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

R.F. Management Corp. (the "Company") was formed in August of 1994, for the
purpose of establishing, administering and managing free-standing outpatient
ambulatory surgery centers. The Company is responsible for the day-to-day
management of the site, including hiring and selection of non-medical employees,
marketing and the responsibility of all computer operations at the site. Medical
professionals employed at the Center provide all medical and diagnostic services
at the site. The Company is not engaged in the practice of medicine.

On May 31, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Northern
New Jersey Medical Management, Inc. ("Northern") in a business combination
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Northern, a New Jersey corporation
formed in 1986, is engaged in the management of a diagnostic imaging center
located in Union, New Jersey. All references to the Company's prior operating
history relates to the operations of Northern.

On December 27, 1995, R.F. Management Corp. acquired 40% of the outstanding
shares of Mobile Medical Services Limited ("Mobile"), a privately held Company
incorporated in Ireland, and a 51% interest in the property owned or leased by
its subsidiaries for $350,000. Mobile Medical Services Limited provides mobile
MRI, CT, Lithotripsy and Cardiac Catheterization services in the Netherlands,
Italy and Germany. The payment terms call for the Company to make payments
directly to designated creditors on behalf of Mobile. As of December 31, 1997,
$350,000 is reflected as an investment in joint venture.

On March 20, 1996, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, R.F. Management
Corp. of Toms River ("RFTR"), a New Jersey corporation, who in July 1996 entered
into a lease and management service agreement with Surgical Associates, PA. This
agreement is to commence upon the completion of the construction of a one room
surgical suite.

On May 30, 1996, the Company entered into a five year lease and management
service agreement with Associates in Otolaryngology of New Jersey, PA. This
agreement is to commence upon the completion of the construction of a one room
surgical suite.

On November 15, 1996, the Company acquired a 75% interest in Mobiletec, Inc.
("Mobiletec"), a newly formed entity incorporated in New Jersey. Mobiletec
provides mobile MRI facilities to doctors, hospitals and medical groups for
which it receives a per-test fee. Mobiletec's results of operations have been
included in the consolidated financial statements.

On December 1, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities from Luther H. Brady & Associates, P.C. and Bucks Radiation
Oncology, Inc. The assets are employed in the operation of three radiation
treatment centers located in Voorhees, New Jersey and Havertown and Langhorne,
Pennsylvania. The Company acquired the assets for $3,700,000 and also assumed
certain liabilities totalling approximately $837,000. The transaction resulted
in the creation of goodwill of approximately $1,257,000.

On December 27, 1996, the Company acquired 65% of the outstanding capital stock
of Empire State Imaging Associates, Inc. ("Empire"), a New York corporation,
from an affiliated company for $250,000. On June 30, 1998, the Company and its
affiliate (which owned the remaining 35%) sold all the outstanding stock 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
$392,245.

On January 1, 1997, the Company acquired 52% of the outstanding capital stock of
Hamilton McGregor International, Inc. ("Hamilton") from a related party for
$750,000. Hamilton, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a general construction
contractor engaged primarily in the construction of medical suites for the


<PAGE>

provision of various outpatient services. On December 1, 1997, the $600,000 
note payable issued to a related party in connection with the purchase of 
822,000 shares of Hamilton McGregor International, Inc. was cancelled. The 
Company recorded a gain from debt cancellation in the amount of $503,760. In 
addition, the Company records a charge to operations of approximately 
$328,000 representing the carrying value of goodwill recorded at the date of 
issuance of the note.

On March 3, 1998, the Company restructured the promissory note payable for the
acquisition of Prime Contracting Corp. to a related party as follows: $200,000
in cash, payable over 36 months, plus interest calculated at prime plus one
percent 1%) and a 36 month option to purchase 250,000 shares of related party
stock at $0.05. The Company recorded a gain from note payable restructuring in
the amount of $772,650.

On January 31, 1997, the Company acquired 52% of the outstanding capital stock
of Atrium Radiology Corp. ("Atrium") for 133,333 shares of this Company's common
stock, valued at $100,000 and a guarantee that the first $300,000 in net profits
would be paid to the seller. The Company has recorded the purchase in the amount
of $400,000. The transaction resulted in the creation of goodwill of
approximately $521,000. Atrium presently provides radiological services and is
expected to be able to offer MRI scans in the future.

On March 19, 1997, the Company sold its 75% interest in Open MRI and Diagnostic
Services of Toms River, Inc. ("Open MRI"), a New Jersey corporation formed in
February 1997, for $750,000. The gain has been recorded at its present value in
the amount of approximately $489,000.

