                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ACCUFIX RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC.
(A SUBSIDIARY OF PACIFIC DUNLOP LIMITED)

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of assets, liabilities and
parent investment of the Telectronics Group of Pacific Dunlop Limited (the
acquired business, as discussed in Note 1) at June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the
related combined statements of revenues and direct operating expenses and
changes in parent investment for the years then ended set out on pages 5-15, all
expressed in United States dollars. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the Telectronics Group. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Australian generally accepted
auditing standards which are consistent in all material respects with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statements of the acquired business were prepared
pursuant to the agreement with St. Jude Medical, Inc. described in Note 1, and
are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position or
results of operations of the business as operated within the Pacific Dunlop
Limited Group.

The management of the Telectronics Group has not presented combined statements
of cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996. Presentation of such
statements summarizing the acquired business' operating, investing and financing
activities, is required by generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States.

In our opinion, except that the omission of combined statements of cash flows
results in an incomplete presentation as explained in the preceding paragraph,
the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets, liabilities and parent investment of the
Telectronics Group of Pacific Dunlop Limited as acquired by St. Jude Medical,
Inc., as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related revenues and direct
operating expenses and changes in parent investment for the years then ended in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

                               TELECTRONICS GROUP

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
                          (U.S. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

NOTE  1.      THE TELECTRONICS GROUP

The Telectronics Group as presented in these combined financial statements
represents the assets and liabilities and revenues and direct operating expenses
of those entities or operations which have been acquired by St. Jude Medical,
Inc. under agreements completed as at November 29, 1996 (the "acquired
business").

The Telectronics Group has previously operated as a unit of the Pacific Dunlop
Limited consolidated structure, in the form of separate legal entities in a
number of countries, with manufacturing operations being located in the United
States and Australia.

Under the terms of the acquisition, the manufacturing operations in Australia
were excluded from the sale because these operations had been discontinued by
Pacific Dunlop prior to November 29, 1996. Corporate entities in Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles and New
Zealand were acquired, together with operations and substantially all of the
operations and assets and certain liabilities in Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom. To the extent that
transactions occurred between the entities included in the purchase agreements,
the principles of combination have been applied whereby intra group balances and
gains and losses have been eliminated. Stockholders equity, in respect of those
legal entities which are included in the acquisition, together with the balance
of the remaining net assets of the acquired business at June 30, 1996 and 1995
is presented as parent investment.

The entities which operated in 1996 and 1995 and whose stock (shares) are not
encompassed by the acquisition, are generally named defendants in pending
litigation. The obligations of these defendants have not been assumed by St.
Jude Medical, Inc., and accordingly various accruals of legal and warranty
costs, and provisions in respect of ongoing patient care and monitoring of
product conditions - relevant to the outstanding litigation issues are excluded
from the statements of assets, liabilities, and parent investment presented
herein.

Additionally, the expenses recorded in the 1996 and 1995 financial years which
relate directly to the outstanding legal and product and patient monitoring
issues, which are retained by continuing subsidiaries of the Pacific Dunlop
Group, are not reflected in the direct operating expenses of the acquired
business. Unrelated to the outstanding litigation referred to above which does
not form part of the acquisition, the major manufacturing facility in the United
States which was acquired by St. Jude Medical, Inc. was unable to manufacture
product for sale in the United States due to entering into a consent decree with
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This consent decree operated from June
1995 until June 20, 1996. Consequently, management considers that the revenues
and direct operating expenses of the acquired business for the year ended June
30, 1996 are not indicative of the normal operations had the plant facility been
able to manufacture product for sale in the United States.

In addition to the exclusion of litigation related charges and accruals which do
not constitute a part of the acquired business, the accompanying combined
financial statements do not include intercompany interest expense or income
taxes, except where related to a legal entity, in accordance with the agreements
of sale referred to above. The combined financial statements present the
financial position and revenues and direct operating expenses of the following
entities which have been acquired by St. Jude Medical, Inc.:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make 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
reported amounts of revenues and direct operating expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE   2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

i)     REPORTING CURRENCY AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

       The combined financial statements are presented in United States dollars,
       the reporting currency adopted by the acquired business. Foreign currency
       financial statements of non-United States entities included in the
       combination comprising the acquired business are translated into United
       States dollars at the year-end rate for assets and liabilities and the
       weighted average rate for the year for revenues and direct operating
       expenses. Translation adjustments resulting therefrom are included as a
       component of parent investment.

ii)    INVENTORIES

       Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates
       actual cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis), and net realizable
       value (market). Standard costs include appropriate amounts of
       manufacturing overhead.

iii)   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

       Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
       amortization are provided, principally on a straight line basis, over the
       following estimated useful lives.

