ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------

On April 17, 1996, Gish Biomedical, Inc. ("Registrant"), pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of September 12, 1995 (the "Agreement"), between
Gish Biomedical, Inc. and Creative Medical Development, Inc., (CMD), completed
the purchase of certain assets utilized in connection with CMD's microprocessor
based ambulatory infusion pump, the EZ-Flow 480.  The acquisition of this multi-
therapy infusion pump expands the Registrant's operations into the home health
care market which complements the Registrant's line of intravenous catheters.

The assets acquired under the agreement consist of primarily of inventory,
property, equipment, contract rights, as well as intellectual property rights
utilized in CMD's ambulatory pump business. The purchase price consisted of
$600,000 in cash and 240,240 shares of Gish Biomedical's common stock valued at
the average closing price during the ten day period immediately preceding
September 13, 1995 of $8.33 or $2,000,000.  The purchase price was determined by
evaluating the market potential and existing customer base for CMD's pumps, the
proprietary nature of the pump design, as well as the market capitalization of
CMD as determined b the value of its common stock as traded on the over the
counter market.  The source of the cash was the Registrant's working capital.

In connection with the acquisition of the assets, the Registrant has entered
into a one year lease agreement for the production facilities owned by CMD and
has entered into one year employment agreements with four former employees of
CMD.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



The Shareholders and
   Board of Directors
Creative Medical Development, Inc.


          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Creative Medical Development, Inc. as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Creative Medical Development, Inc. at September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

          As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, on September 13,
1995, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its
operating assets and technology.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Business
    --------

    Creative Medical Development, Inc. (the "Company"), designs, develops,
    manufactures and markets proprietary ambulatory infusion therapy products
    for alternate site patient care. The Company was incorporated in the State
    of California on July 20, 1992, and reincorporated in the State of Delaware
    on June 1, 1993. At the time of reincorporation, the Company changed its
    year end from December 31 to September 30 to facilitate financial reporting.
 
    Principles of Consolidation
    ---------------------------

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
    and its majority-owned subsidiary, LBI. The Company acquired a 99% interest
    in LBI, a California partnership ("LBI") in 1993. LBI was organized to own
    and operate the building in which the Company's offices and manufacturing
    facilities are located. The Company accounted for the acquisition in a
    manner similar to the pooling-of-interest method due to the President's
    common control of both LBI and the Company. Accordingly, the rental
    activities of LBI have been included in the accompanying financial
    statements for all periods presented.

    Cash
    ----

    At September 30, 1994, the Company had cash on deposit with a financial
    institution which exceeded FDIC deposit insurance limits by $869,304.

    Inventories
    -----------

    Inventories, consisting primarily of parts, are stated at the lower of cost
    (first-in, first-out) or market. The cost of disposable products sent to
    customers for evaluation is expensed at the time of shipment. Sales revenue
    is not recognized for evaluation shipments.

    Property and Equipment
    ----------------------

    Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
    straight-line method over estimated useful lives which range from 2 to 40
    years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease
    term or their estimated useful lives.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Reclassifications
    -----------------
 
    Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to
    conform with the 1995 presentation.

    Other Assets
    ------------

    Debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the issuance of 10%
    convertible subordinated notes payable and were being amortized over the
    life of the related notes payable using the straight-line method. During the
    year ended September 30, 1994, the notes payable were converted to common
    stock (Note 6). In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
    capitalized debt issuance costs were reported as a reduction of additional
    paid-in capital at the time the 10% convertible notes were exchanged for
    common stock.

    Sales
    -----

    Sales are recognized upon shipment except when product is supplied for
    evaluation purposes. Provision is made for estimated doubtful accounts and
    customer returns based on experience and a review of specific accounts. The
    Company also provides for estimated normal warranty costs to repair or
    replace products at the time of sale.

    One of the Company's distributors accounted for 66 percent of the Company's
    sales for the year ended September 30, 1995. Another distributor accounted
    for 21 percent of the Company's sales for the year ended September 30, 1994.

    Net Loss Per Share
    ------------------

    Net loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
    outstanding shares excludes common stock equivalents, including stock
    warrants and options, because they are antidilutive.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Income Taxes
    ------------

    Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes". The Company adopted this new statement as a cumulative effect
    of a change in accounting principle with no restatement of prior periods. As
    discussed more fully in Note 9, the Company has established a full valuation
    allowance against the carryforward benefits which result from the
    implementation of SFAS No. 109. Therefore, there is no cumulative effect of
    this change on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

    Allocation of Interest Expense
    ------------------------------

    The Company has included all interest expense, except for interest expense
    relating to the building note payable, in their loss from discontinued
    operations. Interest expense included in loss from discontinued operations
    amounted to $17,550 and $485,833 as of September 1995 and 1994.

    Allocation of General and Administrative Expense
    ------------------------------------------------

    Substantially all general and administrative expenses have been included in
    the loss from discontinued operation. Subsequent to the sale of assets
    discussed in Note 11, the Company will engage only in the management of the
    building owned by the Company.

    Inventory balances at September 30, 1994 are as follows:

6.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    Issuance of Common Stock
    ------------------------

    In December, 1994, the Company issued 15,000 shares of common stock
    pursuant to an employment agreement with one of its officers (Note 7).
    Compensation expense of $30,000 was recognized in connection with the
    issuance of common stock.

    In May, 1995, the Company issued 76,000 shares of common stock to private
    parties resulting in net proceeds of $57,000.

    In June, 1995, the Company issued 2,600 shares of common stock to an
    employee pursuant to a compensation reduction agreement. Compensation
    expense of $1,300 was recognized in connection with the issuance of common
    stock.

    In October, 1993, the Company issued 128,075 shares of common stock and
    64,038 common stock purchase warrants pursuant to an option agreement with
    the Company's Selling Agent (Note 7). An option agreement was issued in
    connection with the placement of convertible subordinated notes payable and
    allowed the Selling Agent to purchase a 10 percent interest in the Company's
    outstanding common stock, warrants and options, for a purchase price of 10
    percent of the book value of the Company as of May 31, 1993 (which was
    determined to be nominal). The Selling Agent received 117,500 shares
    representing 10 percent of the shares outstanding after the private
    placement (1,057,500 shares were outstanding prior to the private
    placement). An additional 10,575 shares were issued as an over subscription
    allotment for a total 128,075 shares. The shares issued have been recorded
    at their fair market value of $1.00 per share and result in the
    capitalization of debt issuance cost of $128,075. In January, 1994, the
    Selling Agent agreed to gratuitously reconvey 14,038 of its warrants to the
    Company. The remaining 50,000 warrants are exercisable at $10.00 per share
    from April 1995 to April 2000.

6.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

    Issuance of Common Stock (Continued)
    ------------------------            

    In May, 1994, the Company issued 603,750 shares of common stock through an
    initial public stock offering resulting in net proceeds of $2,632,696. In
    connection with this offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase
    603,750 shares of common stock at $6.50 per share. The warrants expire three
    years from the date of the initial stock offering. These warrants may be
    redeemed by the Company upon 30 days written notice at $.01 per warrant any
    time after six months from the public offering date.

