NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2002
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
Interim Reporting
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial
position as of March 31, 2002, as restated, and the results of operations and of
cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2002.
Results for the six months ended March 31, 2002, as restated, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
September 30, 2002.
While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these 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-KSB as amended.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses from operations throughout its recent past. At
March 31, 2002, the Company had working capital of approximately $1.2 million,
and excluding inventories, the Company's current liabilities exceed the current
liquid assets by $1.1 million. In addition, the Company's trade payables are
significantly past due. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with
respect to these matters include efforts to reduce certain of its expenses by
eliminating certain personnel positions, reducing certain overhead costs, and
raising additional capital. Sources of additional financing include the sale of
debt or equity securities of the Company, the sale of Cardiodyne and/or the sale
or licensing of certain patent rights. There is no assurance that additional
capital will be raised or obtained by the Company. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Restatement of Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The Company noted certain inventory discrepancies between the general ledger and
the perpetual inventory during the six months ended March 31, 2002. Management
is currently investigating the matter to determine the cause of the
discrepancies. The discrepancies amounted to approximately $324,000. Management
believes the impact of these discrepancies should be reported, based on net
sales and sales mix, equally amongst the first and second quarters of fiscal
2002 in the amount of approximately $162,000 per quarter. The effect on the
three month period ended March 31, 2002 and the six-month period ended March 31,
2002 is as follows:

=========== ========== =========== ==========
The Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2001, to comply with accounting standards generally
accepted in the United States.
6
During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Company reversed sales and
related costs totaling $120,000 because the sales did not meet its revenue
recognition criteria. The Company recorded an additional charge to cost of sales
of $438,000 and $738,000 representing provisions for excess and obsolete
inventories and excess capitalized overhead costs, respectively, for the six
months ended March 31, 2001. The Company recorded a charge to operations
totaling $660,000 for the value of "make-up" shares of common stock issued
pursuant to an anti-dilution clause related to its private placement in fiscal
2000, which was triggered by the acquisition of MST. Management believes the
bases used for reporting these charges to operations constitute errors requiring
restatement of effects of such charges on operations during the six months ended
March 31, 2001. The effects of the Company's restatement on their results of
operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2001, are as follows:

Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires the use of
the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired
intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet
certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001, and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July
1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142 that the Company reclassify
the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in
SFAS 141.
SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize
goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In
addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in
accordance with the guidance in SFAS 121. SFAS 142 requires the Company to adopt
this standard as of October 1, 2002 applying to all goodwill and other
intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were
initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional
goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. Management has
not determined the impact of adoption of SFAS 142.

NOTE 3 - Earnings Per Share Information
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 stock options would be antidilutive.
Basic and diluted EPS do not differ from earnings per share previously
presented. The number of shares which would have been included in the weighted
average shares outstanding had the effects been dilutive during the six months
ended March 31, 2002, as restated, were approximately 100,000 shares each.
NOTE 4 - Intangible Assets
The Company's intangible assets consist of goodwill relating to Mobile Surgical
Technologies, Inc. ("MST"). Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over
ten years. During the six months ended March 31, 2002, as restated, amortization
expense was $22,000. No impairments of goodwill have been charged to operations
since MST is generating positive cash flows from operations.
NOTE 5 - Contingencies
The Company elected not to pay the minimum quarterly royalty for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, under a patent license in urology from Lumenis, Inc.
("Lumenis"), as sales of products covered by the license were insignificant. The
license, by its terms, terminated on September 30, 2000, due to said
non-payment, and the Company ceased marketing products covered by the license.
In January 2002, Lumenis filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Federal
District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, alleging
the Company contributed to customers' infringing Lumenis' patents. The Company
believes the lawsuit is entirely without merit and will be rigorously defended.
The Company has filed counterclaims against Lumenis, including claims alleging
violation of the anti-trust laws, price fixing, trade libel, patent misuse and
that Lumenis infringed two the of Company's patents.
At March 31, 2002, the Company is disputing claims of two lawsuits, one filed by
a supplier and one filed by a building contractor. The Company believes the
supplier's suit includes charges for materials not delivered, and the Company
suffered expenses due to delays caused by the building contractor that offset,
at least partially, the amount claimed. The total amount claimed in each suit is
included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2002.
