ITEM 1.  CHANGE OF CONTROL

As of December 23, 1998, stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common
stock outstanding of Triangle Imaging Group, Inc. (the "Company") voted in favor
of a new board of directors consisting of J. Alan Lindauer,  Charles Winslow and
Harold Fischer,  the Company's  President.  As a result,  Messrs. Vito Bellezza,
Peter  Bellezza and Franz Fideli are no longer members of the Board of Directors
and Mr.  Winslow is  serving as the  Company's  interim  Chairman  of the Board.
Following the election of the Company's directors,  Mr. Bellezza's suspension as
the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer was continued until the special counsel
has completed its investigation. See "Item 5 - Other Events" below.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On November 18, 1998,  the Board of Directors of the Company  convened a meeting
with  all  six  members  of  the  Board  attending.  Information  was  presented
concerning  certain  alleged  activities of Vito Bellezza,  the Company's  Chief
Executive  Officer  and  Chairman  of the  Board.  The  members  of the Board of
Directors adopted certain  resolutions which, among other things,  established a
Special  Committee  of the  Board to  investigate  certain  transactions  in the
Company's  common stock which may have involved Mr. Bellezza.  In addition,  Mr.
Bellezza agreed to take a two week vacation commencing  immediately during which
period of time the Special Committee (and special counsel engaged by the Special
Committee)  could  conduct a prompt and  thorough  investigation  of the alleged
transactions.

On December 1, 1998,  the Special  Committee  convened a meeting  with all three
members of the Committee in attendance.  The Committee  unanimously  resolved to
temporarily  suspend Mr. Bellezza as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board of the Company until such time that Mr. Bellezza provides testimony to the
Special  Committee  (and its counsel) and  provides the Special  Committee  with
certain requested documents.

On December 3, 1998,  the Special  Committee  convened a meeting  with all three
members of the Committee in attendance.  In response to Mr.  Bellezza's  refusal
(i) to acknowledge the authority of the Special  Committee,  and (ii) to respect
and honor the temporary  suspension of his duties of Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board,  the  Special  Committee  unanimously  resolved to engage
counsel to petition a court of competent  jurisdiction  to enforce the temporary
suspension of Mr. Bellezza.

On December 17, 1998,  certain  stockholders filed an Amended Complaint with the
Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida against he
Company,  Vito  Bellezza,  Judith  Bellezza,  Franz  Fideli  and Peter  Bellezza
asserting  a  stockholder  derivative  action  with  respect to the  allegations
involving  Mr.  Bellezza.  On  December  21,  1998,  the Court  entered an Order
requiring  that the parties  agreed to jointly  select a new special  counsel by
December 24, 1998 to investigate  the  allegations  involving Mr.  Bellezza.  To
date,  such counsel has not been selected and the Court has been asked to assign
new special  counsel.  A hearing has been scheduled for January 14, 1999 for the
appointment of a new special counsel.
