             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.

   The earnings for the quarter were negatively impacted by a
previously
   announced net pre-tax charge of $35 million relating 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
entries
   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 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.


               MINNESOTA MINING AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY
                         AND SUBSIDIARIES

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

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

   Worldwide sales for the first quarter totaled $3.632 billion,
an
   increase of 3.2 percent from $3.517 billion in the first
quarter last
   year. Net income decreased 7.3 percent to $306 million, or
$.72 per
   share, compared with $330 million, or $.75 per share, in the
same
   quarter last year.

   Worldwide selling prices declined about 2 percent compared to
the
   first quarter of 1993. U.S. prices declined about 3 percent,
while
   international prices declined about 2 percent.  These price
declines
   were mainly because of competition in the Memory Technologies
Group.
   Currency translation decreased worldwide sales by about 1
percent.

   In the United States, the company's unit sales rose about 7
percent
   compared with the first quarter last year. The Information,
Imaging
   and Electronic Sector led U.S. volume growth with strong gains
in its
   memory technologies and electro-telecommunications businesses.

The
   Industrial and Consumer Sector had solid gains in its
abrasives, tape,
   automotive repair and specialty chemical businesses.  Volume
also
   increased in the Life Sciences Sector with solid growth in the
traffic
   and personal safety businesses. 

   Internationally, unit volume increased about 5 percent. 
Volume rose
   about 3 percent in Europe with increases in the United
Kingdom, Spain
   and France partially offset by declines in Germany and Italy.
In the
   Asia Pacific area, volume was up about 9 percent. Volume in
Japan was
   up only 3 percent, but volume growth in the rest of Asia was
up more 
   than 20 percent.  In Latin America, volume was up about 13
percent,
   continuing a series of solid gains there.  Africa also
reported a
   strong volume gain, while Canada showed a slight volume
decrease.

   Cost of goods sold, which includes manufacturing, research and
   development, and engineering, was 59.7 percent of sales, down
three-
   tenths of a percentage point from the first quarter last year.
Gross
   margins were 40.3 percent, the highest in 11 quarters. While
gross
   margins were helped by our 6 percent worldwide volume gain,
cost
   control efforts also helped.  Worldwide employment was down
nearly
   1,400 from the first quarter last year, with a large portion
of this
   decline in the manufacturing area.  The reduction had a
positive
   effect of seven-tenths of a percentage point on cost of goods
sold.
   Other benefits included lower raw material costs, and research
and
   development costs which were two-tenths of a percentage point
lower
   than the first quarter of 1993. These benefits were partially
offset
   by lower selling prices and the negative effects of currency. 

   Selling, general, and administrative spending of $915 million
was 25.2
   percent of sales.  This was an increase of three-tenths of a
   percentage point from a year ago, but the same as the 1993
total year
   average.  All of this increase was in International
Operations. This
   increase was due to investments which support the continued
rapid
   growth in China and other developing parts of Asia, and cost
increases
   in Europe.  The increases in Europe, while not all that high,
did
   outpace Europe's modest growth in sales.  

   Worldwide operating income was $549 million in the first
quarter, up
   3.6 percent from the same quarter last year.

   U.S. operating income was up about 13 percent and operating
margins
   improved by a full percentage point.  The U.S. was helped by
higher
   unit sales volume, lower employment levels and lower raw
material
   costs.  All three business sectors contributed to this U.S.
operating
   income increase.
    
   International operating income declined about 3 percent and
margins
   were down about a full percentage point from the same quarter
last
   year, but were almost two points higher than 1993 as a whole.
   Excluding currency, international operating income was roughly
the
   same as in the first quarter last year.  This was a
respectable
   performance given the modest volume growth in Europe and
Japan, and
   the fact that international had a strong profit quarter last
year.  

   Interest expense of $17 million in the first quarter of 1994
was
   $6 million higher than in the same quarter last year.  This
increase
   was largely due to a planned increase in debt. Investment and
other
   income showed a slight reduction of $4 million from the 
   first quarter last year.

   As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements, mammary
implant
   litigation resulted in a net pre-tax charge of $35 million.
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.

   The first-quarter 1994 worldwide effective tax rate was 36.0
percent,
   up five-tenths of a point from the first-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 impact of the 1993 U.S. statutory tax rate increase of 1
percent,
   which was partially offset in 1993 by the accounting benefit
of
   revaluing deferred tax assets at the higher rate. 

   The company estimates that changes in the value of the U.S.
dollar
   reduced net income by $10 million, or 2 cents per share, in
the first
   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. 



                   ****
   
   Looking ahead, the company continues to monitor worldwide
economies,
   particularly the recessions in  Europe and Japan where it has
   significant operations.  While there are signs that the
economies
   there may be improving, the company is not counting on a
significant
   upturn this year.  The company expects continued solid profit
growth
   in the United States, despite ongoing price competition. 

   The stronger dollar is expected to continue to hamper earnings
growth.
   The company estimates that currency effects, based on levels
at the
   end of March, could reduce full-year 1994 earnings compared to
1993 by
   an estimated 5 cents per share, mainly in the first half of
1994. 

   Assuming that overall economic conditions are in line with the
   company's expectations and that currency values remain
relatively
   stable, the company anticipates a reasonable increase in
earnings for
   the full year of 1994 compared to 1993.  

   Volume growth, productivity improvements and favorable raw
material
   prices should benefit full-year 1994 results. 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
in
   addition to its continuing emphasis on management of SG&A
spending.
   The company has reduced worldwide employment by about 4,000,
or nearly
   5 percent, since the end of 1990.  The company is aiming for a
   reduction compared to 1990 of 5,000 people by the end of 1995
and may
   attain this goal earlier. 


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


   Working capital increased $21 million to $3.102 billion from
$3.081
   billion as of December 31, 1993. The accounts receivable
average days
   sales outstanding was 63 days, an improvement from 66 days 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 1.8, down slightly from
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.

   Total debt increased $456 million from year-end 1993 to $1.949
   billion.  As of March 31, 1994, total debt was 31 percent of
   stockholders' equity, compared to 23 percent at year-end 1993.
The
   company believes this additional financial leverage is
desirable.
   Total debt, net of cash and securities, was still less than 20
percent
   of stockholders' equity.  The company's borrowings continue to
   maintain AAA long-term ratings.

   Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter was
19.0
   percent, down slightly from 19.8 percent a year earlier, but
near the
   company's goal of 20 to 25 percent. Return on capital employed
for
   the quarter was 20.5 percent, down from 21.0 percent in the
comparable
   1993 period. The company's goal is 27 percent or better.

   Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $436 million
in the
   first three months of the year, down $85 million from the same
period
   last year. This decrease was mainly due to higher working
capital
   requirements. Net income was negatively impacted by the $22
million
   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 $255 million, up $17
million
   from the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the
first
   three months of 1994 were $243 million, a decrease of about 4
percent
   compared with the same period last year.  The company expects
1994
   capital spending to be flat or less than 1993 levels.

   Financing activities in both short-term and long-term debt
provided
   net cash inflows of $444 million, compared to outflows in the
same
   period last year of $122 million. Treasury stock repurchases
were
   $366 million, compared to repurchases in the same period last
year of
   $115 million.

   For the first three months of this year the company
repurchased about
   7.0 million shares of treasury stock, compared to 2.2 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,
19.8
   million shares remained authorized for repurchase as of March
31,
   1994. Stock repurchases are made to support employee stock
purchase
   plans and for other corporate purposes.

   Dividends paid increased 3.4 percent to $188 million in the
first
   three months of this year compared to the same period last
year. The
   dividend payout ratio increased to 61.4 percent in the first
three
   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 March 31,
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 actions 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 March 31, 1994, the company had been named as a
          defendant, often with multiple co-defendants, in 4,077
          claims and lawsuits in various courts, all seeking
          damages for personal injuries from allegedly defective
          breast implants. These claims and lawsuits purport to
          represent 10,832 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.

          Discussions regarding a "global settlement" in the
          amount of $4.75 billion have been ongoing during the
          last several months, first with the facilitation of a
          panel of federal judges acting as mediators and later
          directly with a plaintiffs' negotiating committee. The
          company had been a  participant in the mediation
          efforts.  On February 14, 1994, Dow Corning, Bristol-
          Myers Squibb, and Baxter Healthcare Corp. announced an
          agreement with the plaintiffs' negotiating committee on
          financial terms for their participation in the global
          settlement.  Since the February announcement by the
          three settling defendants, discussions have continued
          with regard to additional funding by other defendants,
          including the company, for the $4.75 billion global
          settlement. 

          On April 8, 1994, the company and other defendants
          concluded their own provisional agreements with the
          plaintiffs'  negotiating committee  regarding their
          contributions to  the settlement  fund  previously
          described.  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 is generally subject to a series of
          court proceedings, including a court review of its
          fairness, and the opportunity for individual opt-outs.
          The company will not be required to make any payments
          until the opt-outs are determined.

          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 entries was a net pre-tax charge to
          first quarter 1994 earnings of $35 million ($22 million
          after taxes). Based on the amounts of and the timing
          of the payment obligations under the settlement, its
          current estimates of potential liabilities and expenses
          that may not be covered by the settlement, and the
          amount and time of receipt of insurance proceeds, the
          company believes that this accrual and recovery is the
          probable and estimable impact of the mammary implant
          claims and lawsuits. No insurers have denied coverage,
          and the insurance recovery reflected here 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.


   Item 6.    Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

          (a) The following documents are filed as exhibits to
             this Report.
             
             (11)  A statement regarding the computation of
                per share earnings.

             (12)  A statement regarding the ratio of earnings
                to fixed charges.

             (15)  A letter from the company's independent
                accountants regarding unaudited  interim
                financial statements.

          (b) Reports on Form 8-K:

             The company filed three reports on Form 8-K that
             relate  to events occurring during the first
             quarter of 1994.

             February 14, 1994: Item 5, Other Events, reporting
             that the  Board of Directors of the company
             approved a split of the issued shares of common
             stock two-for-one, with such additional shares of
             common stock to be distributed on or about April
             8, 1994, to holders of record at the close of
             business on March 15, 1994.

             March 9, 1994: Item 5, Other Events, reporting a
             Houston, Texas, jury found against 3M and two other
             companies in a mammary implant suit.

             April 8, 1994: Item 5, Other Events, Mammary
             Implant Litigation, reporting that the company and
             other defendants concluded their own provisional
             agreement  with  the  plaintiffs'  negotiating
             committee regarding their contributions to the
             settlement fund. The company in the first quarter
             of 1994 accrued a liability and receivable, the
             result of which was a net pre-tax charge to first
             quarter earnings of $35 million. 

   None of the other items contained in Part II of Form 10-Q is
   applicable to the company for the quarter ended March 31,
1994.

            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
   March 31, 1994, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of
   income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March
31, 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 referred to above 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.

Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by

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.
