(3)  NET LOSS PER SHARE:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
Common share equivalents are not included in the net loss per share
calculations, since they are anti-dilutive. Warrants and options to purchase
1,651,102 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding as of June 30,
1999 and could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in future periods if
the Company generates net income.


(4)  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive loss was
$2,073,000 and $1,930,000, respectively. There was no accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

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

Overview

Vital Images, Inc. (the "Company" or "Vital Images") develops and markets
visualization and analysis software for clinical diagnosis, surgical planning
and medical research. The Company's technology, which utilizes high-speed
visualization and analysis, as well as network communications based on DICOM and
Internet protocols, cost-effectively brings 3D visualization and analysis into
the routine, day-to-day practice of medicine. The Company, which operates in a
single business segment, markets its products to healthcare providers and to
manufacturers of diagnostic imaging systems through a direct sales force in the
United States and independent distributors in international markets.

Revenue

Revenue was $1,120,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with
$986,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a 14% increase. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999 revenue was $2,860,000 compared with $1,752,000 in
the comparable six month period of the prior year, a 63% increase. These
increases were primarily the result of volume increases in shipments of
Vitrea(R), the Company's flagship medical visualization and analysis product for
radiological and surgical applications in the clinical market. Software and
hardware revenue from the Vitrea platform totaled $765,000 and $2,118,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared with
$604,000 and $1,092,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. The Vitrea platform includes hardware and software revenue from
both Vitrea and Advanced 3DI(TM). Advanced 3DI is the Company's visualization
and analysis product for the ultrasound market. There was also an increase in
maintenance and services revenue related to Vitrea sales for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared with the comparable periods last year.

The Company's largest customer, Toshiba of America Medical Systems ("Toshiba"),
recently began marketing and selling a new high-speed computed tomography
scanner, the Aquilion(TM). The Company anticipated Toshiba would be shipping the
Aquilion in greater quantities in the first quarter of 1999. However, Toshiba
has only recently begun delivering the Aquilion to its customers in quantities
and has many scanner purchases on backorder or near the end of the sales
process. This had the effect of delaying expected shipments of Vitrea software
and hardware to be purchased in conjunction with Toshiba scanners during the
second quarter of 1999 until future periods.

It is expected that, in general, total revenue will continue to increase in
future periods due to increased sales of Vitrea software and systems. However,
actual annual and quarterly results could vary materially from the foregoing
forward-looking statement as a result of increasing competition or the timing of
future releases of Vitrea software. In addition, there may be fluctuations from
quarter-to-quarter due to the introduction of new scanner technology, the timing
of purchases by the Company's major customers and other issues that impact the
purchasing patterns of the Company's customers.

                                       8

Gross Margin

The gross margin percentage increased from 71% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, to 76% and 75% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively, primarily as a result of economies of scale in the cost of
revenue structure related to license fees and maintenance and services revenue.
The Company anticipates that as software and hardware revenue from Vitrea
continues as a significant proportion of the Company's product mix, the overall
gross margin percentage will approximate the results of this quarter.  This
forward-looking statement will be influenced primarily by vendor discounts on
the third party hardware and peripheral components of the Vitrea system and on
the Company's product mix.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $993,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 from $700,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a 42%
increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales and marketing expenses
increased 39%, to $1,862,000 from $1,340,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. The increases were primarily due to increased compensation costs as a
result of increased sales commission and additional personnel, as well as
increases in travel expenses related to selling and promoting the Vitrea product
and increases in market research and depreciation expenses.  The Company expects
sales and marketing costs to increase in future periods as a result of the cost
of additional sales personnel and increased marketing and promotional expenses
for Vitrea.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased 72% to $635,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, compared with $369,000 for the same period last year.  For
the six month period ended June 30, 1999, research and development expenses
increased 40% to $1,254,000 from $898,000 for the comparable period in the prior
year.  The increases were primarily due to increased compensation costs
resulting from additional personnel and a decrease in the reimbursement of
engineering costs pursuant to a software development contract with ATL
Ultrasound, Inc.  The Company anticipates that research and development costs
will increase in future periods as future releases of Vitrea software are
developed.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased to $556,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, from $475,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a
17% increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 1999, general and
administrative expenses increased 8%, to $1,156,000 from $1,075,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.  For both the three and six months ended June 30,
1999, compensation costs increased primarily as a result of staffing additions.
There were also increases in recruiting costs, consulting fees and investor
relations expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 as
compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 1998.  These increases
were offset by decreases in legal expenses, bad debt expense and, for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, costs associated with the resignation of the
Company's former Chief Executive Officer in the first quarter of 1998.  The
Company also reduced the estimated accrued costs related to the closing of its
Iowa facility, resulting in lower expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, primarily due to negotiating an early termination of the lease
for that facility. The Company believes that general and administrative costs
will increase in future periods primarily due to increased compensation expense
for employees hired in 1998 that will be present for all of 1999 and additional
new hires in 1999.

