              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial information as of April 30, 2000, and for the three
months and six months then ended is unaudited and has been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited financial information is presented on a basis consistent with the
audited financial statements and contains all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
such interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year. The interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company considers its marketable securities available-for-sale as defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115. There were no
material realized or unrealized gains or losses nor any material differences
between estimated fair values, based upon quoted market prices, and the costs of
securities as of April 30, 2000.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined under the
first-in, first-out method. Costs include materials, labor and manufacturing
overhead. Inventories are shown net of applicable reserves and allowances.
Inventories consist of the following:

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing the net income by the sum of the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all
dilutive securities by applying the treasury stock method. The following table
sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

On August 11, 1999, a demand for arbitration was filed by PracSys Corporation
against the Company in Boston, Massachusetts. On February 6, 1998, the Company
contracted with PracSys to build two linear particle accelerators intended to
produce Pd-103 isotope to be incorporated in the Company's Pd-103 brachytherapy
seed products. PracSys did not complete the manufacturing of the accelerators,
and the Company demanded that PracSys turn over the uncompleted accelerators.
PracSys initiated an arbitration proceeding against the Company on the basis of
claims of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and unfair and deceptive
trade practices. The Company has vigorously denied and is defending against
PracSys' claims, and has also asserted counterclaims against PracSys for breach
of contract and fraud and misrepresentation in connection with PracSys' failure
to complete the accelerators. Arbitration began on January 24, 2000 and a final
ruling by the arbitrator is expected by June 2000. An unfavorable outcome of the
arbitration could have a significant adverse impact on the financial condition
of the Company.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein and the notes thereto and the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain matters discussed in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward looking as that term is defined by:
(i) the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "1995 Act") and
(ii) releases issued by the SEC. These statements are being made pursuant to the
provisions of the 1995 Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of
the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the 1995 Act. The Company cautions investors
that any forward looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of
future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in
such forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but
not limited to, any risks detailed herein or detailed from time to time in the
Company's filings with the SEC, including those factors identified under
"Business-Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1999. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999

NET SALES. Net sales increased $1,433,000, or 48%, to $4,440,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 2000 from $3,007,000 for the three months ended April 30,
1999. The increase in net sales was due to the increase in revenues generated
from the Company's brachytherapy product lines. Sales of the non-therapeutic
lines remained consistent between periods.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $1,053,000 or 55% to $2,965,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2000 from $1,912,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 1999. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 64% to 67%
during this period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was
primarily attributable to the significant proportionate increase in revenues
from the brachytherapy product lines in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, which
yield greater gross margins than the Company's non-therapeutic product lines.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $99,000, or 13%, to $864,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2000 from $765,000 for the three months ended April
30, 1999. SG&A as a percent of net sales decreased to 19% for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 from 25% for the same period in 1999. SG&A expenses
increased primarily due to the following: (i) the Company added a significant
number of administrative personnel throughout fiscal 1999 and has continued to
do so into fiscal 2000 to support the growth of the Company, and (ii) other
general and administrative expenses were increased to give effect to
management's plans for the expansion of the Company. We expect that general and
administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development efforts continued into the
second quarter of 2000 with such expenditures totaling $95,000 during this
period compared to $112,000 in the corresponding 1999 period. Such expenditures
may increase in future periods.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income increased $92,000 to
$221,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000 from $129,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 1999 primarily due to a change in the composition of the
Company's investment portfolio.

NET INCOME. Net income increased $680,000 to $1,397,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 2000 from $717,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1999.
The increase is a result of the factors described above.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999

