SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We entered into capital leases for approximately $21.4 million and $16.6
million, excluding capital leases assumed in acquisitions, during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We also acquired capital
equipment for approximately $19.1 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2008 that we had not paid for as of September 30, 2008. The offsetting
amount due is recorded in our consolidated balance sheet under accounts payable
and accrued expenses.
Detail of non-cash investing and financing activity related to
acquisitions can be found in Note 2.

RADNET, INC. AND AFFILIATES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
RadNet, Inc. or RadNet (formerly Primedex Health Systems, Inc.) ("we"
or the "Company") was incorporated on October 21, 1985 in New York. On September
3, 2008, we reincorporated in the state of Delaware. We operate a group of
regional networks comprised of 165 diagnostic imaging facilities located in
seven states with operations primarily in California, the Mid-Atlantic, the
Treasure Coast area of Florida, Kansas and the Finger Lakes (Rochester) and
Hudson Valley areas of New York, providing diagnostic imaging services including
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission
tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic
radiology, or X-ray, and fluoroscopy. The Company's operations comprise a single
segment for financial reporting purposes.
The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of
RadNet Management, Inc., or RadNet Management, and Beverly Radiology Medical
Group III (BRMG), which is a professional partnership, all collectively referred
to as "us" or "we". The consolidated financial statements also include RadNet
Sub, Inc., RadNet Management I, Inc., RadNet Management II, Inc., SoCal MR Site
Management, Inc., Radiologix, Inc., RadNet Management Imaging Services, Inc.,
Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. (DIS), all
wholly owned subsidiaries of RadNet Management.
Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a
member of our Board of Directors and owns approximately 18% of our outstanding
common stock. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in
BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at the majority of
our facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and
contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to
provide the professional medical services at most of our other California
facilities. We generally obtain professional medical services from BRMG in
California, rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries,
in order to comply with California's prohibition against the corporate practice
of medicine. However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and
BRMG, we believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is
provided at our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and
expectations and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if
we obtained these services from unaffiliated physician groups. The operations of
BRMG are consolidated with the Company as a result of the contractual and
operational relationship among BRMG, Dr. Berger, and us. We are considered to
have a controlling financial interest in BRMG pursuant to the guidance in
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-2 (EITF 97-2). BRMG is a partnership of
Pronet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. (99%), Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. (100%)
and Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc. (99%), each of which are 99% or 100%
owned by Dr. Berger. RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative
services to BRMG for which it receives a management fee.
At a portion of our centers in California and at all of the centers
which are located outside of California, we have entered into long-term
contracts with prominent radiology groups in the area to provide physician
services at those facilities. These third party radiology practices provide
professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic
imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers. The radiology practices
maintain full control over the provision of professional services. The
contracted radiology practices generally have outstanding physician and practice
credentials and reputations; strong competitive market positions; a broad
sub-specialty mix of physicians; a history of growth and potential for continued
growth. In these facilities we enter into long-term agreements with radiology
practice groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to
obtaining technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the
provision of technical services, we provide management services and receive a
fee based on the practice group's professional revenue, including revenue
derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers. We own the diagnostic imaging
equipment and, therefore, receive 100% of the technical reimbursements
associated with imaging procedures. The radiology practice groups retain the
professional reimbursements associated with imaging procedures after deducting
management service fees. Our management service fees are included in net revenue
in the consolidated statement of operations and totaled $8.7 million and $7.5
million, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
and $24.9 and $23.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. We have no financial controlling interest in the contracted
radiology practices, as defined in EITF 97-2; accordingly, we do not consolidate
the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial
statements.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of our management, all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
8
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 have been made. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
for a full year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had a working capital balance of $9.1 million and $23.2 million at
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We had net income of
$138,000 and a net loss of $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively. We had net losses of $2.1 million and $6.4
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. We
also had a stockholders' deficit of $74.2 million and $69.8 million at September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that
requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to
operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up
and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of
additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our
existing debt and contractual obligations. Because our cash flows from
operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we
have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with
third parties.
Our business strategy with regard to operations focuses on the
following:
|X| Maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
|X| Focusing on profitable contracting;
|X| Expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
|X| Optimizing operating efficiencies; and
|X| Expanding our networks.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make
payments on our debt and other contractual obligations will depend on our future
financial performance. A range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative
and business factors, many of which are outside of our control, will affect our
financial performance. Although no assurance can be given, taking these factors
into account, including our historical experience, we believe that through
implementing our strategic plans and continuing to restructure our financial
obligations, we will obtain sufficient cash to satisfy our obligations as they
become due in the next twelve months.
