Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

    On February 9, 1998, I-Flow Corporation, a California corporation (the
    "Registrant") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
    by and among the Registrant, I-Flow Subsidiary, Inc., a California
    corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("I-FlowSub"),
    InfuSystems II, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("InfuSystems"), Venture
    Medical, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("VMI") and the shareholders of
    InfuSystems and VMI, contemplating the merger of InfuSystems and VMI with
    and into I-FlowSub. Pursuant to the Agreement, VMI and InfuSystems were
    merged with and into I-FlowSub (the "Merger") effective as of February 11,
    1998 (the "Effective Time").

    In the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of VMI and
    InfuSystems were exchanged for shares of common stock of the Registrant. The
    aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Registrant issued in the
    Merger to the shareholders of VMI and InfuSystems was 972,372 shares, valued
    at approximately $2.9 million (subject to certain post-effective
    adjustments). As contemplated by the Agreement, shares of common stock of
    the Registrant issued in the Merger valued at $1.5 million (the "Escrowed
    Shares") were withheld by the Registrant and were delivered to U.S. Trust
    Registrant of California, N.A., as escrow agent, to be deposited in escrow.
    The Escrowed Shares, or cash equal to the closing value of the Escrowed
    Shares, will be held for a period of two years from the Effective Time
    during which time they will be subject to claims by the Registrant and
    I-FlowSub to satisfy the obligations of InfuSystems, VMI and the
    shareholders of InfuSystems and VMI under the Agreement (subject to the
    possible earlier release of a portion of the Escrowed Shares in connection
    with collection by I-FlowSub of certain accounts receivable). At each of the
    six month, one year, eighteen month and two year anniversary of the closing,
    if the value of the Registrant's common stock at such time is less than the
    value of the Registrant's common stock as of the closing ($2.98 per share),
    then the Registrant will be obligated to pay additional amounts as merger
    consideration. The additional amounts, if any, will be calculated pursuant
    to the formula set forth in Section 1.6(a)(ii) of the Agreement. At the
    Registrant's election, the Registrant may pay such additional merger
    consideration, if any, by the issuance of additional shares of the
    Registrant's common stock, in cash, or any combination thereof.

    In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, 59,395 shares of the
    Registrant's common stock, valued at $177,000, were issued to Amherst
    Capital Partners, L.L.C. ("Amherst"), investment banker for InfuSystems and
    VMI, as payment of Amherst's fees and expenses in connection with the
    Merger. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the
    Registrant paid $50,000 to Cohen & Ellias, P.C., counsel for VMI and
    InfuSystems, as partial payment of the fees and expenses of Cohen & Ellias,
    P.C. incurred in connection with the Merger.

    The amount of consideration paid in the Merger was determined through
    negotiations between the parties. The terms of the Merger were approved by
    the Boards of Directors 


                                       1

    and shareholders of I-FlowSub, InfuSystems and VMI and by the Board of
    Directors of the Registrant.

    There is no material relationship between InfuSystem, VMI and the Registrant
    or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Registrant, or any
    associate of any such director or officer. Steven E. Watkins, former
    president of VMI and InfuSystem, has been appointed president of I-FlowSub
    and has entered into an employment agreement with I-FlowSub.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

    Financial Statements of VMI and InfuSystems prepared pursuant to Regulation
    S-X including a manually signed accountants' report, are provided herewith
    as Exhibit 99.1.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give
    effect to the Merger. The acquisition has been accounted for using the
    purchase method of accounting. Under this method of accounting the assets
    and liabilities of the acquired businesses are combined with those of the
    Registrant as of the effective date of the acquisition, the carrying values
    of acquired assets are adjusted to reflect the portion of the total purchase
    consideration allocable to each asset, on the basis of the estimated fair
    values of the assets. The difference between the total consideration and the
    aggregate carrying value of the acquired assets as so adjusted is recorded
    as goodwill. The liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their
    fair value as of the effective date of the acquisition.

    The Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet presents the combined financial
    position of the Registrant and VMI and InfuSystems as if the acquisition had
    occurred on December 31, 1997. The Pro Forma Combined Statements of
    Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1997 present the combined results
    of the Registrant and VMI and InfuSystems as if the acquisition had occurred
    on January 1, 1997. VMI and InfuSystems' previous fiscal year ended December
    31, 1997. As VMI and InfuSystems' reporting periods coincided with the
    Registrant's reporting periods, there were no related adjustments to the pro
    forma combined financial statements.

    The pro forma financial statements are provided for comparative purposes and
    have been prepared based upon the historical financial statements of the
    Registrant and VMI and InfuSystems. The pro forma statements do not purport
    to be indicative of the results which would actually have been obtained if
    the acquisition had been effected on the date or dates indicated nor are
    they necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
    achieved in the future. The pro forma financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes
    thereto of the Registrant and VMI and InfuSystems included herein or
    incorporated herein by reference.

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE

AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors of
  Venture Medical, Inc. and
  Infusystem II, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Venture Medical,
Inc. and Infusystem II, Inc. (the Companies), both of which are under common
ownership and common management, as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related combined statements of operations and retained earnings and of cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these 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 audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of Venture Medical, Inc. and
Infusystem II, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the combined results of
their operations and their combined cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 9, the 1996 combined financial statements have been
restated.

VENTURE MEDICAL INC. AND INFUSYSTEM II, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996


1.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Nature of Business - The combined financial statements include the
      accounts of Venture Medical, Inc. and Infusystem II, Inc. (the Companies).
      The Companies are related through common ownership, officers and basically
      identical business activities. The shareholders own controlling interests
      in other entities which are not included in this presentation. The
      Companies are closely-held Michigan corporations whose principal business
      activity consists of the rental of medical infusion pumps. The leases are
      on a month-to-month basis and are treated as operating leases.

