of $845,000 will be recognized
ratably over the remaining vesting period of the options. In the following
tables, these options are treated as if they were granted on the date of the
plan approvals in May 1997.
 
  Options to purchase 1,740,938 shares of the Company's Common Stock granted
to employees of the Company in 1997 under an option plan (the "1997 Plan")
have lapsed and are not deemed to have been granted due to the fact that the
1997 Plan was not presented for approval to the Company's Stockholders within
one year of such plan's approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
  Had the fair-value based method of accounting been adopted to recognize
compensation expense for the above plans (excluding the 1997 Plan), the
Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
pro forma amounts for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 as
indicated below (in thousands except per share amounts):

of Directors authorizes the issuance of stock purchase warrants at its
discretion. The Company's Board of Directors have generally granted warrants
in connection with purchase and financing transactions. The number of warrants
issued and related terms are determined by a committee of independent
directors.

  For services rendered by a financial advisory company owned by the Chairman
of the Board (the "Affiliate") in connection with several acquisitions, the
Company issued warrants (the "Acquisition Warrants") to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock at exercise prices equal to the market price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of issuance. The fair value of such
warrants was considered part of the purchase price of the related acquisition,
and was determined (for accounting purposes only) using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model using the following assumptions: Dividend yield 0%;
expected volatility 62%; Expected life three to five years and a risk free
interest rate of 5.6% as set forth below. The Acquisition Warrants are
exercisable at prices ranging from $10.31 to $12.59 per share. As of May 26,
1998, none of the Acquisition Warrants had been exercised, and the closing
sale price of the Common Stock was $3 1/16.
 
    Warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of a diagnostic
  imaging center located in Jacksonville, Florida to purchase 32,000 shares
  of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.31 per share. The
  warrants have a term of three years, are exercisable from the date of grant
  and have an estimated fair value (for accounting purposes only) of
  $150,000.

shares of the Company's Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.62 per
share. These warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable from the

$9.54 per share have a term of seven years and are exercisable from the date
of grant. The warrants had an estimated fair value of $337,000 which was
recorded as a deferred financing expense and is being amortized as additional
interest over the term of the facility. The fair value of each warrant was
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following
assumptions: Dividend yield 0%, Expected volatility 62%, Expected life seven
years and a risk free interest rate of 5.63% based on the expected life of the
warrants.
 
  For warrants granted during 1996, the fair value of each stock purchase
warrant issued has been accounted for as a component of each transaction's
purchase price and the value has been estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
dividend yield--0%, expected volatility--52% and an expected life of 2 years,
unless otherwise noted.
 
  In March 1996 a financial consulting firm doing business with the Company

consisting of 37,500 warrants with an exercise price of $8.00 per share and
37,500 warrants with an exercise price of $12.00 per share. These warrants

</TABLE>
 
  The Company's existing deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997 have been
reduced by a valuation allowance of $10,700,000, due to the uncertainty
regarding the realization of the full amount of such deferred tax assets.
 
  At December 31, 1997, the Company has available federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $8,028,000 expiring in years 1999 through 2009.
 
  Utilization of the Company's tax net operating losses is limited to the
separately determined taxable incomes of certain of its subsidiaries. In
addition, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules ("Section
382") limiting the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in periods
following a corporate ownership change. In general, a corporate ownership
change is deemed to occur if the percentage of stock of a loss corporation
owned (actually, constructively and in certain cases deemed owned) by one or
more "5% shareholders" has increased by 50 percentage points over the lowest
percentage of such stock owned during a specified testing period (generally a
three year period). The utilization of the Company's available net operating
loss carryforwards is subject to such limitations. Should the Company
experience further ownership changes, its ability to utilize the available
federal net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to further
limitation.
 
  The Company also has available tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$385,000 expiring between 1998 and 2011. The utilization of such credits is
also subject to a limitation similar to the net operating loss limitation
described above.

  In connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the Company
entered into agreements for the sale and leaseback of medical diagnostic
equipment. Included in future minimum lease payments listed above are
$1,782,000 for each of the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and $803,000 for 2002,
relating to these transactions.
 
  The Company leases its corporate offices and certain centers for periods
generally ranging from three to ten years. These leases include rent
escalation clauses generally tied to the consumer price index and contain
provisions for additional terms at the option of the tenant. The leases
generally require the Company to pay utilities, taxes, insurance and other
costs. Rental expense under such leases was approximately $6,585,000,
$2,597,000 and $2,238,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Ten of the offices are subleased to affiliated Physicians.
By reason of the sublease arrangements, if the respective Physicians should be
unable to pay the rental on the site, the Company would be contingently
liable. As of December 31,

1997, the Company has subleased the operating sites to the Physicians for the
base rental as stipulated in the original lease. The related sublease income
has been offset by the lease rent expense. The Company also has operating
leases for diagnostic imaging equipment installed in certain of its imaging
centers.
 
  The following summary of non-cancelable obligations includes the sublease
arrangements described above, certain equipment leases and the Company's
corporate rentals. As of December 31, 1997, the aggregate future minimum lease
payments and sublease rentals are as follows (in thousands):

 Contingencies
 
  Between November 1997 and January 1998, several lawsuits were commenced
against the Company, certain of the Company's Directors and certain officers
concerning the related party transactions investigated by the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors ("Special Committee"). The complaints in
each action assert that the Company and the named defendants violated Section
10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging that the
Company omitted and/or misrepresented material information in its public
filings, including that the Company failed to disclose that it had entered
into acquisitions that were not in the best interest of the Company, that it
had paid unreasonable and unearned acquisition and financial advisory fees to
related parties, and that it concealed or failed to disclose adverse material
information about the Company. Each action seeks unspecified compensatory
damages, with interest, and the costs and expenses incurred in bringing the
action. On February 9, 1998, the above-mentioned class actions were
consolidated for all purposes in federal district court in New Jersey. On
March 31, 1998, the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated class actions served
their Consolidated Class Action Complaint, asserting that the Company and the
named defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and that certain
named defendants violated Sections 20(a) and 20A of the Exchange Act. The
Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  As previously announced by the Company the U.S. Attorney for the District of
New Jersey commenced an investigation in connection with the disclosures
regarding the related party transactions referred to above. In addition, as
previously disclosed, the Company has also received an inquiry from the SEC,
but no formal proceedings have been commenced by the SEC. The Company has
cooperated fully with these authorities and provided all information requested
by them.
 
  On November 7, 1997, the Company accepted the resignations of William D.
Farrell, as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and as
Director, and Gary I. Fields, as Senior Vice President and General Counsel. On
the same date, Messrs. Farrell and Fields filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the Company and the
members of the Company's Board of Directors, claiming retaliatory discharge
under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act and breach of
contract. On December 17, 1997, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add
a claim for violation of public policy. The plaintiffs allege that they were
constructively terminated as a result of their objection to certain related-
party transactions, the purported failure of the defendants to adequately
disclose the circumstances

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
surrounding such transactions, and the Company's public issuance of alleged
false and misleading accounts concerning or relating to such related-party
transactions. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages, interest and costs and reinstatement of the plaintiffs to their
positions with the Company. On April 8, 1998, the Company filed its Answer to
the Amended Complaint, and asserted a counterclaim against Messrs. Farrell and
Fields for breach of fiduciary duties. The Company intends to defend
vigorously against the allegations.
 
