disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance

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
interim  periods  ended March 31,  1997 and 1996 have been made.  The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily  indicative of the results
for the full year. These interim  consolidated  financial  statements  should be

contained  in the  Company's  annual  report on Form  10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.

(3) Intangible Assets

The  Company's  goodwill  of  $1,488,258  as of March  31,  1997 is shown net of
accumulated amortization of $257,272.  Amortization expense for the three months
ended  March  31,  1997  and  1996  was  approximately   $62,000  and  $106,000,
respectively.  Approximately  $4.1 million of net goodwill  was  written-off  in
conjunction with the sale to DHS (see Note 5).

Other intangible assets consist primarily of covenants not to compete, loan fees
and organization costs. The Company's covenants not to compete of $201,667 as of
March  31,  1997  are  shown  net  of  accumulated   amortization  of  $348,333.
Amortization  expense  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1997 and 1996 was

Inc. ("PHS").  In March 1997, DIS repaid PHS approximately $1.6 million with the
proceeds  from the sale of its  Ultrasound  division  to DHS (see  Note 5).  The
repayment  was  primarily  for  short-term  working  capital  loans and  accrued
management fees. The remaining payments reduced DIS's outstanding revolving loan
obligation with PHS.

As of March 31, 1997, DIS owed an officer of the Company  approximately  $89,000
for prior net loans made by him to the Company.

(5) Business Combinations, Acquisitions, Sales and Divestitures

Effective  January 1, 1997,  the assets and  related  liabilities  of  Montclair
Mobile MRI were assumed by Primedex Health Systems,  Inc. The transfer  resulted
in a  gain  of  approximately  $97,000  allowing  DIS  to  write-off  a  reserve
established in 1996 for estimated disposal costs related to the mobile unit.

On January 1, 1997, the Company and Scripps  Health,  San Diego  completed their
project for the development and operation of an outpatient radiological facility
providing  MRI  services and began  seeing its first  patients.  The Company and
ScrippsHealth are equal partners in the Scripps Chula Vista Imaging Center,  LLP
("SCV") with the Company serving as managing partner.

Effective March 1, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its ultrasound  division
to Diagnostic Health Services,  Inc. ("DHS") for  approximately  $8,040,000 less
assumed debt of approximately $1,520,000; the net cash proceeds of approximately
$6,520,000  were  received  in March  1997.  In  addition,  DHS paid the Company
$500,000 in March 1997 for a ten-year covenant not-to-compete.

Also  effective  March 1, 1997,  DHS purchased  the stock of Diagnostic  Imaging
Services,  Inc.  (California),  including three  hospital-based  MRI centers and
Santa Monica Imaging Center (a  partnership),  for $13,500,000 less assumed debt
of approximately  $6,045,000;  the net cash proceeds of approximately $7,455,000
were received in April 1997 with 12% interest of approximately  $130,000 accrued
from the March 1, 1997 effective sale date. In addition, DHS paid the Company an
additional  $500,000  in April 1997 for a ten-year  covenant  not-to-compete.  A
short-term receivable was set-up by DIS for the cash proceeds that were received
in April  1997.  Both  covenants  not-to-compete  are  classified  as  "Deferred
Revenue" on the Company's balance sheet.

In  addition  to the  proceeds  from the MRI sites  sold  above,  there are post
closing  payments  of  $500,000 to be paid by DHS at the end of each year on the
first,  second  and  third  anniversaries  of the  closing  date.  A  discounted
receivable of approximately $1,190,000 was set-up on the Company's balance sheet
for these "post-closing payments" of which approximately $343,000 are classified
as  current  assets.  There  is also an  option  to  receive  the  "post-closing
payments"  in the form of common  stock of DHS valued at the mean average of the
reported  closing price of such common stock as reported on the NASDAQ  National
Market for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third day immediately
prior to the closing date ("the Agreed Value").

The  combined  sales to DHS resulted in a net gain of  approximately  $8,260,000
recorded in March 1997.

As a result of a continuing  deteriorating  business  climate and other business
reasons at the Company's Santa Monica ("Parkside")  facility, the Company ceased
substantially  all of its  operations  at the facility on August 29,  1997.  The
Company  was paid  approximately  $465,000  for the  assets  at the site and the
building  lease  liability  was assumed by an unrelated  third party.  A loss of
approximately  $3,425,000  was  recognized  in December  1996 and  approximately
$155,000  remains in assets held for  divestiture at March 31, 1997. As a result
of the closing, the assets and related liabilities of WLA will be transferred to
PHS's RadNet Management, Inc.

