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, 2000 and 1999, 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.

NOTE 6 - Subsequent Events

In April, 2000 the Company raised approximately $2.1 million in a private
placement of 657,819 shares of the Company's Common Stock and 328,910 Warrants.
The Warrants are each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at a
price of $4.88 per share.

               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.  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, 2000 compared to quarter ended March 31, 1999.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased 27%
from the same quarter of the previous year ($1,515,000 vs. $2,069,000).  The
decrease in revenues is attributed to a delay in commencing sales and shipments
of the Company's new, lower cost 30 watt Junior(TM) Holmium laser.  Sales and
shipments of the new laser are expected to commence in July.  For the current
quarter, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $765,000 or
$0.07 per share compared to a loss from operations of $1,129,000 or $0.10 per
share for the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold was 42% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to 46% for the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  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, and
due to the liquidation of certain older laser models which had been previously
reserved for.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $913,000 for the
current quarter compared to $1,384,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, a
decrease of $471,000 or 34%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses is attributed to the continued implementation of cost containment
measures.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
decreased 19% ($798,000 vs. $983,000) due to the reduction in expenditures to
complete the development of Cardiodyne's Laser TMR and Injection System.

<PAGE>

Interest income decreased by 46% to $59,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $110,000 for the same period of the prior year, due to the decreased
balance of marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's working capital decreased from $10,357,000 at September 30, 1999
to $9,335,000 at March 31, 2000, of which $4,038,000 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 cut-back Cardiodyne's research and
development expenses as the project nears completion, 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.