On February 22, 2008, we secured a second incremental $35 million
("Second Incremental Facility") of capacity as part of our existing credit
facilities with GE Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services. The Second
Incremental Facility consists of an additional $35 million as part of our second
lien term loan and the first lien term loan or revolving credit facility may be
increased by up to an additional $40 million sometime in the future. As part of
the transaction, partly due to a material drop in LIBOR since the credit
facilities were established in November 2006, we increased the Applicable LIBOR
Margin to 4.25% for the revolving credit facility and the term loan to 9% from
6% for the second lien term loan. The additions to our existing credit
facilities are intended to provide capital for near-term opportunities and
future expansion.
NOTE 2 - FACILITY ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
ACQUISITIONS
On August 15, 2008, we acquired the women's imaging practice of Parvis
Gamagami, M.D., Inc. in Van Nuys, CA for $600,000. Upon acquisition, we
relocated the practice to a nearby center we recently acquired from InSight
Health in Encino, CA. We rebranded the InSight center as the Encino Breast Care
Center, and focused it on Digital Mammography, Ultrasound, MRI and other
modalities pertaining to women's health. We have allocated the full purchase
price of $600,000 to goodwill.
On July 23, 2008, we acquired the assets and business of NeuroSciences
Imaging Center in Newark, Delaware for $4.5 million in cash. The center, which
performs MRI, CT, Bone Density, X-ray, Fluoroscopy and other specialized
procedures, is located in a highly specialized medical complex called the
Neuroscience and Surgery Institute of Delaware. The acquisition complements our
9
recent purchase of the Papastavros Associates Imaging centers completed in
March, 2008. We have made a preliminary purchase price allocation of the
acquired assets and liabilities, and approximately $2.6 million of goodwill was
recorded with respect to this transaction.
On June 18, 2008, we acquired the assets and business of Ellicott Open
MRI for the assumption of approximately $181,000 of capital lease debt. We have
made a preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and
liabilities, and no goodwill was recorded with respect to this transaction.
On June 2, 2008, we acquired the assets and business of Simi Valley
Advanced Medical, a Southern California based multi-modality imaging center, for
the assumption of capital lease debt of $1.7 million. We have made a preliminary
purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and liabilities, and
approximately $313,000 of goodwill was recorded with respect to this
transaction.
On April 15, 2008, we acquired the net assets of five Los Angeles area
imaging centers from InSight Health Corp. We completed the purchase of a sixth
center in Van Nuys, CA from Insight Health Corp. on June 2, 2008. The total
purchase price for the six centers was $8.5 million in cash. The centers provide
a combination of imaging modalities, including MRI, CT, X-ray, Ultrasound and
Mammography. We have made a preliminary purchase price allocation of the
acquired assets and liabilities, and approximately $5.6 million of goodwill was
recorded with respect to this transaction.
On April 1, 2008, we acquired the net assets and business of BreastLink
Medical Group, Inc., a prominent Southern California Breast Medical Oncology
business and a leading breast surgery business, for the assumption of
approximately $4.0 million of accrued liabilities and capital lease obligations.
We have made a preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and
liabilities, and approximately $2.1 million of goodwill was recorded with
respect to this transaction.
On March 12, 2008, we acquired the net assets and business of
Papastavros Associates Medical Imaging for $9.0 million in cash and the
assumption of capital leases of $337,000. Founded in 1958, Papastavros
Associates Medical Imaging is one of the largest and most established outpatient
imaging practices in Delaware. The 12 Papastavros centers offer a combination of
MRI, CT, PET, nuclear medicine, mammography, bone densitometry, fluoroscopy,
ultrasound and X-ray. We have made a preliminary purchase price allocation of
the acquired assets and liabilities, and approximately $3.4 million of goodwill,
and $1.2 million for covenants not to compete, was recorded with respect to this
transaction. In September 2008, we retired two MRI units from this acquisition
and reclassified them to Other Current Assets on our consolidated balance sheet
as of September 30, 2008, as assets held for sale. The amount reclassified was
approximately $425,000 and is what we expect to receive upon completion of the
sale of these assets during the fourth quarter of 2008.
On February 1, 2008, we acquired the net assets and business of The
Rolling Oaks Imaging Group, located in Westlake and Thousand Oaks, California,
for $6.0 million in cash and the assumption of capital leases of $2.7 million.
The practice consists of two centers, one of which is a dedicated women's
center. The centers are multimodality and include a combination of MRI, CT,
PET/CT, mammography, ultrasound and x-ray. The centers are positioned in the
community as high-end, high-quality imaging facilities that employ
state-of-the-art technology, including 3 Tesla MRI and 64 slice CT units. The
facilities have been fixtures in the Westlake/Thousand Oaks market since 2003.
We have made a preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and
liabilities, and approximately $6.7 million of goodwill was recorded with
respect to this transaction.