      Principles of Combination - The accompanying financial statements include
      the accounts of Venture Medical, Inc. and Infusystem II Inc. (a group of S
      corporations under common control). All significant intercompany balances
      and transactions have been eliminated in the combined financial
      statements.

      Revenue Recognition - Rental revenue from medical infusion pumps is
      recognized as earned over the term of the rental agreement.

      Accounts Receivable - The Companies bill individuals, various insurance
      companies and governmental third-party reimbursers for rental of medical
      infusion pumps. These third parties reimburse the Companies at contractual
      amounts which often differ from the Companies' established rates.
      Accordingly, the Companies record the rental invoice at full face value at
      the time of billing and record an allowance for the difference between the
      billed amount and the estimated collectible amount based upon the
      anticipated reimbursement rates. This allowance also encompasses the
      allowance for doubtful accounts for the Companies.

      Inventories - Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (determined on
      a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

      Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Companies extend credit in their
      normal course of business primarily to Medicare, Medicaid and numerous
      health insurance companies of patients located throughout North America.
      Aggregate revenue from Medicare amounted to approximately 43% and 45% of
      net revenue for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
      There can be no assurance that reimbursement rates from such payors will
      continue to be available at the current levels. Changes in the
      reimbursement policies or reductions in reimbursement rates could have a
      material adverse impact on the Companies.

      Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated or
      amortized using the double declining balance method over the estimated
      useful life of five years.

      Income Taxes - The Companies have elected by unanimous consent of the
      shareholders to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the
      Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Companies do not pay
      federal corporate income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the
      shareholders are liable for individual income taxes on their respective
      shares of the Companies' taxable income. Therefore, no provision or
      liability for federal income taxes is reflected in the combined financial
      statements.


                                                                               6

VENTURE MEDICAL INC. AND INFUSYSTEM II, INC.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 (CONTINUED)

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
      date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
      those estimates.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996
      combined financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.

      At December 31, 1997, the Companies had a $332,633 unused term loan
      commitment with a bank at 1.0% above the prime rate, to be drawn on for
      future purchases of infusion pumps and heart monitors.


3.    COMMON STOCK

      The following is a summary of the common stock of the Companies for the
      years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996:

      Venture Medical, Inc. - $.01 par value; 750,000 shares authorized; 250,000
      shares issued and outstanding.

      Infusystem II, Inc. - $1.00 par value, 60,000 shares authorized; 6,000
      shares issued and outstanding.


4.    LEASE COMMITMENT - RELATED PARTY

      The Companies lease their operating facility from a company owned by five
      shareholders. The building lease expires in December 1998. The minimum
      future payment required under the related party lease is $76,752.

      Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was
      $79,092 and $80,628, respectively.


5.    CONTINGENCIES

      During 1997, the Companies underwent a Medicare Region B audit. As part of
      its findings, Medicare Region B disagreed with the Companies' definition
      of intermittent use of infusion pumps and claimed that, as a result,
      Medicare Region B had overpaid for certain patient rentals. The Companies
      have retained outside counsel and believe that the Companies' definition
      of intermittent use and the related billings were appropriate based on
      applicable law. The Companies also believe that this position is supported
      by the policies and regulations of other Medicare regions. However, in the
      event that


                                                                               8

      Medicare Region B prevails, the Companies could be forced to refund
      applicable payments received from October 1, 1995 to the current time,
      plus penalties and interest, if assessed. If this occurs, other Medicare
      regions could take the same position and request refunds on amounts
      previously paid. In addition, a change in the ability to bill intermittent
      use of pumps would result in a reduction of the Companies' ongoing revenue
      stream, as it would no longer be profitable to serve certain customers.
      Although the Companies believe they have meritorious defenses against the
      Medicare Region B claim, the ultimate impact of the dispute, which could
      have a material adverse impact on the Companies, cannot be determined at
      the current time.

      The Companies are also involved in litigation in the ordinary course of
      business. The Companies believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters
      will not have a material impact on the Companies' financial position or
      results of operations.


6.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

      Through the end of 1995, the Companies had sponsored a defined
      contribution profit sharing plan which covered substantially all employees
      of the Companies. Effective January 1, 1996, the plan was amended to a
      401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all employees. The
      Companies' contributions to the plan are at the discretion of management
      and amounted to $25,962 and $27,667 for the years ended December 31, 1997
      and 1996, respectively.


7.    OTHER RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The Companies have uncollateralized advances to related companies, of
      $233,821 and $154,726, and advances from related companies, of $72,531 and
      $72,779, at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

      The Companies had related-party transactions during the years ended
      December 31, 1997 and 1996 with various entities in which the Companies'
      shareholders held ownership interest. Such transactions are summarized as
      follows:

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 (CONTINUED)

8.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On February 9, 1998, the Companies were acquired by I-Flow Corporation in
      a transaction accounted for as a purchase.


9.     RESTATEMENT

      Subsequent to the issuance of the Companies' 1996 combined financial
      statements, the Companies' management determined that there were errors in
      previously reported amounts principally related to revenue, accounts
      receivable and fixed assets. Restatement adjustments relate to errors in
      the calculation of contractual revenue adjustments, a failure to write off
      known bad debts, and improperly recorded disposals and acquisitions of
      fixed assets.

      The effects of the restatement on the combined financial statements are
      summarized as follows:
