                     SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     --------------------------------------

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 of Form 10-KSB for the
       year  ended  December  31,  1997.  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, 1997, as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.


2.     Company Operations

        Since its inception Positron Corporation (the "Company") has been unable
        to sell its POSICAMTM systems in sufficient quantities to be profitable.
        Consequently,  the Company has sustained  substantial losses. Net losses
        for the year ended  December  31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30,
        1998 were  $4,455,000  and  $240,000,  respectively.  The Company has an
        accumulated  deficit of $49,200,000 at June 30, 1998. Due to the sizable
        selling  prices  of the  Company's  systems  and the  limited  number of
        systems sold or placed in service each year, the Company's revenues have
        fluctuated significantly year to year.

        At June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  in the
        amount of $70,000 compared to $160,000 at December 31, 1997. During 1997
        and the first six months of 1998, the Company was unable to meet certain
        obligations  as they came due.  As a result of the  Company's  liquidity
        problem,  1997 salary  payments to certain  management  level  employees
        totaling approximately $600,000 were unpaid at June 30, 1998.

        Additionally,  the Company  currently  has no shares of its Common Stock
        available for issuance and all other 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.

                                       F-4

3.     Net Loss Per Share

       Net loss per  common  share for the three and six  months  ended June 30,
       1998 and 1997 have been  computed  by dividing  net loss by the  weighted
       average  number  of  shares  of Common  Stock  outstanding  during  these
       periods.


4.     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.


5.     Income Tax

        The  difference  between the Federal  statutory  income tax rate and the
        Company's  effective  income  tax  rate  is  primarily  attributable  to
        increases in valuation  allowances  for deferred tax assets  relating to
        net operating losses.


6.  Imatron Transaction

        In May  1998,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  (the  "Imatron
        Transaction")  with  Imatron,  Inc.  ("Imatron"),  whereby  Imatron will
        acquire a majority  ownership of the Company.  In  conjunction  with the
        execution of definitive agreements, Imatron began making working capital
        advances available to the Company up to $500,000 (subsequently increased
        to  $750,000)  in order to enable it to meet a  portion  of its  current
        obligations. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowed $468,000. The
        loan bears  interest at 1/2% over the prime  rate,  is due March 1, 2000
        (with  interest  being  payable  monthly),  and is secured by all of the
        Company's assets.  The loan agreement has been amended by oral agreement
        to increase the working capital advances  available to the Company under
        the agreement up to an additional $250,000.

        Under the  terms of the  agreement,  Imatron  will  acquire  a  majority
        ownership  of  the  outstanding   common  stock  of  the  Company  on  a
        fully-diluted  and  as-if-converted  basis,  excluding  out-of-the-money
        warrants  and  options  determined  at the time of issuance of shares to
        Imatron.  If such  shares  were  issued to Imatron on June 30,  1998 the
        Company would have been obligated to issue nine million shares of common
        stock.  The Company  will  receive a nominal cash amount from Imatron in
        payment for the shares. Under the planned arrangement,  the Company will
        remain an independent public company.

                                       F-5
<PAGE>
       Imatron, in addition to providing limited working capital financing,  has
       agreed to support  the  Company's  marketing  program  particularly  with
       regard to Imatron's  affiliate,  Imatron Japan, Inc. by agreeing to make,
       after the share issuance  closing date,  all reasonable  efforts to cause
       the placement of 10  POSICAM(TM)  systems over the next three years.  The
       Company  recently  shipped a  POSICAM(TM)  system to Imatron Japan as the
       first delivery  under a three-year  distribution  agreement  entered into
       last year.  Imatron  Japan,  an  affiliate  of  Imatron,  Inc. is a major
       distributor  for Imatron's  Ultrafast CT and for the equipment of certain
       other  high  technology  companies.  Imatron  has a 24  percent  minority
       interest in Imatron Japan.

       Imatron  has also  agreed  to help  facilitate  the  recapitalization  of
       Positron to support its re-entry into the medical imaging market by using
       its best  efforts  after the share  issuance  closing date to arrange for
       additional   third-party   equity  financing  for  the  Company  over  an
       eighteen-month period in an aggregate amount of not less than $8,000,000.
       There can be no assurances, however, that any such sales will actually be
       consummated  or that  Imatron  will be able to  successfully  assist  the
       Company in raising additional capital.

       Consummation  of the issuance of shares to Imatron is  conditioned  upon,
       among other  things (a) the  resignation  of each officer of the Company,
       (b) the  resignation  of at least three of the four current  directors of
       the  Company  and the  appointment  of  Imatron's  nominees  to fill such
       vacancies,  and (c) shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company's
       Articles of Incorporation  to increase its authorized  common stock to at
       least 100,000,000 shares. The Company anticipates that the share issuance
       to  Imatron  will  close  in the  third  quarter  of  this  year  if such
       shareholder approval is obtained.

