Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of Merge Healthcare Incorporated (Merge, we, us or our) and AMICAS, Inc. (AMICAS) after giving effect to our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of AMICAS.

On April 28, 2010, we completed the acquisition of AMICAS through a tender offer for the outstanding shares of common stock of AMICAS at $6.05 per share in cash.  Following the tender offer, we purchased the remaining shares pursuant to a merger of a subsidiary of Merge with and into AMICAS.  Total transaction consideration was approximately $223.9 million for the 37,009,990 outstanding shares.  In addition, shortly before the completion of the acquisition, AMICAS paid cash to holders of vested, in-the-money stock options for the difference between $6.05 per share and the exercise price of such options.  Further, the holders of shares of restricted stock were paid $6.05 per share in cash.  The total consideration paid to option and restricted stock holders was approximately $22.9 million.

We financed the transaction with $200 million of senior secured notes (Notes), cash already available at the two companies and proceeds of $41.8 million from the issuance of preferred and common stock.  The Notes were issued at 97.266% of the principal amount, are due in 2015, bear interest at 11.75% of principal (payable on May 1st and November 1st of each year) and were offered in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We issued 41,750 shares of preferred stock and 7,515,000 shares of common stock for the $41.8 million of proceeds received.  As of March 31, 2010, we had received and placed $30.0 million of the stock proceeds in escrow pursuant to the Merger Agreement with AMICAS and were required to release $4.3 million of the escrow to pay one-half of the break-up fees due to a former potential acquirer of AMICAS.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present (i) the historical balance sheets of Merge and AMICAS as of March 31, 2010, giving pro forma effect as if the acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2010, (ii) the historical statements of operations of Merge for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and  AMICAS for the period January 1, 2010 to April 28, 2010, giving pro forma effects as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009, (iii) the historical statements of operations of Merge and AMICAS for the three months ended March 31, 2010, giving pro forma effect as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 and (iv) the historical statements of operations of Merge (pro forma for the acquisitions of etrials Worldwide, Inc. (etrials) and Confirma, Inc. (Confirma) as if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2009) and AMICAS (pro forma for the acquisition of Emageon, Inc. (Emageon) as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009) for the year ended December 31, 2009, giving pro forma effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2009.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisitions, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma statements of operations, have a recurring impact.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.  The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable.

The acquisition of AMICAS was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations.  The total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using estimates made by us based on the work performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques.  The allocation of the purchase price used in this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement is preliminary and we expect to make adjustments, some of which could be material, until such time that we complete the final purchase price allocation.

On July 20, 2009, Merge completed the acquisition of etrials for total transaction consideration of $25.1 million.  Under terms of the agreement, Merge acquired all outstanding shares of etrials common stock for consideration per share of $0.80 in cash, without interest, and 0.3448 shares of Merge common stock.  On September 1, 2009, Merge completed the acquisition of Confirma for total transaction consideration of $16.3 million.  Under terms of the agreement, Merge acquired all outstanding shares of Confirma for 5,422,104 shares of Merge common stock.  These acquisitions were each accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Merge identified as the acquirer.  The amounts allocated to purchased and developed software, customer relationships, trade names and in-process  research and development (IPR&D) associated with these two acquisitions are estimated by us based on the work performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques.  The asset lives are determined based on projected future economic benefits and expected life cycles of the acquired intangible assets.  Amortization on the value assigned to IPR&D commenced upon completion of the associated research and development efforts.  The amounts assigned to goodwill related to these two acquisitions were not deductible for federal income tax purposes.  In addition, there was no deferred tax liability arising from the acquisition of the identifiable intangible assets associated with these two acquisitions.  On April 2, 2009, AMICAS completed the acquisition of Emageon for total transaction consideration of $39.0 million in cash.  The pro forma results of operations and financial position include adjustments to eliminate the effects of intangible assets and associated amortization recorded as a result of this transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial position of Merge that would have been recorded had the acquisitions of etrials and Confirma been completed as of the dates presented, or the consolidated results of operations of AMICAS that would have been recorded had the acquisition of Emageon been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of future results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not reflect the impact of any potential operational efficiencies, cost savings or economies of scale that we may achieve with respect to the combined operations, and do not include costs directly attributable to the transactions that were not incurred as of dates of such statements.  We have incurred significant costs related to the acquisition, debt offering and preferred stock issuance.  Based upon information available at the date of preparation of these pro forma financial statements, we anticipate total costs of the acquisition to be incurred by both parties, including a break-up fee owed to a former potential acquirer of AMICAS, will approximate $16.5 million.  The pro forma statements of operations include adjustments to eliminate $16.5 million, $12.0 million and $0.6 million of non-recurring acquisition-related expenses incurred through June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the following:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars other than share and per share data)

