(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trimedyne, Inc., a Nevada corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary, Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST"), a Texas corporation, and its 90% owned inactive subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. ("Cardiodyne"), a Nevada corporation, (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management's Plans

We have introduced a new line of Single Use optical fibers to supplement our line of Reusable optical fibers. These optical fibers are used with our Holmium lasers and Holmium lasers with compatible connectors made by others for the fragmentation of urinary stones in the kidney, ureter and bladder and biliary stones in the gall bladder. Many hospitals in the United States and other developed countries prefer having a new, sterile optical fiber for each stone case, rather than having to clean, clip and re-sterilize a reusable optical fiber after each case.

We are exploring various avenues to reduce our cost of manufacturing Lasers, expand the distribution of our products, particularly our new VaporMAX Side Firing Fiber and Single Use Optical Fibers, to increase our revenues and improve our profit margins. We are continuing to seek licensees of our patents and proprietary technologies. There is, of course, no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

The Company's working capital has declined and we have incurred losses from from operations during the past four years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or achieve sales growth to offset these losses, or that the Company will again become profitable. Based on its current cash flow projections, the Company expects its existing resources will be sufficient to fund operations through March 31, 2012. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, management is unsure if the Company's liquidity and anticipated revenues will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due for the next 12 months from the balance sheet date. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If necessary, we will raise additional debt and/or equity capital, sell some of our assets, reduce our costs by eliminating certain personnel positions and reducing certain overhead costs in order to fund operations. There is no assurance that our efforts to do so will be successful.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. 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 June 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Results for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2011.

While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of stock-based awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions regarding future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the Company's historical volatilities of its common stock. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, there were 469,000 options granted and 30,000 shares of Common Stock granted.

NOTE 3 - Notes Payable to Related Parties

Senior Secured Convertible Note Payable to Related Party

On August 20, 2010, Marvin P. Loeb, the Company's Chairman and CEO, loaned the Company $500,000 evidenced by a 6% Senior Secured Convertible Note with a principal amount of $500,000 (the "Senior Note"), which was secured by all of the assets of the Company, and was due August 19, 2015. The Senior Note could have been redeemed at any time, but the CEO agreed note to redeem the Senior Note, without the written consent of the Company, for a period of two years from September 30, 2010. Thus, the Senior Note was reflected as a long-term obligation as of March 31, 2011 on the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

The Senior Note could have been converted at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.21 per share. The conversion price equaled the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the purchase of the Senior Note, and thus no beneficial conversion feature was recorded at September 30, 2010. However, the Senior Note contained an anti-dilution provision whereby the price would reset in the event of the sale or issuance of shares at a price lower than the conversion price set forth in the Senior Note. Thus, the Company determined that this provision caused the conversion feature to be bifurcated from the Senior Note and treated as a derivative and accounted for at its fair value. The Company revalued the derivative at each reporting period.

At September 30, 2010, management determined the fair market value of the conversion feature, using the Lattice model, at $94,000 and recorded the offset as a discount to the Senior Note.

Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion feature as determined by the Lattice model was affected by our stock price on the date of the issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables included, but were not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the Senior Note, actual and projected redemptions and conversion price resets.

Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to expected remaining life of the Senior Note. We believed this method would produce an estimate that was representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of the conversion feature of the Senior Note. We had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the conversion feature was likely to differ materially from historical volatility. Volatility used in the calculation ranged from a low of 124% in year one to a high of 301% in year five. Management estimated that the probability of the Senior Note being redeemed was 0% increasing by 10% per quarter.

On June 21, 2011, the CEO called the Senior Note and accrued interest. On the date of redemption, the Company revalued the derivative liability at $53,054 and had a remaining discount of $88,940 which were recorded as gain on extinguishment of debt. At June 30, the Company recorded a gain on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the change in fair value of the derivative liability between September 30, 2010 and the date of extinguishment.

The Company had been amortizing the discount over a period of two years, the term of the CEO's original commitment not to call the Senior Note, using the effective interest method. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company amortized $10,000 of the discount to interest expense.