       In connection with the above transactions,  the Company,  Imatron and two
       current  lenders,  Uro-Tech,  Ltd.  ("Uro-Tech")  and  ProFutures  Bridge
       Capital  Fund,  L.P.  ("ProFutures"),  entered  into  certain  agreements
       whereby (a) ProFutures waived all past defaults and extended the maturity
       of its  loan ( with a  current  balance  of  approximately  $706,000)  to
       December  5,  1998,  in return for a $50,000  payment,  the  issuance  of
       warrants to purchase  1,150,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at
       $0.25 per share ( in addition to the issuance of previously bargained for
       warrants to purchase an additional  100,000 shares of the Company's stock
       at $0.25 per share),  and minimum loan  repayments of $50,000 for each of
       the months of April, May, June and July, 1998,  $100,000 for the month of
       August and $50,000 each for the months of September, October and November
       1998 (b) Imatron agreed to subordinate its loan to ProFuture's  loan, (c)
       Uro-Tech  agreed  to  subordinate  its loan  (with a current  balance  of
       approximately  $767,000 plus accrued  interest  payable of  approximately
       $260,000 at June 30, 1998) to Imatron's  loan, and (d)  ProFutures's  and
       Imatron  agreed that all amounts above the first  $1,000,000 of any third
       party equity  financing  obtained by Imatron would be applied  equally to
       reduce the Company's debt to both ProFutures and Imatron.

                                       F-6
<PAGE>
       Consistent with the amendment to the Imatron  Agreement,  the Company and
       ProFutures  have amended their  agreements to provide  further waivers of
       any  past  defaults  and  have  further  extended  the  maturity  of  the
       ProFutures  Loan to  December  5, 1998 and  minimum  loan  repayments  of
       $50,000 for each of the months of September,  October and November  1998.
       Imatron  agreed to continue  to  subordinate  its loan to the  ProFutures
       Loan,  and Uro-Tech,  Ltd.  agreed to  subordinate  its loan to Imatron's
       loan.  Except as modified by the  amendments,  the  remaining  agreements
       remain the same.

       If  the  Imatron  Transaction  is  not  completed,   or  if  the  Imatron
       Transaction  is completed and Imatron is  unsuccessful  in its efforts to
       raise  capital for the  Company,  management  believes the Company may be
       unable to continue as a going concern and that the  Company's  assets may
       be seized by its secured creditors.

7.     Contingencies

       The Company  previously entered into agreements with Nizar A. Mullani and
       K. Lance Gould under which such individuals  agreed to reduce the royalty
       payments  due to them by the Company in  consideration  of payments to be
       made to them  under  consulting  agreements  and  promissory  notes.  The
       consulting agreements provide that if the Company defaults in its payment
       obligations  thereunder,  Mr.  Mullani and Dr. Gould would be entitled to
       receive a regrant of the  royalties  that they  previously  released.  On
       April 12, 1998,  the Company  received a demand  letter from Mr.  Mullani
       alleging default under his consulting agreement and demanding the regrant
       of an  additional  1% royalty  interest.  Although  the  Company  has not
       received  any such demand from Dr.  Gould,  the Company  believes  that a
       payment  default may be entitled  to the  regrant of an  additional  .05%
       royalty  interest.   The  Company   anticipates   initiating   settlement
       discussions with Mr. Mullani and Dr. Gould concerning the alleged payment
       defaults.   The  Company  is  unable  to  predict  the  outcome  of  such
       discussions at this time. If the parties fail to reach a settlement,  Mr.
       Mullani  will be entitled to receive an  aggregate 2% royal and Dr. Gould
       will be entitled to receive an aggregate  1.5%  royalty,  resulting in an
       increase  of the  Company's  royalty  obligations  from 3% to 4.5%.  Such
       increase in royalty  obligations  could have a material adverse effect on
       the Company's future financial performance.

                                       F-7

8.     Comprehensive Income

       Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial
       Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,
       which requires a company to display an amount representing  comprehensive
       income as part of the company's basic financial statements. Comprehensive
       income  includes  such  items as  unrealized  gains or losses on  certain
       investments,   securities  and  certain  foreign   currency   translation
       adjustments.  The  Company's  financial  statements  include  none of the
       additional  elements  that  affect  comprehensive  income.   Accordingly,
       comprehensive income and net income are identical.

Certain statements in the following MD&A are forward looking  statements.  Words
such as  "expects",  "anticipates",  "estimates"  and  similar  expressions  are
intended to identify forward looking statements.  Such statements are subject to
risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to differ  materially
from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties are set forth below and under
"Information Regarding and Factors Affecting Forward Looking Statements".