    In connection with the Company's initial stock offering in 1994 convertible
    subordinated notes payable were converted to 545,000 shares of common stock.

    Convertible Preferred Stock
    ---------------------------

    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation permits the Board of Directors to
    issue convertible preferred stock with such conversion rates, rights,
    privileges and preferences as the Board may determine. The convertible
    preferred stock is considered a common stock equivalent when the conversion
    rights are vested in the holder.

    In December, 1994, the Company issued 60,000 shares of $.01 par convertible
    preferred stock pursuant to an employment agreement with one of its officers
    (Note 7). Management has determined that the market value of the convertible
    preferred stock approximated the par value of those shares. The preferred
    stock is convertible into an equal number of common shares upon the
    completion of certain revenue objectives set for the Company.

    In January, 1994, the Company's President exchanged 415,445 shares of common
    stock for 750,000 shares of $.01 par value, convertible preferred stock for
    no additional consideration. The preferred stock is convertible into an
    equal number of common shares upon the completion of certain revenue
    objectives set for the Company.

    Warrants
    --------

    On June 1, 1993, the Company issued 525,000 Class A warrants to officers and
    shareholders. The warrants entitle holders to purchase one share of common
    stock at $5.00 per share. The warrants become exercisable beginning 90 days
    after the effective date of an initial public offering and for a period of
    48 months thereafter.

    Warrants (Continued)
    --------            

    The warrants are not redeemable by the Company. In January, 1994, holders of
    525,000 Class A warrants agreed to reconvey all such warrants to the Company
    as part of the capital structuring pursuant to a proposed common stock
    offering.

    Between February 28, 1995 and May 2, 1995, the Company executed $200,000 of
    short-term notes payable. As additional consideration for the loans, the
    Company issued warrants for the purchase of 100,000 shares of Common stock.
    The warrants are exercisable until March 1, 1998 at $.35 per share. The
    market value was estimated at or below the strike price and accordingly no
    interest expense or additional paid in capital was recorded.

    In May, 1995, warrants for the purchase of 20,000 shares of Common stock
    were issued for services rendered. 10,000 shares were exercisable at $1.50
    per share and 10,000 were exercisable at $.75 per share. The difference
    between the exercise price and the stock's fair market value, $7,500, was
    recognized as an operating expense for the year ended September 30, 1995.
    Additional paid-in-capital was increased by a corresponding amount to
    reflect the issuance of the warrants. The warrants expire on May 31, 1998.

    In June 1995, as consideration for restructuring a loan in default, warrants
    for the purchase of 46,250 shares of common stock were issued with an
    exercise price of $.35. Market value of the shares was estimated to be at or
    below the exercise price and accordingly no interest expense or additional
    paid in capital was recorded.

    In January and March 1994, the Company borrowed $300,000 and $100,000,
    respectively, under promissory notes bearing interest at 8 percent annually.
    The notes were due within 15 months or on the close of the proposed initial
    public stock offering. As additional consideration for the loans, the
    Company issued common stock warrants permitting investors to purchase 80,000
    shares of common stock at $2.50 per share. The difference between the
    warrant's exercise price and the stock's fair market value at the time of
    the initial stock offering, $200,000, was recognized as an operating expense
    for the year ended September 30, 1994. Additional paid-in capital was
    increased by a corresponding amount to reflect the issuance of the warrants
    which expire in January 1997. These notes were retired with a portion of the
    proceeds of the Company's initial stock offering.

    Warrants (Continued)
    --------            

    In May 1994, the Company issued warrants to the Company's underwriter. The
    warrants entitle the holder to purchase up to 52,500 units for $6.05 per
    unit. The warrants are exercisable any time during the four year period
    commencing one year from the date of the Company's initial public offering.

    During the year ended September 30, 1994, warrants to purchase 20,000 shares
    of common stock for $5.00 a share were issued. The warrants expire in
    January 1997. Additionally, warrants to purchase 20,000 common shares at
    $2.50 per share were issued for services. The difference between the
    warrant's exercise price and the stock's fair market value, $50,000, was
    recognized as an operating expense for the year ended September 30, 1994.
    Additional paid-in-capital was increased by a corresponding amount to
    reflect the issuance of the warrants. The warrants expire in May 1997.

    Stock Option Plan
    -----------------

    In January 1994, the Company adopted an employee stock option plan which
    provides for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options. The
    Company has reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the
    Plan. The Plan requires that the exercise price be equal to or exceed the
    fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. In 1994,
    the Company granted 80,000 options to officers and directors at $5.00 per
    share. The options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration
    date, January 1, 1999. No options were issued or exercised in 1995.

7.  COMMITMENTS

    Obligations to Selling Agent
    ----------------------------

    In exchange for investment banking services, the Company entered into an
    exclusive five-year agreement, ending June 1998, with a selling agent. Under
    the agreement, the Selling Agent is entitled to a consulting fee of $2,000
    per month. The selling agent is entitled to a fee ranging from 2 to 10
    percent of the funds received by the Company pursuant to borrowing
    agreements, joint ventures, mergers, sales or acquisitions with parties
    introduced by the Selling Agent. The selling agent also received a five-year
    option to purchase 10 percent of the outstanding common stock, warrants and
    options of the Company at a purchase price equal to 10 percent of the net
    book value of the Company as of May 31, 1993, the Company has also agreed to
    provide the selling agent with one seat on the Board of Directors.

    Obligations to Selling Agent (Continued)
    ----------------------------            

    In September 1995, the Selling Agent agreed to terminate his rights and
    obligation under the agreement.

    Compensation Agreements
    -----------------------

    The Company has entered into a five-year employment agreement with the
    President of the Company. The agreement expires in July 1997. In addition to
    annual compensation, the agreement provides for additional incentive
    compensation equal to one percent of net revenues.

    Effective October 1, 1994, the Company entered into an employment agreement
    with one of its officers, which extends through September 30, 1996. In
    addition to annual compensation, this agreement provided for the issuance of
    15,000 shares of common stock and 60,000 shares of convertible preferred
    stock (Note 6).

8.  CONTINGENCIES

    A claim has been asserted against the Company for $250,000 as a penalty for
    not proceeding with a sale of assets pursuant to a letter of intent dated
    August, 1995. The Company believes it is entitled to damages from the other
    party in an as yet undetermined amount. Management intends to vigorously
    contest this claim. The outcome of this matter cannot be reasonably
    determined at this time.

9.  INCOME TAXES

    Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes". The Company adopted this new statement as the cumulative
    effect of a change in accounting principle with no restatement of prior
    periods. However, as discussed more fully below, the Company has established
    a full valuation allowance against the tax effects of net operating loss
    benefits. Therefore, there is no cumulative effect of this change on the
    Consolidated Statement of Operations.

9.  INCOME TAXES (Continued)

    Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between
    the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of those
    assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income
    taxes also reflect the value of net operating losses and an offsetting
    valuation allowance. The Company's total deferred tax assets and
    corresponding valuation allowance at September 30, 1995 and 1994, consisted
    of the following:

    the applicable statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

    The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of $3,500,000 and
    $1,700,000 to offset federal and state income taxes, respectively. The
    carryforwards expire primarily in 2009 and 2010.

    SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded against tax
    assets which are not likely to be realized. Specifically, the Company's
    carryforwards expire at specific future dates and utilization of certain
    carryforwards is limited to specific amounts each year. However, due to the
    uncertain nature of their ultimate realization based upon past performance,
    the Company has established a full valuation allowance against these
    carryforward benefits and will recognize the benefits only as reassessment
    demonstrates they are realizable. Realization is entirely dependent upon
    future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. While the need for this
    valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the allowance is
    reduced, the tax benefits of the carryforwards will be recorded in future
    operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

9.  INCOME TAXES (Continued)

    In the event the sale of assets discussed in Note 11 occurs, net operating
    loss carryforwards may be used to offset the resulting tax liability.
    However, significant uncertainties about the Company's ability to complete
    the transaction within the contractually agreed upon time frame, and
    uncertainties associated with obtaining stockholder and regulatory approval,
    preclude full recognition of the deferred tax asset.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the Company issued 28,406 shares of common
    stock pursuant to compensation reduction agreements. Compensation expense of
    $14,203 was recognized in connection with the issuance of common stock.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    On September 13, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Gish
    Biomedical, Inc. (Gish) to sell substantially all of its operating assets
    and technology for $600,000 in cash and shares of Gish common stock valued
    at $2,000,000. Upon closing, the Company will enter into a one-year lease
    with Gish for the portion of the building which the Company currently
    occupies.

    Net assets of discontinued operations consist of the following:

</TABLE>

    Under terms of the agreement, from September 13, 1995 through the closing
    date, the Company's manufacturing operations will be operated for the
    benefit of Gish. Accordingly, net losses related to sales of approximately
    $24,000 and operating expenses of approximately $59,000 occurring from
    September 13 through September 30, 1995 have been offset against operating
    advances to the Company by Gish.

    At September 30, 1995, the Company owed Gish $600,000 in the form of a
    secured note (Note 5). In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the
    Company retired $250,000 of notes payable, $150,000 of delinquent payroll
    tax deposits, and paid current payroll and vendor payables with the proceeds
    of the $600,000 note. The notes retired matured on September 1, 1995.

    Cash, accounts receivable and the building housing the Company's operations
    and land with a net book value of $1,912,885 have been excluded from the
    sale. The agreement does not provide for the assumption of any of the
    Company's liabilities by Gish.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)  INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Creative
     Medical Development, Inc. have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations. In the opinion of Management, the consolidated financial
     statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the
     consolidated financial statements not misleading. Results for the period
     ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
     may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. For further
     information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
     thereto, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, included in the
     Company's Form 10-KSB.


(2)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     On September 13, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Gish
     Biomedical, Inc. (Gish) to sell substantially all of its operating assets
     and technology for $600,000 cash and shares of Gish common stock valued at
     $2,000,000 (240,240 shares). Upon closing, the Company will enter into a
     one year lease with Gish for the portion of the building which the Company
     currently occupies.

     Under terms of the agreement, from September 13, 1995, through the closing
     date, the Company's manufacturing operations will be operated for the
     benefit of Gish. Accordingly, net losses related to sales of approximately
     $219,310 and expenses of approximately $418,390 have been offset against
     operating advances to the Company by Gish.

     Cash, accounts receivable and the building housing the Company's operations
     and land with a net book value of $1,912,885 have been excluded from the
     sale. The agreement does not provide for the assumption of any of the
     Company's liabilities by Gish.

                      Analysis of Financial Condition and
                             Results of Operations

            Results of Operations -- Quarter Ended December 31, 1995
               Compared with the Quarter Ended December 31, 1994


  From its founding in July, 1992, through completion of the Initial Public
Offering (IPO), May 13, 1994, the Company's operations have been funded
primarily by equity capital and debt financing provided by principal
shareholders and private investors.  During the Company's development stage and
through the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, losses were
incurred as costs of designing, developing, testing, producing and marketing the
Company's initial products and administrative overhead exceeded revenues
generated from product sales.

  Although sales of the Company's products improved substantially from fiscal
year 1994 to 1995, and the Company instituted stringent cost controls, it was
unable to achieve profitability or meet the Company's operating cash
requirements.  The Company had insufficient working capital to continue to fund
the operating losses.

  On September 13, 1995, the Company entered into an  Asset Purchase Agreement
with Gish Biomedical, Inc. ("Gish").  Under its terms, substantially all of the
Company's manufacturing related assets (with a net book value of $680,957) are
to be sold for $600,000 cash and $2,000,000 of Gish Stock (240,240 shares).  A
special meeting of  stockholders is scheduled for February 21, 1996, at 10:00
a.m., at the corporate offices to approve the transaction.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

  From September 13, 1995 to the Closing, the Company's manufacturing business
is being operated for the benefit of and at the risk of Gish.  Accordingly, the
operation of the manufacturing business through December 31, 1995, has been
accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of operations have
been netted against operating funds advanced Gish.

  Rental operations of the real estate are segregated from the discontinued
operations. Because of intra-company rental payments and the pre-payment of rent
by one tenant which was taken as income in the quarter ended September 30, 1995,
there was a loss of $18,912  in the quarter ended December 31, 1995, compared to
a loss of $7,607 for the same quarter in 1994.

  Effective at the Closing, the Company's principal remaining assets will be
real property and the Gish common stock. Management is exploring alternative
opportunities for future operation or sale of the Company  Pending a
determination as to the future direction of the Company, no full time employees
are anticipated and the only business activities necessary will be management of
the real estate and accounting, corporate governance and compliance matters.

                                       6

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

  Cash on hand and in money market investments at December 31, 1995 was
$(57,175).

  Because the net asset value of the Company did not meet the NASDAQ maintenance
criteria, the NASDAQ listing committee de-listed the Company's stock effective
May 11, 1995.  The Company's stock is now traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

  Assuming completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement, depending on the time
required to effect a sale of the real estate and/or determine the future
direction of the Company, there may be some operating cash requirements which
will necessitate borrowing or sale of assets. However, there can be no assurance
that such borrowing or sale of assets will be available to the Company.

  As a result of significant and continuing negative cash flow, the Company has
reduced personnel costs by layoffs, schedule reductions and temporary salary
reductions.  The lack of operating capital and negative cash flows significantly
impaired the Company's ability to operate and meet pending orders for its
products.  In the absence of completing the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Company will be required to further substantially reduce or even terminate its
operations.

- ------------        

          4.2  ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING.  Seller is a corporation duly

authority, and all licenses and other permits, required to operate the Business

proceedings or transactions have been commenced or undertaken by the Seller

debts, obligations, liabilities or commitments of any nature, whether due or to
become due, absolute, contingent or otherwise, that, in accordance with GAAP,
are required to be disclosed in a balance sheet or the footnotes thereto, and
are not shown on the June 30, 1995 balance sheet delivered pursuant hereto,
other than liabilities incurred after June 30, 1995 in the ordinary course of

forth on Schedule 4.3B and is included in the Assumed Obligations, the Seller
         -------------

                                                                   ------------

operate the Business substantially in the same manner as it has been conducted
by Seller since June 30, 1995.

