have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
and the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and  Rule  10-01  of  Regulation  S-X and,
therefore,  do not include all  information  and footnotes  necessary for a fair
presentation  of financial  position,  results of  operations  and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial
statements;  however,  in the  opinion of the  management  of the  Company,  all
adjustments  consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the

stock from PHS at a price of  $700,000.  The Company owns  approximately  19% of
VMI's  outstanding  capital stock as of January 31, 1999, which is accounted for
using the cost method at $-0-.

On April 30, 1992,  the Company  entered into a purchase  agreement  with Radnet
Management,  Inc. and certain  related  companies  ["Radnet"] for  approximately
$66,000,000.  The  statement of  operations  and cash flows for the three months
ended January 31, 1999 and 1998 include the operations and cash  transactions of
Radnet.

Effective  November 1, 1995,  the Company  acquired most of the assets of Future
Diagnostics,  Inc. by purchasing 100% of its outstanding stock for approximately
$3.2 million consisting of notes and assumed liabilities. Effective September 3,
1997, 100% of the outstanding  capital stock of FDI was sold to Preferred Health
Management, Inc. ["PHM"] for $13,500,000 in cash, notes and assumed liabilities.
The Company continues to operate Radnet Managed Imaging Services,  Inc. ["RMIS"]
which provides  utilization  review  services.  The statements of operations and
cash flows for the three  months  ended  January 31,  1999 and 1998  reflect the
overhead costs and cash transactions of RMIS.  Effective January 1, 1999, RMIS's
operations were consolidated with Radnet Management, Inc..

On March 25, 1996, the Company purchased 3,478,261 shares, or approximately 31%,
of Diagnostic  Imaging  Services,  Inc.  ["DIS"] for  $4,000,000  and acquired a
five-year  warrant to purchase an  additional  1,521,739  shares of DIS stock at
$1.60 per share.  The $4 million  was  borrowed  by the  Company  from a primary
lending source. During the four-month period ended July 31, 1996, the investment
yielded a loss to the Company of $313,649. Effective August 1, 1996, the Company
issued a five-year  promissory  note for  $3,272,046  and five-year  warrants to
purchase  4,129,630  shares of PHS common stock at $.60 per share, to acquire an
additional  3,228,046  shares of DIS common  stock.  The  purchase  made PHS the
primary shareholder in DIS with approximately 59% ownership.

In  subsequent  purchases  through  June  11,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  an
additional  3,472,137  shares of DIS stock from  various  related and  unrelated
parties for  approximately  $4,180,000 in cash and notes payable  increasing its
ownership in DIS to  approximately  90%. The  statements of operations  and cash
flows  for the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1999  and 1998  reflect  the
operations and cash transactions with DIS.

Forward-Looking Information

The  forward-looking  statements  herein are based on current  expectations that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are
based on assumptions that the Company will have adequate financial  resources to
fund the  development  and  operation  of its  business,  and  there  will be no
material adverse change in the Company's  operations or business.  The foregoing
assumptions  are  based  on  judgment  with  respect  to,  among  other  things,
information  available to the Company,  future economic,  competitive and market
conditions  and  future  business  decisions,  all of  which  are  difficult  or
impossible  to predict  accurately  and many of which are  beyond the  Company's
control.  Accordingly,  although  the  Company  believes  that  the  assumptions
underlying the  forward-looking  statements are reasonable,  any such assumption
could prove to be inaccurate  and therefore  there can be no assurance  that the
results contemplated in forward-looking  statements will be realized.  There are
number of other risks presented by the Company's  business and operations  which
could cause the  Company's  financial  performance  to vary  markedly from prior
results or results  contemplated by the forward-looking  statements.  Management
decisions,  including  budgeting,  are  subjective in many respects and periodic
revisions must be made to reflect actual  conditions and business  developments,
the impact of which may cause the  Company to alter its capital  investment  and
other  expenditures,  which may also adversely  affect the Company's  results of
operations.  In light of significant  uncertainties  inherent in forward-looking
information  included in this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q,  the inclusion of
such information  should not be regarded as a  representation  by the Company or
any other person that the Company's objectives or plans will be achieved.

The following discussion relates to the continuing activities of Primedex Health
Systems, Inc..

Results of Operations

The discussion of the results of continuing  operations  includes  Radnet,  PHS,
RMIS and DIS for the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998.

During the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company had losses
from operations of approximately $1,230,000 and $508,000, respectively.

During the three months ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company  realized
net revenues of approximately $16,000,000 and $14,265,000,  respectively [net of
elimination entries].

During the three months  ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  Radnet  realized net
revenues of approximately $13,100,000 and $11,795,000, respectively. The primary
reasons for the  increase in net revenues was due to the addition of new centers
[Redondo  Imaging and Loma Vista] and the addition of new  equipment or enhanced
equipment at various sites  [including,  but not limited to, new MRI's at Tower,
Stockton and Oxnard].  During the three months ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,
DIS  realized  net  revenues  of   approximately   $2,900,000  and   $2,400,000,
respectively.  Overall net revenues increased for the majority of the active DIS
sites by  approximately  18% during the three  months  ended  January 31,  1999.
During the three months  ended  January 31,  1998,  DIS  recorded a  contractual
adjustment of approximately  $225,000 on the historical accounts receivable from
its previously closed or sold sites and sold Scripps Chula Vista which generated
net revenue of  approximately  $174,000 for the three  months ended  January 31,
1998. During the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, PHS generated net
billing revenue of $-0- and $70,000, respectively,  from DHS. As of August 1998,
PHS no longer supplied billing services to DHS.

During the three months ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company  incurred
operating  expenses of approximately  $17,228,000 and $14,773,000,  respectively
[net of elimination entries].

Results of Operations [Continued]

For the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1999 and 1998,  Radnet's  operating
expenses were  approximately  $13,255,000 and $10,968,000,  respectively,  DIS's
operating expenses were approximately  $3,402,000 and $3,055,000,  respectively,
RMIS's operating expenses were approximately $40,000 and $84,000,  respectively,
and  PHS's  operating  expenses  were   approximately   $531,000  and  $666,000,
respectively.  In addition to variable  increases in  operating  expenses due to
higher  revenues  as well  as  expenses  for new  facilities,  Radnet  also  had
increases in expenditures  for repairs and maintenance,  rent,  equipment rental
and outside  services  during the three months ended January 31, 1999.  With the
consolidation  of a portion of Tower's  operation at its new Wilshire  site, the
Company  incurred  double   expenditures  for  rent  and  related  expenses  and
additional  personnel  while it made the  transition and closed its operation at
444 San  Vincente.  In  addition,  with the  improvements  and  addition  of new
equipment,  one-time equipment rent expense was incurred while the old equipment
was removed and new  equipment  was  installed  at certain  sites.  In addition,
certain sites,  like Woodward Park,  incurred  heavier than average  repairs and
maintenance  expense on its equipment  during the three months ended January 31,
1999. The primary  reason for DIS's  operating  expense  increase was due to the
write-down of goodwill  recorded in the acquisition of additional  shares of DIS
stock for approximately $479,000 in December 1998.

During the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's operating
expenses consisted of approximately $7,088,000 and $6,400,000, respectively, for
salaries   and  reading   fees,   approximately   $1,568,000   and   $1,315,000,
respectively,  for building and equipment rentals,  approximately $5,488,000 and
$4,455,000,   respectively,   in  general   and   administrative   expenditures,
approximately  $1,876,000 and  $2,117,000,  respectively,  in  depreciation  and
amortization,  approximately $729,000 and $486,000, respectively, for provisions
for  bad  debt,  and  approximately   $479,000  and  $-0-  attributable  to  the
recognition  of an impairment  loss,  pursuant to FASB 121, for the writedown of
goodwill.

During the three months  ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  interest  income was
approximately  $22,000  and  $105,000,  respectively.  Interest  income for 1999
consisted   primarily  of  imputed   interest   income  on  related  party  note
receivables.  Interest income for 1998 consisted  primarily of imputed  interest
income on notes receivable due from PHM, DHS and related parties.

During the three months ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  interest  expense was
approximately $2,494,000 and $2,225,000, respectively.

During the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company  recognized
other income of approximately  $251,000 and $132,000,  respectively.  During the
three months ended January 31, 1999, the Company realized gains from the sale or
trade-in of equipment of  approximately  $222,000  included in net other income.
During the three months ended January 31, 1998, the Company realized a gain from
the sale of SCV to DHS of approximately $248,000 and an additional gain from the
sale of FDI to PHM [final post-closing adjustment] of approximately $88,000.

During  the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1999,   the  Company   realized
extraordinary gains of approximately  $339,000 for the repurchase and retirement
of subordinated bond debentures and approximately  $1,037,000 for the discounted
pre-payment  of Tower  Goodwill.  The Company  utilized its  additional  line of
credit  agreement  with DVI  Business  Credit  to  settle  the  majority  of its
obligation from the Tower acquisition ["Tower Goodwill"] for $3,500,000 cash and
an $800,000  note payable to be paid over 48 months  beginning  February 1, 1999
with interest at 8%. During the three months ended January 31, 1998, the Company
realized  an   extraordinary   gain  from  early   extinguishment   of  debt  of
approximately  $590,000 from the repurchase and retirement of subordinated  bond
debentures and the settlement of limited partner notes payable at a discount.

Results of Operations [Continued]

During the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  the
Accounting  Standards  Executive  Committee's  ["AcSEC"]  S.O.P.  regarding  the
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-up  Activities"  and the  expenditure  of these
costs as they are incurred. As a result of this decision,  the Company wrote-off
approximately  $780,000 of historical net  organizational  costs and capitalized
fees in January 1998.

During the three  months  ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company had net
losses of approximately $2,073,000 and $2,438,000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  increased  for the  three  months  ended  January  31,  1999  and  1998 by
approximately $36,000 and $336,000, respectively.

