         The condensed   consolidated  financial statements included herein have
         been  prepared  by   the  Company,   without  audit,  and  include  all
         adjustments  which,  in the opinion of management,  are necessary for a
         fair  presentation of  the results of operations and cash flows for the

         financial  position at  December  31,  1999,  pursuant to the rules and
         regulations of the Securities  and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
         information and footnote  disclosures normally included in consolidated
         financial  statements   prepared in accordance with generally  accepted
         accounting  principles  have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
         rules  and   regulations.   Although  the  Company  believes  that  the
         disclosures in such condensed  consolidated   financial  statements are
         adequate  to make the  information   presented  not  misleading,  these
         condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
         conjunction with the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements and
         the notes thereto  included  in the Company's  Annual Report filed with
         the SEC on Form 10-K for the year  ended June 30, 1999. Commencing with
         this fiscal year, the Company  has elected to make its filings with the
         SEC pursuant to the small  business reporting  alternative  provided by
         the SEC under Regulation S-B.

2.       Inventories
         -----------

         Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out) or
         net realizable value and are summarized as follows (in thousands):

                                            December 31, 1999

3.       Earnings per share
         ------------------

         The Company  calculates  earnings (loss) per share pursuant to SFAS 128
         "Earnings Per Share". Due to the incurrence of losses in each reporting
         period,  there is no  difference  between  basic and  diluted per share
         amounts.

4.       Acquisition
         -----------

         On April 17, 1996, the Company assumed  ownership of the net assets and
         technology of Creative  Medical  Development  ("CMD") in exchange for a
         payment of $600,000 in cash and  $2,000,000  of Gish  Biomedical,  Inc.
         common  stock.  During the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1997,  the Company
         recorded  an  impairment  of  goodwill of  $1,800,000  to write off the
         goodwill associated with this product line.

         During the  fiscal  year ended  June 30,  1998 the  Company  decided to
         redesign the infusion pump without  utilizing the  technology  acquired
         from CMD.  Consequently,  in the  fourth  quarter of fiscal  1998,  the
         Company wrote off all remaining assets, principally inventory, property
         and equipment  associated  with the CMD infusion  pump,  and recognized
         charges aggregating $827,000.

5.       Nonrecurring Charges
         --------------------

         In  September,  1999 the Company  discontinued  development  of the new
         infusion  pump  for  strategic  and  economic  reasons  and  recognized
         $429,000 in charges  related to the  discontinuance.  The total  charge
         consisted  of  $140,000   charged  to  cost  of  sales  for   inventory
         obsolescence,  $7,000 charged to selling and marketing  expense for the
         write-down of field  inventories,  and $282,000  charged to general and
         administrative  expense  consisting  primarily of software  development
         costs.

         Additionally,  in the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999,  the Company
         recognized  obsolete inventory  write-offs of $83,000 for custom tubing
         packs, field  inventory  shrinkage  of  $133,000,  severance  and other
         costs  associated with the resignation of the Company's chief executive
         of $294,000,  and  severance of $95,000  resulting  from a reduction in
         force.  Excluding  nonrecurring  charges,  the  Company's  gross profit
         margin for the quarter ended  September 30, 1999 was 27.1%  compared to
         28.0% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

ITEM 2.  -  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -------     Results of Operations
            ---------------------

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  and the  Company  intends  that  such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Words
such as  "anticipates",  "expects",  "intends",  "plans",  "believes",  "seeks",
"estimates",  variations of such words and similar  expressions  are intended to
identify such  forward-looking  statements,  which include (i) the existence and
development  of the Company's  technical and  manufacturing  capabilities,  (ii)
anticipated  competition,  (iii) potential future growth in revenues and income,
(iv) potential future decreases in costs, and (v) the need for, and availability
of, additional financing.

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-QSB, the
inclusion  of  forward-looking  information  herein  should not be regarded as a
representation  by Gish or any other person that our objectives or plans will be
achieved. We may encounter  competitive,  technological,  financial and business
challenges  making it more  difficult  than  expected to continue to develop and
market our products; the market may not accept our existing and future products;
we may be unable  to retain  key  management  personnel;  and there may be other
material  adverse  changes in our  operations  or  business.  Certain  important
factors  affecting the forward looking  statements made herein include,  but are
not limited to (i) continued downward pricing pressures in our targeted markets,
(ii) the continued  acquisition  of our customers by certain of our  competitors
and (iii) our  decision to replace our  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 us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may
in turn affect our financial  position and results of operations.  The reader is
therefore  cautioned not to place undue reliance on  forward-looking  statements
contained herein, which speak as of the date of this report.

