                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


ITEM 1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

              1.      Preparation of Financial Statements
                      -----------------------------------

              The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for
              Cancer Treatment Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
              "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
              of SEC Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all information
              and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
              position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements
              should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
              notes thereto included in the Company's latest SEC Form 10- KSB
              for the year ended May 31, 1997. In the opinion of management, the
              unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
              adjustments which are of a normal, recurring nature for a fair
              statement of the results of operations for such interim periods
              presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended
              February 28, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results
              which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The May 31,
              1997, consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited
              financial statements but does not include all disclosures required
              by generally accepted accounting principles.

              2.      Restructuring of Certain Agreements
                      -----------------------------------

              During the second quarter, the Company restructured certain
              Management, Consulting and Billing and Collection agreements
              related to two centers it sold in fiscal 1995 and an interest in
              one center it sold in fiscal 1996. As a result of the
              restructuring, the Company will receive $172,800 annually in
              consulting fees through September 30, 2006. In addition, certain
              agreements related to the sale of the Company's interest in a
              radiation center in Yonkers, New York ("Yonkers Center") were also
              restructured. As a result, during the second quarter, the Company
              received $300,000 as reimbursement for expenses incurred in the
              development of the Yonkers Center. The Company also renegotiated
              the payment terms of the non-competition and consulting
              agreements, whereby the payments are no longer contingent upon the
              percentage of fees collected by the Yonkers Center. As a result,
              the Company will receive $250,000 annually in fees over the next
              three years and $100,000 annually in fees over the subsequent two
              years.

              Also during the second quarter, the Company sold an option to a
              third party (the "Buyer") for $550,000. The option allows the
              Buyer to acquire the Company's 50% interest in Ocean Radiation
              Oncology Center, Inc. ("Ocean") for $3,500,000 or eight times
              one-half of the prior year's net earnings, whichever is greater.
              The option expires on May 31, 1999 and is evidenced by a
              promissory note which bears interest at 13% and is payable in
              monthly installments over three years.

              3.      Discontinued Operations
                      -----------------------

              In February 1998, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a plan
              to dispose of its pharmacy and private home health subsidiaries.
              Accordingly, the operating results of these subsidiaries for all
              periods presented are reflected as discontinued operations in the
              Company's statement of operations. In addition, the Company has
              recorded a loss on disposal of pharmacy and private home health
              subsidiaries of approximately $364,000 which includes a writedown
              of unamortized goodwill of $264,000 and a provision for operating
              losses to be incurred during the phase-out period of $197,000.

              On March 31, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
              these subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
              will sell the stock in these subsidiaries in exchange for $100,000
              in cash. The Company will retain the cash and accounts receivable
              of these subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that the
              transaction will close by April 30, 1998.

              Revenues from the discontinued operations were $661,000 and
              $527,000 for the nine month period ended February 28, 1998 and
              1997, respectively.

              The components of net assets of discontinued operations included
              in the consolidated balance sheets at February 28, 1998 and May
              31, 1997 are as follows:

              4.      Contingencies
                      -------------

              In conjunction with the current regulatory scrutiny of the home
              health industry and, in particular the industry in South Florida,
              the Company was randomly selected for an on-site review of its
              Medicare policies, procedures and medical records related to its
              Medicare certified home health agency in District 10, Broward
              County, Florida. The review is being conducted by representatives
              of the Health Care Finance Administration, the Office of Audit of
              the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Health
              and Human Services and the Florida Agency for Health Care
              Administration. The results of this review have not been
              concluded. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of this
              review will result in an assessment for amounts overpaid by the
              Medicare system which could have a material adverse impact upon
              the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Any
              assessment is expected to be appealed by the Company.

              On June 1, 1998, the Company's home health operations will be
              subject to new reimbursement rates under a proposed "interim
              payment system." Although the Company believes this new system
              will decrease its Medicare reimbursement, it is not known at this
              time by what amount.

              As a general partner, the Company is jointly and severally liable
              for liabilities concerning the actions of Ocean Radiation Oncology
              Center, Inc. ("Ocean"), Palm Beach Radiotherapy Associates, Ltd.
              ("Palm Beach") and Logan Oncology Care Associates, Ltd. ("Logan")
              and has guaranteed certain liabilities of these partnerships
              amounting to $2,609,000 at February 28, 1998. Accordingly, the
              Company could be held responsible for any and all liabilities
              arising from the actions of such partnerships.

              The Company is involved in several legal proceedings arising from
              a dispute between the Company, as managing general partner of the
              Palm Beach Partnership, and the other general partner of the Palm
              Beach Partnership. The dispute relates to the decision of the
              other general partner to conduct its radiation therapy business
              through its own affiliates rather than through the Palm Beach
              Partnership. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate
              liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect
              the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
              Company.

