U.S. NEUROSURGICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Second Quarter 2002 Compared to Second Quarter 2001 and Six Months Ended June
30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

Results of Operations

Patient revenue decreased approximately 10% to $638,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 2002 from $705,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease was due to a decline in rate reimbursement from the centers. Patient
expenses decreased approximately 30% to $242,000 from $344,000 a year earlier.
The decrease was due to the completion of depreciation on our Kansas City gamma
knife. Selling, general and administrative expense "(S,G&A)" increased 19% to
$327,000 for the quarter as compared to $274,000 in the prior year. The increase
was due to higher insurance costs as well as increased salaries. Interest
expense decreased approximately 45% to $49,000 from $89,000 in the same period a
year earlier. The decrease was due to a reduction of our leases on the Gamma
Knife properties. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, income from continuing
operations was $14,000 as compared to breakeven for the same period a year
earlier.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002 revenue increased approximately 12%
to $1,384,000 from $1,236,000 in the same period a year earlier. The increase is
due to increased procedures at the NYU Center. Patient expenses decreased 32% to
$456,000 in 2002 from $671,000 in the same period in 2001. The decrease is the
same as explained above. S,G & A increased 9% to $663,000 as compared to
$606,000 in the same period a year earlier. The increase was due to an increase
in salaries and increased insurance costs. Interest expense decreased
approximately 35% to $99,000 from $153,000 in the same period a year ago. The
reason for the decrease was due to a reduction of our leases on the Gamma Knife
properties. Income from operations was $99,000 for the six months ended June 30,
as compared to a loss of $126,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2002 the Company had a working capital deficit of $733,000 as
compared to $677,000 at December 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30,
2002 were $129,000 as compared with $311,000 at December 31, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $358,000 as compared with
$244,000 for the same period, a year earlier. Depreciation and amortization was
$451,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $657,000 in the
prior year period. The decrease was due to the completion of depreciation on our
Kansas City gamma knife. There was an increase in accounts receivables of
$208,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to an increase of
$186,000 in the previous year. Payables and accrued expenses increased $56,000
in 2002 as compared to a decrease of $135,000 in 2001.


7


Net cash used in financing activities was $540,000 as compared to $368,000
for the same period in 2001. Notes payable decreased $100,000 in 2002. The
Company paid $432,000 towards its capital lease obligations as compared to
$414,000 in the same period in 2001.

The Company expects cash flow from operations and cash on hand to be
sufficient to finance the business for the next 12 months.
