                                   (unaudited)

Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for annual
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
that may be  expected  for the year  ended  December  31,  2000.  These  interim
financial  statements  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1999 amounts to conform to the
current period presentation.


Note 2 - BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of  Imatron  Inc.  ("Imatron")  and  all  its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the
"Company"), after elimination of all intercompany transactions and accounts.

On July 13,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  a formal  plan to sell its  HeartScan
subsidiary  in order for the Company to focus more  comprehensively  on the core
business of manufacturing  and servicing  quality EBT scanners.  For all periods
presented, the financial statements reflect the Company's HeartScan segment as a
discontinued operation.

On January 6, 1999,  Imatron  acquired a 100%  interest  in Caral  Manufacturing
("Caral")  in  an  acquisition  accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of
accounting.  Beginning  January 6, 1999,  the  financial  position and operating
results of Caral were consolidated with those of the Company.


Note 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No.
133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138,  establishes  accounting and reporting
standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to
those instruments, as well as other hedging activities. Because the Company does
not currently  hold any  derivative  instruments  and does not engage in hedging
activities,  the Company  expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended,
will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,  results
of operations, or cash flows. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 133
in fiscal 2001.

In December  1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin  No.  101  (SAB  101),  Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial
Statements, as amended by SAB 101A , which provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation,  and disclosure of revenue in financial  statements filed with the
SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic  criteria that must be met to recognize  revenue
and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue  recognition  policies.
In June 2000,  the SEC issued SAB 101B which  deferred the effective date of SAB
101 until the last quarter of fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1999.
The  Company  is  currently  reviewing  the  impact of SAB 101 on its  financial
position and results of operations.

In March 2000,  the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 44,  Accounting for Certain
Transactions involving Stock Compensation,  an interpretation of APB Opinion No.
25. This  Interpretation  clarifies  the  application  of Opinion 25 for certain
issues:  (a) the definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (b)
the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan,

(c) the  accounting  consequence  of  various  modifications  to the  terms of a
previously  fixed stock option or award,  and (d) the accounting for an exchange
of stock compensation awards in a business combination.  Effective July 1, 2000,
the Company adopted  Interpretation No. 44. The adoption of this  interpretation
did not  have  any  material  effect  on the  Company's  consolidated  financial
position or results of operations.

Note 5 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic  earnings per share is computed  based on the weighted  average  number of
common shares  outstanding,  and diluted earnings per share is computed based on
the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding  and, when dilutive,
potential  common  shares from  exercises  of options  and  warrants to purchase
common stock, using the treasury stock method.

Stock  options  and  warrants  have not  been  included  in the  loss per  share
computations in 1999 as their effect would have been  antidilutive.  Options and
warrants  with the  exercise  price lower than the average  market  price of the
common  stock  during the period have been  included in the  calculation  of the
diluted  earnings  per share for the three and nine months ended  September  30,
2000.  The  computation  of  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  for both
continuing and discontinued  operations for the periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, are as follows:

Note 6 -SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

The  Company  operates  in three  industry  segments.  Imatron  operates  in one
industry  segment in which it  designs,  manufactures,  services  and  markets a
computed  tomography  scanner;  HeartScan  operates  centers  that  perform  the
coronary artery scan procedures;  and Caral engages in the business of machining
and  fabrication  of metal and  plastic  components.  The  Company is  currently
selling its interests in HeartScan (see Note 7).

The accounting  policies of the segments are the same as those  described in the
summary  of   significant   accounting   policies   included  in  the  Company's
consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31,  1999.  The  Company  evaluates  performance  based on  profit  or loss from
operations before income taxes not including non-recurring gains and losses.

The Company  accounts for  intersegment  sales and  transfers as if the sales or
transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market price.

Note 7 - DISCONTINUED OPERATION -- SALE OF HEARTSCAN SUBSIDIARY

On July 13, 1998 (the  measurement  date),  the Company adopted a formal plan to

business  of  manufacturing,  marketing/selling,  and  servicing  the  Company's
proprietary EBT scanners.  Accordingly,  the operating  results of the HeartScan
operations are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in

</TABLE>

At the  measurement  date,  the Company  estimated that although a gain would be
realized upon the ultimate sale,  HeartScan  would  continue to incur  operating
losses  through the disposal  date. In the fourth  quarter of 1998,  the Company
changed its strategy from selling HeartScan to a single buyer to that of selling
the  individual  centers to buyers  located in the cities where the centers were
located.

On February 10, 1999, the Company sold its HeartScan - San Francisco  center and
related C-150 scanner and other  equipment.  Proceeds from sale were  $1,500,000
resulting in a net gain of approximately $1,396,000.

On June 17, 1999, the Company sold its HeartScan - Pittsburgh center and related
C-150  scanner  and other  equipment  for  $650,000  resulting  in a net loss of
approximately $237,000.

