                                   (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes is condensed from that which would appear in the annual 
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated 
financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with 
the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in 
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1997, and 
Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 26, 1997 and 
December 26, 1997, filed by Sunrise Medical Inc. (the "company") with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated 
financial statements as of March 27, 1998 and for the three months and nine 
months ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997 include all adjustments 
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair 
presentation. The results of operations for interim periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire 
year. The preparation of 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.

2.  Inventories

Certain inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or
market value. All other inventories are stated at the lower of the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) cost or market value. Inventories consist of the following (in
thousands):

3. Subsequent Event

On April 13, 1998, the company acquired Sentient Systems Technology, Inc., a 
manufacturer of augmentative communication devices for persons affected by 
speech disabilities. The agreement called for each share of Sentient common 
stock to be exchanged for 2.27 shares of Sunrise common stock. Approximately 
2.7 million Sunrise shares were issued. The transaction will be accounted for 
as a pooling of interests. The following unaudited data summarizes the 
combined operating results of the company and Sentient as if the merger had 
occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. Merger transaction costs 
of approximately $3.0 million will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1998.

SUNRISE MEDICAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

REPORTING UNITS

The company reports its operating results using three groupings: Home Healthcare
Group ("HHG"), Continuing Care Group ("CCG") (both based in the United States)
and Sunrise Medical Europe. HHG is comprised of three product divisions:
Mobility Products, Personal Care Products and Respiratory Products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 28, 1997

NET SALES

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $160.4 million compared 
to $158.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997, an increase of 1%. 
Sales grew 3.5% after excluding the 2.4% negative impact of foreign currency 
translation and the 0.1% effect of acquisitions and divestitures.

HHG's sales increased 8% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 to $77.5 
million, compared to $71.9 million in the same period of last year. Sales at 
the Mobility, Personal Care and Respiratory Products divisions all increased 
compared to the prior year. The increase was substantially volume driven, 
although overall group average selling prices rose slightly due to a 
combination of change in sales mix and selling price changes.

CCG's sales were $23.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, an 
increase of 6% from sales of $22.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in unit volumes, 
as group average selling prices declined slightly.

In Europe, sales were $59.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, 
compared to $64.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997, a decrease 
of 8%. Sales decreased 2% after excluding the negative 6% impact from foreign 
currency fluctuations and divestitures. Sales increased in Spain and France 
compared to the prior year, while revenues from the company's businesses in 
the U.K., Germany, and its European distribution group declined. The U.K. 
decline was primarily due to the depressed nursing home market, while 
Germany continued to be impacted by legislative reimbursement pressures.

</TABLE>
<PAGE>

Gross profit of $49.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $1.2 
million below the $50.8 million recorded in the same period of fiscal 1997. 
Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 
30.9%, primarily as a result of an increase in the pound sterling versus 
other European currencies, which caused lower margins on Sunrise U.K. 
manufactured products sold in continental Europe. A shift in the mix of 
product sales to lower margin products also contributed to the decline.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses were 21.5% of net sales in the 
third quarter, compared to 24.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997, a 
decrease of $4.4 million. Company-wide operating cost containment measures 
combined with a reduction in operating expenses as a result of U.S. and 
European consolidations led to the decrease.

Re-engineering expenses were $5.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 
1998. These expenses are related to the re-engineering and facilities 
consolidation program announced in fiscal 1997. Expenses include: the 
estimated costs of the company's shutdown of the Ft. Pierce, Florida plant; 
costs of converting to new and upgraded management information systems; and 
underabsorbed overhead, labor inefficiencies, and temporary duplicate 
facilities costs related to U.K. plant consolidations.

Corporate operating income decreased by 29% to $3.9 million in the third 
quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to $5.5 million in the same period of the 
prior year. Excluding re-engineering expenses of $5.3 million, corporate 
operating income would have been $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 
1998, an increase of 67% over the prior year.

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $3.6 million and 
comparable with the third quarter of the prior year, as average borrowings 
and interest rates were fairly constant.

Pre-tax income in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased $1.5 million or 
59% to $1.1 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior year due to the 
impact of the $5.3 million of re-engineering expenses discussed above. 
Excluding these expenses, pre-tax income would have been $6.4 million, an 
increase of 144% compared to the prior year.

The effective tax rate of 155.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, which 
adjusted the year-to-date effective rate to 93.5%, was higher than the rate 
of 57.8% in the same period of fiscal 1997. The higher rate results from 
non-deductible goodwill amortization representing a greater portion of lower 
income before income taxes when compared with the prior year.

The third quarter of fiscal 1998 net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per 
share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.06 per share in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 27, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH  28, 1997

NET SALES

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $476.8 million
compared to $493.5 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997, a decrease
of 3%. Sales grew 2% after excluding the 3% negative impact of foreign currency
translation and 2% effect of the company's divestiture of its consumer business
in October 1997.

<PAGE>

HHG's sales increased 7% in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $222.1 
million, compared to $207.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1997. 
All product divisions had sales growth when compared to the same period of 
the prior year. Volume increases accounted for most of the growth as the 
competitive pricing environment and shift in sales mix negatively affected 
overall average selling prices.

The Continuing Care Group recorded sales of $66.6 million in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1998, a decline of 6% from sales of $71.1 million in the 
comparable period of fiscal 1997. Overall lower unit volumes and a reduction 
in average selling prices contributed to the decline.

In Europe, sales grew 2% to $188.1 in the first three quarters of fiscal 
1998, after excluding the negative 8% impact from foreign currency 
fluctuations and divestitures, compared to $200.6 million in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997. The company's businesses in France, Spain, and its 
European distribution group all had sales growth, while revenues in Germany 
declined due to significant reimbursement pressures. Total revenues in the 
U.K. also declined as a result of the depressed nursing home market. Total 
European sales results were substantially driven by unit volume increases 
over the prior year.

</TABLE>


Gross profit of $148.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was 
$11.3 million below the $159.8 million recorded in the comparable period of 
fiscal 1997. Gross margin decreased by 130 basis points to 31.1%, as a result 
of similar trends to those described above for the third quarter, namely 
pricing, product mix shifts and negative foreign currency rate impacts.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 160 basis points to 
22.7% of net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1998, compared to 24.3% 
in the prior year period. Included in the first nine months of 1997 were 
one-time costs of $1.4 million related to the company's sponsorship of the 
1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games and $2.1 million of expenses incurred at the 
company's consumer business, which was divested in October 1996. Excluding 
these expenses, marketing, selling and administrative expenses were $8.1 
million lower and declined 90 basis points as a percentage of sales from 
fiscal 1997. The decrease is attributed to the combination of company-wide 
cost containment and the expense reduction which resulted from U.S. and 
European plant consolidations.

In the first nine months of 1998, re-engineering expenses totaled $17.0 
million. Included in these expenses were the cost of relocating the company's 
Simi Valley, California plant to Tijuana, Mexico in addition to the same 
items described previously for the third quarter.

Corporate operating income decreased by 75% to $5.4 million in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1998, compared to $21.7 million in the same period of the 
prior year. Excluding re-engineering expenses of $17.0 million, corporate 
operating income would have been $22.4 million in the first nine months of 
fiscal 1998, an increase of 3% over the prior year.

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $11.1 million 
or 4% lower than interest expense of $11.5 million in the first half of the 
prior year, attributable to lower average borrowings and slightly lower 
average interest rates.

<PAGE>

Interest and other income/expense, increased to $8.5 million compared to $3.0 
million in the first nine months of the prior year. Substantially all of the 
increase relates to a favorable settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit 
and a gain on the sale of property in the U.K., both recorded in this year's 
second quarter.

Pre-tax income was $2.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1998, 
compared to $13.2 million in the same period of the prior year, a decline of 
78%. Re-engineering expenses of $17.0 million, as described above, led to the 
decline. Without these expenses, pre-tax income would have been $19.9 
million, or 50% higher than the prior year.

The effective tax rate of 93.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was 
higher than the rate of 50% in the same period of fiscal 1997 as 
non-deductible goodwill amortization represented a greater portion of income 
before income taxes.

Net income for the first three quarters fiscal 1998 was $0.2 million, or 
$0.01 per share, compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.35 per share 
in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first nine months of fiscal 1998, the company's working capital 
decreased by $0.2 million to $102.0 million. Cash provided by operating 
activities was $15.3 million, compared to $24.3 million in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1997. The decrease is primarily due to increases in 
inventories and accounts receivable, as well as lower net income. Purchases 
of property and equipment were $10.7 million, down from $22.2 million in the 
1997 period. Capital expenditures in 1997 included the cost and refurbishment 
of a plant in the U.K. designated to house the consolidated U.K. businesses. 
Long-term debt decreased by $13.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 
1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Inflation did not have any significant effect on the company's operating 
results in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
