                  Notes to Condensed Financial Statements


Note A - Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited condensed 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.  They do not include all information and footnotes required by 
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  
However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the
information disclosed in the notes to financial statements included in the 
Annual Report on Form 10-K of Daig Corporation (the "Company") for the year 
ended September 30,1995.

    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 months ended December 31, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
ending September 30, 1996.


Note B - Stock Split 

    On February 10, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of
the common shares to be distributed on March 8, 1995 to holders of record on 
February 24, 1995.  All common shares and earnings per share data included in 
the condensed financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock 
split.


Note C - Income Taxes

    The income tax footnote to financial statements included in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995, disclosed the 
status of an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examination of the Company's 
federal income tax returns for fiscal year 1993 and 1994.

    In January 1996, the IRS completed its examination of the Company's 1994 and
1993 income tax returns with no material change to the returns as originally 
filed.


Note D - Subsequent Event

    On January 29, 1996 the Company and St. Jude Medical, Inc. ("St. Jude") 
signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement").  Terms of the 
Agreement provide that each share of the Company's outstanding common stock 
will be converted into the right to receive .651733 shares of St. Jude common 
stock. 

    The merger will be accounted for as a "pooling of interests" and is intended
to qualify as a reorganization (tax-free to the shareholders of the Company) 
under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Pending 
the clearance of appropriate regulatory filings, the Company has postponed its 
Regular Meeting of Shareholders originally scheduled for April 12, 1996.  The 
Company's proxy statement will be amended to incorporate the information 
necessary to request a shareholder vote on approval of the merger.  The 
Company's articles of incorporation require that, for approval, the holders of
a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting must vote in favor of the
merger. 


Note E - Reclassifications

    Certain of the fiscal 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 
the financial statement presentation used in fiscal 1996.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
                          Results of Operations.
                                     

(1)(2)  Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Net working capital increased by approximately $2,501,000 or 9.7% during the
first three months of fiscal year 1996.  The cash component of working capital 
increased approximately $2,490,000 due to the overall rise in sales volume.  
Inventory increased approximately $1,044,000 during the first three months of 
fiscal 1996.  The increase reflects increases in finished goods of new items 
within existing product lines and the timing of certain raw material purchases.
The income taxes payable component of working capital increased during the first
three months of fiscal 1996 by approximately $1,180,000, due primarily to the 
timing of tax payments.

    The Company had no borrowings outstanding on December 31, 1995 under a
$4,000,000 revolving line of credit.  The line of credit is available to 
supplement working capital needs.

    As more fully described in Item 5., on January 29, 1995 the Company and St.
Jude Medical, Inc. ("St. Jude") signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the 
"Agreement"). Terms of the Agreement provide that each share of the Company's 
outstanding common stock will be converted into the right to receive .651733 
shares of St. Jude common stock.


(3) Results Of Operations

    Sales increased 17.1% in the three months ended December 31, 1995 compared 
to the same period one year ago.  Approximately sixty-five percent of the 
Company's sales gain came from the domestic market while the remaining gain 
reflected expansion of export sales.  Daig's sales success during the first 
quarter of fiscal year 1996, compared with the same period one year ago, was the
result primarily of an increase in unit volume sales of existing disposable 
product lines due to the continued expansion of marketing and sales activities 
of the Company.  Sales results also reflect the impact of ongoing additions to 
the Company's lines of electrophysiology catheters and percutaneous catheter 
introducers. 

        
    Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased 2.6 percentage points to 
69.8% for the three months ended December 31, 1995, versus the same period one 
year ago.  This change is equally attributed primarily to (1) continued 
improvements in manufacturing efficiency based on trade secret technology and 
economies of scale and (2) greater use of existing manufacturing capacity.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales 
declined 1.8 percentage points to 24.9% in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 
as compared to 26.7% in the same period one year ago.  The Company is receiving
return on its prior expansion of sales, marketing, and engineering activities 
while it is continuing to invest in these areas to support further growth of the
business.  Engineering and development expenses increased approximately $191,069
during the three months ended December 31, 1995, compared to the same period one
year ago.  This increase reflects the Company's expanded clinical research and 
other product development activities. 

    Interest Income increased during the quarter ended December 31, 1995, 
reflecting the increased cash available to invest.

    Management cautions against drawing conclusions about business trends on the
basis of quarterly or other interim results, and believes that operating results
must be viewed over a longer period.

          On January 29, 1995, the Company and St. Jude Medical, Inc. ("St. 
          Jude") signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement").  
          Terms of the Agreement provide that each share of the Company's 
          outstanding common stock will be converted into the right to receive 
          .651733 shares of St. Jude common stock.  The Company will continue as
          a wholly-owned subsidiary of St. Jude and operate as Daig Corporation,
          a St. Jude Medical Company.  Both the Company's Chairman and Chief 
          Executive Officer, John J. Fleischhacker, and the Company's President
          and Chief Operating Officer, Daniel J. Starks, will continue to hold 
          the positions that they currently hold with the Company.  In addition,
          upon closing, Mr. Starks will be appointed to the St. Jude Board of 
          Directors.  The merger will be accounted for as a "pooling of 
          interests" and is intended to qualify as a reorganization (tax-free
          to the shareholders of the Company) under the provisions of Section 
          368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Pending the clearance of 
          appropriate regulatory filings, the Company has postponed its Regular

          a meeting must vote in favor of the merger.
