                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  These financial statements,  footnotes and discussions should be
read in conjunction  with audited  financial  statements  and related  footnotes
included in Intelligent Medical Imaging,  Inc.'s ("IMI" or "the Company") annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Operating results for
the three- and nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31,
1997.

2.   INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

Investments  available-for-sale  consist of asset backed  securities,  corporate
bonds  and U.S.  Government  agency  bonds.  Management  determines  the  proper
classifications   of  investments  in  obligations  with  fixed  maturities  and
marketable  equity  securities  at the time of purchase  and  re-evaluates  such
designations  as of  each  balance  sheet  date.  At  September  30,  1997,  all
securities were designated as available-for-sale.  Accordingly, these securities
are stated at fair market value,  with unrealized gains and losses reported as a
separate component of stockholders'  equity.  Realized gains and losses on sales
of investments,  as determined on a specific  identification basis, are included
in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment  securities  available for sale at September 30, 1997, are summarized
as follows:

4.   IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128,  EARNINGS PER SHARE,  which is required to be adopted in December  1997. At
that time,  the Company will be required to change the method  currently used to
compute  earnings  per share and to  restate  all prior  periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating  primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock  options will be excluded.  Statement  128 would not have an impact on the
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.


5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On June 17, 1997, the Company notified DiaSys  Corporation  ("DiaSys"),  that it
was  terminating the Product  Integration  Agreement dated November 1, 1996 (the
"DiaSys  Agreement"),  between the Company and DiaSys,  due to DiaSys'  material
breaches of the DiaSys Agreement.  The Company also rejected all goods delivered
by  DiaSys  to  the  Company  as   non-conforming.   DiaSys  has  expressed  its
disagreement  with the Company's  position  regarding the  conformity of DiaSys'
products and the  Company's  termination  of the DiaSys  Agreement.  The Company
believes that it had a valid basis to terminate the DiaSys Agreement and is thus
relieved  from  the  minimum  purchase  requirements  set  forth  in the  DiaSys
Agreement.

In the second quarter of 1997, the Company paid Coulter Corporation  ("Coulter")
$3,600,000  in exchange  for the return of 26 of  Coulter's  used  inventory  of
Micro21  Systems and  reimbursement  to Coulter for  certain  costs  incurred in
connection with the sale and marketing of the Micro21 Systems in accordance with
the terms of a settlement agreement  ("Settlement  Agreement") executed on March
27, 1997. In the  Settlement  Agreement,  the Company also agreed to pay Coulter
approximately  $1,000,000,  subject to certain offsets, in exchange for: (i) the
return of certain spare parts and  equipment and (ii) the  assignment of four of
Coulter's  customer contract accounts  receivable.  Through October 1997, all of
Coulter's  customer  contract  accounts  receivable  have been  assigned  to the
Company.

Contingent Settlement Liability includes approximately $900,000 related to Micro
21 Systems which were not part of the Coulter Settlement Agreement.  The Company
is in negotiations  with Coulter  Corporation and anticipates  this  contingency
will be resolved by December 31, 1997.

On May 22, 1997,  the Board of Directors  authorized the Company to loan Tyce M.
Fitzmorris,  the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, up to $500,000
on a secured recourse basis. During the third quarter, advances of approximately
$366,509 were made. A repayment,  including interest accrued at the rate of 8.5%
per annum,  was made by Mr.  Fitzmorris to the Company in September 1997, in the
amount of $325,807,  leaving a balance as of September 30, 1997 of approximately
$40,000.

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

OVERVIEW

The  Company  has  developed  and  is  marketing  the  MICRO21(TM)   System,  an
intelligent,  automated  microscope  system,  for  diagnostic  use in  hospital,
commercial  reference and physician  group  laboratories.  The MICRO21 System is
designed to automate a broad range of manual microscopic procedures, potentially
enabling the clinical  laboratory  to reduce costs and exposure to  liabilities,
enhance  analytical  accuracy  and  consistency,  increase the  productivity  of
medical technologists and improve patient care.

