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

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

NET REVENUES. Net revenues were $4,633,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $4,039,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
an increase of $594,000 or 14.7%. The increase was related to equipment/device
sales of $636,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The Company had
no sales related to equipment/devices during the three months ended September
30, 1999.

Aesthetic elective net revenue was $1,927,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $1,753,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1999, an increase of $174,000 or 9.9%. The increase in aesthetic elective
revenues is due to the utilization of the hair reduction lasers which generated
a net revenue of $211,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The
Company generated no revenues related to hair reduction for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. Aesthetic elective procedures were 12,489 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 11,030 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 1,459 or 13.2%.

Medical surgical net revenue was $2,060,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $2,280,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a
decrease of $219,000 or 9.6%. Medical surgical procedures were 7,377 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 7,762 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of 385 or 5.0%. The net revenue per case
for medical surgical decreased from $294 to $279, a decrease of $15 or 5.2%.
This is mainly due to a shift to lower revenue per case procedures.

SALARIES AND BENEFITS EXPENSE. Salaries and benefits expense was $1,919,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,855,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $64,000 or 3.5%. Salaries and
benefits expense as a percentage of net revenues was 41.4% for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to 45.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1999. This decrease is mainly due to the Company leveraging its existing
infrastructure to generate incremental revenues.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. Selling, general, and
administrative expense was $2,160,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2000 compared to $1,387,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an
increase of $773,000 or 55.7%. The Company incurred $136,000 in nonrecurring
charges related to the possible sale of the medical business during the three
months ended September 30, 2000. Without the nonrecurring charge, selling,
general, and administrative expense would have been $2,024,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,387,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $637,000 or 45.9%. The following items
were attributable to the increase in selling, general, and administrative
expense:

Cost related to equipment/device sales were $326,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to no costs related to equipment/device sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1999.

Vehicle expense was $263,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $171,000 for the three months ended



                                        8

<PAGE>   9



September 30, 1999, an increase of $92,000 or 53.8%. The primary reason for the
increase is due to an increase in fuel costs and vehicle maintenance.

Repair and maintenance expense related to medical equipment was $406,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $219,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $187,000 or 85.4%.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue
increased to 46.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 34.3% for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. Without the nonrecurring charge of
$136,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, selling, general, and
administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue would have been 43.7% for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 34.3% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is mainly due to the costs related to

1999, an increase of $117,000.

<PAGE>   10



the hair reduction lasers which generated a net revenue of $505,000 for the nine

benefits expense as a percentage of net revenue was 42.1% for the nine months

30, 1999. This decrease is mainly due to the Company leveraging its existing
infrastructure to generate incremental revenues.

administrative expense was $6,018,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 compared to $4,982,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an

would have been $5,753,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared
to $4,132,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of
$1,621,000 or 39.2%. The following items were attributable to the increase in

compared to $201,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase

nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $679,000 for the nine months

a percentage of net revenue would have been 39.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 33.4% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This increase is mainly due to costs related to equipment/device sales and

the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,801,000 for the nine

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company completed its evaluation of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance status
in 1999. The Company tested its information technology, such as software
regarding Y2K compliance and received certification of Y2K compliance from its
third party vendors related to the billing and accounting systems. The Company
conducted further tests on its accounting system during the fourth quarter of
1999. Based upon the Company's evaluation of the Y2K compliance of its
information technology, its polling of third party vendors, and its receipt of
certification of Y2K compliance from its third party vendors related to the
billing and accounting systems, the Company does not anticipate that there will
be a material Y2K problem and has not experienced any material Y2K problems to
date.

However, certain of the Company's medical equipment contains embedded technology
that could have Y2K-related problems. The Company has polled the manufacturers
and vendors of such equipment regarding Y2K compliance and, based on such
polling, all equipment known to the Company to be non-Y2K compliant has been
replaced or upgraded. The Company does not expect to conduct independent tests
of its medical equipment to assess Y2K compliance. Based upon the Company's
actions in preparation for Y2K, and responses received from its third-party
vendors, the Company does not anticipate that there will be a material Y2K
problem with respect to its equipment. Furthermore, because its equipment comes
from third party vendors, who are being requested to replace or upgrade all
non-compliant equipment, the Company does not expect that its Y2K-related
expenditures with respect to embedded technology will be material and has not
experienced any material Y2K problems to date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurances (a) that the
representations provided by third party vendors with respect to Y2K compliance
will be accurate, or (b) that the Company will have any recourse against such
vendors if the representations prove to be inaccurate. A Y2K- related failure of
the Company's medical equipment and/or information technology could have a
material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations.
Furthermore, there can be no assurances that Y2K-related failure caused by third
parties, such as utility providers, transportation companies or others, will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company. To date, the Company has not
experienced any Y2K-related failure caused by third parties.

Based on the Company's process of evaluating its Y2K compliance status, the
Company expended an estimated $50,000 related to addressing Y2K issues.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all Y2K issues will be addressed
which could result in additional costs for the Company. To date, the Company has
not experienced any material Y2K problems.
