ITEM 2 -  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition.  This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     For the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1997:

     Revenues for Modern Medical Modalities Corporation and subsidiaries
aggregated $2,223,000 in 1998 as compared to $2,718,000 in 1997.  The decrease
in revenues (18.2%) is attributable to a decrease in patient service revenues of
approximately $290,000 primarily resulting from the sale of Somerset Medical
Equipment Leasing Corp., and increased competition.  The decrease in marketing
fees of approximately $205,000 resulted from contracts that have expired.

     Operating expenses for 1998 were $2,266,000 as compared to $2,287,000 in
1997.  This decrease of $21,000 results from approximately $307,000 as the
result of the sale of Somerset Medical Equipment Leasing Corp. and cost
reductions designed to offset other losses in patient service revenues and
marketing fees.  This was off-set by increases in cost related to the
acquisition and start-up of Open MRI in Metaire. 

INTEREST EXPENSE:

     Interest expense increased approximately $74,000 when comparing 1998 and
1997. This increase is attributable to the financing of various equipment and
the acquisition and start-up of Open MRI of Metaire.  This site opened for
business in February 1998.

LOSS ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY:

     Effective June 1, 1998, the Company sold its 35% interest in Central
Imaging of Yonkers, N.Y. incurring a loss on the sale of $743,000.  The loss
consisted of unrecoverable investment in and advances to Central Imaging.

LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY:

     During June 1998, the Company exercised its option to return its 50.2%
interest in a diagnostic imaging center located in Sylvania, Ohio.  The $168,000
represents unrecoverable working capital advances made to that center.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1997:

     Revenues for Modern Medical Modalities Corporation and subsidiaries
aggregated $4,020,000 in 1998 as compared to $5,514,000 in 1997.  The decrease
in revenues of approximately $1,495,000 is attributable to a decrease in patient
service revenues of approximately $1,242,000 primarily resulting from the sale
of Somerset Medical Equipment Leasing Corp. in the third quarter of 1997, and
marketing fees of approximately $253,000 resulting from contracts that expired.

     Operating expenses for 1998 were $4,676,000 as compared to $4,411,000 for
1997.  This increase of approximately $265,000 resulted from an increase in
operating expenses as a result of the acquisition of start-up of Open MRI in
Metaire in the first quarter of 1998.  These costs were partially off-set by
cost reduction during the second quarter in reaction to reduced marketing fees
and patient service revenues.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

     Interest expense increased approximately $34,000 when comparing 1998 and
1997. This increase is attributable to the financing of various equipment and
the acquisition and start-up of Open MRI of Metaire.  This site opened for
business in February 1998.

LOSS ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY:

     Effective June 1, 1998, the Company sold its 35% interest in Central
Imaging of Yonkers, N.Y. incurring a loss on the sale of $743,000.  The loss
consisted of unrecoverable investment in and advances to Central Imaging.

LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY:

     During June 1998, the Company exercised its option to return its 50.2%
interest in a diagnostic imaging center located in Sylvania, Ohio.  The $168,000
represents unrecoverable working capital advances made to that center.

RESTRUCTURING OF NOTE RECEIVABLE:

     On March 3, 1998, the Company restructured the promissory note receivable
for the sale of Prime Contracting Corp. to a related party as follows:  $200,000
in cash payable over 36 months, plus interest calculated at prime plus 1% and a
36 month option to purchase 250,000 shares of the related party stock at $.05. 
The Company recorded a loss from note receivable restructuring in the amount of
$748,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     The Company has a working capital deficiency of $805,000 at June 30, 1998
as compared to a working capital surplus of $995,000 at December 31, 1997.  The
loss on sale of subsidiary reduced working capital approximately $681,000 and
the restructuring of the note receivable for the sale of Prime Contracting Corp.
reduced working capital by $748,000 through June 30, 1998.

     On May 7, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 70% of its
72% ownership of Open MRI of Morristown, Joint Venture (Open MRI) for $300,000. 
The terms required $100,000 payable at signing, and monthly payments in the
amount of $50,000 on May 1, June 1, July 1 and August 1, 1998.  The Company
retained the option to repurchase from the buyers, ADS Investment Corp. and Oak
Knoll Management Corporation (related party), the 70% interest upon payment of
$50,000 plus all prior payments and any additional costs incurred by the buyers.
The option expires on August 31, 1998.

