         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 2000

A.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Medstone International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company).
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

         In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which
consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of its consolidated financial position at June 30, 2000 and consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Although the Company
believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000. Results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the full year.

         On April 20, 2000, the Company purchased common stock representing 46%
of the outstanding shares of Medicredit.com, Inc. The Company reflects this
purchase as an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary and reflects its
proportional percentage of operating income or loss in other (income) expense.
Operating results for Medicredit.com, Inc. for the three months ended June 30,
2000 were not material.

         The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B.       ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

         The components of other comprehensive loss are as follows:

D.       PER SHARE INFORMATION

         The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," and applied
this pronouncement to all periods presented. This statement requires the
presentation of both basic and diluted net income per share for financial
statement purposes. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential
shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
restated to conform with the SFAS No. 128 requirements and the accounting rules
set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 98 issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 3, 1998.

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 audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 29, 2000.

RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         Medstone manufactures, markets and maintains lithotripters, and
continues to evolve its Fee- for-Service Program to supply lithotripsy equipment
to providers on a per procedure basis. The Company also offers a line of urology
procedure tables and x-ray imaging products as additional product lines. This
allows opportunities for bundling the lithotripsy products and urological
procedure tables to potential customers. The Company also provides radiology
imaging suites in the United Kingdom through its Zenith Medical Systems Ltd.
Subsidiary. To date, the Company's consolidated revenues have come primarily
from Medstone's lithotripsy business.

         The Company currently offers lithotripsy procedures using 15 mobile and
14 transmobile systems along with two fixed sites in the United States on a per
procedure basis. With the ability to offer quality equipment at reasonable
prices, Medstone intends to continue the expansion of this manufacturer direct
business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Three Months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June
         30, 1999

         The Company recorded total revenue of $6.0 million in the second
quarter of 2000, an 8% decrease compared to the second quarter of 1999.
Equipment revenues decreased to $1.2 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2000
from $1.5 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year, or a 22%
decrease, as the Company shipped two lithotripsy systems in 2000 versus four
systems in 1999. Partially offsetting this decrease in lithotripsy equipment
revenue was the shipment of a radiology imaging suite in the Company's Zenith
Medical Systems Ltd. ("Zenith") subsidiary during the second quarter of 2000,
the first equipment system shipment since acquisition of Zenith in late 1999.
Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased from $4.8
million in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.7 million in the same
period of the prior year due to lower patient counts on the Company's
fee-for-service equipment and lower average per patient reimbursement partially
offset by higher revenues in the Company's partnership activities.

         Interest income increased by 4% in the second quarter of 2000 when
compared to the same period of the prior year due to higher investment yields
even though the average invested balance has decreased.


                                       11

<PAGE>   12

         Cost of sales on equipment sales increased to 72% of sales in the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 52% of sales in the same period of 1999.
This increase is due to a higher cost of sales of radiology equipment and
increased costs of production on lithotripsy equipment. Recurring revenue cost
of sales increased to 58% of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared
to 47% in the same quarter of the prior year due to the additional equipment in
service to provide fee-for-service lithotripsy in the mobile and transmobile
environments. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding
interest), increased to 60% in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 48% in the
second quarter of 1999.

         Research and development costs increased by 7%, or $26,000 in the
second quarter of 2000 when compared to the same quarter of 1999 as the Company
continued its development of the UroPro-2000 urology imaging table in 2000 while
1999 reflected the final development costs of the STS-T.

         Selling costs decreased to $496,000 in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $699,000 in the same period of the prior year, a change of $202,000
or 29% due to lower commission costs on lower equipment shipments, lower
tradeshow expenses and lower marketing payroll.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by $140,000 or 18% in the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year
due to lower legal and consulting expenses due to 1999's strategic planning
process.

         Gain on sale of investments was approximately $298,000 in the quarter
ending June 30, 2000 with no comparable activity in the same period of 1999 due
to the Company's sale of 53,500 shares of Cardiac Science, Inc. common stock,
which has a net book value of $0.

         Other expense decreased to $41,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from
$321,000 in the same period of 1999 due to 1999's $300,000 provision for
impairment of the investment in Digital Imaging Systems.

         Provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2000 decreased by
$64,000 as a result of lower taxable income in the current year when compared to
the same period of 1999.

         Minority interest in subsidiaries income increased by $57,000 or 37% in
the three months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period of the
prior year due to higher activity in the Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho
operations.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

         The Company recognized revenue of $12.1 million in the first six months
of 2000 or a 6% increase compared to $11.4 million in the corresponding period
of 1999. Equipment revenue increased by $906,000, or 57%, due to shipment of six
lithotripers and a radiographic imaging suite in the current period compared to
shipment of four lithotripters in the same period of 1999. Revenues from
procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased by $209,000, or 2%, due to
lower patient counts on the Company's fee-for-service program.


                                       12

<PAGE>   13

         Interest income remained level for the first six months of 2000 when
compared to the same period of the prior year as higher interest yields were
earned on a lower average invested balance.

         Cost of sales on equipment sales increased to 69% of revenue in the
first six months of 2000 compared to 53% of revenue in the first six months of
1999 due to sales of lower margin imaging products that have been introduced in
2000. Recurring revenue cost of sales increased to 58% in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to 49% in the same period of the prior year as additional
equipment and manpower has been placed into service with the introduction of the
STS-T. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest),
increased to 61% in the first half of 2000 compared to 50% in the first half of
1999.

         Research and development costs decreased by $41,000, or 6% in the first
six months of 2000 when compared to the same period of 1999 as the Company
funded its development of the UroPro- 2000 urology imaging table in 2000 while
1999 reflected the final development costs of the STS-T.

         Selling costs decreased by $19,000 in the first half of 2000 compared
to the same period of 1999 due to slightly lower advertising and brochure costs
due to 1999's introduction of the STS-T.

         General and administrative expenses decreased by 10%, or $149,000, in
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999 due
to lower legal expenses due to 1999's strategic planning process, partially
offset by consulting expenses for the Company's efforts in seeking approval from
the FDA for lithotripsy treatment of gallstones.

         Gain on sale of investments was approximately $1,081,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 with no comparable activity in the same period of
1999 due to the Company's sale of 193,667 shares of Cardiac Science, Inc. and
5,000 shares of Genstar Therapeutics Corp. (formerly Urogen Corp.) common stock,
both of which have a net book value of $0.

         Other expense decreased from $334,000 in the first half of 1999 to
$51,000 in the first half of 2000 due to 1999's $300,000 provision for
impairment of the investment in Digital Imaging Systems.

         Provision for income taxes increased to $1,020,000 in the first six
months of 2000 compared to $803,000 for the same period of 1999 as a result of
higher taxable income in the current year.

         Minority interest in subsidiaries' income increased by 40% in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period of the prior year
due to higher activity in the partnership operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash and short-term investments of
approximately $9.0 million. These funds were generated from continuing operating
activities and from the Company's initial public offering in June 1988.

         The Company's long-term capital expenditure requirements will depend on
numerous factors,

including the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the
time required to obtain regulatory approvals, the resources that the Company
devotes to the development of self- funded products, proprietary manufacturing
methods and advanced technologies, the costs of acquisitions and/or new revenue
opportunities, the ability of the Company to obtain additional licensing
arrangements and to manufacture products under those arrangements, and the
demand for its products if and when approved and possible acquisitions of
products, technologies and companies.

         The Company believes that its existing working capital and funds
anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the cash
needs for continuation of its present operations during 2000.