In August 1995,  the Company  entered into an exclusive  sales and  distribution
agreement (the "Coulter Agreement") with Coulter for worldwide sales,  marketing
and service of the MICRO21 system.  The Company terminated the Coulter Agreement
in the fourth quarter of 1996 because of Coulter's  revocation of its commitment
to purchase  $5,500,000 of MICRO21  systems during the third and fourth quarters
of 1996 and other breaches of the Coulter Agreement by Coulter. Coulter disputed
the  Company's  termination  of the  Coulter  Agreement  and claimed the Coulter
Agreement  remained in effect. The parties submitted the dispute to arbitration,
but settled the dispute as of March 27,  1997.  The dispute  between the Company
and  Coulter  has had an adverse  effect on sales and  marketing  and has been a
factor in the return of some

<PAGE>
MICRO21 systems placed with customers by Coulter for evaluation.  The Settlement
Agreement  provides  for the  Company to pay Coulter  approximately  $4,600,000,
subject to  offsets,  in  exchange  for:  (i) the return of  twenty-six  (26) of
Coulter's  used  inventory  of  MICRO21  systems  and  certain  spare  parts and
equipment;  (ii) the  assignment  of four  (4) of  Coulter's  customer  contract
receivables;  and (iii)  reimbursement  to Coulter for certain costs incurred in
connection  with the sale and  marketing  of the  MICRO21  system.  The  Company
believes that many of the customers who returned  systems under  evaluation will
order a MICRO21  system for  evaluation,  purchase or lease now that the dispute
with  Coulter is  resolved.  In the second  quarter of 1997,  the  Company  paid
Coulter  $3,600,000 in exchange for the return of 26 of Coulter's used inventory
of Micro21 Systems.

In June 1997,  the Company  established a new division in The  Netherlands - IMI
Europe.  IMI Europe will perform sales and  marketing  functions in the European
market. IMI Europe has not reported any sales in the third quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product  sales were  $431,516  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1997
compared  with  $258,702  for the three  months ended  September  30,  1996,  an
increase of $172,814.  Product sales were  $2,843,559  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared with  $3,324,785 for the nine months ended September
30,  1996,  a decrease of  $481,226.  The  increase  for the three  months ended
September  30,  1997  was  primarily  due to the  Micro21  Systems  sold  by the
Company's  sales force as compared to sales by Coulter prior to  termination  of
the Coulter  Agreement in October  1996.  The overall  decrease in sales for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  compared  to  September  30, 1996 was
primarily due to the time required to build up the Company's  internal sales and
service  organizations  following the  termination  of the Coulter  Agreement in
October 1996, and  significantly  fewer than expected  conversions of evaluation
placements to sales during the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Cost of sales was  $352,578  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1997
compared with $78,988 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase
of $273,590.  Cost of sales was $1,647,799  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 compared with  $1,788,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
a decrease  of  $140,600.  The  increase  in cost of sales for the  quarter  was
primarily due to support of  evaluation  units  installed  with  customers.  The
decrease  in cost of sales for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 was
primarily due to the overall  decrease in sales for the same period ended in the
prior year.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were  $2,469,323  for the three
months ended  September 30, 1997 compared with  $1,004,391  for the three months
ended  September  30,  1996,  an increase of  $1,464,932.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  have  continued to increase  because of the  continued
growth of the Company and the need for additional  personnel.  Selling,  general
and administrative  expenses were $6,042,245 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared with  $2,260,847 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
an increase of  $3,781,398.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to  increases in
staffing, marketing, legal fees and relocation expenses.

Research  and  development  expenses  were  $931,423  for the three months ended
September 30, 1997  compared with $815,020 for the three months ended  September
30,  1996,  an increase of  $116,403.  Research and  development  expenses  were
$2,733,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $1,712,709
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  an  increase  of  $1,020,760.
Research and development expenses have increased due to resources being utilized
in the development of new procedures,  technologies  and products.  Research and
development  expenses  are  expected to continue to increase as new  procedures,
technologies and products are developed.

