**ALLIANCE IMAGING, INC.NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSJune 30, 2006(Unaudited)(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)**

**1. Basis ofPresentation, Principles of Consolidation, and Use of Estimates**

**Basis ofPresentation—**The accompanyingunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared byAlliance Imaging, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America and with theinstructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X ofthe Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all ofthe information and footnotes required by generally accepted accountingprinciples for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, alladjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for afair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-monthperiod ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the resultsthat may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. Theaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should beread in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements andnotes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,2005.

**Principles ofConsolidation—**Theaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of theCompany include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majorityowned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. Intercompanytransactions have been eliminated. The Company records minority interestexpense related to its consolidated subsidiaries which are not wholly owned.Investments in unconsolidated investees are accounted for under the equitymethod.

**Use of Estimates—**The preparation of condensed consolidated financialstatements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financialstatements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates.

**2. Share-BasedCompensation**

In December 2004, the Financial AccountingStandards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (revisedDecember 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is arevision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”)and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting forStock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). This statement requires that the fairvalue at the grant date resulting from all share-based payment transactions berecognized in the financial statements. Further, SFAS 123(R) requiresentities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for thesetransactions. This value is recorded over the vesting period. The statement iseffective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.

The Company adopted SFAS123(R) for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006, using themodified prospective application transition method and, accordingly, has notrestated the consolidated financial statements for prior interim periods orfiscal years. Under SFAS 123(R), the Company now records in its consolidatedstatements of operations (i) compensation cost for options granted,modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006 under theprovisions of SFAS 123(R) and (ii) compensation cost for the unvestedportion of options granted prior to January 1, 2006 over their remainingvesting periods using the amounts previously measured under SFAS 123 for proforma disclosure purposes.

***Stock Option Plans and Awards***

In December 1997, the Company adopted an employeestock option plan (“1997 Equity Plan”) pursuant to which options with respectto a total of 4,685,450 shares of the Company’s common stock were available forgrant. Options were granted at their fair value at the date of grant. Alloptions have 10-year terms. On November 2, 1999, in connection witha series of transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Mergerbetween Viewer Acquisition Corp and the Company in November 1999 (the “1999Recapitalization Merger”), all options under the 1997 Equity Plan became fullyvested.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of all ofthe outstanding common stock of Three Rivers Holding Corporation (“Three Rivers”),the parent corporation of SMT Health Services, Inc., in 1999, outstandingemployee stock options under the 1997 Three Rivers Stock Option Plan wereconverted into options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. TheThree Rivers stock option plan allowed for options with respect to a total of2,825,200 shares of the Company’s common stock to be available for grant. Optionswere granted at their fair value at the date of grant. All options have 10-yearterms. On November 2, 1999, in connection with the 1999 RecapitalizationMerger, all options under the 1997 Three Rivers Stock Option Plan became fullyvested.

In connection with the 1999 Recapitalization Merger,the Company adopted an employee stock option plan (“the 1999 Equity Plan”)pursuant to which options with respect to a total of 6,325,000 shares of theCompany’s common stock became available for grant. As of June 30, 2006, atotal of 1,346,575 shares are available for grant under the 1999 Equity Plan.Options are granted with exercise prices equal to fair value of the Company’scommon stock at the date of grant, except as noted below. All options have 10-yearterms. A portion of the options vest in equal increments over five years and aportion vest after eight years (subject to acceleration if certain financialperformance targets are achieved). The Company settles stock option exerciseswith newly issued shares of common stock.

Consistent with the valuation method for thedisclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, the Company is using the Black-Scholesoption pricing model to value the compensation expense associated withstock-based awards under SFAS 123(R). The fair value of each option award isestimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricingmodel that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. In addition,forfeitures are estimated when recognizing compensation expense, and theestimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period tothe extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from suchestimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through acumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact theamount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,2005, the Company recorded $63 and $126, respectively, in non-cash share-basedcompensation for stock options granted with exercise prices below the fairvalue of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and for certain stockoptions subject to amended performance targets under the 1999 Equity Plan, asdiscussed below. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, ofthe total $593 and $1,308, respectively, in non-cash share-based compensationrecorded, $434 and $988, respectively, was incremental share-based compensationas a result of the adoption of SFAS 123 (R).

Thefollowing weighted average assumptions were used in the estimated grant datefair value calculations for stock option awards:

There were no stock options granted during the secondquarter ended June 30, 2006.

The expected stock price volatility rates are based ona blend of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and peerimplied volatility. The risk free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasuryyield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with theexpected life of the option or award. The average expected life represents theweighted average period of time that options or awards granted are expected tobe outstanding, as calculated using the simplified method described in theSecurities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.

In November 2000, the Company granted stockoptions to certain employees at exercise prices below the fair value of theCompany’s common stock, of which 35,000 options were outstanding at June 30,2006. The exercise prices of these options and the fair value of the Company’scommon stock on the grant date were $5.60 and $9.52 per share, respectively.The Company recorded non-cash share-based compensation of $6 and $12, respectively,for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, with an offset topaid-in-capital deficit. As the Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) effective January 1,2006, any non-cash share-based compensation as a result of granting thesestock options are included in the Company’s consolidated total of share-basedcompensation of $593 and $1,308, respectively, for the quarter and six monthsended June 30, 2006.