In March 1997, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary (Brady Cancer
Centers, Inc.) and transferred the assets and liabilities relating to its three
Radiation Oncology Centers to the subsidiary.

                      Three months ended December 31, 1997 to 
                       three months ended December 31, 1996.

1997. This increase was a result of the aforementioned acquisition.

Total costs and expenses increased $4,382,589 for the three months ended
December 31, 1997.

Interest expense increased $264,772 for the three months ended December 31,
1997. This increase was a result of the aforementioned acquisitions, as a result
of the Company's ability to obtain financing related to the various
acquisitions. Depreciation and amortization increased $224,066 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997.

Interest income decreased $29,031 for the three month period. This reduction was
the result of investing in the aforementioned acquisitions.

December 31, 1997.

The Company recognized extraordinary gains from the extinguishment of debt in
the amount of $503,760 during the three months ended December 31, 1997.

direct result of the aforementioned extraordinary item.

months ended December 31, 1997 totalling $364,168.


<PAGE>


The Company presently has a working capital deficit of $2,161,475 as compared to
$1,669,508 at September 30, 1997. This decrease and resultant deficit is
attributable to the Company's rapid expansion.There are no other known trends,
demands, commitments or events that will impact the Company's results of
operations, liquidity and/or capital resources.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT





To the Board of Directors
R.F. Management Corp.

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of R.F. Management Corp. and
Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, and cash flows for the three 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 R.F. Management Corp and
Subsidiaries as at September 30, 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 March 6, 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
December 31, 1997 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                     R.F. MANAGEMENT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 1 -  GENERAL AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         (a)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

                  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 and the
                  consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
                  three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 have been
                  prepared by the Company and are presented herein without
                  audit.

                  In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial
                  statements referred to above contain all necessary
                  adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring
                  entries only, which are necessary to present fairly the
                  Company's consolidated results for the interim periods being
                  presented.

                  The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
                  in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements included in
                  its Annual Financial Statement filed on form 10-K for the year
                  ended September 30, 1997, which is incorporated herein by
                  reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a
                  description of the Company's securities and the notes to
                  financial statements included therein.

                  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.

                  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
                  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 practicable to
                  estimate the fair value of long-term debt because quoted
                  market prices do not exist and an estimate could not be made
                  through other means without incurring excessive costs.

                  The results of operations and cash flows for the three months
                  ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily
                  indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION

         In October 1995, Northern New Jersey Medical Management, Inc. the
         Company's wholly owned subsidiary, was named as a party in a lawsuit
         initiated by several of the limited partners in Union Diagnostic
         Facilities Group, L.P. The suit alleges, among other things, breach of
         fiduciary duty, mismanagement and negligence. The suit is presently in
         the discovery stage and, therefore, no determination as to the possible
         outcome can be made. The Company believes the suit is without merit and
         intends to vigorously defend itself.

         In April 1997, the Company was named as co-defendant in a lawsuit
         against Dr. Luther Brady, his affiliates and associates, his attorneys
         and an alleged employee of the Company. The suit, filed by a former
         associate of Dr. Brady's, alleges that this individual had certain
         prior contractual rights to acquire the assets employed in the
         operation of the Company's radiation therapy center, located in
         Voorhees, New Jersey. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages against
         the Company for alleged fraud, equitable fraud and tortious
         interference with the contract. The Company has denied these
         allegations in its response.

         In June 1997, the Company filed a third-party complaint against various
         Brady affiliates and their attorneys, alleging that it has no knowledge
         of any pre-existing rights to acquire the assets and that failure to
         disclose such rights is a breach of numerous representations and
         warranties contained in the asset purchase agreement. The Company seeks
         contribution and indemnity, damages, partial recession of the various
         agreements entered into between the Company and the Brady affiliates,
         injunctive relief and the return of certain monies held in escrow.

         In October 1997, the Company and Dr. Brady agreed that Dr. Brady would
         manage the daily operations and the related cash flows of the three
         centers. Dr. Brady submits to the Company a monthly accounting of cash
         receipts and disbursements for each of the centers.

         Also in October 1997, the Brady affiliates returned $1,500,000 of the
         funds being held in escrow to the Company's lender. These funds are
         being held in escrow by the lender pending a resolution of the various
         legal issues involved.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION (Continued)

         In addition to the aforementioned legal issues associated with the
         acquisition of the "Brady" assets, the agreement called for the Company
         to receive six times the weekly average of accounts receivable
         generated during the period from January 1 to June 1, 1996, which the
         Company had previously estimated at $350,000. The Company and Dr. Brady
         had been unable to arrive at an agreed upon amount and as a result, the
         Company has reserved the amount in full pending a resolution of the
         dispute.