     On August 20, 1998, the Company, ADS Investment Corp. and Oak Knoll
Management Corporation (related party) modified the original agreement from a
sale to a loan.  The terms of the new agreement are as follows:  a loan in the
amount of $300,000, with interest due and payable at 12% per annum, secured by
70% of the Company's 72% ownership of Open MRI.  The loan is due and payable on
September 30, 1998.  The agreement also requires the personal guarantees made by
the lenders to DVI Business Credit Corporation on behalf of the Company be
replaced by September 30, 1998, as a condition of satisfactory settlement of the
loan.

     For services rendered between May 7, 1998 and the date of maturity of this
loan, all distributions made to the lending parties by Open MRI will remain the
property of the lending parties.

     These are the only trends, commitments, events and/or material
uncertainties known to the Company.


<PAGE>

VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

     The Company values its uncollected accounts receivable as part of its
determination of profit.  The Company constantly reviews the accounts receivable
valuation.  The continuing monthly review, gathering of additional information,
as well as changing reimbursement rate, may cause adjustments to the accounts
receivable valuation.

HEALTHCARE SYSTEM:

     It is management's belief that the United States healthcare is in a state
of change and will continue so for the next several years.  Management believes
that small medical group practices are referring and will continue to refer
patients to free standing centers as an alternative to costly hospital care as
the cost of the medical equipment and the patient volume needed to justify the
expenditure is not practical for individual and small group practices.  The
Company's providing MRI and CT scans for these physicians in these free standing
centers offers, in management's opinion, an attractive method for these
practices to protect eroding income, offer state-of-the-art technology and
maintain patient loyalty.

LEGISLATION:

     Legislation has been passed in some states that will restrict the
physicians in joining joint ventures such as those of the Company.  In New
Jersey, any site already in existence has been excluded from this legislation. 
This legislation was enacted in July 1991.

     Federal guidelines also known as "Safe Harbor" guidelines have been
established that will limit physicians to the number of Medicare patients they
can refer to an outpatient facility in which they have a financial interest.

     A commission has been appointed by the Federal government to review the
delivery of healthcare on a national level.  Although many alternatives have
been discussed, it is impossible to determine at this time what charges will be
enacted or the affect on the Company's business.

     In order to curb the potential for fraud and abuse under the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, Congress has enacted certain laws (the Anti-Kickback Laws")
prohibiting the payment or receipt any remuneration in return for the referral
of patients to a healthcare provider for the furnishing of medical services of
equipment, the payment for which may be made in whole or in part by the Medicare
or Medicaid programs.  It should be noted that the Anti-Kickback Laws apply to
both sides of the referral relationship:  the provider making the referral and
the provider receiving the referral.

     Violation of the Anti-Kickback Laws is a criminal felony punishable by
fines up to $25,000 and/or up to five years imprisonment for each violation. 
Federal law also permits the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") to
assess civil fines against violators of the Anti-Kickback Laws and to exclude
them from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  These civil
sanctions can be imposed in proceedings that do not involve the same procedural
requirements and standards of proof as would be required in a criminal trial. 
Even though the Joint Ventures have physician investors, the Anti-Kickback laws
will not have an effect on the Company's operations because the Company does not
bill Medicare and Medicaid for medical services as it only leases equipment.

     HHS has proposed regulations specifying "safe harbors" for various payment
practices between healthcare providers and their referral sources.  If a payment
practice were to come within the safe harbor, it would not be treated as an
illegal Medicare/Medicaid kickback which is a ground for exclusion from the
Medicare/Medicaid programs.  While failure to fall within a safe harbor does not
mean that the practice is illegal, HHS had indicated that it may give such
arrangements closer scrutiny.  In their present proposed form, no safe harbor

LEGISLATION: (cont.)

would cover an investment interest in the Company.  It is likely that this bill
will be reintroduced in future sessions.  The Company cannot predict whether
these regulatory or statutory provisions will be enacted by federal or state
authorities which would prohibit or otherwise regulate referrals by physicians
to the Company thereby having a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations.

