     (Form 10-QSB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997)


                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.   Basis of Presentation:

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the
financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure
contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996, as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.


2.   Company Operations

     Since its inception the Company has been unable to sell its POSICAM(TM)
systems in sufficient quantities to be profitable.  Consequently, the Company
has sustained substantial losses.  Net losses for the year ended December 31,
1996 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997  were $6,375,000,
$969,000 and $2,723,000, respectively.  The Company had an accumulated deficit
of $47,230,000 at September 30, 1997.  Due to the sizeable selling prices of the
Company's systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed in service,
the Company's revenues have fluctuated significantly period to period.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling
approximately $3,000 and bank overdrafts totaling approximately $95,000 compared
to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $382,000 at December 31, 1996.
The bank overdrafts were cleared subsequent to the end of September 1997 without
any loss to the Company or payees.  During the first nine months of 1997, the
Company has been unable to meet certain of its obligations as they came due.  As
a result of the Company's liquidity problem, employees have deferred payment of
1997 salaries through September 30, 1997 totaling approximately $720,000.
Additionally, the Company is in arrears to most of its vendors and suppliers. As
of September 30, 1997, such amount owed totaled approximately $1,500,000.  The
Company has had discussions with a number of potential investors regarding the
sale of additional equity securities to such investors.  If the Company is
successful in raising additional capital, it is its intention to utilize a
portion of such funds to significantly reduce the level of its past due
obligations to its employees, vendors and suppliers.

     Although the Company has been actively pursuing the above financing
alternative, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to
successfully alleviate its current financial difficulties. Failure of the
Company to obtain an alternate source of capital is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

     Additionally, the Company currently has no shares of its Common Stock
available for issuance and all authorized shares have either been issued or
reserved for issuance in respect of outstanding options and warrants or
convertible securities.  The lack of such available shares significantly
restricts the Company's ability to raise capital through the issuance of
additional equity securities.  While the Company believes that its shareholders
will approve an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock at
its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, no assurance can be given that such increase
in authorized shares will be approved by the Company's shareholders.

3.   General Electric Transaction

     In July 1996, the Company and General Electric Company ("GE") entered into
an Acquisition Agreement (the "Agreement"), which initially expired on January
4, 1997, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase a portion of GE's
product line relating to the design, engineering, and manufacture of certain PET
equipment and related cyclotron systems (the "Business").  Under the terms of
the Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) purchase from GE all of the capital
stock of its wholly owned Swedish subsidiary, and (ii) purchase or license from
GE substantially all of its assets which are used principally in the conduct of
Business.  Additionally, the Company and GE entered into a Sales and Marketing
Agreement (the "Marketing Agreement") pursuant to which, subject to the
conditions and limitations set forth therein GE agrees to purchase on an
exclusive basis, and the Company agreed to supply to GE, certain PET equipment
and related cyclotron systems (collectively the "PET Products").  The initial
term of the Marketing Agreement was for five (5) years. Subject to the
conditions set forth therein, GE agreed that, during the initial term of the
Marketing Agreement, GE would not, directly or indirectly engage in the design,
engineering or manufacturing of PET Products.

     In exchange for the sale by GE of the assets described above and the
capital stock of its Swedish subsidiary, as well as the performance by GE of its
obligations under the Marketing Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to GE cash
of $25 million, subject to certain specified adjustments.  Additionally, the
Company agreed to issue to GE a number of shares of its Common Stock (the
"Acquisition Stock") which, would equal 10% of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after consummation of the acquisition and issuance of the
Acquisition Stock, assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of the
Company's convertible preferred stock and related common stock purchase warrants
and the issuance and exercise of the GE Option (described below).  The Company
also agreed to issue to GE an option (the "GE Option") to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock which, upon exercise and conversion into shares of the
Company's Common Stock, would equal 15% of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after consummation of the acquisition and the issuance of the
Acquisition Stock, assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of the
Company's convertible preferred stock and the issuance, exercise and conversion
of the GE Option.  The GE option was initially exercisable for three (3) years
at an exercise price of $4.25.  On January 4, 1997, GE and the Company agreed to
extend the expiration date of the Agreement until March 31, 1997.

