                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (Unaudited)

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of 
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation 
of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such 
periods.  These adjustments consist of normal, recurring items.  The 
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily 
indicative of results for the full year.  The condensed consolidated 
financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q 
and do not contain certain information included in the company's annual 
consolidated financial statements and notes.  This Form 10-Q should be 
read in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial 
statements and notes included in the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The share and per-share data contained in this Form 10-Q reflect the 
two-for-one common stock split effective March 15, 1994.

Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 115, 
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." 
This adoption will have no impact on the company's results of 
operations.  The unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale 
debt and equity securities are separately disclosed as a component of 
stockholders' equity.  The following accounting policies are updated 
from the 1993 Form 10-K as follows:

  Other Securities:  Other securities consist of marketable securities 
  and interest-bearing bank deposits with varied maturity dates. These 
  securities are employed in the company's banking, captive insurance 
  and cash management operations.  Other securities classified as 
  available-for-sale are reported at fair value and held-to-maturity 
  securities are reported at amortized cost.

  Investments: Investments primarily include assets from captive 
  insurance and banking operations and from venture capital 
  investments. Investments classified as available-for-sale are 
  reported at fair value and held-to-maturity investments are reported 
  at amortized cost.  Other investments are stated at cost, which 
  approximates fair value.

Also effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted FASB Interpretation 
Number (FIN) 39 which requires gross reporting for environmental and 
other liabilities, and any related insurance receivable assets.  The 
presentation of liabilities net of claims for recovery is no longer 
appropriate.  The impact of this adoption was to increase primarily 
"Other Assets" and "Other Liabilities" from year-end 1993 balances.






Earnings for the first six months ended June 30, 1994, were negatively 
impacted by a first quarter net pre-tax charge of $35 million related 
to mammary implant litigation.  This charge reflected the company's 
participation in the multi-billion dollar global settlement, other 
mammary implant litigation, and probable insurance recoveries. The 
company in the first quarter of 1994 accrued a liability having a net 
present value of $308 million to cover probable liabilities and 
expenses, and also recorded a receivable, primarily on the "Other 
Assets" line of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, having a nominal value 
of $273 million, for probable insurance recoveries.  The result of 
these accounting actions was a net pre-tax charge to first quarter 1994 
earnings of $35 million ($22 million after taxes, or 5 cents per 
share).  See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, for additional 
information on this topic.

On June 16, 1994, the company issued a three-year, $200 million 6.375% 
Euronote.   This was swapped to yield an all-in cost of 6-month average
LIBOR less 36.5 basis points.  On March 29, 1994, the company issued a 
$100 million medium-term note at the 5-year treasury rate plus 25 basis 
points (6.25%), and put it on a cancelable swap to average LIBOR 
floating.  On an all-in basis, the rate will average LIBOR less 27 
basis points for two years, or for five years, if the swap is not 
canceled.  If the swap is canceled, the company will pay 6.18 percent 
fixed for the final three years.

Coopers & Lybrand, the company's independent accountants, have 
performed a review of the unaudited interim financial statements 
included herein and their report thereon accompanies this filing.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

This Quarter
All share and per-share data reflect the two-for-one stock split 
effective March 15, 1994.

Worldwide sales for the second quarter totaled $3.772 billion, an 
increase of 6.6 percent from $3.540 billion in the second quarter last 
year.  Net income increased 3.7 percent to $343 million, or $.81 per 
share, compared with $331 million, or $.76 per share, in the same 
quarter last year.  Worldwide unit sales rose about 9 percent.

In the United States, the company's unit sales rose about 7 percent 
compared with the second quarter last year, with all three sectors 
showing higher growth.  The Information, Imaging and Electronic Sector 
had strong gains in its memory technologies and electro-
telecommunications businesses. Life Sciences Sector volume increased 
with solid growth in its traffic and personal safety businesses, in 
addition to good gains in its health care businesses.  The Industrial 
and Consumer Sector posted good volume gains in its tapes, abrasives, 
specialty chemicals, office supplies and consumer products businesses. 

Internationally, unit volume increased about 10 percent, with all three 
sectors showing higher growth.  Volume rose about 8 percent in Europe 
with double-digit increases in France, Spain, the Netherlands and in 
the Nordic region.  Volume also increased in Italy and Germany. In the 
Asia Pacific area, volume was up about 11 percent.  Volume in Japan was 
up about 4 percent, while volume growth in the rest of Asia rose nearly 
30 percent.  In Latin America, volume was up more than 25 percent. 
Canada and Africa also reported good volume gains.