On July 8, 1999, the Company sold the C-150 scanner formerly used by HeartScan -
Seattle for $625,000. The sale resulted in a net loss of approximately $617,000.

On November 19, 1999, the Company sold its HeartScan - Houston and Washington DC
centers and the related C-150 scanners and other equipment for  $2,200,000.  The
sale resulted in a net gain of approximately $507,000.

The Company expects that the discontinued operations will continue to operate at
a loss through the disposal date of its final center in Cascais, Portugal. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company  accrued its estimate of the  additional  losses
expected for the period from  September  30, 2000 through the expected  disposal
date.  Upon final  disposal,  the Company  anticipates  selling the center for a
price  greater  than its net book value.  The fiscal year 2000 losses  represent
scanner depreciation and interest expense on the scanner lease obligation and do
not represent other operating expenses.

Note 8 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

In 2000,  the  Company  raised  $2,881,000  from  exercises  of  stock  options,
warrants,  and sale of its common stock, at an average price of $2.32 per share.
The Company  issued a total of 1,242,350  shares of its common stock in relation
to these transactions.

In addition,  the Company issued  warrants and options to purchase shares of the
Company's  common  stock to  certain  consultants  at $3.00 and $2.00 per share,
respectively.  The fair value of these securities estimated on the date of grant
using  the  Black  Scholes  option-pricing  model  was  approximately  $1.19 for
warrants and $1.74 for options, with the following  assumptions:  expected stock
price volatility of 80%; risk-free interest rate of 6.25%; and an contractual 10
year life.  The fair value of these  instruments  was recorded as an increase in
additional paid in capital  amounting to $234,000.  The warrants were charged to
deferred  compensation  and are being  amortized  quarterly as they vest, over a
one-year  period.  The fully vested options were recorded as prepaid expense and
are being amortized over two years, the term of the agreement.

During the second  quarter of 2000,  the President of the Company  exercised his
warrants to purchase  2,991,027  shares of the Company's  common stock (see Note
9). These warrants were issued under the 1999 private placement  offering of the
Company's common stock.

Note 9 - NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM OFFICERS

At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  held 2 notes  receivable  amounting  to
$3,000,000  and $113,000  (remaining  balance to original loan of $336,000) from
the Company's  President and the Chief Executive  Officer,  respectively.  These
notes arose from  transactions  in 2000 and 1998,  whereby the Company  provided
loans to purchase an aggregate of 3,591,027 shares of common stock. These shares
were  issued  upon the  exercise  of  warrants  and stock  options  to  purchase
2,991,027  and  600,000  shares of common  stock,  respectively.  The loans have
stated market interest rates and are full recourse. The receivables are shown on
the balance sheet as a reduction in equity.

Note 10 - BONUS INCENTIVE PLAN

On June 12, 2000, the Company's shareholders approved the increase in the number
of shares to be issued in any single year pursuant to the Stock Bonus  Incentive
Plan, from 400,000 common shares to 650,000 common shares.

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


The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto
contained elsewhere with this document. Operating results for the three and nine
month periods ended  September  30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results that may be expected for any future  periods,  including the full fiscal
year.  Reference  should  also  be  made to the  Annual  Consolidated  Financial
Statements, Notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations  contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

This Form 10-Q contains  forward-looking  statements  which are subject to risks
and  uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ  significantly from
the results projected in the  forward-looking  statements as a result of certain
risk  factors  set  forth in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended  December  31,  1999.  The  Company  expressly  disclaims  any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Results of Continuing Operations:

                Three months ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999

Overall  revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 of  $17,805,000
increased  $6,705,000  or 60% compared to revenues of  $11,100,000  for the same
period in 1999.  Net product  revenues  increased  to  $15,549,000  in 2000 from
$9,363,000  in 1999 due to shipment of 9 scanners in 2000 compared to 6 in 1999.
Service revenues  increased in 2000 to $2,012,000 from $1,590,000 in 1999 due to
an increase in service  contracts  slightly offset by a decrease in spares parts
shipment.  Other  product  sales  increased to $244,000 in 2000 from $147,000 in
1999 due to an increase  in sales to customers  of our machining and fabrication
business.

Total cost of revenues as a percent of revenues for the three months of 2000 was
59% as  compared  with 72% in 1999.  Product  cost of  revenues  as a percent of
product  revenues  decreased  to 57% in 2000 from 67% in 1999.  The high cost of
product sales in 1999 was due to lower production of new scanners,  resulting in
a higher portion of the fixed overhead of manufacturing  facility being expensed
to each scanner  manufactured.  Service cost of revenues as a percent of service
decreased  to 76% in 2000 as compared to 100% in 1999 due to  increased  service
contract revenues and decreased warranty costs.

