In certain cases, at the customers’ request, the Company is storing the product for a brief period of time. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.

IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc.

On May 26, 2004 and June 17, 2004, the Company sold two separate secured convertible promissory notes under a Note Purchase Agreement dated May 21, 2004, to IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. (“IMAGIN”) in the principal amounts of $400,000 and $300,000, respectively. Interest is charged on the outstanding principal at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is payable annually to the extent of positive cash flow on the anniversary dates of these notes. The principal and any unpaid interest must be paid on the earlier to occur of May 21, 2006 or when declared due and payable by IMAGIN upon occurrence of an event of default. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series C Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These notes are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. As of June 30, 2005, principal of $700,000 has been advanced and remains outstanding related to these notes. Full convertibility of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has agreed to seek such approval.

In a second stage of the financing IMAGIN agreed to purchase additional secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000. These notes were to be purchased over a six and a half month period, commencing July 15, 2004. These notes are due and payable on May 21, 2006. These notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series D Preferred Stock that, in turn is convertible into an aggregate of 52,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2005, principal of $1,208,500 has been advanced related to these notes. On June 30, 2005, IMAGIN converted $575,000 of these promissory notes into shares of Series D Preferred Stock that, in turn were converted into 23,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This conversion reduced the principal owed under these promissory notes from $1,208,500 to $633,500. Full convertibility of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has agreed to seek such approval.

The agreements with IMAGIN provided for a $200,000 transaction fee payable to IMAGIN upon completion of the financing. Under terms of these agreements, this fee obligation was to be reduced by an amount equal to $0.02 multiplied by the number of warrants issued to IMAGIN. The agreements with IMAGIN also provided for the issuance of new warrants for the purchase of 4,575,000 shares of common stock, which resulted in a $91,500 decrease in this fee obligation to $108,500. This fee obligation is included in the principal of the notes payable to IMAGIN at June 30, 2005. The Company allocated the proceeds received from this convertible debt with detachable warrants using the relative fair value of the individual elements at the time of issuance. The notes payable to IMAGIN contain an unamortized discount balance of approximately $29,000 at June 30, 2005. The discount of the debt is to be amortized over the term of the notes payable.

Patrick G. Rooney, Chairman of the Board of the Company is the son of Patrick Rooney, Director of Corporate Development of IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. Patrick G. Rooney and John E. McConnaughy, Jr. were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the financing with IMAGIN.

Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P.

Financing Agreements dated February 28, 2005

On February 28, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Solaris”) pursuant to which Solaris agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1,000,000 face amount of the Company’s 10% secured convertible promissory notes. As of June 30, 2005, Solaris has purchased $1,000,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on March 6, 2007. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series E Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2005, full convertibility of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has agreed to seek such approval.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price at the date of the agreement, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. On February 28, 2005, enough common shares were available to facilitate the conversion of substantially all of the debt into common stock. The fair value of the related Series E Preferred Stock at the commitment date of $2,200,000 less the $1,000,000 in loan proceeds, results in an intrinsic value of $1,200,000 for the beneficial conversion feature. However, the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the $1,000,000 proceeds of the debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company granted to Solaris a security interest in all of its assets to secure payment of the convertible promissory notes. The security interest is subordinate to the security interest previously granted in the same collateral to IMAGIN.

Financing Agreements dated June 27, 2005

On June 27, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Solaris pursuant to which Solaris agreed to purchase an aggregate of $400,000 face amount of the Company’s 10% secured convertible promissory notes. As of June 30, 2005, Solaris has purchased $400,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on March 6, 2007. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series F Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2005, full convertibility of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has agreed to seek such approval.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price at the date of the agreement, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. On June 27, 2005, enough common shares were available to facilitate the conversion of all of the debt into common stock. The fair value of the related Series F Preferred Stock at the commitment date of $1,600,000 less the $400,000 in loan proceeds, results in an intrinsic value of $1,200,000 for the beneficial conversion feature. However, the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the $400,000 proceeds of the debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company granted to Solaris a security interest in all of its assets to secure payment of the convertible promissory notes. The security interest is subordinate to the security interest previously granted in the same collateral to IMAGIN and Solaris.

