              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
full year ended December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

Effective September 30, 1994, the Company acquired from Siemens AG substantially
all of its worldwide cardiac rhythm management operations ("Pacesetter") for a
price not to exceed $531.3 million. The initial purchase price of $511.3 million
can be adjusted upward by a maximum of $20 million or downward based upon the
change in the net asset value of Pacesetter from September 30, 1993, to
September 30, 1994. The Company and Siemens AG currently disagree about the
final adjustment to the purchase price and are following the procedures in the
purchase agreements to resolve their differences.

The following unaudited pro forma summary information presents the results of
operations of the Company and Pacesetter for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 1993, after giving effect
to certain adjustments including amortization of goodwill, increased interest
expense, decreased interest income and the related income tax effects.

                             ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

INTRODUCTION: Effective September 30, 1994, St. Jude Medical Inc. acquired from
Siemens AG substantially all the worldwide assets of its cardiac rhythm
management operations ("Pacesetter"). The acquisition significantly expanded the
Company's product offerings. The Company's second quarter and first half 1995
financial results include Pacesetter's operations. Results between 1995 and 1994
are not directly comparable due to the Pacesetter acquisition.

NET SALES. Net sales for the second quarter 1995 totalled $185,551, including
approximately $116,000 from Pacesetter operations. This was a $118,815, or 178%,
increase over net sales in the 1994 second quarter. For the first six months of
1995, net sales totalled $366,050, a $232,629, or 174% increase over the
comparable period of 1994.

On a comparable business basis, second quarter net sales in 1995 as compared to
the second quarter of 1994 increased by over $3,200, or approximately 5%. For
the first six months, the 1995 increase over 1994 exceeded $4,900, or about 4%.
These increases were mainly attributable to higher mechanical heart valve net
sales, particularly in emerging markets. In addition, tissue heart valve and
cardiac assist device net sales increased over 1994 levels. On a comparable
business basis, a favorable foreign currency translation effect in 1995 as
compared to 1994 due to the weaker U.S. dollar added approximately $2,000 and
$3,700 to net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 1995,
respectively.

Pacesetter net sales totalled approximately $116,000 for the quarter and
$228,000 for the first six months. Compared to proforma 1994 results, Pacesetter
net sales increased approximately 11% and 12% for the quarter and first half,
respectively. The increase principally resulted from a strong domestic
performance which was favorably impacted by new product introductions,
competitor problems and a continuing shift toward superior performance higher
price products.

GROSS PROFIT. The second quarter 1995 gross profit was $129,704, or 69.9% of net
sales, as compared to $50,277, or 75.3% of net sales, during the comparable 1994
period. For the first six months of 1995 and 1994, gross profit was $251,097, or
68.6% of net sales, and $100,091, or 75.0% of net sales, respectively. The gross
profit margin decreased in 1995 primarily because the Pacesetter margins,
although quite good, were lower than the margins of the Company's heart valve
operations. In addition, acquired Pacesetter fixed assets were recorded at fair
market value resulting in higher depreciation charges. Higher mechanical heart
valve component costs and sales into lower margin emerging markets together with
the commencement of depreciation of start-up costs associated with the new valve
manufacturing plant also decreased the gross profit margin in 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general & administrative (SG&A)
expenses increased in the second quarter 1995 to $61,102 from $14,142 in the
comparable period of 1994. As a percentage of net sales, second quarter SG&A
expenses increased in 1995 to 32.9% from 21.2% in 1994. On a year-to-date basis,
1995 SG&A expenses totalled $119,353, a $91,426 increase over the $27,927
recorded in the first half of 1994.

Significant Pacesetter related goodwill has been included in 1995 SG&A expenses.
As a percentage of net sales, Pacesetter SG&A expenses were higher than heart
valve operations because Pacesetter uses a commission based third party
distributor sales force in the U.S. and all international markets except Western
Europe. The Company also established a Western European distribution
infrastructure as a result of the Pacesetter acquisition which has increased
SG&A expenses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $18,420
and $2,557 for the second quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively. For the first
six months, R&D expenses totalled $34,448 and $5,247 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, first half R&D expenses increased in
1995 to 9.4% from 3.9% in 1994.

The higher spending level reflects the addition of Pacesetter's high level of
R&D expense which results from continued enhancements in pacemaker technology
and processes. Pacesetter has major ongoing R&D programs in the bradycardia and
tachycardia areas, as well as development of a new programmer. In addition, R&D
expenses increased in the area of tissue heart valve technology.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). The Pacesetter acquisition was funded by debt and
internal funds. Consequently, interest income significantly decreased and the
Company began to incur interest expense. Interest expense was approximately
$3,700 in the second quarter and $7,700 for the first half of 1995. Interest
income totalled approximately $1,700 in the second quarter and $3,300 in the
first half of 1995 versus nearly $3,900 and $7,500 in the comparable periods of
1994.

INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company's 1995 effective tax rate was 31%, a 2.5
percentage point increase over the 28.5% effective tax rate in 1994. The higher
effective tax rate was due to reduced tax exempt interest income as a result of
the Pacesetter acquisition, lower tax benefits derived from the Company's Puerto
Rican operations as a result of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) changes made in 1993
and generally higher taxed income at Pacesetter.

OUTLOOK. The Company expects further consolidation within the worldwide health
care industry, advances in medical technology necessitating larger R& D
expenditures and continued emphasis on cost effective clinical outcomes.
Competitive pressures, hospital and other provider consolidations and various
health care reform agendas may negatively impact product sales and restrict
pricing flexibility.

An Internal Revenue Service proposed change to IRC Section 936 pertaining to the
computation of Puerto Rican profits would, if finalized in its current form,
reduce the benefits the Company derives from its Puerto Rican operations. The
Company cannot predict when or if the proposed change to the regulation will
become final. No provision has been made for this proposed change.

The Company continues to seek further diversification opportunities in the form
of acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships and investments in emerging
technology companies as well as through internal R&D. The size, timing and
financial impact of such efforts cannot be predicted.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

The financial condition of the Company at June 30, 1995, continues to remain
strong. Long-term debt was reduced to $205,000, a $20,000 decrease during the
second quarter and $50,000 decrease during the first six months of 1995. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.7 to 1 at June 30, 1995.

Total assets increased $14,782 during the second quarter of 1995. Cash and
marketable securities increased $3,015 primarily as a result of cash flow from
operations after debt repayment. Accounts receivable increased $6,558 in
conjunction with an increase in the second quarter net sales as compared to net
sales in the first quarter and more sales into emerging markets that have longer
payment cycles. Inventories increased $11,916 during the quarter primarily as a
result of anticipated summer plant closings and significant new product
offerings.

Shareholders' equity increased $34,136 during the quarter to $624,973. The
increase resulted from net income of $33,124, a net unrealized gain on
available-for-sale securities of $1,860 and $2,471 associated with the exercise
of stock options and the issuance of restricted shares, less a foreign currency
translation adjustment of $3,319.