On October 9, 2007, we acquired the assets and business of Liberty
Pacific Imaging located in Encino, California for $2.8 million in cash. The
center operates a successful MRI practice utilizing a 3T MRI unit, the strongest
magnet strength commercially available at this time. The center was founded in
2003. The acquisition allows us to consolidate a portion of our Encino/Tarzana
MRI volume onto the existing Liberty Pacific scanner. This consolidation allows
us to move our existing 3T MRI unit in that market to our Squadron facility in
Rockland County, New York. Approximately $1.1 million of goodwill was recorded
with respect to this transaction. Also, $200,000 was recorded for the fair value
of a covenant not to compete contract.
In September 2007, we acquired the assets and business of three
facilities comprising Valley Imaging Center, Inc. located in Victorville, CA for
$3.3 million in cash plus the assumption of approximately $866,000 of debt. The
acquired centers offer a combination of MRI, CT, X-ray, Mammography, Fluoroscopy
and Ultrasound. The physician who provided the interpretive radiology services
to these three locations joined BRMG. The leased facilities associated with
these centers includes a total monthly rental of approximately $18,000.
Approximately $3.0 million of goodwill was recorded with respect to this
transaction. Also, $150,000 was recorded for the fair value of a covenant not to
compete contract.
10
In September 2007, we acquired the assets and business of Walnut Creek
Open MRI located in Walnut Creek, CA for $225,000. The center provides MRI
services. The leased facility associated with this center includes a monthly
rental of approximately $6,800 per month. Approximately $50,000 of goodwill was
recorded with respect to this transaction.
In July 2007, we acquired the assets and business of Borg Imaging Group
located in Rochester, NY for $11.6 million in cash plus the assumption of
approximately $2.4 million of debt. Borg was the owner and operator of six
imaging centers, five of which are multimodality, offering a combination of MRI,
CT, X-ray, Mammography, Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound. After combining the Borg
centers with RadNet's existing centers in Rochester, New York, RadNet has a
total of 11 imaging centers in Rochester. The leased facilities associated with
these centers includes a total monthly rental of approximately $71,000 per
month. Approximately $9.0 million of goodwill was recorded with respect to this
transaction. Also, $1.4 million was recorded for the fair value of covenant not
to compete contracts.
In March 2007, we acquired the assets and business of Rockville Open
MRI, located in Rockville, Maryland, for $540,000 in cash and the assumption of
a capital lease of $1.1 million. The center provides MRI services. The center is
3,500 square feet with a monthly rental of approximately $8,400 per month.
Approximately $365,000 of goodwill was recorded with respect to this
transaction.
DIVESTITURES
In December 2007, we sold 24% of a 73% investment in one of our
consolidated joint ventures for approximately $2.3 million reducing our
ownership to 49%. As a result of this transaction, we no longer consolidate this
joint venture. Accordingly, our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007
includes this 49% interest as a component of our total investment in
non-consolidated joint ventures where it is accounted for under the equity
method. The amounts eliminated from our consolidated balance sheet as a result
of the deconsolidation were not material. Since the deconsolidation occurred at
the end of 2007, no significant amounts were eliminated from our statement of
operations.
In October 2007 we divested a non-core center in Golden, Colorado for
$325,000.
In June 2007 we divested a non-core center in Duluth, Minnesota to a
local multi-center operator for $1.3 million.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
We have nine unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests
ranging from 22% to 50%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with
hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose
of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers. Professional services at the
joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology
practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture. Our
investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method.
Investment in joint ventures increased $3.6 million to $18.6 million at
September 30, 2008 compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2007. This increase
is primarily related to our purchase of an additional $728,000 of share holdings
in joint ventures that were existing as of December 31, 2007 as well as our
equity earnings of $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
offset by $2.4 of distributions received during the period.
We received management service fees from the centers underlying these
joint ventures of approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $5.6 million and
$3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The following table is a summary of key financial data for these joint
ventures as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (in

NOTE 5 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
We have three long-term incentive plans. We have not issued options
under the 1992 plan since the inception of the 2000 plan and we have not issued
options under the 2000 plan since the adoption of the 2006 plan. We have
reserved for issuance under the 2006 plan 2,500,000 shares of common stock.
Options granted under the 2006 plan to employees are intended to qualify as
incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. In addition, we issue
non-qualified stock options and warrants under the 2006 plan from time to time
to non-employees, in connection with acquisitions and for other purposes and we
may also issue stock under the plans. Stock options and warrants generally vest
over three to five years and expire five to ten years from date of grant.
As of September 30, 2008, 642,500, or approximately 39.2%, of all the
outstanding stock options and warrants under our option plans are fully vested.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we granted options and warrants
to acquire 545,000 shares of common stock.