  On November 8, 1997, the Company removed John P. O'Malley III, the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, for failure to fulfill certain of his functions as
Chief Financial Officer. Mr. O'Malley has filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the Company and
members of the Board of Directors, as defendants, claiming retaliatory
discharge under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act and
defamation. Mr. O'Malley alleges that the Company terminated his employment in
retaliation for voicing the concerns of shareholders and senior management
regarding related-party transactions and because the Company did not want to
make full and adequate disclosure of the facts and circumstances surrounding
such transactions. In addition, Mr. O'Malley alleges that the Company
published false and defamatory statements about him. Mr. O'Malley seeks
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs of bringing
the action. On April 8, 1998, the Company filed its Answer to the Complaint,
and asserted a counterclaim against Mr. O'Malley for breach of fiduciary
duties. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  In 1996, an individual and his spouse brought an action in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, King's County against Advanced MRA Imaging
Associates in Brooklyn, New York, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
("MRA Imaging"), for damages aggregating $12,500,000 million. The plaintiff
alleges negligent operations, improper supervision and hiring practices and
the failure to operate the premises in a safe manner, as a result of which the
individual suffered physical injury. The Company's general liability and
professional negligence insurance carriers have been notified, and it has been
agreed that the general liability insurance will pursue the defense of this
matter, however such insurers have reserved the right to claim that the scope
of the matter falls outside the Company's coverage. The parties to this matter
are engaged in discovery.
 
  The legal proceedings described above are in their preliminary stages.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims
against it, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings.
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and
litigation other than those set forth above. Management believes that such
other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions in which the
Company issued shares of its Common Stock as partial consideration, the
Company granted rights to have such shares registered for resale pursuant to
the federal securities laws. In certain of such acquisitions, the Company has
granted specific remedies to the sellers in the event that the registration
statement covering the relevant shares is not declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission within an agreed-upon period of time,
including the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares issued to
such seller. In the event the Company is unable to register such shares by the
required dates, the Company would become obligated to repurchase the shares
issued in connection with such acquisition. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company had reflected $9,734,000 of Common Stock subject to redemption on its
Consolidated Balance Sheet related to shares that the Company may be required
to repurchase. During January 1, 1998 through May 26, 1998, the Company paid
$3,275,000 to sellers who exercised their rights to have 179,000 shares of
Common Stock repurchased. In addition, the Company expects to pay an
additional $5,763,000 during the remainder of 1998 in connection with the
settlement of certain repurchase obligations of the Company, (representing
414,000 shares of Common Stock) subject under certain circumstances, to the
consent of the Senior Notes holders.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of such acquisitions, the Company
has agreed with the sellers in such acquisitions to pay (in additional shares
and/or cash) to the sellers an amount equal to the shortfall in the value of
the issued shares in the event the market value of such shares at the relevant
effective date of the registration statement or other negotiated date is less
than the market value of such shares as of the closing of the acquisition or,
in other cases, as of the execution of the relevant acquisition agreement
(referred to as "Price Protection"). Based upon the closing sales price of the
Company's Common Stock on May 26, 1998 ($3 1/16 per share), such shortfall
would be approximately $9,634,000, which amount may be reduced by up to
$5,977,000 to the extent certain sellers exercise their repurchase rights
referred to above.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the
Company has agreed with the relevant sellers that all or a portion of the
consideration for such acquisitions will be paid on a contingent basis based
upon the profitability, revenues or other financial criteria of the acquired
business during an agreed-upon measurement period following the closing of the
acquisition (usually, one to three years). The specific terms of such
contingent consideration differs for each acquisition. In connection with
certain acquisitions, the Company and the relevant sellers have agreed to a
maximum amount of contingent consideration, and in other cases, the parties
have agreed that any payment of such contingent consideration may be paid in
cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.
 
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  During 1997, in connection with the placement of the Preferred Stock, the
Company paid $967,000 in fees and expenses to Arnhold & S. Bleichroeder, Inc.,
of which Gary Fuhrman, a director of the Company, is an executive officer and
director. Also during 1997, for legal services rendered to the Company, the
Company paid legal fees in the amount of $971,000 to Werbel & Carnelutti, of
which Stephen Davis, a director of the Company, is a partner. In addition,
during 1997, the Company reimbursed the managing underwriter of the Company's
October public offering $84,000 in charter fees for the use by the managing
underwriter and the Company of an airplane owned by an affiliate of the
Chairman of the Board during the public offering roadshow.
 
  In 1997 and previous years, the Company paid an annual financial advisory
fee to 712 Advisory Services, Inc., a financial advisory firm and affiliate of
the Company's Chairman of the Board (the "Affiliate"). Mr. Neil H. Koffler, a
director of the Company, is also an employee of the Affiliate. Such fees
amounted to $112,500, $102,000 and $225,000 in the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 1997,
the Company also paid transaction related advisory fees and expenses
(including fees associated with the issuance of the Senior Notes) to the
Affiliate of $1,761,000 and issued to the Affiliate warrants to purchase
675,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock exercisable at between $10.31 and
$12.59 per share for financial advisory services rendered to the Company in
connection with such transactions. As discussed below, pursuant to
recommendations made by the Special Committee, the Affiliate has reimbursed
the Company $1,536,000 of the fees paid to the Affiliate for services rendered
in 1997 and waived $112,500 of fees payable in 1997.
 
  In order to incentivize officers, directors, employees and consultants to
the Company, the Company from time to time has granted options at fair market
value to such individuals. As of December 31, 1997, stock options to purchase
1,468,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock have been issued to the
Chairman and Mr. Koffler. Included in this amount are stock options to
purchase 750,000 shares and 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock which
were granted to the Chairman and Mr. Koffler, respectively, under the
Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). As discussed below, the
Chairman and Mr. Koffler have agreed to relinquish the stock options that were
granted to them under the 1997 Plan.

  In September 1997, the Company acquired, for $3,250,000, a limited
partnership interest in Dune Jet Services, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a
Delaware limited partnership formed for the purposes of acquiring and
operating an airplane for the partner's business uses and for third party
charter flights. The general partner of the Partnership is Dune Jet Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, the sole stockholder of which is the Company's
Chairman. In October 1997, following discussions among management (members of
which expressed objections to such acquisition), the Special Committee, and
other members of the Board of Directors (including the Chairman), the
Company's interest in the partnership was repurchased by the partnership at
cost plus interest.
 
  In October 1997, members of the Company's management communicated to the
Board that certain Company stockholders had questioned them regarding the
manner in which related-party transactions are scrutinized by the Company and
its Board. Management stated that it shared the concerns of these stockholders
and had engaged counsel to conduct a review of such transactions.
 
  In order to address and satisfy the concerns management had communicated,
the Company instituted a special investigation to review related-party
transactions and the adequacy of the disclosure of the same. The review also
was to seek to develop recommendations as to what changes, if any, should be
made to the Company's procedures regarding related-party transactions.
 
  The Committee issued the results of its investigation and certain
recommendations in a report to the Company's Board of Directors and on April
6, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors voted to adopt the recommendations
contained in the report. Accordingly, the Committee recommended and the
Affiliate agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $1,424,000 in fees for
transactions completed after June 1, 1997, to reimburse $112,500 of the
retainer paid to the Affiliate for 1997, to waive payment of an additional
$112,500 of fees accrued by the Company for the third and fourth quarters of
1997, and to pay a substantial amount of the expenses associated with the
Committee's investigations. In addition, the Committee recommended and the
Affiliate agreed to allow the Company to terminate its relationship with the
Affiliate.
 
