PART I   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the quarter ending September 30, 1995, to the quarter ending
September 30, 1994

         Net patient service revenue(1) increased $13,787,100, or 75.4%,
primarily due to an increase in net revenue at imaging centers that were in
operation for both the 1995 and 1994 periods ("same center revenue") of
$685,200, or 4.0%, and the Company's acquisition of 15 imaging centers from
MedAlliance, Inc. ("the MedAlliance clinic acquisition").  The disposition of
the Company's Philadelphia Magnetic Imaging facility as of December 31, 1994,
and Central Pennsylvania Magnetic Imaging facility as of July 31, 1995, reduced
net patient service revenue by approximately $722,100.  Health Images signed a
management agreement with the purchasers of Central Pennsylvania Magnetic
Imaging under which the Company provides management services under a fee
arrangement based upon collections of the facility.  These revenues are
included in miscellaneous income on the Company's financial statements and are
contractually limited to a maximum of $750,000 per year.

         Engineering revenue decreased $414,500, or 42.5%, due to decreases of
$259,100 in service revenue and $155,400 in upgrade revenue. Other revenue and
income increased $4,100, or 3.2%.

         Operating costs increased by $9,469,700, or 66.9%, primarily due to
expenses associated with the 15 imaging centers acquired from MedAlliance,
partly offset by the elimination of costs associated with the former
Philadelphia Magnetic Imaging and Central Pennsylvania Magnetic Imaging
facilities and the Company's continued cost control efforts.  Operating costs
as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 72.1% from 73.0% primarily due to
the improvement in same center performance and increased operating efficiency
at the clinics acquired in the MedAlliance transaction.  The Company's
provision for bad debts was $1,310,000 or 4.1% of net patient services revenue
in the 1995 period as compared to $752,400, or 4.1%, in 1994.  Provision for
bad debts results from required write-offs of accounts receivable balances that
management deems to be uncollectible.  Management expects future bad debt
experience to be comparable to these results.  General and Administrative
expenses increased $1,475,800, or 82.4%, primarily due to goodwill amortization
of approximately $325,000 related to the MedAlliance acquisition, and
additional expenses related to the Company's increased volume of

and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for competitive reasons.

business.  General and Administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue
was 10.0% in the 1995 period as compared to 9.2% in 1994.

         Interest income decreased by $50,000, or 62.3%, due to lower cash
balances.  Interest expense increased by $838,900, or 294.7%, due to higher
amounts of debt outstanding resulting from the MedAlliance clinic acquisition.
Minority interest in income of consolidated entities increased by $222,800, or
449.2%, primarily due to minority interests assumed in the MedAlliance center
acquisition.  Income taxes increased by $261,100, or 26.4%, primarily due to
higher pretax income.

         Net income from continuing operations increased $500,800, or 34.6%, to
$1,946,500 in the 1995 period from $1,445,700 in 1994.  Primary and fully
diluted earnings from continuing operations increased $.05 per share, or 41.7%,
to $0.17 in the 1995 period as compared to $0.12 in 1994.  Earnings per share
were calculated using 11,540,900 primary and 11,579,800 fully diluted weighted
average common share equivalents for the 1995 period as compared to 11,953,800
primary and 12,017,100 fully diluted weighted average common share equivalents
in the prior year period.

         During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company elected to
discontinue the operations of a subsidiary, Interactive Diagnostic Services,
Inc., and the financial results of such subsidiary are treated as Discontinued
Operations.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the loss from
operations, net of income taxes, of the subsidiary decreased by $852,700, or
99.9%, to $1,100 in the 1995 period as compared to $853,800 in the 1994 period.
After giving effect to these losses from Discontinued Operations, the Company
reported net income of $1,945,400 or $0.17 per share in the 1995 period, an
increase of $1,353,500, or 228.7%, as compared to $591,900 or $0.05 per share
in the prior year period.

         The Company acquired 15 imaging centers from MedAlliance, Inc. as of
April 1, 1995.  Net of interest costs, this transaction was additive to
earnings during the period under review.  Management expects the overall effect
of the acquisition will be positive to earnings.  The extent of the earnings
increase, if any, deriving from the MedAlliance center acquisition will
ultimately depend on the Company's ability to reduce certain overhead
associated with the acquired imaging centers, the Company's ability to obtain
greater economies of scale, and the Company's ability to reduce the debt and
corresponding interest expenses associated with the MedAlliance center
acquisition.  During the quarter ending September 30, 1995, the Company
generated such economies of scale and successfully implemented cost control
measures, increasing the Company's profitability.  In addition, the Company
repaid $3,912,700 of debt associated with the MedAlliance center acquisition.
These initial successes indicate that the basic strategy of the acquisition is
working. Long term, however, the diagnostic imaging business remains intensely
competitive.  The continued growth of private managed care plans places
downward pressure on imaging reimbursements and has resulted in increased
scrutiny of the appropriateness of referrals for major diagnostic imaging
procedures such as the MRI and CT services which are the Company's





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

principal sources of revenue.  Additionally, while the Company's vertical
integration results in generally lower operating costs as compared to its
competitors, declining reimbursements adversely affect the Company's operating
margins and profitability.  Management believes, however, that the Company is
relatively better positioned than many of its competitors who rely on physician
self-referral to deal with threats to unit volumes deriving from increased
scrutiny of inappropriate utilization, and from certain legislation at both the
national and state levels which bars physician self-referral.  Conversely, the
Company may be at a competitive disadvantage to hospitals and hospital systems
which can offer a comprehensive range of health care services to managed care
plans.

