                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.

         The operating results of the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31,
1999 or for any other interim period. The accompanying condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2.       NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share," requires presentation of both basic and diluted net loss per share
in the financial statements. The Company's basic net loss per share is the same
as its diluted net loss per share because inclusion of outstanding stock options
and warrants in the calculation is antidilutive. Net loss per share is based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 3.       INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         The Company closed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 2,500,000
shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share in August 1997. In
September 1997, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase an additional
375,000 shares of common stock at $14.00 per share. Net proceeds of
approximately $37,000,000 were received by the Company. All shares of
convertible preferred stock were converted to common stock upon the IPO.

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

         This report contains forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially due to factors
that include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed herein under "Risk
Factors That May Affect Future Results" as well as those discussed in the "Risk
Factors That May Affect Future Results" section of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

OVERVIEW

         Computer Motion, Inc. (the "Company") develops and markets proprietary
robotic and computerized surgical systems that are intended to enhance a
surgeon's performance and centralize and simplify a surgeon's control of the
operating room ("OR"). The Company believes that its products will provide
surgeons with the precision and dexterity necessary to perform complex,
minimally invasive surgical procedures, as well as enable surgeons to control
critical devices in the OR through simple verbal commands. The Company believes
that its products will broaden the scope and increase the effectiveness of
minimally invasive surgery, improve patient outcomes, and create a safer, more
efficient and cost effective OR.

         The Company's AESOP(R) robotic endoscope positioning system is Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") cleared. AESOP allows direct surgeon control of the
endoscope through simple verbal commands, eliminating the need for a member of a
surgical staff to manually control the camera and providing a more stable and
sustainable endoscopic image. The Company believes that AESOP is the world's
first FDA-cleared robot and first voice control interface for a surgical device.
Several hundred AESOP units have been sold worldwide, which the Company believes
have been used to perform tens of thousands of procedures.

         The Company's HERMES(TM) Control Center is designed to enable a surgeon
to directly control multiple OR devices, including various laparoscopic,
arthroscopic and video devices, as well as the Company's robotic devices,
through simple verbal commands. HERMES also provides standardized visual and
digitized voice feedback to a surgical team. The Company believes that the
enhanced control and feedback provided by HERMES has the potential to improve
safety, increase efficiency, shorten procedure times and reduce costs. Ten 510
(k) submissions relating to HERMES have been cleared by the FDA and Stryker
Corporation's Endoscopy Division is currently marketing HERMES under an OEM
agreement with the Company.

         The Company's ZEUS(TM) Robotic Surgical System is designed to
fundamentally improve a surgeon's ability to perform complex surgical procedures
and enable new, minimally invasive surgical procedures, including fully
endoscopic multivessel coronary artery bypass grafts ("E-CABG(TM)") which are
currently very difficult or impossible to perform endoscopically. ZEUS is
comprised of three surgeon-controlled robotic arms, one of which positions the
endoscope and two of which manipulate surgical instruments. The Company believes
that ZEUS will improve a surgeon's dexterity and precision and enhance
visualization of, and access to, confined operative sites. The Company also
believes that new minimally invasive surgical procedures performed with ZEUS
will result in reduced patient pain and trauma, fewer complications, lessened
cosmetic concerns and shortened convalescent periods and will increase the
number of patients qualified for certain surgical procedures. In addition, the
Company believes that an increase in minimally invasive procedures will result
in lower overall healthcare costs to providers, payors and patients. The Company
has completed Phase I clinical trials for both ZEUS-based laparoscopic
procedures and ZEUS-based cardiac procedures under Investigational Device
Exemptions ("IDE"). The Company is currently seeking clearance from the FDA to
commence multi-center pivotal ZEUS-based laparoscopic and cardiac clinical
trials in the United States.

         The Company has sustained significant losses since inception and
expects to continue to incur significant losses due to research and development
efforts, costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals and clearances,
continued sales and marketing expenditures to increase sales and other costs
associated with the Company's anticipated growth. Furthermore, the Company
anticipates that its operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter
to quarter in the future, depending on a number


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. These factors
include timing and results of clinical trials, delays associated with FDA and
other clearance processes, clinician, hospital and payor acceptance of the
Company's products, the number, timing and significance of product enhancements
and new products by the Company and its competitors, health care reimbursement
policies and product performance and quality issues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
1998.

         Revenue. Revenue increased $2,425,000 (107%) to $4,699,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,274,000 for the same period in 1998.
The Company's HERMES and ZEUS product lines were principally responsible for the
revenue increase. HERMES revenue of $1,270,000 for the quarter was up 177% from
prior year levels and resulted mainly from commercial shipments of the HERMES
Control Center under the Company's OEM arrangement with its initial HERMES
alliance partner, Stryker Corporation. ZEUS revenue of $1,673,000 for the
quarter was up 708% from prior year levels and related to the sale of two ZEUS
systems outside the U.S., the placement of two ZEUS systems domestically and
on-going contractual payments from hospitals where ZEUS Robotic Surgical Systems
have been installed under research and clinical development arrangements.
AESOP(R) second quarter revenue of $1,756,000 increased 9% over the previous
year's second quarter level mainly as a result of higher average selling prices,
which more than offset a slight decline in unit sales.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $1,397,000 (106%) to $2,720,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,323,000 for the same period in
1998. Gross margin decreased slightly to 57.9 % in the second quarter 1999 from
58.2% in the second quarter 1998. Pressure on gross margin will continue until
the Company receives FDA clearance for ZEUS and is able to produce and sell at a
greater volume.

         Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $126,000 (4%) to $2,991,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,865,000 for the same period in 1998. The
increase was due mainly to the addition of field support personnel as the
Company expanded its domestic service and training capability. The new hires
caused increased recruiting and relocation costs, and higher travel and business
related expenses. The Company expects selling, general and administrative
expense to increase in future periods as it continues to expand its revenue and
its sales, service and training capability.

         Research and Development. Research and development expense increased
$457,000 (25%) to $2,297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from
$1,840,000 for the same period in 1998, primarily as a result of the addition of
personnel, increased development efforts for HERMES and particularly ZEUS, and
pre-clinical and clinical trial activities related principally to ZEUS. The
Company expects research and development expenditures to increase as it
continues to develop its products and conduct clinical trials.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         Other Income. Other income of $188,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 compared to other income of $384,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998. Other income for both periods was principally comprised of interest
income derived from proceeds of the Company's IPO which was completed in August
1997.

         Income Taxes. Minimal provisions for state franchise taxes have been
recorded on the Company's pre-tax losses to date. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company had federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of
approximately $28,000,000 and $8,000,000, respectively which are available to
offset future federal and state taxable income. Federal carryforwards expire
fifteen years after the year of loss and state carryforwards expire five years
after the year of loss. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on
the deferred tax asset because of the uncertainty regarding its realization.

         Net Loss. The net loss for the second quarter 1999 was $2,387,000 ($.28
per share) compared to $3,004,000 ($.38 per share) for the second quarter 1998
as increased gross profit derived from increased revenue was somewhat offset by
the sum of increased operating expenses and reduced other income. Weighted
average shares increased from 7,941,000 to 8,419,000 mainly as a result of the
exercise of stock options and warrants and the issuance of shares under the
Company's employee stock purchase plan.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998.

         Revenue. Revenue increased $4,300,000 (99%) to $8,651,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $4,351,000 for the same period in 1998. The
increase resulted principally from higher HERMES and ZEUS revenues which
increased $1,726,000 (247%) and $2,377,000 (471%), respectively.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $2,451,000 (98%) to $4,958,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,507,000 for the same period in 1998.
Gross margin decreased slightly to 57.3% from 57.6% between the two periods.
Pressure on gross margin will continue until the Company receives FDA clearance
for ZEUS and is able to produce and sell at greater volume.

         Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $523,000 (10%) to $5,964,000 for the first half
of 1999 as compared to $5,441,000 for the first half of 1998. The increase was
due to the addition of sales and managerial personnel, related recruiting and
relocation costs, greater travel and business expenses and higher commissions
based on increased sales.

         Research and Development. Research and development expense increased
$946,000 (26%) to $4,531,000 for the first half of 1999 from $3,585,000 for the
first half of 1998, primarily as a result of additional personnel, increased
development efforts with respect to HERMES and ZEUS, and pre-clinical and
clinical activities associated with ZEUS.

         Other Income. Other income of $427,000 in the first half 1999 compared
to other income of $797,000 for the first half of 1998. Other income for both
periods was mainly interest income derived from proceeds of the Company's IPO
which was completed in August 1997.

         Net Loss. The net loss for the first six months of 1999 was $5,123,000
($0.61 per share) compared to $5,735,000 ($0.73 per share) for the first six
months of 1998 as increased gross profit derived from increased revenue was
somewhat offset by the sum of increased operating expenses and reduced other
income. Weighted average shares outstanding increased from 7,803,000 to
8,404,000 mainly as a result of the exercise of stock options and warrants and
the issuance of shares under the Company's employee stock purchase plan.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Since its inception, the Company's expenses have significantly exceeded
its revenue, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $38,320,000 as of June 30,
1999. Until its initial public offering in August 1997, the Company had
primarily relied on proceeds from issuance of preferred and common stock and
bridge debt financing to fund its operations.

         In August 1997, pursuant to an S-1 registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-29505) for
2,875,000 shares of its common stock, the Company completed its initial public
offering by selling 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $14.00 per share, less
underwriting discounts and commissions of $.98 per share, to its underwriters,
Montgomery Securities and Piper Jaffray, Inc. The Company received net proceeds
of $32,550,000 from this sale before deducting offering expenses. Effective upon
the closing of the IPO, all of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred
stock of the Company were converted into 2,344,387 shares of common stock.

         In September 1997, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase
an additional 375,000 shares of common stock directly from the Company at a
price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions of $.98
per share. The Company received net proceeds of $4,883,000 from this sale before
deducting offering expenses.