The following is  management's  discussion  and analysis of certain  significant
factors which have  affected the earnings and financial  position of the Company
during  the period  included  in the  accompanying  financial  statements.  This
discussion  compares  the three month period  ending  December 31, 1999 with the
three month  period ended  December  31,  1998,  as well as the six month period
ended December 31, 1999 with the six month period ended December 31, 1998.  This
discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and
associated notes.

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

We  incurred  a net loss of  $334,000,  or $.10 basic and  diluted  net loss per
share,  for the three months ended  December 31, 1999  compared to a net loss of
$326,000,  or $.09  basic and  diluted  net loss per share,  for the  comparable
period in the prior fiscal year.

For  the  six  months  ended  December  31,  1999,  we  incurred  a net  loss of
$1,969,000, or $.57 basic and diluted net loss per share, compared to a net loss
of  $596,000,  or $.17 basic and diluted net loss per share,  for the six months
ended December 31, 1998.

The increased  loss relative to the six months ended December 31, 1998 is partly
due to  non-recurring  charges of $1,034,000  which were reported in the quarter
ended  September  30,  1999.  The  charges  included  $429,000  related  to  the

<PAGE>


discontinuance  of our infusion pump  business,  $294,000 in severance and costs
related to the resignation of our chief executive, obsolete inventory write-offs
of $83,000 for custom tubing packs,  $133,000  write-down of field  inventories,
and $95,000 in severance from the reduction in our workforce in September, 1999.
The $95,000  severance was for 46  employees,  and included  $24,000  charged to
selling and marketing expense, $15,000 charged to research and development,  and
$56,000 charged to general and  administrative  costs.  Substantially all of the
$95,000 severance was paid in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1999.

In September,  1999 we concluded that our ambulatory  infusion pump business was
not viable  due to the large  number of  competitive  models  available  and the
downward trend in market pricing of both hardware and disposable  pump products.
Consequently,  we  discontinued  development  of a new infusion  pump then under
development,  and  wrote off  inventory  and other  assets  associated  with the
infusion pump product line.

The $429,000 charge related to the  discontinuance of the infusion pump business
included  $140,000  in  obsolete  inventories  charged to cost of sales,  $7,000
charged to selling and marketing for obsolete  field  inventories,  and $282,000
charged to general and  administrative  expenses which included the write-off of
capitalized  software development costs for the infusion pump product previously
under development.

We had sales of $4,532,000  for the quarter ended  December 31, 1999 compared to
sales of $4,515,000 for the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the
six months ended December 31, 1999, we had sales of $8,948,000 compared to sales
of $9,267,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998.

The $319,000  net  decrease in sales for the six months ended  December 31, 1999
compared  to the prior year  period  included a  $432,000  decrease  in sales of
cardiotomy  reservoirs,  a $296,000 decrease in sales of cardioplegia  products,
and an $865,000  decrease in sales of custom  tubing  sets,  partly  offset by a
$934,000 increase in sales of oxygenators.

The  reduction in sales of cardiotomy  reservoirs,  cardioplegia  products,  and
custom tubing sets is partially due to a loss of market share in these  products
to  other  competitors,  and  partially  due to  the  increasing  percentage  of
open-heart  surgeries which are performed without stopping the heart. A majority
of our sales are derived from products  used in the  open-heart  bypass  circuit
which is employed when a patient's heart is stopped during cardiac  surgery.  An
additional  factor in the reduction of cardiotomy  reservoir sales is a shift in
usage by our  customers  from a  separate  cardiotomy  reservoir  to a  combined
product including both a Gish oxygenator and an integral reservoir, all of which
is included in the oxygenator sales category.

Oxygenator  sales were  $923,000 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1999
compared to $464,000 for the three months ended  December 31, 1998.  For the six
months ended December 31, 1999,  oxygenator  sales were  $1,662,000  compared to
$728,000 for the comparable  period in the prior fiscal year. The sales increase
resulted from additional market  penetration by the Vision(TM)  oxygenator which
was  introduced  in August,  1997.  The  Vision  oxygenator  has been  favorably
received by the market due to product features and operating performance.

Gross profit  decreased to  $1,137,000  for the three months ended  December 31,
1999 compared to $1,323,000  for the three months ended  December 31, 1998.  The
primary cause of the gross profit decrease was the decrease in production volume
and  resulting  increase  in overhead  cost per unit  compared to the prior year
quarter.  A secondary  factor was the shift in product mix to  oxygenators  from
other products with higher margins.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, gross profit was $2,112,000 compared
to $2,655,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease  included
the effect of obsolete inventory writeoffs totaling $223,000 which were recorded
in the first  quarter of fiscal  2000.  The  inventory  writeoffs  consisted  of
$83,000 for custom tubing packs and $140,000  related to the  discontinuance  of
our infusion pump business. Additional factors in the gross profit decrease were
the  decrease in total net sales,  and the shift in product  mix to  oxygenators
from other products with higher margin such as cardiotomy  reservoirs and custom
tubing packs.

