1. UNAUDITED RESULTS
 
  The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, the unaudited
information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of
operations for the interim periods shown on this report are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full year. The interim financials
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes for the year ended January 3, 1998 included in the Company's Form 10-K
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
2. NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
  During the third quarter of 1998, basic and diluted net loss per share were
calculated as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  The computation of diluted earnings per share for October 3, 1998 and
September 27, 1997 excludes the effect of assuming the exercise of certain
outstanding stock options and the conversion of convertible securities because
the effect would be anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss during the
year. As of October 3, 1998, there were 784,592 of such options outstanding,
with exercise prices ranging from $0.40-$9.75 per share.
 
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
pronouncement sets forth requirements for disclosure of the Company's
comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. There were no
items of other comprehensive income; therefore comprehensive income equals net
income.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements containing the words "expects,"
"anticipates," "believes" and words of similar import, constitute "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of the private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are subject to various
risks and uncertainties, including those referred to in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-14541) and in the Company's
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998, that could cause actual
future results and events to differ materially from those currently
anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements.
 
  The Company is engaged in the design, development and commercialization of
the Photon Radiosurgery System ("PRS"), a proprietary therapeutic device for
the treatment of cancerous tumors through the application of radiation
directly into the tumor. To date, the Company has not received any revenue
from the sale of its current PRS model, the PRS400, and does not anticipate
receiving any revenue from the sale of its product until the fourth quarter
1998. The Company has an accumulated deficit totaling approximately $29.0
million since its inception and expects to continue to incur losses until such
time as its commercialization efforts yield offsetting revenues. The Company
anticipates that its research and development, sales, general and
administrative and manufacturing expenses will continue to increase for the
foreseeable future as it pursues the commercialization of the PRS400.
 
  The Company received a 510(k) market clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") in July 1998, to market the PRS400 for the treatment of
intracranial tumors. The Company has introduced the PRS400 as its first
commercial product.
 
  Clinical use of the PRS for the treatment of brain tumors continues at
hospitals in the U.S., Europe and Japan, with formal clinical trials leading
toward product approval continuing at sites in Japan.
 
  The Company received authorization from the Medical Devices Agency (MDA) in
the United Kingdom to initiate intraoperative clinical breast tumor trials in
that country using the PRS as an adjunctive treatment with breast surgery.
Those trials commenced and are on-going at The Middlesex Hospital, University
College Hospitals, London, England. Results from the above trials, if
favorable, will be used to support applications to begin human clinical trials
using the PRS to treat breast cancer tumors in the U.S. and Germany.
 
  The Company also received authorization from the MDA to initiate clinical
trials of imaged-guided interstitial treatment of breast tumors using the PRS.
These trials, scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 1998, will test the
use of the PRS in a minimally invasive procedure as an alternative to surgery.
 
  Earlier this year the Company obtained approval from the FDA on an
Investigational Device Exemption for use of the PRS in the treatment of
certain skin tumors (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas and Kaposi's
sarcomas). Those trials have commenced and three patients have been treated to
date at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center, New York Medical College, Bronx, New
York.
 
  The Company intends to develop methods for use of the PRS in other clinical
applications and to conduct new clinical trials of those additional
applications, contingent upon obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals
prior to the start of a new clinical trial.
 
  The Company has begun to assess its exposure to the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue
and is in the process developing a comprehensive plan to comply with all of
the Y2K requirements so as to reduce the risk of business wide disruption.
This assessment includes management's consideration of such issues as the
effect on its internal business software system, product readiness, vendor
readiness, and the possible liability that the Company may have to third
parties if
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
the Company's systems are not Y2K compliant. The Company estimates the cost to
comply with Y2K requirements to be between $250,000 and $300,000 and expects
to be Y2K compliant in the third quarter of 1999.
 
  The Company has formed a task force to address these issues. The task force
is performing a detailed review of the internal systems, as well as requiring
its major vendors and service providers to assess their state of readiness and
the potential impact of noncompliance on the Company. The Company will then
develop a plan to address any problems identified by the task force and
implement a plan to resolve such problems in a timely manner. The task force
will also develop contingency plans, which include identifying vendors that
are Y2K compliant and will procure inventory in advance to meet production
needs for the first few months of 2000.
 
  There can be no assurance that the Company will not incur significant costs
or experience delays in achieving Y2K compliance for its internal information
systems and current products. This could have a material adverse impact on the
future operations of the Company.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
 Three Months Ended October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997
 
  Revenue. The Company had revenue of $0 in the third three months of 1998, as
compared with $327,000 in the third three months of 1997. The Company had
recorded the sale of a PRS Model 3 to Toshiba Medical Company in the three
months that ended September 27, 1997.
 
