              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

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, 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 calendar 1999 are primarily for operating
expenses which may include significant litigation expense. The Company's
existing cash resources will not be sufficient to fund its planned operations
through calendar 1999 without the sale of additional licenses or a reduction in
operating expenses.


NOTE 2 -- NET INCOME PER SHARE:

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

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 hard disk drive recording
technology and to manufacture head and disk components for disk drives. 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, 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. The Company
will not be able to sustain its operations beyond fiscal 1999 without the sale
of such additional licenses or a reduction in operating expenses.

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 month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company
did not engage in any financing or investing activities. The Company used cash
in its operations of $464,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. 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. As of December 31,
1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $849,000.

     The Company's commitments for cash payments in calendar year 1999 are
primarily for operating expenses, which, going forward, may include significant
litigation expense. 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, there can be no assurance that the Company can
enter into a new license agreement in fiscal 1999 or at any subsequent time. Any
such failure to enter into licenses or reduce operating expenses would have
material adverse affects on the Company's business and would result in the
Company's cash reserves being inadequate to fund the Company's operations.

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 and $667,000 for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1998, related to the recognition
of deferred revenues associated with the license sold to Read-Rite. Revenues for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 were $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 fees
received from the license with TDK entered into in September 1997.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $245,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1997 to $303,000 in the quarter ended December
31, 1998. This increase was largely the result of increases in litigation
expenses related to enforcement of the Company's intellectual property rights
during the quarter. For the six month periods ending December 31, 1997 and 1998,
selling, general and administrative expenses were $765,000 and $485,000
respectively. This decrease was due to lower headcount and lower overhead
expense as the Company reduced its scope of operations.

     Income Taxes

     The Company 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.