     The "Stark Bill" extends the prohibition against physician self-referral,
which had previously been applicable only to clinical laboratory services, to
several additional services, but also sets forth several exceptions to the ban,
which the following outlines:  In general, the Stark Bill provides that a
physician with an ownership or investment interest in or a compensation
agreement with an entity is prohibited from making referrals to that entity for
the furnishing of designated health services for which Medicare, payment would
otherwise be made.  Designated health services under the Stark Bill include (1)
clinical laboratory services; (2) physical therapy services; (3) occupational
therapy services; (4) radiology or other diagnostic services; (5) radiology
therapy services; (6) the furnishing of durable medical equipment; (7) parental
and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies; (8) prosthetics, orthotics and
prosthetic devices (9) home health services; (10) outpatient prescription drugs;
and (11) inpatient and outpatient hospital services.  This bill is effective for
referrals made on or after January 1, 1992, for clinical laboratory services;
and effective for referrals made after December 31, 1994, in the case of other
designated health services.  While this bill has not affected the Company at
this time, it may have an adverse effect limiting Medicare and Medicaid
referrals by physicians who are investors in the Joint Venture.

     In 1991, New Jersey enacted the Health Care Cost Reduction Act, or 
so-called "Codey Bill", (N.J.S.A. 45: 9-22.4 et seq.) which provided in part 
that a medical practitioner shall not refer a patient, or direct one of its 
employees to refer a patient, to a health care service in which the 
practitioner and/or the practitioner's immediate family had any beneficial 
interest.  The bill specifically provided that for beneficial interests which 
were created prior to the effective date of the Act, July 31, 1991, the 
practitioner could continue to refer patients, or direct an employee to do 
so, if the practitioner disclosed such interest to his patients.  The 
disclosure must take the form of a sign posted in a conspicuous place in the 
practitioner's office informing the patients of such interest and stating 
that a listing of alternative healthcare service providers could be found in 
the telephone directory.  All physicians who refer to the Company's sites in 
New Jersey and also have a financial interest in those sites have a sign 
posted as mandated by the law.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT








To the Board of Directors
Modern Medical Modalities Corp.

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Modern Medical Modalities 
Corp. and Subsidiaries as at June 30, 1998, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations, and cash flows for the six months then ended, in 
accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services 
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial
information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Modern Medical Modalities Corp. and
Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not
presently herein, and in our report dated April 17, 1998, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as at
June 30, 1998 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

                  Modern Medical Modalities Corporation (the "Company") was
         incorporated in the State of New Jersey on December 6, 1989. The
         Company provides high technology medical equipment and management
         services to hospitals and physicians.

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medical Marketing and
         Management, Inc., Somerset Imaging Corporation, South Plainfield
         Imaging, Inc., Medi-Corp., USA, South Jersey Medical Equipment Leasing
         Corp., Amherst Medical Equipment Leasing Corp., Open MRI of Morristown,
         Inc., West Paterson Medical Equipment Leasing Corp., Ohio Medical
         Equipment Leasing Corporation, its majority owned subsidiaries,
         Sylvania Diagnostics L.P., (in which the Company had a 50.2% interest
         which was disposed of on June 30, 1998) and Metairie Medical Equipment
         Leasing Corp., a 100% owned subsidiary which was incorporated in June
         1997, and its majority owned joint ventures, Plainfield MRI Associates,
         Joint Venture, MRI Imaging Center at PBI, Open MRI of Morristown, Joint
         Venture and Doctors Imaging Associates, Joint Venture. The Company has
         an 84%, 75%, 72%, and 50% interest, respectively, in the joint ventures
         and by contract manages the joint ventures, in which it is the managing
         joint venturer and it has unilateral control. Investment in an
         unconsolidated minority-owned subsidiary, Empire State Imaging
         Associates, Inc., which was sold on June 30, 1998, in which the Company
         had a 35% interest and significant influence, was accounted for under
         the equity method. Investment in an unconsolidated joint venture, Union
         Imaging Associates, Joint Venture in which the Company has a 10%
         interest and significant influence, is accounted for under the equity
         method. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have
         been eliminated in the consolidation.

                  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
         and footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all
         required disclosures. Reference should be made to the Company's annual
         financial statement filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1997.

                  The financial statements for the six month periods ended June
         30, 1998 and 1997 have not been audited. In the opinion of management,
         the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring
         adjustments and accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial
         position of the Company as at June 30, 1998 and the results of its
         operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and
         statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998
         and 1997. The results for the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
         1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the full year.