Operating Losses

The increased expenses attributable to the development of the Company's
infrastructure and the continued development and promotion of the Vitrea
product, net of the increasing revenues from Vitrea shipments, resulted in
increased operating losses of $1,334,000 and $2,130,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared with operating losses of
$844,000 and $2,066,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively.

Interest Income

Interest income was $27,000 and $60,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 compared with $70,000 and $149,000 for the comparable periods in 1998.
The decreases in interest income were due to a lower balance of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities as a result of the use of cash to fund the
Company's operations.

Income Taxes

The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 consist solely of certain state minimum fees.  The Company has deferred tax
assets resulting primarily from net operating loss carryforwards for federal
income tax reporting purposes and unused research and development credits.  A
valuation allowance has been established to completely reserve for the deferred
tax assets of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $2,215,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's working capital was $1,707,000 and the Company had no material
borrowings.  In March 1999, the Company entered into a collateralized line of
credit agreement with a bank for $950,000. Borrowings under the agreement are
limited to the lower of $950,000 or the Company's borrowing base, which consists
of a specified percentage of certain accounts receivable.  The Company is also
required to maintain a cash and cash equivalents balance of at least $1,000,000
at the lending bank.  As of June 30, 1999, the Company's available borrowings
under the agreement were $543,000.

Cash flows used in operations increased to $1,628,000 in the first six months of
1999 from $1,539,000 in the first six months of 1998.  In both six-month periods
cash flows were used primarily to fund operating losses, which were partially
offset by non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization.  Increases in
prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased cash flow from operations,
while a decrease in accounts receivable increased cash flow from operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Decreases in prepaid expenses and other
current assets increased cash flows from operations, while an increase in
accounts receivable decreased cash flows from operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.  Increases in current liabilities, primarily due to
increases in accounts payable and deferred revenue, increased cash flows from
operations in the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Increases in current
liabilities, primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued payroll
and other current liabilities, increased cash flows from operations in the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

The increase in deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
primarily due to volume increases in Vitrea sales and the increase in accounts
payable was due primarily to costs related to these sales.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Net investing activities provided $1,784,000 of cash in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and $2,037,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1998, primarily
due to the conversion of marketable securities into cash. The Company added
property and equipment of $202,000 and $200,000 in the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily for computer equipment to accommodate the
increases in employee headcount.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $308,000 and $76,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as a result of proceeds from
the sales of common stock under stock option plans.

The Company has never paid or declared any cash dividend and does not intend to
pay dividends in the near future.  The Company has no current commitments for
material capital expenditures.  The Company expects to use cash in the near term
as it continues to develop the infrastructure to support its business and
develop the market for its products.

If the Company's operations progress as anticipated, of which there can be no
assurance, management believes that its cash and cash equivalents and borrowings
available under the credit agreement entered into in March 1999 should be
sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
However, if the Company continues to experience operating losses at its current
rate, the Company will need to raise additional capital within the next six to
twelve months. If additional capital is required, there can be no assurance that
such additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all, and the
failure to obtain any such capital would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business.

The Company has identified emerging market opportunities in radiological
screening and surgical planning applications and is exploring and evaluating
alternatives for raising additional capital to pursue these opportunities, as
well as to provide additional working capital.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Substantially all of the Company's foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced
and paid in U.S. dollars.

