Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed by the Company in fiscal year 2011.

GENERAL

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 " Switch Tips") for use in a broad array of medical applications.

Our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips have been cleared for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for use in orthopedics, urology, ear, nose and throat ("ENT") surgery, gynecology, gastrointestinal surgery, general surgery and other medical specialties. Many of the medical procedures in which our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips are used are being reimbursed by Medicare and most insurance companies and health plans, but these products are not being reimbursed by Medicare and many other third-party payers for their use in spinal applications.

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 Switch Tips, on a "fee per case" basis to hospitals, surgery centers, group practices and individual physicians in Texas and nearby areas. MST's revenues and those of our field service department represented about 35% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The principal market for our 80 watt and 30 watt Holmium Lasers and Side Firing Needles is presently in orthopedics to treat herniated (bulging) and ruptured spinal discs (lumbar, thoracic and cervical), two of the four major causes of lower back, neck and leg pain. Our minimally-invasive spinal procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis. Our Lasers and Switch Tips are also used in orthopedics to treat damage in joints, such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle and wrist, in minimally-invasive, outpatient, arthroscopic procedures.

We introduced a fast vaporizing, very durable Side Firing VaporMAX(R) Laser Fiber for use in the Urology field with our 80 watt Holmium Lasers, (and 80 watt and 100 watt Holmium Lasers made by others with compatible connectors) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia or “BPH”, commonly called an enlarged prostate (See “THE ENLARGED PROSTATE MARKET”). We also sell Single Use and Reusable FlexMax(R) optical fibers (“Fibers”) for use with our 80 watt and 30 watt Holmium Lasers (and those made by others with compatible connectors) for fragmenting urinary stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder.

We have recruited and trained a small number of independent sales representatives (“Sales Reps”) to market our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips in the United States, but sales in this high unemployment, disappointing economy are more difficult to achieve than in the past. In developing countries, Lasers appear easier to sell than in the United States.

THE UROLOGY MARKET

While our Lasers and Fibers are presently used in urology to fragment stones in the kidney, ureter and bladder, we have developed a new, patented VaporMAX(R) Side Firing Laser Fiber for use with our 80 watt Holmium Lasers (and 80 watt and 100 watt Holmium Lasers made by others with a compatible connector) to vaporize a portion of the prostate to treat BPH or an enlarged prostate. Enlargement of the prostate causes difficulty in urinating and an urgency to urinate, which often causes the patient to wake-up one or more times each night, interrupting his sleep.

We are marketing this VaporMAX(R) Side Firing Laser Fiber through our limited number of Sales Reps in the United States and by distributors in certain foreign countries. However, due to our very small sales force and limited capital resources to allocate to marketing, sales of these Fibers have been less than expected.

LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH LUMENIS

In August 2010, we entered into a Settlement and a Non-Exclusive License Agreement with Lumenis, Ltd. of Yokneam, Isreal (“Lumenis”), covering two of our patents. The License Agreement expires on July 31, 2014, the date on which the last of the patents expires. Lumenis is the largest manufacturer of medical lasers. Royalties paid under the License Agreement in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 were $96,000.

THE ENLARGED PROSTATE MARKET

An enlarged prostate affects about 50% of men over age 55, and a higher percentage of men at advanced ages. While drugs are used to treat millions of men with an enlarged prostate, when the drugs are no longer able to adequately treat this condition, removal of a portion of the prostate is needed to permit proper urine flow.

Each year, about 200,000 men in the United States and an estimated one million men in foreign countries are treated with a procedure using radiofrequency ("RF") energy or laser energy to remove a portion of the prostate to permit proper urine flow. While RF energy has been used for more than 50 years to do this, today, laser vaporization or resection of the prostate is becoming increasingly popular. The laser procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, with minimal adverse affects, whereas the RF procedure usually entails a hospital stay, significant bleeding, a variety of adverse effects and a recuperation period of days to weeks.

Our VaporMAX(R) Side Firing Laser Fiber has been cleared for sale by the FDA for use in Orthopedics, Urology and a variety of other medical specialties.

Due to our very small sales force and limited capital resources, sales of these Fibers have been less than expected, which has resulted in our having to reserve $173,000 of excess inventory of this product. However, we are concentrating our efforts to engage other companies to either enter into an OEM agreement with us or become a partner in marketing the product.

PATENTED DEVICES

We have been issued two U.S. Patents on an improvement to our Side Firing Laser Fibers, which we believe has the potential to shorten the time to treat an enlarged prostate and reduce or eliminate most of the adverse effects of both RF and laser resection or vaporization of the prostate. In addition, this new Fiber has the potential to reduce adverse effects in the treatment of herniated or ruptured spinal discs, as well as in other applications. Our improved Side Firing Fiber has been cleared for sale by the FDA, but is not yet been marketed, as it would be too costly for us to complete the FDA’s design control requirements, the testing required for the CE Mark and to market it.

As a result, we are attempting to interest established companies in the Orthopedic/Spinal field to market it for us.

We have also been issued two U.S. Patents on an improved optical fiber device which we believe could shorten the time for fragmenting stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder. Again, we are seeking an established company in the Urology field to conduct a clinical trial to determine its value in exchange for marketing rights to exclusively distribute the product.

THE LITHOTRIPSY MARKET IN UROLOGY

Many people in the Unites States and elsewhere throughout the world develop stones in the kidney, some of which pass into the ureter, or develop in the bladder. Holmium Lasers are ideal for fragmenting these stones, as our Holmium Lasers produce very short, 350 microsecond pulses of energy, which can fragment stones of any hardness, composition or color.

We manufacture Single use (disposable) and Reusable FLEXMAX(R) straight-ahead firing Fibers, for use in lithotripsy procedures. While many of our reusable fibers can be sterilized and reused 20-30 times or more, the ability to achieve this is highly dependent upon strict adherence to the instructions for use.

THE SPINAL DISC MARKET

Our 80 watt and 30 watt Holmium Lasers (and those of others with compatible connectors) can be used to transmit laser energy through our Side Firing Laser Needles to treat herniated (contained) or ruptured (non-contained) spinal discs (lumbar, thoracic or cervical) in minimally- invasive procedures, which are typically performed on an outpatient basis in as little as 45 minutes, usually with only local anesthesia. The lower back, leg and neck pain typically is significantly reduced or at times eliminated on the operating table, and the patient walks out with a Band Aid(R) on the puncture (stitches are usually not required). Most patients can return to light activities in a few days and to work in a week or two. Clinical Studies on our laser/disc procedures, published in medical journals, show success rates (good or excellent results, based on accepted pain score criteria) of 80% to 94%.

Approximately 600,000 conventional surgical laminectomy or discectomy procedures are performed each year in the United States to treat herniated or ruptured discs. These surgeries typically require general anesthesia and entail a two to three day or longer hospital stay, bleeding, post-operative pain and a recovery period of a month or longer, often with physical therapy or exercise programs for up to six months. Papers on conventional surgery to treat herniated or ruptured discs in the spine, published in medical journals, show the success rates of disc surgery to be only 40% to 77%, based on similar pain score criteria.