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Background

Diagnostic  Imaging Services,  Inc. ("DIS" or the "Company") was incorporated in
California  as an S-  Corporation  on June  27,  1986.  In 1992,  the  Company's
consolidated  operations consisted of non-invasive  diagnostic imaging services,
primarily with the use of ultrasound technology ("Ultrasound Division").  During
1992 and 1993,  DIS  established  one mobile MRI  business  and was the  general
partner of four limited  partnerships that provided diagnostic imaging services:
San Gabriel Valley Magnetic  Resonance Imaging Center ("SGV"),  Tarzana Regional
Medical Center Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center  ("Tarzana"),  Inland Community
Magnetic  Resonance Imaging Center ("Inland") and Temecula Valley Imaging Center
("Temecula"). DIS also provided management services for these entities.

In June 1993, DIS became the general partner and 70% owner of Mission Bay Mobile
MRI Facility,  L.P.  ("MBM").  In March 1996,  MBM's assets and liabilities were
assumed by an  unaffiliated  third  party;  the  transfer  resulted in a gain of
approximately  $296,000.  In December  1993,  Norman Hames,  President and Chief
Financial  Officer of DIS,  assigned  his shares in a  privately  held  company,
Diagnostic  Imaging  Services,   Inc.  ("Diagnostic")  to  a  newly  established
corporation, DIS Imaging, Inc., of which he was the sole shareholder. In January
1994,  DIS  Imaging,  Inc.  purchased  the  shares  held  by the  then  majority
shareholder of Diagnostic and all of his interests in certain partnerships which
Diagnostic managed.

During the months of January and February  1994,  DIS  purchased  the  remaining
limited partnership units of Tarzana, SGV and Inland. Additionally,  in February
1994,  DIS  purchased  the  assets of two  freestanding  multi-modality  imaging
centers: Thousand Oaks Medical Diagnostic Imaging ("MDI") and Parkside Radiology
("Santa  Monica" or  "Parkside").  In April  1994,  DIS opened  Valley  Regional
Oncology Center,  Ltd., L.P.  ("VROC"),  a cancer care therapy center located in
Temecula,  California.  DIS is the  general  partner  and 75% owner of VROC.  On
September 2, 1994, DIS merged its operations with IPS Health Care, Inc. pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization  and an Agreement for the Exchange of
Stock and Assets  (see  Company's  Form  10-KSB).  The  Company's  name was then
changed to  Diagnostic  Imaging  Services,  Inc..  On September  22,  1994,  DIS
purchased  the assets of North  County  MRI and North  County  Mediscan  ("North
County"  collectively).  The nuclear medicine  business at North County Mediscan
was sold for $230,000 in June 1996.

In January 1995, DIS assumed  ownership of West Los Angeles MRI ("WLA").  In the
first quarter of 1995, Inland was relocated from Montclair to Chino,  California
("Chino"). During this time, the center was closed for approximately two months.
In February 1995, DIS purchased the  outstanding  limited  partnership  units of
Santa Monica Imaging Center  ("SMIC") and became its general  partner.  In April
1997,  DIS purchased the remaining  partnership  units in SMIC for $300,000.  In
August  1995,  DIS  purchased  the  assets of an X-Ray,  mammography,  and basic
ultrasound center in Murietta, California ("Murietta").

On March 25,  1996,  DIS issued  2,747,493  shares of its common  stock  (with a
five-year warrant to purchase an additional  1,521,739 shares of common stock at
$1.60 per share) to Primedex Health Systems, Inc. ("PHS") for $3,000,000 and the
establishment of a five-year revolving $1,000,000 line of credit for DIS. PHS is
a  publicly-traded  New York  corporation  organized in 1985 and is  principally
engaged in the healthcare services industry in California. DIS also entered into
two  five-year  management  service  agreements  with PHS.  The first  agreement
relates to DIS's overall corporate operations and provides that PHS will provide
for all office  maintenance  for the DIS  facilities,  administer  its personnel
program,  bookkeeping and payroll  services as well as certain of its accounting
services.  In  addition,   PHS  provides  advice  to  DIS  with  regard  to  its
accreditation  program and negotiates on behalf of DIS for equipment,  supplies,
service and insurance.  DIS agreed to pay $45,000 per month for these  services.
Additionally,  DIS entered into a second  agreement which will be phased in on a
center by center basis which provides for PHS to supply transcription  services,
patient scheduling,  billing and collection services. All costs of equipment and
training are the  responsibility of PHS. DIS will pay PHS an amount equal to 10%
of its collections from each covered center for such services.