         In conjunction with completing the IPO, the Company incurred total
direct offering expenses of $727,000. Total net proceeds to the Company from the
IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and total direct offering expenses, was $36,706,000.

         In 1997, the Company used $3,250,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO
for repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness and $490,000 to make capital
purchases. In 1998, the Company made capital purchases totaling $1,784,000. For
the first six months of 1999, capital purchases were $835,000. Proceeds from the
IPO are also funding the Company's current operating losses. The remaining net
proceeds of the IPO of $14,210,000 have been invested in short-term investment
grade debt securities.

         At June 30, 1999, the Company's current ratio (current assets divided
by current liabilities) was 5.8 to 1 versus 7.8 to 1 at December 31, 1998, and
reflects the use of the initial public offering proceeds to fund operations.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's net cash used by
operating activities of $6,740,000 was primarily attributable to the net loss of
$5,123,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $2,705,000.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash outflow from purchase of
plant and equipment was $835,000. The Company currently has no material
commitments for capital expenditures, but is planning to procure additional
leased space in anticipation of continued business growth.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by financing
activities of $472,000 was attributable to proceeds from stock option exercises
and the issuance of common stock under the Company's employee stock purchase
plan.

<PAGE>   10

         Our operations to date have consumed substantial amounts of cash, and
we expect our capital and operating expenditures to continue to increase. We
believe that our current cash balance should be adequate to fund our expected
operating losses and satisfy our capital requirements into the second half of
2000. Our need for additional financing will depend upon numerous factors,
including, but not limited to, the extent and duration of our future operating
losses, the level and timing of future revenue and expenditures, the progress
and scope of clinical trials, the timing and costs required to receive both
United States and international governmental approvals or clearances, market
acceptance of new products, the results and scope of ongoing research and
development projects, the costs of training physicians to become proficient in
the use of our products and the costs of further developing marketing and
distribution capabilities. To the extent that existing resources are
insufficient to fund our activities, we may seek to raise additional funds
through public or private financing. We can not assure you that additional
financing, if required, would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If
adequate funds are not available, our business, financial condition and results
of operations would be materially adversely affected.

YEAR 2000 MATTERS

Many existing information technology ("IT") systems, such as computer systems
and software products, were not designed to correctly process dates after
December 31, 1999. We have assessed the impact of such "Year 2000" issues on our
products and internal IT systems, as well as on our significant suppliers. Our
products are and have always been Year 2000 compliant. We have recently
implemented a new Year 2000 compliant business system. We have had discussions
with our significant suppliers regarding their plans to investigate, identify
and remedy their Year 2000 issues, but they are outside our control and if they
fail to appropriately address their Year 2000 issues, such failure could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. For example, if Year 2000 problems experienced by any of our
significant suppliers result in or contribute to delays or interruptions of our
delivery of products or services, such delays or interruptions could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, many of our customers depend, in part, on third-party
payors, both private and governmental, for much of their revenues. Any inability
of our customers to obtain payment from such payors could impact their ability
to pay for our products. Finally, we could be materially adversely effected by a
disruption in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues.

Should we not be completely successful in mitigating internal and external Year
2000 risks, the result could be a disruption of our operations, including among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, manufacture
products, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. We
believe that under a worst case scenario, we could continue the majority of
normal business activities on a manual basis.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         Computer Motion operates in a rapidly changing environment that
involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following
discussion summarizes some of these risks which could affect our actual future
results and could cause them to differ materially from any forward-looking
statements we have made.

         We have a limited operating history and have not yet made a profit. The
HERMES and ZEUS product lines are important to our future success and ZEUS has
not achieved U.S. regulatory clearance, and neither product has yet achieved
market acceptance. Government regulation of the medical device


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

industry is strict and regulatory approvals are generally lengthy, expensive and
uncertain. Third-party payors may be unwilling to reimburse hospitals for use of
our products. We have competition and there are alternative treatments and
procedures to using our products. Our products are subject to rapid
technological change and our success, in part, is based on our ability to obtain
patent protection for our products. We are dependent on sole source suppliers
for principal components of our products. Our anticipated growth will place
significant demands on our management and resources, particularly in research
and development, sales and marketing and manufacturing. A more detailed
discussion of factors that could affect our future results can be found in the
"Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results" section of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and we strongly
encourage you to review same.

ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's financial instruments include cash and short-term investment grade
debt securities. At June 30, 1999, the carrying values of the Company's
financial instruments approximated their fair values based on current market
prices and rates.

It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments.
The Company does not currently have material foreign currency exposure as the
majority of its international transactions are denominated in U.S. currency.
Accordingly, the Company does not have significant overall currency exposure at
June 30, 1999.

ITEM 2.      CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Reference is made to the discussion of the use of proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering under the caption "Financial Condition" in Management's
Discussion and Analysis.

On June 14, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of
a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for
each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to shareholders of record
on the close of business on June 28, 1999. Reference is made to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 18, 1999.

ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On May 19, 1999, the Company held its annual meeting of shareholders with
shareholders holding 7,583,215 shares of common stock (representing 90.2% of the
