PART I - - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The response to Part I, Item 1 is submitted as a separate section
of this report.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Empi, Inc.'s (the "Company") total sales for the 1995 second quarter equaled
$16.3 million compared to $16.0 million for the second quarter of 1994, an
increase of 1.2 percent. Total sales for the first two quarters of 1995
equaled $32.8 million, a 7.9 percent increase versus same period sales of
$30.4 million for 1994.  Sales from the Company's core rehabilitation
products of  TENS (Trancutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) devices, NMES
(Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) devices, and related accessory
products decreased 6.0 percent and increased .3 percent from 1994's second
quarter and first half results, respectively.  Second quarter wholesale
business was particularly weak, reporting a decrease of 18 percent from the
prior year's second quarter level.  Sales from the Company's non-core
products of Innova PFS-Registered Trademark- (Pelvic Floor Stimulator),
Dupel-Registered Trademark- non-invasive drug delivery system, Advanced
Dynamic ROM-TM- and Ultraflex-Registered Trademark- dynamic orthosis, sEMG
(surface Electromyography Biofeedback), Pronex-TM- pneumatic device to manage
cervical pain, and other miscellaneous products increased 21.8 percent and
25.3 percent  from 1994's second quarter and first half, respectively.
Overall sales for the second quarter of 1995, versus the second quarter of
1994, were comprised of an increase in volume of 4.1 percent and a decrease
in pricing of 2.6 percent. International sales were 5.1 percent of total
sales for the second quarter of 1995 and 6.7 percent of total sales for the
first half of 1995, and compares to 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent of total
sales for the same periods in 1994.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 1995 was 74.2 percent of sales
compared to 76.4 percent of sales for the second quarter of 1994.  The gross
profit for the first half of 1995 was 73.4 percent of sales versus 75.8
percent of sales for the same period in 1994.  The primary contributors to
the lower gross profit percentages for the second quarter and first half of
1995 were higher manufacturing costs (mix and inflation), and increased
distribution costs due to the increase in volume of units shipped.  The
Company anticipates gross profit, as a percentage of sales, to remain near
its current level due to price sensitivity and product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1995
were $8.2 million compared to the $8.5 million recorded for the second
quarter in 1994.   Stated as a percent of sales SG&A expenses for the second
quarter were 50.4 percent and 53.3 percent for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the first half of 1995 were
$16.7 million and 50.8 percent of sales compared to $16.4 million and 54.0
percent of sales for the first half in 1994.  The decrease in expenses for
the second quarter of 1995 versus expenses for the same quarter of 1994 was
due mainly to lower provisions for bad debts, lower sales commissions, and
reduced expense levels from our fourth quarter 1994 workforce reduction.
These decreases were partially offset by higher expense provisions for 1995
incentive compensation plans.

FORM 10 - Q - - PART 1 - ITEM 2 (Continued)

Research and development costs were $.9 million and $1.7 million for the
second quarter and first half of 1995, respectively.  That compares to
spending for the same periods in 1994 of $.9 million and $1.6 million.   The
Company's R&D efforts for the second quarter and first half of 1995 have been
centered on the Advance Dynamic ROM orthosis and an expanded line of Innova
electrodes.

Interest income for the second quarter and the first half of 1995 was $179
thousand and $339 thousand, respectively.  Interest income for the same
periods in 1994 was $61 thousand and $111 thousand.  The increase in interest
income is attributable to the Company's improved cash position, which has
allowed the Company to increase its long and short term investments in
interest-bearing securities.  Interest expense was $32 thousand and $60
thousand for the second quarter and first half of 1995, respectively.
Interest expense for the same periods in 1994 was $39 thousand and $85
thousand.  The majority of interest expense for both years is due to an
interest-bearing note issued to finance the Company's acquisition of Nortech
in 1992. Also in the second quarter, the  Company realized a one time gain of
$70 thousand on the sale of securities that were written  down in the fourth
quarter of 1994.

Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $1.9 million compared to $1.7
million for the second quarter in 1994.  Net income for the first half of
1995 and 1994 was $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.  The 20
percent improvement in net income for the first half of 1995 has been driven
mainly by the following three factors; higher sales, a stronger focus on
spending controls, and higher interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company ended the second quarter of 1995 with a very sound and strong
financial position.  Working capital currently stands at $36.6 million
compared to $34.3 million at year end 1994, an increase of $2.3 million.

The Company has a $7.0 million line of credit, which it currently has not
borrowed against.  The Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments, together with cash flows from operations and the line of
credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated working capital
and capital outlay requirements.
