POSITRON CORPORATION
SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for Positron Corporation (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as reported in the Form 10-KSB, have been omitted.

2.
Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from POSICAMTM system contracts are recognized when all significant costs have been incurred and the system has been shipped to the customer. The Company also recognizes revenue on bill and hold transactions when the product is completed and is ready to be shipped and the risk of loss is transferred to the customer. In certain cases, at the customers’ request, the Company is storing the product for a brief period of time. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for the current year. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

3.
Going Concern Consideration

Since its inception, the Company has been unable to sell POSICAM™ systems in quantities sufficient to be operationally profitable. Consequently, the Company has sustained substantial losses. At September 30, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $60,875,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,468,000. Due to the sizable prices of the Company’s systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed in service each year, the Company’s revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year.

The Company utilized proceeds of $2,050,000 from notes payable to affiliated entities to fund its operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. As a result, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $154,000 at September 30, 2005. At the same date, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,599,000.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its business plan and ultimately achieving operational profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on its ability to 1) achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations, 2) control costs and expand revenues from existing or new business and 3) meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near future.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc.

Financing Agreements dated May 21, 2004

On May 26, 2004 and June 17, 2004, the Company sold two separate secured convertible promissory notes under a Note Purchase Agreement dated May 21, 2004, to IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. (“IMAGIN”) in the principal amounts of $400,000 and $300,000, respectively. Interest is charged on the outstanding principal at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is payable annually to the extent of positive cash flow on the anniversary dates of these notes. The principal and any unpaid interest must be paid on the earlier to occur of May 21, 2006 or when declared due and payable by IMAGIN upon occurrence of an event of default. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series C Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These notes are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2005, principal of $700,000 has been advanced and remains outstanding related to these notes. Full convertibility of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent to amend its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

In a second stage of the financing IMAGIN agreed to purchase additional secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000. These notes were to be purchased over a six and a half month period, commencing July 15, 2004. These notes are due and payable on May 21, 2006. These notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series D Preferred Stock that, in turn is convertible into an aggregate of 52,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2005, principal of $1,208,500 had been advanced related to these notes. On June 30, 2005, IMAGIN converted $575,000 of these promissory notes into shares of Series D Preferred Stock that, in turn were converted into 23,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This conversion reduced the principal owed under these promissory notes from $1,208,500 to $633,500. Full convertibility of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent to amend its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

The agreements with IMAGIN provided for a $200,000 transaction fee payable to IMAGIN upon completion of the financing. Under terms of these agreements, this fee obligation was to be reduced by an amount equal to $0.02 multiplied by the number of warrants issued to IMAGIN. The agreements with IMAGIN also provided for the issuance of new warrants for the purchase of 4,575,000 shares of common stock, which resulted in a $91,500 decrease in this fee obligation to $108,500. This fee obligation is included in the principal of the notes payable to IMAGIN at September 30, 2005. The Company allocated the proceeds received from this convertible debt with detachable warrants using the relative fair value of the individual elements at the time of issuance. The notes payable to IMAGIN contain an unamortized discount balance of approximately $21,000 at September 30, 2005. The discount of the debt is to be amortized over the term of the notes payable.

Patrick G. Rooney, Chairman of the Board of the Company is the son of Patrick Rooney, Director of Corporate Development of IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. Patrick G. Rooney was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the financing with IMAGIN.

Financing Agreements dated August 8, 2005

On August 8, 2005, the Company sold to IMAGIN 10% secured convertible promissory notes under a Note Purchase Agreement, dated the same date, in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000. As of September 30, 2005, IMAGIN has purchased $400,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on August 7, 2008. These notes are convertible into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Full convertibility of the notes into shares of common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent for amending its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

FORM 10-QSB
 
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price at the date of the agreement, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. The fair value of the common stock at the commitment date of $1,200,000 less the $400,000 in loan proceeds, results in intrinsic value of $800,000 for the beneficial conversion feature. However, the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the $400,000 proceeds of the debt. Due to the fact that there were not enough common shares available to facilitate the conversion of the debt into common stock on August 8, 2005, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded for this transaction.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company granted to IMAGIN a security interest in all of its assets to secure payment of the convertible promissory notes. The security interest is subordinate to the security interest previously granted in the same collateral to IMAGIN and Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Solaris”).

Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P.

Financing Agreements dated February 28, 2005

On February 28, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Solaris pursuant to which Solaris agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1,000,000 face amount of the Company’s 10% secured convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2005, Solaris has purchased $1,000,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on March 6, 2007. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series E Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2005, full convertibility of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent for amending its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price at the date of the agreement, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. On February 28, 2005, enough common shares were available to facilitate the conversion of substantially all of the debt into common stock. The fair value of the related Series E Preferred Stock at the commitment date of $2,200,000 less the $1,000,000 in loan proceeds, results in an intrinsic value of $1,200,000 for the beneficial conversion feature. However, the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the $1,000,000 proceeds of the debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company granted to Solaris a security interest in all of its assets to secure payment of the convertible promissory notes. The security interest is subordinate to the security interest previously granted in the same collateral to IMAGIN.