We have issued warrants outside the plan under various types of
arrangements to employees, in conjunction with debt financing and in exchange
for outside services. All warrants issued to employees, directors and
consultants after our February 2007 listing on the NASDAQ Global Market have
been characterized as awards under the 2006 plan. All warrants outside the plan
are issued with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant. The warrants expire from five to
seven years from the date of grant. Vesting terms are determined by the board of
directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors at the date of
grant.
As of September 30, 2008, 2,741,237, or approximately 80.4%, of all the
outstanding warrants outside the 2006 plan are fully vested. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, we did not grant any warrants outside the 2006
plan.
The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is net
of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards' service period. In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, we classified
equity-based compensation in operating expenses with the same line item as the
majority of the cash compensation paid to employees.
The following tables illustrate the impact of equity-based compensation
on reported amounts (in thousands except per share data):

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the
difference between our closing stock price on September 30, 2008 and the
exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and warrants on
September 30, 2008. Total intrinsic value of options and warrants exercised
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $3.9 million.
As of September 30, 2008, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense
related to non-vested employee awards was approximately $5.8 million, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5
years.
The fair value of each option/warrant granted is estimated on the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account as of
the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the option/warrant, the
current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected
dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the
option/warrant.
The following is the weighted average data used to calculate the fair
value:
RISK-FREE EXPECTED EXPECTED EXPECTED
INTEREST RATE LIFE VOLATILITY DIVIDENDS
------------- ---- ---------- ---------
September 30, 2008 2.75% 3.7 years 74.68% --
September 30, 2007 4.64% 4.1 years 94.65% --
We have determined the expected term assumption under the "Simplified
Method" as defined in SAB 107, as amended by SAB 110. The expected stock price
volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant
with an equivalent remaining term. We have not paid dividends in the past and do
not currently plan to pay any dividends in the near future.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options and
warrants granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was
$4.20 and $3.80, respectively.
NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We have adopted the
provisions of SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008 for financial instruments. Although
the adoption of SFAS 157 did not materially impact our financial position,
results of operations, or cash flow, we are now required to provide additional
disclosures as part of our financial statements.
SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1,
defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2,
defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either
directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs
in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to
develop its own assumptions.
The Company maintains interest rate swaps which are required to be
recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At September, 30, 2008 the fair
value of these swaps of $4.3 million was determined using Level 2 inputs and is
included in other non-current liabilities.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At the close of business on Oct 31, 2008 we acquired the assets of
Middletown Imaging located in Middletown, Delaware for $1,450,000 of which
$1,239,602 consisted of the assumption of existing equipment debt with the
balance paid in cash. The facility offers MRI, CT and ultrasound.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking

OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read along with the unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, as well
as the Company's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which provides a more thorough discussion of the Company's
services, industry outlook, and business trends.
We operate a group of regional networks comprised of 165 diagnostic
imaging facilities located in seven states with operations primarily in
California, the Mid-Atlantic, the Treasure Coast area of Florida, Kansas and the
Finger Lakes (Rochester) and Hudson Valley areas of New York, providing
diagnostic imaging services including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed
tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine,
mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology, or X-ray, and fluoroscopy. The
Company's operations comprise a single segment for financial reporting purposes.
The results of operations of Radiologix and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from
November 15, 2006, the date of the Company's acquisition of Radiologix. The
consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of RadNet
Management, Inc., or RadNet Management, and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III
(BRMG), which is a professional partnership, all collectively referred to as
"us" or "we". The consolidated financial statements also include RadNet Sub,
Inc., RadNet Management I, Inc., RadNet Management II, Inc., SoCal MR Site
Management, Inc., Radiologix, Inc., RadNet Management Imaging Services, Inc.,
Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. (DIS), all
wholly owned subsidiaries of RadNet Management.
Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a
member of our Board of Directors and owns approximately 18% of our outstanding
common stock. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in
BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at the majority of
our facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and
contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to
provide the professional medical services at most of our other California
facilities. We generally obtain professional medical services from BRMG in
California, rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries,
in order to comply with California's prohibition against the corporate practice
of medicine. However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and
BRMG, we believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is
provided at our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and
expectations and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if
we obtained these services from unaffiliated physician groups. The operations of
BRMG are consolidated with the Company as a result of the contractual and
operational relationship among BRMG, Dr. Berger, and us. We are considered to
have a controlling financial interest in BRMG pursuant to the guidance in
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-2 (EITF 97-2). BRMG is a partnership of
Pronet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. (99%), Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. (100%)
and Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc. (99%), each of which are 99% or 100%
owned by Dr. Berger. RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative
services to BRMG for which it receives a management fee.
