                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 March 31, 1999, the results of operations for the three
and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and of cash flows for the
six month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

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 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

For all periods presented, the net earnings available to common shareholders and
the weighted average shares outstanding are the same for both basic and diluted
EPS, since the effects of the Company's and the Company's majority owned
subsidiary Cardiodyne's stock options would be antidilutive. Basic and diluted
EPS do not differ from earnings per share previously presented.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

On October 1, 1998, the Company adopted the disclosure standard, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 "Comprehensive Income". The Company's sole
component of Other Comprehensive Income is changes in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) - Securities Available for Sale. For the six months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, such changes were not material, and accordingly, not
presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 5 - OTHER INCOME

Other Income during the six months ended March 31, 1999 includes $6.5 million,
net of legal fees and costs, received in December 1998 in connection with the
settlement of the Company's lawsuit against C.R. Bard, Inc.

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

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 the ability to continue its current level of
operations beyond the next three months due to limited cash. Other risk factors
and uncertainties include 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its 90% owned subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. ("Cardiodyne").

Quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to quarter ended March 31, 1998.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, Trimedyne's net revenues increased 34%
from the same quarter of the previous year ($2,069,000 vs. $1,549,000). For the
current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of
$1,129,000 or $0.10 per share compared to a loss from operations of $1,888,000
or $0.17 per share for the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold was 46% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to 57% for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues was due to a decline in the ratio of
laser sales to sales of disposables, as compared to the year ago quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,348,000 for the
current quarter compared to $1,646,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, a
decrease of $262,000 or 16%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses is attributed to a reduction in legal expense and the implementation of
cost containment measures.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
decreased 6% ($983,000 vs. $1,047,000) due to the reduction in expenditures to
finalize the release of the new 30 watt OmniPulse Jr. Holmium laser.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Interest income increased by 144% to $110,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $45,000 for the same period of the prior year, due to the increased balance
of marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased from $6,627,000 at September 30, 1998 to
$11,855,000 at March 31, 1999, of which $7,694,000 is cash and equivalents and
marketable securities. Management believes its existing working capital, along
with revenues from operations, will be sufficient to meet Trimedyne's operating
needs and the needs of its 90% owned subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. for at least
the next twelve months. The Company has implemented cut-backs in Cardiodyne's
operating expenses and has also implemented cost reductions at Trimedyne. The
Company is seeking additional financing to continue development of Cardiodyne's
products and to support Trimedyne's operations, the success of which cannot be
assured.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

        On October 6, 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against C.R. Bard Inc.
claiming substantial damages for Bard's failure to perform its obligations as
Trimedyne's exclusive distributor under the Agreement and pay certain amounts
due under the Agreement. In December 1999, the Company settled its lawsuit
against Bard and received $6.5 million after legal costs and expenses.

        In early 1995, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against
Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc. (SLT). In April 1999, the Company settled its
lawsuit against SLT. The Company granted SLT a license to certain of its
patents, and SLT agreed to pay the Company a modest payment and royalties on any
future sales of products covered by the licensed patents.

        The Company is subject to various claims and actions which arise in the
ordinary course of business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and
it is possible that the resolution of the Company's existing and future
litigation may adversely affect the Company.
