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 available for benefits
of the Medtronic, Inc. and Participating Employers Supplemental Retirement Plan
(the "Plan") at April 30, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended April 30, 1999 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 audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules I and II are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
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 Supplemental Retirement 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 for a regular savings program
whereby participants may deposit between 2% and 12% of their monthly salary. The
trustee of the Plan is Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (Vanguard Trust),
hereinafter referred to as the "Trustee". In fiscal 1999 and 1998, the company
paid certain administrative expenses of the Plan.

Through April 30, 1998, the Company matched at least 25% of the employee
contribution, up to 6% of compensation. The Company contributed additional
amounts, up to an additional 75% of the amount contributed by the employee (up
to 6% of compensation), if certain performance goals were achieved.

Effective May 1, 1998, the Plan was amended to provide Company matches to be
received by participants in the form of an annual allocation of Medtronic stock
to the Participants' Employee Stock Ownership Plan account and increase the
Company minimum match from 25% to 50% of the employee contribution, up to 6% of
compensation. In addition, the maximum Company contribution was increased from
100% of the first 6% of compensation to 150% of the first 6% of compensation,
depending on Company performance.

Participants are 20% vested in the Company contributions upon completing one
year of service. 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. During fiscal 1999 and 1998, $405,132 and $400,000 were forfeited
by terminating employees before these amounts became vested.

Participants direct investment of funds allocated to their account among
thirteen investments. The Vanguard 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

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------------

companies. Effective April 1,1998, the VMMR Prime Portfolio and the Vanguard
Wellesley Income Fund are no longer available to participants in the plan.

Termination or retirement benefits are paid by the Trustees in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan and the instructions of 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--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
- ----------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

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

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------

As determined by the Trustee, investments are stated at fair value based upon
quoted market prices, except deposits with insurance companies guaranteed
investment contracts which are valued at contract value, which approximates fair
market value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract,
plus earnings, less plan withdrawals, and administrative expenses.

Valuation of Participant Loans
- ------------------------------

Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Participants
can have only one loan outstanding at a time and can borrow up to 50% of their
vested balance not to exceed the maximum loan amount of $50,000. The minimum
loan amount is $1,000. Loans are repaid through payroll deduction in equal
amounts over a 1 to 5 year period. The interest rate is calculated as one
percentage point over the prime rate in effect at US Bank, St. Paul, N.A., on
the first work day of the month in which the loan is made and remains fixed for
the duration for the loan.

Investment Activity
- -------------------

Interest and dividend income consists of amounts earned on investments in the
Plan's separate trust held by Vanguard Trust.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