Worldwide selling prices declined about 2 percent compared to the 
second quarter of 1993, mainly because of competition in the Memory 
Technologies Group.  Prices declined about 2 percent in both the United 
States and internationally.  Currency translation had a minimal impact 
on international and worldwide sales.

Cost of goods sold, which includes manufacturing, research and 
development, and engineering, was 59.6 percent of sales, down six-
tenths of a percentage point from the second quarter last year.  Cost 
of goods sold was helped by the 9 percent volume gain, cost-control 
efforts and lower raw material costs.  Research and development costs 
were three-tenths of a percentage point lower than the second quarter 
of 1993. These benefits were partially offset by lower selling prices. 

Selling, general and administrative spending of $955 million was 25.3 
percent of sales.  This was an increase of one-tenth of a percentage 
point from a year ago.  SG&A spending included investments to sustain 
rapid growth in the Asia region.   

Worldwide operating income was $570 million in the second quarter, up 
10.4 percent from the same quarter last year.

U.S. operating income was up about 7 percent and operating margins 
improved by one-tenth of a percentage point.  U.S. margins were helped 
by higher unit sales volume and lower raw material costs.  All three 
U.S. business sectors contributed to this operating income increase.
  
International operating income increased about 14 percent and margins 
were up by almost a full percentage point.  International margins were 
helped by higher unit sales volume, improved economic conditions in 
Europe and Japan, and cost-control efforts.    

Interest expense of $21 million in the second quarter of 1994 was 
$6 million higher than in the same quarter last year.  This increase 
was mainly due to a planned increase in debt. Investment and other 
income declined $10 million from the second quarter last year, mainly 
due to one-time gains on investments in 1993.

The second-quarter 1994 worldwide effective tax rate was 36.0 percent, 
up five-tenths of a  point from the second-quarter rate last year, and 
up seven-tenths of a point from the rate for 1993 overall.  The higher 
tax rate in 1994 is due to a lower level of foreign tax credits and the 
accounting benefit in 1993 of revaluing deferred tax assets at the 
higher 1993 U.S. statutory tax rate.

The company estimates that changes in the value of the U.S. dollar 
reduced net income by $2 million, or about 1 cent per share, in the 
second quarter compared to the corresponding quarter of 1993.  This 
estimate includes the effect of translating sales and profits from 
local currencies into U.S. dollars, the costs in local currencies of 
transferring goods between the parent company in the United States and 
international companies, and transaction gains and losses in countries 
not considered to be highly inflationary. 

Year-to-date
On a year-to-date basis, worldwide sales totaled $7.404 billion, an 
increase of 4.9 percent from $7.057 billion in the first six months of 
last year.  

Volume growth for the first six months of 1994 was 7 percent in the 
United States and 8 percent in international operations.  Both U.S. and 
international prices declined about 2 percent.  Currency translation 
decreased international sales by almost 1 percent and worldwide sales 
by about half a percent. 

Cost of goods sold was 59.6 percent of sales, down six-tenths of a 
point from the same period last year. The factors that influenced gross 
margins for the second quarter were the same factors that affected 
year-to-date results.  

Selling, general and administrative spending of $1.870 billion for the 
first six months was 25.3 percent of sales.  This is up three-tenths of
a point from the same period last year, but up only one-tenth of a 
point from the 1993 total year average.   

Worldwide operating income increased 7.0 percent to $1.119 billion in 
1994 up from $1.046 billion in 1993.  Operating income in the United 
States was up about 10 percent and margins improved by seven-tenths of 
a percentage point. International operating income was up about 5 
percent and margins were unchanged.  Worldwide employment levels have 
declined by more than 1,150 compared with the end of June 1993. 

Interest expense was $38 million, up from $26 million in the first half
of 1993.  This increase is mainly due to a planned increase in debt. 
Investment and other income was $16 million in the first six months of 
1994, a decline of $14 million compared to the same period last year.  
This change was mainly due to one-time gains on investments in 1993.

As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements, mammary implant 
litigation resulted in a net pre-tax charge of $35 million in the first 
quarter of 1994. Although there can be no certainty that the company 
may not ultimately incur charges in excess of presently established 
reserves, the company believes that such additional charges, if any, 
will not pose a material risk to the financial position of the company 
or its results of operations.

