                              DAIG CORPORATION
                  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
and six months ended March 31, 1996 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 "Merger
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 has scheduled a Special Meeting of Shareholders for May
30, 1996 to consider and vote on the Merger Agreement.  The
Company's Proxy Statement for the Special Meeting was first
mailed to shareholders on May 1, 1996.

    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.  At the close
of business on April 26, 1996, the record date for the Special
Meeting, directors and executive officers of Daig, in the
aggregate, were entitled to vote 8,370,800 shares of Daig Common
Stock, representing approximately 54.9% of the total shares
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.  Daig expects that such
directors and executive officers will vote all of such shares for
approval of the Merger Agreement; to the extent that such
directors and executive officers vote in accordance with Daig's
expectations, approval of the Merger Agreement is assured.

    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.  


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 $4,925,000 or
19% during the first six months of fiscal year 1996.  The cash
component of working capital increased  approximately $2,519,000
due to the overall rise in sales volume.  Inventory increased
approximately $2,073,000 during the first six months of fiscal
1996.  The increase reflects the timing of certain raw material
purchases and steps taken to launch and support new products
without back order problems.  

    The Company had no borrowings outstanding on March 31, 1996
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  Note D, 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.


(3) Results Of Operations

    Sales increased 15% and 16%, respectively in the three and
six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period one
year ago.  Approximately seventy-three 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 two quarters 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 products 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 electrophysiology catheters and
percutaneous catheter introducers. 

        
    Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased 1.5
percentage points to 68.6% for the six months ended March 31,
1996, versus the same period one year ago.  This change is
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 .5 percentage points to 26.1% in the six months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 26.6% in the same period one
year ago.  The Company is receiving return on its prior expansion
of sales and marketing activities while it is continuing to
invest in these areas to support further growth of the business. 
Engineering and development expenses increased approximately
$203,000 during the six months ended March 31, 1996, 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 six months ended March
31, 1996, 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.