Year 2000 Readiness

Many computer programs and embedded computer chips are unable to distinguish
between the year 1900 and the year 2000.  Therefore, some computer hardware and
software will need to be modified prior to the year 2000 in order to remain
functional.  This is commonly known as the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue.

The Company has a formal program in place with an assigned Year 2000 project
team to ensure that its critical areas will operate normally at the turn of the
century. The goal of the Year 2000 team is to ensure that the Company's
equipment, systems and processes and those of its significant business partners
are sufficiently Year 2000 compliant such that no date/time issue will have any
material adverse impact on the products or services that the Company provides
its customers or the timely and accurate processing of transactions.

Throughout 1999, the Company will determine areas where contingency planning is
needed.  The planning efforts include, but are not limited to, identification
and mitigation of potential serious business interruptions and establishing
crisis response processes to address unexpected problems.

                                       11
<PAGE>

The project team has identified its Y2K risks in the following four categories:
Company products, financial software, embedded chip technology and non-financial
software, and noncompliance by suppliers and customers.

Company Products.  The Company has assessed the Y2K readiness of its software
products and has made the commitment that any product releases in 1999 and later
will be Y2K compliant.  The Company has posted a table detailing the Y2K
readiness status of its products on its website at www.vitalimages.com.
                                                   -------------------
Management believes that a lack of Y2K readiness in any of its products, except
for Vitrea, would not have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.  On March 31, 1999, the Company announced the
release of a Y2K compliant version of Vitrea.

Financial Software.  During 1997, the Company purchased and installed a new
accounting software package. The Company has obtained a statement from the
vendor indicating that the software is Y2K compliant.  The Company has also
tested the Y2K readiness of this software.  This testing did not reveal any Y2K
compliance issues.

Embedded Chip Technology and Non-financial Software.  The Company has assessed
its Y2K readiness with regard to critical and non-critical embedded chip
technology and non-financial software.  The Company's assessment of its Y2K
readiness did not reveal any critical embedded chip technology or non-financial
software that was not Y2K compliant.  The Company's assessment did reveal that
certain non-critical assets containing embedded chip technology and certain non-
financial software were not Y2K compliant.  The Company has replaced or upgraded
these non-compliant assets and non-financial software products.

Noncompliance by Suppliers and Customers.  The Company has identified and
contacted its critical suppliers and service providers to determine the state of
their Y2K readiness. The Company is currently evaluating the responses received
from its critical suppliers and service providers and expects this evaluation to
be completed by September 30, 1999. To the extent that responses to the Y2K
issue are unsatisfactory, the Company will consider changing suppliers or
service providers, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in finding such alternative suppliers or service providers. The
Company does not have any formal information concerning the Y2K compliance
status of its customers. If customers experience significant Y2K problems, they
may choose to delay or cancel orders for the Company's products. In the event
that any of the Company's significant suppliers or customers do not achieve Y2K
compliance in a timely manner, and the Company is unable to replace them with
alternate suppliers or customers, the Company's operations could be materially
adversely affected.

The costs incurred by the Company to date in addressing its Y2K readiness issues
are primarily non-incremental compensation costs and have not been material to
the Company's operating results. The Company currently estimates that the total
additional costs for addressing its internal Y2K readiness will not be material
to the Company's operating results. These costs are being expensed as they are
incurred. The Company plans to devote the necessary resources to resolve all
significant Y2K issues in a timely manner.

                                       12
<PAGE>

The Company's statements regarding its Y2K readiness are forward-looking
statements and are, therefore, subject to change as a result of known and
unknown factors. Both the Company's cost estimates and completion time frames
could be influenced by the Company's ability to successfully identify all Y2K
issues, the nature and amount of remediation required, the availability and cost
of trained personnel in this area and the Y2K success that key third parties and
customers attain. While these and other unforeseen factors could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
liquidity in future periods due to possible business disruptions caused by a
lack of third party Y2K readiness, management believes that it has implemented
an effective Y2K compliance program that will minimize the possible negative
consequences to the Company.

The Y2K readiness disclosure statement set forth above is a "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" under the federal Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure
Act.