Under the 1999 Equity Plan, a portion of the optionsgranted are “performance options.” These options vest on the eighth anniversaryof the grant date if the option holder is still an employee, but the vestingaccelerates if the Company meets the operating performance targets specified inthe option agreements. On June 20, 2001, the Company’s compensationcommittee authorized the Company to amend the option agreements under its 1999Equity Plan to reduce the performance targets for 1,899,600 performance optionsout of the 2,284,222 performance options outstanding. On May 18, 2004, theCompany’s compensation committee authorized the Company to make a secondamendment to the option agreements under its 1999 Equity Plan to further reducethe performance targets for all of the 1,914,500 performance optionsoutstanding. As a result of the amendment, if the Company achieves the reducedperformance targets but does not achieve the original performance targets, andan option holder terminates employment prior to the eighth anniversary of theoption grant date, the Company would be required to record a non-cash stock-basedcompensation charge equal to the amount by which the actual value of the sharessubject to the performance option on the date of the amendment exceeded theoption’s exercise price. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,2005 the Company recorded $57 and $114, respectively, in non-cash share-basedcompensation as a result of the amendment. As the Company adopted SFAS 123 (R) effectiveJanuary 1, 2006, any non-cash share-based compensation as a resultof these amendments are included in the Company’s consolidated total ofnon-cash stock-based compensation of $593 and $1,308, respectively, forthe quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, thetotal unrecognized fair value compensation cost related to unvested stockoptions granted to both employees and non-employees was $7,323, which isexpected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 4.38years. The valuation model applied in this calculation utilizes highlysubjective assumptions that could potentially change over time, including theexpected forfeiture rate and performance targets. Therefore the amount ofunrecognized compensation expense noted above does not necessarily representthe value that will ultimately be realized by the Company in the statements ofoperations. The total fair value of shares vested during the quarters ended June 30,2005 and 2006 were $171, and $167, respectively. The total fair value of sharesvested during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were $673, and$1,024, respectively.

***Employee Share-Based Compensation Expense***

Thetable below shows the amounts recognized in the financial statements for thequarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 for awards newly subject tocompensation expense under SFAS 123(R). As discussed previously, prior to theadoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company recorded compensation expense for stockoptions granted with exercise prices below the fair value of the Company’scommon stock at the date of grant, certain stock options subject to amendedperformance targets under the 1999 Equity Plan, and non-employee share-basedawards granted to members of the Company’s advisory committee. The table below,therefore, excludes the effect of these awards.

***Pro Forma Share-Based Compensation***

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Companyaccounted for non-cash share-based compensation awards using the intrinsicvalue method prescribed under APB 25, and its related interpretations, aspermitted by SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Under the intrinsic value method, thedifference between the market price on the date of grant and the exercise priceis charged to the consolidated statements of operations over the vestingperiod. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company recognizedcompensation cost for only certain awards, as discussed above. All otheremployee share-based awards were granted with an exercise price equal to themarket value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and nocompensation cost is reflected in income from operations for those awards. SFAS123, as amended by SFAS 148, required presentation of pro forma informationregarding net income and earnings per share determined as if the Company hadaccounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of thatStatement.

Forpurposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options isamortized to expense over the options’ expected vesting period. Hadcompensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based onthe estimated fair value at the grant dates for awards under the planconsistent with the fair value method of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholesoption-pricing model, the Company’s net income and basic and diluted earningsper share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 would haveapproximated the pro forma amount indicated below:

**3. RecentAccounting Pronouncements**

**Accounting Changes and ErrorCorrections—****In**May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accountingfor Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”), which is a replacement ofAPB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS 3, “ReportingAccounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement changes therequirements for the accounting for and reporting of all voluntary changes inaccounting principle and in the instance that a pronouncement does not includespecific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospectiveapplication to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accountingprinciple, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specificeffects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective foraccounting changes and corrections of errors

**made infiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption ofSFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial position or results of operations.**

**Limited Partnerships—****In******June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-05,“Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group,Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners HaveCertain Rights”(“EITF 04-05”). EITF 04-05 clarifies howgeneral partners in a limited partnership should determine whether they controla limited partnership. A general partner of a limited partnership is presumedto control the limited partnership unless the limited partners have substantivekick-out rights or participating rights. For general partners of all newlimited partnerships formed and for existing limited partnerships for which thepartnership agreements are modified, EITF 04-05 is effective after June 29,2005. For general partners in all other limited partnerships, EITF 04-05is effective for the first period in fiscal years beginning after December 15,2005. The adoption of EITF 04-05 did not have a material impact onthe Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

**Uncertaintyin Income Taxes—****In**July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”(“FIN 48”), an interpretation ofFASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FASB 109”). FIN 48clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in anenterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB 109. ThisInterpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute forthe financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken orexpected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance onderecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interimperiods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal yearsbeginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe theadoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial position or results of operations.

possibly occurred. Goodwillis allocated to the Company’s various reporting units which represent theCompany’s geographical regions. The Company compares the fair value of thereporting unit to its carrying amount to determine if there is potentialimpairment. The implied fair value for goodwill is determined based on the fairvalue of assets and liabilities of the respective reporting units, inaccordance with SFAS No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” based on discounted cash flows,market multiples, or appraised values as appropriate.