We have been advised by Solaris that it has since sold the $1,000,000 principal amount of these notes to IMAGIN.

Financing Agreements dated June 27, 2005

On June 27, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Solaris pursuant to which Solaris agreed to purchase an aggregate of $400,000 face amount of the Company’s 10% secured convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2005, Solaris has purchased $400,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on March 6, 2007. The notes are initially convertible into new shares of Series F Preferred Stock that, in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2005, full convertibility of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock into common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent for amending its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the event the conversion price is less than the Company’s stock price at the date of the agreement, the difference is considered to be a beneficial conversion feature and is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the stated maturity date. On June 27, 2005, enough common shares were available to facilitate the conversion of all of the debt into common stock. The fair value of the related Series F Preferred Stock at the commitment date of $1,600,000 less the $400,000 in loan proceeds, results in an intrinsic value of $1,200,000 for the beneficial conversion feature. However, the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the $400,000 proceeds of the debt.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the Company granted to Solaris a security interest in all of its assets to secure payment of the convertible promissory notes. The security interest is subordinate to the security interest previously granted in the same collateral to IMAGIN and Solaris.

Patrick G. Rooney, Chairman of the Board of the Company, is the managing director of the manager of Solaris.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders converted 45,900 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 199,243 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.

9.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each period and earnings adjusted for preferred stock dividend requirements. Diluted earnings per common share assume that any dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding at the beginning of each period were converted at those dates, with related interest, preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which market price exceeds exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. The convertible preferred stock and outstanding stock options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 since it would have resulted in an antidilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Stock Based Compensation

In connection with the May 2004 transaction with IMAGIN, the Company re-priced various options and warrants to employees that are subject to the variable accounting rules. The market price of the Company’s common stock decreased $0.04 from $0.12 at December 31, 2004 to $0.08 at September 30, 2005. Due to the decline in price, application of the variable accounting rules resulted in the reversal of stock based compensation by approximately $163,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Joint Venture with Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd.

On July 30, 2005, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Contract (the "JV Contract") with Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd. ("Neusoft") to form a jointly-owned company to be organized in the People's Republic of China to develop and manufacture PET and PET/CT systems. Governmental approval of the formation of the joint venture company has been obtained and Neusoft Positron Medical Systems Co., Ltd. (the " JV Company") was organized on September 6, 2005. The JV Company will receive its final authorization upon completion of its capitalization by the parties.

Pursuant to the JV Contract, Neusoft's capital contribution consists of $1,350,000 in cash and it will have a 67.5% interest in the JV Company. The Company's capital contribution consists of the transfer of an undivided interest in its PET technology valued at $400,000 and $250,000 in cash and it will have a 32.5% interest in the JV Company. As of October 31, 2005, substantially all of the technology had been transferred and the Company is in the process of funding its cash contribution. In addition, the Company has agreed to sublicense certain of its cardiac technology in consideration of a $250,000 royalty payment.

Subsequent Events

Amendment of Rights of Series C Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with IMAGIN, under which the Company agreed to amend the Statement of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock to provide each share of Series C Preferred Stock with 130 votes on all matters submitted to or requiring the vote of its shareholders. In consideration for the amendment of the Statement of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock, IMAGIN agreed to convert outstanding 10% secured convertible notes in the principal amount of $770,000 held by IMAGIN into shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

The Company entered into the agreement with IMAGIN to ensure approval of the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation which provides for a 100-to-1 reverse stock split and maintenance of the number of authorized shares of common stock at 100,000,000. IMAGIN has agreed to convert its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 385,000 shares of Common Stock following the reverse split. The Company attempted to receive shareholder approval of the amendment at a shareholders meeting held on August 24, 2005, but was unable to obtain enough votes to approve the proposal because of the large number of shares held by offshore investors and the difficulties encountered in communicating with and obtaining proxies from these investors in a timely and cost effective manner. The Company has no reason to believe that they oppose the proposal.

Financing Agreements dated October 31, 2005

On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into a series of agreements with IMAGIN pursuant to which IMAGIN agreed to purchase from the Company 10% convertible secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000. In addition, the Board approved the sale of an additional 10% convertible secured note in the principal amount of $25,000 to a private investor on the same terms. As of October 31, 2005, IMAGIN has purchased $200,000 of these notes. These notes are due and payable on October 31, 2008 and are convertible into an aggregate of 21,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Full convertibility of the notes into shares of common stock will require an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which must be approved by the shareholders. The Company has obtained consent for amending its Articles of Incorporation and is preparing to file the amendment.

Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by us to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, our examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result, or be achieved, or be accomplished.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

We experienced a loss of $855,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $203,000 for the same quarter in 2004. The larger loss in 2005 resulted from increases in costs related to personnel, legal fees and interest, offset by the reversal of expense related to stock based compensation. The loss in the third quarter of 2004 included profits from the sale of a system and system upgrades.