  The Committee responded to the directors that it had determined that: (i)
there was no evidence of any federal or state crimes or securities law
violations in connection with the related party transactions in question; (ii)
all related-party matters were disclosed in public filings; (iii) the
Affiliate performed acquisition advisory services fully consistent with the
expectations and understanding of the committee of outside directors that had
approved the Affiliate's acquisition fees; and (iv) the acquisition advisory
fees paid to the Affiliate in connection with the Company's acquisitions in
1997 were within the range of customary acquisition advisory fees paid to
investment bankers on transactions of similar size.
 
  The Chairman and Mr. Koffler also agreed voluntarily to relinquish 765,000
stock options that were granted to them in May 1997 and permit the Board's
Compensation Committee, with the assistance of compensation experts, to
determine the appropriate director compensation for 1997.
 
  In addition, for the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company paid
transaction related advisory fees and expenses to the Affiliate of $363,000
and issued to the Affiliate warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of the
Company's common stock exercisable at $9.00 per share for services rendered to
the Company, including services in connection with the NMR acquisition, the
public offering of the Company's common stock in October 1996 and other
transactions. See Note 11 of notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
discussion of litigation matters regarding related party transactions.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgement is necessarily required in interpreting market data to
develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could
realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions
and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired certain assets for $1,050,000
cash and a $510,000 note payable bearing interest at prime plus one percent
due July 1998. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net

years.
 
  On August 30, 1996, the Company consummated the NMR Acquisition. NMR was
engaged directly and through limited partnerships in the operation of eighteen
diagnostic imaging centers. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, NMR was
merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each issued and
outstanding share of NMR Common Stock was converted into 0.6875 shares of the
Company's Common Stock resulting in the issuance of 4,456,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock valued at $39,350,000. The excess of the purchase price
and direct acquisition costs (including $200,000 in fees and 120,000 warrants,
with an exercise price of $9.00, valued (for accounting purposes only) at
$325,000 for financial advisory services issued to the Affiliate) over the
fair value of net assets acquired amounted to approximately $35,286,000 and is
being amortized on a straight line basis over twenty years.
 
  On November 25, 1996 the Company consummated the acquisition of two
diagnostic imaging centers in Garden City and East Setauket, New York (the
"Long Island" centers). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company
acquired certain assets and liabilities for a $4,500,000 convertible
promissory note due January 9, 1997 and $1,900,000 in cash. The convertible
promissory note converted into 533,175 shares of the Company's Common Stock
upon registration of the shares in accordance with its terms at a conversion

amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.
 
  On December 16, 1996, the Company acquired the Imaging Center of the
Ironbound in Newark, New Jersey (the "Ironbound" center) from TME, Inc. for
$216,000 in cash and 18,868 shares of Company Common Stock valued at $200,000.
The excess of the purchase price and direct acquisition costs over the fair
value of net assets acquired amounted to approximately $440,000 and is being
amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.
 
  Each of the above acquisitions consummated in 1996 (the "1996 Acquisitions")
were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The operations of
the imaging center acquisitions are included as part of continuing operations
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of purchase.
Contingent consideration associated with acquisitions is recorded as
additional purchase price.
 
 1995 Acquisitions
 
  On February 24, 1995, the Company consummated a merger (the "Merger") with
Maternity Resources, Inc. ("Maternity Resources"), a Delaware corporation
engaged in the wholesale, manufacture and retail sale of maternity apparel.
The merger was consummated pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of February 24, 1995 by and among the Company, Maternity
Resources and the other parties named therein (the "Sellers"). Maternity
Resources was formed on December 27, 1994 for the sole purpose of acquiring
Maternity Retail Partners, L.P. and Kik Kin, L.P. Pursuant to the Agreement,
the Company acquired (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Maternity Resources from the Sellers in exchange for
 
                                     F-41

                            MEDICAL RESOURCES, INC.
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
an aggregate of 480,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01
and (ii) 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock of Maternity Resources from the holders thereof in exchange
for shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock. At the time of the Merger, the Company and Maternity Resources were
under common control through stock ownership and, as a result, the Merger was
accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control. Under this
method of accounting, when entities are under common control, the assets,
liabilities and operations are combined at historical cost in a manner similar
to that in pooling of interests accounting. In November 1995, the Company sold
its Maternity Resources subsidiaries and consequently transferred all of
Maternity Resources liabilities to unaffiliated third parties. The Company has
no material contingent liabilities remaining with respect to Maternity
Resources. Since the Maternity operations have been sold, Maternity Resources
has been reported as a discontinued operation.
 
  Maternity apparel revenues were recognized on an accrual basis as earned and
realizable and consisted of net revenue derived from the wholesale and retail
sale of maternity clothing and apparel. Maternity apparel revenues amounted to
approximately $11,057,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The initial
purchase price of $4,076,000 (the aggregate recorded fair value of the Common
Stock and the Preferred Stock issued by the Company in connection with the
Merger) exceeded the book value of net assets acquired of $1,120,000 by
$2,955,000. This amount could be considered a distribution to shareholders. On
December 27, 1995, preferred shares, which were included as part of the
$4,076,000 having a potential redemption value of $2,392,000 were redeemed by
the Company for an agreed upon aggregate amount of $24,000. The net amount
paid in excess of the net assets acquired after the redemption amounted to
$564,000. The acquisition of Maternity was accounted for in a manner similar
to that in a pooling of interests. This accounting resulted in certain
adjustments directly to stockholders' equity. A credit of $1,022,000 was made
to paid-in-capital related to the forgiveness of certain debt owed by
Maternity to affiliated organizations that is accounted for as a capital
contribution due to the related party nature. A credit of $570,000 was made to
retained deficit that represents a portion of Maternity's January 1995 losses
attributable to a subsidiary. These losses were included in the Company's 1994
operations in recognition of the then full year's operating results for the
specific subsidiary's year ended January 31, 1995. Accordingly, the amount
duplicated in 1995 operating results is reversed. A charge of $269,000 to
paid-in-capital relates to a cash redemption by Maternity of its then
outstanding redeemable preferred stock prior to the merger. Maternity Retail
Partners L.P. has also been included in the Company's consolidated operating
results for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.
 
  On May 26, 1995, the Company consummated the acquisition of the business
operations of New England MRI, Inc. ("New England MRI"), a Florida corporation
based in Fort Myers, Florida, which owned and managed two diagnostic imaging
centers (the "Centers"). The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of May 17, 1995 by and among two
of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries--Fort Myers Resources, Inc. ("FMR")
and Central Fort Myers Resources, Inc. ("CFMR"), and "New England MRI".
Pursuant to the Agreement, FMR acquired substantially all of the assets of one
of the centers and CFMR acquired all of the assets of the other center through
the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at
$3,449,000. Of the 1,200,000 shares, 600,000 shares were issued at closing
with the remaining 600,000 shares to be issued within two years of closing
(600,000 of such shares were issued in 1997). The centers achieved certain
earnings objectives and as a result, an additional 200,000 shares were issued
in September 1997, to New England MRI, in accordance with the additional
consideration provisions in the purchase agreement. The market value of the
shares upon issuance was recorded as additional goodwill subject to
amortization over the stated period. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired amounted to approximately $5,746,000 and is
being amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. The accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of FMR and CFMR from
the above date of acquisition. The shares issued to New England MRI as
consideration for the purchased assets are subject to certain registration
rights.

  On June 19, 1995, the Company consummated the acquisition of the business
operations of PCC Imaging, Inc. ("PCC"), which owns and manages a diagnostic
imaging center. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated June 19, 1995 by and among the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, Hackensack Resources, Inc. ("HRI") and PCC. Pursuant
to the agreement, HRI acquired substantially all of the assets of the center
for $1,800,000 in cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, under
which the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities based upon fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of
the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired amounted to
$751,000 and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of PCC
from the above date of acquisition.
 