**11. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company has appliedthe disclosure provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’sAccounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guaranteesof Indebtedness of Others,” to its agreements that contain guarantee orindemnification clauses. These disclosure provisions expand those required byFASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” by requiring aguarantor to disclose certain type of guarantees, even if the likelihood ofrequiring the guarantor’s performance is remote. The following is a descriptionof arrangements in which the Company is the guarantor or indemnifies a party.

15

----

In the normal course ofbusiness, the Company has made certain guarantees and indemnities, under whichit may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, inrelation to certain transactions. The Company indemnifies other parties,including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with theCompany, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold theother party harmless against losses arising from certain events as definedwithin the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation orclaims arising from a breach of representations or covenants. In addition, theCompany has entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officersand directors and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnificationobligations. Under these arrangements, we are obligated to indemnify, to thefullest extent permitted under applicable law, our current or former officersand directors for various amounts incurred with respect to actions, suits orproceedings in which they were made, or threatened to be made, a party as aresult of acting as an officer or director.

It is not possible todetermine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreementsdue to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique factsand circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, paymentsmade related to these indemnifications have been immaterial. At June 30,2006 the Company has determined that no liability is necessary related to theseguarantees and indemnities.

The Company guarantees aportion of a loan on behalf of an unconsolidated investee under an agreementexecuted prior to 2002. The maximum potential future payment under thisfinancial guarantee is $145 at June 30, 2006. The Company has not recordedan obligation for this guarantee.

On May 5, 2005,Alliance Imaging, Inc. was served with a complaint (the “Class ActionComplaint”) filed in Alameda County Superior Court alleging wage and hourclaims on behalf of a putative class of approximately 400 former and current Californiaemployees of the Company. On August 19, 2005, the plaintiffs filed anamended complaint, which the Company answered on September 23, 2005. Inthis suit, captioned Linda S. Jones, et al. v. Alliance Imaging, Inc., etal., the plaintiffs allege violations of California’s wage, meal period, andbreak time laws and regulations. Plaintiffs sought recovery of unspecifiedeconomic damages, statutory penalties, attorneys’ fees, and costs of suit. Onor about March 10, 2006, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint(later further amended by a third amended complaint) adding a cause of actionfor conversion and a plea for punitive damages. The Company has filed ademurrer and motion to strike seeking to dismiss the new claim and plea. On July 19,2006, the Company and the Plaintiffs entered into a tentative settlement of theClass Action Complaint pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay$2,500 in exchange for a dismissal with prejudice of all claims brought onbehalf of the putative class under the Class Action Complaint. Thetentative settlement is subject to court approval, and a preliminary approvaland conditional class certification hearing has been scheduled for September 1,2006.

The Company from time totime is involved in routine litigation and regulatory matters incidental to theconduct of its business. The Company believes that resolution of such matterswill not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results ofoperations or financial position.

**12. Related-Party Transactions**

The Company recordedmanagement fees payable to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (“KKR”) of$163 and $325 for each of the quarters andsix months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and willcontinue to receive financial advisory services from KKR on an ongoing basis.At June 30, 2005 and 2006, the Company has accrued $163 related to theseservices.

Revenue from managementagreements with unconsolidated equity investees was $3,593 and $4,173 for thequarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and $7,299 and $8,529for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

**13. Investments in Unconsolidated Investees**

The Company has directownership in five investees at June 30, 2006. The Company owns between33.3 percent and 50 percent of these investees, and provides managementservices under agreements with four of these investees, expiring at variousdates through 2023. As discussed in Note 4, in late December 2005 theCompany purchased an additional equity interest in AO, a joint venture formedin 2004, which was an unconsolidated investee prior to purchase of theadditional equity interest. The Company’s earnings in unconsolidated investeesfor the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes the Company’s percentageof AO’s earnings for this period. At June 30, 2006 the Company also hasownership in an unconsolidated investee of AO. AO owns 50% of this investee andprovides management services under an agreement which expires in 2025. All ofthese investees are accounted for under the equity method since the Companydoes not exercise control over the operations of these investees.

**14. Restatement ofPreviously Issued Financial Statements**

Subsequent to the filingof its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter endedJune 30, 2006, the Company identified an error with respect to theaccounting for interest rate swap agreements. As discussed in Note 8, the swapagreements were executed in 2004 and mature at various dates in 2007. Sinceinception the Company had recorded the unrealized gains and losses in fairvalue of the swap agreements as a component of other comprehensive income(loss). The Company has determined that these transactions do not meet therequirements for hedge accounting treatment and any unrealized gains or lossesshould have been recognized in the results of operations as interest expense.