INFLATION

         The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company has, to
date, been primarily limited to salary increases and has not been material to
the Company's operation.  In the event of increased inflation, management
believes that the Company may not be able to raise the prices for its goods and
services by an amount sufficient to offset cost inflation.

         Growing health care costs are a national concern.  Management believes
that this concern will most likely lead to reduced reimbursements for the
Company's health care services even in an otherwise inflationary environment.
The Company has historically responded to this threat to its margins by
lowering its capital costs and by increasing the volume of its business.

Comparison of the nine months ending September 30, 1995, to the nine months
ending September 30, 1994

         Net patient service revenue(2) increased $25,914,500, or 47.4%,
primarily due to the Company's acquisition of 15 imaging centers from
MedAlliance, Inc.  Net revenue at imaging centers that were in operation for
both the 1995 and 1994 periods ("same center revenue") increased by $365,700,
or 0.7%.  The increase in same center revenue was primarily due to an increase
of 1.5% in same center MRI studies offset by a .9% decline in average
reimbursement per MRI study and a decrease in revenue from the Company's
radiation oncology center.  The disposition of the Company's Philadelphia
Magnetic Imaging facility as of December 31, 1994, and Central Pennsylvania
Magnetic Imaging facility as of July 31, 1995, reduced net patient service
revenue by approximately $1,459,400.

     (2) Net patient service revenue represents imaging revenue reduced by 
contractual adjustments related to discount arrangements with third party 
payers.  Such discount arrangements are customary in the health care industry 
and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for competitive reasons.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

         Engineering revenue decreased $542,500, or 20.2%, due to decreases of
$352,800, or 15.2%, in service revenue and $189,700, or 52.3%, in upgrade
revenue.

         Other revenue and income decreased by $94,300, or 13.8%, primarily due
to a foreign currency translation loss of $257,300 and a reduction in other
miscellaneous items, partially offset by a capital gain recognized on the sale
of an imaging center in Carrollton, Georgia, acquired as part of the
MedAlliance clinic acquisition.

         Operating costs increased by $18,278,800, or 42.5%, primarily due to
expenses associated with the 15 imaging centers acquired in the MedAlliance
clinic acquisition, partially offset by the elimination of costs associated
with the former Philadelphia Magnetic Imaging and Central Pennsylvania Magnetic
Imaging facilities and the Company's continuing cost control efforts.
Reflecting these items, operating costs as a percentage of net revenue
decreased to 73.6% in 1995 from 74.1% in 1994.  The Company's provision for bad
debts was $3,332,600, or 4.1%, of net patient service revenue in the 1995
period as compared to $2,115,100, or 3.9%, in 1994.  General and administrative
expenses increased $2,083,200, or 38.0%, primarily due to goodwill amortization
of approximately $650,000 related to the MedAlliance acquisition, and increased
expenses related to the Company's increased volume of business.  General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was 9.1% in 1995 as
compared to 9.4% in 1994.

         Interest income decreased by $99,200, or 49.5%, due to lower cash
balances.  Interest expense increased by $1,781,700, or 187.6%, due to higher
amounts of debt outstanding resulting from the MedAlliance clinic acquisition.
Minority interest in income of consolidated entities increased by $361,000, or
272.0%, primarily due to minority interests assumed in the MedAlliance center
acquisition.  Income taxes increased by $616,000, or 24.7%, due primarily to
higher pretax income.  The tax rate for the 1995 period was 38.8%, and
management expects the tax rate for the remainder of 1995 to be comparable.

         Net income from continuing operations increased $840,300, or 20.7%, to
$4,901,200 in the 1995 period from $4,060,900 in 1994.  Primary and fully
diluted earnings from continuing operations increased $0.07, or 20.0%, to $0.42
in the 1995 period as compared to $0.35 in 1994.  Earnings per share were
calculated using 11,587,100 primary and 11,657,300 fully diluted weighted
average common share equivalents in the 1995 period as compared to 11,679,900
primary and 11,769,400 fully diluted weighted average common share equivalents
in the prior year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the loss from Discontinued
Operations, net of income taxes, decreased by $787,100, or 65.3%, to $419,100
in the 1995 period as compared to $1,206,200 in the 1994 period.  In addition,
in the 1995 period, the Company recorded a loss on disposal