Patrick G. Rooney, Chairman of the Board of the Company, is the general partner of Solaris.

7.
Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders converted 45,900 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 199,243 shares of common stock in the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

8.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period and earnings adjusted for preferred stock dividend requirements. Diluted earnings per common share assume that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each period were converted at those dates, with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. The convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2005 since it would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Litigation

Please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, filed on May 16, 2005, which discloses claims which have been filed against the Company. There have been no material developments with respect to these claims since the previously filed Quarterly Report.


10.
Stock Based Compensation

In connection with the May 2004 transaction with IMAGIN, the Company re-priced various options and warrants to employees that are subject to the variable accounting rules. The market price of the Company’s common stock decreased $0.03 from $0.12 at December 31, 2004 to $0.09 at June 30, 2005. Due to the decline in price, application of the variable accounting rules resulted in the reversal of stock based compensation by $102,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

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

We are including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB to make applicable and utilize the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by us to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, our examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result, or be achieved, or be accomplished.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

We experienced a loss of $949,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $643,000 for the same quarter in 2004. The larger loss in 2005 resulted primarily from increases in costs related to personnel and interest, offset by decreases in stock based compensation.

We generated no revenues from sales of systems in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. We earned revenues of $34,000 from upgrades of systems in the second quarter of 2005 compared to no revenues from system upgrades in the same period in 2004. Our service revenues decreased $65,000 to $171,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $236,000 in the same period in 2004. Service revenues in the three month period ended June 30, 2004 included the recognition of $50,000 in revenue relating to support provided to GE Medical Systems in conjunction with the sale of our Cardiac PET Software.

We generated gross profits of $35,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to profits of $119,000 for the same three months in 2004. Revenues of $50,000 relating to services provided to GE Medical Systems were included in gross profits in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Expense associated with manufacturing labor and overhead increased $49,000 to $87,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 from $38,000 in the same period in 2004. This $49,000 increase resulted primarily from the capitalization of $61,000 of manufacturing cost into inventory in 2004.

Our operating expenses decreased $28,000 to $712,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $740,000 for the same period in 2004.

We experienced a loss of $1,587,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $889,000 for the same period in 2004. The larger loss in 2005 resulted primarily from increases in costs related to personnel and interest, offset by decreases in stock based compensation.

Financial Condition

We had cash and cash equivalents of $368,000 on June 30, 2005. On the same date, we had accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding of $1,476,000. We did not sell any imaging systems in the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. In order to resolve our liquidity problems, we must sell imaging systems or seek alternative sources of debt or equity funding. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in selling new systems or securing additional debt or equity funds.

Since inception, we have been unable to sell our POSICAMTM systems in quantities sufficient to be operationally profitable. Consequently, we have sustained substantial losses. Due to the sizable selling prices of our systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed into service each year, revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year. We have an accumulated deficit of $60,019,000 at June 30, 2005. The Company will need to increase system sales to achieve profitability in the future.

These events raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent public accountants, which accompanied our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, was qualified with respect to that risk. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing to meet our cash needs we may have to severely limit or cease our business activities or may seek protection from our creditors under the bankruptcy laws.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from POSICAMTM system contracts are recognized when all significant costs have been incurred and the system has been shipped to the customer. The Company also recognizes revenue on bill and hold transactions when the product is completed and is ready to be shipped and the risk of loss is transferred to the customer. In certain cases, at the customers’ request, the Company is storing the product for a brief period of time. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.


ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable level. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


The Company’s management, including the Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met due to numerous factors, ranging from errors to conscious acts of an individual, or individuals acting together. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error and/or fraud may occur and not be detected.