     Closing of the GE Acquisition did not occur on March 31, 1997, nor did GE
agreed to extend the Agreement beyond March 31, 1997.  On April 10, 1997, GE
informed the Company that it was exercising its right to terminate the Agreement
and that it would pursue other options for its PET business.  GE remained open
to discussing a transaction on revised terms, if and only if, (i) a prompt
closing and payment of the full purchase price are assured, (ii) the transaction
makes business sense for both parties, and (iii) all necessary details can be
agreed upon by parties.  The Company and GE have no binding agreement to proceed
with these discussions, nor can any assurances be given that if they do proceed,
the parties will reach any workable agreement.


4.   Net Loss Per Share

     Net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996 and 1997 have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
     average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during these periods.

5.   Reclassifications:

     Certain amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current-
     period presentations.

6.   Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosures of contingent assets or liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

      (Form 10-QSB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997)


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


     Comparison of the Results of Operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1997.

          Total revenue decreased $1,270,000 or 41.9% from $3,028,000 for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $1,758,000 for the same period
     ended September 30, 1997.

          Revenue from system sales was $650,000 for the first nine months of
     1996 compared to $0 for the first nine months of 1996.  Fee per scan
     revenue increased $95,000 or 27.8% from $342,000 during the first nine
     months of 1996 to $437,000 for the nine months of 1997. The increase in fee
     per scan revenue was more than offset by a decrease in service and
     component sales revenue $715,000 or 35.1% during the same period. Included
     in the first nine months of 1996 was a major system upgrade that resulted
     in service and component revenue in that period of approximately $750,000.
     No corresponding upgrade occurred in the first nine month of 1997.

          Gross profit during the first nine months of 1996 was $1,002 compared
     to $1,141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The 1996 gross
     profit includes a provision for loss of $1,000,000 on the anticipated
     exchange of the initial production model HZL series scanner that is not
     performing up to specification.

          Total operating expense decreased approximately $1,883,000 or 34.8%
     from $5,413,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $3,530,000
     for the same period in 1997.  The decrease principally results from reduced
     personnel cost and lower administrative overhead.


     Comparison of the Results of Operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997.

          Total revenue decreased $676,000 or approximately 50.6% from
     $1,336,000 to $660,000 for the three months ended September 30,1996 and
     1997, respectively.  Included in the third quarter of 1996 is a major
     system upgrade that resulted in approximately $750,000 in service and
     component sales revenue in the 1996 quarter.  No corresponding upgrade was
     present in the 1997 quarter.  Fee per scan revenue increased approximately
     $77,000 or 50.6% from $152,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to
     $229,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997

          Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
     $400,000 a decrease of $638,000 or 61.5% from $1,038,000 for the quarter
     ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in gross profit is principally the
     result of the previously mentioned 1996 system upgrade the cost of which
     was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995.

          Total operating expense decreased 32.6% or $639,000 from $1,963,000
     for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to $1,324,000 for the three months
     ended September 30, 1997.  Significantly lower personnel cost and lower
     rent expense accounted for the decrease.


     Financial Condition

          Since its inception the Company has been unable to sell its
     POSICAM(TM) systems in sufficient quantities to be profitable.
     Consequently, the Company has sustained substantial losses. Net losses for
     the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 were $6,375,000, $969,000 and $2,723,000, respectively.
     The Company had an accumulated deficit of $47,230,000 at September 30,
     1997. Due to the sizeable selling prices of the Company's systems and the
     limited number of systems sold or placed in service, the Company's revenues
     have fluctuated significantly period to period.