Our laser procedures to treat herniated or ruptured spinal discs have demonstrated higher success rates, fewer adverse effects and typically do not require hospitalization, which are common to the conventional surgical procedures to treat herniated or ruptured discs, and are expected to be less costly to third-party payors. However, our Lasers and Side Firing Laser Needles are not reimbursed by Medicare and many other third-party payors, making it difficult to interest surgeons in their use.

Since we cannot afford to conduct large, randomized, controlled clinical trials required by Medicare and other third party payors, we are attempting to interest an established company in the spinal field to conduct these clinical studies and market these productsfor us.

OTHER MARKETS

Our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips are also used in a variety of other procedures in gynecology, ear, nose and throat surgery, gastrointestinal surgery and general surgery.

We also plan to develop new optical fiber devices for use with our Holmium Lasers and others to treat other conditions. Developing new optical fiber devices for new medical applications entails considerable risk. While we have about twenty years of experience in designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing Holmium Lasers and Side Firing Laser Fibers, we cannot assure that any new optical fiber devices or different lasers we may attempt to develop for new applications can be completed at an affordable cost or in a timely manner, or will attract an established company to conduct the necessary clinical trials and, if successful, market these products for us.

THE LASER RENTAL MARKET

Many hospitals, surgery centers and physicians are reluctant to purchase "big ticket" medical equipment, such as our Lasers, which sell for $43,000 to $127,500, particularly for new medical procedures. Hospitals also traditionally suffer from a lack of funds to buy expensive medical equipment, and they prefer to avoid having to train their staff to operate new, complex equipment. As a result, many laser rental companies have been formed in the United States and elsewhere to fill this void. These companies typically provide lasers, endoscopes and other types of medical equipment, along with a trained operator, to hospitals, surgery centers and physicians on a "fee per case" basis.

Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST") was organized in 1997 to rent lasers with a trained operator to hospitals, surgery centers and physicians in Texas on a "fee per case" basis. We acquired MST in late 2000 and expanded its "fee per case" rental business. MST is particularly well suited to the demonstration of our products. If requested, MST also supplies Fibers, Needles or Switch Tips and includes their price in the "per case" fee.

LICENSE AGREEMENTS

The Company presently has no license agreements with a universities and inventors, under which royalties on sales, if any, are payable. Patent applications have been filed with the U.S. Patent Office and U.S. Patents covering certain of the Company's products have been issued to officers and employees of the Company, all of which have been assigned to the Company without royalty. The Company's patent applications are currently being processed by the U.S. Patent Office and, to the Company's knowledge, are proceeding in the normal course of review.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

From its inception to September 30, 2011, an aggregate of $55,040,000 has been expended by the Company for research and development ("R&D"), including clinical and regulatory activities, of which $853,000 and $1,060,000 was expended during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenditures have resulted in the issuance of a number of patents to the Company (See “PATENTS” herein).

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY AGREEMENTS

The Company believes that it has adequate engineering, design and manufacturing facilities (see "PROPERTIES" section herein).

The Company has supply agreements with several suppliers for components and materials used in the production of its products. However, the Company has no long-term volume commitments. The materials used in the Company's products, consisting primarily of certain plastics, optical fibers, lenses, various metal alloys, lasers and laser assemblies and components used in the manufacture of its lasers are, in most cases, available from several vendors. The Company has, on occasion, experienced temporary delays or increased costs in obtaining these materials. An extended shortage of required materials and supplies could have an adverse effect upon the revenue and earnings of the Company. In addition, the Company must allow for significant lead time when procuring certain materials and supplies. Where the Company is currently using only one source of supply, the Company believes that a second source could be obtained within a reasonable period of time. However, no assurance can be given that the Company's results of operations would not be adversely affected until a new source could be located.

MARKETING

The principal markets for the Company's current products are hospitals with orthopedic, urology, ENT, gynecology, gastrointestinal, general surgery and other surgical operating room facilities, as well as outpatient surgery centers. In the United States, this market represents approximately 5,500 hospitals, as well as 1,000 or more outpatient surgery centers. Any new products the Company develops will, if cleared for sale by the FDA and marketed, be sold to hospitals and outpatient surgery centers. The Company anticipates marketing only those products which are customarily sold to the same customer groups to whom its Lasers and Fibers, Needles and SwitchTips are presently marketed. There is no assurance as to the extent to which the Company will be able to penetrate these markets.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had marketing arrangements for the sale of its Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips with a limited number of straight commission sales representatives in the United States. Outside the United States, the Company sells its products through 22 independent distributors who sell our products and other medical products in approximately 28 foreign countries. Our U.S. sales representatives and our foreign distributors devote only a limited portion of their time to selling our products. The Company presently employs a Vice President of Sales and Marketing, who directs the Company's sales and marketing activities in the United States and elsewhere.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into marketing arrangements with any new independent sales representatives or distributors, as the Company is devoting limited resources to these activities, or that the Company will be able to maintain its existing selling arrangements.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

All of the Company's products are, and will in the future, be subject to extensive governmental regulation and supervision, principally by the FDA and comparable agencies in other countries. The FDA regulates the introduction, advertising, manufacturing practices, labeling and record keeping of all drugs and medical devices. The FDA has the power to seize adulterated or misbranded devices, require removal of devices from the market, enjoin further manufacture or sale of devices, and publicize relevant facts regarding devices.

Prior to the sale of any of its products, the Company is required to obtain marketing clearance or approval for each product from the FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries. Extensive clinical testing of each product, which is both costly and time-consuming, may be required to obtain such approvals. The Company's business would be adversely affected if it were unable to obtain such approvals or to comply with continuing regulations of the FDA and other governmental agencies. In addition, the Company cannot predict whether future changes in government regulations might increase the cost of conducting its business or affect the time required to develop and introduce new products. The Company's facilities were inspected by the US FDA in July 2011, and by the state of California Food and Drug Branch in August 2011. The Company believes it is currently in compliance in all material respects with these regulatory requirements, and expects that the processes and procedures in place will satisfy the FDA, although such cannot be assured.

Specific areas of regulation by the FDA and other related matters are described in detail below.

INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE EXEMPTION

Before a new medical device may be used for investigational research in the United States, an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") application must be approved by the FDA. In order to obtain an IDE, the sponsor of the investigational research must first obtain approval for the research from an Institutional Review Board or Committee ("IRB") established for this purpose at the institution (e.g. hospital, medical center, etc.) at which the research is to be conducted.

510(k) PREMARKET NOTIFICATION

The procedure for obtaining clearance from the FDA to market a new medical device involves many steps, such as IDE's and PMA's (see "Premarket Approval"). However, if a device is substantially equivalent to a product marketed prior to May 28, 1976, or a comparable product subsequently cleared by the FDA under a 510(k) Premarket Notification, a 510(k) Premarket Notification may be filed to establish the device's equivalence. The FDA's review process can take three months or longer. All of the Company’s currently marketed Lasers and fiber-optic laser energy delivery devices have been cleared for sale in the United States by the FDA under 510(k) notifications.

All of the Company's currently marketed Lasers and fiber-optic laser energy delivery devices have been cleared for sale in the United States by the FDA, and all but our 30 watt Holmium Lasers have been granted the CE mark under 510(k) Notifications.