*Effects ofRestatement*

To correct this error, the Company has restated theaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 andDecember 31, 2005 and its condensed consolidated statements of operationsand comprehensive income for the quarter and six months ended June 30,2006 and 2005, and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the sixmonths ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the notes to the condensed consolidatedfinancial statements for such periods as appropriate.

**ITEM 2.**                MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIALCONDITION AND RESULTS OFOPERATIONS

**Overview**

We are a leading nationalprovider of shared-service and fixed-site diagnostic imaging services, basedupon annual revenue and number of diagnostic imaging systems deployed. Ourprincipal sources of revenue are derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)and positron emission tomography and positron emission tomography/computedtomography (PET and PET/CT). We provide imaging and therapeutic services primarilyto hospitals and other healthcare providers on a shared and full-time servicebasis. We also provide services through a growing number of fixed sitesprimarily to hospitals or health systems. Our services normally include the useof our imaging systems, technologists to operate the systems, equipmentmaintenance and upgrades and management of day-to-day shared-service and fixed-sitediagnostic imaging operations. We also provide non scan-based services, whichincludes only the use of our imaging systems under a short-term contract. Inthe first six months of 2006, MRI services and PET and PET/CT servicesgenerated 62% and 28% of our revenue, respectively. The remaining revenue wascomprised of other modality diagnostic imaging services revenue, primarilycomputed tomography (CT), and management contract revenue. We had 500diagnostic imaging systems, including 335 MRI systems and 74 PET or PET/CTsystems and served over 1,000 clients in 43 states at June 30, 2006. Ofthese 500 diagnostic imaging systems, 72 were located in fixed-sites, whichconstitutes systems installed in hospitals or other buildings on hospitalcampuses, including modular buildings, systems installed inside medical groups’offices or medical buildings, and free-standing fixed-sites, which includessystems installed in a medical office building, ambulatory surgical center, orother retail space. Of these 72 fixed-sites, 58 were MRI fixed-sites, 3PET or PET/CT fixed-sites and 11 other modality fixed sites.

Approximately 87% of our revenuesfor the first six months ended June 30, 2006 were generated by providingservices to hospitals and other healthcare providers, which we refer to aswholesale revenues. Our wholesale revenues are typically generated fromcontracts that require our clients to pay us based on the number of scans weperform on patients on our clients behalf, although some pay us a flat fee fora period of time regardless of the number of scans we perform. These paymentsare due to us independent of our clients’ receipt of reimbursement fromthird-party payors. We typically deliver our services for a set number of daysper week through exclusive, long-term contracts with hospitals and otherhealthcare providers. The initial terms of these contracts’ averageapproximately three years in length for mobile services and approximately sevento ten years in length for fixed-site arrangements. These contracts oftencontain automatic renewal provisions and certain contracts have cancellationclauses if the hospital or other healthcare provider purchases their ownsystem. We price our contracts based on the type of system used, the scanvolume, and the number of ancillary services provided. Pricing is also affectedby competitive pressures.

Approximately 13% of ourrevenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were generated byproviding services directly to patients from our sites located at or nearhospitals or other healthcare provider facilities, which we refer to as retailrevenue. Our revenue from these sites is generated from direct billings topatients or their third-party payors, including Medicare, which are recordednet of contractual discounts and other arrangements for providing services atdiscounted prices. We typically charge a higher price per scan under retailbilling than we do under wholesale billing.

Fixed-sites can be structured aseither wholesale or retail. Revenues from these fixed-sites are included inboth our wholesale or retail revenues, respectively.

On February 8, 2006, theDeficit Reduction Act of 2005 (“DRA”) was signed into law by President GeorgeW. Bush. The DRA imposes caps on Medicare payment rates for certain imagingservices, including MRI, PET and CT, furnished in physician’s offices and othernon-hospital based settings. Under the cap, payments for specified imagingservices cannot exceed the hospital outpatient payment rates for

thoseservices. This change is to apply to services furnished on or after January 1,2007. The limitation is applicable to the technical components of the servicesonly (which is the payment we receive for the non-professional servicesfor which we bill directly under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule). If thetechnical component of the service established under the Physician Fee Schedule(without including geographic adjustments) exceeds the hospital outpatientpayment amount for the service (also without including geographic adjustments),then the payment is to be reduced. In other words, in those instances where thetechnical component for the particular service is greater at the non-hospitalsite, the DRA directs that the hospital outpatient payment rate be substitutedfor the otherwise applicable Physician Fee Schedule payment rate. Theimplementation of this reimbursement reduction contained in the DRA will have asignificant effect on our financial condition and results of operationsbeginning in 2007. For full year 2005, approximately 4% of our revenue wasbilled directly to Medicare contractors. Basing our calculation on our 2005revenues, if the provisions were in effect for 2005, we estimate that thereduction in Medicare revenue due to DRA payment rate decreases would havetotaled approximately $6 million. The estimated percentage reduction in revenuebased on 2005 results is consistent with our expectation of what the impact onfull year 2006 revenues would be. Because a high percentage of our expenses arefixed, we expect a significant portion of this decrease in revenue to directlyeffect earnings.