  The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma results of continuing
operations for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, assuming the 1997
imaging center acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997 and 1996 and the
1996 imaging center acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1996 (in
thousands, except per share data):

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the StarMed Sale, which
is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and approval by the
Company's Senior Note lenders, is expected to occur in late July or in August
of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results of operations of
StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements Of
Operations as discontinued operations. The amounts in accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and related notes thereto, have been
restated to reflect StarMed as a discontinued operation.
 
  Net cash proceeds from the StarMed Sale at closing, before income taxes but
after estimated costs of sale and after the repayment of StarMed's outstanding
third-party debt, is expected to be approximately $19 million. Net of cash of
approximately $4 million at June 30, 1998 in the StarMed business (which will
be retained by RehabCare Group, Inc.), the StarMed Sale is expected to
increase the Company's consolidated cash balance at closing by approximately
$15 million. $2 million of the $33 million sales price will be placed in
escrow at closing to be available, for a specified period of time, to offset
indemnification obligations that may be incurred by the Company; subject to
actual claims experience, part or all of this amount will be payable to the
Company over time. For accounting purposes, a pretax gain from the StarMed
Sale of approximately $5 million is expected to be reported in the third
quarter of 1998.
 
  The following table shows summary balance sheets for StarMed as of December
31 (in thousands):

See note 14 for discontinued operations relating to Maternity Resources, Inc.
for 1995
 
  In June 1998, an individual filed a complaint against the Company, StarMed,
Wesley Medical Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Wesley"), and
certain officers and directors of the Company in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint, among other
things, alleges that the defendants omitted and/or misrepresented material
information in the Company's public filings and that they concealed or failed
to disclose adverse material information about the Company in connection with
the sale of Wesley to the Company by the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks
damages in the amount of $4.25 million or, alternatively, recession of the
sale of Wesley. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the
claims asserted by plaintiff, and intends to defend itself vigorously. In July
1998, the Company and the named defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
plaintiff's complaint on numerous grounds. The legal proceeding described
above is in its preliminary stages. Although the Company believes it has

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 General
 
  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Medical
Resources, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire
year.
 
  The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the year ended December 31,
1997.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  At each of the Company's diagnostic imaging centers, all medical services
are performed exclusively by physician groups (the "Physician Group" or the
"Interpreting Physician"), generally consisting of radiologists with whom the
Company has entered into independent contractor agreements. Pursuant to these
agreements, the Company has agreed to provide equipment, premises,
comprehensive management and administration, including responsibility for
billing and collection of receivables, and technical imaging services to the
Interpreting Physician.
 
  Net service revenues are reported, when earned, at their estimated net
realizable amounts from patients, third party payors and others for services
rendered at contractually established billing rates which generally are at a
discount from gross billing rates. Known and estimated differences between
contractually established billing rates and gross billing rates ("contractual
allowances") are recognized in the determination of net service revenues at
the time services are rendered. Subject to the foregoing, the Company's
imaging centers recognize revenue under one of the three following types of
agreements with Interpreting Physicians:
 
  Type I--The Company receives a technical fee for each diagnostic imaging
  procedure performed at a center, the amount of which is dependent upon the
  type of procedure performed. The fee included in revenues is net of
  contractual allowances. The Company and the Interpreting Physician
  proportionally share in any losses due to uncollectible amounts from
  patients and third party payors, and the Company has established reserves
  for its share of the estimated uncollectible amount.
 
  Type II--The Company bills patients and third party payors directly for
  services provided and pays the Interpreting Physicians either (i) a fixed
  percentage of fees collected at the center, or (ii) a contractually fixed
  amount based upon the specific diagnostic imaging procedures performed.
  Revenues are recorded net of contractual allowances and the Company accrues
  the Interpreting Physicians fee as an expense on the Consolidated
  Statements of Operations. The Company bears the risk of loss due to
  uncollectible amounts from patients and third party payors, and the Company
  has established reserves for the estimated uncollectible amount.
 
  Type III--The Company receives from an affiliated physician association a
  fee for the use of the premises, a fee per procedure for acting as billing
  and collection agent and a fee for administrative and technical service
  performed at the centers. The affiliated physician association contracts
  with and pays directly the Interpreting Physicians. The Company's fee, net
  of an allowance based upon the affiliated physician association's ability
  to pay after the association has fulfilled its obligations (i.e., estimated
  future net collections from patients and third party payors less facility
  lease expense and Interpreting Physicians fees),

  constitutes the Company's net service revenues. Since the Company's net
  service revenues are dependent upon the amount ultimately realized from
  patient and third party receivables, the Company's revenue and receivables
  have been reduced by an estimate of patient and third party payor
  contractual allowances, as well as an estimated provision for uncollectible
  amounts from patients and third party payors.
 
  Revenues derived from Medicare and Medicaid are subject to audit by such
agencies. The Company is not aware of any pending audits.
 
  The Company also recognizes revenue from the sale of radiology information
systems. Such revenues are recognized on an accrual basis as earned.
 
 Reclassification
 
  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

 Earnings Per Share
 
  Effective for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." This statement requires the presentation of Basic Earnings per Share
and Diluted Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period plus the potentially issuable common
shares related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt.
Earnings per share amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 have been
restated to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 128. The computations of
basic earning per share and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended
March 31, were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND ISSUES AFFECTING LIQUIDITY
 
  As a result of the 1997 net loss, the Company is currently in default of
certain financial covenants under the Company's $78,000,000 of Senior Notes.
Management and the Senior Note lenders are engaged in discussions to resolve
this matter. In the event the parties are unable to reach agreement, the
lenders are entitled, at their discretion, to exercise certain remedies
including acceleration of repayment. There can be no assurance that the Senior
Note lenders will provide the Company with an amendment or waiver of the
defaults. In addition, certain
 
                                     F-52
<PAGE>
 
                            MEDICAL RESOURCES, INC.
 
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
medical equipment notes, and operating and capital leases of the Company
contain provisions which allow the creditors or lessors to accelerate their
debt or terminate their leases and seek certain other remedies if the Company
is in default under the terms of agreements such as the Senior Notes.
 
  In the event that the Senior Note holders or the other creditors or lessors
elect to exercise their right to accelerate the obligations under the Senior
Notes or the other loans and leases, such acceleration would have a material
adverse effect on the Company, its operations and its financial condition.
Furthermore, if such obligations were to be accelerated, in whole or in part,
there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in identifying
or consummating financing necessary to satisfy the obligations which would
become immediately due and payable. As a result of the uncertainty related to
the defaults and corresponding remedies described above, the Senior Notes and
the other loans and capital leases are shown as current liabilities on the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
Accordingly, the Company has a deficit in working capital of $59,043,000 at
March 31, 1998. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. In addition to continuing to negotiate
with the Senior Note lenders in an attempt to obtain waivers or amendments of
the aforementioned defaults, the Company has taken various actions in response
to this situation, including the following: (i) it effected a workforce
reduction in March 1998 aimed at reducing the Company's overall expense
levels, and (ii) it has retained the investment banking firm of SBC Warburg
Dillon Read to assist the Company in exploring a possible sale of the
Company's StarMed temporary staffing subsidiary. See Note 5.
 
