NOTE 3

The loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding.  Common stock equivalents including stock options and warrants
have not been considered in the calculation because they would be antidilutive.

NOTE 4

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  SFAS 109 is an
asset and liability approach which required the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts for financial statement purposes and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.

At March 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
and state income tax purposes totaling approximately $14,450,000 and
$10,550,000 respectively, which begin to expire in 2006.  The Tax Reform Act of
1986 includes provisions which may limit the net operating loss carryforwards
available for use in any given year if certain events occur, including
significant changes in ownership.  A net deferred tax asset has not been
created for such loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of future
realization.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                     OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of fiscal 1995 ended March 31, 1995, Trimedyne's 
net revenues decreased 12.5% from the same fiscal 1994 quarter ($3,206,000 vs. 
$3,666,000).  For the current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from 
operations of $1,249,000 compared to a loss from operations of $464,000 for 
the year earlier period.  The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, 
was $1,168,000 as compared to a net loss of $352,000 in the same quarter of 
the previous year.

The decrease in net revenues was due to a decline in shipments of Urolase 
right angle laser devices to C.R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard"), the exclusive,
worldwide distributor of this product.  Bard has a substantial inventory of
Urolase(R) Fibers.  While we expect Bard's inventory to decline as sales begin
to increase due to reimbursement and other factors as discussed below, no
substantial sales of this product to Bard are anticipated until our fourth
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 1995.  Overall urology product line
revenues for the current quarter declined by approximately $765,000, compared
to the year ago quarter. This decrease was largely offset by growth in our
orthopedic business, particularly domestically, and a 20% increase in revenues
by the Company's plastic optical fiber subsidiary.  Sales of disposable
orthopedic delivery systems increased in the current quarter and accounted for
16% of sales in the current quarter compared to 9% of sales in the March 1994
quarter.  Delivery System revenues generally increase proportional to the
number of lasers sold to date and currently in use, therefore as our installed
base of Holmium lasers increase, we expect revenues from delivery systems to
also increase.

While sales of Urolase devices were expected to contribute significantly to
sales in future quarters, sales of the Urolase catheter were and will be lower
than was earlier expected, because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
designated right angle laser devices as "investigational" in the treatment of
BPH, despite such devices having earlier been cleared by the FDA for general
urologic use.  The FDA's action caused Medicare reimbursement authorities in
many states to deny reimbursement for the use of such devices, resulting in a
decrease of Urolase device sales to hospitals by Bard in these areas.
Procedure codes for laser treatment of the prostate were published in the
Federal Register in December 1994, and fee schedules for laser treatment of the
prostate were recently established by the U.S. Government's Health Care
Financing Administration ("HCFA").  The status of reimbursement, however, will
continue to be determined on a state by state basis until the issuance of a
reimbursement guidance by HCFA, which is anticipated to occur in 1995.

Cost of goods sold was 63.7% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1995
compared to 49.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  This increase in cost
of goods sold as percentage of sales was primarily attributed to higher than 
average manufacturing, warranty and installation costs associated with the 
introduction of the higher-powered Holmium laser for use in orthopedics and 
lower overall revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to $1,680,000
for the current quarter compared to $1,644,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1994.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was 
primarily due to the marketing expenses related to the introduction of our new
OmniPulse-MAX(TM) 80 Watt Holmium Laser system, and expenses incurred in
connection with patent litigation.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
increased 8.2% ($734,000 vs. $678,000) due to the decrease in the reimbursement
by Bard of certain R&D costs incurred by the Company.  R&D spending in fiscal 
1995 is expected to increase slightly compared to fiscal 1994, as the Company 
expands its development efforts of Holmium and Neodymium YAG lasers and other 
products for use in urology and  orthopedics applications.

Net interest income decreased by 26.4% to $92,000 for the current quarter, 
compared with $125,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease 
was due to the lower overall level of balances held for investment offset by 
slightly higher interest rates earned.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company reported a net loss of
$1,168,000 or $.12 per share, based on 9,447,000 weighted average number of
shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $352,000 or $.04 per share,
based on 9,024,000 weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year
earlier quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital decreased from $14,829,000 at September 30, 1994
to $12,921,000 at March 31, 1995, of which $6,217,000 is cash and equivalents,
and marketable securities.  The Company's management believes that the current
level of cash and equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to
support its working capital requirements for at least the next two years.