Secured Note Payable to Related Party

On March 3, 2011, the Company was loaned $250,000 by Marcia H. Yeik Irrevocable Living Trust (the “Trust”), Marcia H. Yeik trustee thereof, the daughter of Marvin Loeb, CEO and Chairman, and the wife of Glenn D. Yeik, President and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The loan was evidenced by a Note Payable (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $250,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum, the Note requires monthly payment through April 2, 2013. The proceeds from the Note were used to pay accounts payable due to a vendor in connection with the purchase of property and equipment for MST. The Note was subordinated to the security interest of the holder of the Company’s Senior Note, and is payable in increments applied to the principal at $10,416 per month along with accrued interest on the remaining principal over the life of the Note.

(UNAUDITED)

On June 29, 2011 the Note was amended by the Board of Directors to an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum effective June 27, 2011, and the Trust has the right to call the Note at any time and demand immediate payment to the Trust of all principal then unpaid on the Note plus all accrued interest due thereon. The change did not have a significant change on the carrying value of the note.

NOTE 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are subject to various claims and actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that the resolution of any future litigation may adversely affect us.

To avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation, on November 24, 2010, we settled the lawsuit filed against us and others by CardioFocus. We paid CardioFocus $175,000, entered into mutual releases and the lawsuit was dismissed. This settlement expense was accrued and included in other expense for the year ended September 30, 2010 and paid during the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

The Company is currently a co-defendant in one product liability lawsuit. The case, filed on behalf of Paula Tsakonas, plaintiff, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois on February 23, 2011, alleges injuries that occurred in connection to a medical procedure in which the Company's laser was allegedly used and names Spiros G. Stamelos, MD, Stamelos Bros., LTD., an Illinois Corporation, doing business as Advanced Orthopaedic Associates, Lakeshore Surgery Center, LLC, an Illinois corporation and Trimedyne, Inc. as defendants. The case is currently in litigation. The Company has insurance to cover product liability claims. This insurance provides the Company with $5,000,000 of coverage for each occurrence with a general aggregate of $5,000,000. Trimedyne's liability is limited to a maximum of $25,000 per occurrence unless the judgment against the Company exceeds the insurance coverage. In such case, Trimedyne would be liable for any liability in excess of $5,000,000. Management has recorded a loss contingency for this claim in the amount of $25,000 based on the deductible under the insurance policy. Management is not accruing any additional provision for this claim, as it is not expected that this claim will exceed the limits of the insurance coverage.

Guarantees and Indemnities

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of California. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has indemnified its users of lasers for certain claims arising from the use of the lasers. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency of the U.S. Government that administers the Medicare Program, does not reimburse for thermal intradiscal procedures to treat spinal discs including the use of the Company's pulsed Holmium Lasers. Since most people suffering from a herniated or ruptured spinal disc are below Medicare age, we do not believe CMS's decision will have an adverse impact on our business.

NOTE 6 - Segment Information

The Company's segments consist of individual companies managed separately with each manager reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. Revenues, and operating or segment profit, are reflected net of inter-segment sales and profits. Segment profit is comprised of net sales less operating expenses. Other income and expense and income taxes are not allocated and reported by segment since they are excluded from the measure of segment performance reviewed by management.

Data with respect to these operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2010 contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to conform them to actual results or to changes in circumstances or expectations.

OVERVIEW

Trimedyne, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "our" or "us") is engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of 80 and 30 watt Holmium "cold" pulsed lasers ("Lasers") and a variety of disposable and reusable, fiber optic laser energy delivery devices ("Fibers", "Needles" and "Tips") for use in a broad array of medical applications.

Our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Tips have been cleared for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in orthopedics, urology, ear, nose and throat surgery, gynecology, gastrointestinal surgery, general surgery and other medical specialties. Many of the medical procedures in which our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Tips are used are being reimbursed by Medicare and many insurance companies and health plans.

Our 100% owned subsidiary, Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST"), is engaged in the rental of lasers, along with the services of a trained operator and, if requested, the provision of applicable Fibers, Needles or Tips, on a "fee per case" basis to hospitals, surgery centers, group practices and individual physicians in Texas and nearby areas.

The principal market for our Lasers and Side Firing Needles is presently in orthopedics to treat herniated (bulging) and ruptured lumbar, thoracic and cervical discs in the spine, two of the four major causes of lower back, neck and leg pain, typically on an outpatient basis. Our Lasers and Tips are also used in orthopedics to treat damage in joints, such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle and wrist, in outpatient, arthroscopic procedures.

The Company's Lasers and Fibers are also used in Urology to fragment stones in the Kidney, ureter or bladder. The Company's new VaporMAX(R) Side Firing Optical Fiber device is also used to vaporize a portion of the male prostate which is used with the Company’s lasers in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia or "BPH", commonly referred to as an "enlarged prostate."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined "critical accounting policies" as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates relate to the fair value of warrant liabilities. We also have other key accounting estimates and policies, but we believe that these other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period. For additional information see Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to our reviewed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and our annual audited financial statements appearing on Form 10-K. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Method of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trimedyne, Inc., MST and its 90% owned subsidiary, Cardiodyne.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to three months ended June 30, 2010

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, net revenues were $1,409,000 as compared to $1,515,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $106,000 or 7% decrease largely due to the current worldwide recession that is impacting sales of medical products used in elective procedures. Net sales from lasers and accessories increased by $53,000 or 50% to $158,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $105,000 in the same period of the prior year. Net sales from delivery and disposable devices decreased by $98,000 or 15% to $563,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $661,000 in the same period of the prior year. Export sales increased by $75,000 or 63% to $194,000 from $119,000 for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in export sales was primarily due to a increase in sales to the international market primarily for use in spine procedures. Net sales from service and rental decreased by $61,000 or 8% to $688,000 from $749,000 for the same quarters. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in billable services at our facility located in California.

Cost of sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $882,000 or 63% of net revenues as compared to $771,000 or 51% the prior year quarter. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily the result of reductions in manufacturing staff and the reduction of overhead resulting from the favorable renegotiation of the lease related to our facility during the prior year quarter. Gross profit from the sale of lasers and accessories was 28% as compared to 2% for the prior year three-month period. The increase in gross profit for lasers and accessories was primarily the result of the sale of two lasers whose costs were previously reserved. Gross profit from the sale of delivery and disposable devices was 44% as compared to 55% for the prior year three-month period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a volumnizing difference due to the 15% decrease in delivery and disposable device sales during the current year quarter. Gross profit from revenue received from service and rentals was 34% as compared to 50% for the prior year three-month period. The lower gross profit for the current quarter was primarily attributable a decrease in billable service revenue at our California facility while maintaining existing overhead for our service department.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the current quarter to $707,000 from $628,000 in the prior year quarter, an increase of $79,000 or 13%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the current three-month period was primarily due to increases of $51,000 in payroll related expense, recruiting expense of $31,000, travel expenses of $18,000, $16,000 in expense incurred for stock-based compensation, and $10,000 in expense incurred for outside services, offset by reductions of $31,000 in commissions, and $16,000 in other expenses incurred for administration.

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased $6,000 or 2% to $248,000 as compared to $254,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Other income, net, decreased by $79,000 or 100% to $0 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from $79,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in other income was primarily the result of a reduction of royalty income of $41,000, an increase in interest expense of $10,000, which were the result of notes from related parties created for the loaning of funds to the Company, and a $36,000 loss due to the extinguishment of a 6% Senior Secured Convertible Note due to the CEO of the Company offset by a gain of $32,000 on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

For the current quarter, the Company had a net loss of $429,000 or $0.02 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $62,000 or $0.00 per share, based on 18,365,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the same quarter of the previous year.

Nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2010

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, net revenues were $4,924,000 as compared to $4,896,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $28,000 or 1% increase. Net revenues from lasers and accessories increased by $307,000 or 50% to $925,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 from $618,000 in the same period of the prior year. Net revenues from delivery and disposable devices decreased by $203,000 or 9% to $1,963,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,166,000 for the same period of the prior year. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 export sales increased by $153,000 or 18% to $997,000 as compared to $844,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in export sales was primarily due to a increase in sales to the international market primarily for use in spine procedures. Net sales from service and rental decreased by $76,000 or 4% to $2,036,000 from $2,112,000 for the same quarters in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in billable services at our facility located in California.

Cost of sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $3,011,000 or 61% of net revenues as compared to $2,973,000 or 61% for the same period of the prior year. Gross profit from the sale of lasers and accessories was 24% as compared to 6% for the prior year nine-month period. The increase in gross profit for lasers and accessories was primarily the result of the sale of two lasers whose costs were previously reserved. Gross profit from the sale of delivery and disposable devices was 46% as compared to 43% for the prior year nine-month period. The increase in gross profit as compared to the prior year nine-month period was primarily the result of a higher percentage of overhead being absorbed by lower production rates resulting from a temporary shutdown of production due to repairs in the manufacturing facility during the prior year nine-month period. Gross profit from revenue received from service and rentals was 39% as compared to 46% for the prior year nine-month period. The lower gross profit for the current nine-month period was primarily attributable a decrease in billable service revenue at our California facility while maintaining existing overhead for our service department.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,123,000 as compared to $1,916,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $207,000 or 11% increase. The increase in selling, general and administration expense was primarily due to Increases in legal expense of $75,000, marketing expense of $52,000, recruiting expense of $33,000, payroll related expense of $31,000 due to an increase in sales staff, and $16,000 in stock based compensation.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, research and development expenses decreased to $629,000 from $875,000 in the prior year nine-month period, a decrease of $246,000 or 28%.

Other income decreased by $164,000 or 78% to $47,000 in the current nine-month period from $211,000 in the previous nine-month period of fiscal 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, royalty income decreased $114,000 to $91,000 or 56% as compared to $205,000 in the prior year nine-month period. Interest income increased $2,000 or 200% to $3,000 as compared to $1,000 during the same prior year period due to a higher cash balance in interest bearing accounts. Interest expense increased by $27,000 to $53,000 or 104% during the current nine-month period as compared to $26,000 during the same period during the prior year, which were the result of notes from related parties created for the loaning of funds to the Company. In addition, the Company recognized a $36,000 loss due to the extinguishment of a 6% Senior Secured Convertible Note due to the CEO of the Company offset by a gain of $43,000 on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had net loss of $797,000 or $0.04 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $669,000, or $0.04 per share, based on 18,365,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the same period of the previous year, resulting from the above mentioned factors.

Liquidity and Capital

At June 30, 2011, the Company had working capital of $3,554,000 compared to $5,025,000 at the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Cash decreased by $1,220,000 to $1,308,000 from $2,528,000 at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2011, net cash used by operating activities was $499,000. Net cash used in investing activities was $415,000 primarily for the purchase of equipment for MST. Net cash used in financing activities during the same nine month period was $306,000, which primarily was the result of payments on debt of $525,000, which included the extinguishment of a Senior Note of $500,000 and the remainder for the servicing of loans for equipment and certain insurance policies, offset by the Company borrowing $250,000 at a more favorable interest rate from a related party to pay a vendor for the purchase of property and equipment for MST.

The Company's working capital has declined and we have incurred losses from from operations during the past four years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or achieve sales growth to offset these losses, or that the Company will again become profitable. Based on its current cash flow projections, the Company expects its existing resources will be sufficient to fund operations through December 31, 2011. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, management is unsure if the Company's liquidity and anticipated revenues will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due for the next 12 months from the balance sheet date. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

If necessary, we will raise additional debt and/or equity capital, sell some of our assets, reduce our costs by eliminating certain personnel positions and reducing certain overhead costs in order to fund operations. There is no assurance that our efforts to do so will be successful.

PART II

Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently a defendant in one product liability lawsuit. The case, filed on behalf of Paula Tsakonas, plaintiff, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois on February 23, 2011, alleges injuries that occurred in connection to a medical procedure in which the Company's laser was allegedly used and names Spiros G. Stamelos, MD, Stamelos Bros., LTD., an Illinois Corporation, doing business as Advanced Orthopaedic Associates, Lakeshore Surgery Center, LLC, an Illinois corporation and Trimedyne, Inc. as defendants. The case is currently in litigation. The Company has insurance to cover product liability claims. This insurance provides the Company with $5,000,000 of coverage for each occurrence with a general aggregate of $5,000,000. Trimedyne's liability is limited to a maximum of $25,000 per occurrence unless the judgment against the Company exceeds the insurance coverage. In such case, Trimedyne would be liable for any liability in excess of $5,000,000. Management has recorded a loss contingency for this claim in the amount of $25,000 based on the deductible under the insurance policy. Management is not accruing any additional provision for this claim, as it is not expected that this claim will exceed the limits of the insurance coverage.