PREMARKET APPROVAL

Under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976, all medical devices are classified by the FDA into one of three classes. A "Class I" device is one that is subject only to general controls, such as labeling requirements and good manufacturing practices ("GMP"). A "Class II" device is one that is subject to general controls and must comply with performance standards established by the FDA. A "Class III" device is one for which general controls and performance standards alone are insufficient to assure safety and effectiveness, unless the device qualifies for sale under a 510(k) Premarket Notification. Such devices require clinical testing to establish their safety and efficacy in treating specific diseases or conditions, and a Premarket Approval ("PMA"). Application for the intended use must be approved by the FDA before the device can be marketed in the United States. A device is generally classified as a Class I, II, or III device based on recommendations of advisory panels appointed by the FDA.

The filing of a PMA Application entails a rigorous review by the FDA, which can take one year or longer, unless additional testing or data are requested by the FDA, in which case the review process can be considerably longer. The Company believes the majority of its urology, orthopedic and other surgical products under development can be cleared for sale pursuant to 510(k) Premarket Notifications, which in some cases may require limited clinical trials, although such cannot be assured.

There is no assurance that required PMA approvals or 510(k) clearances for any new products the Company may develop can be obtained or that 510(k) clearances for the Company's present products can be maintained. The failure to maintain 510(k) clearances for existing products or to obtain needed PMA approvals or 510(k) clearances for new products might have a material adverse effect on the Company's future operations.

INSPECTION OF PLANTS

The FDA also has authority to conduct detailed inspections of manufacturing plants, to determine whether or not the manufacturer has followed its GMP requirements, which are required for the manufacture of medical devices. Additionally, the FDA requires reporting of certain product defects and prohibits the domestic sale or exportation of devices that do not comply with the law. The Company's manufacturing facility was inspected by the FDA in 2011. The Company believes it is currently in compliance in all material respects with these regulatory requirements, and expects that the processes and procedures in place will satisfy the FDA, although such cannot be assured.

STATE REGULATION

Federal law preempts states or their political subdivisions from regulating medical devices. Upon application, the FDA may permit state or local regulation of medical devices which is either more stringent than federal regulations or is required because of compelling local conditions. To date, and to the best of the Company's knowledge, only California has filed such an application. On October 5, 1980, the FDA granted partial approval to such application, effective December 9, 1980. The California requirements which have been exempted from preemption have not had a materially adverse effect on the Company.

INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT

To permit the users of the Company's products to obtain reimbursement under Federal health care programs such as Medicare, the Company may be required to demonstrate, in an application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), at either the local or federal level or both, the safety and efficacy of its products and the benefit to patients there from which justify the cost of such treatment. Criteria for demonstrating such benefits are in the process of being defined by CMS, and there does not yet exist a clear method or requirement to receive approval for reimbursement. Presently, Medicare accepts only randomized, controlled clinical studies which have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals, which are costly. There is no assurance that such an application, if made, will be approved by CMS. Most private health insurance companies and state health care programs have standards for reimbursement similar to those of CMS. If an application for reimbursement of a product is not approved by CMS, private insurers and/or health care programs, marketing of such product would be adversely affected.

COST OF COMPLIANCE WITH FDA AND OTHER APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

The costs of complying with FDA and other governmental regulations prior to the sale of approved products are reflected mainly in the Company's R&D expenditures. The cost of first obtaining an IDE for a product and, after having developed a product which in the Company's view is safe and effective, obtaining a PMA approval therefore, as well as making the necessary application to CMS in order to establish insurance reimbursability for treatments utilizing such product, adds significantly to the cost of developing and bringing a product to market over what such cost would have been if such regulatory requirements did not exist. Such regulatory requirements also lengthen the time which is required to develop and commence marketing a product. These delays increase the Company's R&D costs by (a) lengthening the time during which the Company must maintain and bear the carrying costs of a given research and development effort and (b) delaying the time when the Company can commence realizing revenues from sales of a product, during which time, however, the Company must nevertheless continue to bear administrative and overhead costs. It is, however, not possible for the Company to quantify or estimate in advance the direct and indirect costs of complying with such regulatory requirements, particularly since the expense and difficulty of such compliance can vary greatly, depending upon the nature of the product, its intended use, the technological success of the R&D effort and the results of clinical testing of its products.

To the extent applicable regulations require more rigorous testing than might otherwise be deemed necessary by the Company, the costs entailed in conducting testing of its products by such institutions (and fees or royalties, if any, payable to them) may be deemed in part a cost to the Company of compliance with such regulatory requirements.

EMPLOYEES

On September 30, 2011, the Company had 59 full-time employees, of whom 12 were employed by MST. Of the remainder, 33 were engaged in production and engineering, three in sales and marketing, and 11 in general and administrative functions. On September 30, 2011, the Company had three part-time employees of whom two were engaged in production and R&D, and one in general and administrative functions.

The Company may require additional employees in the areas of administration, product development, research, production, regulatory affairs, quality control, sales and marketing in the future. There is intense competition for capable, experienced personnel in the medical device and laser fields, and there is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain new qualified employees when required.

Management believes its relations with its employees are good.

PATENTS

As of September 30, 2011, the Company owned or had licenses to 19 U.S. Patents, two foreign Patents, and one U.S. patent application.

There is no assurance that (a) any patents will be issued from the pending applications, (b) any issued patents will prove enforceable, (c) the Company will derive any competitive advantage therefrom or (d) that the Company's products may not infringe patents owned by others, licenses to which may not be available to the Company. To the extent that pending patent applications do not issue, the Company may be subject to more competition. There can also be no assurance that the already patented products, methods and processes will be medically useful or commercially viable. The issuance of patents on some but not all aspects of a product may be insufficient to prevent competitors from essentially duplicating the product by designing around the patented aspects. The Company is obligated, under certain of its patent licenses, to make royalty payments. Part of the Company's R&D activities will be directed towards obtaining additional patent rights, which may entail future royalty and minimum payment obligations.

In January 2012, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of certain patents held by the Company to a third party. Under the terms of the agreement the Company received a non-refundable payment of $200,000, and we received a non-exclusive, royalty free license to the patents. In addition, the Company will receive 35% of all net (after legal fees) proceeds received by the third party, up to $6 million, less the initial $200,000 payment and 50% of net proceeds over $6 million, if any.

COMPETITION

The Company faces competition from a number of both small and large companies in the medical field. The larger companies include Medtronic, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, Inc., Lumenis Ltd., American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc., Olympus, Inc., and others, all of which have greater financial resources, R&D and manufacturing facilities, technical skills, management staffs and/or sales and marketing organizations than the Company's.

Among the smaller companies with which the Company competes are: Dornier, Inc., Lisa Lasers, Convergent, Inc. and others, certain of which are publicly held.

INSURANCE

The Company has a commercial general liability insurance policy, including an umbrella policy, providing coverage in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 and a products liability insurance policy providing coverage in the amount per occurrence of $5,000,000. There is no assurance that such amounts of insurance will be sufficient to protect the Company's assets against claims by users of its products. Although there have been no successful claims against the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be able to maintain such liability insurance in force in the future at an acceptable cost, or at all, in which case the Company's assets would be at risk in the event of successful claims against it. Successful claims in excess of the amount of insurance then in force could have a serious adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition and its future viability. During the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not carry director and officer liability insurance, but did have indemnification agreements covering its officers and directors.

On December 1, 2011, the Company obtained a directors and officers liability insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

In fiscal 2011 and 2010, sales of products in foreign countries accounted for approximately 17.2% and 15.1%, respectively, of the Company's total sales. See "Marketing" herein for information on the marketing of the Company's products in foreign countries.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company currently occupies approximately 28,700 sq. ft, office, R&D, manufacturing and warehouse facility at 25901 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630. Our present lease was amended and became effective June 1, 2010 expires on May 31, 2013, and contains two sixty-month options to extend the lease at the then prevailing market rent. The rent for the first year was at $24,108 per month, with the first four months at $12,054. The lease contains two increases occurring at the end of 12 months and 24 months, for $29,561 and $30,422, per month, respectively, with the first increase including a month's free rent.

The Company's subsidiary, MST, currently occupies approximately 3.000 square feet of office space in Dallas, Texas, which it leases at a rental of $3,375 per month through August 31, 2016.

Management considers all of its facilities to be well maintained and adequate for its purposes.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.

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, relates to injuries that occurred in connection to a medical procedure in which the Company's laser was 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 had recorded a loss contingency for this claim in the amount of $25,000 based on the deductible under the insurance policy, of which $16,000 remains as of September 30, 2011. 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company's revenues include revenues from the sale of delivery and disposable devices, the sale and rental of laser equipment and accessories, and service contracts for lasers manufactured by the Company.

The Company recognizes revenue from products sold once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) the products have been shipped, (iii) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment, and (iv) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured. Sales tax collected from customers are not considered revenue and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities until remitted to the taxing authorities.

Revenues from the sale of Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips are recognized upon shipment and passage of title of the products, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Generally, customers are required to insure the goods from the Company's place of business. Accordingly, the risk of loss transfers to the customer once the goods have been shipped from the Company's warehouse. The Company sells its products primarily through commission sales representatives in the United States and distributors in foreign countries. In cases where the Company utilizes distributors, it recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, and ownership risk has transferred. In general, the Company does not have any post shipment obligations such as installation or acceptance provisions. All domestic Lasers are sold with a one year warranty which includes parts and labor. All international Lasers are sold with a one year parts only warranty. As each Laser sale is recognized, a liability is accrued for estimated future warranty costs.

The Company utilizes distributors for international sales only. All Lasers sales are non-returnable. Our international distributors typically locate customers for Lasers before ordering and in general do not maintain inventories. The Company's return policy for Laser accessories, delivery and disposable devices sold to distributors is as follows: 1) The Company will accept returns of any unopened, undamaged, standard catalogue items (except laser systems) within sixty (60) days of invoice date. Acceptable returned products will be subject to a 20% restocking fee, 2) A return authorization number is required for all returns. The number can be obtained by contacting the Customer Service Department, and 3) Should a product be found defective at the time of initial use, the Company will replace it free of charge.

The Company offers service contracts on its Lasers. These service contracts are offered at different pricing levels based on the level of coverage, which include periodic maintenance and different levels of parts and labor to be provided. Since the service contracts have a twelve-month term, the revenue of each service contract is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each service contract.

Trimedyne rents its Lasers for a flat monthly charge for a period of years or on a month-to-month basis, or on a fee per case basis, sometimes with a minimum monthly rental fee. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, one Laser and two Lasers, respectively, were being rented by Trimedyne, each on a month-to-month basis. For these lasers, rental revenue is recorded ratably over the rental period. MST generally enters into rental service contracts with customers for a two year period which, unless cancelled, are renewed on an annual basis after the initial period. During the rental service contract period customers do not maintain possession of any rental equipment unless it is for the Company's convenience. Customers are billed on a fee per case basis for rentals, which includes the services of the laser operator and, in some cases, the use of a reusable or single use laser delivery device. Revenue from these rental service contracts is recognized as the cases are performed.

Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated based on estimates of losses related to customer receivable balances. Estimates are developed 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 reserved balances required. Our credit losses in 2011 and 2010, were less than one percent of revenues.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of raw materials and component parts, work in process and finished Lasers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined principally by use of the standard-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost is determined at the actual cost for raw materials, and at production cost (materials, labor and indirect manufacturing overhead) for work-in-process and finished goods.

Laser units located at medical facilities for sales evaluation and demonstration purposes or those units used for development and medical training are included in inventory since the lasers will ultimately be sold. These units are written down to reflect their net realizable values.

We write-down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the net realizable 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. We maintain a reserve on inventories that we consider to be slow moving or obsolete, to reduce the inventory to their net estimated realizable value. Once specific inventory is written-down, the write-down is permanent until the inventory is physically disposed of.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, we wrote down our inventory an additional $287,000 for slow-moving products and estimated obsolescence.

GOODWILL

We account for goodwill and acquired intangible assets in accordance with ASC No. 350 "Intangible Goodwill and Other", whereby goodwill is not amortized, and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the fourth quarter and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A reporting unit is an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. We have one reporting unit, our service and rental group, to which goodwill is assigned.

ASC No. 350 requires a two-step approach to test goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit. The first step tests for impairment by applying fair value-based tests to a reporting unit. The second step, if deemed necessary, measures the impairment by applying fair value-based tests to specific assets and liabilities within the reporting unit. Application of the goodwill impairment tests require judgment, including identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to each reporting unit, assignment of goodwill to each reporting unit, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The determination of fair value for a reporting unit could be materially affected by changes in these estimates and assumptions.

As part of the first step, the Company generally estimates the fair value of the reporting unit based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the assets could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach. The income approach uses cash flow projections. Inherent in our development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our historical operating results, future business plans, expected growth rates, cost of capital, future economic conditions, etc. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. During the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2011, we conducted a goodwill impairment test for its service and rental group using a combination of the market and income approach. As a result of the first step analysis, the expected cash flows to be generated by the service and rental were sufficient enough to support the carrying value of the goodwill. Thus, we determined there was no impairment of the goodwill as of September 30, 2011.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of long-lived assets.

DEFERRED TAXES

We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered estimated future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount needed for the valuation allowance. Based on these estimates, all of our deferred tax assets have been reserved. If actual results differ favorably from those estimates used, we may be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets. Such realization could positively impact our operating results and cash flows from operating activities.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We account for equity based compensation under the provisions of ASC No. 718, "Compensation, Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in operations. The fair value of our stock option awards are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that we estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award and we elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of ASC 718.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"), which has been codified into ASC 815 . The guidance applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was codified into ASC 815) and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity's own common stock. The guidance had an impact on the Company's financial statements and position due to certain warrants and the senior secured convertible note payable to related party in which the exercise/conversion price resets upon capital raised at lower effective rates. See Notes 4 and 5 for the impact of such transactions on the consolidated financial statements.

Our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants and embedded conversion features are recorded at their fair value upon issuance and at each reporting period. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the embedded conversion feature is determined using the Lattice model. All future changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature will be recognized currently in earnings until the note is converted or redeemed.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT

If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

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.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2011 AND 2010

The following table sets forth certain items in the consolidated statements of income as a percentage of net revenues for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Year Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Net revenues		100.0%			100.0%
Cost of sales		68.7			65.6
Selling, general and administrative expenses		41.3			40.4
Research and development expenses		12.8			16.6
Interest expense		0.9			0.6
Other income, net		1.5			32.7
Income taxes		0.1			0.2
Net income (loss)		(22.3	)		10.3

NET REVENUES

Net revenues increased $255,000 or 4.0% in fiscal 2011 to $6,656,000 from $6,401,000 in fiscal 2010. Net sales from Lasers and accessories increased by $544,000 or 75.7% to $1,264,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 from $720,000 during the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in international sales. Sales from Fibers, Needles and SwitchTips decreased by $157,000 or 5.6% to $2,666,000 during the current fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 from $2,823,000 during the prior fiscal year. The decrease in sales from Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips was primarily due to a decrease in international sales of these products. International export revenues increased $187,000 or 19.4% to $1,143,000 during fiscal 2011 from $965,000 during fiscal 2010 due to an increase in Laser sales revenue. Net revenues from "per case" rentals and field service and rental decreased by $132,000 or 4.6% in fiscal 2011 to $2,726,000 from $2,858,000 in fiscal 2010, primarily due to an decrease in billable service calls from Trimedyne, Inc.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of sales in fiscal 2011 was approximately 68.7% of net revenues, compared to 63.9% in fiscal 2010. Gross profit from the sale of Lasers and accessories during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was 19.9% as compared to (3.89)% for the prior year fiscal period. The higher gross profit from the sale of lasers during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was the primarily the result of the sale of two lasers that were reserved during a prior year and a lower absorption rate of overhead due to an increase in laser sales volume. Gross profit from the sale of Fibers, Needles and Switch Tips during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was 30% as compared to 34% for the prior fiscal year period. The decrease in gross profit was a non-recurring year-end adjustment of $182,000 primarily to reserve obsolete and slow moving inventory. Gross profit from revenue received from service and per case rentals was 38% in the current fiscal year as compared to 45% for the prior fiscal year period. The lower gross profit for the service and rental segment during the current year was primarily attributable to a decrease in billable service calls from Trimedyne, Inc. while having to maintain existing overhead.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $166,000 or 6.4% to $2,751,000 in fiscal 2011, compared to $2,585,000 in fiscal 2010. The increase in fiscal 2011 was primarily the result of increases in commission and bonus expense of $37,000 travel and trade show expense of $43,000, payroll expense of 43,000, stock-based compensation of $17,000, bank services charges of $15,000, legal expense of $5,000 and recruiting expense of $41,000, offset by a decrease in outside services of $28,000 and sales tax expense of $25,000.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) EXPENSES

R&D expenses decreased $207,000 or 19.5% to $853,000 in fiscal 2011, compared to $1,060,000 in fiscal 2010. R&D as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 12.8% of net revenues in fiscal 2011 as compared to 16.6% in fiscal year 2010. The lower R&D spending in fiscal 2011 as as compared to fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the completion of our product development efforts in readying our new Side-Firing Fibers for use with Holmium Lasers, offset by our development work to introduce a line of single-use bare-tipped Holmiun laser fibers into the marketplace.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

Total other income, net decreased $2,050,000 or 97.9% to $45,000 in fiscal 2010 from $2,095,000 in fiscal 2010.

Income from royalties decreased $170,000 or 64% to $96,000 in fiscal 2010 from $266,000 in fiscal 2010. This decrease was due to of the continued decrease of Lumenis' sales of side-firing and angled-firing devices in which we receive royalties on.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, Lumenis paid us $2,000,000 under a Settlement Agreement (see SETTLEMENT WITH LUMENIS). While the Settlement Agreement was executed at a later date, the Settlement Agreement is dated as of August 23, 2010, the date of expiration of the OEM Agreement. As a result, the $2 million payment by Lumenis is reflected in the Company’s financial statements as other income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

To avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation, as of 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.

During the current fiscal year, we accrued a provision for state income tax of $9,000 due to the net income apportioned to MST. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, we accrued a provision for state income tax of $15,000

NET INCOME (LOSS)

As a result of the above, the net loss in fiscal 2011 was $1,486,000, compared to a net income of $639,000 in fiscal 2010. The primary change in our financial position from the previous fiscal year was due to the $2 million paid to us by Lumenis under the Settlement Agreement during the previous fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows

In fiscal 2011, net cash used by operating activities was $455,000, as compared to net cash provided of $644,000 in fiscal 2010. The primary reason for the cash provided in fiscal 2010 was due to $2 million in proceeds received in connection with a settlement with Lumenis. Net cash used in investing activities was $426,000 in fiscal 2011, compared to net cash used of $49,000 in fiscal 2010. The Company continues to conserve capital for operations and thus only incurs capital expenditures on an as needed basis. Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2011 was $496,000 compared to cash provided of $312,000 in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2010, we continued to make payments on capital leases. In addition, we received $500,000 from the sale of a 6% senior secured convertible note to our Chief Executive Officer. This note was paid off during the current fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended 2011, we borrowed $250,000 from a related party and made payments on the note of $63,000. The payments of $183,000 consisted of continued payments on capital leases and note payable related to insurance policies.

Liquidity and Management's Plans

At September 30, 2011, we had working capital of $2,904,000 compared to $5,025,000 at the end of the previous fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. Cash decreased by $1,107,000 to $1,151,000 at September 30, 2011 from $2,258,000 at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The Company is currently pursuing market development efforts in growth markets in Pacific Rim countries, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We believe that by expanding healthcare infrastructure in these markets we will create a sustained demand for Holmium Lasers applied to Spinal Endoscopy, Laser Lithotripsy and Laser prostate ablation. Additionally, we expect the global trend toward single-use disposable laser delivery products will improve sales and profit margins as more hospitals convert from multi-use products, due to concerns for sterility and interests to reduce handling costs incurred in product sterilization and we are developing more single-use products.

Subsequently, during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 we received 19 purchase orders for future delivery of Lasers during the subsequent fiscal year. We are expecting to have a significant increase in the sales of Lasers and laser products during the future fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.

We have also subsequently received during January 2012, $200,000 from the sale of three patents to a third party (See Note 12 “Subsequent Events” contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) which will be used to fund operations.

We believe that existing cash flows will sufficient to fund operations through September 30, 2012; however, we have incurred losses from operations for the past four years. Although management expects that we will be able to maintain or achieve sales growth in the next 12 months, there is no guarantee that the Company will be profitable. Thus, it is possible that additional working capital in the next 12 to 24 months may be required. 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 guarantee that our efforts to do so will be successful.

MATERIAL TRANSACTION WITH 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 contained a provision whereby the CEO could redeem the note at any time. Initially, the CEO agreed not to redeem the Note, without the written consent of the Company, for a period of two years from September 30, 2010. Thus, the Note was reflected as a long-term obligation as of September 30, 2010, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The funds provided under the Note were used for operations.

The Senior Note could be 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 Note, and thus no beneficial conversion feature was recorded. However, the Note contains an anti-dilution provision whereby the price reset in the event of the sale or issuance of shares at a price lower than the conversion price set forth in the 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 was $94,000 and recorded the offset as a discount to the Note. 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. At June 30, 2011, 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 estimated the fair value of the conversion feature using the Lattice model. Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion feature as determined using the Lattice model is affected by our stock price on the date of issuance as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are 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 Notes. We believe this method produced an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of this conversion feature. We currently have no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the conversion feature is 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 Note being redeemed 0% increasing by 10% per quarter.

The Company had been amortizing the discount over the period of two years, the term of the CEO's commitment not to call the Note, using the effective interest method. During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company had amortized $10,000 of the discount to interest expense through the date of extinguishment.

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. 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.

On June 27, 2011, with the consent of the related party and approval by the Board of Directors, the interest rate of the Note was amended to 6% per annum and the Trust had the right to call the Note at any time and demand immediate payment of all unpaid principal and all accrued interest. The Note was subsequently paid in full with accrued interest on January 3, 2012.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure; due to the material weaknesses described below.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

1.	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

3.	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the period covered by this report based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the results of management’s assessment and evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Material Weaknesses

1. Our financial reporting has been delayed due to the fact that we converted to a new ERP accounting system in the last half of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and are still attempting to fully integrate with such new system;

2. Our financial reporting has been delayed due to being understaffed in our accounting department.

Management plans to remediate the material weaknesses described above as quickly as practical.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report by the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, because Management’s report in the annual report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only a management’s report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weaknesses describe above, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

During the past five years, none of the following have occurred that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company:

1.	Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires "insiders," including our executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from reporting persons, we believe that our insiders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during fiscal 2011.

Changes to Nominating Process

There have been no changes to the nominating process or adoption of procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

Audit Committee

Don Baker is our Audit Committee Chairman and Director. Mr. Baker is an "audit committee financial expert" in accordance with SEC rules. Because we are not a listed issuer, members of our Audit Committee are not subject to the independence requirements of any national securities exchange or association.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this Report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors operates pursuant to a written charter. The Committee met once and acted by unanimous written consent during fiscal 2011 to fulfill its responsibilities. To ensure independence, the Audit Committee also meets separately with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and members of management. The sole member of the Audit Committee is a non-employee and satisfies the SEC requirements with respect to independence, financial sophistication and experience.

The role of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management of the Company has the primary responsibility for the Company's consolidated financial statements as well as the Company's financial reporting process, principles and internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of the Company's financial statements and expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such consolidated financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. These reviews included discussion with the outside independent registered public accountants of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures required by PCAOB Rule 3526, and it has discussed with the independent registered public accountants its independence with respect to the Company.

Based on the reports and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

/s/ Don Baker

February 6, 2012

Other Committees

The Board intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges. Therefore, we intend that a majority of our directors will eventually be independent directors and at least one director will continue to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert." Additionally, the Board is expected to appoint a nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee. Until further determination by the Board, the full Board will undertake the duties of the compensation committee and nominating committee.

Code of Ethics

We have not formally adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our board of directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer and employees.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

All executives are employed as salaried employees on an "at-will" basis. The issuance of all bonuses, stock and option awards are discretionary and are approved by the Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION IN FISCAL YEAR 2011 AND 2010

Each non-employee director who is appointed to the committee to administer our 2003 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Committee") is entitled to a grant of 30,000 options to purchase shares every three years, beginning the day the director is so appointed, for so long as he or she serves on the Committee. The options vest in equal amounts over three years.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011and 2010, 30,000 such grants were given and no such grants were given, respectively. No options were exercised during the fiscals ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2011 and 2010, we did not have a compensation committee or another committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions. Instead the entire board of directors performed the function of compensation committee. Our board of directors approved the executive compensation, however, there were no deliberations relating to executive officer compensation during 2011 and 2010.

Compensation Committee Report

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth the name of and address of each beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company's Common Stock known to the Company, each director of the Company, each named executive officer, and all directors and executive officers as a group, the number of shares beneficially owned by such persons as of September 30, 2011 and the percent of the class so owned. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable, as appropriate, or will become exercisable within 60 days of the reporting date are deemed outstanding, even if they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Each person named in the table has sole investment and sole voting power with respect to the shares of Common Stock set forth opposite his name, except as otherwise indicated. All shares are directly owned or are held for the stockholder in street name, except as otherwise indicated.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011and 2010, the Company had the following related party transactions:

Senior Secured Convertible Note

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 contained a provision whereby the CEO could redeem the note at any time. Initially, the CEO agreed not to redeem the Note, without the written consent of the Company, for a period of two years from September 30, 2010. Thus, the Note was reflected as a long-term obligation as of September 30, 2010 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The funds provided under the Note were used for operations.

The Senior Note could be 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 Note, and thus no beneficial conversion feature was recorded. However, the Note contained an anti-dilution provision whereby the price reset in the event of the sale or issuance of shares at a price lower than the conversion price set forth in the 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 was $94,000 and recorded the offset as a discount to the Note. 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. 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.

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 Notes. We believed this method produced an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of this conversion feature. We had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the conversion feature is 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 Note being redeemed 0% increasing by 10% per quarter.

Secured Note Payable

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. Evidenced by a Note Payable (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $250,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum, the Note required monthly payments 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 was 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.

Director Independence

Presently, we are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trimedyne, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit on its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trimedyne, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Trimedyne, Inc. ("Trimedyne") and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Company") are engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of lasers, and disposable and reusable fiber-optic laser devices in the medical field. The Company's operations include the provision of services and rental of lasers and other medical equipment to hospitals and surgery centers on a "fee-per-case" basis in the Southwestern United States, through its wholly owned subsidiary Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST"), located in Dallas, Texas. The Company's operations are primarily located in Southern California with distribution of its products worldwide (see Note 9).

Managements' Plans

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trimedyne, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, MST, Inc., and its 90% owned and inactive subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. ("Cardiodyne"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

F-7

TRIMEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Concentration of Credit Risk and Customer Concentration

The Company generates revenues principally from sales of products in the medical field. As a result, the Company's trade accounts receivable are concentrated primarily in this industry. As of September 30, 2011, one customer accounted for 11.5% of the Company's receivables. As of September 30, 2010, there were no customer concentrations within accounts receivable. The Company performs limited credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses. The Company considers the following factors when determining if collection of a fee is reasonably assured: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. In some cases in regards to new customers, management requires payment in full or letters of credit before goods are shipped or services are performed. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. During fiscal 2011 and 2010, credit losses were not significant.

During the fiscal year 2011and 2010, the Company had sales to one customer, which represented approximately 12% of product sales. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no concentrations of service and rental sales.

If the relationship between the Company and these customers was altered, the futures results of operations and financial condition could be significantly affected. Additionally, during fiscal 2011 and 2010, exports sales approximated 17.2% and 15.1% of sales, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had cash balances in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000 in the amount of $803,000.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and component parts, work-in-process and finished goods consisting of lasers and dispensing systems. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined principally by use of the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. Cost is determined at the actual cost for raw materials, and at production cost (materials, labor and indirect manufacturing overhead) for work-in-process and finished goods.

TRIMEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and acquired intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC No. 350 "Intangible and Other", whereby goodwill is not amortized, and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the fourth quarter and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A reporting unit is an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. The Company has one reporting unit, our service and rental group, to which goodwill is assigned.

As part of the first step, the Company generally estimates the fair value of the reporting unit based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the assets could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach. The income approach uses cash flow projections. Inherent in our development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our historical operating results, future business plans, expected growth rates, cost of capital, future economic conditions, etc. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods. During the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company conducted a goodwill impairment test for its service and rental group using a combination of the market and income approach. As a result of the first step analysis, the expected cash flows to be generated by the service and rental were sufficient enough to support the carrying value of the goodwill. Thus, the Company determined there was no impairment of the goodwill as of September 30, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized is permanent and may not be restored. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment of long-lived assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity based compensation under the provisions of ASC No. 718, "Compensation, Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in operations. The fair value of the Company's stock option awards are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of ASC 718.

F-9

TRIMEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 of approximately 5% is based on historical forfeiture experience and estimated future employee forfeitures. The estimated term of option grants for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was seven years.

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 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 is primarily 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. The assumptions used for options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	Fiscal Years ended September 30,
	2011		2010

Expected term	7 years		7 years
Expected stock volatility		90.9 %		99.0 %
Risk free rate		3.23 %		3.07 %
Dividend yield		-- %		-- %

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.14 and $0.21 per option, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $55,371 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated expected forfeitures, related to employee and director stock option compensation arrangements. This unrecognized cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the next five years, which is consistent with the vesting period.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options under ASC No. 718 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, which was allocated as follows:

	Fiscal Years Ended September 30,
	2011		2010
Stock-based compensation included in:
Cost of revenues	$	1,000	$	2,000
Research and development expenses		1,000		3,000

TRIMEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include inventory valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts and deferred income tax assets, recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, losses for contingencies and certain accrued liabilities, as well as the valuation of certain derivatives and equity compensation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments under the guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

● Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of September 30, 2011and 2010, the Company’s derivatives which include the warrant liability and embedded conversion feature on the secured convertible note payable to related party were considered level 2 financial instruments.

The Company's financial remaining instruments consisted primarily of (level 1) cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital leases and note payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 due to the short term nature of these instruments.

The Company did not have any level 3 instruments at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Per Share Information

Basic per share information is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share information consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the year ended September 30, 2011, outstanding options of 1,138,379 were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the exercise prices of these options were in excess of the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the year ended September 30, 2011.

The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the denominator for calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended September 30, 2010:

Weighted average common shares outstanding used in calculating basic earnings per share			18,365,960
Effect of dilutive stock options			39,000
Effect of senior convertible secured note due to officer and accrued interest			2,380,952
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share			20,785,912

The following is a reconciliation of the net income for the year ended September 30, 2010 available to common stockholders:

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues include revenues from the sale of reusable and disposable Fibers, Needles, and Switch Tips, the sale and rental of Lasers and accessories, and service contracts for Lasers manufactured by the Company.

F-12

TRIMEDYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenues from the sale of Fibers, Needles, and Switch Tips and lasers are recognized upon shipment and passage of title of the products, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Generally, customers are required to insure the goods from the Company's place of business. Accordingly, the risk of loss transfers to the customer once the goods have been shipped from the Company's warehouse. The Company sells its products primarily through commission sales representatives in the United States and distributors in foreign countries. In cases where the Company utilizes distributors, it recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, and ownership risk has transferred. In general, the Company does not have any post shipment obligations such as installation or acceptance provisions. All domestic laser systems are sold with a one year warranty which includes parts and labor. All international lasers systems are sold with a one year parts only warranty. As each laser sale is recognized, a liability is accrued for estimated future warranty costs.

The Company utilizes distributors for international sales only. All laser system sales are non-returnable. Our international distributors typically locate customers for lasers before ordering and in general do not maintain inventories. The Company's return policy for laser accessories, Fibers, Needles, and Switch Tips sold to distributors is as follows: (1) the Company will accept returns of any unopened, undamaged, standard catalogue items (except laser systems) within sixty (60) days of invoice date. Acceptable returned products will be subject to a 20% restocking fee, (2) a return authorization number is required for all returns, which can be obtained by contacting the Customer Service Department, and (3) should a product be found defective at the time of initial use, the Company will replace it free of charge.

The Company offers service contracts on its lasers. These service contracts are offered at different pricing levels based on the level of coverage, which include periodic maintenance and different levels of parts and labor to be provided. Since the service contracts have a twelve-month term, the revenue of each service contract is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the service contract.

Trimedyne rents its lasers for a flat monthly charge for a period of years or on a month-to-month basis, or on a fee-per-case basis, which sometimes includes a minimum monthly rental fee. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, one laser and two lasers were rented by Trimedyne, each on a month-to-month basis, respectively. For these lasers, rental revenue is recorded ratably over the rental period. MST generally enters into rental service contracts with customers for a two year period, which unless cancelled, are renewed on an annual basis after the initial period. During the rental service contract period customers do not maintain possession of any rental equipment unless it is for the Company's convenience. Customers are billed on a fee-per-case basis for rentals, which includes the services of the laser operator and, in some cases, the use of a reusable or single use Fiber, Needle, and Tip. Revenue from these rental service contracts is recognized as the cases are performed.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of materials and allocations of direct and indirect labor and overhead costs. Items included within these costs include but are not limited to personnel costs, depreciation, amortization of intangibles and various overhead allocations for items such as rent, utilities, etc.

Research and Development

Costs incurred in research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of equipment and services revenues at the time the related revenue is recognized. Amounts billed to a customer for shipping and handling are reported as revenues.

Product Warranty Costs

The Company provides warranties for certain products and maintains warranty reserves for estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company's stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. The following table provides a summary of the activity related to the Company's accrued warranty expense:

	For The Years Ended September 30,
	2011			2010

Balance at beginning of year	$	17,000		$	54,000
Charges to costs and expenses		73,000			41,000
Costs incurred		(52,000	)		(78,000	)
Balance at end of year	$	38,000		$	17,000

Research and Development Costs

All research and development costs, including licensing costs, are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with this policy, all costs associated with the design, development and testing of the Company's products have been expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Management provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such assets will not be recoverable based on future operations.

Potential interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense. The Company believes they have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on future income tax returns.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful lives or the term of the lease. Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was $286,000 and $307,000, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company reports information about operating segments, as well as disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers (see Note 10). Operating segments are defined as revenue-producing components of the enterprise, which are generally used internally for evaluating segment performance.

Derivative Liabilities

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"), which has been codified into ASC 815 . The guidance applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (which was codified into ASC 815) and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity's own common stock. The guidance had an impact on the Company's financial statements and position due to certain warrants in which the exercise price resets upon certain events. See Notes 4 and 5 for the impact of such transactions on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an update to modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This accounting guidance will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY, NOTE PAYABLE AND CAPITAL LEASES

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 contained a provision whereby the CEO could redeem the note at any time. Initially, the CEO agreed not to redeem the Note, without the written consent of the Company, for a period of two years from September 30, 2010. Thus, the Note was reflected as a long-term obligation as of September 30, 2010 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The funds provided under the Note were used for operations.