          At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
     totaling approximately $3,000 and bank 


                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     overdrafts totaling approximately $95,000 compared to cash and cash
     equivalents of approximately $382,000 at December 31, 1996. The bank
     overdrafts were cleared subsequent to the end of September 1997 without any
     loss to the Company or payees. During the first nine months of 1997, the
     Company has been unable to meet certain of its obligations as they came
     due. As a result of the Company's liquidity problem, employees have
     deferred payment of 1997 salaries through September 30, 1997 totaling
     approximately $720,000. Additionally, the Company is in arrears to most of
     its vendors and suppliers. As of September 30, 1997, such amount owed
     totaled approximately $1,500,000. The Company has had discussions with a
     number of potential investors regarding the sale of additional equity
     securities to such investors. If the Company is successful in raising
     additional capital, it is its intention to utilize a portion of such funds
     to reduce the level of its past due obligations to its employees, vendors
     and suppliers. /(1)/

               Although the Company has been actively pursuing the above
     financing alternative, no assurances can be given that the Company will be
     able to successfully alleviate its current financial difficulties. Failure
     of the Company to obtain an alternate source of capital is likely to have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going
     concern. /(1)/

          Additionally, the Company currently has no shares of its Common Stock
     available for issuance and all authorized shares have either been issued or
     reserved for issuance in respect of outstanding options and warrants or
     convertible securities.  The lack of such available shares significantly
     restricts the Company's ability to raise capital through the issuance of
     additional equity securities.  While the Company believes that its
     shareholders will approve an increase in the number of authorized shares of
     Common Stock at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, no assurance can be
     given that any such increase in authorized shares will be approved by the
     Company's shareholders. /(1)/
 
          Due to the severe financial difficulties being experienced by the
     Company as of December 1, 1997 it has not made the necessary upgrade nor
     has it replaced the initial production model HZL series scanner mentioned
     above.  The Company and the customer have agreed to defer ultimate
     resolution of this matter until such time as the Company is financially
     stronger.  The Company anticipates that the ultimate future cash costs of
     replacing the scanner will be significantly less than the $1 million
     reserve.  A possible solution to the problem includes the completion and
     installation of a partially complete HZL scanner currently in inventory.
     The Company estimates that an additional $200,000 would have to be spent to
     complete and install this machine. /(1)/ Alternatively, the Company is
     discussing the possibility of refunding a portion of the purchase price to
     the customer.  The Company anticipates that such refund would not exceed
     $500,000. /(1)/

          The Company believes that the cash required to fund either of the two
     mentioned alternatives would be available from operations or from the below
     mentioned financings. /(1)/ If the Company is unable to complete the
     mentioned financings or if operations do not generate sufficient cash flow
     to finance the purchase of the inventory required to complete the HZL
     system in inventory it is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's ability to remain a going concern. /(1)/

          The Company has a verbal agreement with Uro-Tech, Ltd. extending the
     maturity date of its loan until April 30, 1998.  If the Company is unable
     to liquidate this debt by such extended maturity date the Company will
     request an additional extension of the maturity date. /(1)/ The Company
     believes that Uro-Tech, Ltd. will  extended the maturity date of its loan
     to the Company if requested, however, there can be no assurance that an
     additional extension will be granted to the Company. /(1)/

          On December 10, 1997, the Company received formal notice under its
     loan agreement with ProFutures Bridge Capital Fund, L.P., ("ProFutures") of
     the occurrence of an event of default.  The default is the failure of the
     Company to pay the unpaid principal amount and earned interest under the
     note on its original maturity date.  As of December 8, 1997 the Company
     owed ProFutures $957,601.30 consisting of unpaid principal of $957,601.30
     and accrued interest of $0.  Additionally, the Company is in violation of
     Section 6(f) of the loan agreement wherein it agreed to promptly discharge
     all of its uncontested debts and liabilities.

          It is the Company's intention to request a formal waiver of the events
     of default under the ProFutures loan agreement until such time that it is
     able to alleviate its current financial difficulties through one of the


                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     financing alternatives mentioned above. /(1)/ The Company believes that it
     will be successful in securing such waiver, however, there can be no
     assurance that an additional extension will be granted to the Company.
