                  HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
 
      The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report 
are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or 
for the entire fiscal year.  The Company believes that the quarterly 
information presented includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal, 
recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair 
presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read 
in conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements. 
 
2.  FOREIGN CURRENCY 
 
      The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain 
firm sales commitments to customers which are denominated in foreign 
currencies.  The purpose of the Company's foreign hedging activities is to 
protect the Company from the risk that the eventual dollar cash flows 
resulting from the sale of products to international customers will be 
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.  Gains and losses realized 
on these contracts are recorded in operations, offsetting the related 
foreign currency transactions.  The cash flows related to the gains and 
losses on these foreign currency hedges are classified in the statements of 
cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. 
 
      At June 29, 1996 the Company had forward exchange contracts, all 
having maturities of less than one year, to exchange foreign currencies 
(major European currencies and Japanese yen) for U.S. dollars totaling 
$120.7 million.  Of that balance, $70.2 million represented contracts for 
terms of 30 days or less.  Gross unrealized gains from hedging firm sales 
commitments, based on current spot rates, were $4.3 million at June 29, 
1996. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the 
transactions being hedged are recognized. 
 
3.  INVENTORIES 
 
      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the 
cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead.  Cost is determined on 
the first-in, first-out method. 
 
      Inventories consist of the following:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Three Months Ended June 29, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended July 1, 1995 
 
      Net revenues in 1996 increased 9.8% to $75.5 million from $68.8 
million in 1995.  Worldwide disposable sales increased 7%, with an increase 
of 21% internationally, partially due to favorable currency impact, offset 
by a decrease of 12% in the domestic market. Sales of disposables products 
accounted for approximately 86% and 88%, respectively, of  net revenues for 
the three months ended June 29,1996, and July 1,1995 
 
      Gross profit in 1996 increased to $42.3 million from $37.3 million in 
the same period of 1995.  As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit 
increased 1.7% to 56.0% in 1996 from 54.3% in 1995. The 1.7% increase was 
attributable to a higher percentage of international sales which have a 
better gross profit margin than domestic sales and favorable currency 
impact. 
 
      The Company expended $5.0 million in 1996 on research and development 
(6.7% of net revenues) and $4.3 million in the same period of 1995 (6.3% of 
net revenues). 
 
      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $23.1 
million in 1996 from $19.4 million in 1995 and increased as a percentage of 
net revenues to 30.6% from 28.2%.  The increase resulted from increased 
staffing and related personnel costs in both the  domestic and international 
markets. 

      Interest expense decreased in 1996 to $0.4 million from $0.6 million 
in the same period of 1995 due to a decreased level of borrowing.  Total 
debt increased $0.7 million to $19.2 million as compared to $18.5 million as 
of March 30, 1996.  Total debt decreased $15.2 million from a year ago. 
 
      The provision for income taxes remained at approximately 35% as a 
percentage of pretax income.  The annualized rate for the full 12 months of 
fiscal 1997 will be approximately 35%. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources 

      The Company historically has satisfied its cash requirements 
principally from internally generated cash flow, stock offerings, and bank 
borrowings. During the three months ended June 29, 1996, the Company 
utilized $1.4 million of its' cash flow for operating activities compared to 
generating $7.2 million in cash flow from operating activities for the three 
months ended July 1, 1995. The Company's need for funds was driven primarily 
by increases in sales-type leases of $3.6 million, accounts receivable of 
$5.3 million due to higher quarterly sales, and inventory increases of $2.1 
million.  Cash flows from an increase in revolving credit agreements totaled 
$1.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 1996. During the three 
months ended June 29, 1996, net cash used for capital expenditures was $4.2 
million related to equipment utilized in the U.S. commercial plasma business 
and investments in facilities and manufacturing equipment. The Company 
believes that committed bank lines, combined with internally generated 
funds, will be sufficient to meet future liquidity and capital needs. 
 
      At June 29, 1996, the Company had working capital of $115.8 million. 
This reflects an  increase of $3.3 million in working capital as compared 
with $112.5 million as of March 30, 1996.
