NOTE 1

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial

operations and of cash flows for the six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and

While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make

consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual

The Company received proceeds of $1,566,000, less costs of disposition of
$155,000 which includes a two year indemnification provision, and a minority
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 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 current quarter, the Company received $1,120,000 in net proceeds from
the sale of stock and the exercise of stock options representing a total of a
10% minority interest in the Company's subsidiary, Cardiodyne Inc. 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. The statements 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 consummated on January 31, 1997.

Quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to quarter ended March 31, 1996.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased 17%
from the same quarter of the previous year ($1,786,000 vs. $2,157,000). For the
current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of
$1,634,000, compared to a loss from operations of $1,059,000 for the year
earlier period. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, was
$1,920,000, or $0.18 per share, based on 10,897,427 weighted average number of
shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $980,000 or $0.10 per share,
based on 9,509,377 weighted average number of shares outstanding, in the same
quarter of the previous year.

The Company believes that the 17% decline in revenue was primarily due to the
continued restrictions in hospital budgets for capital equipment resulting in a
$530,000 or 50% 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 $140,000 or 21% compared to the same quarter a
year ago.

Cost of goods sold was 65% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to 62% for the second 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 $1,511,000 for the
current quarter compared to $1,522,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is attributed to the
decrease in legal expenses incurred in connection with patent litigation in the
current quarter compared to the year ago quarter. This decrease was partially
offset by the incurrance of approximately $157,000 in expenses, principally in
administrative costs in connection with the organization and start up costs
associated with the Company's new subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
increased 64% ($827,000 vs. $505,000) due to the increase in costs associated
with advanced development work on a new Erbium laser, the new cosmetic laser and
the new TMR laser being developed by our new subsidiary Cardiodyne, Inc., for
the treatment of severe cardiac disease.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Interest income decreased by 48% to $66,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $126,000 for the same period of the prior year. Included in the year ago
quarter was an adjustment to recognize realized gains on the sale of marketable
securities and interest earned in prior quarters which had not been previously
recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital decreased from $13,919,000 at September 30, 1996
to $12,781,000 at March 31, 1997, of which $7,511,000 is cash and equivalents,
and marketable securities. During the current quarter, the Company received net
proceeds of $1,120,000 from the sale of stock in Cardiodyne, Inc. and received
$1,397,000 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 two years.