Note 1.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

On April 28, 2010, we completed our acquisition of AMICAS, Inc. (AMICAS) through a tender offer for the outstanding shares of common stock of AMICAS at $6.05 per share in cash.  Following the tender offer, we purchased the remaining shares pursuant to a merger of a subsidiary of Merge with and into AMICAS.  Total transaction consideration was approximately $223,910 for the 37,009,990 outstanding shares.  In addition, shortly before the completion of the acquisition, AMICAS paid cash to holders of vested, in-the-money stock options for the difference between $6.05 per share and the exercise price of such options.  The holders of shares of restricted stock were paid $6.05 per share in cash.  The total consideration paid to option and restricted stock holders was approximately $22,906.

We financed the transaction with $200,000 of senior secured notes (Notes), cash already available at the two companies and proceeds of $41,750 from the issuance of preferred and common stock.  The Notes were issued at 97.266% of the principal amount (resulting in net proceeds received of $194,532), are due in 2015, bear interest at 11.75% of principal (payable on May 1st and November 1st of each year) and were offered in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  In connection with the Notes, we incurred issuance costs of $8,572 through June 30, 2010 ($2,378 of which are recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010) and will incur additional issuance costs in the third quarter of 2010 related to the registration of the Notes.  These issuance costs are recorded as a long-term asset in our pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the five-year life of the Notes on our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.  The issuance costs and debt issuer discount will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Notes and, as a result, the amounts recorded on a quarterly and annual basis will increase over the life of the Notes.  For purposes of these pro forma statements, we have estimated the amortization of these costs using the effective interest rate method.

We issued 41,750 shares of preferred stock and 7,515,000 shares of common stock for the $41,750 of proceeds received.  The proceeds were allocated to preferred and common stock based upon the relative fair value of each instrument as estimated by us with the assistance of independent valuation specialists.  As a result, we recorded net preferred stock of $26,850 and common stock of $14,900.  Upon issuance of the preferred and common stock, we recorded a deemed dividend of $14,900 for the difference between the relative fair value of the preferred stock and the redemption value of $41,750.  In the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010, we have eliminated the deemed dividend from our net income (loss) available to common shareholders as it is a non-recurring item.  As of March 31, 2010, we had received and placed $30,000 of the preferred stock proceeds in escrow pursuant to the Merger Agreement with AMICAS and were required to release $4,300 of the escrow to pay one-half of the break-up fees due to a former potential acquirer of AMICAS.  In connection with the preferred and common stock offering, we incurred issuance costs of $798 ($142 of which are recorded in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010) and will incur additional costs in the third quarter of 2010 related to the registration of the common stock.  These issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in our pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Merge, etrials, Confirma, AMICAS and Emageon after giving effect to the consummated acquisitions, as well as certain reclassifications and pro forma adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes that the acquisition of AMICAS occurred on March 31, 2010.  The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the historical balances of Merge and AMICAS and pro forma adjustments.  As of March 31, 2010, Merge had 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 74,801,731 shares issued and outstanding.  Giving effect to the 7,515,000 shares of common stock issued in the transaction, Merge would have had 82,316,731 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 assume that Merge’s acquisitions of etrials, Confirma and AMICAS (including AMICAS’s acquisition of Emageon) occurred on January 1, 2009.  The Merge pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 combines the historical results of Merge for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and AMICAS for the period January 1, 2010 to April 28, 2010, including pro forma adjustments.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 combines the historical results of Merge and AMICAS and pro forma adjustments.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 combines the pro forma statements of operations for Merge and AMICAS and pro forma adjustments.  The pro forma statement of operations of Merge prior to the transaction with AMICAS combines the pro forma results of Merge for the year ended December 31, 2009, etrials for the period January 1, 2009 to July 19, 2009, and Confirma for the period January 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009, including pro forma adjustments.  The pro forma results of AMICAS, Inc. prior to the transaction with Merge combine the pro forma results of AMICAS for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Emageon for the period January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009, including pro forma adjustments.  These pro forma results exclude any extraordinary items that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except for share and per share data)

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position for future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had the acquisitions described above been consummated as of March 31, 2010 (for the pro forma balance sheet) or January 1, 2009 (for the pro forma statements of operations).

