As additional consideration for the above purchase, the Company issued
convertible preferred stock in the amount of $388,000 and common stock warrants
valued at $212,000.  As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded
goodwill of approximately $3,945,000.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by Alliance Imaging, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     The earnings per common share calculations for the six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 are based upon average common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the periods, and reflect preferred dividend
requirements totaling $468,000 and $465,000, respectively.  Common equivalent
shares include vested stock options and warrants with an exercise price lower
than current market value.

     The provisions for income taxes for the six month periods ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 are less than the statutory federal rate due to utilization of
certain net operating loss carryforwards during the periods.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


GENERAL

     The Company's financial performance depends substantially upon the scan
volume of its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems.  Revenues are generally
derived from one to eight year contracts with health care providers.  Since a
majority of the Company's expenses are fixed, increased revenues as a result of
higher scan volumes significantly improve the Company's profitability.
Conversely, lower scan volumes result in lower profitability.

     Among other things, the Company is subject to the risk that customers will
cease using the Company's MRI services upon expiration of contracts to purchase
or lease their own MRI systems.  In the past, when this has occurred, the
Company has generally been able to obtain replacement customers.  However, it is
not always possible to immediately obtain replacement customers, and some
replacement customers have been smaller facilities and have had lower scan
volumes.

     The health care industry is highly regulated and very competitive.  The
current health care environment is characterized by increasing cost containment
pressures which management believes have resulted in decreasing revenues per
scan.  Although scan prices have begun to stabilize, the Company expects pricing
levels to continue to decline moderately in the immediate future.  However, in
many cases higher scan volumes associated with new customer contracts justify
lower scan prices and such contracts do not adversely impact the Company's
revenues and profitability.  Although the Company has experienced increased scan
volumes in 1995 and 1996, it has also had periods of declining volumes in prior
years, and there can be no assurance that the recent positive trends will
continue.

     The Company has implemented numerous cost containment and efficiency
measures to reduce operating, payroll and selling, general and administrative
costs.  It has also refocused and expanded its sales and marketing efforts and
embarked on a major MRI fleet upgrade program.  Additionally, the Company
continues to evaluate the profitability of certain existing customer
relationships with a view toward eliminating unprofitable accounts and
redeploying or otherwise disposing of certain equipment.

     The Company intends to continue its ongoing equipment trade-in and upgrade
program which has substantially improved the marketability and productivity of
its MRI and computed axial tomography (CT) systems.  The Company intends to
either trade in older, less marketable MRI systems in connection with new system
purchases, or to upgrade them with new computers, software and coils to enable
its MRI fleet to remain competitive in the marketplace.

     Beginning in late 1993, the Company commenced a continuing review of the
carrying value of certain older equipment and other assets, as well as its
capital structure, in view of then current operating conditions.  As a result,
the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges in 1993 and 1994, and
began an ongoing equipment trade-in and upgrade program to improve the
marketability and productivity of the Company's MRI and CT systems.  In
addition, the Company completed a comprehensive financial restructuring with the
holders of its senior notes and senior subordinated


                                        8
<PAGE>

debentures effective December 31, 1994.  For further details concerning these
matters, please refer to the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

     On April 26, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Royal Medical Health Services, Inc. (Royal) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Like
the Company, Royal is a provider of comprehensive MRI services. The Company
issued 3,876 shares of preferred stock valued at $388,000, common stock warrants
valued at $212,000 and paid $1,914,000 in cash as consideration for the
acquisition of Royal.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations of Royal have been included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     Revenues for the first six months of 1996 were $31,302,000, an increase of
$2,055,000, or 7.0%, over 1995.  Excluding the revenues of $1,514,000 from
operations which were sold in the second half of 1995, the increase in revenues
was $3,569,000, or 12.9%, with Royal accounting for $1,207,000, or 4.4%, of the
increase.  This increase reflects a scan-based MRI revenue increase of
$2,749,000, or 11%, ($1,163,000, or 4.2%, as a result of the Royal acquisition),
resulting from a 15.7% increase in scan volume partially offset by a 4.0%
decrease in the average revenue realized per MRI scan.  Royal  accounted for
5.2% of the scan volume increase and 0.5% of the offsetting price per scan
decrease. Management attributes the non-Royal volume increase to the Company's
continuing fleet upgrade program, which has enabled the Company to obtain new
long-term contracts from both existing and new customers.  Management believes
the decrease in average revenues realized per scan is the result of continuing
competitive pressure in the MRI service industry and cost containment efforts by
health care payers, as well as obtaining contracts with customers that have high
scan volumes which justify lower scan prices.  Revenue under fixed fee contracts
increased $329,000, or 32.5%, resulting from an increased number of MRI systems
under such arrangements.  Other revenue increased $491,000, primarily as a
result of the third quarter 1995 acquisition of a mobile CT business.