          (b) TANGIBLE ASSETS.  Schedule 1.1(b) is a list of all of the Tangible
                                ---------------                                 
Assets owned by Seller used in the Business, other than any Tangible Asset the
replacement cost of which would be less than $500 and which is not of material
importance to Seller's operations.  To the best knowledge of the Seller after

the only material intangible property used by Seller in the Business, and, to
the best of the Seller's knowledge after due inquiry, from and after the Closing
Date, Buyer shall have the right to use all of the Intangible Property Rights in
the Business consistent with Seller's use of the Intangible Property Rights in
the Business.  To the best of the Seller's knowledge after due inquiry, Seller
owns, or holds adequate licenses, or other rights to use, all of the Intangible
Property Rights and, to the best of the Seller's knowledge after due inquiry,
such use does not conflict with, infringe on or otherwise violate any rights of

                                                    ---------------             
licenses and rights are transferable to Buyer without cost or liability to Buyer
(other than the Purchase Price) and will be included in the Purchased Assets
being sold to Buyer hereunder.  Except as set forth in Part B of Schedule
                                                                 --------
4.5(c), Seller has not granted, transferred or assigned any right, license or
- ------
interest in any of its Intangible Property Rights.  To the best of the Seller's
knowledge after due inquiry, in no instance has the eligibility of any copyright
to any material property included in the Intangible Property Rights been
forfeited to the public domain by omission of any required notice or any other
action. All personnel, including employees, agents, consultants and contractors,
who have contributed

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
to or participated in the conception and development of any of the Intangible
Property Rights on behalf of Seller either (i) in the case of any copyright,
have been party to a "work-for-hire" arrangement or agreement with Seller, in
accordance with applicable federal and state law, that has accorded Seller full,
effective, exclusive and original ownership of all United States copyrights
thereby arising or (ii) have executed appropriate instruments of assignment in
favor of Seller as assignee that convey to Seller full, effective and exclusive
ownership of all Intangible Property Rights thereby arising. Except as set forth
in Part C of Schedule 4.5(c), Seller has not received notice of any 
             ---------------
infringement, and to the best of the Seller's knowledge after due inquiry,
Seller has not infringed and is not now infringing, on any patent, trade name,
trademark, service mark, copyright, trade secret, trade dress, design,
invention, technology, know-how, process or other proprietary right belonging to
any other person, firm or corporation, which infringement would have an adverse
effect on any of the Purchased Assets or the Business. To the best of Seller's
knowledge after due inquiry, there is no infringement by any other person of any
Intangible Property Right.

          (d) LEASES.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5(d) Seller does not
                                              ---------------                
have a fee interest in any real property.  Schedule 1.1(a) is a list and brief
                                           ---------------                    
description of each of the facilities or real properties leased by Seller and
used in the Business.  The description sets forth, among other things, the
address of each facility or real property leased and the name and address of the
landlord.  Schedule 1.1(c) also contains a list of all leases under which Seller
           ---------------                                                      
possesses or uses personal property in connection with the conduct or operation
of the Business.  The personal property leases set forth in Schedule 1.1(c) are
                                                            ---------------    
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Personal Property Leases."  True,
correct and complete copies of the Real Property Leases and Personal Property
Leases (collectively, the "Leases") have been delivered to Buyer.  All of the
facilities covered by the Real Property Leases are equipped in substantial
conformity with laws and governmental regulations applicable to Seller or the
Business.  The zoning of each parcel of real property, the lease for which is to
be assigned by Seller to Buyer, permits the presently existing improvements
thereon and continuation of the business presently conducted thereon and no
changes therein are pending or are threatened.  Subject to any consents required
therefor, the assignment of any of the Leases shall not adversely affect Buyer's
quiet enjoyment and use, without disturbance, of all real and personal
properties and assets that are the subject of such Leases.  To the best of the
Seller's knowledge after due inquiry, no condemnation or similar proceedings are
pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller after due inquiry, threatened
against any of the real properties described on Schedule 1.1(a).  Upon review of
                                                ---------------

provisions which, after the Closing Date, would (i) hinder or prevent Buyer from
continuing to use any of the properties or assets which are the subject of the
Leases in the manner in which they are currently used or (ii) impose any
additional costs (other than scheduled rental increases) or burdensome
requirements as a condition to their continued use which are not currently in
effect.  Except for the Leases, none of the Purchased Assets are held under, or
used by Seller in connection with the Business pursuant to, any lease or
conditional sales contract.

          (e) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5(e),
                                                           --------------- 
Seller does not own or have any rights in any accounts or notes receivable
relating to the sale of Seller's products or the provision of services by
Seller.

          (f) INVENTORIES.  All the Inventory is of a quality and quantity
usable and saleable in the ordinary course of business, except for obsolete
items, damaged items, and materials at below standard quality, all of which have
been written off or written down to net realizable value

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
so that, to Seller's best knowledge, the aggregate dollar amount of Seller's
Inventory and any additional costs to complete and dispose of such Inventory as
finished products will not exceed the selling price of such finished products.
Since June 30, 1995, no Inventory has been sold or disposed of except through
sales in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.  All
work-in-process inventory is either dedicated to firm orders or finished goods
produced for stock and saleable in the ordinary course.

(5) years; (ii) Seller is in compliance with all material applicable laws
respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours; and (iii) there is no unfair labor practice

inquiry, is there any factual basis for any such complaint.

          (c) Schedule 4.7 hereto also contains a complete list of Seller's
              ------------                                                 
Employee Plans.  True, correct and complete copies or descriptions of such
Employee Plans have been delivered to Buyer.  For purposes of this Section 4.7,
the term "Employee Plan" includes all present (including those terminated or
transferred within the past five (5) years) plans, programs, agreements,
arrangements, and methods of contribution or compensation (including all
amendments to and components of the same, such as a trust with respect to a
plan) providing any remuneration or benefits, other than current cash
compensation, to any current or former employee of Seller or to any other person
who provides services to Seller, whether or not such plan or plans, programs,
agreements, arrangements, and methods of contribution or compensation are
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and whether or not such plan or plans, programs, agreements,
arrangements and methods of contribution or compensation are qualified under the
Code.  The term Employee Plan includes, but is not limited to, pension,
retirement, profit sharing, stock option, stock bonus, and nonqualified deferred
compensation plans and includes any Employee Plan that is a multiemployer plan
as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.  The term Employee Plan also includes, but
is not limited to, disability, medical, dental, health insurance, life
insurance, incentive plans, vacation benefits, and fringe benefits.  Any and all
tax returns, reports, forms or other documents required to be filed by Seller
under applicable federal, state or local law with respect to the Employee Plans
set forth on Schedule 4.7 have been timely filed and are correct and complete in
             ------------                                                       
all respects; and any and all amounts due by Seller to any governmental agency
or entity with respect to the Employee Plans have been timely and fully paid.