Background (Continued)

As of March 31, 1997,  through various  transactions  with related and unrelated
parties,  PHS  acquired  an  additional  4,031,314  shares of DIS  common  stock
bringing its total ownership to 6,778,807 shares, or approximately 59.1%.

In May 1996,  Integrated  Cardiovascular  Systems,  Inc. ("ICVS") was sold to an
unaffiliated  third  party for  $798,000  resulting  in a gain of  approximately
$313,000.  In addition,  the Company also  consolidated  SMIC's non-MRI business
with  Parkside  during the month.  In August  1996,  DIS acquired the assets and
liabilities of HealthCare  Imaging  Center ("HCI") in Riverside,  California for
$200,000  resulting in goodwill of $10,000.  In September  1996,  DIS opened the
Camarillo Imaging Center ("Camarillo"), a start-up operation utilizing equipment
transferred  from other  sites.  In October  1996,  DIS  assumed  the assets and
liabilities of Corona Imaging Center ("Corona").

Effective  January 1, 1997,  the assets and  related  liabilities  of  Montclair
Mobile MRI were assumed by Primedex Health Systems,  Inc. The transfer  resulted
in a gain of approximately $97,000 allowing DIS to write-off a reserve set-up in
1996 for estimated disposal costs related to the mobile unit.

On January 1, 1997, the Company and  ScrippsHealth,  San Diego  completed  their
project for the development and operation of an outpatient radiological facility
providing  MRI  services and began  seeing its first  patients.  The Company and
ScrippsHealth  will be equal partners in the Scripps Chula Vista Imaging Center,
LLP ("SCV") with the Company serving as managing partner.

Effective March 1, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its ultrasound  division
to Diagnostic Health Services,  Inc. ("DHS") for approximately  $8,040,000 (less
assumed debt of approximately  $1,520,000) plus $500,000 for a ten-year covenant
not-to-compete.  In addition,  DHS  purchased  the stock of  Diagnostic  Imaging
Services,   Inc.  (California),   including  three  hospital-based  MRI  centers
(Tarzana, Chino and SGV) and Santa Monica Imaging Center (SMIC), for $13,500,000
(less assumed debt of approximately  $6,045,000) plus an additional $500,000 for
a ten-year  covenant  not-to-compete.  In addition to the proceeds  from the MRI
sites sold above,  there are post closing payments of $500,000 to be paid by DHS
at the end of each year on the  first,  second  and third  anniversaries  of the
closing date. The combined sales to DHS resulted in a net gain of  approximately
$8,260,000 recorded in March 1997. DHS also assumed the building lease liability
at the Company's WLA facility; the MRI at WLA was to be moved to Parkside.

As a result of a continuing  deteriorating  business  climate and other business
reasons at the Company's Santa Monica ("Parkside")  facility, the Company ceased
substantially  all of its  operations  at the facility on August 29,  1997.  The
Company  was paid  approximately  $465,000  for the  assets  at the site and the
building  lease  liability  was assumed by an unrelated  third party.  A loss of
approximately  $3,425,000  was  recognized in December  1996. As a result of the
closing,  the assets and related  liabilities  of WLA will now be transferred to
PHS's RadNet Management, Inc. for use at its site in Stockton, California.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Discussion of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 vs. March 31, 1996

The  following  discussion  relates to the  continuing  activities of Diagnostic
Imaging Services, Inc..

Results of Operations

For the three months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  the Company had net losses
from operations of $536,785 and $1,020,427, respectively.

Net revenue was  $4,733,510  and $5,904,255 for the three months ended March 31,
1997  and  1996,  respectively.  The  decrease  in  net  revenue  was  primarily
attributable  to the  sale to DHS  with  the  final  revenues  for  these  sites
recognized in February 1997.

Total  expenses were  $5,270,295 and $6,924,682 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The expense  decrease was  primarily due to a
reduction of  approximately  $1,500,000 in expenditures for salaries and medical
supplies.

