Supplemental Schedule of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities:
  The Company  entered into capital  leases of  approximately  $-0- and $139,582
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

  The  Company  sold its share of Scripps  Chula Vista MRI,  L.P. to  Diagnostic
Health  Services,  Inc.  ["DHS"]  for  127,250  shares of DHS  stock.  As of the
transaction  date,  the  shares  were  valued  at  $1,431,563  and  recorded  as
marketable  securities held for sale. In the transaction,  the Company wrote-off
approximately  $1,565,000 in net property and equipment,  approximately $865,000
in  notes  and  capital  leases  payable,  approximately  $400,000  in  minority
interest,  approximately $160,000 in accrued expenses, approximately $290,000 in
net  accounts  receivable  and  approximately  $20,000  in net other  intangible
assets.

  During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company  received  equipment
with a fair  market  value of  approximately  $130,000  from  PHS.  The  Company
transferred  equipment  with a net book  value  of  approximately  $950,000  and
related  liabilities  of  approximately  $892,000 to PHS.  The net  transactions
reduced PHS's liability to DIS by approximately $72,000.

  The  Company  sold  substantially  all  of  the  net  assets  of  four  of its
hospital-based MRI facilities and its Ultrasound Division to DHS effective March
1, 1997. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $8.3 million.  As of March
31, 1997,  approximately $7 million in cash was received from DHS; an additional
receivable  was  set up in  March  1997  for  the  remaining  sale  proceeds  of
approximately  $8.45 million which were received in April 1997. The sale reduced
net property and equipment  approximately $9.3 million, notes and capital leases
payable  approximately $7.5 million and net goodwill and other intangible assets
approximately $4.6 million.

[1] Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant  accounting  policies of Diagnostic  Imaging Services,  Inc. and its
subsidiaries  are set forth in the  Company's  Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended
December 31, 1997 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company  adopted  Statement of
Position ["SOP"] No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities." As a
result of the decision,  the Company reduced historical net organizational costs
and capitalized fees by approximately $602,000. The effect of this change was to
decrease  income  before net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 by
$.05 per share.

[2] Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  interim  consolidated  financial  statements are unaudited and
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
and the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and Rule  310-b of  Regulation  S-B and,
therefore,  do not include all  information  and footnotes  necessary for a fair
presentation  of financial  position,  results of  operations  and cash flows in
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] which are necessary in
order to make the  financial  statements  not  misleading  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 read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
notes thereto contained in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

[3] Intangible Assets

The  Company's  goodwill  of  $1,943,325  as of March  31,  1998 is shown net of
accumulated amortization of $416,580.  Amortization expense for the three months
ended  March  31,  1998  and  1997  was   approximately   $53,000  and  $62,000,
respectively.

Other  Intangible  Assets consist of covenants not to compete.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1998, the Company wrote-off approximately $602,000 in net
organizational  costs and capitalized  loan fees when it adopted AcSEC's SOP No.
98-5,  "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up  Activities." The Company's covenants
not to  compete of  $91,667  as of March 31,  1998 are shown net of  accumulated
amortization of $458,333.  Amortization expense for the three months ended March
31,  1998  and  1997  was  approximately  $43,000  and  $71,000,   respectively.
Approximately   $19,000  of  net  capitalized  loan  fees  were  written-off  in
conjunction with the sale to DHS.

[4] Due from Related Party

On  April  18,  1997,  DIS  loaned  Primedex  Health   Systems,   Inc.   ["PHS"]
approximately $5,500,000 with interest at 10% due and payable on or before March
31, 1998. As of March 31, 1998,  PHS still owed DIS  approximately  $730,000 for
the loan. DIS further extended the loan on a month-to-month  basis providing PHS
continues to pay interest on the outstanding balance due.

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  PHS  assumed  DIS's West L.A.
capital lease obligation of approximately $892,000 [excluding sales tax] for the
MRI  equipment  at the  closed  center.  The net book  value of the  assets  was
approximately  $905,000. In addition, DIS acquired a phased array system for SCV
from PHS for  approximately  $130,000,  while PHS acquired  other  miscellaneous
medical equipment from DIS for approximately $45,000.

