                       Report of Independent Accountants



September 30, 1994

To the Participants and Administrator
 of the Medtronic, Inc. and Participating
 Employers Supplemental Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statements  of changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Medtronic,  Inc.
and Participating  Employers Supplemental  Retirement Plan at April 30, 1994 and
1993, and the changes in net assets for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility  of the plan's  management;  our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  We conducted  our
audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic  financial
statements taken as a whole. The additional  information included in schedules I
and II is  presented  for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by
ERISA. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  is fairly
stated in all material  respects in relation to the basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole.

Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan provides for a regular  savings  program
whereby participants may deposit between 2% and 12% of their monthly salary. The
trustees of the Plan are Vanguard  Fiduciary Trust Company  (Vanguard Trust) and
First  Trust  National  Association  (First  Trust),   hereinafter  collectively
referred  to as the  "Trustees."  In  fiscal  1994,  the  company  paid  certain
administrative expenses of the Plan.

The  company  matches  at least 25% of the  employee  contribution,  up to 6% of
compensation. The company may contribute additional amounts, up to an additional
75% of the amount contributed by the employee,  if certain performance goals are
achieved.

A  participant  acquires a vested  interest  in the company  contributions  upon
completing  one year of service,  at which time the  participant  is 20% vested.
Additional vesting accrues at the rate of 20% per year thereafter.  Participants
are 100% vested in their own contributions at all times.  Participant forfeiture
of nonvested amounts reduce the company contribution.

Participants   direct   investment  of  funds   allocated  to  their   accounts.
Participants direct funds among eleven  investments.  Seven of these investments
were  effective  upon the  completion  of the  trustee  transfer  on  January 1,
1993 (Note 4). The Wellington  Fund, a balanced  fund, consists of common stocks
and fixed income securities.  The Interest Income Fund consists of deposits with
insurance  companies at fixed rates of return.  The  Medtronic,  Inc. Stock Fund
consists of holdings in Medtronic, Inc. common stock. The Vanguard 500 Portfolio
Index Trust consists of stocks  comprising the Standard and Poors 500 Index. The
Vanguard  Explorer Fund is an aggressive growth fund consisting of common stocks
of small companies.  The Vanguard Prime Portfolio consists of high-quality money
market  instruments.  The Windsor II fund, a growth and income fund, consists of
common stocks that, in the opinion of the investment advisor, are undervalued in
the marketplace.

Effective March 1, 1994, four additional investment options were added. The Bond
Index  Fund  is a bond  fund  that  seeks  to  parallel  the  performance  of an
established  Bond Index.  The Vanguard  Wellesley  Income Fund, a balanced fund,
invests in corporate bonds and stocks with above average  dividend  yields.  The
Vanguard Prime Cap Fund consists of stock, that in the opinion of the investment
advisor,  have strong  earnings  growth  potential.  The Vanguard  International
Growth  Portfolio,  an  international  stock fund,  consists of non-U.S.  stocks
selected for their appreciation potential.

Termination or retirement  benefits are paid by the Trustees in accordance  with
the provisions of the Plan and the instructions of the Medtronic,  Inc.,  acting
as plan  administrator.  In the  event the Plan  were  terminated,  participants
become fully vested and the company  would cause all amounts in the hands of the
trustees to be allocated and  distributed to the  participants  based upon their
investment balance.






NOTE 2--PROFIT SHARING PLAN MERGER

Effective  August 16, 1993,  the  Medtronic,  Inc. and  Participating  Employers
Profit Sharing Plan was merged into the Plan. This is reflected in the Statement
of Changes in Net Assets as a  transfer  of assets.  Participants  in the former
Profit  Sharing  Plan can  choose  to  invest  their  balances  within  the same
investment options described above (Note 1).


NOTE 3--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation

The  financial  statements  of the Plan are  prepared  on the  accrual  basis of
accounting.

Valuation of Investments

Investments are stated at fair market value as determined by the Trustees or the
active  market,  except  guaranteed  investment  contracts  which are  valued at
contract value.