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

of the discontinued subsidiary of $744,000, net of income taxes.  After giving
effect to these losses from Discontinued Operations, the Company reported net
income of $3,738,100 or $0.32 per share in the 1995 period, an increase of
$883,400, or 30.9%, as compared to $2,854,700 or $0.24 per share in the prior
year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,958,300 for the nine
months ending September 30, 1995, an increase of $7,217,600, or 52.5%, from
$13,740,700 in the prior year period.  This increase is primarily due to an
increase in net income, and higher depreciation and amortization charges
(non-cash expenses) resulting from the MedAlliance acquisition.  Net trade
receivables increased by $9,136,500 to $26,790,600 primarily due to receivables
purchased as part of the MedAlliance center acquisition and an increase of
$1,366,300 due to operating activities.  As of September 30, 1995, the
Company's average age of patient receivables outstanding was 77 days as
compared to 81 days as of December 31, 1994, and 81 days as of September 30,
1994.  While management believes that this age of receivables is within
acceptable norms for outpatient health care providers, management will continue
to seek to reduce such receivable aging and associated balances by implementing
improved billing methodologies in 1995.  Some of the increase in patient days
outstanding is due to a change in the mix of the Company's patient referrals.
Recently, the Company has seen an increase in "legal patients" which typically
maintain open account balances until settlement of personal injury cases.
These legal patient account balances may be outstanding for more than 365 days
and, while generally collectible, cause an increase in average patient
receivable days outstanding.

         The Company reduced outstanding debt by $3,912,700 during the three
months ending September 30, 1995, to $59,413,800.  Cash and cash equivalents
increased by $721,700 for the three months ending September 30, 1995, to
$3,097,200.  As of March 31, 1995, the Company had an investment carried at
$11,254,400 in stated value of preferred stock of MedAlliance, Inc.  As part of
the MedAlliance center acquisition, the Company's entire investment in the
preferred stock was assigned back to MedAlliance in partial consideration for
the acquisition.

         The Company has a credit facility with its principal banks.  The
facility provides for a $30,000,000 term loan due over 6 years and a $5,000,000
revolving line of credit.  All borrowings under the facility are initially at
Prime less 25 basis points (8.50% as of September 30, 1995), decreasing to
Prime less 50 basis points under certain circumstances.  As of September 30,
1995, the Company had net borrowings of $27,888,200 under the term loan portion
of the facility and $0 under the line of credit.  The facility is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and contains certain covenants
which, under certain circumstances, could restrict the ability of the Company
to declare dividends or purchase treasury stock.  Under the most restrictive
covenant, the Company must maintain a tangible capital base, as defined





                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13

in the facility(3), of $40,000,000 plus 50% of net income from December 31, 
1994.  Accordingly, as of September 30, 1995, $962,500 of retained earnings was
available for payment of dividends and purchase of treasury stock.  As of
September 30, 1995, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as
provided in the credit facility.  The facility also requires that annual
capital expenditures in excess of $10,000,000 be approved by the banks.
Capital expenditures for 1995 may exceed this limit, and initial communications
between the Company and its banks indicate these additional capital
expenditures will be approved.  Management believes that additional sources of
credit are also available to the Company.

         In addition to borrowings under the facility, as part of the
MedAlliance center acquisition, the Company assumed capital lease obligations
and debt of $24,756,100.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of a certain
"Earnout Agreement" entered into between the Company and MedAlliance,
MedAlliance has claimed an amount due of $8,250,000 from the Company.  The
Company, based on information now available, has disputed this entire amount
and has asserted its own claim of approximately $5,000,000 against MedAlliance,
Inc.  The Company's claim relates to certain liabilities not agreed to be
assumed at closing.  The Company and MedAlliance have submitted these claims to
arbitration by the independent accounting firm of Arthur Andersen & Co.  The
Company expects that Arthur Andersen will deliver a decision by the end of
November 1995.  Under the terms of the Earnout Agreement, the Company can pay
any obligation that might arise out of such arbitration proceeding in either
cash or the delivery of a subordinated note bearing interest at 10% and
maturing in one year.  Management presently intends to pay this obligation, if
any such obligation exists, by delivery of a note to MedAlliance.

           Capital expenditures for the nine months ending September 30, 1995,
were $7,669,600 as compared to $4,394,300 in 1994.  Management expects capital
expenditures to approximate $11,500,000 in 1995, including capital expenditures
relating to the imaging centers acquired from MedAlliance.  The principal
capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995 will be purchases and
construction of imaging equipment, upgrades, and enhancements for the Company's
HI Standard(R) and HI STAR(TM) MRI systems, and the expansion and upgrading of
certain of the Company's existing imaging facilities.  The Company also engages
in research and development activities which are expensed as period costs when
incurred.  For the nine months ending September 30, 1995, such research and
development costs were $146,000 as compared to $649,100 in 1994.  These costs
are reflected in the operating costs on the Company's financial statements.
The decrease in the amount of research and development expense is due to the
maturation of the Company's HI STAR program, resulting in a transfer of efforts
to premanufacturing and assembly activities.  Management believes that research
and development costs

plus subordinated debt less all intangible assets.


                                      -13-

could increase in future periods as additional upgrades and enhancements are
developed.

         Management considers current cash and liquidity together with cash
flows from operating activities adequate to fund the Company's existing
business operation, including the capital expenditures listed above.

         At September 30, 1995, the Company had commitments of $3,336,900 on
equipment and construction contracts of which $3,097,800 had been paid.