              5.      Impairment of Assets
                      --------------------

              The Company had recorded costs in excess of the estimated fair
              value of net identifiable assets of acquired business ("goodwill")
              and other intangible assets which consist of licenses and amounts
              attributable to certain consulting agreements obtained in
              connection with the sale of two centers. In addition, the Company
              has recorded property and equipment including an office
              condominium at cost which is being depreciated over its useful
              life.

              At each balance sheet date or whenever events or changes in
              circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
              not be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows expected
              to result from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition,
              the Company reviews certain long-lived assets, such as property
              and equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets
              (including goodwill) for impairment. As a result of the Company
              entering into an agreement in principle for the sale of
              substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Company

                                        6

<PAGE>
              (see Note 8), the Company recorded a charge to operations of
              $739,000, included in depreciation and amortization expense in the
              statement of operations for the nine month period ending February
              28, 1998, representing the estimated impairment of property and
              equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets described
              above.

              6.      Earnings Per Share
                      ------------------

              The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
              Share" which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted
              earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based
              on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
              the year. Diluted earnings per share is based on the sum of the
              weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus common
              stock equivalents arising out of stock options and warrants. The
              Company's outstanding options were not assumed exercised for the
              periods ended February 28, 1997 and 1996 because they were
              antidilutive for such periods. The impact of the adoption of SFAS
              No. 128 was not significant to the Company's financial statements.

              7.      Reclassifications
                      -----------------

              Certain amounts have been reclassified in the financial statements
              for the nine-month period ended February 28, 1997, to conform to
              the presentation in the financial statements for the nine-month
              period ended February 28, 1998.

              8.      Subsequent Event
                      ----------------

              On April 14, 1998, the Company announced that it agreed in
              principle to sell substantially all of the assets of the Company
              for $3 million in cash and the assumption of substantially all of
              the liabilities of the Company. The agreement is subject to
              certain conditions, including the approval of the transaction by
              the Company's shareholders. The Company anticipates that, if
              approved, the transaction will close prior to June 30, 1998.

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

           1.       Results Of Operations
                    ---------------------

           Comparison of the Nine Months Ended February 28, 1998, to the Nine
           ------------------------------------------------------------------
           Months Ended February 28, 1997 
           ------------------------------

           Revenues for the nine-month period ended February 28, 1998, decreased
           $1,453,000 or 11% over the nine-month period ended February 28, 1997,
           from $12,774,000 in 1997 to $11,321,000 in 1998. This decrease was
           principally attributable to the items discussed below.

           Patient service revenues, as reported, are derived from the home
           health operations of Med Tech Services of South Florida, Inc. and Med
           Tech Services of Palm Beach, Inc. ("Med Tech"). The operations of
           Leader Health Care Center, Inc. ("Leader") and Southern Cross Home
           Health, Inc. ("Southern Cross") have been reflected as discontinued
           operations in the statement of operations as a result of the
           Company's decision to dispose of its pharmacy and private home health
           operations as discussed in Note 3. Approximately 98% net patient
           service revenues for 1998 and 1997, were derived from Med Tech for
           services provided to home healthcare patients who are Medicare
           beneficiaries. Med Tech participates in the Medicare program under
           which services rendered to Medicare program beneficiaries are
           reimbursed based on cost-reimbursement principles. Such revenues
           decreased $1,503,000 from $11,490,000 in 1997 to $9,987,000 in 1998
           primarily due to a decrease in visits.

           During the quarter, the Company recorded an adjustment of $850,000
           which reduced revenues as a result of a change in the estimated costs
           which would not be reimbursed by Medicare to Med Tech. The Company
           does not believe that any additional adjustments of this nature will
           be required prior to the end of the Company's fiscal year.

           Other revenues, which consist principally of billing, collection,
           management and consulting revenues and interest income, increased
           $34,000 from $1,069,000 in 1997 to $1,103,000 in 1998 as a result of
           the restructuring of certain management, consulting, and billing and
           collection agreements as discussed in Note 2.

           The Company receives payment for its services from various sources.
           The following summarizes the Company's revenues by payor sources:

</TABLE>

           Changes in the current mix of payors, specifically those which would
           result in a decrease in the percentage of revenues from Medicare or
           third-party payors, may adversely effect the Company's future results
           of operations.

           Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended February 28, 1998,
           increased $749,000 or 5.9% over the nine-month period ended February
           28, 1997, from $12,726,000 in 1997 to $13,475,000 in 1998. This
           increase was primarily attributable to the following:

           Direct cost of patient services includes primarily payroll costs and
           contracted medical services. The majority of these costs relate to
           the Company's home health operations. The total number of visits
           performed by the Company decreased from 129,395 for the nine-month
           period ended February 28,

                                        8

<PAGE>
           1997 to 105,106 for the nine-month period ended February 28, 1998,
           and costs decreased by $1,092,000 from $6,399,000 in 1997 to
           $5,307,000 in 1998. On a per visit basis, these costs increased
           slightly from 49.46 per visit in 1997 to 50.49 in 1998. The Company
           believes the average direct cost per visit will decrease if the
           Company increases the number of patients it services. During the
           third quarter, the Company took steps to reduce its costs as a result
           of the slower than anticipated growth in the business.

           General and administrative expenses, which include the general and
           administrative expenses of all of the Company's subsidiaries,
           increased $1,091,000 or 18.9% from $5,777,000 in 1997 to $6,868,000
           in 1998. The majority of these costs are attributable to the
           Company's home health operation. On a per visit basis, these costs
           increased from $44.65 per visit in 1997 to $59.74 in 1998. During the
           latter part of fiscal 1997 and continuing through the second quarter
           the Company, in anticipation of future growth which has not yet
           occurred, significantly increased its base of administrative clinical
           employees, to a level to support significantly more visits than the
           Company performed during the current period. The Company believes the
           average cost per visit for general and administrative expenses will
           decrease if the Company increases the number of patients it services.
           During the third quarter, the Company took steps to reduce its costs
           as a result of the slower than anticipated growth in the business.
           Also included in general and administrative expenses is a $200,000
           provision for uncollectible advances to unconsolidated partnerships.

           Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $317,000 in
           1997 to $1,071,000 in 1998 as a result of the Company recording a
           charge for the estimated impairment of property and equipment as
           discussed in Note 5.

           The equity in losses of partnerships represents the losses incurred
           at two of the Company's 50% owned radiation centers. In August of
           1997, the Ocean facility in Lakewood, New Jersey began its
           operations. For the nine months ended February 28, 1998, the
           Company's share of the losses for this partnership were approximately
           $270,000 which included approximately $102,000 in start-up costs
           amortized over a one-year period and which will be fully amortized by
           May 31, 1998. The Company's equity in the loss of the Palm Beach
           Partnership was approximately $134,000 for the nine months ended
           February 28, 1998. The loss is the result of lower patient volume and
           increased legal fees due to litigation involving the Company and the
           other partner.

           2.       Liquidity and Capital Resources
                    -------------------------------

           As of February 28, 1998, the Company had working capital of
$2,738,000, including cash of $454,000, as compared with working capital of
$4,519,000 at May 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily attributable to a
decrease in cash of $871,000 primarily related to the cash investment required
by the Lakewood and Palm Beach partnerships and the unreimbursed Medicare costs,
and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $559,000 related to
the timing differences of payroll periods, increases in reserves for worker's
compensation costs and the estimated losses during the phase-out period for the
discontinued operations.

           During the nine months ended February 28, 1998, cash decreased
$871,000. Cash used in operating activities amounted to $729,000 in 1998
compared to $1,625,000 in 1997. The use of cash in operating activities was
primarily attributable to the net loss, including equity in losses of
partnerships of $415,000, as discussed above, and an increase in accounts
receivable of $148,000 offset by increases in accounts payable, accrued payroll
and related benefits of $559,000 as discussed above. The Company's current ratio
(current assets over current liabilities) was 2.72 as of February 28, 1998 and
5.32 as of May 31,1997.

           Cash provided by investing activities was $70,000 in 1998, compared
to $14,000 in 1997 and was primarily the result of collections under notes
receivable of $540,000 offset by net investments in and advances to partnerships
of $424,000. The increase in the investment in and advances to partnerships is
primarily the result of expenses incurred in the start up of two radiation
centers (Ocean and Logan) and cash advances to the Palm Beach Partnership, as
discussed above.

           Cash used in financing activities was $212,000 in 1997, and was the
result of payments against the Company's revolving credit agreements offset by
borrowings.

                    ----------------------------------------------

           This Form 10-QSB, specifically the Management's Discussion and
Analysis, contains "Forward- looking Statements" within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
provides a safe harbor for "Forward-looking Statements." In order to comply with
the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could
cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's
"Forward-looking Statements." Among other things, the following factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to,
general economic conditions; competitive factors; changes in federal or state
legislation governing the Company's operations, including the Medicare and
Medicaid reimbursement climate; and an adverse determination in connection with
the review being conducted concerning the Company's home health operations in
Broward County.