At a portion of our centers in California and at all of the centers
which are located outside of California, we have entered into long-term
contracts with prominent radiology groups in the area to provide physician
services at those facilities. These third party radiology practices provide
professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic
imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers. The radiology practices
maintain full control over the provision of professional services. The
contracted radiology practices generally have outstanding physician and practice
credentials and reputations; strong competitive market positions; a broad
sub-specialty mix of physicians; a history of growth and potential for continued
growth.
In these facilities we enter into long-term agreements with radiology
practice groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to
obtaining technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the
provision of technical services, we provide management services and receive a
fee based on the practice group's professional revenue, including revenue
derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers. We own the diagnostic imaging
assets and, therefore, receive 100% of the technical reimbursements associated
with imaging procedures. We have no financial controlling interest in the
contracted radiology practices, as defined in EITF 97-2; accordingly, we do not
consolidate the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated
financial statements.
17
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that were prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements.
These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:
o Our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial
statements;
o Our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements; and
o Our reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in our
consolidated statements of operations during the reporting
periods.
These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that
are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. As a result,
actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates.
The SEC, defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both
most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results
of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex
judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
As of the period covered in this report, there have been no material
changes to the critical accounting estimates we use, and have explained, in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the

NET REVENUE
Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $131.7
million compared to $110.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, an increase of $21.5 million, or 19.5%.
Net revenue, including only those centers which were in operation
throughout the third quarters of both 2008 and 2007 increased $6.0 million, or
5.6%. This 5.6% increase is mainly due to an increase in procedure volumes. This
comparison excludes revenue contributions from centers that were acquired or
divested subsequent to June 30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30,
2008, net revenue from centers that were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2007
and excluded from the above comparison (see Note 2) was $18.3 million.
Contributing to the net revenue of the third quarter ended September 30, 2007
and excluded from the above comparison was $2.8 million from centers that were
divested and were not operational in the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
increased approximately $19.8 million, or 19.5%, from $101.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 to $121.4 million for the three months

Salaries and professional reading fees increased $9.2 million, or
20.3%, to $54.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to $45.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Salaries and professional reading fees, including only those centers
which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2008 and 2007,
increased $2.8 million, or 6.3%. This 6.3% increase is primarily due to
increased salaries and staffing to support the revenue growth of these existing
imaging centers. This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were
acquired or divested subsequent to June 30, 2007. For the three months ended
September 30, 2008, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that
were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison
(see Note 2) was $6.8 million. Contributing to the salaries and professional
reading fees of the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 and excluded from the
above comparison was $460,000 from centers that were divested and were not
operational in the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation increased $550,000, or 195.7%, to $831,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $281,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is primarily due to additional
options granted during the second half of 2007 and the first half of 2008.
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Building and equipment rental expenses increased $41,000, or 0.4%, to
$11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $10.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Building and equipment rental expenses, including only those centers
which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2008 and 2007,
decreased $918,000, or 8.6%. This 8.6% decrease is primarily due to the
conversion of certain equipment leases contracts from operating to capital
leases. This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired
or divested subsequent to June 30, 2007. For the three months ended September
30, 2008, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired
subsequent to June 30, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison (see Note 2)
was $1.3 million. Contributing to the building and equipment rental expenses of
the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 and excluded from the above
comparison was $303,000 from centers that were divested and were not operational
in the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses include billing fees, medical
supplies, office supplies, repairs and maintenance, insurance, business tax and
license, outside services, utilities, marketing, travel and other expenses. Many
of these expenses are variable in nature including medical supplies and billing
fees, which increase with volume and repairs and maintenance under our GE
service agreement as a percentage of net revenue. Overall, general and
administrative expenses increased $6.3 million, or 22.9%, for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 compared to the previous period. The increase is in
line with our increase in procedure volumes at both existing centers as well as
newly acquired centers.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.7 million, or 14.8%, to
$13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same
period last year. The increase is primarily due to property and equipment
additions for existing centers as well as newly acquired centers.
PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS
Provision for bad debts increased $670,000, or 10.5%, to $7.1 million,
or 5.3% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to $6.4 million, or 5.8% of net revenue, for the three months ended September
30, 2007. The decrease in our provision for bad debts as a percentage of revenue
is primarily due to an increase in collection performance and the completion of
our billing system implementation which began in the first quarter of 2007.
LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT
Loss on disposal of equipment was $1.5 million and $180,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The loss on
disposal in 2008 and 2007 primarily related to assets acquired in our November
2006 purchase of Radiologix.
SEVERANCE COSTS
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded severance
costs of $137,000 compared to $30,000 recorded during the three months ended
September 30, 2007. In each period, these costs were primarily associated with
the integration of Radiologix and other acquired operations.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008
increased approximately $530,000, or 4.6%, from the same period in 2007.