In addition, the DRA alsocodifies a reduction in Medicare payments for multiple images performed oncontiguous body parts which was previously established by CMS in the 2006Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule. Under that final rule, CMS is to pay 100% ofthe technical component of the higher priced imaging procedure and 50% for thetechnical component of each additional imaging procedure for multiple images ofcontiguous body parts within a family of codes performed in the same session.Prior to this change, Medicare paid 100% of the technical component of eachprocedure. CMS is phasing in this reimbursement reduction over a two-yearperiod so that payment rates for the technical components of second andsubsequent imaging procedures are to be paid 75% of the otherwise applicablerate in 2006 and 50% of the otherwise applicable rate beginning in 2007. Theimplementation of this reimbursement reduction did not have a material impacton our consolidated financial position or results of operations for the quarterand six months ended June 30, 2006. We continue to believe that theimplementation of this reimbursement reduction will not have a material impacton our consolidated financial position or results of operations in the future.

On July 18, 2006, the U.S.House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Healthconducted a hearing regarding quality and utilization of imaging services andthe provisions of the DRA that directly effect Medicare payment for imagingservices. Many members of Congress have expressed concern about the impact ofthe DRA, and a legislation bill has been introduced to delay the effective dateof the DRA for two years. Our current view is that the two year delay regardingimplementation of the DRA is unlikely to be upheld by Congress and that the DRAas it is currently structured will become effective January 1, 2007.

The principal components of ourcost of revenues are compensation paid to technologists and drivers, systemmaintenance costs, medical supplies, system transportation and technologists’travel costs. Because a majority of these expenses are fixed, increasedrevenues as a result of higher scan volumes per system significantly improvesour margins while lower scan volumes result in lower margins.

The principal components ofselling, general and administrative expenses are sales and marketing costs,corporate overhead costs, provision for doubtful accounts, and non-cashshare-based compensation.

We record minority interestexpense and earnings from unconsolidated investees related to our consolidatedand unconsolidated subsidiaries, respectively. These subsidiaries primarilyprovide shared-service and fixed-site diagnostic imaging and therapeuticservices.

In 2005 and the first six monthsof 2006, the growth rate of MRI industry wide scan volumes has slowed in partdue to weak hospital volumes as reported by several investor-owned hospitalcompanies, a

growingnumber of medical groups adding imaging capacity within their practice setting,the increasing trend of third-party payors intensifying their utilizationmanagement efforts to control MRI scan volume growth rate and additionalpatient-related cost-sharing programs. We expect that this trend will continuethroughout 2006.

Inrecent years, we began to see an increase in the competitive climate in the MRIindustry, resulting in an increase in activity by original equipmentmanufacturers, or OEM’s, selling systems directly to certain of our clients.Typically, OEM’s target our higher scan volume clients. This increase inactivity by OEM’s has resulted in overcapacity of systems in the marketplace,especially related to medical groups adding imaging capacity within theirpractice setting. This has caused an increase in the number of our higher scanvolume clients deciding not to renew their contracts. We replace these highervolume scan clients typically with lower volume clients. During 2006, our MRIrevenues modestly declined compared to 2005 levels and we believe that MRIrevenues will continue to modestly decline in future years.

**Seasonality**

We experience seasonality in the revenues and marginsgenerated for our services. First and fourth quarter revenues are historicallylower than those from the second and third quarters. First quarter revenue isaffected primarily by fewer calendar days and inclement weather, typicallyresulting in fewer patients being scanned during the period. Fourth quarterrevenue is affected primarily by holiday and client and patient vacationschedules and inclement weather, also resulting in fewer scans during theperiod. The variability in margins is higher than the variability in revenuesdue to the fixed nature of our costs.

In 2006, there are fiveless scanning days in the second half of 2006 compared to the first half of2006. We generated approximately $1.6 million per scanning day in the firsthalf of 2006. If our revenue per scanning day for the second half of 2006remains flat with the first half of 2006, this would result in a decrease inrevenue of approximately $8.0 million in the second half of 2006 compared tothe first half of 2006.

***Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to QuarterEnded June 30, 2005***

Revenue increased $6.9 million, or 6.3%, to $115.3million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $108.4 million in the secondquarter of 2005 primarily due to higher PET and PET/CT revenue and higher othermodalities and other revenue, offset by lower MRI revenue. PET and PET/CTrevenue in the second quarter of 2006 increased $10.2 million, or 45.1%,compared to the second quarter of 2005. Total PET and PET/CT scan volumesincreased 45.3% to 24,734 scans in the second quarter of 2006 from 17,025 scansin the second quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of growth in our core PETbusiness and the PET Scans of America Corp. acquisition. The average number ofPET and PET/CT systems in service increased to 69.1 systems in the secondquarter of 2006 from 52.4 systems in the second quarter of 2005. Scans persystem per day also increased 7.9%, to 5.89 scans per system per day in thesecond quarter of 2006, from 5.46 in the second quarter of 2005. Theseincreases were partially offset by a 1.0% decline in the average price per PETand PET/CT scan, to $1,314 per scan in the second quarter of 2006 compared to$1,327 per scan in the second quarter of 2005. Other modalities and otherrevenue increased $1.3 million, or 13.1%, to $10.8 million in the secondquarter of 2006 compared to $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2005primarily due to an increase in other fixed-site modality revenue, managementcontract revenue for our managed contracts and reimbursement of out-of-pocketexpenses from unconsolidated investees. MRI revenue decreased $4.6 million inthe second quarter of 2006, or 6.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2005.Scan-based MRI revenue decreased $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, or6.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2005, from $65.0 million in the secondquarter of 2006 to $69.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily as aresult of an 8.0% decrease in our scan-based MRI scan volume. Scan-based MRIscan volume decreased to 179,869 scans in the second quarter of 2006 from195,479 scans in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to a decrease in theaverage number of scan-based systems in service due to lower client demand.Scan-based systems in service decreased to 274.1 systems in the second quarterof 2006 from 285.2 systems in the second quarter of 2005 to adjust to modestlydeclining scan volumes and to increase the efficiency of our mobile MRIsystems. Average scans per system per day also decreased by 2.4% to 9.38 in thesecond quarter of 2006 from 9.61 in the second quarter of 2005. Non-scan

based MRI revenuedecreased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 over the same period in2005. These decreases were partially offset by a 2.0% increase in average priceper MRI scan to $361.54 per scan in second quarter of 2006 compared to $354.60per scan in second quarter of 2005.

We had 335 MRI systems at June 30, 2006 comparedto 352 MRI systems at June 30, 2005. We had 74 PET and PET/CT systemsat June 30, 2006 compared to 57 PET and PET/CT systems at June 30,2005. We operated 72 fixed sites at June 30, 2006, compared to 62 fixedsites at June 30, 2005.

Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation andamortization, increased $8.7 million, or 16.1%, to $62.6 million inthe second quarter of 2006 compared to $53.9 million in the second quarterof 2005. During the second quarter of 2006 we recorded a tentative settlementon our class action lawsuit of $2.5 million, or $0.03 net of tax, perdiluted share. Compensation and related employee expenses increased$1.8 million, or 6.8%, primarily as a result of the increase of PET andPET/CT technologists who have a higher average hourly wage rate than MRItechnologists and an increase in mileage reimbursement rates. This increase incompensation was partially offset by a lower average headcount of MRItechnologists as a result of a decrease in the average number of MRI systems inuse. Medical supplies increased $1.6 million, or 39.0%, primarily as a resultof an increase in the number of PET and PET/CT systems in operation, which usea radiopharmaceutical as a component of the PET scan. Management contractexpenses increased $0.8 million, or 32.8%, primarily as a result of an increasein expenses incurred on behalf of unconsolidated investees. Maintenance andrelated costs increased $0.7 million, or 7.0%, primarily due to an increase inthe number of PET/CT systems in service, as well as an increase in the averageservice cost per system. Fuel expenses increased $0.3 million, or 21.3%,primarily due to higher average diesel fuel prices in 2006. Tractor andtransportation expenses increased $0.2 million, or 32.4%, primarily due to anincrease in the number of tractors on operating leases. All other cost ofrevenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $0.8 million, or9.1%. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 54.2% in thesecond quarter of 2006 from 49.7% in the second quarter of 2005 as a result ofthe factors described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased$0.1 million, or 0.5%, to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 comparedto $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. Professional services decreased$0.3 million, or 16.3%, primarily due to costs associated with our Form S-3shelf registration statement in the second quarter of 2005. The provision fordoubtful accounts decreased $0.3 million, or 22.6%. The provision for doubtfulaccounts as a percentage of revenue was 0.7% and 1.0% for each of the quartersended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Non-cash share-basedcompensation increased $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from thesecond quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123 (R),effective January 1, 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses asa percentage of revenue were 11.8% and 12.6% in the second quarter of 2006 and2005, respectively.

We recorded employment agreement expenses of $0.1million in the second quarter of 2005 related to payments under an amendment toan employment agreement with our former chairman of the board.

We recorded severance and related costs of $0.1million in the second quarter of 2006 primarily for severance costs associatedwith reductions-in-force primarily due to our consolidation of five geographicregions to four geographic regions.

Depreciation expense increased $0.5 million, or 2.2%,to $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $20.4 million in thesecond quarter of 2005.

Amortization expense increased by $0.3 million, or36.5%, to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to$0.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to the amortizationof intangible assets acquired in conjunction with our acquisitions in the thirdand fourth quarters of 2005.

Interest expense, net, decreased $0.4 million, or 4.0%,to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $10.4 million in thesecond quarter of 2005. Variability in the fair value of our interest rate

swaps executed in 2004accounted for a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense. This decrease waspartially offset by an increase due to higher average debt balances during thesecond quarter of 2006 as a result of 2005 acquisitions and higher averageinterest rates on our variable rate term loans. The increase in interest rateson our variable rate term loans was partially offset by the execution of variousinterest rate swap and collar agreements in 2004 and 2005 to manage againstfuture interest rate increases on most of our variable rate term loans.