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
["TVIC"]. 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.  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 was the general  partner and 75% owner of VROC until
the  remaining  25% interest was  purchased by DIS for $260,000  during the year
ended December 31, 1997. 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.  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 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"].  In February 1995, DIS purchased the outstanding  limited partnership
units of Santa Monica  Imaging Center  ["SMIC"] and became its general  partner.
The remaining  interest in SMIC was purchased for $300,000 in 1997. 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  beginning in
mid-1998.

Background [Continued]

As of March 31, 1998,  through various  transactions  with related and unrelated
parties,  PHS  acquired  an  additional  5,855,477  shares of DIS  common  stock
bringing its total  ownership  to 8,602,970  shares,  or  approximately  75%. In
subsequent  purchases through June 12, 1998, PHS acquired an additional  245,000
shares of DIS common stock from unrelated parties increasing its total ownership
to 8,847,970 shares, or approximately 77%.

In May 1996,  Integrated  Cardiovascular  Systems,  Inc. ["ICVS"] was sold to an
unaffiliated  third party.  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.

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 January 1,
1998,  the Company sold its share of SCV to  Diagnostic  Health  Services,  Inc.
["DHS"] for 127,250 shares of DHS stock. As of the transaction  date, the shares
were valued at $1,431,563  and recorded as marketable  securities  held for sale
[See Note 7].

Effective March 1, 1997, the Company sold the assets and related  liabilities of
four of its hospital-based MRI facilities [Tarzana, SGV, Chino and SMIC] and its
Ultrasound  Division to DHS for  $14,972,720 in cash including  $1,000,000 for a
ten-year  covenant  not-to-compete  [classified  as  "Deferred  Revenue"  on the
financial  statements].  In addition,  a discounted  receivable of approximately
$1,190,000 was recorded for three  post-closing  payments of $500,000 each to be
made by DHS to DIS on the first,  second and third  anniversaries of the closing
date.  There was also an option to receive  these  post-closing  payments in the
form of DHS common  stock  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"]  [See Note 7]. 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  which
was closed in 1997.
The assets and related liabilities of WLA were assumed by PHS.

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.

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  and  future  business  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 a
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-QSB,  the inclusion of
such information  should not be regarded as a  representation  by the Company or

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

Results of Operations

For the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the Company had  operating
losses of approximately $545,000 and $535,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the Company had net revenue
of approximately  $2,520,000 and $4,735,000,  respectively.  The decrease in net
revenue was  primarily  attributable  to the sales of the  Company's  Ultrasound
Division  and four of its  hospital-based  MRI sites to DHS  effective  March 1,
1997,  the sale of SCV to DHS  effective  January  1,  1998 and the  closure  of
Parkside and West L.A. during 1997.

The  combined  net  revenues for the "DHS sold" sites for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 was  approximately  $1,845,000.  The  combined  net  revenues for
Parkside  and West L.A.  for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
approximately  $150,000 and  $640,000,  respectively.  Parkside  Women's  Center
continues to operate in 1998. In addition,  the Company  wrote-down  some of its
historical accounts receivable by approximately $225,000 during the three months
ended March 31,  1998.  Net revenue  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998
increased  for the  remaining  active sites by  approximately  $350,000 from the
prior year's three month period.

Total  expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998 and  1997  were
approximately $3,065,000 and $5,270,000,  respectively. As with net revenue, the
primary  reason for the decrease in  operating  expenses was due to the sales to
DHS and the closures of Parkside and West L.A.. The combined  operating expenses
for the  "DHS  sold"  sites  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 was
approximately $1,200,000. The combined operating expenses for the "closed" sites
for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was  approximately  $190,000
and  $610,000,  respectively.  General  and  Administrative  expenses  decreased
approximately  $470,000 in 1998  primarily  due to  reductions  in salaries  and
outside accounting and legal services.  Depreciation and amortization  decreased
approximately  $370,000 in 1998 primarily due to the write-off of organizational
costs and capitalized  fees, the closure of Parkside and West L.A. and the sales
to DHS.

