              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (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 July 3, 1998, filed 
by Sunrise Medical Inc. (the company) with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of 
January 1, 1999 and for the thirteen week and twenty-six week periods ended 
January 1, 1999 and December 26, 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):

</TABLE>

Interim period inventory classifications involve a degree of estimation due 
to the timing of physical inventories throughout the fiscal year.

3.  ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS

On April 13, 1998 the company issued 2.7 million shares of its common stock 
for all outstanding common stock of DynaVox, a manufacturer of speech 
augmentation devices. This business combination has been accounted for as a 
pooling of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements 
for periods prior to the combination have been restated to include the 
accounts and results of operations of DynaVox.

The results of operations previously reported by the separate enterprises and 
the combined amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements are summarized below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

REPORTING UNITS

The company reports its results of operations by four groups: Home Healthcare 
Group (HHG), European Homecare, Continuing Care Group (CCG) and DynaVox.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JANUARY 1, 1999 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED 
DECEMBER 26, 1997

NET SALES

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $163.5 million compared 
to $169.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1998, with the impact 
from acquisitions and foreign currency translations negligible. The decrease 
in sales is the result of the timing of the quarter end, whereby there were 
fewer shipping days in the current year quarter versus the prior year.

HHG's sales, which include homecare operations in the United States, Canada, 
Mexico and Australia, decreased 1% in the second quarter of 1999 to $86.6 
million, compared to $87.5 million in the second quarter of 1998. Increased 
sales of mobility products were more than offset by declines in personal care 
and respiratory products. Personal care product shipments were impacted by 
limitations at the company's Mexico facility, resulting in a buildup in 
backlog at quarter's end. The decline in respiratory product sales is due to 
industry softness in this market as a result of decreased government 
reimbursement rates.

European Homecare sales were $52.0 million in the second quarter of 1999 
compared to $57.5 million in the second quarter of 1998, a decrease of 10%. 
Western Europe, which includes Spain and France Homecare, experienced sales 
growth, but was offset by overall sales declines in Northern Europe, 
attributable to delays in new product launches, and Central Europe, due to 
reimbursement changes. Export sales were negatively impacted by the strong 
pound sterling.

CCG, which combines globally all product lines that are sold to nursing homes 
and assisted living facilities, posted sales of $19.3 million in the second 
quarter of 1999, a decline of 7% from sales of $20.8 million in the 
comparable period of 1998. The decline is primarily attributable to a 
decrease in sales volume to one major customer. In addition, construction 
emphasis is shifting from nursing home construction to assisted living 
facilities. Sales to assisted living facilities grew 228% this quarter, but 
from a small base.

DynaVox sales advanced 49% to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 1999 
compared to $3.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase 
is attributable to sales of new products, including the DynaVox 3100, 
DynaMyte 3100 and software for both Windows and MacIntosh system 
environments, introduced in the first quarter of 1999.

</TABLE>

Despite the decline in sales, gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 
the second quarter of 1999 decreased only 0.3% from the second quarter of 
fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of higher freight costs to expedite 
shipments and lower production volumes, offset by lower material costs.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased by 8% in the second 
quarter of 1999 compared to the prior year period, and declined as a 
percentage of sales to 22.8% compared to 23.9% in the second quarter of 1998. 
The decrease is a continuation of the first quarter trend of good control 
over operating expenses, and also represents a positive benefit from 
re-engineering efforts.

Research and development expenses increased to $4.9 million, representing 3% 
of net sales, from $4.1 million in the prior year, or 2.4% of sales, as the 
company focuses resources on more sophisticated new products.

Expenses related to re-engineering, which was completed in June of 1998, were 
$7.0 million in the second quarter of 1998. These expenses were the costs 
incurred during the quarter with respect to the re-engineering and facilities 
consolidation.

Interest and other income, net in the prior year second quarter includes a 
favorable settlement of a patent infringement litigation and a gain on the 
sale of property in the U.K, totaling approximately $4.9 million, pre-tax.

The effective tax rate of 51.9% in the second quarter of 1999 was comparable 
to 49.0% in the same period of 1998.

Net income for the second quarter 1999 was $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, 
compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share in the second 
quarter of 1998. Last year's earnings were impacted by non-recurring 
re-engineering expenses and other income items that had a net negative impact 
of $2.1 million before taxes, or $0.06 per share after adjusting for taxes.

TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JANUARY 1, 1999 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED 
DECEMBER 26, 1997

NET SALES

Net sales for the first half of fiscal 1999 were $328.3 million compared to 
$324.1 million in the comparable period of 1998, an increase of 1%, with the 
impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translations negligible.

