NOTE 1

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's condensed consolidated
financial position as of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the results of
operations and of cash flows for the nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996.

While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2

The Company received proceeds of $1,566,000, less costs of disposition of

interest valued at $121,000, resulting in net proceeds of $1,290,000 for the
sale of the assets of Poly- Optical, Inc. Accordingly, the Company recorded a
loss of $276,000 on the sale of Poly-Optical, Inc. This loss represents the
difference between the net proceeds received and the carrying value of the net 
assets sold of $1,566,000.

NOTE 4

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.
Effective fiscal 1998, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("Statement No. 128"), - "Earnings per Share." Early adoption
is not available; however, the proforma effects may be disclosed by management.
Management is currently assessing the impact of Statement No. 128, if any.

NOTE 5

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company received $1,120,000 in net
proceeds from the sale of stock representing a total of a 10% minority interest
in the Company's subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. A total of 5% of the minority
interest was from stock sold in October, 1996 and paid for in January, 1997 to a
related party; and 5% of the minority interest was from stock sold to a third
party in February, 1997. The Company's balance sheet includes a liability which
reflects the equity interest held by the minority shareholders. This equity
interest includes a portion of the losses incurred by the subsidiary.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential
risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business
conditions, government regulations governing medical device approvals and
manufacturing practices, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's
business strategy, delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold,
availability of suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain
customers, changes in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction
of new products, fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and
other risks and uncertainties currently unknown to management.

Method of Presentation.

The statement of operations has been restated to reflect the sale of the assets
of Poly-Optical Products, Inc. ("Poly"), the Company's 90% owned subsidiary,
which were sold in an all cash transaction which was essentially consummated on
January 31, 1997.

Quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to quarter ended June 30, 1996.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased 6%
from the same quarter of the previous year ($2,464,000 vs. $2,619,000). For the
current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of
$1,669,000, compared to a loss from operations of $1,221,000 for the year
earlier period. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, was
$1,669,000, or $0.15 per share, based on 10,895,747 weighted average number of
shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $1,177,000 or $0.11 per share,
based on 10,365,291 weighted average number of shares outstanding, in the same
quarter of the previous year.

The Company believes that the 6% decline in revenue was primarily due to the
continued restrictions in hospital budgets for capital equipment resulting in a
$500,000 or 27% decline in laser sales compared to the year ago quarter. This
decline was offset in part by the increase in orthopedic delivery system sales
which increased by approximately $380,000 or 61% compared to the same quarter a
year ago.

Cost of goods sold was 70% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to 53% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues was due to a lower level of sales and a
proportionately higher level of fixed costs as a percentage of total costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,566,000 for the
current quarter compared to $1,961,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is attributed to the
decrease in legal expenses incurred in connection with patent litigation and a
decrease in payroll and commissions in the current quarter compared to the year
ago quarter. This decrease was partially offset by the incurrence of
approximately $240,000 in expenses, principally in administrative costs in
connection with the organization and start up costs associated with the
Company's subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
increased 78% ($984,000 vs. $552,000) due to the increase in costs associated
with advanced development work on a new cosmetic laser and the new TMR laser
system being developed by our subsidiary Cardiodyne, Inc., for the treatment of
severe cardiac disease.


                                        8

<PAGE>   9
Interest income increased by 31% to $97,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $74,000 for the same period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital decreased from $13,919,000 at September 30, 1996
to $10,853,000 at June 30, 1997, of which $6,465,000 is cash and equivalents,
and marketable securities. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company
received net proceeds of $1,120,000 from the sale of stock in Cardiodyne, Inc.
and received $1,566,000 from the sale of Poly. Cash was principally used to fund
the operating loss and to acquire facilities and equipment associated with the
start up of Cardiodyne, and other items as described on the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flow. The Company believes its current cash and cash
equivalents and other resources will be sufficient to meet its anticipated
operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

FDA Regulations

In May of this year, the Company received a letter from the FDA alleging two
omissions had been made in the operator's manual for two lasers manufactured
for research purposes by the Company. The Company responded and recently
received a letter from the FDA acknowledging that one of the two alleged
omissions was not an infraction of FDA requirements, and the other alleged
omission would be resolved by the Company's including further information in
future revisions of the operator's manual for the laser.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.        Legal Proceedings

               (a)     In early 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against
                       Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc. (SLT) charging
                       infringement of two U.S. Patents which are owned by the
                       Company, and one U.S. Patent which is owned jointly by
                       the Company and a co-inventor. The Court granted SLT's
                       motion for summary judgment that all three U.S. Patents
                       are not infringed by SLT's laser devices. The Company
                       believes that the Court's granting SLT's motions for
                       summary judgment is incorrect on two of the patents, and
                       the Company has, upon advice of its counsel, appealed the
                       court's decision in the SLT suit.

               (b)     The Company has been named as a defendant in an
                       employment dispute with a prior employee, which is not
                       expected to have a material financial effect.