For the three  months  ended March 31,  1997 and 1996,  the Company had gains on
sale or divestiture of $8,485,422 and $177,214,  respectively.  The increase was
due to the  gain  of  approximately  $8,260,000  recognized  from  the  sale  of
substantially all of the assets of the Company's ultrasound division and four of
its hospital-based MRI sites.

For the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 and 1996,  interest  expense  was
$686,512  and  $968,150,  respectively.  Interest  expense of DIS was  primarily
attributable to equipment  financing and lines of credit charges. In March 1996,
the Company paid down its second line of credit by $3,000,000  with the proceeds
from the issuance of its stock to PHS.

For the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  the  Company  had net  income of
$7,249,113 compared to a net loss of $1,747,155 for the three months ended March
31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash increased for the three months ended March 31, 1996 by $771. 
 Cash decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1996 by $12,295.

Cash generated  from  investing  activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 was $6,714,199. Cash utilized for investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was  $45,116.  In March 1997,  DIS  received  approximately
$7,020,000 from the sale of its Ultrasound Division to DHS (see Note 5).

Cash utilized for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997
was  $5,705,522.  Cash generated from financing  activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was $341,573. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, approximately $-0- and $5,200,000 in proceeds, respectively, were borrowed
from  related  parties,  realized in cash  overdrafts  or  acquired  through the
issuance of common  stock.  For the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
approximately $4,260,000 and $4,835,000,  respectively, of payments were made on
notes payable,  lines of credit and capital leases.  In addition,  for the three
months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  approximately  $1,620,000  and  $17,000,
respectively, of payments were made toward related party liabilities.

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Discussion of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 vs. March 31, 1996

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

At March 31,  1997,  the  Company  had net  working  capital of  $1,646,178,  an
increase of  $15,916,435  from  December 31, 1996. A key reason for the increase
was due to the sale of the  Company's  Ultrasound  Division and MRI sites to DHS
(see Note 5). Net cash and current receivables of approximately $15,000,000 were
recognized as part of the transaction.

In June 1994,  the Company  entered into a $2,500,000  revolving term note ("A")
agreement  with  a  financial  institution,  which,  at  the  time,  was  also a
shareholder of the Company, to replace a previous line of credit agreement dated
January 1994. Revolving term note "A" is collateralized by all eligible accounts
receivable  as defined in the  agreement.  In August 1994,  the maximum level of
borrowings  was  increased  to  $3,500,000  and  in  June  1995,   increased  to
$4,000,000.  During 1995 the amount outstanding has, from time to time, exceeded
maximum borrowings available under the agreement.  Under revolving note "A", due
June 1997,  the Company may borrow  approximately  53% of the eligible  accounts
receivable, to a maximum of $4,000,000.  Borrowing under this line are repayable
with interest at an annual rate of the prime rate plus 3-1/2%,  payable monthly.
At March 31, 1997,  approximately  $320,000 was outstanding under this line. The
Company also has a $1,000,000  credit  facility  available with PHS. As of March
31, 1997, approximately $360,000 was outstanding under this line.

The Company's  future  payments for debt and equipment  under capital leases for
the next five years,  assuming lines of credit are paid and not renewed, will be
approximately  $7,325,000,  $5,340,000,  $4,290,000,  $4,060,000 and $2,290,000,
respectively.  Interest expense  (assuming lines of credit are paid in full) for
the  Company for the next five years,  included in the above  payments,  will be
approximately   $2,115,000,   $1,225,000,   $860,000,   $470,000   and  $65,000,
respectively.

                                     PART II


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Registrant is not a party to any material legal proceedings, except that

         (a) On April 10,  1996,  the  Registrant  was served  with a  complaint
entitled Midway Hospital  Medical Center v. Diagnostic  Imaging  Services,  Inc.
filed in the U.S.  District Court,  Central District of California  bearing case
number  96-2414TJH  brought by Midway Hospital Medical Center seeking payment of
$116,056 plus attorneys fees based upon the alleged failure of the Registrant to
discharge medical bills of a Registrant  employee covered under the Registrant's
health  insurance  program.  The Registrant  then commenced legal action against
Registrant's outside administrator of its health insurance program alleging that
it failed to properly administer that program and that if there is any liability
to Midway, it is the liability of its  administrator.  The administrator  denied
any liability and filed a counterclaim  against the Registrant  alleging that it
was owed $141,658,  which the  Registrant  denied.  The  Registrant  settled the
action with regard to the $116,056  claim of Midway  Hospital  Medical Center by
payment  of   approximately   $60,000  and  settled  the  claim  of  its  former
administrator for $141,658 by payment of approximately $95,000.