     The Company's fleet included 87 MRI systems at June 30, 1996 compared to 73
MRI systems at June 30, 1995.  The average number of MRI systems operated by the
Company was 82 during the first six months of 1996, compared to 72 during the
first six months of 1995.

     Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, totaled $15,019,000 in the
first six months of 1996, an increase of $702,000, or 4.9%, from the first six
months of 1995.  Excluding expenses of $586,000 related to operations which were
sold in the second half of 1995, the increase in operating expenses was
$1,288,000, or 9.4%, with Royal contributing $493,000, or 3.6%, of the increase.
Payroll and related employee expenses increased $666,000, or 12.1%, which was in
line with the revenue increase.  Equipment rental expense increased $409,000, or
47.6% ($126,000, or 14.7%, was attributable to Royal).  The increase resulted
from a higher number of rented MRI systems in operation and the Company's
leasing of 10 new tractors in the first half of 1996.

     Depreciation expense during the first six months of 1996 totaled
$6,048,000, an increase of $32,000, or 0.5%.  Excluding depreciation expense of
$212,000 related to operations which were sold in


                                        9
<PAGE>

the second half of 1995, depreciation expense increased $244,000, or 4.2%, from
the 1995 level principally due to a higher amount of depreciable assets
associated with late second quarter equipment additions and the Royal
acquisition.  Amortization expense in the first six months of 1996 increased
$82,000, or 12.4%, over the 1995 period as a result of the Royal acquisition and
two other smaller acquisitions, one in the third quarter of 1995 and the other
in the first quarter of 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,160,000 in the
first six months of 1996, an increase of $21,000, or 0.7%, from the first six
months of 1995.  Excluding expenses of $225,000 related to operations sold in
the second half of 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$246,000, or 8.4%.  Payroll and related expenses increased $299,000, primarily
as a result of increased staffing levels and employee compensation.

     Interest expense of $2,683,000 in the first six months of 1996 was $80,000,
or 3.1%, higher than the same period in 1995, primarily as a result of higher
average outstanding debt balances during the first six months of 1996 as
compared to the first six months of 1995.  This increase was principally due to
debt assumed in connection with the Royal acquisition.

     An income tax provision of $545,000 was recorded in the first six months of
1996.  The Company's pre-tax income in 1996 is substantially offset by net
operating loss carryforwards; however, certain federal alternative minimum taxes
and state tax liabilities apply to this income, giving rise to the tax provision
recorded.  In the first six months of 1995, an income tax provision of $376,000
was recorded, also related to certain federal alternative minimum taxes and
state tax liabilities.  The Company's effective tax rate was constant at
approximately 15% of pre-tax income.

     The Company's net income was $3,102,000 in the first six months of 1996
compared to net income of $2,133,000 in the first six months of 1995, an
increase of $969,000, or 45.4%, primarily attributable to an increase in
revenues achieved without a proportionate increase in operating, and selling,
general and administrative expenses.  Earnings per common share totaled $.23 in
the first six months of 1996, compared to earnings per common share of $.15 for
the same period in 1995, an increase of 53.3%.  The earnings per common share
calculations reflect preferred dividend requirements of $468,000 in the first
six months of 1996 and $465,000 for the same period in 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO QUARTER
ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     Revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $16,616,000, an increase of
$1,850,000, or 12.5%, over 1995.  Excluding the revenues of $754,000 from
operations which were sold in the second half of 1995, the increase in revenues
was $2,604,000, or 18.6%, with Royal accounting for $1,207,000, or 8.6%, of the
increase.  This increase reflects a scan-based MRI revenue increase of
$2,239,000, or 18.0% ($1,163,000, or 9.3%, as a result of the Royal
acquisition), resulting from a 23.7% increase in scan volume partially offset by
a 4.6% decrease in the average revenue realized per MRI scan.  Royal  accounted
for 10.4% of the scan volume increase and 1.4% of the offsetting price per scan
decrease. Management attributes the non-Royal volume increase to the Company's
continuing fleet upgrade program, which has enabled the Company to obtain new
long-term contracts from both existing and new customers.  Management believes
the decrease in average revenues realized per scan is the result of


                                       10
<PAGE>

continuing competitive pressure in the MRI service industry and cost containment
efforts by health care payers, as well as obtaining contracts with customers
that have high scan volumes which justify lower scan prices.  Revenue under
fixed fee contracts increased $70,000, or 10.4%, resulting from an increased
number of MRI systems under such arrangements.  Other revenue increased
$295,000, primarily as a result of the third quarter 1995 acquisition of a
mobile CT business.