Included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007 is amortization of deferred loan costs of $669,000 and $498,000,
respectively as well as realized gains on our fair value hedges of $1.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and realized losses of $712,000 in
2007, respectively. The increase in interest expense exclusive of adjustments
for our fair value hedges is primarily due to the $60 million increase in Term
Loans B & C and increased borrowing on the line of credit.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded $14,000 in
income tax expense related to certain state tax obligations of Radiologix.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized equity in
earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.9 million compared to $1.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is due to
our purchase of additional equity interests in certain existing joint ventures
as well as the deconsolidation in the fourth quarter of 2007of a previously
consolidated joint venture increasing the number of our consolidated joint
ventures from eight to nine.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
NET REVENUE
Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $373.9
million compared to $323.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
an increase of $50.8 million, or 15.7%.
Net revenue, including only those centers which were in operation
throughout the first nine months of both 2008 and 2007, increased $15.8 million,
or 4.9%. This 4.9% increase is mainly due to an increase in procedure volumes.
This comparison excludes revenue contributions from centers that were acquired
or divested subsequent to January 1, 2007. For the nine months ended September
30, 2008, net revenue from centers that were acquired subsequent to January 1,
2007 and excluded from the above comparison (see Note 2) was $48.3 million. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net revenue from centers that were
acquired subsequent to January 1, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison
(see Note 2) was $4.2 million. Also excluded was $9.1 million from centers that
were divested subsequent to January 1, 2007.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
increased approximately $48.5 million, or 16.2%, from $299.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $348.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The following table sets forth our operating expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands):

SALARIES AND PROFESSIONAL READING FEES, EXCLUDING STOCK COMPENSATION AND
SEVERANCE
Salaries and professional reading fees increased $26.1 million, or
19.9%, to $157.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to $131.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Salaries and professional reading fees, including only those centers
which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2008 and 2007,
increased $12.3 million, or 9.4%. This 9.4% increase is primarily due to
increased salaries and staffing to support the revenue growth of these existing
imaging centers. This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were
acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2007. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that
were acquired subsequent to January 1, 2007 and excluded from the above
comparison (see Note 2) was $17.5 million. For the nine months ended September
30, 2007, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired
subsequent to January 1, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison (see Note
2) was $1.1 million. Also excluded was $2.6 million from centers that were
divested subsequent to January 1, 2007.
22
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation decreased $1.0 million, or 34.6%, to $1.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $2.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Share-based compensation for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $1.7 million of additional stock
based compensation expense as a result of the acceleration of vesting of certain
warrants.
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Building and equipment rental expenses increased $827,000, or 2.7%, to
$31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $31.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Building and equipment rental expenses, including only those centers
which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2008 and 2007,
decreased $2.0 million, or 6.5%. This 6.5% decrease is primarily due to the
conversion of certain equipment leases contracts from operating to capital
leases. This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired
or divested subsequent to January 1, 2007. For the nine months ended September
30, 2008, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired
subsequent to January 1, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison (see Note
2) was $4.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, building and
equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired subsequent to January
1, 2007 and excluded from the above comparison (see Note 2) was $561,000. Also
excluded was $987,000 from centers that were divested subsequent to January 1,
2007.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses include billing fees, medical
supplies, office supplies, repairs and maintenance, insurance, business tax and
license, outside services, utilities, marketing, travel and other expenses. Many
of these expenses are variable in nature including medical supplies and billing
fees, which increase with volume and repairs and maintenance under our GE

ended September 30, 2008 compared to the previous period. The increase is in
line with our increase in procedure volumes at both existing centers as well as
newly acquired centers.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $7.3 million, or 22.5%, to
$39.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 when compared to the
same period last year. The increase is primarily due to property and equipment
additions for existing centers and newly acquired centers.
PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS
Provision for bad debts decreased $170,000, or 0.8%, to $20.6 million,
or 5.5% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
$20.8 million, or 6.4% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. The decrease in our provision for bad debts as a percentage of revenue is
primarily due to an increase in collection performance and the completion of our
billing system implementation which began in the first quarter of 2007.
LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT
Loss on disposal of equipment was $1.5 million and $716,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The loss on
disposal in 2008 and 2007 primarily related to assets acquired in our November
2006 purchase of Radiologix.
SEVERANCE COSTS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded severance
costs of $172,000 compared to $815,000 recorded during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. In each period, these costs were primarily associated with
the integration of Radiologix and other acquired operations.