Operating expenses for the three months of 2000 increased 42% to $5,637,000,  or
32% of revenues,  compared to $3,973,000,  or 36% of revenues in 1999.  Research
and development expenses of $2,455,000 in 2000 increased from $1,713,000 in 1999
due to large  purchase of  materials  for new product  development  programs and
increased  compensation  paid to employees to remain  competetive with the local
economy.  Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased to  $1,865,000  in 2000 from
$1,664,000 in 1999 primarily due to increases in headcount and sales commissions
resulting from increased  scanner sales.  Administrative  expenses  increased to
$1,281,000  in 2000 from  $561,000 in 1999 due primarily to increases in the bad
debt provision relating to certain distributors and investor relations expenses.
Goodwill  amortization  amounting  to  $36,000  and  $35,000  in 2000 and  1999,
respectively,  represent  the  amortized  portion  of  goodwill  related  to the
acquisition of Caral.

Other income  decreased to $81,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
from $112,000 in the comparable period of 1999. In 1999, other income was higher
due to $59,000  interest income earned from cash advances to Positron.  Interest
expense  represents  interest  incurred on capital lease  obligations on certain
office equipment.

                Nine months ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999

Overall  revenues for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 of  $44,670,000
increased  $20,060,000 or 82% compared to revenues of  $24,610,000  for the same
period in 1999.  Net product  revenues  increased  to  $38,711,000  in 2000 from
$19,105,000  in 1999 due to 24 scanners  shipped in 2000 compared to 12 in 1999.
Service revenues  increased 7% to $5,330,000 in 2000 from $4,970,000 in 1999 due
to an increase in scanners under service  contract offset by a decrease in spare
parts shipped.  Other product sales represent  revenues from Caral's  machining
and fabrication services. Other product sales increased to $629,000 in 2000 from
$535,000 in 1999 due to an increase in sales to a greater number of customers.

Total cost of  revenues  as a percent of  revenues  for the first nine months of
2000 was lower at 58% as compared with 76% in 1999.  Product cost of revenues as
a percent of product  revenues  decreased to 56% in 2000 from 73% in 1999 due to
shipment of 24 scanners  with higher gross  margins  compared to 12 shipments in
1999.  The  high  cost of  product  sales  in 1999  was due to the  decrease  in
production  of new  scanners,  resulting in a  significant  portion of the fixed
overhead  of the  manufacturing  facility  being  expensed  to cost of  revenue.
Service  cost of revenues as a percent of service  revenue  decreased  to 77% in
2000 from 88% in 1999 due to decreased  warranty  costs.  Other  product cost of
revenues as a percent of other  product  revenues  decreased to 93% in 2000 from
103% in 1999 due to increased sales to external customers.

Operating expenses for the nine months of 2000 increased 38% to $15,746,000,  or
35% of revenues,  compared to $11,379,000,  or 46% of revenues in 1999. Research
and development expenses of $6,279,000 in 2000 increased from $5,180,000 in 1999
due to an  increase  in  materials  for new  product  development  programs  and
increased  compensation  expenses.  Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased to
$5,802,000  in 2000  from  $3,918,000  in 1999  primarily  due to  increases  in
headcount  and  sales  commissions   resulting  from  increased  scanner  sales.
Administrative  expenses increased to $3,558,000 in 2000 from $1,895,000 in 1999
due primarily to increases in headcount,  bad debt provision relating to certain
distributors, and investor relation expenses. Goodwill amortization amounting to
$107,000 and $104,000 in 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  represent  the amortized
portion of goodwill related to the acquisition of Caral.  Restructuring  charges
of $282,000  relates to severance and other  benefits paid by the Company during
the first quarter of 1999 as part of its reorganization plan.

Other  income  increased  to  $374,000  for the first  nine  months of 2000 from
$139,000 in the  comparable  period of 1999.  The increase was  attributable  to
higher cash balances and investments in  interest-bearing  securities.  Interest
expense  represents  interest  incurred on capital lease  obligations on certain
office equipment.

Discontinued operation:

On July 13, 1998,  the Company  announced  its intention to divest its HeartScan
subsidiary.  Accordingly,  the Company  restated  its  financial  statements  to
reflect the  classification  of HeartScan as a  discontinued  operation  for all
periods presented.

At the  measurement  date,  the Company  estimated that although a gain would be
realized upon the ultimate sale,  HeartScan  would  continue to incur  operating
losses  through the disposal  date. In the fourth  quarter of 1998,  the Company
changed its strategy from selling HeartScan to a single buyer to that of selling
the  individual  centers to buyers  located in the cities where the centers were
located. As such, the Company reassessed its estimate of the gain on disposal to
reflect the Company's change in strategy.