Income tax expense was $3.6 million and $3.8 millionin the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, resulting in effectivetax rates of 41.2% and 40.4% in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005,respectively. Our effective tax rates were higher than statutory ratesprincipally as a result of state income taxes.

Minority interest expense was $0.5 million in both thesecond quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2005.

Earnings from unconsolidated investees increased by$1.1 million, or 116.8%, to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 comparedto $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2005.

***Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to June 30,2005***

Revenue increased $16.2 million, or 7.6%, to $230.6million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $214.4 million in the firstsix months of 2005 primarily due to higher PET and PET/CT revenue and higherother modalities and other revenue, offset by lower MRI revenue. PET and PET/CTrevenue in the first six months of 2006 increased $20.7 million, or 46.6%,compared to the first six months of 2005. Total PET and PET/CT scan volumesincreased 50.0% to 49,198 scans in the first six months of 2006 from 32,809 scansin the first six months of 2005, primarily as a result of growth in our corePET business and the PET Scans of America Corp. acquisition.

Equipment rental expense increased $0.6 million, or27.5%, primarily due to a higher number of rental systems in use to supportcurrent clients while continuing to improve route efficiency. Fuel expensesincreased $0.6 million, or 23.2%, primarily due to higher average diesel fuelprices in 2006. Site fee expense increased $0.3 million, or 12.8%, primarilydue to an increase in the number of retail fixed sites in operation. Tractorand transportation expenses increased $0.2 million, or 15.1%, primarily due toan increase in the number of tractors on operating leases. Outside medicalservices increased $0.2 million, or 3.7%, primarily as a result of an increasein outside radiologists service costs and physicist service costs associatedwith PET and PET/CT services.

Amortization expense increased by $0.7 million, or38.8%, to $2.5 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to$1.8 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to theamortization of intangible assets acquiredin conjunction with our acquisitions in the third and fourth quarters of 2005.

Interest expense, net, increased$2.7 million, or 16.0%, to $19.8 million in the first six months of 2006compared to $17.1 million in the first six months of 2005. This increase is dueto higher average debt balances during the second quarter of 2006 as a resultof 2005 acquisitions and higher average interest rates on our variable rateterm loans. The increase in interest rates on our variable rate term loans waspartially offset by the execution of various interest rate swap and collaragreements in 2004 and 2005 to manage against future interest rate increases onmost of our variable rate term loans. Of the total increase, $1.0 million wasrelated to variability in the fair value of our interest rate swaps executed in2004.

Income tax expense was $7.2 millionand $8.9 million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively,resulting in effective tax rates of 40.9% and 40.3% in the first six months of2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax rates were higher than statutoryrates for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 primarily as a result of stateincome taxes.

Minority interest expense was $1.0 million inboth the first six months of 2006 and 2005.

Earnings from unconsolidated investees increased by$1.4 million, or 89.1%, to $3.0 million in the first six months of 2006compared to $1.6 million in the first six months of 2005.

**Liquidity andCapital Resources**

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided byoperating activities. We generated $48.4 million and $50.7 million of cash flowfrom operating activities in the first six months of 2006 and 2005,respectively. Our ability to generate cash flow is affected by numerousfactors, including demand for MRI, PET and other diagnostic imaging services.Our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities is also dependentupon the collections of our accounts receivable. The provision for doubtfulaccounts increased by $0.1 million in the first six months of 2006 compared tothe first six months of 2005. Our number of days of revenue outstanding for ouraccounts receivable was 46 days and 45 days as of June 30, 2006 and 2005,which we believe is among the more favorable in the healthcare serviceindustry. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, we had $50.0 million availableborrowings under our revolving line of credit.

Our primary use ofcapital resources is to fund capital expenditures. We used cash of $30.3million and $24.3 million for investing activities in the first six months of2006 and 2005, respectively. We incur capital expenditures for the purposes of:

·       purchasingnew systems;

·       replacingless advanced systems with new systems;

·       providingupgrades of our MRI and PET and PET/CT systems and upgrading our corporateinfrastructure for future growth.

Capital expenditures totaled $43.0 million and $28.9million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. During thefirst six months of 2006 we purchased 4 MRI systems, 18 PET/CT systems and 3 CTsystems. We traded-in or sold a total of 32 total systems for the six monthsended June 30, 2006. Our decision to purchase a new system is typicallypredicated on obtaining new or extending existing client contracts, which serveas the basis of demand for the new system. We expect to purchase additionalsystems in 2006 and finance substantially all of these purchases with ouravailable cash, cash from operating activities, our revolving line of credit,and equipment leases. Based upon the client demand

----

described above, whichdictates the type of equipment purchased, we expect capital expenditures tototal approximately $85 to $90 million in 2006.

We believe that, based oncurrent levels of operations, our cash flow from operating activities, togetherwith other available sources of liquidity, including borrowings available underour revolving loan facility, will be sufficient over the next one to two yearsto fund anticipated capital expenditures and make required payments ofprincipal and interest on our debt.

