              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by Censtor Corp. ("Censtor" or the "Company") in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information,
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year
ended June 30, 1998. The financial information presented herein should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1997 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        During this fiscal period, the employment of four of the remaining five
employees of the Company was terminated. The one remaining employee is
responsible for the finance and administrative duties for the company while
outside sources will be utilized for the Company's intellectual property
management duties. One of these companies is I. P. Managers, Inc. ("IPM"). IPM
has relationships with intellectual property law firms that will provide legal
services. IPM also specializes in consulting and expert witness services to the
legal profession.

NOTE 2 -- NET INCOME PER SHARE:

        In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128
replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share,
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the
previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share
amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share (in thousands):

NOTE 3 -- INCOME TAXES:

        The Company has recorded an income tax expense of $150,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, relating to the 10% Japanese withholding tax on
the sale of a license. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $550,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 which resulted in an income tax
provision of $50,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 1996. This
benefit provision reflected a revision to the Company's estimate of its
potential alternative minimum tax liability on earnings for the six months ended
December 31, 1996.


NOTE 4 -- LICENSE ARRANGEMENTS:

        On September 25, 1997, the Company entered into a licensing arrangement
with TDK Corporation, a Japanese component manufacturer, to license its
technology. The Company received a nonrefundable payment of $1.5 million on
September 26, 1997. This payment was subject to a 10% withholding tax by the
Japanese authorities. Under the terms of the Representation Agreement between
Censtor Corp. and IPM, the Company paid IPM a commission of ten percent of the
net payment received by Censtor from TDK. One of the directors of the Company is
also an officer and director of IPM.

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

        The following contains projections or other forward-looking statements
regarding future events or the future financial performance of Censtor Corp.
("Censtor" or the "Company"), including statements related to Censtor's 1998
operating plans, sale of licenses by the Company and future Censtor operating
expenses and cash flows. Actual events or results may differ materially as a
result of risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in documents the
Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Company's last filed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

        In the following discussion and analysis, forward-looking statements are
made in the Overview, Liquidity and Capital Resources, and Results of Operations
sections.

OVERVIEW

        The Company was formed in 1981 to develop perpendicular recording
technology and to manufacture head and disk components for disk drives. The
Company subsequently shifted the focus of its development efforts from
perpendicular to longitudinal contact recording technology. To date, the
Company's principal source of revenue has been license fees from disk drive
manufacturers. While the Company's license agreements typically provide for
on-going royalty payments by licensees based upon sales of products
incorporating the Company's technology, to date none of the Company's licensees
has commercialized products using the Company's technology and the Company has
received no recurring royalty revenue. Until the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
the Company had not been profitable in any fiscal period since inception, and,
as of December 31, 1997, had an accumulated deficit of $102.7 million. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain its recent
profitability or achieve or sustain significant revenues or profitability in the
future.

        Censtor's operating plans for fiscal 1998 focus on the perfection of the
Company's patent protection and other proprietary rights and the possible
exploitation of such rights through licenses or other strategic transactions
with disk drive manufacturers and other related companies. The Company expects
to finance these operations through sales of additional licenses such as the one
entered into between the Company and TDK Corporation ("TDK") in September 1997.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain its
operations beyond 1998 without the sale of such additional licenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
through private placements of its equity and debt securities and, to a lesser
extent, through licensing and research and development agreements.

        During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company did not
engage in any financing or investing activities. In comparison, in the six
months ended December 31, 1996, the Company used net cash from financing
activities of $5.0 million, primarily from the repayment of $5.4 million on
notes payable. The Company generated cash from investing activities of $1.1
million in the six months ended December 31, 1996 from sale of certain assets
and the transfer of workforce to Read-Rite Corporation ("Read-Rite"). During the
six months ended December 31, 1997, the Company generated cash in its operations
of $521,000, primarily from the sale of a license. The Company generated cash in
its operations of $3.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 1996,
primarily from the receipt of $5.8 million of the license fee from Read-Rite, a
significant portion of which was recorded as deferred revenue offset by
operating expenses and changes in operating net assets. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company had negative working capital of approximately $94,000.

        The Company's ability to fund its cash requirements and assert its
intellectual property rights in the future depends largely upon its success in
seeking new licensees. The Company believes the cash received from the license




                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

agreement with TDK will enable it to fund its planned operations through fiscal
1998. The Company's commitments for cash payments in fiscal year 1998 are
primarily for operating expenses, which, going forward, may include significant
litigation expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Revenues

        The Company's major revenue source has been fees from the sale of
license agreements with disk drive manufacturers. Revenue for the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 1997 was $333,000 and $2.4 million,
respectively, relating to the recognition of deferred revenue associated with
certain licenses to Read-Rite and to Western Digital Corp. ("WD") entered into
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and the new license with TDK entered
into in September 1997. Revenues of $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the
quarter and six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively, related to the
recognition of deferred revenues associated with the licenses sold to Read-Rite
and WD.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $467,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to $245,000 in the quarter ended December
31, 1997 and from $1.0 million for the six month period ended December 31, 1996
to $765,000 for the corresponding period this year. These decreases were largely
the result of lower headcount.

        Interest and Other Income, Net

        For the six month period ended December 31, 1996, interest and other
income, net, included a gain of $1.6 million relating to the transaction with
Read-Rite.

        Income Taxes

        The Company has recorded an income tax expense of $150,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, relating to the 10% Japanese withholding tax on
the sale of a license in September 1997. In the quarter ended December 31, 1996,
the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $550,000 which resulted in an
income tax provision of $50,000 for the six month period ended December 31,
1996. This benefit provision reflected a revision to the Company's estimate of
its potential alternative minimum tax liability on earnings for the six months
ended December 31, 1996.