NET SALES. Net sales increased $3,007,000, or 55%, to $8,441,000 for the six
months ended April 30, 2000 from $5,434,000 for the six months ended April 30,
1999. The increase in net sales was due to the increase in revenues generated
from the Company's brachytherapy product lines. Sales of the non-therapeutic
lines remained consistent between periods.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $2,193,000 or 64% to $5,623,000 for the six
months ended April 30, 2000 from $3,430,000 for the six months ended April 30,
1999. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 63% to 67% during this
period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily
attributable to the significant proportionate increase in revenues from the
Company's brachytherapy product lines in the first six months of fiscal 2000,
which yield greater gross margins than the Company's non-therapeutic product
lines.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $235,000, or 16%, to $1,698,000 for
the six months ended April 30, 2000 from $1,463,000 for the six months ended
April 30, 1999. SG&A as a percent of net sales decreased to 20% for the six
months ended April 30, 2000 from 27% for the same period in 1998. SG&A expenses
increased primarily due to the following: (i) the Company added a significant
number of administrative personnel throughout fiscal 1999 and has continued to
do so into fiscal 2000 to support the growth of the Company and (ii) other
general and administrative expenses were increased to give effect to
management's plans for the expansion of the Company. We expect that general and
administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development efforts continued into the
first half of 2000 with such expenditures totaling $138,000 during this period
compared to $204,000 in the corresponding 1999 period. Such expenditures may
increase in future periods.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME. Interest and other income increased $179,000 to
$430,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2000 from $251,000 for the six
months ended April 30, 1999 primarily due to a change in the composition of the
Company's investment portfolio.

NET INCOME. Net income increased $1,405,000 to $2,632,000 for the six months
ended April 30, 2000 from $1,227,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1999.
The increase is a result of the factors described above.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 2000, the Company had cash and investments in marketable securities
aggregating approximately $10.4 million and working capital of $12.5 million.
For the six months ended April 30, 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $2.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities
for capital expenditures, convertible notes and construction in progress totaled
approximately $1.7 million during the six months ended April 30, 2000. On
October 21, 1999, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Theseus Imaging Corporation ("Theseus"). The increase in notes receivable
resulted from an additional $1.7 million in secured loans to Theseus which was
partially offset by the repayment of the $500,000 principal balance of the
convertible note receivable from RadioMed Corporation ("Radiomed"). The
remaining accrued interest due from RadioMed was converted into 20,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock of RadioMed. Construction in progress includes payments
to PracSys Corp. of approximately $2.7 million for two linear accelerators
purchased pursuant to a purchase agreement dated February 6, 1998. The
manufacture of the accelerators has not been completed and disputes currently
exist between the parties with respect thereto. These disputes have been
submitted to arbitration (see Note 5 to Condensed Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). The Company is currently investigating what the costs
will be to complete the accelerators and anticipates that such costs will be
material.

The Company receives cash from the exercise of stock options. During the six
months ended April 30, 2000, cash received from the exercise of stock options
totaled approximately $374,000. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and
their related tax benefits will vary from period to period based upon, among
other factors, fluctuations in the market value of the Company's stock relative
to the exercise price of such options.

The Company is authorized to purchase up to $1.5 million of the Company's common
stock on the open market. No such shares have been repurchased as of April 30,
2000.

The primary objectives for the Company's investment portfolio are liquidity and
safety of principal. Investments are made to achieve the highest rate of return
to the Company, consistent with these two objectives. The Company invests its
excess cash in securities with varying maturities to meet projected cash needs.

To date, the Company's short term liquidity needs have generally consisted of
operating capital to finance growth in inventories, trade accounts receivable,
new product development, capital expenditures and strategic investments in
related businesses. The Company has satisfied these needs primarily through a
combination of private equity financings and from cash generated by operations.
The Company does not currently have long-term debt or a line of credit or
similar arrangements with a bank. Management anticipates that its existing cash
resources will be sufficient to fund its planned expansion over the next twelve
months, although additional funding may be required to fund the acquisition
and/or development of complementary businesses, technologies or products. In the
event additional needs for cash arise, the Company may raise additional funds
from a combination of sources including potential debt and equity issuances.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." The Company will be required to adopt SAB 101 for fiscal 2000. SAB
101 requires, among other things, that license and other up-front fees be
recognized over the term of the agreement, unless the fees are in exchange for
products delivered or services performed that represent the culmination of a
separate earnings process. The Company does not expect this change in accounting
principle to have a material effect on the Company's financial position and
results of operation.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 ("FAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
In May 1999, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of FAS 133 by one year.
The Company will be required to adopt FAS 133 for fiscal year 2001. This
statement establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities. Under FAS 133, all derivatives must be recognized as assets and
liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company does not expect this change
in accounting principle to have a material effect on the Company's financial
position and results of operation.