**Recent AccountingPronouncements**

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accountingfor Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”), which is a replacement ofAPB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS 3, “ReportingAccounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This statement changes therequirements for the accounting for and reporting of all voluntary changes inaccounting principle and in the instance that a pronouncement does not includespecific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospectiveapplication to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accountingprinciple, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specificeffects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective foraccounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have amaterial impact on our consolidated financial position or results ofoperations.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging IssuesTask Force Issue No. 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner,or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or SimilarEntity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”(“EITF 04-05”).EITF 04-05 clarifies how general partners in a limited partnershipshould determine whether they control a limited partnership. A general partnerof a limited partnership is presumed to control the limited partnership unlessthe limited partners have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights.For general partners of all new limited partnerships formed and for existinglimited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified,EITF 04-05 is effective after June 29, 2005. For generalpartners in all other limited partnerships, EITF 04-05 is effectivefor the first period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.The adoption of EITF 04-05 did not have a material impact on ourconsolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASBissued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in IncomeTaxes”(“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting forIncome Taxes” (“FASB 109”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting foruncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statementsin accordance with FASB 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognitionthreshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition andmeasurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest andpenalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 iseffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not believethe adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on our consolidatedfinancial position or results of operations.

The foregoing should not be construed as an exhaustive list of allfactors which could cause actual results to differ materially from thoseexpressed in forward-looking statements made by us.

**ITEM 3.**                QUANTITATIVEAND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We sell our services exclusively in the United Statesand receive payment for our services exclusively in United States dollars. As aresult, our financial results are unlikely to be affected by factors such aschanges in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions inforeign markets.

Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in thegeneral level of interest rates in the United States, particularly because themajority of our indebtedness has interest rates which are variable. Therecorded carrying amount of our long-term debt under our existing creditagreement approximates fair value as these borrowings have variable rates thatreflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. To decreasethe risk associated with interest rate increases, we entered into multipleinterest rate swap and collar agreements for a portion of our variable ratedebt. The collars are designated as cash flow hedges of variable future cashflows associated with our long-term debt.

During 2004 we entered into swap agreements which havenotional amounts of $56.8 million, $46.8 million and $48.4 million at June 30,2006. Under the terms of these agreements, we receive three-month LIBORand pay a fixed rate of 3.15%, 3.89%, and 3.69%, respectively. The net effect isto record interest expense at fixed rates of 5.65%, 6.39% and 6.19%respectively, as the debt incurs interest based on three-month LIBOR plus2.50%. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreements are recorded ininterest expense each period. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,2006, we received a net settlement amount of$0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the quarter and six monthsended June 30, 2005 we paid a net settlement amount of $0.3 million and$0.7 million, respectively. The swap agreements mature during 2007.

During 2005 we entered into multiple interest ratecollar agreements which have a notional amount of $178.0 million. Under theterms of these agreements, we have purchased a cap on the interest rate of4.00% and have sold a floor of 2.25%. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,2006, we received a net settlement amount of $0.3 million and $0.4 million,respectively, on these collar agreements. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,2005, we did not record any net settlement on these collar agreements. Thecollar agreements mature at various dates between January 2007 and January 2008.

The collar agreements have been designated as cashflow hedges of variable future cash flows associated with our long term debt.In accordance with SFAS 133, the collars are recorded at fair value. On aquarterly basis, the fair value of the collars will be determined based onquoted market prices and, assuming perfect effectiveness, the differencebetween the fair value and the book value of the collars will

be recognized incomprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. Any ineffectivenessof the collars is required to be recognized in earnings.

The outstanding interest rate swaps and collars exposeus to credit risk in the event that the counterparties to the agreements do notor cannot meet their obligations. The notional amount is used to measureinterest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposureto credit loss. The loss would be limited to the amount that would have beenreceived, if any, over the remaining life of the swap and collar agreements.The counterparties to the swaps and collars are major financial institutionsand we expect the counterparties to be able to perform their obligations underthe swaps and collars.

Our interest income issensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the UnitedStates, particularly because the majority of our investments are in cashequivalents. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalentsapproximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

**ITEM 4.**                CONTROLSAND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures thatare designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in ourExchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within thetime periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that suchinformation is accumulated and communicated to our management, including ourChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allowtimely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating thedisclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls andprocedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide onlyreasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, andmanagement necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating thecost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we haveinvestments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or managethese entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to suchentities are more limited than those we maintain with respect to ourconsolidated subsidiaries. These unconsolidated entities are not consideredmaterial to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), wecarried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation ofour management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief FinancialOfficer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosurecontrols and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report.Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officerconcluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at thereasonable assurance level.

In connection with the restatement and the filing ofthis Form 10-Q/A, we, with the participation of management, including our ChiefExecutive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated our disclosurecontrols and procedures.  In performingthe re-evaluation, we considered the effects of the restatement that resulted fromthe error in the accounting for interest rate swap agreements. Based on theforegoing re-evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the endof the quarter covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures wereeffective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting occurring during the fiscal quarter covered bythis report which have materially affected or are reasonably likely tomaterially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
