     Imaging,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  ("Alliance"),   filed  with  the
     Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on August 1,  1997.  This  amendment
     reports the  conversion  and  surrender to Alliance of 3,000,000  shares of
     Alliance's  Common  Stock  owned  by GE  Fund  (the  "Fund"  or  "Reporting
     Person").  The principal  executive offices of Alliance are located at 3111
     North Tustin Avenue, Orange, California 92865.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

          This  statement  is filed by the  Fund,  a New York  corporation  (the
     "Fund" or the "Reporting  Person"),  having its principal executive offices
     at 3135 Easton Turnpike, Fairfield, CT. The Fund is a corporation under the
     not-for-profit  corporation  laws  of the  State  of  New  York.  The  Fund
     principally invests its funds for charitable,  scientific,  literary and/or
     educational purposes.

          For  information  with respect to the identity and  background of each
     director and executive officer of the Fund, see Schedule I attached hereto.

          During the last five  years,  neither the Fund nor, to the best of its

     criminal proceeding  (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)
     or (b) been a party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial or  administrative

     final order  enjoining  future  violations  of, or prohibiting or mandating

          On December  18, 1997,  all 18,000  shares of  Alliance's  Series D 4%
     Cumulative Redeemable  Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred
     Stock")  owned  by the Fund  were  converted  into  3,000,000  shares  (the
     "Conversion   Shares")  of  Alliance's  Common  Stock  (the  "Common  Stock
     Conversion").  Immediately  following the Common Stock Conversion:  (i) the
     Conversion Shares were converted into the right to receive $11.00 per share
     in cash (the "Cash  Merger  Price")  pursuant to an  Agreement  and Plan of
     Merger  between  Newport  Investment  LLC and Alliance dated as of July 23,
     1997, as amended (the "Merger Agreement") and (ii) the Fund surrendered the

     to the terms of the Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement is incorporated
     by reference  herein to Exhibit 2.2 to  Alliance's  Current  Report on Form
     8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 1997.

          The Fund may change its current intentions,  acquire additional Common
     Stock or rights that are  convertible  into or exercisable for Common Stock
     or take any other  action  with  respect to  Alliance or any of its debt or
     equity  securities in any manner  permitted by law. Other than as set forth
     herein,  the Fund has no current  plans which  relate to or would result in
