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 three months ended September 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year
ended June 30, 1999. 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, 1998 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The Company's cash flow needs in fiscal 1999 are primarily for operating
expenses which may include significant litigation expense. The Company believes
its existing cash resources will enable it to fund its planned operations
through fiscal 1999.

 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 1999
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. 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 September 30, 1998, had an accumulated deficit of $102.3 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 1999 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. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain its operations beyond 1999
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 quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company did not
engage in any financing or investing activities. The Company used cash in its
operations of $202,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company generated cash in its operations
of $953,000, primarily from the sale of a license. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company had negative working capital of approximately $633,000.

     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 its existing cash reserves will
enable it to fund its planned operations through fiscal 1999. The Company's
commitments for cash payments in fiscal year 1999 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. Revenues of $333,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998, related to the recognition of deferred

                                       7

<PAGE>   8

revenues associated with the license sold to Read-Rite. Revenue for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 was $2.1 million, 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 fees received from the license with TDK entered into in September 1997.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $520,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to $182,000 in the quarter ended September
30, 1998. This decrease was largely the result of lower headcount.

     Income Taxes

     The Company recorded an income tax expense of $150,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, relating to the 10% Japanese withholding tax on the
sale of a license in September 1997.


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

     On October 16, 1998, the Company's annual meeting of shareholders was held.
At this meeting, the shareholders elected Sabine Austin, Gary J. Summers and
Michael R. Morgan to serve as directors of the Company until the next annual
Meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been duly elected and
qualified. Of the directors, Sabine Austin received 13,738,209 votes in favor of
her election with 40,000 votes opposed; Gary J. Summers received 13,738,209
votes in favor and 40,000 opposed; and Michael R. Morgan received 13,738,209
votes in favor and 40,000 votes opposed. At the annual meeting, the shareholders
also ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 with 13,718,209 shares voting
in favor of such ratification, 10,000 shares opposed and 50,000 shares
abstaining.