  The financial statements, however, do not include any further adjustments
reflecting the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
3. UNUSUAL CHARGES
 
  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded $3,760,000 of unusual
charges consisting of (i) $313,000 for defense costs relating to shareholder
and employee lawsuits, (ii) $2,227,000 ($1,194,000 of which was a non-cash
charge related to the issuance of 350,000 common stock warrants) for penalties
associated with delays in the registration of the Company's Common Stock
issued in connection with acquisitions or issuable upon conversion of
convertible preferred stock, (iii) $883,000 for costs associated with the
investigation of related party transactions which was concluded in April 1998
and (iv) $337,000 for management termination benefits and related costs.
 
  The Company could incur a substantial additional amount of unusual charges
during the remainder of 1998 depending upon the outcome of current
negotiations regarding defaults under the Seior Notes and penalties associated
with the failure to register the Company's Common Stock as well as the outcome
of certain litigation.

  Accounts receivable is net of contractual allowances which represent
standard fee reductions negotiated with certain third party payors.
Contractual allowances amounted to approximately $28,850,000 and $8,462,000
for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
 
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  Through the Per Diem and Travel Nursing Divisions of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, StarMed Staffing, Inc. and Wesley Medical Resources Inc.
("StarMed"), the Company provides temporary healthcare staffing of registered
nurses and other medical personnel to acute and sub-acute care facilities
nationwide. On July 8, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to sell the StarMed business, in the form of a stock sale, to RehabCare Group,
Inc. for $33 million (the "StarMed Sale"). Closing of the StarMed Sale, which
is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and approval by the
Company's Senior Note lenders, is expected to occur in late July or in August
of this year. Due to the pending StarMed Sale, the results of operations of
StarMed are herein reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of
Operations as discontinued operations. The amounts in accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and related notes thereto, have been
restated to reflect StarMed as a discontinued operation.
 
  Net cash proceeds from the StarMed Sale at closing, before income taxes but
after estimated costs of sale and after the repayment of StarMed's outstanding
third-party debt, is expected to be approximately $19 million. Net of cash of
approximately $4 million at June 30, 1998 in the StarMed business (which will
be retained by RehabCare Group, Inc.), the StarMed Sale is expected to
increase the Company's consolidated cash balance at closing by approximately
$15 million. $2 million of the $33 million sales price will be placed in
escrow at closing to be available, for a specified period of time, to offset
indemnification obligations that may be incurred by the Company; subject to
actual claims experience, part or all of this amount will be payable to the
Company over time. For accounting purposes, a pretax gain from the StarMed
Sale of approximately $5 million is expected to be reported in the third
quarter of 1998.

1998 and December 31, 1997 (in thousands):

  In June 1998, an individual filed a complaint against the Company, StarMed,
Wesley Medical Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Wesley"), and
certain officers and directors of the Company in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint, among other
things, alleges that the defendants omitted and/or misrepresented material
information in the Company's public filings and that they concealed or failed
to disclose adverse material information about the Company in connection with
the sale of Wesley to the Company by the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks
damages in the amount of $4.25 million or, alternatively, recession of the
sale of Wesley. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the
claims asserted by plaintiff, and intends to defend itself vigorously. In July
1998, the Company and the named defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
plaintiff's complaint on numerous grounds. The legal proceeding described
above is in its preliminary stages. Although the Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to all claims against it, the Company is unable to
predict with any certainty the ultimate outcome of such proceeding.
 
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Between November 1997 and January 1998, several lawsuits were commenced
against the Company, certain of the Company's Directors and certain officers
concerning the related party transactions investigated by the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors ("Special Committee"). The complaints in
each action assert that the Company and the named defendants violated Section
10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging that the
Company omitted and/or misrepresented material information in its public
filings, including that the Company failed to disclose that it had entered
into acquisitions that were not in the best interest of the Company, that it
had paid unreasonable and unearned acquisition and financial advisory fees to
related parties, and that it concealed or failed to disclose adverse material
information about the Company. Each action seeks unspecified compensatory
damages, with interest, and the costs and expenses incurred in bringing the
action. On February 9, 1998, the above-mentioned class actions were
consolidated for all purposes in federal district court in New Jersey. On
March 31, 1998, the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated class actions served
their Consolidated Class Action Complaint, asserting that the Company and the
named defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and that certain
named defendants violated Sections 20(a) and 20A of the Exchange Act. The
Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  The Special Committee issued the results of its investigation and certain
recommendations in a report to the Company's Board of Directors and on April
6, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors voted to adopt the recommendations
contained in the report. Accordingly, the Special Committee recommended and
712 Advisory Services, Inc., a financial advisory firm and affiliate of the
Company's Chairman of the Board (the "Affiliate"),

                            MEDICAL RESOURCES, INC.
 
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $1,424,000 in fees for
transactions completed after June 1, 1997, to reimburse $112,500 of the
retainer paid to the Affiliate for 1997, to waive payment of an additional
$112,500 of fees accrued by the Company for the third and fourth quarters of
1997, and to pay a substantial amount of the expenses associated with the
Special Committee's investigations. All such amounts have been paid or
reimbursed to the Company. In addition, the Special Committee recommended and
the Affiliate agreed to allow the Company to terminate its relationship with
the Affiliate.
 
  The Special Committee reported to the directors that it had determined that:
(i) there was no evidence of any federal or state crimes or securities law
violations in connection with the related party transactions in question; (ii)
all related-party matters were disclosed in public filings; (iii) the
Affiliate performed acquisition advisory services fully consistent with the
expectations and understanding of the committee of outside directors that had
approved the Affiliate's acquisition fees; and (iv) the acquisition advisory
fees paid to the Affiliate in connection with the Company's acquisitions in
1997 were within the range of customary acquisition advisory fees paid to
investment bankers on transactions of similar size.
 
  As previously announced by the Company, the U.S. Attorney for the District
of New Jersey commenced an investigation in connection with the disclosures
regarding the related party transactions referred to above. In addition, the
Company has also received an inquiry from the SEC, but there have been no
formal proceedings commenced by the SEC. The Company has cooperated fully with
these authorities and provided all information requested by them.
 
  On November 7, 1997, the Company accepted the resignations of William D.
Farrell, as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and as
Director, and Gary I. Fields, as Senior Vice President and General Counsel. On
the same date, Messrs. Farrell and Fields filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the Company and the
members of the Company's Board of Directors, claiming retaliatory discharge
under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act and breach of
contract. On December 17, 1997, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add
a claim for violation of public policy. The plaintiffs allege that they were
constructively terminated as a result of their objection to certain related-
party transactions, the purported failure of the defendants to adequately
disclose the circumstances surrounding such transactions, and the Company's
public issuance of alleged false and misleading accounts concerning or
relating to such related-party transactions. The plaintiffs seek unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs and reinstatement of the
plaintiffs to their positions with the Company. On April 8, 1998, the Company
filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint, and asserted a counterclaim against
Messrs. Farrell and Fields for breach of fiduciary duties. The Company intends
to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  On November 8, 1997, the Company removed John P. O'Malley III, the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, for failure to fulfill certain of his functions as
Chief Financial Officer. Mr. O'Malley has filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, against the Company and
members of the Board of Directors, as defendants, claiming retaliatory
discharge under the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act and
defamation. Mr. O'Malley alleges that the Company terminated his employment in
retaliation for voicing the concerns of shareholders and senior management
regarding related-party transactions and because the Company did not want to
make full and adequate disclosure of the facts and circumstances surrounding
such transactions. In addition, Mr. O'Malley alleges that the Company
published false and defamatory statements about him. Mr. O'Malley seeks
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest and costs of bringing
the action. On April 8, 1998, the Company filed its Answer to the Complaint,
and asserted a counterclaim against Mr. O'Malley for breach of fiduciary
duties. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the allegations.
 