For the three  months  ended  March  31,  1998 and 1997,  interest  expense  was
approximately $360,000 and $685,000,  respectively.  Interest expense of DIS was
primarily attributable to equipment financing and lines of credit charges. DIS's
line of credit  with DVI was paid in full in late  1997.  For the  three  months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  interest  income was  approximately  $70,000 and
$130,000,  respectively.  In 1998,  approximately $29,000 of interest income was
generated from PHS loans,  approximately  $39,000 of interest was generated from

accounts.  During 1997,  approximately $130,000 of interest income was generated
from the sale to DHS.

1998 and 1997 was approximately $1,085,000 and $6,715,000,  respectively. During
the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  the  Company  was  repaid  by  PHS
approximately  $1,175,000 for prior loans and the Company purchased property and
equipment  for  approximately  $90,000.  During the three months ended March 31,
1997,  the  Company  received  approximately  $7,020,000  from  the  sale of its
Ultrasound  Division to DHS,  purchased property and equipment for approximately
$230,000  and made  payments  for  deposits  and other  assets of  approximately
$75,000.

Company made  principal  payments on notes and capital  leases of  approximately
$4,260,000,  received  proceeds from joint venture partners of $175,000 and made
payments  to related  parties of  approximately  $1,620,000.  The  reduction  in
payments for notes and capital leases payable corresponds to the decrease in the
outstanding  balances for each period.  As of December 31, 1996,  the  Company's
outstanding  obligations for notes and capital leases payable was  approximately
$30,150,000.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company's  outstanding  obligations  for

Liquidity and Capital Resources [Continued]

At March 31, 1998, the Company had a net working  capital deficit of $1,516,473,
an increase of $1,480,601  from December 31, 1997. A key reason for the increase

                                     PART II


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

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

On June 4, 1997,  the Company 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. The
complaint  alleges that the Company  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 the  Company's  imaging
centers and its ultrasound  business to Diagnostic  Health Services,  Inc., that
the Company 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 Company's Common
Stock exercisable at $.01 per share which plaintiff  received in connection with
Company's  acquisition of its Santa Monica facility to either $1,000,000 cash or
stock with a market value of  $1,000,000  at the  election of the  Company.  The
Company  denies  each and every  allegation  and  intends to  vigorously  defend
against the legal action.

A partial settlement was reached in August 1997. Pursuant to the settlement, Dr.
Dalrymple assumed the ownership of Parkside Radiology and assumed responsibility
for  expenses  of the  facility in the future.  Additionally,  the Company  sold
certain  of its  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  to Dr.  Dalrymple  for
approximately  $400,000.  Plaintiff's remaining claims, as well as the Company's
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 the
Company at a depressed  price,  are still in dispute.  Discovery  is ongoing and
trial is scheduled  for November 16, 1998. It is too soon to predict the outcome
of this matter.  The Company  intends to vigorously  defend against  plaintiff's
claims and to pursue its cross-claims in the action.

On or about June 7, 1998,  the Company  received a demand for  arbitration  from
Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, successor to the x-ray film business of E.I. DuPont
de Nemours.  Claimant  seeks  recovery of $5,000,000 for an alleged breach of an
agreement to purchase film from the claimant.  The Company has just received the
demand but  believes  it has  reasonable  defenses  to the claim and  intends to
vigorously defend the matter.

Item 5.  Other Information

In February 1998,  effective  January 1, 1998, the Company sold its  partnership
interest in Scripps  Chula Vista MRI, LP to  Diagnostic  Health  Services,  Inc.
["DHS"] for shares of DHS common  stock.  On May 15, 1998,  the Company sold the
shares and received approximately $1,230,000.

In April 1998,  the Company  elected to receive the  $1,5000,000 in post closing
payments  related to the previous  sale of certain MRI  facilities to DHS in the
form of DHS common  stock  which the  Company  sold on May 8, 1998 and  received
approximately $1,850,000.

The Company is currently a party to other litigation, none of which is deemed by
management to be material in nature.