In 1999, the Company sold all its domestic centers for a net gain of $1,049,000.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had one remaining center in Cascais, Portugal.
The Company expects that the discontinued operations will continue to operate at
a loss through the disposal of its final center.  However,  management's current
best estimate indicates that the disposal of the Cascais center will result in a
gain.  As of  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  accrued  its  estimate of the
additional  losses  expected for the period from  September 30, 2000 through the
expected disposal date. Upon final disposal, the Company anticipates selling the
center for a price greater than its net book value.  The  additional  losses are
primarily from scanner  depreciation  and interest  expense on the scanner lease
obligation and do not represent other operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At September 30, 2000,  working  capital  increased to  $28,273,000  compared to
December 31, 1999 working capital of $22,217,000. The current ratio increased to
3.0:1 at September 30, 2000 from 2.7:1 December 31, 1999.

The  Company's  total assets  increased  to  $47,711,000  at September  30, 2000
compared  to  December  31,  1999  total  assets  of  $40,643,000.   Cash,  cash
equivalents,  and short-term  investments  decreased to $10,838,000 in 2000 from
$11,197,000 in 1999 due primarily to increased  inventory  purchases,  partially
offset by proceeds realized from issuance of securities. Cash used by continuing
operations  increased to  $2,906,000  for nine months ended  September  30, 2000
compared to cash  provided by continuing  operations of $1,541,000  for the same
period  in 1999  was  mainly  due to  increases  in  receivables  and  inventory
purchases,  reduction  in  accounts  payable,  partially  offset by  increase in
accrued  liabilities. The increase in inventory was due to increased  production
levels to meet anticipated shipments in the current fiscal year. The increase in
accounts  receivable was primarily due to an increase in revenues resulting from
shipment of 24 scanners in 2000  compared to 12 scanners  during the same period
in 1999. The decrease in accounts payable resulted from accelerated  payments to
vendors to maintain  balances on a more current basis.  In 1999,  cash generated
from receivables and decreased inventory purchases were offset by a reduction in
accounts  payable.  The decrease in accounts  receivables  was  primarily due to
payment of outstanding  invoices.  Accounts  payable  decreased as a result of a
decrease in inventory purchases.

Cash provided by  discontinued  operations  decreased to $1,028,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,467,000 during the same period in
1999 due to the net proceeds  realized from the sale of the HeartScan centers in
1999.  Net loss from  discontinued  operations  for the nine month  period ended
September 30, 2000  decreased to $364,000 as compared to $1,134,000 for the same
period in 1999.  The  decrease in net loss was due to the  decrease in operating
losses in 2000  offset by net gain  realized  on the sale of the assets in 1999.
The gain on sale of assets in 1999 relates to the net gain  recognized  from the
sale of HeartScan-San Francisco offset by loss from sale of HeartScan-Pittsburgh
and  HeartScan-Seattle.  The decrease in operating losses was due to the closure
of all HeartScan domestic centers which were consistently operating at a loss.

The Company's investing  activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
included purchases of capital equipment and marketable  securities  amounting to
$1,369,000  and  $2,523,000,  respectively,  offset by  maturities of marketable
securities  in  the  amount  of  $4,061,000.   Capital   expenditures   included
approximately  $836,000 of test scanner for use in research and development.  In
1999, the primary uses of cash from investing activities were the acquisition of
Caral  amounting to $273,000  (net of cash  acquired) and purchases of equipment
and marketable securities amounting to $893,000 and 2,044,000, respectively.

Cash provided by financing  activities  was $2,888,000 for the nine month period
ended  September  30, 2000 as compared  with  $6,013,000  for the same period in
1999.  Significant  sources of cash in  financing  activities  were  proceeds of
$2,881,000  and  $7,473,000  from sale of common  stock  and  exercise  of stock
options and warrants  during the nine month period ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively. In 1999, cash used in financing activities included payments
of scanner lease obligations relating to the discontinued operations.

The Company's  liquidity is affected by many  factors,  some based on the normal
ongoing  operations of the business and others related to the  uncertainties  of
the industry and global economies. Although the cash requirements will fluctuate
based on timing and extent of these factors,  management believes that cash, and
cash equivalents  existing at September 30, 2000 and the estimated proceeds from
ongoing  sales of products  and  services in 2000 will  provide the Company with
sufficient  cash for  operating  activities  and  capital  requirements  through
December 31, 2000.

The Company  expects to devote  substantial  capital  resources  to research and
development,  to support a direct sales force and  marketing  operations  and to
continue to support its  manufacturing  capacity and facilities.  To satisfy the
Company's capital and operating requirements beyond 2000, profitable operations,
additional  public  or  private  financing  or the  incurrence  of  debt  may be
required.  If future  public or private  financing  is required by the  Company,
holders of the Company's  securities  may experience  dilution.  There can be no
assurance  that equity or debt  sources,  if required,  will be available or, if
available,  will be on terms favorable to the Company or its  shareholders.  The
Company  does not  believe  that  inflation  has had a  material  effect  on its
revenues or results of operations.