23
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased
approximately $6.0 million, or 18.7%, from the same period in 2007. The increase
is primarily due to the $60 million increase in Term Loans B & C and increased
borrowing on the line of credit. Also included in interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is amortization of deferred loan costs
of $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as well as realized gains of
$1.0 million and realized losses of $155,000 on our fair value hedges for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded
$151,000 and $115,000, respectively, for income tax expense related to certain
state tax obligations of Radiologix.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized equity in
earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $5.3 million compared to $3.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is due to
our purchase of additional equity interests in certain existing joint ventures
as well as the deconsolidation in the fourth quarter of 2007of a previously
consolidated joint venture increasing the number of our consolidated joint
ventures from eight to nine.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On November 15, 2006, we entered into a $405 million senior secured
credit facility with GE Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services (the
"November 2006 Credit Facility"). This facility was used to finance our
acquisition of Radiologix, refinance existing indebtedness, pay transaction
costs and expenses relating to our acquisition of Radiologix, and provide
financing for working capital needs post-acquisition. The facility consists of a
revolving credit facility of up to $45 million, a $225 million first lien Term
Loan and a $135 million second lien Term Loan. The revolving credit facility has
a term of five years, the term loan has a term of six years and the second lien
term loan has a term of six and one-half years. Interest is payable on all loans
initially at an Index Rate plus the Applicable Index Margin, as defined. The
Index Rate is initially a floating rate equal to the higher of the rate quoted
from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as the "base rate on corporate
loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's largest 30 banks" or the Federal
Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. The Applicable Index Margin on each of the
revolving credit facility and the term loan is 2% and on the second lien term
loan is 6%. We may request that the interest rate instead be based on LIBOR plus
the Applicable LIBOR Margin, which is 3.5% for the revolving credit facility and
the term loan and 7.5% for the second lien term loan. The credit facility
includes customary covenants for a facility of this type, including minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, maximum senior
leverage ratio, limitations on indebtedness, contingent obligations, liens,
capital expenditures, lease obligations, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales,
dividends and distributions, redemption or repurchase of equity interests,
subordinated debt payments and modifications, loans and investments,
transactions with affiliates, changes of control, and payment of consulting and
management fees.
On August 23, 2007, we secured an incremental $35 million ("Incremental
Facility") as part of our existing credit facilities with GE Commercial Finance
Healthcare Financial Services. The Incremental Facility consists of an
additional $25 million as part of our first lien Term Loan and $10 million of
additional capacity under our existing revolving line of credit. The Incremental
Facility will be used to fund certain identified strategic initiatives and for
general corporate purposes.
On February 22, 2008, we secured a second incremental $35 million
("Second Incremental Facility") of capacity as part of our existing credit
facilities with GE Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services. The Second
Incremental Facility consists of an additional $35 million as part of our second
lien term loan and the first lien term loan or revolving credit facility may be
increased by up to an additional $40 million sometime in the future. As part of
the transaction, partly due to the drop in LIBOR of over 2.00% since the credit
facilities were established in November 2006, we increased the Applicable LIBOR
Margin to 4.25% for the revolving credit facility and first lien term loan and
to 9.0% for the second lien term loan. The additions to our existing credit
facilities are intended to provide capital for near-term opportunities and
future expansion.
24
As part of the senior secured credit facility financing, we swapped 50%
of the aggregate principal amount of the facilities to a floating rate within 90
days of the closing. On April 11, 2006, effective April 28, 2006, we entered
into an interest rate swap on $73.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at
5.47% for a period of three years. This swap was made in conjunction with the
$161.0 million credit facility that closed on March 9, 2006. In addition, on
November 15, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap on $107.0 million
fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.02% for a period of three years, and on
November 28, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap on $90.0 million fixing
the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.03% for a period of three years. Previously, the
interest rate on the above $270.0 million portion of the credit facility was
based upon a spread over LIBOR which floats with market conditions.
The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge
effectiveness at the inception of the hedge, and, unless the instrument
qualifies for the short-cut method of hedge accounting, over the term of each
hedging relationship. The Company's use of derivative financial instruments is
limited to interest rate swaps, the purpose of which is to hedge the cash flows
of variable-rate indebtedness. The Company does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for speculative purposes. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, derivatives that have been designated
and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The
gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (i.e., change in fair value)
is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity. The remaining gain or
loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Of the derivatives that were
not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, we recorded a decrease to
interest expense of approximately $1.0 million, and an increase to interest
expense of $155,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The corresponding liability of approximately $500,000 is included
in the other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at
September 30, 2008. Of the derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedging
instruments, we recorded $3.8 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss,
and an offsetting liability of the same amount for the fair value of these
hedging instruments at September 30, 2008.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that
requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to
operations, we require significant amounts of capital for the initial start-up
and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of
additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our
existing debt and contractual obligations. Because our cash flows from
operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we
have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with
third parties.