Investment Activity

Interest and dividend  income  consists of amounts  earned on investments in the
Plan's  separate trust held by Vanguard  Trust.  Other  investment  income,  net
consists of the Plan's interest in the activity of the master trust (Note 4) and
the realized and unrealized gains and losses of the separate trust.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEE TRANSFER

Prior to  January 1,  1993,  assets of the  Medtronic,  Inc.  and  Participating
Employers Supplemental  Retirement Plan were invested by First Trust in a master
trust fund with the assets of the Medtronic,  Inc. and  Participating  Employers
Profit Sharing Plan, the Medtronic,  Inc. and Participating Employers Retirement
Plan (Pension Plan),  the Medtronic,  Inc.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
and the Andover Medical Incorporated  Retirement Savings Plan. Effective January
1, 1993,  Vanguard  Trust  replaced First Trust as the trustee for all assets of
the master trust fund, excluding certain deposits with insurance companies,  the
assets of the Pension  Plan,  and certain  unallocated  stock held in the master
trust  attributable to the ESOP. The assets  transferred out of the master trust
were transferred into separate trusts for each benefit plan.  Assets  previously
held by First Trust in the Balanced Fund, Interest Income Fund,  Medtronic Stock
Fund, and Stock Index Fund were  transferred  into Vanguard's  Wellington  Fund,
Interest  Income Fund,  Medtronic,  Inc.  Stock Fund, and Vanguard 500 Portfolio
Index Trust, respectively.

On January  1,  1993,  Vanguard  Trust  replaced  William  M.  Mercer,  Inc.  as
recordkeeper of the Plan assets held by Vanguard Trust. Vanguard Trust maintains
a  separate  account in the name of each  participant  in the Plan to record the
assets allocated to the participant and the earnings, losses,  disbursements and
expenses credited thereto.  Medtronic, Inc. and First Trust act as recordkeepers
for the remaining assets held in the master trust.







NOTE 5--BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Differences  in the amounts  reported in the financial  statements  and the Form
5500 relate to benefit  obligations  at April 30, 1994 and 1993, for persons who
have withdrawn from participation in the Plan as follows:

NOTE 6--TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter of tax qualification from
the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator believes the Plan continues
to qualify under the provision of Section  401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code,
and that the related trust is exempt from federal income tax.

NOTE 7--INVESTMENTS

Effective  January  1,  1993,  substantially  all of  the  assets  of the  Plan,
excluding certain deposits with insurance  companies,  were transferred from the
master  trust held by First Trust into a separate  trust held by Vanguard  Trust
(Note  4).  During  the  years  ended  April  30,  1994  and  1993  the Plan had
transactions with Vanguard Trust and First Trust, the Plan's trustees, which are
allowed by the Plan and are acceptable  under the Internal  Revenue Code.  These
transactions are classified as party-in-interest  transactions.  The investments
held by  Vanguard  Trust as of April  30,  1994  and 1993 and the  statement  of
changes for the periods then ended are presented in the following table:

                       Report of Independent Accountants


September 30, 1994

To the Participants and Administrator
 of the Medtronic, Inc. and Participating
 Employers Profit Sharing Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statements  of changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Medtronic,  Inc.
and Participating  Employers Profit Sharing Plan at August 16, 1993 and at April
30,  1993,  and the  changes in net  assets  for the period May 1, 1993  through
August 16, 1993, and the year ended April 30, 1993  in conformity with generally
accepted   accounting   principles.   These   financial   statements   are   the
responsibility  of the plan's  management;  our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  We conducted  our
audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic  financial
statements taken as a whole. The additional  information  included in schedule I
is presented for purposes of  additional  analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements but is additional  information required by ERISA.
Such  information has been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material  respects in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a
whole.

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Medtronic,  Inc. and Participating  Employers Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan)
is a defined contribution plan created by Medtronic,  Inc. (the company).  It is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).  The Plan provides benefits to participants who are eligible  employees
of Medtronic, Inc., and participating subsidiaries. The trustees of the Plan are
Vanguard  Fiduciary  Trust  Company  (Vanguard  Trust) and First Trust  National
Association (First Trust) herinafter collectively referred to as the "Trustees".
In fiscal 1994, the company paid certain administrative expenses of the Plan.

A  participant  acquires a vested  interest  in the company  contributions  upon
completing  one year of service,  at which time the  participant  is 20% vested.
Additional vesting accrues at the rate of 20% per year thereafter.  Participants
are 100% vested in their own contributions at all times.  Participant forfeiture
of nonvested amounts decrease expenses of the company.

Participants  direct  the  investment  of  funds  allocated  to  their  account.
Effective  January 1, 1993  (Note 4),  participants  direct  funds  among  seven
investments. The Wellington Fund, a balanced fund, consists of common stocks and
fixed income  securities.  The Interest  Income Fund  consists of deposits  with
insurance  companies at fixed rates of return.  The  Medtronic,  Inc. Stock Fund
consists of holdings in Medtronic, Inc. common stock. The Vanguard 500 Portfolio
Index Trust consists of stocks  comprising the Standard and Poors 500 Index. The
Vanguard  Explorer Fund is an aggressive growth fund consisting of common stocks
of small companies.  The Vanguard Prime Portfolio consists of high-quality money
market  instruments.  The Windsor II fund, a growth and income fund, consists of
common stocks that, in the opinion of the investment advisor, are undervalued in
the marketplace.

