1. GENERAL

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance
sheets and statements of operations and cash flows contain all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of Fischer Imaging Corporation (the "Company") at March 31,
1996, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
April 2, 1995 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
April 2, 1995.

The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


2. INVENTORIES

overhead. Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (using primarily the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of valuation) or market. Writedowns for
excess or obsolete inventories are charged to expense in the period in which
conditions giving rise to the writedowns are first recognized.

Inventories consisted of the following components (in thousands):

The Company currently has a $15.0 million working capital line of credit
secured by accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The line of credit
expires on February 1, 1997. Borrowings under the line of credit are subject to
borrowing base restrictions which, as of March 31, 1996, amounted to
approximately $ 15.0 million. See "Management's Discussion & Analysis -
Liquidity and Capital Resources" for an additional discussion of the Company's
line of credit.


5. ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company issued 1,333,333 shares of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for $10 million. The preferred stock is
non-voting and not redeemable, bears no stated dividend, has a $7.50 per share
preference upon liquidation and is convertible into common stock on a
one-for-one basis (subject to customary anti- dilution protection) at the
option of the holder.


6. NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Net earnings (loss) per share is computed based on results of operations
attributable to common stock and the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during each of the periods. The preferred
shares issued during the second quarter of 1995 (see Note 5) are treated as
common stock equivalents in the calculation of earnings per share. The Company
uses the treasury stock method for determining the effect of outstanding stock
options on earnings per share.

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings by the weighted
average of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each of the
periods.

7. FISCHER MIDWEST ACQUISITION

During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company reached an agreement in
principle for the acquisition of the 45% minority interest of Fischer Imaging
Midwest, Inc. in exchange for 63,162 shares of the Company's stock. The Company
accounted for this transaction, which closed in February 1996, as a purchase,
acquiring net assets with a net book value of approximately $331,000 and
recording goodwill of approximately $221,000. As part of the acquisition
agreement, the purchase price may be adjusted based on subsequent realization
of certain working capital assets as of June 1, 1996. The Company placed 10,000
of the shares of Company stock in escrow, pending the outcome of this potential
purchase price adjustment.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1995
 
     Net Revenues. First quarter 1996 net revenues were $20,073,000, an increase
of 20.7% from first quarter 1995 revenues of $16,625,000. Revenue growth for the
first quarter of 1996 reflects expanded OEM revenues, principally Tilt-C systems
sold to GE Medical Systems, improved sales of mammography and general
radiography products, principally through the Company's direct sales channel,
and service revenue improvements. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company
experienced a decline in revenues from international direct and dealer channels
compared to the first quarter of 1995 due primarily to a large system sale that
occurred in the first quarter of 1995. The Company does not believe the reduced
international revenues in the first quarter of 1996 is indicative of
international revenues for the entire year.
 
     Gross Profit. For the first quarter of 1996, gross profit expressed as a
percentage of net revenues was 42.3%, up from 35.7% for the first quarter of
1995, principally due to reductions in manufacturing costs as well as higher
absorption of manufacturing costs associated with increased volumes. Gross
margins also benefited from increases in high margin service revenues.
 
     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for
the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 were $1,464,000 and $1,665,000 respectively,
a $201,000, or 12.1%, decrease. As a percentage of net revenues, research and
development expenses decreased to 7.3% for the first quarter of 1996 from 10.0%
for the first quarter of 1995. The decrease is primarily attributable to
engineering efforts temporarily assigned to product enhancement and other
production activities during the first quarter of 1996. The Company anticipates
that these engineering efforts will be refocused on research and development
activities during the second quarter of 1996.
 
     Selling, Marketing and Service Expenses. Selling, marketing and service
expenses for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 were $4,358,000 and $3,299,000,
respectively, or 21.7% and 19.8% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in
selling, marketing and service expense as a percentage of net revenues reflects
increases in sales through the direct sales channel, for which the Company
incurred commission expenses, as compared to the comparable three months of
1995.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first quarter of 1996 were $1,131,000, or approximately the same as the
$1,141,000 for the first quarter of 1995. General and administrative expenses
declined as a percentage of net revenues from 6.9% to 5.6%, due primarily to an
increased level of net revenues.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995
was $220,000 and $255,000, respectively. The decrease from 1995 to 1996 is
principally due to reductions in the outstanding borrowings under the Company's
revolving line of credit and other borrowing arrangements.
 
     Net Earnings (Loss). For the first quarter of 1996, the Company reported
net earnings of $1,073,000 compared with a net loss of $469,000 for the first
quarter of 1995. Earnings for the first quarter of 1996 were favorably impacted
by the results of ongoing cost reduction efforts and by increased OEM revenues
and sales of mammography products, principally through the direct sales channel,
as compared to the first quarter of 1995.

INCOME TAXES

     Based upon anticipated earnings for the year, an anticipated reduction in
the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and a review of other factors
giving rise to differences between statutory and effective income tax rates, the
Company has estimated its effective tax rate for the year ended December 31,
1996 to be approximately 25.0% and, accordingly, has provided income taxes in
the first quarter of 1996 of $350,000, against its first quarter earnings before
taxes of $1.4 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $1.5
million compared to $0.4 million provided from operations in the same period in
1995. The increase in cash used in operations principally reflects higher
investment in inventories and reductions in customer deposits and accounts
payable, partially offset by $1.6 million of net earnings before depreciation
and amortization, as well as improved accounts receivable collection activities
which have reduced accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 1996 as
compared to April 2, 1995.

The Company plans to fund its planned capital expenditures, working capital
needs and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future through its
operating cash flows and available lines of credit. The Company may also seek
additional debt or equity financing in 1996 to the extent it believes
beneficial or necessary.

     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had $0.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents and working capital of $25.2 million. The Company has in place a
$15.0 million working capital line of credit, which expires February 1, 1997 and
is secured by accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The maximum
amount available under this line of credit is subject to borrowing base
restrictions which are a function of defined balances in accounts receivable,
inventory and fixed assets. As of March 31, 1996, borrowing availability under
this line of credit was approximately $11.0 million beyond actual borrowings as
of that date of $4.0 million. The Company believes its current level of 
profitability, available borrowing capacity, and potential equity financing
currently being pursued will be sufficient to fund foreseeable working 
capital and capital expenditure needs.