                  The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
         in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual
         Financial Statement filed on form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1997, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is
         made to this report for a description of the Company's securities and
         the notes to financial statements included therein.

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

                  The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, short-term
         notes receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate
         fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments and the
         provision for what management believes to be adequate reserves for
         potential losses. It was not practical to estimate the fair value of
         long-term notes receivable and long-term debt because quoted market
         prices do not exist and an estimate could not be made through other
         means without incurring excessive costs.

                  Certain items in the 1997 financial statements have been
         reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation. These
         reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, net income
         or stockholders' equity for the periods presented.

NOTE 2--EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE.

                  Earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income
         (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock
         equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

                  Common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding
         include shares issued within one year of an initial public offering
         (IPO), at a price below the IPO price, as outstanding for all periods
         presented. Earnings per share -- diluted for the six months ended June
         30, 1998 is not presented in the consolidated statements of operations
         since it is not dilutive.

NOTE 3--ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY.

                  On December 27, 1996, the Company entered into a stock
         purchase agreement with a related party to sell 65% of the capital
         stock of Empire State Imaging Associates, Inc. ("Empire") for $250,000,
         payable as follows: $25,000 at the closing and nine equal monthly
         installments of $25,000 plus interest at prime plus 1%. The company has
         recorded an increase of $165,631 to stockholders' equity which
         represents the excess of the sale price over the net assets of Empire.
         On June 30, 1998, the Company and its affiliate sold all the
         outstanding stock of Empire to MID Rockland Imaging Partners, Inc., an
         unrelated party, for the principal sum of $2,500,000. The Company
         recorded a loss on this transaction in the amount of $742,619.

                  In February 1997, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Open
         MRI and Diagnostic Services of Toms River, Inc. In March 1997, the
         Company entered into a contract for the sale of its stock in this
         entity resulting in a gain of $252,076. The proceeds are payable as
         follows: 25% at closing and a note for 75%, bearing interest at 11% per
         annum, payable in monthly installments commencing 90 days after the
         facility opens for business.

                  On July 1, 1996, the Company through its wholly-owned
         subsidiary, Ohio Medical Equipment Leasing Corporation ("OME")
         purchased a 50.2% interest in Sylvania Diagnostics, LP ("Sylvania") for
         one dollar. If the Company determines that operating Sylvania is not
         profitable, DVI will purchase Sylvania for one dollar. On June 30,
         1998, the Company exercised its option and sold Sylvania back to DVI
         for one dollar. As a result of this disposition, the Company recorded a
         loss in the amount of $168,064

NOTE 4--RESTRUCTURING OF NOTE RECEIVABLE

                  On March 3, 1998 the Company restructured the promissory note
         receivable for the sale of Prime Contracting Corp. to a related party
         as follows: $ 200,000 in cash payable over 36 months, plus interest
         calculated at prime plus 1% and a 36 month option to purchase 250,000
         shares of the related party stock at $ 0.05. The Company recorded a
         loss from note receivable restructuring in the amount of $747,650.

NOTE 10--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

                  On May 7, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to sell
         70% of its 72% ownership of Open MRI of Morristown, Joint Venture
         ("Open MRI") for $300,000. The terms required $100,000 payable at
         signing, and monthly payments in the amount of $50,000 on May 1, June
         1, July 1 and August 1, 1998. The Company retained the option to
         repurchase from the buyers, ADS Investment Corp. and Oak Knoll
         Management Corporation (related party), the 70% interest upon payment
         of $50,000 plus all prior payments and any additional costs incurred by
         the buyers. The option expires on August 31, 1998.

                  On August 20, 1998, the Company, ADS Investment Corp. and Oak
         Knoll Management Corporation (related party) modified the original
         agreement from a sale to a loan. The terms of the new agreement are as
         follows: a loan in the amount of $300,000, with interest due and
         payable at 12% per annum, secured by 70% of the Company's 72% ownership
         of Open MRI. The loan is due and payable on September 30, 1998. The
         agreement also requires the personal guarantees made by the lenders to
         DVI Business Credit Corporation on behalf of the Company be replaced by
         September 30, 1998, as a condition of satisfactory settlement of the
         loan.

                  For services rendered between May 7, 1998 and the date of
         maturity of this loan, all distributions made to the lending parties by
         Open MRI will remain the property of the lending parties.
