INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Primedex Health Systems, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Primedex Health
Systems, Inc. and Affiliates as of April 30, 2000 and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six
months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of the interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Primedex Health Systems, Inc. and
Affiliates as of October 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended not
presented herein; and in our report dated January 28, 2000, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of October 31, 1999, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN

liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a
deficiency in equity of $63,885,000 and a working capital deficiency of
$40,012,000, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Over the past several years, management has been addressing the
issues that have lead to these deficiencies. Results of management's plans and
efforts have been positive, as indicated by the recent improvement in operating
income; however, continued effort is planned in the future to allow the Company
to continue to operate and ultimately return the Company to sustained
profitability. Such actions and plans include:
Increase revenue by selectively opening imaging centers in areas
currently not served by the Company. In November 1999, the Company opened a new
center in Long Beach, California which has experienced favorable performance in
its initial months of operations.
Increase revenue by negotiating new and existing managed care contracts
for additional services and more favorable terms. In the three months ended
January 31, 2000, the Company entered into 2 new capitation contracts that will
significantly increase business in at least four Southern California facilities.
Increase revenue through new fee for service arrangements where
opportunities exist. In the three months ended January 31, 2000, the Company was
successful in negotiating new fee for service arrangements that will increase
patient volume in four Southern California facilities.
Consolidate underperforming facilities to reduce operating cost
duplication.
Continue to evaluate all facilities' operations and trim excess
operating costs as well as general and administrative costs where it is feasible
to do so.
Continue to selectively acquire new medical equipment and replace old
and obsolete equipment in order to increase service volume and throughput at
many facilities. In 1999, this was done in many of the facilities, resulting in
increased revenue.
Selectively seek opportunities to hire physicians who have the
requisite skills and knowledge to deliver new and additional services where
deficiencies have been identified in underperforming facilities.
Continue to work with lessors and lenders to extend terms of leases and
financing to accommodate cash flow requirements for ongoing agreements and upon
the expiration of leases and notes. The Company has demonstrated success doing
so in the past, and in December 1999, successfully refinanced a portion of
existing notes and obtained additional working capital.

ITEM 2: BACKGROUND
Primedex Health Systems, Inc. ["PHS"] [formerly CCC Franchising Corp.] was
incorporated on October 21, 1985.
As of January 31, 1992, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, CCC Franchising
Acquisition Corp. I, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Primedex
Corporation ["PC"] for approximately $46,250,000. On July 29, 1993, the Company
announced its plans to restructure its Primedex subsidiary and to wind down its
involvement in the California worker's compensation industry. Accordingly, the
operating results of this subsidiary were reclassified as a discontinued
operation and the appropriate prior period amounts were restated. Effective
August 1, 1995, substantially all of the assets of PC were sold to an unrelated
party for approximately $9,448,000. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately
$3,800,000.
In November of 1995, the Company formed Radnet Managed Imaging Services, Inc.
["RMIS"] which acquired most of the assets of Future Diagnostics, Inc. ["FDI"]
by purchasing 100% of its outstanding stock for approximately $3.2 million
consisting of cash, notes and assumed assets and 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 sale resulted in a gain of approximately $10,400,000.
The Company continues to operate RMIS which provides utilization review
services. The Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended
January 31, 1999 reflect the overhead costs and cash transactions of RMIS.
Effective January 1, 1999, RMIS's operations and services 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 4,130,000 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
majority shareholder in DIS with approximately 59% ownership.
In subsequent purchases through June 2, 2000, the Company acquired an additional
3,472,137 shares of DIS stock from various related and unrelated parties for
$4,181,841 in cash and notes payable increasing its total ownership to
approximately 90%. The Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the six
months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999 reflect the operations and cash
transactions of DIS.
In October 1998, the Company purchased from DVI Healthcare Operations, Inc.
["DVI"] all 4,482,000 shares of DIS outstanding preferred stock which carried a
liquidation preference of $4,482,000, plus accrued and unpaid dividends of
$725,900 by issuing a $5,207,900 note payable to DVI due October 31, 2000. In
the transaction, the Company recorded financing costs of $5,207,900 which were
charged to operations during the year ended October 31, 1998.

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, future business decisions, and future governmental medical
reimbursement 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.
DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 VS. APRIL 30,
1999
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 PHS, Radnet,
RMIS and DIS for the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999.
During the six months ended April 30, 2000, the Company generated income from
operations of approximately $6,200,000. During the six months ended April 30,
1999, the Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $870,000.
During the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company realized net
revenues of approximately $41,885,000 and $34,730,000, respectively.
During the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, Radnet realized net
revenues of approximately $35,635,000 and $28,735,000, respectively, and DIS
realized net revenues of approximately $6,250,000 and $5,995,000, respectively.
The primary reasons for the improvement in net revenue was due to the addition
of new equipment increasing throughput and procedural exam volume, the addition
of new capitation contracts including St. Josephs and St. Judes benefiting the
Orange County region, the renegotiation of exisiting capitation and fee for
service contracts improving reimbursement, the addition of a new site in Long
Beach, California, and increased demand for imaging services throughout the
healthcare industry due to an improved economy.
During the six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred
operating expenses of approximately $35,685,000 and $35,600,000, respectively.