8
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in
various pending or threatened legal actions from vendors. The litigation process
is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters
might have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition and/or results
of operations of the Company. However, in the opinion of the Company's
management, matters currently pending or threatened against the Company are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 6 Other Income (Expense)
During the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company received a reimbursement
of legal fees of $51,000 related to the successful defense of the litigation
brought on by the co-inventor of the Company's Urolase product. Additionally,
the Company reversed approximately $30,000 in accruals which did not materialize
in payments by the Company.
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-QSB 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, its
wholly owned subsidiary Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST") from the date
of acquisition, November 30, 2000 and its 90% owned subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc.
("Cardiodyne").
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
Revenue recognition and allowances for doubtful accounts
We recognize revenue when title and risk of ownership have passed to the buyer.
Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated based on estimates of losses
related to customer receivable balances. Estimates are developed by using
standard quantitative measures based on historical losses, adjusting for current
economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts
for risk of loss. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and
assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though we
consider these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in
specific markets in which we operate could have a material effect on reserve
balances required.
Inventories
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, including material, labor and factory
overhead. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal
to the salvage value of the obsolete inventory. Product obsolescence may be
caused by changes in technology, discontinuance of a product line, replacement
products in the marketplace, or other competitive situations.
9
Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets
We assess the fair value and recoverability of our long-lived assets, including
goodwill, whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an
asset may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result
from its use and eventual disposition. In doing so, we make assumptions and
estimates regarding future cash flows and other factors to make our
determination. The fair value of our long-lived assets and goodwill is dependent
upon the forecasted performance of our business and the overall economic
environment. When we determine that the carrying value of our long-lived assets
and goodwill may not be recoverable, we measure any impairment based upon a
forecasted discounted cash flow method or fair value. If these forecasts are not
met, we may have to record impairment charges not previously recognized.
Quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2001.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased
$303,000 or 15% from the same quarter of the previous year, $1,978,000 vs.
$1,675,000. Net sales from lasers decreased by $48,000 or 9% from $540,000 in
the prior year quarter to $492,000 in the current quarter. Net sales from
delivery and disposable devices decreased by $64,000 or 7% from $848,000 to
$784,000 for the same quarters. Net sales from service and rental decreased by
$198,000 or 34% from $581,000 to $383,000 for the same quarters. The decrease is
due to the departure of a major participant in the revenue share program.
Additionally, the acquisition of MST contributed approximately $183,000 to
revenues in the current quarter, compared to $165,000 in the prior year quarter.
Cost of goods sold was 57% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2002
compared to 79% for the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of the Company's
cost reduction efforts. In March 2001, the Company relocated its manufacturing
facilities and began reducing costs. Furthermore, costs of sales in the second
quarter ending March 31, 2001 contained provisions for excess and obsolete
inventories totaling $219,000 and a charge for excess physical inventories and
capitalized overhead costs totaling $370,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,367,000 to
$747,000, a decrease of $620,000 or 45%. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily attributed to cost containment measures
including employee layoffs of $428,000, including two executives, and reductions
in advertising and marketing of approximately $85,000.
Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2002,
decreased $149,000 or 27% to $393,000 from $542,000. The decrease is primarily
attributed to the Company reducing the product development efforts of Cardiodyne
and other projects, along with employee attrition.
Other expense decreased by $163,000 or 101% from $161,000 in the second quarter
of fiscal 2001, which included a loss on investments of $191,000, to other
income of $2,000 in the second quarter of 2002. All investments were sold in
fiscal 2001.
The net loss for the current quarter was $412,000 or $0.02 per share, on
13,489,760 shares outstanding, a reduction of 75% from the net loss for the same
quarter of the prior year of $1,663,000 or $0.13 per share, which included
charges and adjustments of $589,000 or $0.04 per share, on 12,447,811 shares
outstanding.
Six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to six months ended March 31, 2001.
During the six months ended March 31, 2002, Trimedyne's net revenues decreased
$103,000 or 3% from the same period of the previous year, $3,615,000 vs.
$3,512,000. Net sales from lasers decreased by $59,000 or 5% from $1,181,000 in
the prior year to $1,122,000 in the current six month period. Net sales from
delivery and disposable devices decreased by $137,000 or 8% from $1,743,000 to
$1,606,000 for the six-month periods ending 2001 and 2002, respectively. Net
sales from service and rental decreased by $55,000 or 34% from $848,000 to
$793,000 for the six-month periods ending 2001 and 2002, respectively. The
decrease is due to the Company's cancelling a revenue sharing agreement with a
rental company, due to its failure to timely pay amounts due to the Company.
Additionally, the acquisition of MST contributed approximately $356,000 in the
current six-month period compared to $221,000 in the prior year six-month
period.
10
Cost of goods sold was 58% of net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2002
compared to 79% for the six months ended March 2001. The decrease in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of the Company's
cost reduction efforts, which began upon the relocation of its manufacturing
facilities in March 2001. Furthermore, costs of sales in the six months ended
March 31, 2001 contained provisions for excess and obsolete inventories totaling
$438,000 and a charge for excess physical inventories and capitalized overhead
costs totaling $738,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $2,696,000 to
$1,475,000, a decrease of $1,221,000 or 45%. The decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses is primarily attributed to cost containment measures
including employee layoffs representing reductions of approximately $595,000,
reductions in advertising and marketing of approximately $173,000, and reduction
of legal fees of $237,000 resulting from the settlement of the Company's lawsuit
against C. R. Bard.
Research and development expenditures for the six months ended March 31, 2002,
decreased $546,000 or 41% to $788,000 from $1,334,000. The decrease is primarily
attributed to the Company reducing the product development efforts of Cardiodyne
and other projects, as well as employee attrition.
Other expense decreased by $841,000 to income of $100,000 in the current
six-month period from expense of $741,000 in the six-month period of fiscal
2001, which included $660,000 charge for the value of "make-up" shares of common
stock issued pursuant to an anti-dilution clause related to the private
placement in fiscal 2000, triggered by the acquisition of MST. Income in the
current six-month period includes approximately $51,000 in proceeds from the
successful settlement of a lawsuit filed by the co-inventor of the Company's
Urolase(R) product, who was seeking a share of the settlement of the lawsuit
which the Company brought against C.R. Bard, and $17,000 from the sale of fixed
assets.
The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2002, as restated, was $687,000
or $0.05 per share, a reduction of 86% from the net loss for the same quarter of
the prior year of $4,171,000 or $0.34 per share, which included charges and
adjustments of $1,956,000 or $0.16 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The Company's working capital decreased from $1,622,000 at September 30, 2001 to
$1,217,000 at March 31, 2002. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $7,000 to
$91,000 at March 31, 2002, from $84,000 at September 30, 2001.
During the six-month period ended March 31, 2002, net cash used in operating
activities was $143,000 which resulted principally from losses incurred of
$687,000, offset by non-cash adjustments for depreciation and amortization of
$124,000 and a charge of $25,000 from the modification of certain stock option
grants.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the current six-month period
was $35,000 from the sale of fixed assets.
Net cash provided from financing activities during the six-month period ending
March 31, 2002, was $115,000, which included a loan of $150,000 from the chief
executive officer offset by payments on long-term obligations totaling
approximately $35,000.
The Company has noted certain inventory discrepancies between the general ledger
and the perpetual inventory during the six months ended March 31, 2002.
Management believes these discrepancies are due to over-absorption of overhead
costs, resulting in inconsistencies in the standard costing of products sold
during the six month period ending March 31, 2002. Management has allocated
these additional inventory costs totaling $324,000 to the first and second
quarters of fiscal 2002 based upon net sales and sales mix.

The Company has incurred losses from operations throughout its recent past.
Because of the Company's losses during 2001, the Company's liquid assets
declined dramatically and trade payables have become significantly past due.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans with respect to these matters include
efforts to reduce certain of its expenses (personnel and overhead) and raising
additional capital. Sources of additional financing include the sale of equity
securities of the Company, the sale of Cardiodyne and/or the sale or licensing
of certain patent rights. There are no assurances that additional capital will
be raised or obtained by the Company. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
