                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         (INFORMATION OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED

                   SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)



1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, and the
consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the
consolidated statements of stockholders' equity (deficit) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, have been prepared by the Company without
audit. The December 31, 1996 consolidated, condensed balance sheet is derived
from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
at September 30, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for all
periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, particularly accounts
receivable, and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may, in some
instances, differ from previously estimated amounts.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related
notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 included in the
Company's Form 10-K.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128").
SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share ("EPS")
previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share ("APB 15"), and
makes them comparable to international EPS standards. SFAS 128 replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully
diluted EPS pursuant to the APB 15. SFAS 128 also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for entities with
complex capital structures and a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15,1997, including interim periods;
earlier application is not permitted. SFAS 128 requires restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 128;
however, management does not believe that SFAS 128 will have a material impact
on the financial statements of the Company.

    In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS
130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130 does
not require a specific format for the financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement. SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company is
currently reviewing SFAS 130, but has not yet determined when or if it will
adopt the provisions of this statement.

Accumulated amortization related to equipment under capital leases was
approximately $646,000 and $949,000 at December 31, 1996 and September 30,

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

    NET REVENUES. Net revenues increased from $4.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, to $4.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $100,000 or 2%. The Company experienced growth in
total procedure volume, which increased from 17,644 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, to 21,193 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an
increase of 3,549 or 20%. Medical surgical procedures decreased from 7,258 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 6,656 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, a decrease of 602 or 8%. Aesthetic elective procedures
increased from 10,386 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 14,537
for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 4,151 or 40%.

    The average net revenue per case decreased from $252 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, to $215 for the three months ended September 30,
1997, a decrease of $37 per case or 15%. This decrease was attributable to a
change in case mix with aesthetic elective procedures, which during this period
had a lower average net revenue per case of $190 compared to $267 for the
medical surgical procedures, increasing as a percentage of total procedures
from 59% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to 69% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

    SALARIES AND BENEFITS EXPENSE. Salaries and benefits expense increased from
$1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $1.9 million for
the three months ended September 30,1997, an increase of $500,000 or 36%. This
increase was due to the hiring of additional field and corporate personnel to
support the Company's growth in procedure volume. Total employees for the
Company increased from 111 on September 30, 1996, to 189 on September 30, 1997,
an increase of 78 or 70%. Salaries and benefits expense as a percentage of net
revenues increased from 31.6 % to 42.8%.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased from $1.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $300,000 or 20%. This increase was due to an increase in
vehicle expense from $299,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to
$454,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $155,000
or 52%. This increase resulted from the increase in field personnel from 77 as
of September 30, 1996, to 132 as of September 30, 1997, each of whom is
supplied with a van for the delivery of equipment to physicians' offices. Also,
communications expense increased from $152,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, to $227,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
an increase of $75,000 or 49%, primarily due to the increase in field personnel
as noted above. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general, and
administrative expense increased from 32.6% to 38.5%.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased from
$437,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $794,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $357,000 or 82%. This
increase was due to the addition of $2.8 million in capital equipment during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

    PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. Provision for uncollectible accounts
decreased from $803,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to
$612,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $191,000
or 24%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in medical surgical
revenues from $2,458,000 to $1,776,000, a decrease of $682,000 or 28%. As a
percentage of net revenues, provision for uncollectible accounts decreased from
18.0% to 13.4%.

    OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income decreased from $359,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, to an operating loss of $556,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $915,000. This decrease
was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense, selling,
general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of net revenues.

    INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER, NET. Interest income and other, net, increased
from an expense of $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to
income of $206,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, an increase
of $231,000. This increase was primarily due to interest income earned on the
net cash proceeds from the Company's initial public offering which was
completed during the fourth quarter of 1996.

    INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT). Income tax provision decreased from
$109,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to a benefit of
$100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The Company's effective
tax rate decreased from 45.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to
a credit equal to 26.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

    NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the items discussed above, the Company's
net income decreased from $130,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996, to a net loss of $275,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
a decrease of $405,000.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

    NET REVENUES. Net revenues increased from $12.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, to $14.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $1.9 million or 15%. This increase was attributable to
the growth in total procedure volume, which increased from 50,553 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to 65,896 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of 15,343 or 30%. Medical surgical procedures remained
unchanged at 19,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
19,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Aesthetic elective
procedures increased from 30,605 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
to 45,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of 15,539
or 50%.

    The average net revenue per case decreased from $254 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, to $223 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
a decrease of $31 per case or 12%. This decrease was attributable to a change
in case mix with aesthetic elective procedures, which during this period had a
lower average net revenue per case of $189 compared to $276 for the medical
surgical procedures, increasing as a percentage of total procedures from 61%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 70% for the nine months ended
September 30,1997.

    SALARIES AND BENEFITS EXPENSE. Salaries and benefits expense increased from
$4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $6.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30,1997, an increase of $2.2 million or 52%.
This increase was due to the hiring of additional field and corporate personnel
to support the Company's growth in procedure volume. Total employees for the
Company increased from 111 on September 30, 1996, to 189 on September 30, 1997,
an increase of 78 or 70%. The Company added scheduling coordinators and
preverification personnel during the first quarter of 1997 as a continuation of
its efforts to reduce provisions for uncollectible accounts. Furthermore, the
Company incurred a $250,000 nonrecurring charge during the second quarter of
1997 for restructuring of its field operations. This charge included expenses
related to severance packages, relocation allowances, and recruitment fees
resulting from the restructuring of personnel. Salaries and benefits expense as
a percentage of net revenues increased from 32.3% to 43.4% due to increases in
salaries and benefits expense outpacing the increases in net revenues.

<PAGE>   10

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased from $4.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, an increase of $1.8 million or 42%. Vehicle expense increased from
$834,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $1.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $466,000 or 56%. This
increase resulted from the increase in field personnel from 77 as of September
30, 1996, to 132 as of September 30, 1997, each of whom is supplied with a van
for the delivery of equipment to physicians' offices. Repair and maintenance
expense increased from $430,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to
$733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $303,000
or 70%. This increase was due primarily to the addition of annual maintenance
contracts on new medical equipment. Communications expense increased from
$433,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $724,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $291,000 or 67%. This increase
was related to the hiring of additional field personnel. Furthermore, the
Company incurred a $250,000 charge during the second quarter of 1997 for a
restructuring of its field operations. This charge includes expenses related to
the divestiture of certain delivery vans and legal/professional fees related to
accounts receivable and managed care initiatives. Selling, general and
administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues increased from 33.1% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to 41.3% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Without the $250,000 nonrecurring charge, selling, general
and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues would have been
39.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased from
$1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $2.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.3 million or 118%.
This increase was due to the addition of $2.8 million in capital equipment
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

    PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. Provision for uncollectible accounts
increased from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to
$3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.1
million or 50%, due to a nonrecurring charge of $1.2 million recorded during
the second quarter of 1997 to increase reserves for uncollectible accounts.
These reserves were necessary to offset a significant shift in the payment
trends experienced from certain noncontracted third party payors during the
second quarter of 1997. As a percentage of net revenue, provision for
uncollectible accounts increased from 17.3% to 22.3%. Without the nonrecurring
charge of $1.2 million, provision for uncollectible accounts as a percentage of
net revenues would have been 14.1% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.

    OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income decreased from $1.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to an operating loss of $3.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease was primarily due
to an increase in salaries and benefits expense, selling, general and
administrative expense, provision for uncollectible accounts and depreciation
of new capital equipment as a percentage of net revenues.

     INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER, NET. Interest income and other, net, increased
from an expense of $13,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to
income of $582,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of
$595,000. This increase was primarily due to interest income earned on the net
cash proceeds from the Company's initial public offering which was completed
during the fourth quarter of 1996. 

    INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased from $246,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, to $89,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, a decrease of $157,000 or 64%. The Company's debt burden decreased
from $4.0 million as of September 30, 1996 to $574,000 as of September 30,
1997.

    INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT). Income tax provision decreased from
$372,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to a benefit of $827,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company's effective tax rate
decreased from 42.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to a credit
equal to 28.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

    NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the items discussed above, the Company's
net income decreased from $499,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, to a net loss of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    From its inception through 1993, the Company's operating expenses
significantly exceeded its net revenues, resulting in an accumulated retained
deficit of approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 1993. From 1994 until
March 31, 1997, the Company recorded positive earnings, which resulted in a
retained earnings of $431,290 as of March 31, 1997. As of September 30, 1997,
the Company has an accumulated retained deficit of $1.7 million, due primarily
to 



                                      10
<PAGE>   11

nonrecurring charges of $1.4 million (net of taxes) incurred during the
second quarter of 1997. Until October 1996, the Company funded its operations
primarily through the private placement of equity securities, bank borrowings
and cash provided by operations. Prior to its initial public offering, which
was completed on October 11, 1996, the majority of the capital raised by the
Company had been raised from the private placement of $2.2 million of equity
securities, including $750,000 raised in July 1992 and approximately $1.5
million raised in November 1995. The Company obtained a $2.0 million credit
facility from NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank") in June 1995. This
facility was composed of several tranches bearing interest rates ranging from
prime plus 0.5% to prime plus 1.5%. The net proceeds from such facility were
used to retire outstanding debt and to purchase medical equipment. The Company's
facility with NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank") was increased to $4.3
million in March 1996. The NationsBank debt was paid off in full during October
1996 with a portion of the net proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering.

    Net cash provided by (used in) the Company's operations was $250,000 and
$(1,409,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. For its investing activities, the Company consumed $2,138,000 and
$3,329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively,
primarily for the purchase of medical equipment and payment for acquisitions.
Capital expenditures were $1,612,000 and $2,754,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in)
financing activities were $1,344,000 and $(157,000) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The cash provided from financing
activities in such periods were primarily provided by the proceeds from bank
borrowings.

                                    PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    The Company is the plaintiff in an action entitled Medical Alliance, Inc.
vs. Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. and Cosmetic Technology International,
Inc., pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Texas, Dallas Division, Civil Action No. 3-9CV0627-D. The Company sued Palomar
and CTI ("defendants") regarding a Master Services Agreement ("Agreement")
dated June 3, 1996. The Agreement concerned the delivery of a product called
the Epilaser, a medical laser for use in hair removal. The Company seeks a
declaration from the court that (i) the Agreement required FDA approval for
hair removal as a condition to performance and/or formation; and (ii) the
Agreement was terminated and of no further force or effect. The Company further
seeks a declaration that the Company was not liable to Palomar for any damages
allegedly sustained or for expenses incurred pursuant to the Agreement. The
Company seeks recovery of its attorneys' fees. Palomar and CTI filed a
counterclaim against the Company and a third party complaint against Thermolase
Corporation. In the counterclaim, the defendants sued the Company for breach of
contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and for an
equitable accounting. Defendants seek a judgment against the Company for an
unspecified amount of compensatory damages, punitive damages, costs including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and prejudgment interest. Defendants also seek an
accounting from the Company for all gross revenues allegedly received or earned
for procedures using the device covered by the Agreement. Further, defendants
sued Thermolase Corporation for tortious interference with advantageous
contractual relationships arising from the Company's agreement with Thermolase
Corporation for the supply of cosmetic lasers.

    The Company believes it has reached an agreement in principle with regard
to the settlement of this litigation, on terms believed by management to be
favorable to the Company. Finalization of this agreement is subject to the
execution of the appropriate documents by all parties involved and there can be
no assurance that all parties will join in the execution of this agreement.
