                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
   U.S. Diagnostic Labs Inc.



                  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of
the Allegheny Open MRI/CT Group and its affiliates as of December 31, 1995,
and the related combined statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.

                  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
position of the Allegheny Open MRI/CT Group and its affiliates as of December
31, 1995, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

[1] DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY - Allegheny Open MRI/CT Group [the "Partnerships"]
is engaged in the ownership of medical services facilities. These facilities
are located in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and provide a variety of
medical diagnostic testing and evaluation services and procedures, including
magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography scanning.

COMBINATION POLICY - The accompanying combined financial statements include
the accounts of the Partnerships and its affiliates. Intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in the combined financial statements. Listed
below are each of the partnerships included in the combined financial
statements:

Centre Common MRI, Ltd.
Jefferson MRI, Ltd.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of West PA, Ltd.
South Hill Computerized Tomography Associates, Ltd.
Monroeville Imaging Center, Ltd.
Pittsburgh Computerized Tomography Associates, Ltd.

[2] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The
carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the double-declining method
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease
term. The equipment used by the Partnerships is technologically sophisticated
and subject to accelerated obsolescence in the event of significant
technological change.

NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE - Net revenues are reported at the estimated net
realizable amounts from patients, third-party payors and others for services
rendered including estimated prospectively determined adjustments under
reimbursement agreements with third-party payors. These adjustments are
accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related services are rendered
and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. It is
management's policy not to require collateral as a condition for service.

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, contractual adjustments
amounted to approximately $4,620,606 and $4,285,189, respectively.

PRO FORMA [UNAUDITED] INCOME TAX EFFECT - The pro forma effects of income tax
expense as if the entity had been a C corporation are shown below. The pro
forma tax amounts have been computed based on an effective tax rate of 40% in
effect for the respective years ended December 31st.

[2] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [CONTINUED]

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

[3] FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Effective December 31, 1995, the Partnerships adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, which requires disclosing fair value to the
extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or
unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments
is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or
settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of
realization or settlement. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates the fair value due to
the short maturities of such investments. The carrying value of long-term debt
approximates its fair value because the borrowing rate approximates the
Partnership's cost of capital.

[4] PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The following is a summary of property and equipment as of December 31, 1995:

                                                                   Estimated

[6] RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnerships have agreements with physicians who are limited partners of

[7] COMMITMENTS

The Partnerships have noncancelable operating leases for use of their
facilities and a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. These leases may require
payment of various expenses as additional rent. Certain leases contain renewal
options and escalation clauses.

Minimum future rental payments under noncancelable operating leases having
remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1995 for each of the
next five years and in the aggregate are:

December 31,                                              Amount
- ------------                                              ------

     1996                                             $  430,417

     -----                                            ==========

Minimum obligations do not include future rental payments for one center which
is allocated a portion of the rent from a related party which is contractually
obligated. Such amounts would increase the minimum obligation by $67,500 for
each respective year from 1996 to 2000 and $32,700 thereafter. Rent expense
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 under various operating leases

The Partnerships have comprehensive maintenance contracts with its equipment
vendors for the magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography and other
diagnostic medical equipment. The terms of these contracts are between one and
five years, but may be canceled by the Partnerships under certain
circumstances.

[8] CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Partnerships' laboratories and imaging centers grant credit without
collateral to its patients, most of whom are residents of the laboratories'
respective area and are insured under third-party payor agreements. The
Partnerships routinely assesses the financial strength of its patients and
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its
accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The mix of receivables from third-party payors and patients are as follows:

                                                           December 31,

[8] CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK [CONTINUED]

The Partnerships maintain cash balance at several institutions in the
Pittsburgh area. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 1995, the
Partnerships' uninsured cash balance totaled $263,413.

[9] PENSION PLAN

The Partnerships offer a Pension Plan [the "Plan"] to full-time employees who
have completed one year of service and have reached the age of 21. The Plan
consists solely of the Partnership contributions that are a percentage of the
participant's pay based upon the level of compensation. The Partnerships'
contributions to the Plan during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
was $48,377 and $28,212, respectively.

[10] INCOME TAXES

Allegheny Open MRI/CT Group is exempt from income taxes under provisions of
federal and state income tax law. Under those provisions, the partners are
liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective share
of the Partnerships' taxable income. Therefore, no provision for federal and
state income taxes is reflected.

[11] LITIGATION

The Partnerships are subject to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business. Management after review and consultation with counsel, believes it
has meritorious defenses and considers that any potential outcome from these
matters would not materially affect the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Partnerships.

[12] SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 6, 1996, the Partnerships entered into a letter of intent for a
proposed sale of the assets and liabilities of the Partnerships to U.S.
Diagnostic Labs Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17
million. The letter of intent is subject to the final negotiation and
execution of a definitive acquisition agreement between the Partnerships and
U.S. Diagnostic Labs Inc.