Research and  development  expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1999
were $238,000 compared to $336,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
The  decrease in research and  development  expense  compared to the  comparable
quarter in the prior year resulted from the staff reduction and  discontinuation
of our infusion pump business, both of which occurred in September, 1999.

Research and  development  expenses  for the six months ended  December 31, 1999
were $690,000  compared to $565,000 for the comparable period in the prior year.
The net increase resulted from additional staff and increased prototype expenses
incurred  during the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999 compared to the quarter
ended  September 30, 1998.  The quarter  ended  September 30, 1999 also included
$15,000 in severance related to the September, 1999 reduction in the size of our
workforce.

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1999 were
$944,000  compared to $969,000  for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1998.
Selling and marketing  expenses for the six months ended  December 31, 1999 were
$2,053,000  compared to $1,989,000  for the six months ended  December 31, 1998.
The $64,000  increase  for the six month period is  attributable  to $164,000 in
nonrecurring  charges  incurred in the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999.  The
nonrecurring  charges  included  $24,000 in severance  from the reduction in the
size of our  workforce  in  September,  1999,  a  $133,000  write-down  of field
inventories,  and a $7,000  write-down of  discontinued  infusion pumps in field
inventory.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1999
were $316,000 compared to $383,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
The $67,000 decrease  resulted from a $38,000  decrease in management  incentive
bonuses,  and salary  savings of $32,000 due to a two month vacancy in the chief
executive  position  following  the  resignation  of Jack W. Brown in September,
1999.

For the six month period ending  December 31, 1999,  general and  administrative
expenses  were  $1,430,000  compared to $808,000 for the six month period ending
December 31, 1998. The increase over the prior year period included  $294,000 in
severance and other costs  related to the  resignation  of our chief  executive,
Jack W. Brown, in September,  1999. An employment  agreement  between us and Mr.
Brown provides for Mr. Brown's continued  compensation by us until September 15,
2001 at an annual  salary of $100,000,  for which we recorded a $225,000  charge
including  fringe  benefits.  As part of the agreement,  Mr. Brown also received
forgiveness of debt of $54,000 and title to a former company  automobile  valued
at $15,000.

General and  administrative  expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1999
also  included a charge of $282,000  relating to our  ambulatory  infusion  pump
product  previously  under  development.  The charge  included the  write-off of
capitalized  software  development costs for the new pump.  Product  development
activities for the pump ceased in September, 1999. In addition, the current year
period included $56,000 in severance related to the September, 1999 reduction in
the size of our workforce.

Year 2000 Compliance Update:
- ----------------------------

We earlier disclosed our estimate of cost and risk associated with the potential
Y2K computer  issue.  We also  informed you of our efforts to reduce the risk to
the Company  from the Y2K  problems.  The  measures  that we had  undertaken  to
alleviate  the  internal  and  external  issues  regarding  potential  Year 2000
problems proved to be appropriate and effective.  Our internal operating systems
have not  suffered any  significant  Year 2000 related  problems  that  impacted
operations during the transition to the new millennium.  Any issues  encountered
were minor and were  resolved  immediately  without any impact on our  operating
systems. However, we continue to monitor our internal and external operations to
ensure  that  these  problems  have  truly been  resolved.  Issues  may  surface
regarding  Year  2000  compliance  but we expect  these  issues,  if any,  to be
relatively insignificant.

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

At  December  31,  1999,  we had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $2,044,000  and
short-term  investments  of  $1,183,000.  Short-term  investments  consisted  of
government-backed securities and short-term certificates of deposit.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999 net cash used by operating activities
was $733,000  compared to net cash used by operating  activities  of $98,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1998. Cash flows from operating activities for
the six months ended December 31, 1999  decreased from the comparable  period in
the prior year  principally from the increased net loss. The cash flow effect of
the  increased  loss in the six months  ended  December  31, 1999 was  partially
offset by the  $280,000  loss on disposal of fixed  assets which was included in
the loss from operations but did not consume cash. The $280,000 loss on disposal
of fixed assets  consisted  primarily of software  development  costs associated
with our discontinued ambulatory infusion pump and MyoManager product lines.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 1999
was $38,000 compared to $189,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The
decrease from the prior year period  resulted  primarily from increased sales of
short-term  investments partially offset by increased purchases of manufacturing
tooling and equipment.

For the six months  ended  December  31,  1999 net cash  provided  by  financing
activities was $23,000 compared to net cash provided by financing  activities of
$16,000 for the six months ended  December  31,  1998.  The increase in net cash
provided by financing  activities  from the comparable  period in the prior year
resulted from increased proceeds from stock options exercised.

We believe that cash generated from operations together with available cash will
be adequate to meet the Company's  planned  expenditures and liquidity needs for
fiscal 2000.