                                      10
<PAGE>

HHG's sales increased 2% in the first half of 1999 to $170.3 million, 
compared to $167.4 million in the first half of 1998. The increase is 
primarily attributable to growth in mobility products. The group's 
performance was negatively impacted by continuing production problems in 
Mexico, exacerbated by the holiday shutdown and success of the recently 
introduced Breezy 100 wheelchair, causing an increase in backlog of personal 
care products. The unfavorable industry conditions in oxygen products, 
brought about by the Balanced Budget Act, resulted in a sales decline in 
respiratory products.

European Homecare sales declined 3% to $108.1 compared to $111.5 million in 
the first half of fiscal 1998. Spain, France Homecare and the Central Europe 
distribution divisions all had sales growth, while revenues in the U.K. 
declined due to soft market conditions and Germany was impacted by 
reimbursement changes.

CCG sales increased 3% to $39.3 million in the first half of 1999, compared 
to $38.0 in the comparable period of 1998. The increase is attributable to 
strong shipments in the first quarter, offset by softness in the second 
quarter.

DynaVox sales of $10.5 million represent a 36% growth over $7.7 million in 
sales during the first half of 1998, as a result of similar trends to those 
described above for the second quarter, namely new product introductions.

</TABLE>

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.9% compared to the 
first half of the prior year. Margins were negatively impacted by higher 
freight costs to expedite backlog shipments and lower production volumes.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses were 22.0% of net sales in the 
first half of 1999 compared to 23.8% the prior year period, a decline of 
1.8%. The decrease represents the benefits the re-engineering program and the 
leaner structure of the company.

Research and development expenses increased in the first half of 1999 to $9.3 
million, 2.8% of net sales, compared to $8.3 million, or 2.6% of net sales in 
the same period of 1998. This increase reflects the company's investment in 
new products to improve sales and margins.

In the first half of 1998, re-engineering expenses totaled $11.7 million. The 
same items as described previously for the second quarter are also included 
in the year-to-date amount.

The change in interest income and other, net from the prior year relates 
primarily to a favorable settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit and a 
gain on the sale of property in the U.K reported in the second quarter of 
1998.

The effective tax rate of 51.6% in the first half of 1999 was higher than the 
rate of 44.8% in the same period of 1998 as the 1998 rate was impacted by 
DynaVox's earnings, which represented a larger portion of net income and were 
taxed at a lower rate. The effective tax rate is greater than the expected 
statutory rate due to the effect of amortization of non-deductible goodwill.

Net income was $5.4 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to net income of 
$1.8 million, or $0.08 per share in the same period of the prior year. Last 
year's earnings were impacted by $6.8 million or $0.18 per share, net 
non-recurring expense and income items described above for the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of 1999, the company's working capital increased by 
$17.8 million to $125.4 million primarily due to increased accounts 
receivable. The company invested $8.9 million in property and equipment, 
including the new facility in Mexico and a plant expansion in Germany. The 
company borrowed $9.8 million in long-term debt, net of a $2.9 million pay 
down in the second quarter.

The effect of foreign currency translation may result in amounts being shown 
for cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows that 
are different from the changes reflected in the balance sheet captions.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Inflation did not have a significant effect on the company's operating 
results in the first half of fiscal 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently installed computer systems and software products in use around 
the world today are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code 
field. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to 
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. This could result in 
system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations 
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, 
send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. As a result, 
many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or 
replaced in order to comply with such Year 2000 requirements.

A corporate oversight task force is in operation at Sunrise to address Year 
2000 issues. Milestones have been established and detailed plans are actively 
being implemented so that Sunrise products and internal computer, financial, 
manufacturing, research and other infrastructure systems are reviewed, and 
the necessary changes are addressed. Corporate and divisional staffs, 
including the company's internal auditors, are performing independent reviews 
and evaluations of equipment and systems to verify compliance. Additionally, 
Sunrise customer and supplier relationships are being reviewed to assess and 
address Year 2000 issues.

During 1998, all Sunrise information processing operations in the U.S. were 
consolidated onto two Year 2000 compliant system platforms from 10 original 
legacy systems. In Europe, the 

                                      12
<PAGE>

conversion of Sunrise operations to a common Year 2000 compliant system is 
complete in the U.K. and France, with the conversions for Germany, Spain and 
the outlying distribution companies scheduled to be completed by mid-calendar 
1999.

The company is evaluating all products manufactured and sold for Year 2000 
compliance. Most products will not be affected due to the mechanical nature 
and the absence of date-dependent functions. Those products with date 
functions will be analyzed and tested by the company's engineering and 
quality assurance staff by mid-calendar 1999 to determine whether they will 
be in any way affected by the Year 2000 situation. While the company is 
taking numerous steps to ensure that all products are Year 2000 compliant and 
to make information on the Year 2000 readiness of Sunrise products available 
to its customers, there is no way to fully guarantee that the company will be 
completely successful in either case.

Also, Sunrise is requesting assurances from its major suppliers that they are 
addressing this issue and that products procured by Sunrise will function 
properly in the Year 2000. Certain critical suppliers have been unwilling to 
provide such assurances and do not expect to provide such assurances prior to 
the Year 2000. This is particularly the case outside of the United States 
where Sunrise has significant operations. This could result in manufacturing 
delays and backlogs. In addition, many governmental agencies (including 
agencies which directly or indirectly provide funding for the purchase of 
products sold by Sunrise) and other third parties (such as telephone, 
electricity and other utility companies) may not be Year 2000 compliant. As a 
result, it is difficult for the company to assess the likelihood, or the 
impact on its business, of such entities' failure to be Year 2000 compliant.

The company anticipates that its systems, equipment and processes will be 
substantially Year 2000 compliant by the end of June 1999. The costs the 
company has incurred to date in connection with its Year 2000 compliance 
program have not had a material impact on its financial condition or results 
of operations. Based on the information currently available, the company 
estimates that its total cost will not be material. This estimate is based on 
information available at this time. New developments that occur could affect 
the company's estimate of the amount of time and costs necessary to become 
Year 2000 compliant. The company currently expects that the Year 2000 issue 
will not pose significant operational problems. However, delays in the 
company's remediation efforts, or a failure to timely identify all Year 2000 
dependencies in the systems, equipment or processes of the company, its 
vendors, customers, financial institutions or other third parties could have 
material adverse consequences, including delays in the manufacture, delivery 
or sale of products. The company is in the process of developing contingency 
plans along with its remediation efforts for continuing operations in the 
event such problems arise, but no assurance can be given that the company 
will be fully successful in this regard. The information about the Year 2000 
status of Sunrise Medical Inc. and its subsidiaries is believed to be 
accurate, but is presented for information purposes only, and is not a 
contractual commitment or modification of any contract that may exist between 
Sunrise and any third party.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                                      13
<PAGE>

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an 
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). The statement changes the way 
companies report segment information and requires segments to be determined 
and reported based on how management measures performance and makes decisions 
about allocating resources. SFAS 131 will be reflected in the company's 1999 
Annual Report.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments 
and Hedging Activities: (SFAS 133). This statement establishes accounting and 
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 
133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or 
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those 
instruments at fair value. The Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters 
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

Adoption of these standards is not expected to have a material effect on the 
company's financial position or results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The company has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q, including 
(i) timing of the completion of the conversion of European computer systems. 
These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ 
materially as a result of risks and uncertainties facing the company 
including: (i) the impact of competitive products and activities; (ii) 
industry pricing pressures; (iii) the cost and availability of raw materials; 
(iv) product development, commercialization and market acceptance risks; (v) 
reductions in government funding for products sold by the company; (vi) 
unfavorable governmental regulatory actions (such as by the FDA in the U.S.); 
(vii) risks and uncertainties associated with the company's international 
activities; (viii) year 2000 compliance issues; and (ix) other factors 
referenced in this and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings of 
the company. The company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors 
or to announce publicly the result of any revision to any of the 
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, or to make 
corrections to reflect future events or developments.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS. Although the majority of the company's 
transactions are in U.S. dollars, some transactions are based in various 
foreign currencies. The company purchases short-term, forward exchange 
contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain 
underlying assets, liabilities and commitments for operating costs 
denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of entering into these 
contracts is to protect against economic losses associated with foreign 
exchange transactions. Gains and losses on the hedges offset a majority of 
the increases or decreases in the company's local currency operating costs in 
the corresponding periods. The contracts have maturity dates that do not 
normally exceed 12 months. The unrealized gains and losses on these contracts 
are deferred and recognized in the results of operations in the period in 
which the hedged transaction impacts earnings. The company does not purchase 
short-term forward exchange contracts for trading purposes.

                                      14
<PAGE>

As of January 1, 1999 the company had $41.9 million in foreign currency 
forward contracts compared to $31.8 million as of July 3, 1998. The company 
has performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse 
movement in foreign exchange rates applied to the hedging contracts. As of 
January 1, 1999, the analysis indicated that such market movements would have 
resulted in a $3.5 million loss on foreign currency forward contracts 
outstanding. Comparatively, a $3.2 million loss on foreign currency forward 
contracts would have resulted assuming a 10% adverse movement in foreign 
exchange rates applied to hedging contracts at July 3, 1998. Such losses 
would be substantially offset by gains from the revaluation or settlement of 
the underlying positions hedged. This calculation assumes that each exchange 
rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. Actual 
gains and losses in the future may differ materially from that analysis based 
on changes in the timing and amount of foreign currency exchange rate 
movements and the company's actual exposures and hedges.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS. The company is exposed to interest rate risk through its 
variable interest rate borrowing activities. The company used interest rate 
swap agreements to minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuation on 
interest expense.

As of January 1, 1999 the company had the following interest rate swaps 
outstanding:
