                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
         all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
         which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
         the financial position of the Company at June 30, 1999 and the results
         of its operations and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended
         June 30, 1999 and 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in financial statements have been condensed or
         omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission although the Company believes that the disclosures
         in the financial statements are adequate to make the information
         presented not misleading.

         The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction
         with the financial statements of the Company included in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1999.

         Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform
         with the presentation at June 30, 1999.

2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consisted of the following as of June 30, 1999 and December

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In December 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 redefines
         earnings per share under generally accepted accounting principles.
         Under the new standard, primary net income per share is replaced by
         basic net income per share and fully diluted net income per share is
         replaced by diluted net income per share. All historical earnings per
         share information has been restated as required by SFAS No. 128.

         Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding during the periods
         presented.

         Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted
         average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
         during the periods presented assuming the conversion of all shares of
         the Company's convertible preferred stock into common stock and the
         exercise of all in-the-money stock options. Common equivalent shares
         have not been included where inclusion would be antidilutive.

5.       ACQUISITION OF INFUSYSTEMS II, INC. AND VENTURE MEDICAL, INC.

         On February 9, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
         Merger (the "Agreement") with, InfuSystems II, Inc. ("InfuSystem"),
         Venture Medical, Inc. ("VMI") and the shareholders of InfuSystem and
         VMI, contemplating the merger of InfuSystem and VMI with and into a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, VMI
         and InfuSystem merged (the "Merger") with the subsidiary effective as
         of February 11, 1998. The acquisition was accounted for under the
         purchase method of accounting and the purchase price has been allocated
         to the net assets acquired and goodwill.

         In the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of VMI and
         InfuSystems were exchanged for shares of Common Stock of the Company.
         The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company 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-closing 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 and were delivered to an
         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 during which time they will be subject to claims by
         the Company 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 of certain accounts receivable). At each of
         the six-month, one-year, eighteen-month and two-year anniversaries of
         the closing, if the value of the Company's Common Stock at such time is
         less than the value of its Common Stock as of the closing ($2.98 per
         share), then the Company will be obligated to pay additional amounts as
         merger consideration. Any additional amounts are to be calculated
         pursuant to the formula set forth in the Agreement. At the Company's
         election, it may pay such additional merger consideration by the
         issuance of additional shares of its Common Stock, in cash, or any
         combination thereof. In August 1998, the Company issued 234,806 shares
         of its Common Stock pursuant to the valuation floor provision for the
         six-month anniversary. There was no incremental value ascribed to these
         additional shares for purchase accounting of the acquisition. In March
         1999, the Company paid $286,081 pursuant to the valuation floor
         provision for the one-year anniversary.

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

         Certain disclosures made by the Company in this report and in other
         reports and statements released by the Company are and will be
         forward-looking in nature, such as comments that express the Company's
         opinions about trends and factors that may impact future operating
         results. Disclosures that use words such as the Company "believes,"
         "anticipates," or "expects" or use similar expressions are intended to
         identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to
         certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
         differ from those expected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
         reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no
         obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the
         occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully
         review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this
         report that seek to advise interested parties of the risks and other
         factors that affect the Company's business, as well as in the Company's
         periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with the Securities
         and Exchange Commission. The risks affecting the Company's business
         include reliance on the success of the home health care industry, the
         ability to penetrate hospital accounts, the health care reimbursement
         system in place now and in the future, competition in the industry,
         demand in foreign countries, customer credit risks, technological
         changes and product availability. Any such forward-looking statements,
         whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in
         context with the various disclosures made by the Company about its
         business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net revenues during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999
         were $7,338,000 and $13,555,000, respectively, compared to $5,897,000
         and $9,964,000 for the same periods in the prior year. In February
         1998, the Company acquired two new subsidiaries, InfuSystems II, Inc.
         and Venture Medical, Inc., both of which were national ambulatory
         infusion pump management and distribution companies based in Detroit,
         Michigan. These companies merged into InfuSystem, Inc. ("InfuSystem"),
         a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company. Rental revenues generated by
         InfuSystem, Inc. of $2,126,000 and $4,116,000 were included in net
         revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999,
         respectively. Revenues generated by InfuSystem, Inc., subsequent to the
         February 11, 1998 acquisition date, of $1,628,000 and $2,711,000 were
         included in net revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June
         1998, respectively.