The Senior Note could be 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 Note, and thus no beneficial conversion feature was recorded. However, the Note contained an anti-dilution provision whereby the price reset in the event of the sale or issuance of shares at a price lower than the conversion price set forth in the 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 was $94,000 and recorded the offset as a discount to the Note. 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. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Notes. We believed this method produced an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of this conversion feature. We had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of the conversion feature is 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 Note being redeemed 0% increasing by 10% per quarter.

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. Evidenced by a Note Payable (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $250,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum, the Note required monthly payments 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 was 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.

NOTE 5. OUTSTANDING WARRANT LIABILITY

Effective October 1, 2009 we adopted the provisions of EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"), which has been codified into ASC 815. EITF 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity's own common stock. Both standards were codified into ASC 815. As a result of adopting EITF 07-5, 212,000 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants have an exercise price of $1.14 and expire in January 2012. As such, effective October 1, 2009 we reclassified the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants, which have exercise price reset features, from equity to liability status as if these warrants were treated as a derivative liability since their date of issue in January 2007. On October 1, 2009, we reclassified from additional paid-in capital, as a cumulative effect adjustment, $204,000 to beginning retained earnings and $35,000 to a long-term warrant liability to recognize the fair value of such warrants on such date. The fair value of these common stock purchase warrants declined to $0 and $2,000 as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As such, we recognized a gain of approximately $2,000 and $31,000 from the change in fair value of these warrants during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

These common stock purchase warrants were initially issued in connection with our January 2007 issuance and sale of 2.65 million shares of common stock. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

	September 30,		September 30,
	2011		2010
Annual dividend yield		--		--
Expected life (in years)		0.26		1.26
Risk free interest rate		0.27%		0.27%
Expected annual volatility		87.2%		87.2%

Expected volatility is based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using weekly pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to expected remaining life of the warrant. We believe this method produces an estimate that is representative of our expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. We currently have no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants is likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased approximately $1,605,000 during the year ended September 30, 2011 and approximately $2,075,000 during the year ended September 30. 2010, primarily due to a portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLS") for federal and state income tax reporting, as well as research and development tax credits that expired. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a current provision for state income taxes of $9,000 and $15,000, respectively. There was not a provision for federal income taxes. In addition, there was not a provision for deferred income taxes due to a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets for fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company's effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

At September 30, 2011, the Company had NOL carry forwards for Federal and California income tax purposes totaling approximately $25.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010, the Company had NOL carry forwards for Federal and California income tax purposes totaling approximately $28.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Federal and California NOL's have begun to expire and fully expire in 2031 and 2021, respectively. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 includes provisions which may limit the new operating loss carry forwards available for use in any given year if certain events occur, including significant changes in stock ownership. In addition, the Company has R & D credits that have begun to expire and fully expire in 2031 for federal tax purposes.

The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its "major" tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal return years 2008 through 2010 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations. The Company is subject to examination by various State agencies for the years ended 2007 through 2010 and currently does not have any ongoing tax examinations.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The Company has two non-cancelable operating leases, which include a lease for MST's facility in Dallas, Texas, which expires in August 31, 2016, for $3,375 per month, and a lease for the Company's corporate office and manufacturing facility in Lake Forest, California, which was amended and became effective June 1, 2010, and expires in May 2013. Our present lease in Lake Forest, California contains two sixty-month options to extend the lease at the then prevailing market rent. The rent for the first year is at $24,108 per month, with the first four months at $12,054. The lease contains two increases occurring at the end of 12 months and 24 months, for $29,561 and $30,422, respectively, with the first increase including a month's free rent.

Future annual minimum lease payments under the above lease agreements at September 30, 2011, are as follows:

Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $332,000 and $349,000, respectively.

Rent expense on the leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Therefore, rent expense on the leases does not correspond with the actual rent payments due. Additionally, as part of the Company's lease agreement of its facility in Lake Forest, California, the Company received $100,000 from the lessor as an allowance for leasehold improvements contributed by the Company. The unamortized portion of the $100,000 payment received is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including the amended lease entered into in June 2010 as reduction to rent expense and the unamortized portion is included in deferred rent. The difference between the cumulative rent payments, net of the allowance on leasehold improvements versus the cumulative rent expense on a straight-line basis is recorded as a deferred rent liability. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, this liability was $100,000 and $80,000, respectively.

See Note 4 regarding capital leases.

Settlement and OEM Agreement

On August 24, 2005, we entered into a five year OEM agreement with Lumenis. Under the OEM agreement, Lumenis agreed to pay us a royalty of 7.5% of its worldwide sales of side firing and angled firing laser fibers, and Lumenis also agreed to purchase 100% of its needs for side firing laser fibers and 75% of its needs for angled firing laser fibers from us, subject to our laser fibers meeting certain performance standards and satisfactory completion of an audit of our manufacturing process and quality system. This Agreement expired on August 23, 2010.

Previously we had a contract dispute with Lumenis. During fiscal 2010, we reached an amicable settlement of this dispute with Lumenis, Lumenis entered into a settlement agreement and a license agreement with us, and we exchanged mutual releases.

Under the settlement agreement, Lumenis paid us $2,000,000. While the settlement agreement was executed at a later date, the settlement agreement is dated as of August 23, 2010, the date of expiration of the OEM Agreement. As a result, the $2 million payment by Lumenis is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010.

Under the license agreement, Lumenis extended the 7.5% royalty payment period to July 21, 2014. While the license agreement was also executed at a later date, the license agreement was dated as of August 23, 2010, the date of expiration of the OEM agreement, which contained a non-exclusive license to Lumenis of the same two U.S. patents.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 the Company received $96,000 under the license agreement, which was included in other income.

Product Liability

The Company is subject to various claims and actions which arise in the ordinary course of business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that the resolution of any of the Company's existing and future litigation may adversely affect the Company. Management is unaware of any matters which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements that may have material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. 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 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.

In February, 2008, we and six other laser manufacturers were sued in the district court of Massachusetts by CardioFocus, Inc., alleging infringement of three of their now expired U.S. Patents. On September 30, 2010, the Company accrued $175,000 as there were indicating factors that a settlement would be reached. To avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation, as of November 24, 2010, we settled the litigation with CardioFocus, paid them $175,000, entered into mutual releases and the lawsuit was dismissed.

Stock Options

The Company has adopted stock option plans that authorize the granting of options to key employees, directors, and consultants to purchase unissued common stock subject to certain conditions, such as continued employment. Options are generally granted at the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, become exercisable over a period of five years from the date of grant, and generally expire in six or ten years specific to their respective plan. Forfeitures of stock options are returned to the Company and become available for grant under the respective plan. Upon exercise the Company issues new shares of common stock.

On May 10, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 469,000 shares to 19 individuals. The exercise price per share is $0.14, based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The majority of these options vest over three years and expire ten (10) years from the date of grant.
