        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                               September 30, 1999

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HelpMate Robotics Inc. ("HelpMate", "HRI", or the "Company"), was incorporated
in May 1984. The Company is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and
sale of the Company's flagship product, the HelpMate(R) robotics courier system,
a trackless robotic courier used primarily in the healthcare industry to
transport materials. The Company derives revenue primarily from rentals and
sales of HelpMate robots. The Company also sells robotic components such as
LabMate, LightRanger and BiSight and performs research and development
contracts.

Historically, the Company has been dependent upon sources other than operations
to finance its working capital requirements. These sources include loans and/or
investments from stockholders and their affiliates, private placements of its
debt and equity securities.

The Company announced on October 15, 1999 that it has agreed to sell
substantially all of its assets to Pyxis Corporation, a subsidiary of Cardinal
Health, Inc. of Dublin, Ohio ("Pyxis"). In consideration for the sale, the
Company will receive $12.5 million in cash and Pyxis will assume certain of the
Company's liabilities. The cash purchase price is subject to certain closing and
post-closing adjustments including required payments to third parties. Moreover,
$1.25 million of the cash purchase price will be held in escrow for a period of
approximately two years and would be available to settle potential
indemnification claims.

Below is a pro forma balance sheet reflecting the transaction as if it had
closed as of September 30, 1999.

The closing of the transaction with Pyxis is subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders and to other customary closing conditions. The Company
anticipates that the transaction will close prior to the end of its fourth
quarter ending December 31, 1999. The Company also anticipates distributing a
substantial portion of the closing proceeds during the first quarter of the
fiscal year 2000.

If the sale to Pyxis closes, the Company's management intends to pursue a
business plan aimed at effecting a business combination with an operating

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

The Company develops, manufacturers and markets mobile robotic systems, which
are distinguished by their ability to navigate autonomously without the need for
fixed tracks or guide wires. The Company accomplishes this by employing state of
the art sensor technology, wireless radio and proprietary software to the
guidance of battery-powered vehicles of its own design. So equipped, these
autonomous vehicles can navigate from point to point, avoid stationary and
moving obstacles (including people), make almost instantaneous stops when
necessary, summon elevators to travel between floors, announce their arrival at
destinations, signal closed doors to open, and maintain communications with a
centrally located computer.

The Company also continues to sell, on a limited basis, components of its
autonomous mobile robotics technology to universities and other research
facilities, and has licensed some of its technologies for use in floor cleaning
and automated prescription filling applications. The Company also engages in
research and development contracts in the area of mobile robotics technology.

AGREEMENT WITH PYXIS

The Company announced on October 15, 1999 that it has agreed to sell
substantially all of its assets to Pyxis Corporation, a subsidiary of Cardinal
Health, Inc. of Dublin, Ohio ("Pyxis"). In consideration for the sale, the
Company will receive $12.5 million in cash and Pyxis will assume certain of the
Company's liabilities. The cash purchase price is subject to certain closing and
post-closing adjustments including required payments to third parties. Moreover,
$1.25 million of the cash purchase price will be held in escrow for a period of
approximately two years and would be available to settle potential
indemnification claims.

The closing of the transaction with Pyxis is subject to the approval of the
Company's shareholders and to other customary closing conditions. The Company
anticipates that the transaction will close prior to the end of its fourth
quarter ending December 31, 1999. The Company also anticipates distributing a
substantial portion of the closing proceeds during the first quarter of the
fiscal year 2000.

If the sale to Pyxis closes, the Company's management intends to pursue a
business plan aimed at effecting a business combination with an operating
business. Any such business combination would depend on the availability of
attractive candidates and the Company's ability to consummate such a business
combination. To date, the Company has not identified any such candidate. The
Company does not have any immediate plans to dissolve the Company if the sale of
substantially all of its assets to Pyxis closes and any such dissolution would
require the prior approval of the Company's shareholders.

The terms and conditions of the proposed sale to Pyxis are contained in the
Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.83 to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 15, 1999, and which is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The description of the terms
and conditions of the proposed sale to Pyxis and of the Asset Purchase Agreement
is qualified in its entirety by, and made subject to, the more complete
information set forth in that Exhibit.