         Net product revenues increased from $7,253,000 for the six months ended
         June 30, 1998 to $8,599,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of
         18%. Revenues in early 1998 were adversely affected by the
         restructuring of the Company's worldwide distribution network as well
         as existing high distributor inventory levels early in 1998, which
         caused a short-term decline in shipments of infusion products to the
         Company's previous distribution partners. As described below, several
         new distribution partners and new products were added in 1998 and 1999.
         These new distibutors contributed significantly to the increased
         product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with B. Braun
         Melsungen AG (G.BRN), a world leader in the manufacture and
         distribution of pharmaceuticals and infusion products, to distribute
         I-Flow's elastomeric infusion pumps in Western Europe, Eastern Europe,
         the Middle East, Asia Pacific, South America and Africa. The Company
         also entered into a similar agreement under which B. Braun of America,
         Inc. distributes I-Flow's elastomeric pumps to its full line IV
         solution customers in the United States.

         In May 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with dj Orthopedics
         LLC (formerly DonJoy, a division of Smith & Nephew, Inc.), a leading
         provider of orthopedic braces, to distribute the Company's recently
         introduced PainBuster in the United States and Canada for orthopedic
         surgery applications. I-Flow's PainBuster pain management system
         provides continuous infusion of a non-narcotic, local anesthetic
         directly into the intraoperative site for post-operative pain
         management. The agreement also


                                       9


<PAGE>   10

         calls for I-Flow to receive a nonrefundable $2 million licensing fee
         during 1999 and requires dj Orthopedics to make minimum purchases for
         1999 and beyond in order to maintain distribution rights. As of June
         30, 1999, the Company had received and recorded as revenue $800,000 in
         such licensing fees.

         In June 1999, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Ethicon
         Endo-Surgery, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson Company, under which Ethicon
         Endo-Surgery became the exclusive, worldwide distributor of I-Flow's
         disposable ON-Q pain management system, another new product for the
         pain management market, for all surgical applications (excluding
         orthopedics). The ON-Q pain management system infuses local anesthetics
         directly to the patient's primary source of post-operative pain. This
         multi-year agreement requires Ethicon Endo-Surgery to meet minimum
         purchase commitments to maintain exclusive distribution rights.

         The Company incurred cost of sales of $2,887,000 and $5,523,000 during
         the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, compared to
         $2,637,000 and $4,444,000 in the prior year, an increase of 9% and 24%,
         respectively. As a percentage of product sales, cost of sales was
         relatively unchanged compared to the same periods in the prior year.

         Selling and marketing expenses for the three and six-month periods
         ended June 30, 1999 increased over the same periods in the prior year
         by $13,000 or 1% and $198,000 or 10%, respectively. The six-month
         increase is primarily due to the addition of such expenses for
         InfuSystem for the entire six-month period in 1999 versus only a
         portion of the six-month period for 1998.

         General and administrative expenses for the three and six-month periods
         ended June 30, 1999 increased $410,000 or 25% and $801,000 or 28% from
         the same periods in the prior year. These increases are due primarily
         to increased personnel costs, insurance costs and various other costs
         associated with the growth in the business as well as the addition of
         InfuSystem for the entire six month period in 1999 compared to only a
         portion of the six-month period for 1998.

         Product development expenses for the three and six-month periods ended
         June 30, 1999 increased over the same period in the prior year by
         $53,000, or 23% and $84,000 or 19%, respectively due primarily to
         increased efforts on the new pain management products. The Company will
         continue to incur product development expenses as it continues its
         efforts to introduce new and improved technology and cost-efficient
         products into the market.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, funds of $4,067,000
         were provided by operating activities consisting of net income of
         $1,450,000 plus non-cash expenses of $1,220,000 and net changes in
         operating assets and liabilities of $1,397,000. These changes in
         operating assets and liabilities consisted of: (1) a decrease in
         accounts receivable of $1,201,000 due to improved collections, (2) a
         decrease in inventories of $35,000, (3) an decrease in prepaid expenses
         and other of $37,000 and (4) an increase in accounts payable, accrued
         expenses, and other liabilities of $124,000 due to an increase in
         deferred revenue.

         The Company used funds for investing activities during the six-month
         period ended June 30, 1999 aggregating $858,000. These expenditures
         consisted of $413,000 for acquiring furniture, fixtures and equipment
         for use in operations and $445,000 in intangible assets. The increase
         in intangibles included additional goodwill of $286,000 (see Note 5 of
         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and expenditures relating
         to patents.

         During the six month period ended June 30, 1999, funds of $1,371,000
         were used for financing activities consisting primarily of payments on
         notes payable net of borrowings of $868,000 and a net reduction on the
         Company's line of credit of $604,000. The Company also received
         proceeds for the exercise of stock options of $101,000.


                                       10


<PAGE>   11

         As of June 30, 1999, the Company had cash funds of $2,810,000 and net
         receivables of $6,289,000. Management believes the Company's funds are
         sufficient to provide for its short and long-term projected needs for
         operations. However, the Company may decide to sell additional equity
         or increase its borrowings in order to fund increased product
         development or for other purposes.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Many computer systems and software products are coded to accept only
         two digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields will
         need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates
         from 20th century dates. As a result, prior to the end of 1999,
         computer systems and/or software used in many companies may need to be
         upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements.

         The Company determined that it was necessary to modify or replace
         portions of its hardware and software so that its computer systems
         properly recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company believes
         that with these modifications and conversions, the Year 2000 issue can
         be managed, and the associated risks mitigated. The Company has
         received confirmation from vendors of certain software used for
         internal operations that current releases or upgrades are designed to
         be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has installed such upgrades to its
         current systems.

         The Company has contacted the companies on which I-Flow relies heavily
         to determine the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to such
         parties' failure to resolve their own Year 2000 issues. Where
         practicable, the Company will assess and attempt to mitigate its risks
         with respect to failure of these entities to be Year 2000 ready. The
         effect, if any, on the Company's results of operations from the failure
         of such parties to be Year 2000 ready is not reasonably estimable.

         The Company is in the process of evaluating its own products for
         potential Year 2000 issues and making such products Year 2000
         compliant. The vast majority of the Company's products are not date
         sensitive and the Company does not directly rely on any of its vendors'
         or customers' systems. The Company does not believe that there will be
         significant issues or costs associated with making its products Year
         2000 compliant. However, there can be no assurance that such products
         do not contain undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000
         date functions.

         The Company has been using both external and internal resources to
         reprogram or replace its software for the Year 2000 issues. To date,
         the amounts incurred and expensed for developing and carrying out the
         plan have not had a material effect on the Company's operations. The
         Company has substantially completed its Year 2000 modifications,
         including testing, and does not anticipate any material costs remaining
         for addressing the Year 2000 issue. Although the Company is not aware
         of any material operational issues or costs associated with preparing
         its products or internal information systems for the year 2000, there
         can be no assurances that the Company will not experience serious
         unanticipated negative consequences and/or material costs caused by
         undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its internal
         systems, which are composed predominantly of third party software and
         hardware.

         Should the Company be unable to completely mitigate internal and
         external Year 2000 risks, this could result in a system failure or
         miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
         other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send
         invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities at the
         Company or its vendors and suppliers. The Company believes, that under
         a worst case scenario, it could continue the majority of its normal
         business activities on a manual basis.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

         The Company has a subsidiary operation in Mexico. Accordingly, the
         Company is exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result
         from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes
         that this foreign currency market risk is not material.