Termination  or retirement  benefits are paid by the Trustee in accordance  with
the provisions of the Plan and the  instructions of Medtronic,  Inc.,  acting as
plan  administrator.  In the event the Plan is  terminated,  participants  shall
become fully vested and the company would cause all amounts held by the Trustees
to be  allocated  and  distributed  to the  participants  based upon their total
account balance.

Subject to the Plan  provisions,  any employee,  whether or not a participant in
the  plan,  may  contribute  for  his  or  her  benefit,  rollover  or  transfer
contributions.  These  contributions are recorded in each  participant's  profit
sharing account by the Trustees and reflected in the financial statements of the
Plan.


NOTE 2--PLAN MERGER

Effective  August 16,  1993,  the Plan was merged into the  Medtronic,  Inc. and
Participating  Employers Supplemental  Retirement Plan. This is reflected in the
financial statements as a transfer of plan assets.


NOTE 3--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation

The  financial  statements  of the Plan are  prepared  on the  accrual  basis of
accounting.

Valuation of Investments

Investments are stated at fair market value as determined by the Trustees or the
active  market,  except  guaranteed  investment  contracts  which are  valued at
contract value.

Investment Activity

Interest and dividend  income  consists of amounts  earned on investments in the
Plan's separate trust held by Vanguard Trust.  Other  investment  (loss)/income,
net  consists of the Plan's  interest in the activity of  the master trust (Note
4) held by First Trust and the realized and  unrealized  gains and losses of the
separate trust.

NOTE 4--TRUSTEE TRANSFER

Prior to  January 1,  1993,  assets of the  Medtronic,  Inc.  and  Participating
Employers  Profit  Sharing  Plan were  invested by First Trust in a master trust
fund  with  the  assets  of the  Medtronic,  Inc.  and  Participating  Employers
Supplemental  Retirement Plan, the Medtronic,  Inc. and Participating  Employers
Retirement Plan (Pension  Plan),  the Medtronic,  Inc.  Employee Stock Ownership
Plan  (ESOP) and the  Andover  Medical  Incorporated  Retirement  Savings  Plan.
Effective  January 1, 1993,  Vanguard  Trust replaced First Trust as the trustee
for all  assets of the  master  trust  fund,  excluding  certain  deposits  with
insurance  companies,  the assets of the Pension  Plan and  certain  unallocated
stock held in the master trust  attributable to the ESOP. The assets transferred
out of the master trust were  transferred  into separate trusts for each benefit
plan.  Assets  previously  held by First Trust in the  Balanced  Fund,  Interest
Income Fund,  Medtronic Stock Fund, and Stock Index Fund were  transferred  into
Vanguard's  Wellington Fund, Interest Income Fund,  Medtronic,  Inc. Stock Fund,
and Vanguard 500 Portfolio Index Trust, respectively.

On  January  1,  1993  Vanguard  Trust  replaced  William  M.  Mercer,  Inc.  as
recordkeeper of the Plan assets held by Vanguard Trust. Vanguard Trust maintains
a  separate  account in the name of each  participant  in the Plan to record the
assets allocated to the participant and the earnings, losses,  disbursements and
expenses credited thereto.  Medtronic, Inc. and First Trust act as recordkeepers
for the remaining assets held in the master trust.

NOTE 5--BENEFIT OBLIGATION

Benefit  obligations  at April 30,  1993,  for persons who have  withdrawn  from
participation in the Plan were as follows:

    Vanguard Wellington Fund             $  69,054
    Medtronic, Inc. Stock Fund              32,204
    Vanguard 500 Portfolio Index Trust       5,961
    Deposits with Insurance Companies       99,016
                                         ---------
                                         $ 206,235
                                         =========

NOTE 6--TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter of tax qualification from
the Internal  Revenue  Service.  The Plan  administrator  believes that the Plan
qualifies  under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code,
and that the related trust is exempt from federal income tax.

NOTE 7--INVESTMENTS

Effective  January  1,  1993,  substantially  all of  the  assets  of the  Plan,
excluding  certain  deposits with insurance  companies,  were transferred from a
master  trust held by First Trust into a separate  trust held by Vanguard  Trust
(Note  4).  During  the  years  ended  April  30,  1994  and  1993  the Plan had
transactions with Vanguard Trust and First Trust, the Plan's trustees, which are
allowed by the Plan and are acceptable  under the Internal  Revenue Code.  These
transactions are classified as party-in-interest  transactions.  The investments
held by  Vanguard  Trust as of  August  16,  1993  and  April  30,  1993 and the
statement of changes for the periods then ended are  presented in the  following
table:
