              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of  Medtronic,  Inc.  and  all of its  subsidiaries,  after  elimination  of all
significant   intercompany   transactions  and  accounts.   In  the  opinion  of
management,  all  adjustments  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of operating
results have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal  recurring  nature.
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of results
which may be expected for the year as a whole.

Note 2 - Accounting Change

On May 1, 1994, the company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard
(SFAS) 115. SFAS 115 established standards of financial accounting and reporting
for investments in equity securities that have readily  determinable fair values
and for all investments in debt securities. Those investments are classified and
accounted for in three categories. The company's securities investments that are
bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are
classified as trading securities.  Trading securities are recorded at fair value
on the balance sheet in cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments with
the change in fair value  during the period  included  in  earnings.  Securities
investments  that the  company  has the  positive  intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at amortized
cost in short-term  investments  or other  assets.  Securities  investments  not
classified as either  held-to-maturity  or trading  securities are classified as
available-for-sale  securities.  Available-for-sale  securities  are recorded at
fair value in short-term  investments or other assets on the balance sheet, with
the change in fair value during the period  excluded  from earnings and recorded
net of tax as a component of retained earnings.

In accordance  with SFAS 115, prior period  financial  statements  have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting  principle,  however, the effect of
this change to reflect the net  unrealized  holding  gains related to securities
classified as available-for-sale  was to increase shareholders' equity at May 1,
1994 by  $10,066  (net of $5,420  of  deferred  income  taxes).  This  change in
accounting  principle had no impact on the statement of earnings for the quarter
ended July 29, 1994.

There  were no  realized  gains or  losses  on sales  of  available-for-sale  or
held-to-maturity  securities  during the first  quarter  ended July 29, 1994. At
July 29,  1994,  the  balance of net  unrealized  holding  gains  included  as a
component  of retained  earnings  was $8,003 (net of  deferred  income  taxes of
$4,309).

Note 3 - Subsequent Event

On August 31, 1994, the Board of Directors  approved a two-for-one  common stock
split in the form of a 100  percent  stock  dividend.  This stock  split will be
effective for  shareholders  of record at the close of business on September 15,
1994 and distribution is expected to be made on September 30, 1994.

Earnings per share  adjusted for the pro forma effect of the stock split will be
$0.56 and $0.45 for the  three-month  periods  ended July 29,  1994 and July 30,
1993,  respectively.  The effect of the stock split on shareholders' equity will
be to double shares issued and  outstanding  to 114,834,294  and  116,257,428 at
July 29, 1994 and April 30, 1994,  respectively,  and reclass  $5,742 and $5,813
from  retained  earnings to common  stock at July 29,  1994 and April 30,  1994,
respectively.

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


Results of Operations

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the first quarter ended July 29, 1994,  were $65.1 million,  an
increase of 24.0 percent over the $52.5  million of the same quarter a year ago.
Earnings per share were $1.13,  representing  a 24.2 percent  increase  over the
$0.91 per share of the first quarter last year.

Sales

Exclusive  of  the  effects  of  foreign  currency  translation  and  previously
disclosed  acquisitions and  divestitures,  sales for the quarter ended July 29,
1994  increased  16.0  percent  over last year.  Sales growth in the quarter was
positively  impacted by $5.9 million of favorable exchange rate movements caused
primarily by the weakening of the U.S.  dollar versus major European  currencies
and the Japanese yen. Given the  uncertainties in world health care markets,  it
is  unclear  whether  the  significant  growth  rate of the first  quarter  will
continue.

The  increase in sales on a  comparable  operations  basis was  attributable  to
double-digit  percentage increases within each of the company's three businesses
(pacing, other cardiovascular, and neurological and other businesses). Worldwide
sales of the pacing business on a comparable  operations basis grew 16.4 percent
in  the  quarter,   reflecting   double-digit  percentage  growth  in  both  the
bradycardia  and  tachyarrthymia   management   businesses.   Bradycardia  sales
continued  to surpass the market rate of growth led by rapid  acceptance  of the
Thera(TM)  pacemaker  system  in  Europe,  the new  Collection  pacemakers  from
Medtronic  Vitatron  in Europe and Japan,  and the  Medtronic  Elite  II(R) dual
chamber, rate responsive pacemaker,  which continued to solidify its position as
the  pacemaker  of  choice  in  the  United  States  and  Japan.  Tachyarrthymia
management non-U.S. sales were led by the company's Jewel(TM) PCD(R) implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator while the Medtronic PCD Transvene(R) system continued
to lead U.S. sales growth.