In light of its agreement with Pyxis, the Company is not seeking any type of
financing or sale alternatives.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The remaining backlog at September 30, 1999 consists of approximately $150,000
of annual rental revenues, one half of which should become operational by year
end and the remainder in the first quarter of next year. At that point, the
Company expects to have 64 robots on rental in its US customer base, providing a
stream of on-going revenues.

As a result of the termination of the Otis Elevator Company ("Otis") agreement,
the Company has received seven robots from Otis during the first three quarters
of 1999 at a cost of $1 each. In addition, during the third and fourth quarters
of 1999, the Company has repurchased nine robots, which are currently rented to
hospitals, from HTLP for an aggregate of $81,000. Assuming these rentals
continue, the Company estimates that these robots would generate approximately
$100,000 in rental revenue in 1999. Also, the Company believes it has in
inventory most of the parts necessary to perform routine maintenance and repairs
on its rental robots in 1999.

Although the Company is operating at below a cash break-even level, management
believes that at the Company's current level of operations, it will have
sufficient cash to maintain operations through year end.

In October 1998, the Company announced an investigation to determine the extent
to which KPM Inc. ("KPM"), the Company's former payroll service, misappropriated
Company funds which KPM was required to pay to the IRS with respect to Company
employment taxes. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company was liable for
the payment of these unpaid taxes, as well as interest and penalties assessed,
if any. The Company had initially estimated these unpaid taxes to be
approximately $1,000,000 exclusive of interest and penalties.

The Company announced on August 26, 1999 that it reached a settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding claims by the IRS for unpaid
payroll taxes arising out of the apparent misappropriation of funds by KPM. The
Company paid $100,067, including interest, to the Internal Revenue Service in
full payment of the IRS claims. In addition, the Company agreed with the IRS to
forego the use of $2,710,432 of net operating loss carryforwards.

At December 31, 1998, the Company had estimated that it could settle the IRS
claims for approximately $150,000 and this amount was included as part of
accrued expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the 1998
financial statements. The estimate exceeds the agreed to payment by $50,000.
This excess amount was credited to selling, general and administrative expenses
in the Company's financial statements in the third quarter ended September 30,
1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Total revenue before research and development contracts decreased by $862,595 or
60% from the three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the three
month period ended September 30, 1999. Rental revenues decreased by $200,331 or
27%; sales revenues decreased by $662,264 or 97%.

Total revenues decreased by $635,644 or 21% from the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1999.
Rental revenues decreased by $370,675 or 17% and sales revenues decreased by
$264,969 or 34%.

Sales revenue in the three months ended September 30, 1999 included no robot
sales compared to four sales in 1998. The decrease in rental revenues for both
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 reflects the sale of three
rental robots in late 1998 and the sale of three robots in the first quarter of
1999, coupled with the net return of twelve robots during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The total rental fleet at September 30, 1999 stands at 60
units.

The Company also earned revenue from research and development contracts of
$45,268 and $271,183 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.
There were no research and development contracts in process in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues before research and development costs decreased by $426,988 or
54% from the three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the three
month period ended September 30, 1999. Cost of revenues decreased by $513,879 or
28% from the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. These changes in cost of revenue reflect the changes
in sales and rental revenue discussed above.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit decreased by 67% or $415,545 from the three months ended September
30, 1998 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. Gross profit
decreased by 9% or $101,703 from the nine months ended September 30, 1998
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross
profit percentage and dollars reflects no robot sales and reduced component
product sales during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and the fact that six
of the Company's rental units were returned during that quarter.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses decreased by $56,096 or 11% from
the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses decreased by
$235,858 or 15% from the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease reflects the Company's
ongoing efforts to reduce costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE, INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER INCOME

Interest expense decreased for both the three month and nine month periods
ending September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period ending September 30,
1998. The decrease reflects the reduction in financing obligations.

Vendor forgiveness of debt reflects the savings the Company realized when
certain vendors agreed to take less than the amount owed in 1998.