Year-to-date net income was $649 million, or $1.53 per share ($671 
million, or $1.58 per share, excluding the first quarter pre-tax charge 
of $35 million, or $22 million after taxes, relating to mammary-implant 
litigation.)  This compared with $661 million, or $1.51 per share, in 
the first half of 1993.

	****

Looking ahead, assuming no significant slowing in worldwide economic 
activity, the company looks for good growth in second-half sales and 
earnings.

Volume growth, productivity improvements and favorable raw material 
prices should benefit full-year 1994 results. The weaker dollar is 
expected to slightly benefit second-half earnings. The company 
estimates that currency effects, based on levels at the end of June, 
could add a few cents a share to second-half earnings compared to the 
same period last year.  

Investment in research and development will continue in order to help 
the company meet its goal of 30 percent of sales coming from products 
introduced in the last four years.  The company continues to 
aggressively explore cost-reduction and rationalization opportunities 
around the world. Worldwide employment by the end of the year could be 
down by more than 1,000 people from 1993 year-end levels, despite the 
addition of  people in the Asia region to sustain rapid growth there. 
This would bring employment at the end of this year to fewer than 
85,000 people, a decline of nearly 5,000 over a four-year period.   



FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The company's financial condition and liquidity remain strong. 

Working capital increased $309 million to $3.390 billion from $3.081 
billion as of December 31, 1993.  The accounts receivable average days 
sales outstanding was 66 days, the same as at year-end. The company's 
key inventory index, which represents the number of months of 
inventory, was 4.0 months, unchanged from year-end.  The company's 
current ratio was 2.0, compared with 1.9 at year-end.

The adoption of FIN 39 and the mammary implant litigation (refer to the 
Notes to Financial Statements) were the primary contributors to the 
increase in the "Other Assets" and "Other Liabilities" components of 
the Consolidated Balance Sheet compared to year-end 1993 balances.

Total debt increased $310 million from year-end 1993 to $1.803 billion. 
As of June 30, 1994, total debt was 27 percent of stockholders' equity, 
up from 23 percent at year-end 1993.  The company's borrowings continue 
to maintain AAA long-term ratings.

Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter was at 21.2 
percent, up from 19.9 percent a year earlier, meeting the company's 
goal of 20 to 25 percent.  Return on capital employed for the quarter 
was 21.1 percent, up from 20.1 percent in the comparable 1993 period.  
The company's goal is 27 percent or better.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $849 million in the 
first six months of the year, down $139 million from the same period 
last year.  This decrease was mainly due to the receipt of a large 
legal settlement in 1993 of $129 million.  Net income was negatively 
impacted by the $22 million first quarter 1994 non-cash charge relating 
to mammary implant litigation.  This litigation could result in timing 
differences in the cash flows of future periods.  The company believes 
that these differences, if any, will not pose a material risk to the 
financial position of the company. 
   
Cash used in investing activities was $508 million, up $21 million from 
the same period last year.  Capital expenditures for the first six 
months of 1994 were $501 million, a decrease of about 4 percent 
compared with the same period last year.  

Financing activities in both short-term and long-term debt provided net 
cash inflows of $435 million, compared to inflows in the same period 
last year of $93 million. Treasury stock repurchases were $458 million, 
compared to repurchases in the same period last year of $383 million.

The company repurchased about 8.8 million shares of treasury stock in 
the first six months of this year, compared to 7.1 million shares in 
the same period last year.  The Board of Directors authorized the 
repurchase of up to 24 million shares of 3M common stock between 
February 14, 1994, and February 10, 1995.  Of this number, 18.0 million 
shares remained authorized for repurchase as of June 30, 1994. Stock 
repurchases are made to support employee stock purchase plans and for 
other corporate purposes.

Dividends paid increased 3.0 percent to $374 million in the first six 
months of this year.  The dividend payout ratio increased to 57.7 
percent in the first six months from 57.1 percent for the entire year 
in 1993.

The company expects cash generated by normal operations will support 
its growth.  With its AAA long-term ratings on its debt, the company 
has sufficient borrowing capacity to supplement cash flows from 
operations.  3M maintains a shelf registration with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission that provides the means to offer medium-term notes 
not to exceed $601 million.  As of June 30, 1994, $402 million was 
available for future financial needs.



              MINNESOTA MINING AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY
                         AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                	   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        The company and certain of its subsidiaries are named 
        defendants in a number of actions, governmental proceedings 
        and claims, including product liability claims involving 
        products now or formerly manufactured and sold by the 
        company, many of which relate to silicone gel mammary 
        implants, and some of which claims are purported or 
        tentatively certified class actions.  Mammary implant cases 
        and claims are discussed separately below. In some actions, 
        the claimants seek damages as well as other relief which, if 
        granted, would require substantial expenditures.

        The company is involved in a number of environmental 
        proceedings by governmental agencies asserting liability for 
        past waste disposal and other alleged environmental damage. 
        The company conducts ongoing investigations, assisted by 
        environmental consultants, to determine accruals for the 
        probable, estimable costs of remediation. The remediation 
        accruals are reviewed each quarter and changes are made as 
        appropriate.
	
        Some of these matters raise difficult and complex factual and 
        legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, 
        including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of 
        each particular action, the jurisdiction and forum in which 
        each action is proceeding, and differences in applicable law. 
        Accordingly, the company is not always able to estimate the 
        nature and precise amount of future liabilities with respect 
        to such matters.

        Mammary Implant Litigation
        As of June 30, 1994, the company had been named as a 
        defendant, often with multiple co-defendants, in 5,148 claims 
        and lawsuits in various courts, all seeking damages for 
        personal injuries from allegedly defective breast implants. 
        These claims and lawsuits purport to represent 12,418 
        individual claimants.  These claims and lawsuits are 
        generally in very preliminary stages, and it is not yet 
        certain how many of these lawsuits and claims involve 
        products manufactured and sold by the company, as opposed to 
        other manufacturers.  The company entered the business in 
        1977 by purchasing McGhan Medical and then sold that business 
        in 1984.






        On April 8, 1994, the company and other defendants concluded 
        provisional agreements with a plaintiffs' negotiating 
        committee regarding their contributions to a "global 
        settlement" in the amount of $4.75 billion, previously 
        announced by the committee and three major defendants in 
        these claims and lawsuits.  The company has agreed that its 
        maximum commitment of $325 million will be paid into a court-
        administered fund within 3 years from the date that the final 
        order ratifying the global settlement is entered and after 
        appeals, if any, have been exhausted.  The company has the 
        unilateral right to withdraw from the agreement should there 
        be an unacceptable level of individual plaintiffs and 
        claimants electing to remove themselves from the settlement 
        ("opt-outs").  The global settlement has received preliminary 
        approval from the court, and a hearing has been set for 
        August 18, 1994, with respect to final approval.  The 
        deadline for claimants to opt-out of the settlement has 
        expired, and the company is attempting to assess the extent 
        and impact of opt-outs. The company will not be required to 
        make any payments until the opt-outs are determined and the 
        global settlement is found acceptable by the company based 
        upon the level of opt-outs.

        The company in the first quarter of 1994 accrued a liability 
        having a net present value of $308 million to cover probable 
        liabilities and expenses and also recorded a receivable 
        having a nominal value of $273 million for probable insurance 
        recoveries.  The result of these accounting actions was a net 
        pre-tax charge to first quarter 1994 earnings of $35 million 
        ($22 million after taxes).  Based on the amounts and timing 
        of the payment obligations under the settlement, the 
        company's current estimates of potential liabilities and 
        expenses that may not be covered by the settlement, and the 
        amounts and timing of receipt of insurance proceeds, the 
        company believes that this accrual and recovery is the best 
        estimate of the probable impact of the mammary implant claims 
        and lawsuits.  No insurers have denied coverage, and the 
        insurance recovery recorded by the company represents the 
        amount that the company considers appropriate to record as 
        recoverable at this time.

        Although there can be no certainty that the company may not 
        ultimately incur charges in excess of presently established 
        reserves, the company believes that such additional charges, 
        if any, will not pose a material risk to the financial 
        position of the company or its results of operations.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
 Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet 
of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and subsidiaries as of 
June 30, 1994, and the related condensed consolidated statements of 
income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 
1993, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 
1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by 
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of 
interim financial information consists principally of applying 
analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of 
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is 
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with 
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the 
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a 
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications 
that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated 
financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 
1993, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows 
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated 
February 14, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those 
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set 
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 
December 31, 1993, is fairly stated in all material respects in 
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been 
derived.

Share and per-share data reflect the two-for-one stock split effective  
March 15, 1994.

Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. 
The calculation excludes the effect of common equivalent shares 
resulting from stock options using the treasury stock method as the 
effect would not be material.

Fully diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted 
average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding 
for each period.

(1) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K Item 
601(b)(11) although not required by APB Opinion No. 15 because it 
results in dilution of less than 3%.
