              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (in thousands)

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). Adoption of this
change in accounting principle had no impact on the statement of earnings for
the six month period ended October 28, 1994.

There were no realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities
during the six months ended October 28, 1994. At October 28, 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 - Stockholders' Equity

On August 31, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one common stock
split, paid September 30, 1994 in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend to
shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 1994. The stock
split resulted in the issuance of 57,450 additional shares and the reclass of
$5,745 from retained earnings to common stock, representing the par value of the
shares issued. All references in the financial statements to average number of
shares outstanding and earnings per share amounts have been restated to reflect
the split.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the second quarter ended October 28, 1994 were $69.7 million,
or $0.61 per share. Earnings per share reflect an increase of 24.5 percent over
the $0.49 per share reported on earnings of $56.2 million in the same quarter
last year. Net earnings increased 24.0 percent to $134.8 million for the six
months ended October 28, 1994, compared to $108.7 million for the same period in
the prior year. Earnings per share for the six-month period ended October 28,
1994 were $1.17, an increase of 23.2 percent over the $0.95 reported last year.

Sales

Sales during the quarter and six month period ended October 28, 1994 increased
22.9 percent and 22.4 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods last
year. Exclusive of the effects of foreign currency translation and acquisitions,
sales for the quarter ended October 28, 1994 increased 14.2 percent over the
comparable period last year. Sales in the six-month period ended October 28,
1994, adjusted for foreign currency, acquisitions, and a divestiture, increased
15.1 percent from the same period last year. Sales growth in the quarter and
six-month period was positively impacted by $11.8 million and $17.6 million,
respectively, of favorable exchange rate movements primarily caused by the
weakening of the U.S. dollar versus major European currencies and the Japanese
Yen.

Sales of the pacing business on a comparable operations basis grew 15.2 percent
and 15.9 percent in the quarter and six-month period ended October 28, 1994,
respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. This increase in sales is
attributable to double-digit percentage growth in both the bradycardia and
tachyarrthymia management businesses. Bradycardia unit sales continued to
reflect strong growth in both the U.S. and non-U.S. markets. Growth in the U.S.
and Japan was led by the Medtronic Elite II(R) dual chamber, rate responsive
pacemaker. Strong sales performance in Europe continued to be led by the
Thera(R) family of pacemakers which remain in clinical evaluation in the U.S.
The dual-sensor Collection(TM) pacemakers developed and marketed by Vitatron,
Inc., a Medtronic subsidiary, also made solid sales contributions in Europe.
Unit sales of tachyarrthymia devices also showed solid gains worldwide, with the
Model 7217B PCD(R) device and its Transvene(R) transvenous leads providing
strong sales in the U.S. Worldwide sales were led by the new smaller Jewel(R)
PCD(R) devices in Europe, Canada, and Latin America. The Jewel models of the PCD
devices remain in U.S. clinical evaluation.

Sales within the other cardiovascular business consisting of interventional
vascular, heart valves, and cardiopulmonary, increased 8.8 percent and 10.4
percent on a comparable operations basis in the quarter and six-month period
ended October 28, 1994, respectively. The interventional vascular business
continued its excellent growth in revenues with sales of the Panther(TM) and
14K(R) balloon catheters and the Wiktor(TM) stent. Unit sales growth of balloon
catheters continued to more than offset reductions in average selling prices.
Solid cardiopulmonary sales growth was led by sales of oxygenators and blood
monitoring and management products. The cardiopulmonary business continued to
receive solid revenue contributions from organizations acquired near the end of
fiscal 1994. Sales of the heart valve business showed only modest growth in the
quarter and six-month periods.

On a comparable operations basis, sales of the neurological and other businesses
grew 21.0 percent for the quarter and 21.6 percent for the six-month period
ended October 28, 1994 compared to the same periods in the prior year,
reflecting significant growth in sales of the company's implantable
SynchroMed(R) drug infusion system and solid growth in sales of the Itrel(R) II

Cost of products sold as a percent of sales was 31.3 percent for the quarter and
the six months ended October 28, 1994 compared to 31.5 percent and 31.0 percent,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago.

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

SG&A expense for the quarter ended October 28, 1994, was $131.3 million compared
to $107.0 million for the comparable period last year. SG&A as a percent of
sales was 32.2 percent in both the current quarter and the same quarter last
year. SG&A in the current quarter was affected by increased currency expense
offset by accelerated recognition of deferred royalty income. The accelerated
recognition of deferred royalty income was caused by the acquisition of Siemens
A.G.'s cardiac rhythm management unit by St. Jude Medical, Inc. St. Jude will
pay royalties to Medtronic in the future under the terms of the royalty
agreement between Medtronic and Siemens. SG&A as a percent of sales for the
six-month period ended October 28, 1994 was 32.8 percent compared to 33.2
percent last year after adjusting the prior period expense for $14.3 million of
non-recurring charges primarily related to adoption of a new accounting
principle and a provision for potentially uncollectible trade and other
receivables. In addition to increased currency expense, SG&A as a percentage of
sales in the six month period was affected by spending associated with newly
acquired organizations, strong sales growth, and increased royalty income.

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 $186.1 million of cash and cash equivalents for
the six months ended October 28, 1994 compared to $127.2 million in the same
period a year ago. Working capital was $482.5 million at October 28, 1994, an
increase of $76.1 million over the $406.4 million at April 30, 1994. The current
ratio increased to 2.2:1 at October 28, 1994, compared to 1.9:1 at April 30,
1994. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.3 million during the six months
ended October 28, 1994, compared with a decrease of $18.9 million during the
same period last year. The increase in the current ratio is the result of
increased operating cash inflows which have been partially utilized to pay down
short term borrowings and accounts payable, including $39.1 million acquisition
price payable at April 30, 1994.