     The average number of MRI systems operated by the Company was 86 during the
second quarter of 1996, compared to 73 during the second quarter of 1995.

     Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, totaled $7,838,000 in the
second quarter of 1996, an increase of $690,000, or 9.7%, from second quarter
1995.  Excluding expenses of $345,000 related to operations which were sold in
the second half of 1995, the increase in operating expenses was $1,035,000, or
15.2%, with Royal contributing $493,000, or 7.2%, of the increase.  Payroll and
related employee expenses increased $560,000, or 21.1%, which was in line with
the revenue increase. Equipment rental expense increased $306,000, or 64.0%
($126,000, or 26.4% was attributable to Royal.)  The increase resulted from a
higher number of rented MRI systems in operation and the Company's leasing of 10
new tractors in the 1996 second quarter.

     Depreciation expense during the second quarter of 1996 totaled $3,182,000,
an increase of $158,000, or 5.2%.  Excluding depreciation expense of $105,000
related to operations which were sold in the second half of 1995, depreciation
expense increased $263,000, or 9.0%, from the 1995 level due to a higher amount
of depreciable assets associated with late quarter equipment additions and the
Royal acquisition.  Amortization expense in the 1996 second quarter increased
$69,000, or 20.8%, over the 1995 period as a result of the Royal acquisition and
two other smaller acquisitions, one in the third quarter of 1995 and the other
in the first quarter of 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,653,000 in the
second quarter of 1996, an increase of $56,000, or 3.5%, from the second quarter
of 1995.  Excluding expenses of $119,000 related to operations sold in the
second half of 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$175,000, or 11.8%.  Payroll and related employee expenses increased $207,000,
primarily as a result of increased staffing levels and employee compensation.

     Interest expense of $1,498,000 in the second quarter of 1996 was $149,000,
or 11.0%, higher than the same period in 1995 primarily as a result of the debt
assumed related to the Royal acquisition and amortization of the value assigned
to the warrants issued in connection with certain debt amendments in the second
quarter of 1996.

     An income tax provision of $306,000 was recorded in the second quarter of
1996.  The Company's pre-tax income in 1996 is substantially offset by net
operating loss carryforwards; however, certain federal alternative minimum taxes
and state tax liabilities apply to this income, giving rise to the tax provision
recorded.  In the second quarter of 1995, an income tax provision of $204,000
was recorded, also related to certain federal alternative minimum taxes and
state tax liabilities.  The Company's effective tax rate was constant at
approximately 15% of pre-tax income.

     The Company's net income was $1,738,000 in the second quarter of 1996
compared to net income of $1,112,000 in the second quarter of 1995, an increase
of $626,000, or 56.3%, primarily


                                       11
<PAGE>

attributable to an increase in revenues achieved without a proportionate
increase in operating and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Earnings per common share totaled $.13 in the second quarter of 1996, compared
to earnings per common share of $.08 for the same period in 1995, an increase of
62.5%.  The earnings per common share calculations reflect preferred dividend
requirements of $236,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and $233,000 in the
second quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1996, cash and short-term investments were $11,180,000 compared
to $11,128,000 at December 31, 1995, and the aggregate of the Company's long-
term debt and senior subordinated debentures was $73,167,000 compared to
$65,932,000 at December 31, 1995.  The Company obtained a $3,000,000 revolving
line of credit secured by accounts receivable in December 1995.  This line,
which has not been utilized, is intended to act as a temporary supplement to
fund working capital needs.

     The Company generated $10,877,000 in net cash from operating activities
during the first six months of 1996, compared to $7,665,000 during 1995's first
six months, an increase of $3,212,000, or 41.9%.  This cash flow was sufficient
to meet the Company's debt service obligations and capital expenditures not
financed.  During the first six months of 1996, the Company financed $10,227,000
of capital expenditures and repaid $5,608,000 of long-term debt.  In addition,
the Company assumed $5,532,000 of long-term debt in connection with the Royal
acquisition.  The Company believes its continuing cash flow from operations as
well as its cash balances and other credit sources will be adequate for
anticipated operating, debt service, preferred dividend and capital expenditure
requirements.

