NOTE 3.  LOSS PER SHARE

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.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company completed the sale of all of the assets of its 90% owned
subsidiary, Poly-Optical Products, Inc. ("Poly") in an all cash transaction to
an independent privately held company.  The sale of Poly will result in a gain 
of approximately $700,000 which will be recorded in the second fiscal quarter.  
In the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, Poly had revenues of approximately 
$3 million and income from operations of $252,000.

                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.

Quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to quarter ended December 31, 1995.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased
3% from the same quarter of the previous year ($2,869,000 vs. $2,964,000).
For the current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from operations of
$1,006,000, compared to a loss of $918,000 for the year earlier period. The
net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, was $924,000, or $0.08 per
share, based on 10,895,117 weighted average number of shares outstanding, as
compared to a net loss of $886,000, or $0.09 per share, based on 9,472,301
weighted average number of shares outstanding, in the same quarter of the
previous year.

The Company believes that the 3% decline in revenue was due to continued
restrictions in hospital budgets for capital equipment which delayed some sales
anticipated during the December quarter. Holmium and YAG lasers sales decreased
$244,000 or 18% of capital equipment revenue. Service revenue increased by
$80,000 or 98% of service revenue. Sales of disposable orthopedic delivery
systems have increased in each successive quarter over the last five quarters,
and this growth is anticipated to continue. For the current quarter, orthopedic
probes increased $179,000 or 27%, compared to the year ago quarter.

Cost of goods sold was 56.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to 57.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease in cost
of goods sold as a percentage of revenues was due to the slightly higher margins
on delivery system sales which accounted for a larger portion of sales in the
current quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,574,000 for the
current quarter compared to $1,687,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
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 incurrence of approximately $200,000 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 December 31, 1996,
increased 43% ($686,000 vs. $481,000) 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 for the treatment of severe cardiac disease.

Interest income increased by 94% to $97,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $50,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to
higher amounts of cash available for investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital decreased from $13,919,000 at September 30, 1996
to $13,048,000 at December 31, 1996, of which $6,669,000 is cash and cash
equivalents, and marketable securities. 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.