  The legal proceedings described above are in their preliminary stages.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to all claims
against it, the Company is unable to predict with any certainty the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings.

      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and
litigation other than those set forth above. Management believes that such
other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
  In connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions in which the
Company issued shares of its Common Stock as partial consideration, the
Company granted rights to have such shares registered for resale pursuant to
the federal securities laws. In certain of such acquisitions, the Company has
granted specific remedies to the sellers in the event that the registration
statement covering the relevant shares is not declared effective by the SEC
within an agreed-upon period of time, including the right to require the
Company to repurchase the shares issued to such seller. In the event the
Company is unable to register such shares by the required dates, the Company
would become obligated to repurchase the shares issued in connection with such
acquisition. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had reflected $7,187,000 of
Common Stock subject to redemption on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related
to shares that the Company may be required to repurchase. During the first
quarter of 1998, the Company paid $2,547,000 to sellers who exercised their
rights to have shares of Common Stock repurchased. Furthermore, from April 1,
1998 through May 26, 1998, the Company paid an additional $728,000 to such
sellers. In addition, the Company expects to pay an additional $5,763,000
during the remainder of 1998 ($3,695,000 of which was due and payable on June
3, 1998 (the "June 1998 Repurchase Obligation") but has not yet been paid by
the Company) in connection with the settlement of certain repurchase
obligations of the Company subject, under certain circumstances, to the
consent of the Senior Note holders. With respect to the June 1998 Repurchase
Obligation which remains due and payable, the Company is in discussions with
the sellers to whom such obligations are owed and the Senior Note holders
regarding the timing and satisfaction of the June 1998 Repurchase Obligation.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of such acquisitions, the Company
has agreed with the sellers in such acquisitions to pay (in additional shares
and/or cash) to the sellers an amount equal to the shortfall in the value of
the issued shares in the event the market value of such shares at the relevant
effective date of the registration statement or other negotiated date is less
than the market value of such shares as of the closing of the acquisition or,
in other cases, as of the execution of the relevant acquisition agreement
(referred to as "Price Protection"). Based upon the closing sales price of the
Company's Common Stock on May 26, 1998 ($3 1/16 per share), such shortfall
would be approximately $9,634,000, which amount may be reduced by up to
$5,977,000 to the extent certain sellers exercise their repurchase rights
referred to above.
 
  In addition, in connection with certain of the Company's acquisitions, the
Company has agreed with the relevant sellers that all or a portion of the
consideration for such acquisitions will be paid on a contingent basis based
upon the profitability, revenues or other financial criteria of the acquired
business during an agreed-upon measurement period following the closing of the
acquisition (usually, one to three years). The specific terms of such
contingent consideration differs for each acquisition. In connection with
certain acquisitions, the Company and the relevant sellers have agreed to a
maximum amount of contingent consideration, and in other cases, the parties
have agreed that any payment of such contingent consideration may be paid in
cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both.
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated July 21, 1997, and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
July 21, 1997, between the Company and RGC International, LDC ("RGC")
(hereinafter referred to as the "RGC Agreements"), the Company issued 18,000
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $1,000 stated value per share
(the "Series C Preferred Stock") to RGC. Under the RGC Agreements, the Company
was required to use its best efforts to include the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "RGC Conversion
Shares") in an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 not later than
October 1997. The RGC Agreements provide for monthly

penalties ("RGC Registration Penalties") in the event that the Company failed
to register the Conversion Shares prior to October 1997 with such penalties
continuing until such time as the Conversion Shares are registered as required
by the RGC Agreements.
 
  As a result of the Company's continued failure to register the RGC
Conversion Shares, the Company: (i) issued warrants to RGC to acquire
1,167,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise prices ranging from $11.62 to
$12.95 per share (such warrants having an estimated value, for accounting
purposes, of $3,245,000); (ii) issued interest bearing promissory notes, due
May 1, 1998 (the "RGC Penalty Notes"), in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,440,000; and (iii) is incurring additional penalties of $540,000 per month
(payable at the option of RGC in cash or additional shares of Common Stock).
On May 1, 1998, the Company did not pay RGC the $1,440,000 that was then due
and payable under the RGC Penalty Notes. Additionally, on May 1, 1998, as a
result of the Company's failure to register the Conversion Shares on or before
such date, RGC was entitled under the RGC Agreements to demand a one-time
penalty of $1,800,000 (the "May 1998 Penalty") payable, at the option of RGC,
in cash or additional shares of Common Stock. The Company has not received
notice of a demand for payment or other satisfaction of the RGC Penalty Notes
and the May 1998 Penalty, and the Company and RGC are currently in discussions
regarding the restructuring of the RGC Penalty Notes, the May 1998 Penalty and
the on-going monthly penalties. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be successful in restructuring such obligations on terms
favorable to the Company or its shareholders.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL")
empowers the Company to, and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
provides that it shall, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding by any reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful; except that, in the case of an action or suit by or in the right
of the Company, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue
or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides, pursuant to Section 145
of the DGCL, for indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents
of the Company and persons serving at the request of the Company in such
capacities within other business organizations against certain losses, costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of their position with the Company
or such other business organizations.
 
  Article Ninth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits a
director's liability in accordance with Section 102(b) of the DGCL.
Specifically, Article Ninth provides that no director of the Company shall be
liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. Article Ninth also provides that if the DGCL is further
amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of directors, the liability of a director of the Company
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
 
  In May 1997, the Company entered into an indemnification agreement (the
"Agreement" and collectively, the "Agreements") with each member of the
Company's Board of Directors (each, a "Member"). The Agreements provide that
each Member is indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In
connection with any litigation for which a Member is entitled to
indemnification, the Agreement provides that
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
the Member may request that the Company make advances of fees and expenses
prior to the final disposition of such action as long as the Member signs an
undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the
Member is not entitled to indemnification. If the Company does not pay in full
a claim for indemnification made by a Member, the Member may recover all
expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses) of bringing such action, as
well as the amount of such claim. In any event, the Company is still required
to make advance interim payments to the Member prior to the final disposition
of any such controversy. Pursuant to the Agreements, each Member shall have
the right to reasonably approve the legal counsel selected by the Company to
defend any action to which the Member is involved and, in certain cases, to
have separate counsel represent the Member at the Company's expense.

Consultants Corp., Grajo Imaging, Inc. and Advance Radiology--Imaging Services
of Trumbull, Inc. as partial consideration for the acquisition of six imaging
centers in Ohio.
 
  On November 3, 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares
of Common Stock to J. Alix & Associates in connection with engagement of such
company to provide interim management services to the Company.
 
  On December 29, 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 817,000 shares
of Common Stock to RGC International Investors, LDC in lieu of fees owing to
the holder of the Preferred Stock and for other consideration.
 
  On December 31, 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares
of Common Stock to DVI Financial Services, Inc. in connection with drawdown of
$8 million of a $15 million credit facility.
 
  In January 1998, the Company issued to RGC International, LDC ("RGC")
warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$12.95 per share in payment of certain monthly penalties payable to RGC as a
result of the failure by the Company to register the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held
by RGC.
 
  In February 1998, the Company issued to Robert Kupchak ("Kupchak") 25,624
shares of Common Stock. Kupchak had been the seller of a certain diagnostic
imaging center located in Hollywood, Florida in July 1997 and, at the closing
of such sale, received shares of Common Stock from the Company as partial
consideration for such center (the "Closing Shares"). The shares issued in
February 1998 were issued by the Company as a result of the election by
Kupchak of his right to have the Company pay the shortfall (approximately
$275,000) with respect to the market value of his Closing Shares as of
February 1, 1998 compared to the market value of his Closing Shares at the
time of the closing of the relevant acquisition.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKING.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
  1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
    (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
 
    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
  effective date of this Registration Statement (or most recent post-
  effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
  Registration Statement; and
 
    (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
  distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
  material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
  provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and
  (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
  post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
  reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
  the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that
  are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
 
  2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
 
  3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
 
  Insofar as indemnifications for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Medical Resources, Inc.
155 State Street
Hackensack, New Jersey 07601

Gentlemen:
 
     You have requested my opinion as counsel for Medical Resources, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the public offering by certain selling stockholders
(the "Selling Stockholders") of up to 16,127,332 shares of the Company's common
stock (the "Shares").
          
     I have examined the Company's Amendment No. 4 to Form S-3 on Form S-1
Registration Statement in the form to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about July 23, 1998 (the "Registration Statement"). I further
have examined the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as certified by
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the By-laws, the minute books
and other agreements of the Company as a basis for the opinion hereafter
expressed.

     Based on the foregoing examination, I am of the opinion that the shares
that are currently outstanding have been validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable, and other shares to be issued as contemplated in the Prospectus
forming a part of the Registration Statement will be, upon issuance by the
Company in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Shares will
be upon issuance validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,



                                        /s/ Christopher J. Joyce, Esq.

          5.1.  Conduct of the Business Pending the Closing.  Except as
                -------------------------------------------

properties, assets and business organizations, to keep available the services of

provided in this Agreement, Seller will not permit the Companies, prior to the
Closing, without the prior written consent of Buyer or Parent, to:

          (a)  issue, sell or pledge, or authorize or propose the issuance, sale
or pledge of (i) additional shares of capital stock of any class (including
Shares), or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares, or

securities or (ii) any other securities in respect of, in lieu of, or in

the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or
described in Seller Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to complete or
correct any information in Seller Disclosure Schedule or in any representation
or warranty of Seller which has been rendered inaccurate thereby.  No such
supplement or amendment shall be given effect for purposes of determining (a)
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, except as
explicitly set forth herein including as set forth in Article VII hereof and (b)
Buyer's right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.4(a) hereof, except as
specifically set forth in Section 8.4(e) hereof.

which case 

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
 
the party entitled to such indemnification shall be entitled to receive only the
amounts in excess of the Deductible Amount.

          (d)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum
aggregate liability of Seller to Buyer Indemnified Parties or of Buyer and
Parent to Seller Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.4 hereof shall not
exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

          (e)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the
Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification by Seller for any
Damages arising from any matter of which Buyer or Parent had knowledge at or
prior to Closing by reason of Seller having delivered written notice thereto,
either in a supplemented disclosure schedule or an officer's certificate, at or
prior to Closing, if the conditions to Buyer's or Parent's obligation set forth
in Article VII fail to be satisfied at Closing by reason of the matters
disclosed in such supplemented disclosure schedule or officer's certificate and
Buyer or Parent waives its right not to Close unless Seller made a knowing
misrepresentation with respect to such matter on the date of this Agreement.

          (f)  Any calculation of Damages for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall
be (i) net of any insurance recovery made by the Indemnified Party (whether paid
directly to such Indemnified Party or assigned by the Indemnifying Party to such
Indemnified Party) and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit
realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the deductibility of any such
Damages or Tax.  Any indemnification payment hereunder shall initially be made
without regard to this paragraph and shall be reduced to reflect any such net
Tax benefit only after the Indemnified Party has actually realized such benefit.
For purposes of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have
"actually realized" a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as,
the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party is reduced below the
amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Party would have been required to pay but
for deductibility of such Damages.  The amount of any reduction hereunder shall
be adjusted to reflect any final determination (which shall include the
execution of Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Indemnified
Party's liability for Taxes and, if necessary, either Seller or Buyer or Parent,
as the case may be, shall make payments to the other to reflect such adjustment.
Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to
the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall
include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the
Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates causes any such payment not to be
treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for U.S. Federal income Tax
purposes.

          (g)  No action, claim or setoff for Damages subject to indemnification
under this Section 8.4 shall be brought or made:

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
 
          (i)  with respect to claims for Damages resulting from a breach of any
covenant contained in this Agreement, or in any instrument of transfer or
assumption related hereto, after the date on which such covenant or instrument
shall terminate pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof; and

          (ii) with respect to claims for Damages resulting from a breach of
any representation or warranty, after the date on which such representation or
warranty shall terminate pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof;

provided, however, that any claim notified in writing with reasonable
- - --------  -------                                                    
specificity by the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") to
the party from which indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") within
the time periods set forth above shall survive (and be subject to
indemnification) until it is finally and fully resolved.

          (h)  Upon receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any action,
suit, proceedings, claim, demand or assessment against such Indemnified Party
which might give rise to a claim for Damages, the Indemnified Party shall give
written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party indicating the nature of such
claim and the basis therefor; provided, however, that failure to give such
notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the
extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of
such failure.  A claim to indemnity hereunder may, at the option of the
Indemnified Party, be asserted as soon as Damages have been threatened by a
third party orally or in writing, regardless of whether actual harm has been
suffered or out-of-pocket expenses incurred, provided the Indemnified Party
shall reasonably determine that it may be liable or otherwise incur such
Damages.  However, payments for Damages for third party claims shall not be
required except to the extent that the Indemnified Party has expended out-of-
pocket sums.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to
assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such
matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnified Party as to which the
Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged its obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party.  If any Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or
defend any such asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified
Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate
fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or
defense against, any such asserted liability; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such asserted liability without the
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld); provided, further, however that the immediately preceding clause
shall not apply in the case of relief consisting solely of money damages at
least 80% of which shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party after taking into
account any limitation thereon.  Notwithstanding an election to assume the
defense of such action or proceeding, such 

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
 
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying
Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate
counsel (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if (A)
the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a
reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding, or
(B) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize such Indemnified Party to employ
separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense. In any event, the
Indemnified Party and its counsel shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party
and its counsel and shall not assert any position in any proceeding inconsistent
with that asserted by the Indemnifying Party. All costs and expenses incurred in
connection with an Indemnified Party's cooperation shall be borne by the
Indemnifying Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at
its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability.

          8.5.  Tax Matters.  (a)  Seller shall prepare and file all Tax
                -----------                                                  
Returns with the appropriate federal, state, local and foreign governmental
agencies relating to the Companies for periods ending on or before the Closing
Date and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns.  Buyer shall
prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to
be filed by the Companies covering a Tax year commencing prior to the Closing
Date and ending after the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period") and shall cause the
Companies to pay the Taxes shown to be due thereon.  Seller will furnish to
Buyer all information and records reasonably requested by Buyer for use in
preparation of any Tax Returns relating to a Straddle Period.  Buyer shall allow
Seller to review, comment upon and reasonably approve without undue delay any
such Tax Returns at any time during the 45-day period immediately preceding the
filing of such Tax Return.  Buyer and Seller agree to cause the Companies to
file all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period on the basis that the relevant
taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the
relevant taxing authority will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis.

          (b)  Tax Cooperation.  Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall
               ---------------                                               
cause its respective Affiliates (including the Companies), officers, employees,
agents, auditors and Representatives reasonably to cooperate (including by
maintaining and making available to each other all relevant records), in
preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits
with respect to Taxes of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and for
any Straddle Period.

          (c)  Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.  (i)  If a
               ----------------------------------------------------            
claim shall be made by any Tax authority which, if successful, might result in
an indemnity payment to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or
(b) hereof, the Indemnified Parties shall notify the Indemnifying Parties

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
 
promptly of such claim (a "Tax Claim"); provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except
to the extent the Indemnifying Parties have actually been prejudiced as a result
of such failure.

          (ii)  (A) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period
ending on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right, at its own
expense, to control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in
connection with such Tax Claim; provided that Buyer, and counsel of its own
choosing, shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate fully in all
aspects of the prosecution or defense of such Tax Claim; and provided further
that Seller shall not settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided
further that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5(c)(ii)(A) to the
contrary, Seller shall have the exclusive right to make all decisions to grant
or deny any waiver or extension of the applicable statute of limitation.  Buyer
shall deliver its consent, or any objections, within 15 business days of receipt
of any settlement proposal.  Buyer and the Companies shall cooperate with Seller
in contesting any Tax Claim under this Section 8.5(c)(ii)(A), which cooperation
shall include the retention and, upon request of Seller, the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim and
making employees available to provide additional information or explanation of
any material provided hereunder. (B) Seller and Buyer shall jointly control all
proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to any Straddle Period.

          (iii)  The party bearing the liability or obligation to indemnify for
any Taxes described under Section 8.5 shall be entitled to any refunds or
credits of such Taxes.  Buyer shall cause the Companies to promptly forward to
Seller, or after Buyer's receipt reimburse Seller, for any refunds or credits
due Seller (pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5(c)(iii) and Seller shall
promptly forward to the Companies or after Seller's receipt reimburse the
Companies, for any refunds or credits due Buyer (pursuant to the terms of this
Section 8.5(c)(iii)).

          (d)  Tax Sharing Agreements.  Seller will cause any tax sharing
               ----------------------                                    
agreement or similar arrangement with respect to Taxes involving the Companies
to be terminated as of the Closing Date, to the extent any such agreement or
arrangement relates to the Companies.

          (e)  Transfer Taxes.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use,
               --------------                                         
registration and similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer or
gains Taxes and stock transfer Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties,
interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with the sale of the
Shares or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be shared be borne by Buyer, and Seller 

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
 
and Buyer shall cooperate in timely preparing and filing all Tax Returns as may
be required to comply with the provisions of such Tax laws.

          (f)  Coordination With Section 8.4.  In the event the provisions of
               -----------------------------                                 
this Section 8.5 and the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof conflict or otherwise
each apply by their terms, this Section 8.5 shall exclusively govern all matters
concerning Taxes; provided that paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 8.5
shall apply in any event.

                                  ARTICLE IX.
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

                -----------------                                             
parties hereto entitled to the benefits of the respective term or provision may
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts
of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing
delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any obligation,
covenant, agreement or condition contained herein.  Any agreement on the part of
any party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of the parties entitled to the benefits
of such extended or waived term or provision.

          9.3.  Representations and Warranties; Etc.   (a)  Each of Buyer
                -----------------------------------                          
and Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not making any
representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, including, without
limitation, in respect of the Companies or their respective assets, liabilities
and businesses, except those representations and warranties of Seller explicitly
set forth in this Agreement or in the Seller Disclosure Schedule or in any
certificate contemplated hereby and delivered by Seller in connection herewith.

          (b)  Except as set forth in the indemnification provisions of Section
8.4 hereof, Buyer, Parent and Seller agree that on and after the Closing Date
neither Seller, nor any of the respective officers, directors, partners,
employees, Affiliates, Representatives or agents, as the case may be, of Seller
(collectively, the "Selling Group"), shall have any liability or responsibility
to any Person, including, without limitation, Buyer, Parent or the Companies,
for (and each of them unconditionally releases the Selling Group from) any
liability or obligation of, or arising out of, or relating to, the Companies,

                                      -33-

Parent or Buyer of whatever kind or nature, whether contingent or absolute,
whether arising prior to, on or after, and whether determined or indeterminable
on, the Closing Date, and whether or not specifically referred to in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, liabilities and obligations (i)
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii)
arising out of or due to any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the

                ----------------------------                          
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject
matter hereof (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) and (b) shall not be
assigned by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that Buyer may
assign its rights and obligations to any wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer
(unless to do so would restrict or delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement), but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of
its obligations hereunder.

          9.5.  Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
                --------

of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no
adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine,
and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

          9.9.  Publicity.  Except as otherwise required by law, for so
                ---------                                                   
long as this Agreement is in effect, none of Seller, Buyer, Parent or the
Companies shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other
public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the express prior written approval of the other parties.  Each
of Seller (on behalf of itself and the Companies), Buyer and Parent agree to
afford each other party a reasonable period of time to review and comment upon
any such press release or public announcement, subject at all times to any
requirement of law or rule or regulation of any stock exchange or automated
interdealer quotation system governing the timing of any such press release or
public announcement.

          9.10.  Arbitration  (a)  The parties hereto agree to submit any
                 -----------                                                   
dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to this
Agreement or the breach or alleged breach thereof (a "Dispute"), including any
Dispute relating to any claim for Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to
Section 8.4 hereof, to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions
set forth below.  Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall prohibit Buyer, Parent or
Seller from instituting litigation to enforce any Final Determination (as
defined below).  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as set
forth in this Section 9.10 or in the arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association as in effect from time to time, the arbitration
procedure and any Final Determination hereunder shall be governed by, and shall
be enforced pursuant to applicable New York law.

          (b)  In the event that either Buyer, Parent or Seller asserts that
there exists a Dispute, such party shall deliver a written notice to the other
party specifying the nature of the asserted Dispute and requesting a meeting to
attempt to resolve the same.  If no such resolution is reached within twenty
days after the delivery of such notice, the party delivering such notice of
Dispute may, within 45 days after delivery of such notice, commence arbitration
hereunder by delivering to each other party involved therein a notice of
arbitration (a "Notice of Arbitration").  Such Notice of Arbitration shall
specify the matters as to which arbitration is sought, the nature of any
Dispute, the claims of each party to the arbitration and shall specify the
amount and nature of any Damages, if any, sought to be recovered as a result of
any alleged claim, and any other matters required by the arbitration rules of
the American Arbitration Association in effect from time to time to be included
therein, if any.

          (c) Arbitration shall be conducted in the City of New York, New York
before a single arbitrator agreeable to both parties.  In the event that the
parties fail to agree on a designee within 20 days from the delivery of a Notice
of Arbitration, then the arbitration shall proceed in the same 

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
 
location before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration
Association at the request of either party thereto.

          (d)  The costs and expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by
each party.

          (e) The arbitrator shall so conduct the arbitration that a final
result, determination, finding, judgment and/or award (the "Final
Determination") is made or rendered as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than 90 days after the delivery of the Notice of Arbitration nor later
than 10 days following completion of the arbitration.

          (f)  The Buyer and the Seller may enforce any Final Determination in
any state or federal court located in New York, New York.  For the purpose of
any action or proceeding instituted with respect to any Final Determination,
each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts,
irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail or personal
service and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any objection which it may have or hereafter have as to personal jurisdiction,
the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such
court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

          9.11.  Descriptive Headings.  The descriptive headings herein
                 --------------------                                        
are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part
of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          9.12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or
                 ------------                                                 
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          9.13.  Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated
                 --------                                                     
by this Agreement are consummated, and except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring
such expenses.
