                              POSITRON CORPORATION
                     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,  1999.  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,
     1999, as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.

2.   COMPREHENSIVE  INCOME
     ---------------------

     Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standard ("SFAS") No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income."
     Comprehensive  income includes such items as unrealized  gains or losses on
     certain  investment  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.

3.   EARNINGS  PER  SHARE
     --------------------

     Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
     common shares  outstanding in each year and after  preferred stock dividend
     requirements.  Diluted  earnings  per common share assume that any dilutive
     convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each year were
     converted at those dates, with related  interest,  preferred stock dividend
     requirements and outstanding  common shares adjusted  accordingly.  It also
     assumes that  outstanding  common shares were increased by shares  issuable
     upon  exercise  of those  stock  options  for which  market  price  exceeds
     exercise price,  less shares which could have been purchased by the Company
     with related  proceeds.  The  convertible  preferred  stock and outstanding
     stock options and warrants were not included in the  computation of diluted
     earnings  per  common  share for 2000 since it would  have  resulted  in an
     antidilutive effect.

     The  following  table  sets  forth the  computation  of basic  and  diluted
     earnings per share:

================================================================================


4.   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.

5.   IMATRON  TRANSACTION
     --------------------

     In  May  1998,  the  Company   entered  into  an  agreement  (the  "Imatron
     Transaction") with Imatron Inc.  ("Imatron"),  pursuant to which in January
     1999, Imatron acquired a majority ownership of the Company.  In conjunction
     with the Imatron Transaction,  Imatron made working capital advances to the
     Company of  $600,000 to enable the Company to meet a portion of its current
     obligations.

     Upon  consummation  of the Imatron  Transaction  in January  1999,  Imatron
     acquired  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
     the shares of Imatron) and was issued nine million of the Company's  common
     stock in return for a nominal cash payment in the amount of $100.

     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 all
     reasonable  efforts to cause the  placement of 10 POSICAM  systems over the
     next three  years.  During  1998 the  Company  shipped a POSICAM  system to
     Imatron  Japan  as the  first  delivery  under  a  three-year  distribution
     agreement entered into during 1997. Imatron Japan, an affiliate of Imatron,
     is a major  distributor for Imatron's  Ultrafast CT and for the products of
     certain other high technology companies. Imatron owns a 24 percent minority
     interest in Imatron Japan.

     Imatron  has also agreed to help  facilitate  the  recapitalization  of the
     Company and 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 at least $8,000,000.

     In connection with the Imatron  Transaction,  the Company,  Imatron and two
     then current lenders to the Company, Uro-Tech and ProFutures,  entered into
     certain  agreements  whereby (a)  ProFutures  waived all past  defaults and
     extended  the  maturity  of the  ProFutures  Loan in  return  for a $50,000
     payment and the  issuance of warrants to purchase  1,150,000  shares of the
     Company's  common  stock  at  $0.25  per  share.  The  ProFutures  Loan was
     subsequently repaid in November 1998; (b) Imatron agreed to subordinate its
     loan to the ProFutures  Loan, (c) Uro-Tech  agreed to subordinate  its loan
     (with a current  balance of  approximately  $792,000 plus accrued  interest
     payable of approximately $272,000 at December 31, 1998) to Imatron's loan.

     In  August  of 1999,  Imatron  successfully  completed  raising a net $11.4
     million of equity capital for the Company.  This reduced  Imatron's current
     ownership  in  the  company  to  approximately  18%.  Consistent  with  the
     completion of the financing, the Company has repaid the Imatron bridge loan
     plus  interest  and paid the Uro-tech  loan plus  interest.  The  Company's
     President has resigned as Imatron's CFO and Imatron no longer has operating
     or voting control of the Company.

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

The  Company  is  including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly
Report  on  Form 10-QSB to make applicable and utilize the safe harbor provision
of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995  regarding  any
forward-looking  statements  made  by,  or  on  behalf  of,  the  Company.
Forward-looking  statements  include  statements  concerning  plans, objectives,
goals,  strategies,  future events or performance and underlying assumptions and
other  statements  which are other than statements of historical facts.  Certain
statements  contained  herein  are  forward-looking statements and, accordingly,
involve  risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to
differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in  the  forward-looking statements.