         (b) On June  4,  1997,  the  Registrant  was  served  with a  complaint
entitled  Gerald E.  Dalrymple,  M.D.  and Gerald E.  Dalrymple,  M.D.,  Inc., a
California  professional  corp. v. Primedex  Health  Systems,  Inc.,  Diagnostic
Imaging  Services,  Inc. and Diagnostic  Health Services,  Inc. filed in the Los
Angeles Superior Court and bearing case number SC 047 526. The complaint alleges
that   Registrant   failed  to  properly  pay  plaintiff   fees  for  performing
professional  services to which he was 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 seeks damages for an unspecified amount in excess of $25,000. The
complaint  also  alleges  that by virtue of the  investment  by Primedex  Health
Systems, Inc. in Registrant and the sale of four of Registrant's imaging centers
and its ultrasound business to Diagnostic Health Services, Inc. (see "Item 1" of
Registrants  Form  10-KSB for its  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1996) that
Registrant has thereby effected either a reorganization,  consolidation,  merger
or transfer of all or substantially  all of its assets to another entity thereby
permitting  plaintiff  to convert a warrant for 319,488  shares of  Registrant's
Common  Stock  exercisable  at  $.01  per  share  which  plaintiff  received  in
connection with Registrant's  acquisition of its Santa Monica facility to either
$1,000,000 cash or stock with a market value of $1,000,000 in the new entity, at
the election of the Registrant  (the "Warrant  Issue").  The entire  litigation,
except for the Warrant  Issue and  certain  claims of the  Registrant  have been
settled.   Pursuant  to  the  Settlement  Dr.  Dalrymple  assumed  ownership  of
Registrant's   Santa   Monica   facility   (Parkside   Radiology)   and  assumed
responsibility  for  expenses  of  the  facility  in the  future.  Additionally,
Registrant sold its equipment and leasehold  improvements  to Dr.  Dalrymple for
approximately  $465,000.  The litigation with regard to the Warrant Issue and to
Registrant's claim against Dr. Dalrymple alleging,  among other things, that Dr.
Dalrymple pursued a plan to depress the business at, and therefore valuation of,
Parkside Radiology, thus enabling him to acquire the facility he previously sold
to Registrant at a depressed price, continues.  Registrant intends to vigorously
defend and to pursue the remaining elements of the action.

         (c) On January 14, 1997, an action  entitled  Kennedy-Wilson  v. Norman
Hames  and  Diagnostic  Imaging  Services,  Inc.  was  filed in the Los  Angeles
Superior  Court and bears case number SC 0455617.  The action is for breach of a
lease  and  requests  damages  in  excess  of  $50,000.  Registrant  intends  to
vigorously defend the action.

Item 5.  Other Information

         On March 21, 1997, Registrant entered into an agreement with Diagnostic
Health Services,  Inc. ("DHS") whereby Registrant sold the assets subject to the
related  liabilities  of its  ultrasound  business (13 mobile  ultrasound  units
together  with 15  ultrasound  laboratories)  for  Eight  Million  five  Hundred
Thousand Dollars, comprised of approximately Seven Million Dollars cash with the
balance consisting of the assumption of liabilities.  Net annual revenues to the
Registrant from those operations have been approximately Four Million Dollars.

         On April 17, 1997,  Registrant  concluded the sale of its  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  which owns and operates four  magnetic  resonance  imaging  centers
located on or adjacent to hospital  sites in the Los Angeles  area,  for Sixteen
Million Dollars  (including  assumption of approximately  Six Million Dollars of
debt to DHS).  The four  centers  formerly  provided  approximately  6.5 Million
Dollars of net annual revenue to the Registrant.

March 21, 1997 and its Form 8-K for the event of April 17, 1997.

         On April 18, 1997,  Registrant  loaned  $5,500,000  to Primedex  Health
Systems,  Inc. (owner of approximately  70% of Registrant's  outstanding  common
stock),  payable monthly interest only at 10% per annum,  with principal due and
payable on or before March 31, 1998.