  Research and Development expenses. The Company's research and development
expenses increased by $269,459 to $1,289,288 in the third three months of 1998
from $1,019,829 in the third three months of 1997. The principal cost in
research and development was continuing development of the PRS400 and
maintaining ISO 9001 registration for operating a quality system.
Additionally, there were significant increases in activity in the Company's
continued support of clinical trials, satisfying FDA requirements, and
developing protocols to treat skin tumors and to research the application of
the PRS for the treatment of macular degeneration. Other factors contributing
to the increase in research and development expenses were costs incurred in
complying with regulatory requirements and continuing support of breast tumor
trials in the United Kingdom.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $75,775 to $794,864 in the third
three months of 1998 from $719,089 in the third three months in 1997. The
increase is primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's Sales and
Marketing department, which was focused on developing and purchasing marketing
material, attending trade shows and hiring new personnel.
 
  Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $68,699 to $105,856 in the
third three months of 1998 from $174,555 in the third three months in 1997.
The decrease resulted from continued expenditure of the proceeds of the
Company's initial public offering.
 
 Nine Months Ended October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997
 
  Revenue. The Company had revenue of $0 in the first nine months of 1998, as
compared with $725,374 in the first nine months of 1997. The 1997 revenue was
the result of the selling of two Model 3 PRS to Toshiba Medical Company for
the use in Japanese clinical trials in accordance with the agreements between
the Company and Toshiba. This decrease is a reflection of the Company's plan
not to market the PRS Model 3. The Company has elected to market the PRS400, a
microprocessor-controlled version of the PRS Mode13, in the United States now
that it has received 510(k) market clearance from the FDA.
 
  Research and Development expenses. The Company's research and development
expenses increased by $857,078 to $3,907,057 in the first nine months of 1998
from $3,049,979 in the first nine months of 1997. The principal cost in
research and development was continuing development of the PRS400 and
maintaining ISO 9001 registration for operating a quality system.
Additionally, there were significant increases in activity in the Company's
continued support of clinical trials, satisfying FDA requirements, and
developing protocols to treat skin tumors and to research the application of
the PRS for the treatment of macular degeneration. Other factors contributing
to the increase in
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
research and development expenses were costs incurred in complying with
regulatory requirements and continuing support of breast tumor trials in the
United Kingdom.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $530,582 to $2,235,544 in the first
nine months of 1998 from $1,704,962 in the first nine months in 1997. The
increase is primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's Sales and
Marketing department, which was focused on developing and purchasing marketing
material, attending trade shows and hiring new personnel.
 
  Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $99,877 to $403,147 in the
first nine months of 1998 from $503,024 in the first nine months in 1997. The
decrease resulted from continued expenditure of the proceeds of the Company's
initial public offering.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  In February 1997 the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,275,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $8.50 per share. As a result of
the initial public offering, the Company received net proceeds of $16,818,854.
 
  Consolidated working capital was $8.7 million at October 3, 1998, compared
with $14.3 million at January 3, 1998. Included in working capital are cash
and cash equivalents of $4.5 million at October 3, 1998, compared with $2.3
million at January 3, 1998. During the nine months ended October 3, 1998, $6.3
million of cash was used for operating activities. The Company anticipates
that it will be necessary to seek financing in the future to expand its
marketing and manufacturing capabilities, to support the research and
development of additional applications for the PRS400, to further fund
clinical trials and to provide working capital. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all.
If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity
securities, dilution to existing shareholders may occur.
 
  The Company maintains medical product liability insurance policies with
respect to its clinical trials, which, the Company believes, contain
reasonable deductibles and other ordinary and customary provisions. The
Company believes that these policies cover such risks in such amounts as are
reasonable and prudent under the circumstances, and the Company does not
anticipate that claims under these policies, if any, will have a material
adverse impact on the Company's liquidity or capital resources. Prior to
commercial sale of its products, the Company will be required to obtain
product liability insurance covering the commercial use of its products.
 
  The Company's business plan calls for various applications of the PRS,
including the treatment of tumors in the breast, skin, liver and kidney, a
program to research its use in treating macular degeneration. The Company
estimates that the capital requirements to complete the commercialization of
the PRS400 for the treatment of brain tumors will be approximately $1.0
million. The Company believes that such an amount will be needed to purchase
capital equipment for assembly and manufacturing of components for the PRS400
and to support sales and marketing. At this point, the Company is not able to
estimate the capital requirements of commercializing other applications of the
PRS.

ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  On February 4, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $8.50 per share. Pursuant
to an option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-
allotments, Needham & Company, Inc. and Dain Bosworth Incorporated purchased
additional 275,000 shares of Common Stock on March 4, 1997. The shares were
registered with the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-14541), which was declared effective on January
23, 1997.
 
  As of October 3, 1998, the Company has used a portion of the net proceeds
from its public offering for the purposes of funding research and development,
sales, general and administrative expenses and fixed assets. Since the
Company's initial public offering, the Company has expensed approximately $8.6
million for research and development and, $4.5 million for sales and general
and administrative expenses and capitalized $1.5 million of fixed assets.
