(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.

In addition, 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.  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 $363,000 are classified
as current assets. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, interest income of
approximately  $35,000 was recognized on the deferred receivable.  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.

In May 1997,  the Company  acquired the assets of Las Posas Medical  Imaging for
$35,000 and assumed the building  lease for the facility.  The Company moved the
assets and business of its Camarillo facility to this location using Camarillo's
prior space for warehouse storage.

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 (of which
$65,000 was received during the six months ended June 30, 1997) 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  $43,000 remains in
assets held for  divestiture  at June 30, 1997. As a result of the closing,  the
assets  and  related  liabilities  of WLA will be  transferred  to PHS's  RadNet
Management, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 1997.

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 Murrieta,  California ("Murrieta").  Murrieta was closed in
late 1996.

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 June 30, 1997,  through  various  transactions  with related and unrelated
parties,  PHS  acquired  an  additional  5,084,477  shares of DIS  common  stock
bringing its total ownership to 7,831,970 shares, or approximately 68.3%.

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 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) 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.

In May 1997,  the Company  acquired  the assets and assumed  liabilities  of Las
Posas Medical  Imaging for $35,000 and relocated its Camarillo  facility and its
related business to this site.

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.

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 June 30, 1997 vs. June 30, 1996

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

Results of Operations

For the six months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996,  the  Company  had  operating
losses of  approximately  $340,000  and  $1,160,000,  respectively.  The  income
improvement was primarily  attributable  to decreases in operating  expenditures
over and above those decreases  related to the sale of certain sites to DHS (see
Note 5).

Net revenue was  approximately  $8,045,000  and  $11,550,000  for the six months
ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Total  operating  expenses  were
approximately  $8,400,000 and $12,700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996,  respectively.  The  majority of the  decreases in revenue and related
operating  expenses were due to the sale of four of the Company's MRI facilities
and its  Ultrasound  Division to DHS in 1997 (see Note 5) and the sales of ICVS,
North  County's  nuclear  medicine  business  and  MBM in  1996.  Other  expense
decreases were primarily  attributable  to benefits  obtained from reductions in
historically  accrued  professional  fees as well as  reductions in staffing and
related salaries and benefits.

For  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  and  1996,  interest  expense  was
approximately $1,200,000 and $1,825,000,  respectively.  Interest expense of DIS
is primarily  attributable to equipment financing and lines of credit charges of
which outstanding  principal balances  decreased by approximately  $10.5 million
from June 1996 to June 1997. During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
interest income was approximately $255,000 and $-0-, respectively. Approximately
$130,000 of  interest  was paid by DHS and was related to the sale of DIS's four
hospital-based  MRI  facilities  where the sale proceeds were not received until
April 1997 even though the effective sale date was March 1, 1997. Other interest
income relates to DHS's deferred receivable (see Note 5) and PHS loans (see Note
4).

During the six months ended June 30,  1997,  the Company  recognized  gains from
sales or divestiture of approximately  $8,355,000;  approximately  $8,260,000 of
the  gain  related  to the sale to DHS (see  Note 5) and  approximately  $97,000
related to the transfer of Montclair Mobile's assets and related  liabilities to
PHS.

For the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  the  Company  had  net  income  of
approximately  $6,935,000  compared  to a net loss of  $(2,400,000)  for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 by $5,569 and 
$12,231, respectively.

Cash generated from investing  activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $8,860,000 and $885,000, respectively. During the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, DIS received approximately $15,040,000 from
the sale to DHS (see Note 5) and approximately $1,030,000 from the sales of ICVS
and the nuclear medicine business at North County, respectively.  During the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company loaned approximately  $5,420,000 to PHS,
acquired  fifteen  more  units  of  TVIC  for  $196,875,  paid  $35,000  for the
acquisition  of Las Posas Medical  Imaging and paid  approximately  $525,000 for
property, equipment and other assets. During the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the Company  paid  approximately  $145,000  for  property,  equipment  and other
assets.

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



Discussion of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 vs. June 30, 1996

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Cash  utilized for financing  activities  for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was approximately  $6,770,000.  Cash generated from financing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 was  approximately  $247,000.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, approximately $1,944,000 in repayments were made to related
parties.  During  the six months  ended  June 30,  1996,  the  Company  borrowed
approximately  $1,640,000  from related parties and repaid only $16,503 on prior
related  party loans.  During the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the
Company made  principal  payments on notes and capital  leases of  approximately
$4,610,000  and  $6,170,000,  respectively.  In addition,  during the six months
ended June 30, 1996,  the Company  borrowed  approximately  $1,172,000  on notes
payable and received  proceeds of  $3,000,000  related to the issuance of common
stock.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had net working  capital of $297,595,  an increase
of $14,567,852  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/or current receivables of approximately $15,040,000 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.  Under revolving note "A", originally due June 1997, the Company may
borrow  approximately 53% of the eligible accounts  receivable,  to a maximum of
$4,000,000.  Borrowings under this line are repayable with interest at an annual
rate  of the  prime  rate  plus  3-1/2%,  payable  monthly.  At June  30,  1997,
approximately  $1,700,000 was outstanding under this line. The line was extended
on a  month-to-month  basis and was paid-off and closed in September 1997 at the
Company's  request.  The Company also has a $1,000,000 credit facility available
with PHS. As of June 30, 1997, $-0- was outstanding under this line.

The Company's  future  payments for debt and equipment  under capital leases for
the next five years will be approximately  $7,575,000,  $5,430,000,  $4,340,000,
$4,090,000 and $1,410,000,  respectively.  Interest  expense for the Company for
the next five  years,  included  in the above  payments,  will be  approximately
$2,000,000, $1,180,000, $800,000, $400,000 and $35,000, 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 $90,000.

  (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  $400,000.  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.

   For further  information see Registrant's Form 8-K for the event of 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  69.8% 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.
