Item 5.  Other Events
A press release was issued August 10, 2000.  The relevant portion of the text of
that release was as follows:

MALLINCKRODT REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2000 EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS OF $2.96,
UP 23 PERCENT OVER PRIOR YEAR

ST. LOUIS, MO., August 10, 2000 - Mallinckrodt Inc. (NYSE:MKG) today reported
fiscal year 2000 earnings from continuing operations of $205 million, or $2.96
per share on a diluted basis, compared with $173 million, or $2.40 per share,
last year. Excluding a net nonrecurring gain, earnings were $201 million, or
$2.90 per share, representing increases of 16 percent and 21 percent,
respectively. The net nonrecurring gain resulted from the sale of HemoCue, a
blood testing equipment company; divestiture of the medical gas business; a
charge for consolidation of respiratory manufacturing operations; and the write-
down of an investment in an equity security related to the imaging business.

     Fiscal 2000 cash earnings per share, defined as earnings from continuing
operations, excluding net nonrecurring gains plus amortization, were $4.08 per
share.

     Net sales for fiscal 2000 were $2.7 billion compared to $2.6 billion in
fiscal 1999. Excluding sales from divested businesses, sales increased 6 percent
over the prior year. Sales to customers outside the United States were $857
million, or 32 percent of total company sales.

     "We are extremely pleased with our fiscal year results," said C. Ray
Holman, chairman and CEO. "This is the eighth consecutive quarter in which we
have exceeded earnings expectations. We're also pleased that our working capital
initiatives have resulted in a significant improvement in both inventory and
receivables turnover. Mallinckrodt's consistent financial performance is one of
many reasons Tyco values and is interested in acquiring the strong healthcare
business we have built over the last three years."

Fourth Quarter Performance

     Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 3 percent to $698
million, compared with $679 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Excluding sales from divested businesses, sales increased 8 percent over the
same quarter last year. Sales to customers outside the United States were $217
million, or 31 percent of total company sales.

     Earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000
were $63 million, or 93 cents per share on a diluted basis, representing
increases of 20 percent and 27 percent, respectively, over the $52 million, or
73 cents per share, reported for the same quarter last year.

Segment Results

     Mallinckrodt's Respiratory segment reported fourth-quarter sales of $284
million, compared with $295 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Excluding divested businesses, Respiratory sales growth was 7 percent.
Respiratory operating earnings, excluding the charge for manufacturing
consolidations and the impact of divested businesses, were $50 million, which
represents a 51 percent increase over the $33 million earned in the same quarter
last year. Strong market acceptance of new pulse oximetry and alternate care
products contributed to Respiratory's performance.

     The Pharmaceuticals segment reported an 18 percent increase in fourth-
quarter sales of $208 million, compared with $176 million in the fourth quarter
last year.  Operating earnings were $39 million, a 30 percent increase over the
$30 million reported in the same quarter last year. Fourth quarter results
reflect the continued strength of the bulk and dosage pharmaceuticals
operations.

     Mallinckrodt's Imaging segment reported fourth-quarter sales of $206
million, a 1 percent decline from the $208 million reported in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999.  Imaging operating earnings declined to $15 million,
from $29 million last year, due to lower manufacturing volume and costs of
implementing alternate synthesis for ioversol, the raw material for Optiray.

Proposed Merger

     On June 28, 2000, Mallinckrodt and Tyco International Ltd. entered into a
definitive agreement under which Tyco will acquire Mallinckrodt. The merger is
expected to close this fall following the necessary shareholder and regulatory
approvals.

     Mallinckrodt will hold a special meeting of shareholders in New York City
on September 19, 2000, to consider and vote on the proposed merger. The Company
plans to begin mailing definitive proxy materials to shareholders over the next
few days.

                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS

Mallinckrodt Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively, are called the "Company"

     million pretax gain included in nonoperating income, net, $5.5 million net
     of tax for the year ended June 30, 2000.

(b)  Included in operating earnings for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2000
     are pretax charges of $2.7 million and $18.2 million, respectively,
     associated with product line rationalizations and the consolidation of
     certain manufacturing facilities within the Respiratory segment. The charge

     charge of $10.5 million, $6.5 million net of tax, associated with the
     write-down of an investment in an equity security due to a decline in fair
     value considered to be other than temporary. The pretax charge is included
     in nonoperating income, net for the year ended June 30, 2000.