                                       12
<PAGE>






NET INCOME/LOSS

The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $259,173 compared
to net income of $115,763 for the three month periods ending September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively, and incurred a net loss from operations of $351,422 and
$456,169 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. These losses reflect the lower gross profit described above and
because the Company has not achieved the volume of sales and rentals of HelpMate
robots required to cover the overhead expenses associated with the
commercialization of its HelpMate systems. Although the decrease in staffing and
sales and marketing expenses have reduced losses in fiscal 1998 and the first
nine months of 1999, the Company anticipates that such losses will continue
until the volume of sales and rentals of HelpMate robots necessary to cover
overhead expenses is achieved. As noted above, the overall profitability and
cash flow of the Company is highly dependent upon its mix of robot rentals and
robot sales (i.e., more robot rentals than sales results in larger losses and a
quicker depletion of cash).

NET INCOME/LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
$.02 and for 1998 was $.00. Loss per share of common stock for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was $.03 and $.04, respectively. Basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed according to SFAS 128. It
is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Shares from the assumed
exercise of options and warrants granted by the Company have been included in
the computations of earnings per share for all periods unless their inclusion
would be antidilutive.

OTHER

For the foreseeable future, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends and
the Company anticipates retaining any earnings to fund its operations. See
discussion of proposed sale of substantially all the Company's assets as
discussed under the heading "Agreement with Pyxis."

INFLATION

The Company does not believe that the relatively moderate levels of inflation
which have been experienced in the Untied States has had or will have a
significant effect on its revenues or operations.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The Year 2000 issue affects computer and information technology ("IT") systems,
as well as non-IT systems which include embedded technology such as
micro-processors and micro-chips that have date sensitive programs that may not
properly recognize the year 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such
information could generate inaccurate date or cause a system to fail, resulting
in business interruption. The Company is currently implementing a plan to
provide measured assurances that its computer and IT-systems and non-IT systems,
including analytical instruments and equipment, and those of third parties which
have a material relationship with the Company are or will be compliant.

The Company has completed testing of the HelpMate robotic courier system, and
determined that all components of the system are year 2000 compliant. The system
components tested consist of the HelpMate robot, HelpMate Elevator Interface,
HelpMate Monitor, and the HelpMate Supervisor. All installed versions of
HelpMate system software have been verified as compliant, so no action will be
necessary in the field.



                                       13
<PAGE>





Inventory and assessment of internal IT and non-IT systems are now complete. All
critical IT systems are now compliant. The Company's network servers and all
server based software, all accounting related workstations and all accounting
software have been tested and necessary upgrades have been applied to insure Y2K
compliance of these systems. All other workstations and software have been
tested and the Company has completed the installation of all necessary patches
or upgrades. All applicable non-IT systems have been tested and confirmed as
compliant. The non-IT systems, which were tested, are the Company's telephone
and voice messaging system and perimeter security system. Finally, all
analytical instruments required for manufacture and repair of the HelpMate
system have been verified as being compliant as well.

In February of 1999, the Company sent Y2K compliance surveys to all of its
customers, key vendors and suppliers. In this survey the Company requested
status of compliance awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, and
implementation for internal systems and infrastructure and for their key
vendors. All of the Company's key vendors and suppliers have responded and all
are either currently compliant or will be fully compliant prior to December 31,
1999. Approximately fifty percent of the Company's customers responded to our
initial survey request. In May of 1999, the Company sent a second request to the
remaining customers and have received responses from all of them. All customers
who have responded expect to have all critical systems compliant prior to
December 31, 1999. The Company will continue to monitor the progress of our
customers whose critical systems are not yet compliant.

Although the Company has taken steps to address the year 2000 issue, there can
be no assurance that the failure of the Company and/or its material third
parties to timely attain year 2000 compliance or that the failures and/or the
impacts of broader compliance failures by telephone, mail, data transfer or
other utility or general service providers or government or private entities
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Further, based on the
information available, the Company cannot conclude that any failure of the
Company or third parties to achieve Year 2000 compliance will not adversely
effect the Company.
