In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial

consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 4
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (ASFAS 128"), Earnings per Share, which
establishes a simplified computation of earnings per share (AEPS@). Under SFAS
128, primary EPS is replaced by basic EPS, and dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS is required for all entities with a complex capital structure. Basic
EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if stock options and other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance
of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For all periods
presented, the net earnings available to common shareholders and the weighted
average shares outstanding are the same for both basic and diluted EPS, since
the effects of the Company's and Cardiodyne's stock options would be
antidilutive. Basic and diluted EPS do not differ from earnings per share
previously presented.
NOTE 5
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company received $1,120,000 in net
proceeds from the sale of stock representing a total of 10% minority interest in
the Company's subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. A total of 5% of the minority
interest was from stock sold in October, 1996 and paid for in January, 1997 to a
related party; and 5% of the minority interest was from stock sold to a third
party and paid for in February, 1997. The Company's balance sheet includes a
liability which reflects the equity interest held by the minority shareholders.
This equity interest includes a portion of the losses incurred by the
subsidiary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential
risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business
conditions, government regulations governing medical device approvals and
manufacturing practices, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's
business strategy, delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold,
availability of suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain
customers, changes in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction
of new products, fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and
other risks and uncertainties currently unknown to management.
Method of Presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its 90% owned subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. (ACardiodyne@). The statement of
operations for the months ended December 31, 1996 has been restated to reflect
the sale of the assets of Poly-Optical Products, Inc. ("Poly"), the Company's
90% owned subsidiary, which were sold in an all cash transaction consummated on
January 31, 1997.
Quarter ended December 31, 1997 compared to quarter ended December 31, 1996.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased
3% from the same quarter of the previous year ($2,111,000 vs. $2,168,000). The
Company believes that the 3% decline in revenue was primarily due to the
continued tightness in hospital budgets for capital equipment in the United
States and the introduction of lower cost arthroscopic devices by competitors.
For the current quarter, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations
of $1,084,000, or $0.10 per share, based on 10,905,956 weighted average number
of shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $924,000 or $0.08 per share,
based on 10,895,117 weighted average number of shares outstanding, in the same
quarter of the previous year.
Cost of goods sold was 55% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
compared to 58% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues was the result of lower material and
warranty costs associated with the higher powered Holmium laser.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,343,000 to
$1,163,000, a decrease of $180,000 or 13.4%. The decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses is attributed to lower legal expenses.
Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended December 31, 1997,
increased 58% ($986,000 vs. $621,000) due to the increase in costs associated
with advanced development work on the new TMR laser system being developed by
Cardiodyne for the treatment of severe cardiac disease.
Interest income decreased by 41% to $57,000 for the current quarter, compared
with $97,000 for the same period of the prior year due to liquidations of
marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital decreased from $9,651,000 at September 30, 1997 to
$8,517,000 at December 31, 1997, of which $4,092,000 is cash and equivalents and
marketable securities. Management believes existing working capital is
sufficient to meet Trimedyne's operating needs for at least the next 12 months
provided no additional investment is made in Cardiodyne. Management has
implemented cost reductions at Trimedyne and will seek additional financing to
continue development of Cardiodyne's products, the success of which cannot be
assured. If funds for the latter purpose are not obtained, the Company will
require cut-backs in Cardiodyne's operating expenses or cease funding of
Cardiodyne's operations. Sources of additional financing include the sale of
equity securities of the Company or its subsidiaries and the sale or licensing
of certain patent rights.