          (d) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7, all Employee Plans are now,
                                     ------------                             
and have always been, established, maintained and operated in accordance with
all applicable laws (including, but not limited to, ERISA and the Code) and all
regulations and interpretations thereunder and in accordance with their plan
documents.  All communications with respect to each Employee Plan by any person
(including, but not limited, to the members of any plan committee, all plan
fiduciaries, plan administrators, Seller and its management, and Seller's
employees) accurately reflect the documents and operations of each such Employee
Plan.  Each funded Employee Plan providing for payment of deferred compensation
is and always has been qualified under Section 401 of the Code.  The Internal
Revenue Service has issued one or more determination letters with respect to
each funded Employee Plan stating that, from the inception of each such Employee
Plan, such Employee Plan has been and is qualified under Section 401 of the Code
and each trust maintained in connection with each such Employee Plan has been
and is exempt under Section 501 of the Code.  Except as set forth in Schedule
                                                                     --------

Employee Plan, and all contributions required to be made to or with respect to
each Employee Plan have been completely and timely paid. All reports, forms and
other documents required to be filed with any governmental entity with respect
to any Employee Plan have been timely filed and, to the best knowledge of the
Seller after due inquiry, are accurate. There have been no filings with respect
to any Employee Plan with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). No
liability to the PBGC has been incurred or is expected with respect to any
Employee Plan except for insurance premiums, and all insurance premiums incurred
or accrued up to and including the Closing Date have been or will be timely paid
by Seller. No amount is, and as of the Closing Date no amount will be, due or
owing from Seller to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of
ERISA) on account of any withdrawal therefrom. There has been no event or
condition, nor is any event or condition expected, that would present a risk of
termination of any Employee Plan, or which would constitute a "reportable event"
within the meaning of Section 404(3) of ERISA and the regulations and
interpretations thereunder. There has been no merger, consolidation, or transfer
of assets or liabilities (including, but not limited to, a split-up or split-
off) with respect to any Employee Plan. There is and there has been no actual
or, to the best knowledge of the Seller after due inquiry, anticipated,
threatened or expected litigation or arbitration concerning or involving any
Employee Plan. No complaints to or by any governmental entity have been filed
or, to the best knowledge of the Seller after due inquiry, have been threatened
or are expected with respect to any Employee Plan. No Employee Plan or any other
person has any liability to any plan participant, beneficiary or other person
under any provision of ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law by reason of
any action or failure to act in connection with any Employee Plan. There has
been no prohibited transaction as described in Section 406 of ERISA and Section
4975 of the Code with respect to any Employee Plan. No Employee Plan provides
medical benefits to one or more former employees (including retirees), other
than benefits required to be provided under Section 4980B of the Code. There is
no contract, agreement or benefit arrangement covering any employee of Seller
which individually or collectively would constitute an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the Code.

          4.8  CONFLICTS.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, neither the

          4.14  ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS.  To Seller's best knowledge,
and except as set forth in Schedule 4.14, Seller has complied with, and the
                           -------------

effect that it is or may be liable to any governmental authority or private
party as a result of the release or threatened release of any toxic or hazardous
substances in connection with the Business or any of the Purchased Assets, and
none of the operations of the Business is the subject of any federal, state or

the Business.  The Seller has not disposed, or had disposed of on its behalf,

operating in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, is not currently
listed, or threatened to be listed, on any state or federal "superfund" list and
there is no proceeding, inquiry or investigation, formal or informal, with
respect to any release or threatened release of any toxic or hazardous
substances at any such site.  For the purposes of this

environment, including, but not limited to, (i) any material, waste or substance

Agreement by Buyer or Seller or by both Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section

whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the party
furnishing the same;

          (b) The confidentiality of all information of a confidential nature

<PAGE>
 
burdens of the Interim Operations as between Buyer and Seller and the amounts,

          (a) The Seller hereby agrees that it will, indemnify, hold harmless
and defend Buyer and its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents
and successors and assigns from and against, or in connection with, any and all
Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) that arise from or are in connection with:
(i) a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of the
Seller contained in this Agreement; (ii) any breach or default by the Seller of
any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; (iii) any legal
actions or proceedings that have arisen or may hereafter arise out of the
business or operations of Seller, whether before or after the Closing,
including, without limitation, any of the pending or threatened legal actions
described in Schedule 4.12 hereto; and (iv) the existence prior to the Closing
             -------------                                                    
Date of any toxic or hazardous substances (as defined in Section 4.14) upon,
about or beneath any of the real properties used, operated, leased or owned by
Seller at any time or migrating or threatening to migrate from any of such
properties, or the existence of a violation of any Environmental Laws pertaining
to such properties, regardless of whether the existence of such toxic or
hazardous substances or the violation of the Environmental Laws arose prior to
the present use, operation, leasing or ownership of such properties by Seller
and regardless of whether the existence of such toxic or hazardous substances or
the violation of the Environmental Laws is disclosed in this Agreement or any
Schedules hereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
the liability of the Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject
to the limitation that the Seller shall not be liable for indemnity under this
Section 13 until the aggregate amount of Liabilities exceeds the sum of $10,000
(the "threshold amount"), whereupon the Seller shall become liable to indemnify
Buyer hereunder for all Liabilities, including such $10,000, up to, but not to
exceed, a cumulative aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price.  Any
liability of the Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 13(a) may be satisfied
by the Seller by transferring to Buyer, for cancellation, any of the Shares with
a value, as reported by Nasdaq, equal to the amount of the applicable Liability.
"Liabilities," as used in this Agreement, shall mean:  (Y) demands, claims,
actions, suits, and legal or other proceedings brought against any "Indemnified
Party" (as hereinafter defined), and any judgments rendered therein or
settlements thereof, and (Z) all liabilities, damages, losses, taxes, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
any Indemnified Party, whether or not they have arisen from or were incurred in
or as a result of any demand, claim, action, suit, assessment or other
proceeding or any settlement or judgment, and whether sustained before or after
the Closing Date.

          (b) Buyer hereby agrees that it will indemnify, hold harmless and
defend Seller and its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents and
successors and assigns from and against any and all Liabilities that arise from
or are in connection with:  (i) a breach of or inaccuracy 

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
in any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this
Agreement; (ii) any breach or default by Buyer of any of its covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement; and (iii) any legal actions or
proceedings that relate to Buyer's conduct of the Business after the date
hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the liability
of Buyer to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the
limitation that Buyer shall not be liable for indemnity under this Section 13
until the aggregate amount of Liabilities exceeds the sum of $10,000 (the
"threshold amount"), whereupon Buyer shall become liable to indemnify Seller
hereunder for all Liabilities, including such $10,000, up to, but not to exceed,
a cumulative aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price.

