NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Results for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 included a non-cash charge
    for write-off of purchased research and development of $3.7 million, $2.3
    million after taxes, or 3 cents per share, relating to Mallinckrodt
    Veterinary's acquisition of Syntro Corporation.  The charge was recorded as
    research and development expenses.

2.  Included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31,
    1996, are earnings, net of taxes, from the divested feed ingredients
    business of $4.3 million.  Corresponding amounts were $5.0 million and $14.5
    million for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1995, respectively. 
    Other principal factors affecting discontinued operations were an after tax
    gain of $34.2 million on the sale of the feed ingredients business and an
    after tax provision for additional environmental costs of $15.6 million.

3.  Provisions for income taxes were based on estimated annual effective tax
    rates for each fiscal year.  The Company's effective tax rate for the first
    nine months was 37.3 percent, compared to last year's 37.5 percent.  This
    decrease reflects an earnings mix toward lower statutory tax rate
    jurisdictions and the utilization of certain operating losses.

4.  The Company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal
    proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary
    course of its business activities.  In addition, in connection with laws
    and regulations pertaining to the protection of the environment, the 
    Company is a party to several environmental remediation investigations and
    clean-ups and, along with other companies, has been named a "potentially
    responsible party" for certain waste disposal sites.  Each of these matters
    is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these
    matters will be decided unfavorably against the Company.  The Company has
    established accruals for matters that are in its view probable and
    reasonably estimable.  Based on information presently available, management
    believes that existing accruals are sufficient to satisfy any known
    environmental liabilities.  Further, any additional liability that may
    ultimately result from the resolution of these maters is not expected to
    have a material effect on Mallinckrodt's business, financial condition or
    results of operations.

5.  Earnings per common share were based on the weighted average number of
    common and common equivalent shares outstanding (76,670,336 and 77,389,344
    for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and 75,525,393 and
    77,276,374 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively).

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS [1]

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
- -------

Earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter ended March 31, 1996
were $51 million, or 67 cents per share.  This represents a 20 percent increase
over the comparable 56 cents per share for the prior year.  Net sales for the
quarter were up 8 percent to $573 million, compared to $529 million a year ago. 
Net earnings for the third quarter were $48 million, or 64 cents per share,
compared with $47 million, or 61 cents per share, during the same period a year
ago.  Net earnings for the prior year third quarter include $5.0 million of
earnings, net of taxes, from the divested feed ingredients business.

For the nine months, earnings from continuing operations were $125 million, or
$1.62 per share, up 15 percent from the corresponding prior year per share
amount.  These results reflect a non-cash charge of $3.7 million, $2.3 million
after taxes, or 3 cents per share, associated with the acquisition of Syntro
Corporation.  Excluding this charge, earnings from continuing operations were
$1.65 per share, a 17 percent increase over the comparable $1.41 per share for
the prior year.  Net sales for the nine months were up 10 percent to $1.6
billion, compared to $1.4 billion last year.  Net earnings for the nine months
were $145 million, or $1.88 per share, compared with $121 million, or $1.56 per
share, last year.  Fiscal 1996 net earnings include the gain resulting from the
sale of the feed ingredients business in the second quarter, partially offset by
a second quarter adjustment of provisions for environmental costs related to
discontinued operations.  Also included in net earnings are earnings from the
divested feed ingredients business amounting to $4.3 million and $14.5 million,
net of taxes, for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
respectively.

Mallinckrodt Chemical's earnings were $32.3 million and $69.2 million for the
third quarter and nine months, respectively, representing increases of 21
percent and 18 percent over the same prior year periods.  These results include
the equity in the earnings of Tastemaker, the Company's flavors joint venture,
of $8.0 million and $21.2 million for the quarter and nine months, respectively.
Corresponding prior year amounts for Tastemaker were $6.3 million for the
quarter and $16.5 million for the nine months.  Net sales increased 19 percent
and 30 percent compared to the corresponding prior year quarter and nine months,
respectively.  Catalyst, performance and lab chemicals sales increased 26
percent for the quarter and 49 percent for the nine months, primarily from the
acquisition of J.T. Baker in February 1995.  Pharmaceutical specialties sales
increased by 12 percent and 9 percent for the quarter and nine months,
respectively.  Continued strength in sales of medicinal narcotics and increased
acetaminophen (APAP) volume were the main contributors to the higher sales.

Mallinckrodt Medical's operating earnings increased 12 percent for the quarter,
compared to the same prior year period, to $64.5 million and 13 percent for the
nine months to $181.1 million.  Net sales improved 6 percent and 4 percent for
the quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior
year periods.  Sales volume improvements, dampened by competitive pricing,
characterized Medical's sales performance.  Imaging sales for the quarter were 6
percent higher than the prior year and sales for the nine months were up 3
percent, primarily from the acquisition of Liebel-Flarsheim in January 1996. 
Anesthesiology and critical care sales for the quarter and nine months increased
5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, driven largely by respiratory therapy
products.  Productivity programs initiated during the last several years helped
earnings improve at a faster rate than sales.

Mallinckrodt Veterinary's operating earnings for the third quarter decreased 10
percent to $7.6 million due to adverse weather conditions and higher research
and development costs.  Operating earnings for the nine months were $16.8
million, reflecting the same business influences as the second quarter. 
Excluding a second quarter non-cash pre-tax charge of $3.7 million for write-off
of purchased research and development associated with the acquisition of Syntro
Corporation, nine months operating earnings improved 11 percent over the $18.4
million recorded last year.  Net sales decreased 2 percent and 1 percent for the
quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year
periods.  Higher third quarter sales volumes in Asia due to a new distribution
agreement were more than offset by volume declines throughout the rest of the
world.  Sales for both comparative periods also reflect the exit of certain
Latin American distributorships last fiscal year.

Corporate Matters
- -----------------
Corporate expense increased $1.9 million for the quarter and $2.7 million for
the nine months compared to last year, primarily due to consulting expenses
associated with the strategic change initiative announced in December, 1995. 
The effective tax rate for the nine months was 37.3 percent, compared to last
year's 37.5 percent.  This decrease reflects an earnings mix toward lower
statutory tax rate jurisdictions and the utilization of certain operating
losses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial resources are expected to continue to be adequate to
support existing businesses and fund new opportunities.  Since June 30, 1995,
cash and cash equivalents increased $26 million.  Operations provided $160 
million of cash, while acquisition and capital spending totaled $277 million. 
The Company's current ratio at March 31, 1996,  was 1.4:1.  Debt as a percentage
of invested capital was 42 percent.

The Company's Board of Directors previously authorized repurchase of a total of
42 million shares of its common stock.  Thirty-three million shares have been
repurchased under this authorization, 3.5 million during the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.

In September 1995 and November 1995, the Company issued $100 million of 6.75%
notes due September 15, 2005, and $100 million of 6.5% notes due November 15,
2007, respectively, from the $250 million shelf registration statement filed in
February of 1995.  As of March 31, 1996, $50 million of securities under this
shelf and $50 million of securities under a shelf registration statement filed
with the SEC in 1992 remain unissued.

The Company has a $550 million private-placement commercial paper program.  This
program is backed by $550 million of U.S. lines of credit available until
November 1999.  At March 31, 1996, commercial paper borrowings amounted to $196
million.  There were no outstanding borrowings under the U.S. lines of credit at
March 31, 1996.  At March 31, 1996, non-U.S. lines of credit totaling $218
million were also available and borrowings under these lines amounted to $39
million.  The non-U.S. lines are cancellable at any time.

Estimated capital spending for the year ending June 30, 1996, is approximately
$200 million.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings
covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its
business activities.  In addition, in connection with laws and regulations
pertaining to the protection of the environment, the Company is a party to
several environmental remediation investigations and clean-ups and, along with
other companies, has been named a "potentially responsible party" for certain
waste disposal sites.  Each of these matters is subject to various
uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters will be decided
unfavorably against the Company.  The Company has established accruals for
matters that are in its view probable and reasonably estimable.  Based on
information presently available, management believes that existing accruals are
sufficient to satisfy any known environmental liabilities.  Further, any
additional liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these
matters is not expected to have a material effect on Mallinckrodt's business,
financial condition or results of operations.

Previously Reported Matters
- ---------------------------

The following is a discussion of material developments in proceedings previously
reported in the Company's Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, as
amended by the Company's reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995:

Ashtabula County, Ohio  -- The Company has accepted the previously described
buy-out settlement in this matter.  Court approval of the settlement was
obtained in April 1996.  The Company does not anticipate making any further
reports on this matter.

Pierce County, Washington -- The plaintiff in this matter, Centrum Properties,
Inc., has filed a motion for summary judgment; the Company's response is due in
May 1996.  The Company is currently scheduling a meeting with the Washington
Department of Ecology to review proposed terms of an agreed order for clean-up
for the site.

Springville, Utah -- The Company has negotiated an interim settlement agreement
with Ensign-Bickford Industries, Inc., and Ensign Bickford Company to share
costs of remediating groundwater that allegedly has been impacted by nitrates
and explosive compounds emanating from an explosives plant in Springville, Utah.