We generated no revenues from sales of systems in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,150,000 on the sale of one system in the third quarter of 2004. We earned revenues of $382,000 from upgrades of systems in the third quarter of 2004. Our service revenues decreased $51,000 to $175,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $226,000 in the same period in 2004. Service revenues in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 included the recognition of $50,000 in revenue relating to support provided to GE Medical Systems in conjunction with the sale of our Cardiac PET Software.

We generated gross profits of $44,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to profits of $450,000 for the same three months in 2004. We earned profits from the sale of a system and system upgrades in the third quarter of 2004. Revenues of $50,000 relating to services provided to GE Medical Systems were also included in gross profits in the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

Our operating expenses increased $24,000 to $615,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $591,000 for the same period in 2004. Research and development expenses decreased $49,000 to $92,000 from $141,000 as a result of a decrease in the use of consultants. Sales and marketing expenses also decreased $33,000 to $127,000 from $160,000 primarily as a result of decreased personnel costs. General and administrative expenses increased $167,000 to $457,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from $290,000 in the same period in 2004. This increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from increased legal fees and the recording of an obligation of 111,500 for severance pay in 2005. We reversed expense related to stock based compensation by $61,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 relating to the application of the variable accounting rules to the re-pricing of warrants and options.

We recognized interest expense of $284,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $62,000 of interest expense in the same period in 2004. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2005 relates to the notes payable to IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. and Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P. and includes $207,000 in amortization of loan costs, debt discounts and beneficial conversion features.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

We experienced a loss of $2,442,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a loss of $1,092,000 for the same period in 2004. The larger loss in 2005 resulted primarily from increases in costs related to personnel, legal fees and interest, offset by the reversal of expense related to stock based compensation. The loss in 2004 included profits from the sale of a system and system upgrades.

We generated no revenues from sales of systems in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,150,000 on the sale of one system in the same period of the prior year. We earned revenues of $37,000 from upgrades of systems in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $382,000 in revenues from system upgrades in the same period in 2004. Our service revenues decreased $180,000 to $525,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $705,000 in the same period in 2004. Service revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 included the recognition of $150,000 in revenue relating to support provided to GE Medical Systems in conjunction with the sale of our Cardiac PET Software.

We generated gross profits of $118,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $694,000 for the same period in 2004. We earned profits from the sale of a system and system upgrades in 2004. Revenues of $150,000 relating to services provided to GE Medical Systems were also included in gross profits in the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Our operating expenses increased $222,000 to $1,924,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $1,702,000 for the same period in 2004. Research and development expenses increased $110,000 to $352,000 from $242,000 as a result of increased personnel costs. Sales and marketing expenses also increased $325,000 to $570,000 from $245,000 primarily as a result of increased personnel costs. General and administrative expenses increased $300,000 to $1,165,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 from $865,000 in the same period in 2004. This increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from increased legal fees and the recording of an obligation of $111,500 for severance pay in 2005. We reversed expense related to stock based compensation by $163,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 related to the application of the variable accounting rules to the re-pricing of warrants and options. We recorded expense of $350,000 related to stock based compensation in the first nine months of 2004.

We recognized interest expense of $637,000 in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $84,000 of interest expense in the same period in 2004. Interest expense in the first nine months of 2005 relates to the notes payable to IMAGIN Diagnostic Centres, Inc. and Solaris Opportunity Fund, L.P. and includes $440,000 in amortization of loan costs, debt discounts and beneficial conversion features.

Financial Condition

We had cash and cash equivalents of $154,000 on September 30, 2005. On the same date, we had accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding of $1,599,000. We did not sell any imaging systems in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. In order to resolve our liquidity problems, we must sell imaging systems or seek alternative sources of debt or equity funding. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in selling new systems or securing additional debt or equity funds.

Since inception, we have been unable to sell our POSICAMTM systems in quantities sufficient to be operationally profitable. Consequently, we have sustained substantial losses. Due to the sizable selling prices of our systems and the limited number of systems sold or placed into service each year, revenues have fluctuated significantly from year to year. We have an accumulated deficit of $60,875,000 at September 30, 2005. The Company will need to increase system sales to achieve profitability in the future.

These events raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent public accountants, which accompanied our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, was qualified with respect to that risk. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing to meet our cash needs we may have to severely limit or cease our business activities or may seek protection from our creditors under the bankruptcy laws.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to the Annual Report Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 for disclosures regarding the Company’s treatment of new accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from POSICAMTM system contracts are recognized when all significant costs have been incurred and the system has been shipped to the customer. The Company also recognizes revenue on bill and hold transactions when the product is completed and is ready to be shipped and the risk of loss is transferred to the customer. In certain cases, at the customers’ request, the Company is storing the product for a brief period of time. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the contract. Service revenues are recognized upon performance of the services.


ITEM 3 -  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of September 30, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chairman of the Board concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable level. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


The Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met due to numerous factors, ranging from errors to conscious acts of an individual, or individuals acting together. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error and/or fraud may occur and not be detected.