          (c) To be effective, any claim for indemnification under this Section
13 by a party or parties entitled to indemnification (the "Indemnified Party")
must be made by a written notice (a "Notice of Claim") to the indemnifying party
(the "Indemnifying Party"), given in accordance with the provisions of Section
16 hereof, accompanied by documentation supporting the claim.  In the event of
the assertion, in writing, of a third-party claim or dispute which, if adversely
determined would entitle an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in
writing (and failure to so notify shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such failure materially
prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's rights or defenses).  The Indemnifying Party
may elect, by written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume and direct, at
its sole expense, the defense of any such third-party claim, and may, at their
sole expense, retain counsel in connection therewith, provided that such counsel
is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.  After the assumption of such
defense by the Indemnifying Party with counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party conduct such
defense on a diligent and timely basis, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
responsible for the payment of legal fees incurred thereafter by the Indemnified
Party (who may, however, continue to monitor the defense thereof with separate
counsel); provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for paying
the fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the Indemnified Party if the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting positions with
respect to such third-party claim or dispute or if the Indemnifying Party, on
the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, have defenses not
available to the other.  If the Indemnifying Party fail to, and until the
Indemnifying Party, undertake the defense of any such third-party claim or
dispute, or if the Indemnifying Party discontinue the diligent and timely
conduct thereof, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense and the
Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for reimbursing the Indemnified Party
for its legal fees and expenses as and when incurred by the Indemnified Party.
No party hereto may settle or compromise any such third-party claim or dispute
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (d) Upon receipt of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
have fifteen (15) calendar days to contest their indemnification obligation with
respect to such claim, or the amount thereof, by written notice to the
Indemnified Party (a "Contest Notice"); provided, however, that if, at the time
a Notice of Claim is submitted to the Indemnifying Party the amount of the
Liability in respect thereof has not yet been determined, such fifteen (15) day
period shall not commence until a further written notice (a "Notice of
Liability") has been sent or delivered by the Indemnified Party to the
Indemnifying Party setting forth the amount of the Liability incurred by the
Indemnified Party that was the subject of the earlier Notice of Claim.  Such
Contest Notice shall specify the reasons or bases for the objection of the
Indemnifying Party to the claim, and if the objection relates to the

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
amount of the Liability asserted, the amount, if any, which the Indemnifying
Party believe is due the Indemnified Party. If no such Contest Notice is given
with such 15-day period, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to pay to the
Indemnified Party the amount of the Liability set forth in the Notice of Claim,
or subsequent Notice of Liability, shall be deemed established and accepted by
the Indemnifying Party. If, on the other hand, the Indemnifying Party contest a
Notice of Claim or Notice of Liability (as the case may be) within such 15-day
period, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter
attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute by agreement. If they are unable
to so resolve their dispute within the immediately succeeding thirty (30) days,
such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Orange County,
California, as provided in Section 18(h) below. The award of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Upon final determination of the amount of the Liability
that is the subject of an indemnification claim (whether such determination is
the result of the Indemnifying Party's acceptance of, or failure to contest, a
Notice of Claim or Notice of Liability, or of a resolution of any dispute with
respect thereto by agreement of the parties or binding arbitration), such amount
shall be payable, in cash, by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party
who has been determined to be entitled thereto within five (5) days of such
final determination of the amount of the Liability due by the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to make such payment within such five (5)
day period, without limiting any other rights or remedies the Indemnified Party
may have as a result of such failure, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
set off the amount of such unpaid Liability, together with interest thereon at a
per annum rate of interest equal to the prime rate charged by The Bank of
America's main branch in Los Angeles, California, against, and thereby and to
that extent reduce, any amounts which may then be or thereafter become an
obligation of the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section 13, if the
Indemnifying Party is contesting only the amount of any Liability, then as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Contest Notice, the Indemnifying
Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party concurrently with the delivery of such
Contest Notice the portion of the Liability which it is not contesting. Any
amount that becomes due hereunder and is not paid when due shall bear interest
until paid at a per annum rate of interest equal to the prime rate charged by
The Bank of America's main branch in Los Angeles, California.

          14.  CONFIDENTIALITY.  Each party acknowledges that it may have access
to various items of proprietary and confidential information of the other in the
course of investigations and negotiations prior to Closing.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 6.4 above, each party agrees that any such confidential
information received from the other party shall be kept confidential and shall
not be used for any purpose other than to facilitate the arrangement of
financing for and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.
Confidential information shall include all due diligence materials delivered by
Seller to Buyer or Buyer to Seller and any business or other information which
is specifically marked by the party claiming confidentiality as being
confidential, unless such information (i) is already public knowledge, (ii)
becomes public knowledge through no fault, action or inaction of the receiving
party, or (iii) was known by the receiving party, or any of its directors,
officers, employees, representatives, agents or advisors prior to the disclosure
of such information by the disclosing party to the receiving party.  No party
hereto, nor its respective officers, directors, employees, accountants,
attorneys, or agents shall intentionally disclose the existence or nature of, or
any of the terms and conditions relating to, the transaction referred to herein,
to any third person; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed
in applications or requests required to be made to obtain any Licenses and
Permits, approvals or consents needed to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein or in any Securities Filings.

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


     This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and
between GISH BIOMEDICAL, INC., a California corporation ("Company"), and GLEN
IMBRO ("Employee").


                                    RECITALS

     A.   The Company is acquiring certain assets of Creative Medical
Development, Inc. ("CMD") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated
September 13, 1995, ("CMD Acquisition"); and

     B.   Employee has been employed by CMD since 19__ .  The Company desires to
employ Employee once the CMD Acquisition is completed, and Employee desires to
accept such employment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;


     Therefore, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT:  Employee shall be employed as an Engineering Manager of
the Company reporting to Ron Gangemi, and shall faithfully and diligently
perform all duties and responsibilities required of such position or assigned by
the Company from time to time.

     2.   TERM:  This Agreement and Employee's employment shall commence on
April 17, 1996,  shall continue until April 17, 1997 ("Initial Term"), unless
terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, and thereafter Employee
shall be employed by the Company for an indefinite term until terminated in
accordance with this Agreement.

     3.   LOCATION:  Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, Employee
shall be employed at the facilities located at 870 Gold Flat Road, Nevada City,

time may be required to travel temporarily to other locations to perform
assigned duties and responsibilities.

          field;

               (2) 2,000 share at such time, if any, within one (1) year from
          the closing date of the CMD Acquisition that the net sales of products
          derived from the Assets aggregate $3,000,000 for the prior 12 month
          period.

          C.  VACATION:  Employee shall accrue vacation in accordance with the
     Company's vacation policy for comparable employees, except that Employee's
     seniority with the Company shall be calculated from Employee's date of hire
     by CMD solely for purposes of vacation accrual.

          D.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:  Employee shall be entitled to participate

          C. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE:  The Company may terminate this Agreement
     immediately upon written notice to Employee in the event Employee (i)
     commits any material misconduct, willful breach, or habitual neglect of his
     duties, (ii) violates any policy or procedure of the Company, or (iii)
     engages in poor performance that is not cured after counseling by the
     Company.  In either event, the Company's sole obligation to Employee shall
     be to pay all compensation owing for services rendered by Employee prior to
     notice of termination under this subsection.