increase proportionately due to efficiencies created with the consolidation of a
portion of Tower's operation at its new Wilshire site, the addition of new
equipment which reduced repair and maintenance costs, the reduction of legal
expenditures related to litigation matters (coupled with reimbursement of legal
expenditures from the Company's insurance policies), and the reduction of film
costs with increased purchase discounts and the introduction of filmless systems
at a number of the Company's busiest facilities. In addition, during the six
months ended April 30, 1999, DIS's operating expenses included approximately
$479,000 for the write-off of additional shares of DIS stock acquired in

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES [CONTINUED]
The Company's working capital needs are currently provided under three lines of
credit.
Under one agreement with Coast Business Credit, due December 31, 2001, the
Company may borrow the lesser of 75% to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, the
prior 120-days' cash collections or $20,000,000. In any scenario, the Company
may borrow up to the aggregate collection of receivables in the prior 120-days
as long as the collections in any one month do not decrease by more than 25%
from the prior month. Borrowings under this line 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 ["Beverly Radiology'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 April 30, 2000, approximately $17,035,000 was outstanding under this
line. In December 1999, the Company obtained an additional $2,000,000 loan from
Coast Business Credit payable on June 30, 2000. This amount is included in the
outstanding balance under the line.
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 April 30, 2000, approximately $5,230,000 was outstanding under this
line, which was over the borrowing base by approximately $700,000 and over the
line availability by approximately $230,000.
The Company entered into an additional line of credit 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. ["Tower Goodwill"], 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. Effective January 1,
2000, the line of credit agreement was amended and monthly payments were
suspended and interest was accrued on the outstanding principal balance until
payments resume on July 1, 2000. At April 30, 2000, approximately $3,570,000 was
outstanding under this line.

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
An action entitled "Gerald E. Dalrymple, M.D. and Gerald E. Dalrymple, M.D.,
Inc. v. Primedex Health Systems, Inc., Howard Berger, M.D., Diagnostic Imaging
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Diagnostic Imaging Services, a
California corporation, and Diagnostic Health Services, Inc." was filed in the
Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. SC 047526 on June 3, 1997. The Complaint
alleged that Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. ["DIS"] failed to properly pay
plaintiffs' fees for performing professional services to which they were
entitled as well as damages for violation of the implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, fraud, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, interference with
existing and prospective business advantage, negligent and intentional
infliction of emotional distress and defamation, and sought damages for an
unspecified amount in excess of $25,000. The Complaint also alleged that by
virtue of the investment by the Company in DIS and the sale of four of the DIS
imaging centers and its ultrasound business to Diagnostic Health Services, Inc.,
that DIS had thereby effected either a reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity thereby
permitting plaintiffs to convert a warrant for 319,488 shares of DIS's common
stock, issued in connection with the acquisition of Parkside Radiology, to
either $1,000,000 cash or stock with a market value of $1,000,000 in the
Company, at the election of the Company. A partial settlement was reached in
August 1997. Pursuant to the partial settlement, Dr. Dalrymple assumed ownership
of Parkside Radiology and assumed responsibility for expenses of that facility
in the future. Additionally, DIS sold certain of its equipment and leasehold
improvements at Parkside to Dr. Dalymple for approximately $400,000. Plaintiff's
remaining claims, as well as the DIS cross-claims against Dr. Dalrymple
alleging, among other things, that Dr. Dalrymple pursued a plan to depress
Parkside's business, and therefore its value, thus enabling him to acquire the
facility he previously sold to DIS at a depressed price, were tried before a
jury in Santa Monica, California, from July 28, 1999 through August 20, 1999.
Having abandoned their claims for defamation and interference with existing and
prospective business advantage prior to trial, plaintiffs went forward with
their claim for breach of plaintiff's professional services contract with DIS,
their claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing
arising therefrom, their claims arising from the warrant, as well as their
claims for fraud, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, and for negligent and
intentional infliction of emotional distress. During the trial, the Court
granted verdict in the Company's favor on the latter claim and dismissed all
punitive damages allegations. The jury awarded a verdict against the Company in
the amount of $1,000,000 on the warrant claim, $259,345 on the claims based upon
the professional services contract, $226,650 on the breach of fiduciary duty and
conversion claims, $445,000 on the claim for negligent infliction of emotional
distress, and interest thereon. On the cross-complaint, DIS was awarded $180,000
for breach of contract on its claim that the plaintiff's failed to deliver a
valid and enforceable assignment of the leasehold premises when DIS purchased
Parkside Radiology in 1994. The demand of the parties for attorney's fees was
rejected and during the pendency of the Company's appeal the parties agreed to
settle the case in exchange for payment by the Company of $1,785,000.