                                                                     Years
         Buildings                                                   10-40
         Manufacturing plant                                          5-10
         Technical facilities, furniture, 
          fixtures and office equipment                               3-10

iv)    PENSIONS AND POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS

       Employees in varying jurisdictions are parties to certain defined
       contribution pension plans. Contributions made by the acquired business
       are charged to expense in accordance with the plan obligations, which are
       generally on a monthly or annual basis. Post retirement benefits are not
       offered to employees and no liability exists. Statutory employee
       entitlements which exist in certain jurisdictions in which the acquired
       business operates are accrued and charged to expense on a regular basis,
       and accrued entitlements are fully recorded at each balance date in
       respect of obligations attaching to past employment.

v)     INCOME TAXES

       The entities acquired, as set out in Note 1, are taxpayers in their
       respective jurisdictions. Income taxes attributable to those entities are
       reflected in these financial statements. The other acquired operations,
       as set out in Note 1, have predominantly been included in the income tax
       structures of other subsidiaries of the Pacific Dunlop Limited Group.
       Accordingly, no income taxes in respect of these operations have been
       reflected in the accompanying combined financial statements.

vi)    FUNDING

       The acquired business, with the exception of minor banking facilities for
       day to day operations, has principally obtained all of its funding
       requirements from subsidiaries of the Pacific Dunlop Limited Group. These
       funding requirements have been extensive, particularly during the 1996
       fiscal year when manufacturing and selling activities in the United
       States were curtailed by the consent decree referred to in Note 1. All
       intercompany funding outstanding at June 30, 1996 and 1995 is reflected
       as a component of parent investment, and, as disclosed in Note 1, any
       intercompany interest paid or incurred in the years ended on those dates
       has been excluded from direct operating expenses.

vii)   INTANGIBLE ASSETS

       Patents are stated at cost and amortized over the useful life of the
       patents.

viii)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

       Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for
       repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

ix)    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES

       Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

NOTE 4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       A.  Legal Matters

       Telectronics Group is involved in various legal actions and claims
       against products both in the ordinary course of its business, and in
       respect of additional litigation issues associated with the implantation
       of certain pacemaker leads between 1987 and 1994. The defense of, and
       responsibility for, all matters emanating out of products completed prior
       to November 29, 1996, is retained by the sellers under the terms of the
       purchase agreements referred to in Note 1. Consequently, certain costs
       incurred and accruals made in respect of legal claims defense and patient
       monitoring are not included in these combined financial statements.

       B.  Operating Leases

       The acquired business is a party to a number of operating leases,
       principally in foreign jurisdictions, in respect of office premises.
       Lease expense in the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was approximately
       $2,040 and $1,700, respectively. Future minimum operating lease payments
       subsequent to June 30, 1996 are: 1997 -- $1,569, 1998 -- $1,308, 1999 -
       2001 -- $1,213, and later than 2001 -- $206.

       C.  Workers Compensation and Environmental Issues

       The acquired business does not operate in a field which is subject to any
       specific compensation or environmental matters. Workers compensation
       insurance expense is incurred in the jurisdictions in which the acquired
       business operates, as required by respective legislation. No significant
       expense has been incurred by the acquired business in respect of such
       matters.

NOTE   5.     PARENT INVESTMENT

       Parent investment at June 30, 1996 and 1995 is comprised of the relevant
       Pacific Dunlop Limited and affiliates equity, loan and trade account
       balances relative to the entities and other net assets forming part of
       the sale/purchase transaction referred to in Note 1.

NOTE   6.     GEOGRAPHIC DATA

       As set out in Note 1, the acquired business, subject to regulatory
       approvals, manufactures product only in the United States. Export sales
       are derived through sales offices maintained in the countries detailed in
       Note 1.

       The export sales derived in the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were
       $102,304 and $133,789, respectively.

       The acquired business operates solely in the field of implantable medical
       devices. The acquired business had no individual customer which purchased
       greater than 10% of total revenues during the years ended June 30, 1996
       and 1995. The acquired business sells product to a diverse range of
       hospitals, medical practitioners and institutions throughout the world.

NOTE   7.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

       The Telectronics Group has operated as a unit of the Pacific Dunlop
       Limited Group. The acquired business' transactions with Pacific Dunlop
       Limited or its affiliates have been primarily related to the derivation
       of funding as discussed in Note 2.

                      NOTE TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995


1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited combined financial
statements of Telectronics Group contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the assets, liabilities and parent investment as of September 30, 1996,
and the revenues and direct operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of revenues and direct operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. These combined financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the years
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 included herein.


                             ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC.
             Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
give effect to the acquisition by St. Jude Medical, Inc. (the "Company") of
Telectronics Group using the purchase method of accounting, and are based on
estimates and assumptions set forth below and in the notes to such statements,
which include pro forma adjustments. These pro forma financial statements are
based upon the historical financial statements of St. Jude Medical, Inc.,
adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Telectronics Group which was
consummated November 29, 1996. The St. Jude Medical, Inc. financial statements
have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the merger with Daig
Corporation which was consummated on May 31, 1996 and accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. The aggregate purchase price of Telectronics Group was
$135 million, subject to adjustment based on the closing net asset value. The
Company has agreed to make additional payments, to a maximum of $25 million on a
net present value basis, based upon a percentage of certain sales through the
year 2002.

The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, give effect to
the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of 1995. Such statements
are based on historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of
Telectronics Group for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Telectronics unaudited results for the calendar year ended December 31, 1995 and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 have been used to conform with St. Jude
Medical's fiscal year. The operating results of Telectronics Group are included
in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition, November 29,
1996.

The proforma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996 combines
the respective St. Jude Medical, Inc. and Telectronics Group balance sheets at
September 30, 1996.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon estimates, available information and
certain assumptions that management deemed appropriate. Final purchase
accounting adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented
herein. In connection with the acquisition, $32.2 million of purchased research
and development was charged against earnings in the fourth quarter 1996 in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited pro
forma consolidated financial information does not profess to represent the
Company's results of operations had the above transaction, in fact, occurred on
these dates, or to project the Company's combined results of operations for any
date or period. The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read
in conjunction with the Company's and Telectronics Group's historical financial
statements and notes thereto.