Cash generated from investing  activities for the three months ended January 31,
1999 was approximately  $92,000.  Cash utilized for investing activities for the
three months ended January 31, 1998 was approximately $1,280,000.  For the three
months ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company  acquired  additional  DIS
stock for approximately $50,000 and $488,000,  respectively,  purchased property
and equipment for approximately  $617,000 and $737,000,  respectively,  received
proceeds from the sale of equipment for $995,000 and $20,000,  respectively, and
loaned $55,000 and $75,000,  respectively,  to related parties. During the three
months ended January 31, 1999, the Company  acquired the assets of Buena Ventura
Medical Group, Inc. for $72,500 and purchased other assets for $108,750.

Cash generated from financing  activities for the three months ended January 31,
1999 and 1998 was approximately  $759,000 and $2,004,000,  respectively.  During
the three months  ended  January 31, 1999 and 1998,  the Company made  principal
payments on capital  leases and notes payable of  approximately  $2,083,000  and
$2,513,000,  respectively, received proceeds from borrowing under existing lines
of  credit  and  refinancing   arrangements  of  approximately   $3,259,000  and
$4,950,000,  respectively,  and  repurchased  subordinated  bond  debentures for
approximately  $337,000 and  $1,095,000,  respectively.  During the three months
ended  January  31,  1999,   the  Company   decreased  its  cash   overdraft  by
approximately  $70,000 and purchased common stock per an exercised stock put for
$10,000.  In  addition,  during the three months  ended  January 31,  1998,  the
Company received $75,000 from its SCV joint venture partner,  increased its cash
overdraft by approximately $581,000 and issued common stock for $5,750.

At January 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $25,119,387 as
compared to a working  capital  deficit of  $20,191,252  at October 31, 1998, an
increased deficit of $4,928,135. The deficit increase from year-end is primarily
attributable  to an  increase  in notes and  capital  leases  payable due to the
addition  of new  equipment  at  Tower  and  other  sites  as well as  increased
borrowings  from the Company's  existing lines of credit which are classified as
current liabilities on the Company's financial statements.

The Company's  working  capital needs are currently  provided under two lines of
credit. Under one line, due December 31, 2001, the Company may borrow the lesser
of 75% to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, $20,000,000 or the prior 120 days
cash collections.  Borrowings are repayable  together with interest at an annual
rate equal to the greater of (a) the bank's prime rate plus 2.5%, or (b) 8%. The
lender holds a first lien on substantially all of Radnet's assets, the President
and C.E.O.  of PHS has  personally  guaranteed  $6,000,000  of the loans and the
credit line is  collateralized  by a  $5,000,000  life  insurance  policy on the
President and C.E.O. of PHS. At January 31, 1999,  approximately  $9,237,000 was
outstanding under this line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources [Continued]

Under a second line of credit with DVI  Business  Credit,  due October 31, 2000,
the Company may borrow the lesser of 110% of the eligible accounts receivable or
$5,000,000.  The credit line is collateralized by approximately 80% of the Tower
division's  accounts  receivable.  Borrowings  under  this  line  are  repayable
together  with  interest at an annual  rate equal to the bank's  prime rate plus
1.0%. At January 31, 1999,  approximately  $3,081,000 was outstanding under this
line.

The  Company  entered  into an  additional  line of  credit  agreement  with DVI
Business  Credit,  due  October  31,  2000,  where the  Company may borrow up to
$3,500,000  to either  (a) pay off in full the  promissory  note  dated  10/1/94
issued to Tower  Radiology,  et. al., or (b) purchase,  on the open market,  the
subordinated  debentures of the Company at a price not to exceed 60% of the face
value of such debentures.  Borrowings under this line are repayable monthly,  at
the rate of 1.4% of the line balance,  including  principal and interest,  at an
annual  rate  equal to the  bank's  prime  rate  plus  1.0%.  This  line is also
collateralized by the Tower division's accounts receivable. At January 31, 1999,
approximately  $296,000 was  outstanding  under this line utilized to repurchase
bond  debentures at a discount.  On February 1, 1999,  the Company  utilized the
remainder  available  under  this line to settle a  portion  of its  outstanding
obligation with Tower at a discount.

The Company's future payments for debt and equipment under capital lease for the
next five  years,  assuming  lines of credit  are paid in the first year and not
renewed,   will  be   approximately   $33,800,000,   $21,500,000,   $15,250,000,
$14,000,000 and $11,950,000,  respectively.  Interest expense [excluding line of
credit and bond  debenture  interest]  for the next five years,  included in the
above  payments,  will  be  approximately  $6,500,000,  $5,250,000,  $3,750,000,
$2,425,000  and  $1,350,000,   respectively.   In  addition,   the  Company  has
non-cancelable  operating  leases for use of its facilities and certain  medical
equipment  which will average  approximately  $3,650,000 in annual payments over
the next five years.