Our business strategy with regard to operations will focus on the
following:
|X| Maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
|X| Focusing on profitable contracting;
|X| Expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
|X| Optimizing operating efficiencies; and
|X| Expanding our networks
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make
payments on our debt and other contractual obligations will depend on our future
financial performance. A range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative
and business factors, many of which are outside of our control, will affect our
financial performance. Taking these factors into account, including our
historical experience and our discussions with our lenders to date, although no
assurance can be given, we believe that through implementing our strategic plans
and continuing to restructure our financial obligations, we will obtain
sufficient cash to satisfy our obligations as they become due in the next twelve
months.
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
Cash provided by operating activities was $22.1 million and $20.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities was $50.2 million and $34.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, we purchased property and equipment for
approximately $21.0 million and acquired the assets and businesses of additional
imaging facilities for approximately $28.7 million (see Note 2). We also
purchased additional equity interests in joint ventures totaling $728,000.
25
Cash provided by financing activities was $28.0 million and $10.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 was primarily related to our borrowing of an additional $35 million as part
of our second lien term loan with GE Commercial Healthcare Financial Services as
well as additional borrowings on our line of credit.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency. We sell our services exclusively in the United States
and receive payment for our services exclusively in United States dollars. As a
result, our financial results are unlikely to be affected by factors such as
changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in
foreign markets.
Interest Rates. A large portion of our interest expense is not
sensitive to changes in the general level of interest in the United States
because the majority of our indebtedness has interest rates that were fixed when
we entered into the note payable or capital lease obligation. On November 15,
2006, we entered into a $405 million senior secured credit facility with GE
Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services. The facility consists of a
revolving credit facility of up to $45 million, a $225 million term loan and a
$135 million second lien term loan. Interest is payable on all loans initially
at an Index Rate plus the Applicable Index Margin, as defined. The Index Rate is
initially a floating rate equal to the higher of the rate quoted from time to
time by The Wall Street Journal as the "base rate on corporate loans posted by
at least 75% of the nation's largest 30 banks" or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50
basis points. Until February 22, 2008, the Applicable Index Margin on each the
revolving credit facility and the term loan was 2% and on the second lien term
loan was 6%. We may request that the interest rate instead be based on LIBOR
plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin, which was 3.5% for the revolving credit
facility and the term loan and 7.5% for the second lien term loan.
On February 22, 2008, we secured an incremental $35 million ("Second
Incremental Facility") as part of our existing credit facilities with GE
Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services. The Second Incremental
Facility consists of an additional $35 million as part of our second lien term
loan and the ability to further increase the second lien term loan by up to $25
million and the first line term loan or revolving credit facility by up to an
additional $40 million sometime in the future. As part of the transaction,
partly due to the drop in LIBOR of over 2.00% since the credit facilities were
established in November 2006, we increased the Applicable LIBOR Margin to 4.25%
for the revolving credit facility and the term loan and 9.0% for the second lien
term loan.
Debentures. As part of the financing, we were required to swap at least
50% of the aggregate principal amount of the facilities to a floating rate
within 90 days of the close of the agreement on November 15, 2006. On April 11,
2006, effective April 28, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap on $73.0
million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.47% for a period of three years.
This swap was made in conjunction with the $161.0 million credit facility closed
on March 9, 2006. In addition, on November 15, 2006, we entered into an interest
rate swap on $107.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.02% for a
period of three years, and on November 28, 2006, we entered into an interest
rate swap on $90.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.03% for a
period of three years. Previously, the interest rate on the above $270.0 million
portion of the credit facility was based upon a spread over LIBOR which floats
with market conditions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined under Rule l3a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
September 30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our financial
statement close process and our entity level controls.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
At September 30, 2008, the status of all current legal matters
previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 3, of our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 is unchanged except:
In Re DVI, Inc. Securities Litigation. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
EASTERN DISTRICT OF PA, DOCKET NO. 2:03-CV-05336-LDD
This is a class action securities fraud case under Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. It was brought by shareholders of DVI,
Inc. ("DVI"), one of our former major lenders, against DVI officers and
directors and a number of third party defendants, including us. The case arises
from bankruptcy proceedings instituted by DVI in August 2003. We were named as a
defendant in the Third Amended Complaint filed in July 2004.
The putative plaintiff class consists of those persons who purchased or
otherwise acquired DVI, Inc. securities between August of 1999 and August of
2003. Plaintiffs allege that in 2000, we acquired from a third party one or more
unprofitable imaging centers in order to help DVI conceal the fact that existing
DVI loans on the centers were delinquent. Plaintiffs argue that we should have
known that DVI was engaging in fraudulent practices to conceal losses, and our
alleged "lack of due diligence" in investigating DVI's finances in the course of
these acquisitions amounted to complicity in deceptive and misleading practices.
We denied all allegations.
We and the plaintiff have executed a stipulation to dismiss us from the
case in consideration of our agreement to waive our claim for costs against the
plaintiff. The dismissal is subject to notice to the class and court approval.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, we urge
you to carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A Risk
Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could
materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