          D.  TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE:  The Company in its sole discretion may
     also terminate Employee's employment at any time without cause or prior
     warning.  In the event such termination without cause takes effect during
     the Initial Term, the Company's sole obligation shall be as follows: (ii)
     to continue paying Employee's base salary through regular payroll, minus
     appropriate withholding and payroll deduction, for the remainder of the
     Initial Term; and (ii) to provide Employee with the stock bonus described
     in Section 4(B) of this Agreement but only if the milestones described in
     that Section are achieved within one year from the date on which such
     termination without cause takes effect. In the event Employee is terminated
     by the Company without cause after the Initial Term, the Company's sole
     obligations shall be as follows: (i) to provide Employee with two (2) weeks
     notice or pay in lieu thereof through the Company's regular payroll, minus
     appropriate withholding and payroll deductions; and (ii) to provide
     Employee with the stock bonus described in section 4(B)(1) or (2) or both
     of this Agreement but only if the respective milestones described in those
     Sections are achieved within six (6) months after the effective date of
     Employee's termination.

          E.   FAILURE TO COMPLETE CMD ACQUISITION:  Notwithstanding any
     provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the CMD
     Acquisition is not completed for any reason, whether or not Employee has
     already commenced employment with the Company, the Company may terminate
     this Agreement and Employee's employment without cause or prior warning in
     which case the Company's sole obligation shall be to pay all compensation
     owing for the services rendered by Employee, if any, prior to notice of
     termination.

          F.  TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE:  Employee may terminate his   employment
     at any time after the Initial Term by giving written notice to the Company
     in accordance with the Company's policy on notice of resignation by
     comparable employees, in which case the Company's sole obligation shall be
     to pay all compensation owing for the services rendered by Employee prior
     to notice of termination.

          G. COMPANY'S SOLE OBLIGATION:  In the event of any termination
     pursuant to this Section 4, the payment of the amounts set forth in
     subsections (A) through (F) above as applicable constitute the sole
     obligations of the Company and are in lieu of any damages or other
     compensation that Employee may claim in connection with this Agreement.

          H.  RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY:  Upon termination of employment for
     any reason, Employee shall immediately return to the Company without
     condition all files, records, keys, and other property of the Company.

     6.   CONFIDENTIALITY:  Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will
be entrusted with trade secrets and proprietary information regarding the
products, processes, methods of manufacture and delivery, know-how, designs,
formula, work in progress, research and development, computer software and data
bases, copyrights, trademarks, patents, marketing techniques, and future
business plans, as well as customer lists and information concerning the
identity, needs, and desires of actual and potential customers of the Company
and its subsidiaries, joint ventures, partners, and other affiliated persons and
entities ("Confidential Information"), all of which derive significant economic
value from not being generally known to others outside the Company.
Confidential Information shall not include information which has become known or
readily accessible to the trade through lawful and proper means.

          A.  During the entire term of Employee's employment with the Company,
     and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not disclose or exploit any
     Confidential Information except as necessary in the performance of
     Employee's duties under this Agreement or with the Company's express
     written consent.

          B.  During the entire term of Employee's employment by the Company and
     for one year thereafter, Employee shall not induce or attempt to induce any
     employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ except for the sole
     benefit of the Company or with its express written consent.

          C.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this
     Section 5 would cause immediate irreparable damage to the Company, and that
     it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine the amount of
     damage caused to the Company.  Employee therefore consents to the issuance
     of a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction, and
     other appropriate relief to restrain any actual or threatened violation of
     this Section, without limiting any other remedies the Company may have.

     7.   INVENTIONS:  Any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks, inventions,
discoveries, developments, or trade secrets developed or perfected by Employee
during or as the result of his employment with the Company shall constitute the
sole and exclusive property of the Company.  Employee shall disclose all such
matters to

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
the Company, assign all right, title and interest Employee may have in them, and
cooperate with the Company in obtaining and perfecting any patent, copyright,
trademark, or other legal protection. This Section 6 shall not apply to any
invention which qualifies fully under California Labor Code section 2870, a true
copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

     8.   CONFLICT OF INTERESTS:  During the term of this Agreement, Employee
shall devote Employee's full working time, ability, and attention to the
business of the Company, and shall not accept other employment or engage in any
other outside business activity which interferes with the performance of
Employee's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or which involves
actual or potential competition with the business of the Company, except with
the express written consent of the President.

     9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:  All of the employee benefit plans referred to
or contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed solely by the terms of the
underlying plan documents and by applicable law.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall impair the Company's right to amend, modify, replace, and terminate any
and all such plans in its sole discretion as provided by law, or to terminate
this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  This Agreement is for the sole
benefit of Employee and the Company, and is not intended to create an employee
benefit plan or to modify the terms of existing plans.

     10.  ASSIGNMENT:  This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee, but may
be assigned by the Company to any successor in interest to its business.  This
Agreement shall bind and inure to be benefit of the Company's successors and
assigns, as well as Employee's heirs, executors, administrators, and legal
representatives.

     described in that Section are achieved within one year from the date such
     termination without cause takes effect.  In the event Employee is
     terminated by the Company without cause after the Initial Term, the
     Company's sole obligations shall be as follows: (i) to provide two (2)
     weeks notice or pay in lieu thereof through the Company's regular payroll,
     minus appropriate withholding and payroll deductions; and (ii) to provide
     Employee with the stock bonus described in Section 4(B)(1) or (2) or both
     but only if the respective milestones described in those Sections are
     achieved within six (6) months after the effective date of Employee's
     termination.

          E.   FAILURE TO COMPLETE CMD ACQUISITION:  Notwithstanding any
     provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the CMD
     Acquisition is not completed for any reason, whether or not Employee has
     already commenced employment with the Company, the Company may terminate
     this Agreement and Employee's employment without cause or prior warning in
     which case the Company's sole obligation shall be to pay all compensation
     owing for the services rendered by Employee, if any, prior to notice of
     termination.

          F.  TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE:  Employee may terminate his employment at
     any time after the Initial Term by giving written notice to the Company in
     accordance with the Company's policy on notice of resignation by comparable
     employees, in which case the Company's sole obligation shall be to pay all
     compensation owing for the services rendered by Employee prior to notice of
     termination.

          G.  COMPANY'S SOLE OBLIGATION:  In the event of any termination
     pursuant to this Section 4, the payment of the amounts set forth in
     subsections (A) through (F) above as applicable constitute the sole

     compensation that Employee may claim in connection with this Agreement.

<PAGE>
 
          H. RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY:  Upon termination of employment for any
     reason, Employee shall immediately return to the Company without condition
     all files, records, keys, and other property of the Company.

     6.   CONFIDENTIALITY:  Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will
be entrusted with trade secrets and proprietary information regarding the
products, processes, methods of manufacture and delivery, know-how, designs,
formula, work in progress, research and development, computer software and data
bases, copyrights, trademarks, patents, marketing techniques, and future
business plans, as well as customer lists and information concerning the
identity, needs, and desires of actual and potential customers of the Company
and its subsidiaries, joint ventures, partners, and other affiliated persons and
entities ("Confidential Information"), all of which derive significant economic
value from not being generally known to others outside the Company.
Confidential Information shall not include information which has become known or
readily accessible to the trade through lawful and proper means.

          A.  During the entire term of Employee's employment with the Company,
     and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not disclose or exploit any
     Confidential Information except as necessary in the performance of
     Employee's duties under this Agreement or with the Company's express
     written consent.

          B.  During the entire term of Employee's employment by the Company and
     for one year thereafter, Employee shall not induce or attempt to induce any
     employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ except for the sole
     benefit of the Company or with its express written consent.