     Debt service requirements on the Company's restructured senior notes, with
a balance of $25,500,000 at June 30, 1996 require quarterly payments of interest
at 7.5%, plus aggregate principal payments of $400,000 in 1996 (gradually
increasing to $6,200,000 in 2003).  The Company made an additional $1,000,000
principal payment in April 1996 in connection with the lender's agreement to
increase capital expenditure limitations (see below).  The senior subordinated
debentures with a balance of $16,258,000 at June 30, 1996, require quarterly
payments of $187,500 through 2003 (increasing to approximately $1,900,000 in
2004 and 2005) which, for financial statement purposes, are recorded as
principal reductions; no interest expense will be recorded during the
contractual term of the debentures, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     The Company's Series A preferred stock, with a balance of $15,965,000
(including accumulated dividends of $465,000) at June 30, 1996, bears a dividend
at 6% of its original liquidation value ($15,500,000) annually.  However,
dividends may be paid in cash only if certain defined operating cash flow levels
are achieved or to the extent of proceeds from the sale of new common equity.
The Company's 1995 cash flow substantially exceeded the level required to pay
the 1995 Series A preferred stock dividend in cash and such dividend was paid in
April 1996 in the amount of $930,000.  Although the Company expects to be able
to pay the Series A preferred stock dividends attributable to 1996 and
subsequent years in cash, there can be no assurance that future cash flow levels
will be sufficient to permit the payment of such future dividends in cash.  If
annual cash dividends are not or cannot be paid, dividends will be payable in
Series B preferred stock, which has no dividend requirement and is convertible
into common stock at specified prices.  Consequently, substantial amounts of
common stock equivalents may be issued to the holders of the Series A preferred
stock in the future, which would cause


                                       12
<PAGE>

significant dilution to present common stockholders.  Both series of preferred
stock have mandatory redemption requirements (in the case of Series B, if not
previously converted to common stock) applicable after the senior notes and
senior subordinated debentures are fully repaid.

     In connection with the Royal acquisition, the Company issued Series C
preferred stock which has a balance of $391,000 (including accumulated dividends
of $3,000) at June 30, 1996.  The Series C preferred stock bears a dividend,
payable in cash only, of 5% of its original liquidation value ($388,000)
annually; it is redeemable at the Company's option, but does not have mandatory
redemption requirements.  Holders of Series C preferred stock may convert their
stock into common stock at a specified price.  Management believes that the
conversion of all of the Series C preferred stock would not cause significant
dilution to present common stockholders.

     The senior notes, senior subordinated debentures and certain other credit
agreements contain various covenants related to financial ratios and other
matters.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30,1996.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     The Company purchased six new high-field MRI systems and upgraded ten other
MRI systems at a total approximate cost of $14,360,000 during the first six
months of 1996.  The Company currently plans to purchase eight additional high-
field MRI systems in 1996 and to upgrade seven additional systems.  The
Company's senior secured and subordinated lenders agreed in April 1996 to
increase the Company's allowable capital expenditures to a total of $34 million
in 1996 and 1997, an increase of $14 million from previous levels.
Consequently, the Company may purchase or upgrade several more systems in 1996
as opportunities to place new equipment into service arise when future contracts
are signed and existing contracts are renewed.

     In addition, the Company expects to dispose of substantially all of its
remaining less technologically advanced systems in 1996 in exchange for new or
used MRI systems.  The Company intends to use a combination of existing cash
reserves, cash flow from operations and long-term secured equipment financing to
finance its capital expenditures, although there can be no assurance that such
financing will be available to the Company.  The Company intends to continue
focusing on acquiring state-of-the-art equipment while disposing of older
systems.

     In connection with the Royal acquisition, the Company acquired six MRI
systems.  This transaction was primarily funded from existing cash reserves and
debt assumed.  Additional investments of this nature may be made in the future
(subject to certain conditions contained in the Company's long-term financing
arrangements) from a combination of cash reserves, cash flow from operations,
common or preferred equity and long-term secured or unsecured financing, if
available.

     If the Company adds MRI systems at a more rapid rate than is currently
planned, or if it acquires additional business entities, or if the net cash
generated by operations declines from current or anticipated levels, the Company
could be required to raise additional capital.  However, there can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to raise such capital, or do so on
terms acceptable to the Company, or that consents from present lenders, if
required, could be obtained.