Note 2.
Purchase Price and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The total purchase price for AMICAS was $223,910, which consisted of $6.05 per share in cash, without interest, for all 37,009,990 outstanding shares of AMICAS common stock.  Based on the significance of the acquisitions of etrials and Confirma during 2009 by Merge, the purchase price information and final allocations related to these acquisitions are also included in these Notes, as appropriate.

The total purchase price paid as consideration for all outstanding shares of etrials was $25,077 (as further detailed below), and includes the cash and stock consideration paid to etrials restricted stock award holders as well as option holders with vested in-the-money shares that elected to exercise such options with a “cashless” exercise prior to the acquisition date, and, therefore, received the merger consideration.

The total purchase price paid as consideration for all outstanding shares of Confirma was $16,225.  The total purchase consideration was originally estimated at $22,000.  The $5,775 difference is due to a reduction in escrow of approximately $2,100 to adjust for a deficit in the closing date cash balance, as defined in the merger agreement, and a decrease in the per share price of Merge’s stock at the closing date, which resulted in a reduction in consideration of approximately $3,675.

The components of the purchase price are set forth in the following table:

   
etrials
   
Confirma
   
AMICAS
 
                (preliminary)  
Cash consideration paid
  $ 9,149     $ -     $ 223,910  
Share consideration based on issuance of 3,942,732and 5,422,104 shares of Merge common stock at a price per share of $4.04 and $3.01, respectively
    15,928       16,225       -  
Preliminary purchase price
  $ 25,077     $ 16,225     $ 223,910  

The purchase price for AMICAS will be allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the date the acquisition is completed.  The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill.  Based upon a preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price for AMICAS would be allocated as set forth in the following table (etrials and Confirma information are based on final allocations):

Net assets acquired
  $ 25,077     $ 16,225     $ 223,910  

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of AMICAS is based upon management’s estimates.  These estimates and assumptions are subject to change upon final valuation.

Cash and other net tangible assets/liabilities:  Cash and other net tangible assets were recorded at their respective carrying amounts, less $22,906 in cash consideration paid to option and restricted stock holders prior to the transaction (as discussed in Note 1).  For the purpose of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements only, the carrying value of these assets/liabilities has been assumed to approximate their fair values and should be treated as preliminary values.

(continued)
(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except for share and per share data)

Deferred Revenues:  For the purpose of the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, the carrying value of deferred revenue has been reduced by $15,844 based on our preliminary valuation consisting of an average of (i) our 2009 completed acquisitions and (ii) the acquisition of Emageon by AMICAS.

Goodwill:  For the purpose of the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, the carrying value of goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired.  Goodwill includes amounts assignable to acquired workforce which are also intangible assets not subject to amortization.

Identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization:  Identifiable intangible assets acquired that are subject to amortization include purchased and developed software, backlog, customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreements with certain employees.  Purchased and developed software is comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility.  Backlog represents contractual commitments assumed by us which have not been started or billed.  Customer relationships represent the value of underlying relationships and agreements with customers.  Trade names represent the fair value of marketing-related acquired assets.

The fair value of the AMICAS intangible assets is based on management’s preliminary valuation based on the work performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques.  The allocations to identified intangibles and goodwill for etrials, Confirma and AMICAS are set forth in the following table:

The intangible assets which resulted from AMICAS’ purchase of Emageon are set forth in the following table:

Estimated Life
 
Customer relationships
  $ 4,100       9.0

    500       9.0

    1,213

The pro forma results of operations and financial position include adjustments to eliminate the effects of these intangible assets and the associated amortization.

Deferred Tax Balances:  As of December 31, 2009 AMICAS had deferred tax assets that were subject to a full valuation allowance, including deferred tax assets relating to domestic federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $104 million.  Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of these NOLs in the event of an “ownership change” of the corporation.  Merge has currently not assessed its ability to utilize these tax attributes prior to their expiration.  For the purposes of these pro forma statements, we have assumed that any deferred tax liability arising from the acquisition of identifiable intangible assets will be fully offset by deferred tax assets.

Pre-acquisition contingencies:  Merge has currently not identified any material AMICAS pre-acquisition contingencies where a liability is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  If information becomes available prior to the end of the purchase price measurement period, which would indicate that a liability which existed at the acquisition date is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the purchase price allocation and result in additional goodwill.

Note 3.