The  Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith
and  are  believed  by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without
limitations,  management's  examination  of  historical  operating  trends, data
contained  in the Company's records and other data available from third parties,
but  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  management's  expectation,  beliefs or
projections  will  result,  or  be  achieved,  or  be  accomplished.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&  1999.
--------

We  generated  a  loss  of  $312,000  for  the  three months ended June 30, 2000
compared  to  income  of  $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.  Our
current year loss was primarily the result of the hiring of additional personnel
and  increased  operating  expenses as we resumed full operation and production.

We generated system revenue of $1,200,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2000  on  one  system sale versus no system revenue for the same period in 1999.
We  received  no  upgrade  revenue  for  the quarter versus $61,000 in 1999.  In
addition,  service  and component sales revenue decreased $51,000 to $341,000 in
2000  from  $392,000 during the same period in 1999 due to a decrease in service
work.  Service  revenue  decreases  are  attributable  to normal fluctuations in
service.

Our  gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $157,000 to
$456,000  compared to $299,000 for the same three months in 1999.  This increase
was  due  primarily  to  the  sale of a system during the quarter ended June 30,
2000.

Total  operating  expense  increased  $627,000  to $832,000 for the three months
ended  June  30,  2000  from  $205,000  for  the  same three months in 1999. The
increase  results  primarily  from  significant  staff  additions  and  related
operating  expenditures  in  all  areas  as we went back into full operation and
production.

Net  interest  income  was  $64,000  for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared  to  net  interest expense of $48,000 for the same three months in 1999
due  primarily  to the investment interest in 2000 on proceeds of equity funding
from  August  of  1999.  During the second quarter of 1999, interest was paid on
the  Imatron  and  Uro-Tech  loans.


COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 &
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999.
-----

We  generated a loss of $469,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to  income  of $80,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Our current year
loss  was  primarily  the  result  of  the  hiring  of  additional personnel and
increased  operating  expenses  as  we  resumed  full  operation and production.

We  generated  system revenue of $2,000,000 during the six months ended June 30,
2000  on the sale of two systems versus no system revenue for the same period in
1999.  We  received  no  upgrade revenue during 2000 versus $138,000 for the six
months  ended  June  30, 1999.  In addition, service and component sales revenue
increased  $7,000  to  $710,000  in 2000 from $703,000 during the same period in
1999  due  to increased service work. Service revenue increases are attributable
to  normal  fluctuations  in  service.

Our  gross  profit  for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $567,000 to
$1,112,000  compared to $545,000 for the same six months in 1999.  This increase
was  due  primarily  to the sale of two systems during the six months ended June
30,  2000.

Total  operating  expense  increased $1,365,000 to $1,730,000 for the six months
ended  June  30,  2000  from  $365,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase
results  primarily  from  significant  staff  additions  and  related  operating
expenditures  in  all  areas as we went back into full operation and production.

Net  interest  income  was  $149,000  for  the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared  to  net  interest expense of $100,000 for the same six months in 1999,
due  primarily to the investment interest earned in the first six months of 2000
on  proceeds of equity funding from August of 1999.  During the first six months
of  1999,  interest  was  paid  on  the  Imatron  and  Uro-Tech  loans.

FINANCIAL  CONDITION
--------------------

As  a  result  of the equity funding in August 1999, (see 5. Imatron Transaction
above), we began hiring personnel and incurring increasing operating expenses as
we resumed full operation and production.  Our return to full operation resulted
in  the sale of two systems in 2000, but also resulted in increased overhead and
operating  expenses.

Despite  the sale of the two systems, we have previously been unable to sell our
POSICAMTM  systems  in  sufficient  quantities  to be profitable and there is no
guarantee  that we will reach a system sales level that will generate profits on
a  consistent  basis.  Consequently,  we  have sustained substantial accumulated
losses.  Due  to  the  sizeable  selling  prices  of our systems and the limited
number  of  systems  sold  or  placed  in  service  each year, our revenues have
fluctuated  significantly  year-to-year.  We  have  an  accumulated  deficit  of
$51,544,000  at  June  30,  2000.
