              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 nine month period ended January 27, 1995.

There were no realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities
during the nine months ended January 27, 1995. At January 27, 1995,  the balance
of net unrealized holding gains included as a component of retained earnings was
$8,395 (net of deferred income taxes of $4,521).

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 third quarter ended January 27, 1995 were $71.4 million, or
$0.62 per share. Earnings per share reflect an increase of 24.0 percent over the
$0.50 per share  reported on earnings of $56.9  million in the same quarter last
year. Net earnings  increased 24.5 percent to $206.2 million for the nine months
ended  January 27, 1995,  compared to $165.6  million for the same period in the
prior year.  Earnings per share for the nine-month period ended January 27, 1995
were $1.79, an increase of 24.3 percent over the $1.44 reported last year.

Sales

Sales during the quarter and nine month period ended January 27, 1995  increased
23.6 percent and 22.8 percent,  respectively,  compared to the same periods last
year. Sales growth in the quarter and nine-month period was positively  impacted
by $16.1 million and $33.7  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.  Exclusive of the effects of foreign
currency  translation and acquisitions,  sales for the quarter ended January 27,
1995 increased 13.8 percent over the comparable  period last year.  Sales in the
nine-month  period  ended  January 27,  1995,  adjusted  for  foreign  currency,
acquisitions,  and a  divestiture,  increased  14.6 percent from the same period
last year.

Sales of the pacing business on a comparable  operations basis grew 13.2 percent
and 14.9 percent in the quarter and  nine-month  period ended  January 27, 1995,
respectively,  compared to the same periods a year ago.  This  increase in sales
was attributable to double-digit  percentage  growth in both the bradycardia and
tachyarrhythmia  management  businesses.  Bradycardia  unit sales  continued  to
reflect strong growth in both the U.S. and non-U.S. markets. The worldwide sales
performance  was  again led by the  Thera(R)  family of  pacemakers  which  were
released  outside the U.S. in prior quarters and were  commercially  released in
the U.S. on January 16, 1995. Sales of tachyarrhythmia devices also continued to
reflect solid worldwide growth, led by strong European and Canadian sales of the
Jewel(R) PCD(R) devices. The Jewel models of the PCD devices,  including the new
7219C and 7202C with single-lead technology, remain in U.S. clinical evaluation.

Sales within the other  cardiovascular  business  consisting  of  interventional
vascular,  heart valves,  and  cardiopulmonary,  increased 13.5 percent and 11.5
percent on a comparable  operations  basis in the quarter and nine-month  period
ended  January 27, 1995,  respectively.  The  interventional  vascular  business
continued  its  excellent  growth in  revenues  with  sales of the  Panther(TM),
Evergreen(TM),   and  14K(R)  balloon  catheters,  guiding  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 the Maxima(R)  blood  oxygenator  and blood  monitoring  and
management products, including the Medtronic Bio-pump(R). Organizations acquired
near the end of fiscal 1994 continue to supplement sales of the  cardiopulmonary
business. Sales of the heart valve business improved in the quarter, principally
on the  strength of  bioprosthetic  products.  Heart valve sales  showed  modest
growth in the nine-month period compared to the same period last year.

On a comparable operations basis, sales of the neurological and other businesses
grew 20.1  percent for the quarter and 21.1  percent for the  nine-month  period
ended  January 27, 1995  compared  to the same  periods in the prior year.  This
growth  reflects  continued  strong  worldwide  growth in sales of the company's
implantable  SynchroMed(R)  drug infusion system and the Itrel(R) II implantable
neurostimulation system.

Costs of Products Sold

Cost of products sold as a percent of sales was 31.2 percent for the quarter and
31.3 percent for the nine months ended January 27, 1995 compared to 30.9 percent
and 31.0  percent,  respectively,  for the same  periods a year ago.  The slight
increase  in cost of  products  sold as a percent  of sales is  attributable  to
fluctuations  in  production  levels and  start-up  costs  related  new  product
introductions.

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

SG&A expense for the quarter ended January 27, 1995, was $132.2 million compared
to $107.9  million for the  comparable  period  last year.  SG&A as a percent of
sales was 31.9  percent  and 32.3  percent in the  current  quarter and the same
quarter last year,  respectively.  SG&A as a percent of sales for the nine-month
period  ended  January 27, 1995 was 32.5  percent  compared to 32.9 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.  SG&A
expense as a percentage of sales in the nine month period ended January 27, 1995
was affected by increased  currency  expense and spending  associated with newly
acquired  organizations,  which was offset by strong sales growth, and increased
royalty income.  Royalty income increased  significantly  due to the accelerated
recognition  of deferred  royalty  income  during the quarter  ended October 28,
1994. 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.

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 $257.4 million of cash and cash  equivalents for
the nine months ended  January 27, 1995  compared to $216.1  million in the same
period a year ago.  Working  capital was $525.6  million at January 27, 1995, an
increase  of $119.2  million  over the  $406.4  million at April 30,  1994.  The
current ratio increased to 2.4:1 at January 27, 1995, compared to 1.9:1 at April
30, 1994.  Cash and cash  equivalents  increased  $20.5 million  during the nine
months ended January 27, 1995, compared with an increase of $42.0 million during
the  same  period  last  year.  The  current  period  increase  in cash and cash
equivalents  was  affected by cash  balances  which were  invested in  long-term
securities.  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.