Sales  of  the  other  cardiovascular  business,  consisting  of  interventional
vascular,  heart  valves,  and  cardiopulmonary,  increased  12.1  percent  on a
comparable   operations   basis  in  the  quarter  ended  July  29,  1994.   The
interventional  vascular  business  continued to gain market share due to strong
sales growth led by the Panther(TM)  and 14K(R) balloon  catheters in the United
States and joined by the Gold  Xchange(TM)  rapid-exchange  catheter in non-U.S.
markets.  This growth resulted from  significant  unit sales growth,  which more
than  offset   continuing   reductions   in  average   selling   prices.   Solid
cardiopulmonary  sales growth continued to be led by sales of centrifugal  blood
pumps and oxygenators.  The cardiopulmonary business also received solid revenue
contributions from organizations  acquired near the end of fiscal 1994. Sales of
the heart valves  business  showed only modest  improvement in the quarter ended
July 29, 1994.

Sales of the neurological and other business for the quarter ended July 29, 1994
increased  26.0 percent over  comparable  operations  of the same quarter a year
ago, led by U.S. sales of the Medtronic SynchroMed(R)  implantable drug infusion
system for treatment of spasticity.


<PAGE>

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of  products  sold as a percent of sales was 31.3  percent  for the quarter
compared to 30.6 percent for the same quarter a year ago. The slight increase in
cost of products sold is primarily the result of recent acquisitions and pricing
pressures within the interventional vascular business.


Selling, General, and Administrative Expense (SG&A)

SG&A expense for the quarter ended July 29, 1994 was $135.0 million  compared to
$127.9 million for the comparable  period last year.  SG&A as a percent of sales
was 33.4 percent for the current  quarter  compared to 34.3 percent for the same
period last year after  adjusting the prior period  expense for $14.3 million of
non-recurring  charges  primarily  relating  to  adoption  of a  new  accounting
principle  and  a  provision  for  potentially  uncollectable  trade  and  other
receivables.  The  decrease  in  SG&A  as  a  percent  of  sales,  exclusive  of
non-recurring charges in the prior year, is attributable to strong sales growth,
divestitures  in prior  periods,  effective  spending  controls,  and  increased
royalty income,  which are partially  offset by increased  currency  expense and
spending associated with newly acquired organizations.


Income Taxes

Federal  tax  legislation  was passed in August  1993 which  increases  the U.S.
corporate income tax rate, retroactively reinstates the research tax credit, and
beginning in 1995,  limits U.S. tax benefits from operations in Puerto Rico. The
increase in the federal tax rate and Puerto Rico  benefit  limitations  will put
upward pressure on the company's effective tax rate. Accordingly,  the estimated
effective  tax  rate  for the  company's  current  fiscal  year is 33.5  percent
compared to an  effective  rate of 33.0  percent for the fiscal year ended April
30, 1994.  However,  the impact of the federal tax  legislation on the effective
tax rate in future years will be primarily dependent upon the level of operating
activity in Puerto Rico and the level of research activities.  Accordingly,  the
company  cannot  determine  the impact the tax  legislation  will have on future
operating results.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided $68.0 million of cash and cash equivalents for the
first quarter ended July 29, 1994 compared to $61.5 million in the same period a
year ago.  Working  capital  was $404.2  million at July 29,  1994,  compared to
$406.4  million at April 30, 1994. The current ratio was 2.0:1 and 1.9:1 at July
29,1994 and April 30, 1994,  respectively.  Cash and cash equivalents  decreased
$31.8  million  during the three months ended July 29,  1994.  This  decrease is
primarily  attributable to stock  repurchases made during the quarter ended July
29,  1994.  Other  significant  uses of cash  during the  quarter  included  the
reduction  of trade  accounts  payable and  accrued  liabilities,  purchases  of
property, plant and equipment,  dividends to shareholders,  and the cash payment
associated  with the fiscal 1994  acquisition of  Electromedics,  Inc. which was
funded with additional short term borrowings.
