March 31, 1998 and 1997, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures in such
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Registrant's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Registrant's Annual Report filed with the Securities and

3.   Per share amounts

     Per share amounts are based upon the weighted average numbers of common
     shares outstanding during the period.

     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Statement 128
     replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
     share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings
     per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of
     options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share
     is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per
     share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented,
     and where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations: The Company acquired the assets and technology of
Creative Medical Development, Inc. ("CMD") for $600,000 in cash and 240,240
shares of the Company's common stock. Upon closing of the transaction April 17,
1996, the Company entered into a one-year lease for the building which CMD then
occupied. The Company ceased utilizing the facility during the quarter ended
December 31, 1996 and was released from its lease obligation in February 1997.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, due to the low level of infusion pump
sales and negative cash flow projections, the Company determined that the
unamortized goodwill of $1,824,200 associated with the purchase of the infusion
pump from CMD had little, if any future value. Accordingly, the Company recorded
an impairment of goodwill of $1.8 million in fiscal 1997 to write-off the
goodwill associated with this product line.

In September 1997, the Company was informed by two of its major distributors,
Specialized Medical Systems (SMS) and CardioVascular Concepts (CVC), that they
were electing to terminate their distributor relationships with the Company
effective December 1997, subsequently renegotiated to February 1, 1998.
 For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 SMS and CVC represented 15% and 7% of
the Company's total sales, respectively. However, the two distributors only
accounted for 12% and 5%, respectively, of the Company's gross profit for the
same period.

Sales for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 decreased by
$623,500 or 12%, and $750,100 or 5%, respectively, over the corresponding
periods of fiscal 1997. The decreases in sales for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1998 were primarily due to a timing difference created
by the depletion of the terminating distributors' inventories, which
approximated a sixty day supply, versus the hospitals' commencement of purchases
direct from the Company. The Company has engaged seven direct sales persons to
replace the two distributor sales organizations. The Company anticipates that
sales volumes in these territories will normalize during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998.

The conversion of these territories to direct sales representation has afforded
the Company better marketing opportunities with respect to its new oxygenator.
Gish had previously excluded these two territories from its marketing plan for
the launch of the Vision(TM) oxygenator because these distributors represented a
competing oxygenator product. The conversion of these territories to a direct
sales force has allowed the Company to sell the Vision(TM) in conjunction with
custom tubing packs, cardioplegia systems, cardiotomy reservoirs and oxygen
saturation monitors in these territories.

Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was 69% of sales
as compared to 72% of sales for the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. The
decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the period is primarily
due to the decrease in the sales of lower margin products to the terminated
distributors as a proportion of total sales.

Cost of sales for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 was 70% of sales as
compared to 69% of sales for the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. The
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to declining average unit selling prices
of the Company's cardiovascular products.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
increased $292,800 or 30% as compared with the corresponding period of fiscal
1997. Selling and marketing expenses for the

         OF OPERATIONS (continued)


nine month period ended March 31, 1998 increased $607,700 or 22% over the
corresponding period of fiscal 1997. These increases were primarily due to the
engagement of seven new direct salespersons for the territory relinquished by
the two terminated distributor sales organizations and increased marketing
activity for the Vision Oxygenator. The Company anticipates that its selling and
marketing expenses will increase to approximately $1,300,000 per quarter for the
remainder of the fiscal year.

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 decreased $67,100 or 22% compared to the corresponding period in fiscal
1997 and decreased $245,200 or 24% for the nine month period ended March 31,
1998 over the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. The decreases are due to the
completion of the Company's oxygenator development program and the elimination
of the engineering staff acquired with the CMD infusion pump. The Company is
actively engaged in several new product development projects, all of which will
continue to require expenditures approximating $275,000 per quarter for the
foreseeable future.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1998 were 10% and 9% of sales respectively, compared with 9% of sales
for the corresponding periods of fiscal 1997. The increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998 is primarily due to the lower level of sales for the
period. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses should
approximate $450,000 per quarter for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The income tax benefit is based upon a combined federal and state effective tax
rate of 39% for all periods presented.

Quarterly loss per share is not directly additive for the periods presented due
to fluctuations in weighted average shares outstanding. These fluctuations are
attributable to the exercise of stock options.

The effects of inflation have not been a significant factor in the results of
operations. The cardiovascular surgery market has been experiencing pricing
pressures which have precluded the Company from considering price increases.

Liquidity and capital resources: At March 31, 1998, the Company had $15,382,200
of working capital, an increase of $41,500 from working capital at June 30,
1997. The increase is primarily due to normal fluctuations in the operations of
the business.

For the period ended March 31, 1998 cash used in operations of $1,090,100 was
primarily due to increases in inventory. This increase was primarily due to
stocking higher levels of inventory related to the expansion of the Company's
direct sales force. For the period ended March 31, 1997 cash provided by
operations of $592,200 was primarily due to operations, offset by increased
prepaid expenses and payment of trade payables.

For the period ended March 31, 1998 cash used in investing activities of
$213,600 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment for the
manufacture of new products and to increase manufacturing efficiency. For the
period ended March 31, 1997 cash used by investing activities of $465,700 was
primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment for use in the
manufacture of the Company's new oxygenator.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

For the period ended March 31, 1998 cash provided by financing activities of
$10,900 was due to proceeds from the exercise of stock options offset by an
increase in the note receivable from officer. For the period ended March 31,
1997 cash provided by financing activities of 136,100 was primarily due to
proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations together with available
cash will be adequate to meet the Company's planned expenditures and liquidity
needs for fiscal 1998.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
that are based on current expectations. In light of the important factors that
can materially affect results, including those set forth below and elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the inclusion of forward-looking information
herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other
person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. The Company
may encounter competitive, technological, financial and business challenges
making it more difficult than expected to continue to develop and market its
products; the market may not accept the Company's existing and future products;
the Company may be unable to retain existing key management personnel; and there
may be other material adverse changes in the Company's operations or business.
Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made herein
include, but are not limited to (i) the lack of market acceptance of its
redesigned MyoManager or ambulatory infusion pump, (ii) continued downward
pricing pressures in the Company's targeted markets, (iii) the continued
acquisition of the Company's customers by certain of its competitors and (iv)
the decision by the Company to replace its distributor network with a direct
sales force in certain geographic territories. Assumptions relating to
budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are
subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic
revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of
which may cause the Company to alter its marketing, capital expenditure or other
budgets, which may in turn affect the Company's financial position and results
of operations. The reader is therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forwarding-looking statements contained herein, which speak as of the date of
this Report.