Comparison of the Results of  Operations  for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997.

       During the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  continued  to
experience deterioration in its financial condition;  however, the Company's net
loss decreased  $1,516,000 from  ($1,756,000)  for the six months ended June 30,
1997 to ($240,000) for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This decrease in net
loss is primarily  the result of  significant  staff  reductions  and efforts to
curtail costs.

       The Company  generated  no revenue from system sales during the first six
months of 1998 or 1997.  Fee per scan revenue  increased  $99,000 from  $208,000
during the first six months of 1997 to $307,000 for the first six months of 1998
due primarily to a greater number of scans being performed by Buffalo Cardiology
during the six months ended June 30, 1998. In addition,  there was a decrease in
service and component  sales  revenue of $109,000  during the same period due to
less service  work  performed  during the six months  ended June 30, 1998.  This
reduction  in service  work is directly  attributable  to staff  reductions  and
normal fluctuations in service.

       Gross profit during the first six months of 1998 was $849,000 compared to
$740,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase in gross profit
of  $109,000  is due  primarily  to  lower  service  costs  brought  on by staff
reductions during the six months ended June 30, 1998.

       Total operating  expense decreased  approximately  $1,278,000 or 58% from
$2,206,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $928,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.  The decrease  primarily  results  from  significant  staff
reductions and related  reductions in  administrative  overhead costs during the
six months ended June 30, 1998.

       Interest  expense  decreased  from $191,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 to $161,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 due primarily to the
reduction  in the  Company's  debt  level in the  first  six  months  of 1998 as
compared to the first six months of 1997.

Financial Condition

       Since its  inception  the  Company  has been  unable to sell  POSICAM(TM)
systems at quantities sufficient to be profitable. Consequently, the Company has
sustained  substantial  losses.  Net losses for the year ended December 31, 1997
and the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  were  ($4,455,000)  and  ($240,000),
respectively.  At June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had an  accumulated  deficit of
approximately  $49,200,000.  Due to the sizable prices of the Company's  systems
and the  limited  number of  systems  sold or placed in service  each year,  the
Company's revenues have fluctuated significantly year to year.

       At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in the amount
of $70,000  compared to $160,000 at December 31, 1997.  Throughout  much of 1997
and the first half of 1998,  the Company has been unable to meet  certain of its
obligations  as they came due. As a result of the Company's  liquidity  problem,
1997 salary  payments and other benefits to certain  management  level employees
totaling approximately $600,000 were unpaid at June 30, 1998.

       The Company's only current plan with regard to its liquidity  problems is
to attempt to complete the Imatron  transaction  discussed in Selected  Notes to
the Financial Statements. If the Imatron Transaction is not completed, or if the
Imatron  Transaction is completed and Imatron is  unsuccessful in its efforts to
raise capital for the Company,  management believes the Company may be unable to
continue as a going concern and that the  Company's  assets may be seized by its
secured creditors.

       The  Company  currently  has no  shares  of 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  additional  capital  through  the  sale of  equity
securities.  The Company believes that its shareholders will approve an increase
in the number of authorized  common shares at its Annual  Meeting;  however,  no
assurance  can be given  that  such  additional  shares  will be  authorized  in
adequate time to allow the Company to issue such equity securities.

Impact of the Year 2000

       The Year 2000  issue is the result of  computer  programs  being  written
using two digits  rather  than four to define the  applicable  year.  Any of the
Company's  computer  programs that have time sensitive  software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a system failure or miscalculation causing a disruption of business activities.

       Based  on  a  preliminary  assessment,   the  Company  believes  that  no
significant modifications to its existing computer software will be required and
that its existing  computer systems will function properly with respect to dates
in the year 2000 and thereafter.

       The Company also  believes that costs related to the Year 2000 issue will
not be significant.

         However,  due to the Company's current severe liquidity  problems,  the
Company has been unable to perform a complete assessment of Year 2000 issues and
has  developed no  contingency  plan with regard to unsolved  Year 2000 problems
that may arise.

       The Company is also currently performing a preliminary  assessment of its
relationships  with significant  suppliers and major customers to understand the
extent to which the Company is  vulnerable  to any  failure by third  parties to
remedy  their  own  Year  200  issues.  Based  on such  preliminary  assessment,
management  believes  that the Company does not have  significant  exposure with
respect to third parties.

       The  Company's  preliminary  assessments  indicate  that the  worst  case
scenario with regard to the Year 2000 issue would be extreme delays in receiving
parts and materials needed for  manufacturing  and delays by customers in making
payments for fee-per-scan  and maintenance  services.  In the Company's  current
financial  position,  such circumstances  could threaten the Company's continued
existence.