Other income was $0 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 compared with
$76,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $76,475. The
decrease  was due to a gain  recognized  in 1996 in  connection  with a discount
negotiated on a note payable to a third party.

Interest  income was  $207,240 for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1997
compared with $395,631 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease
of $188,391.  The decrease  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 was
primarily due to the sale of investment securities to fund operations.  Interest
income was $872,202 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 compared with
$806,312 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996, an increase of $65,890.
The  increase  was due to  interest  income  earned  on the  proceeds  from  the
Company's initial public offering which closed on March 27, 1996.

<PAGE>



Interest  expense was $0 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 compared
with $11,179 for three months ended  September  30, 1996, a decrease of $11,179.
Interest  expense was $0 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 compared
with  $141,149  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  a decrease of
$141,149. The Company had no notes payable outstanding during 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Settlement  Agreement  provides  that  the  Company  will  pay  to  Coulter
approximately $4,600,000, of which $3,600,000 was paid in 1997. In addition, the
Settlement  Agreement  required  Coulter to purchase  four current model MICRO21
systems,  to replace  certain units  returned,  at a discounted  purchase price.
These units were purchased in April 1997. As of October 1997,  units  previously
sold by Coulter to customers have been assigned and acquired by the Company.

In March  1996,  the Company  completed  its initial  public  offering,  selling
3,450,000 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, resulting in approximately
$34,000,000  in net  proceeds to the  Company.  In 1996,  the  Company  paid all
long-term  notes  payable,  indebtedness  and  amounts  due to  related  parties
totaling approximately  $4,300,000.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, cash,
cash equivalents and investments increased approximately $25,000,000,  primarily
due to net cash provided by proceeds from the initial public offering.

In May 1996, the Company employed  investment advisors to manage the cash assets
of the Company subject to specific  restrictions and  limitations.  The advisors
are allowed to buy, sell, exchange and otherwise trade in any stocks,  bonds and
other  securities  consistent  with  the  Company's  objectives.   The  specific
restrictions and limitations limit the advisors to investments  characterized as
investment  grade  only  and of  maturities  no  longer  than two  years.  These
investments are classified as available-for-sale.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and liquid investments with a maturity
of 90 days or less.  Investments  available-for-sale  consist  of  asset  backed
securities,  corporate  bonds  and  U.S.  Government  agency  bonds.  Management
determines  the  appropriate  classification  of debt  securities at the time of
purchase  and  re-evaluates  such  designation  as of each  balance  sheet date.
Unrealized  holding gains and losses on  securities  classified as available for
sale are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  net cash  used in  operating
activities of $12,344,599 was primarily due to the Company's  operating loss due
to an  increase  in overall  expenses  because  of the  increase  in  personnel,
increase  in  inventory  and payment of  $3,600,000  to Coulter  Corporation  to
repurchase Micro21 Systems as specified in the Settlement Agreement.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  net cash  provided by investing
activities  of  $12,110,872  was  primarily  the result of sales of  investments
available-for-sale,  partially  offset by purchases of computer  equipment to be
used in research and development and leasehold improvements to the manufacturing
facility.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  net cash  provided by financing
activities of $110,544 was primarily the result of proceeds from the exercise of
common stock options.

At September 30, 1997 the Company had a net operating loss ("NOL")  carryforward
of  approximately  $11,000,000  available  for income tax  purposes  that expire
through the year 2011.  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue  Code,  as amended,
limits the amount of federal  taxable income that may be offset by  pre-existing
NOLs of a corporation  following a change in ownership  ("Ownership  Change") of
the corporation.  A portion of the Company's NOLs are currently subject to these
limitations  because the Company  experienced  an  Ownership  Change on June 30,
1995, due to the issuance of common stock.

The Company  believes that cash, cash equivalents and investments held for sale,
together with  projected cash flow from  operations,  will be sufficient to meet
the  Company's   liquidity  and  capital   requirements   for  projected  annual
expenditures  through 1998,  although no assurance  exists that the Company will
not require additional capital prior to the end of such period.
