                         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
U.S. Imaging, Inc. and Subsidiaries and L.E. Richey & Associates as of
December 31, 1995, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audit.

                  We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 U.S. Imaging, Inc. and Subsidiaries and L.E. Richey & Associates
as of December 31, 1995, and the combined results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

[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 AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term. The
equipment used by the Company 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 year ended December 31, 1995, contractual adjustments amounted to
approximately $5,842,000.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS - The cost of intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the period the Company expects to receive benefits as
follows:

                                                                  Years

[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 Company 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.

In assessing the fair value of these financial statements, the Company used a
variety of methods and assumptions, which were based on estimates of market
conditions and risks existing at that time. For certain instruments, including
cash and cash equivalents, and short-term debt, it was assumed that the
carrying amount approximated fair value for the majority of these instruments
because of their short maturities. The fair value of long-term debt is based
on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar
remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its
carrying value.

The Company maintains cash balances at several institutions in the Houston
area. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 1995, the Company's
uninsured cash balance totaled $78,110.

[11] PENSION PLAN

The Company offers 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
provides for discretionary Company and employee contributions. The Company's
contributions to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 1995 was $5,646.

[12] INCOME TAXES

U.S. Imaging, Inc. has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 ["SFAS 109"], "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability
method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Since the Company prepares and files its federal and state tax returns using
the cash method of accounting, its taxable income is substantially different
from its income under generally accepted accounting principles. The deferred
tax liability is principally caused by increased accounts receivable balances
which will generate future taxable income.

                                                                 --------------

   TOTAL                                                         $    1,074,309
   -----                                                         ==============

L.E. Richey & Associates has elected to be taxed as a sole proprietorship
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the
owner is liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the
proprietorship's taxable income. Therefore, no provision for federal and state
income taxes is reflected.

[13] LITIGATION

The Company is 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, statement of
operations and statement of cash flows of the Company.

[14] NEW AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ["FASB"] issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ["SFAS"] No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," in October 1995. SFAS No. 123 uses a fair value based method of
accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments as contrasted to
the intrinsic valued based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board ["APB"] Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." The Company has not decided if it will adopt SFAS No. 123 or
continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 for financial reporting purposes. SFAS
No. 123 will have to be adopted for financial statement note disclosure
purposes. The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123, if adopted by the
Partnerships, will be effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years
that begin after December 15, 1995; the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.
123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.

[15] SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 4, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with
U.S. Diagnostic Labs Inc. ["USDL"], a public company. Provisions of the
agreement state that effective January 1, 1996, all shares of the company
stock shall be converted into and represent the right to receive 1,671,000
shares of USDL common stock and $7,000,000 of cash. A portion of the shares
issued [671,000] have been placed in escrow and their release is contingent
upon the achievement of certain earnings' levels.