          C.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this
     Section 5 would cause immediate irreparable damage to the Company, and that
     it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine the amount of
     damage caused to the Company.  Employee therefore consents to the issuance
     of a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction, and
     other appropriate relief to restrain any actual or threatened violation of
     this Section, without limiting any other remedies the Company may have.

     7.   INVENTIONS:  Any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks, inventions,
discoveries, developments, or trade secrets developed or perfected by Employee
during or as the result of his employment with the Company shall constitute the
sole and exclusive property of the Company.  Employee shall disclose all such
matters to the Company, assign all right, title and interest Employee may have
in them, and cooperate with the Company in obtaining and perfecting any patent,
copyright, trademark, or other legal protection.  This Section 6 shall not apply
to any invention which qualifies fully under California Labor Code section 2870,
a true copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

     8.   CONFLICT OF INTERESTS:  During the term of this Agreement, Employee
shall devote Employee's full working time, ability, and attention to the
business of the Company, and shall not accept other employment or engage in any
other outside

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
business activity which interferes with the performance of Employee's duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement or which involves actual or potential
competition with the business of the Company, except with the express written
consent of the President.

     9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:  All of the employee benefit plans referred to
or contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed solely by the terms of the
underlying plan documents and by applicable law.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall impair the Company's right to amend, modify, replace, and terminate any
and all such plans in its sole discretion as provided by law, or to terminate
this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  This Agreement is for the sole
benefit of Employee and the Company, and is not intended to create an employee
benefit plan or to modify the terms of existing plans.

     10.  ASSIGNMENT:  This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee, but may
be assigned by the Company to any successor in interest to its business.  This
Agreement shall bind and inure to be benefit of the Company's successors and
assigns, as well as Employee's heirs, executors, administrators, and legal
representatives.

     11.  NOTICES:  All notices required by this Agreement may be delivered by
first class mail at the following addresses:

products, processes, methods of manufacture and delivery, know-how, designs,
formula, work in progress, research and development, computer software and data
bases, copyrights, trademarks, patents, marketing techniques, and future
business plans, as well as customer lists and information concerning the
identity, needs, and desires of actual and potential customers of the Company
and its subsidiaries, joint ventures, partners, and other affiliated persons and
entities ("Confidential Information"), all of which derive significant economic
value from not being generally known to others outside the Company.
Confidential Information shall not include information which has become known or
readily accessible to the trade through lawful and proper means.

          A.  During the entire term of Employee's employment with the Company,
     and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not disclose or exploit any
     Confidential Information except as necessary in the performance of
     Employee's duties under this Agreement or with the Company's express
     written consent.

          B.  During the entire term of Employee's employment by the Company and
     for one year thereafter, Employee shall not induce or attempt to induce any
     employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ except for the sole
     benefit of the Company or with its express written consent.

          C.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this
     Section 5 would cause immediate irreparable damage to the Company, and that
     it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine the amount of
     damage caused to the Company.  Employee therefore consents to the issuance
     of a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction, and
     other appropriate relief to restrain any actual or threatened violation of
     this Section, without limiting any other remedies the Company may have.

     7.   INVENTIONS:  Any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks, inventions,
discoveries, developments, or trade secrets developed or perfected by Employee
during or as the result of his employment with the Company shall constitute the
sole and exclusive property of the Company.  Employee shall disclose all such
matters to the Company, assign all right, title and interest Employee may have
in them, and cooperate with the Company in obtaining and perfecting any patent,
copyright, trademark, or other legal protection.  This Section 6 shall not apply
to any invention

which qualifies fully under California Labor Code section 2870, a true copy of
which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

     8.   CONFLICT OF INTERESTS:  During the term of this Agreement, Employee
shall devote Employee's full working time, ability, and attention to the
business of the Company, and shall not accept other employment or engage in any
other outside business activity which interferes with the performance of
Employee's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or which involves
actual or potential competition with the business of the Company, except with
the express written consent of the President.

     9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:  All of the employee benefit plans referred to
or contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed solely by the terms of the
underlying plan documents and by applicable law.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall impair the Company's right to amend, modify, replace, and terminate any
and all such plans in its sole discretion as provided by law, or to terminate
this Agreement in accordance with its terms.  This Agreement is for the sole
benefit of Employee and the Company, and is not intended to create an employee
benefit plan or to modify the terms of existing plans.

     10.  ASSIGNMENT:  This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee, but may
be assigned by the Company to any successor in interest to its business.  This
Agreement shall bind and inure to be benefit of the Company's successors and
assigns, as well as Employee's heirs, executors, administrators, and legal
representatives.

     11.  NOTICES:  All notices required by this Agreement may be delivered by
first class mail at the following addresses:

                       CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870

                  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS



    "(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an
employee shall assign or offer to assign any of his or her rights in an
invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the
employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either:

         (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
         invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably
         anticipated research or development of the employer.

         (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

    (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require
an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be
assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of
this state and is unenforceable."

                                                       FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

           GISH BIOMEDICAL COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF CREATIVE MEDICAL
     --Innovative Infusion Pump Expands Gish Into Home Health Care Market--

     Irvine, California --April 23, 1996 -- Gish Biomedical, Inc. (Nasdaq: GISH)
today announced it completed the acquisition of Creative Medical Development,
Inc. (OTC:CMDI) of Nevada City, California, in a transaction that expands Gish's
operations into the home health care market with an innovative multi-therapy
infusion pump that complements Gish's line of catheters. Gish acquired
substantially all of the assets of Creative Medical for approximately 240,000
shares of Gish common stock valued at $2.0 million, plus $600,000 in cash.

     "The acquisition of Creative Medical provides Gish with not only another
state-of-the-art product, the EZ Flow 480/TM/ infusion pump, but adds a
significant new dimension to our company in the rapidly growing home health care
market," stated Jack W. Brown, chairman and president of Gish.  "It reflects our
strategy of logically extending an established name and product line into
selected specialty areas."

     The microprocessor-based EZ Flow 480/TM/ is being sold under the Gish name
through Creative Medical's distributors and through Gish's direct sales force in
selected markets nationwide.  In contrast to single-use infusion pumps, the EZ
Flow 480/TM/ can accommodate a range of therapies, including continuous,
intermittent, total parenteral nutrition and patient controlled analgesia.  The
product's multiple protocol translates into more efficient in-service training
for home health care providers and more effective inventory management.

     The EZ Flow 480's/TM/ menu driven software features multi-view programming
screens, lending itself to simple operation.  Enhanced by the device's automatic
calculation software, infusion rate and dosage intervals are automatically
verified, practically eliminating dosing calculation errors.  The EZ Flow
480/TM/ simply performs complex dosage requirements such as tapered TPN
administration, time delayed antibiotic therapy, and PCA with continuous basal
infusion.

     Gish Biomedical, Inc. designs and manufactures disposable physician-
preference products for various surgical specialties.  The company offers
premier devices for use in cardiovascular and orthopedic surgery and oncology,
in addition to the new line of ambulatory infusion pumps.
