BALLARD MEDICAL PRODUCTS AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    In  management's  opinion,   the  accompanying  condensed
      unaudited consolidated financial  statements contain  all
      adjustments   (consisting   only   of   normal  recurring
      accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  financial
      condition of Ballard Medical Products and Subsidiaries as
      of December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994, the  results
      of  operations for  the three  months ended  December 31,
      1994  and 1993, and  the cash flows for  the three months
      ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.

2.    The  results of  operations  for the  three  months ended
      December 31, 1994 are not indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year ended September 30, 1995.

3.    On December 28, 1994, the Company paid a cash dividend of
      $.06 per share to  shareholders of record as of  December
      12, 1994.

4.    On  October 1,  1994,  the Company  adopted  Statement of
      Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.  115  (SFAS  115),
      "Accounting  for Certain  Investments in Debt  and Equity
      Securities".   SFAS 115 requires the  Company to classify
      its  investment securities  as  either held  to maturity,
      available  for sale,  or trading.  At  December 31, 1994,
      the Company considers all of its investment securities to
      be  available for  sale and,  as  such, accounts  for its
      investments   at  fair   value  with   any   tax-affected
      unrealized gain or  loss reported as a separate component
      of  stockholders' equity.   The  adoption of SFAS  115 on
      October 1,  1994, resulted in a  decrease in the carrying
      values of investments available for sale of approximately
      $1,036,000, as  of October 1, 1994,  with a corresponding
      decrease in stockholders' equity and increase in deferred
      taxes  receivable of approximately $659,000 and $377,000,
      respectively.  Implementation  of SFAS 115 will result in
      additions  to  or  deductions  from  total  stockholders'  
      equity as the result of fluctuations in fair value.

      The  amortized   cost  and  fair   value  of  investments
      available-for-sale  as  of  December  31,  1994  were  as
      follows:

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

      The Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders contains
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations  at and for the year ended  September 30,
1994.  The following discussion and analysis describes material
changes in the  Company's financial condition and position from
September 30, 1994.  Trends of a material nature are  discussed
to the extent  known and considered relevant.  The  analysis of
results of operations  compares the three months ended December
31, 1994 with the corresponding period of 1993.  This  analysis
should   be  considered  in  conjunction   with  the  condensed
unaudited  consolidated  balance  sheets,  condensed  unaudited
consolidated  statements of operations, and condensed unaudited
consolidated statements of cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      OVERVIEW - The Company's net sales for the first  quarter
of fiscal  year 1995 were  at a record  level, increasing  more
than 15% over the corresponding period of fiscal year 1994  and
more than 47% higher than the  previous quarter ended September  
30,  1994.  The Company's net income for  the first quarter was
strong with after  tax profits of 24.7% of net  sales, compared
with 10.3% for the previous quarter.

      SALES  -  Net  sales for the three  months ended December
31,  1994  increased   15.4%  to  $18,510,229,  compared   with
$16,035,355 for  the corresponding period in  fiscal year 1994.
Net  sales  have increased  principally  due  to  better market
penetration by the  Company's expanded sales force resulting in
increased sales of  the TRACH CARE custom kits and  MIC enteral
feeding  catheters.    The  Company  hopes  that the  remaining
quarters of fiscal year 1995 will continue a pattern of  growth
and profitability. 

      There  were no  price increases  during the  three months
covered by  this report;  therefore, the  increase in sales  is
attributable primarily to an increased volume of products sold.

      All  sales of  the Company and  related receipts  were in
U.S.  dollars.  Export sales to unaffiliated customers from the
Company's domestic operations did  not exceed 10 percent of the
Company's domestic consolidated sales.

      COST OF  PRODUCTS SOLD -  Cost of products  sold for  the
three months ended December 31, 1994 was $6,218,877 compared to
$4,849,317  for  the  corresponding  period  of  1993.    As  a
percentage  of net sales,  cost of products sold  for the three
months  ended December  31, 1994,  compared to  1993, increased
3.3% from 30.2% to 33.5%.  The increase reflects the  initially
higher costs of introducing new products to the market, as well
as anticipated higher manufacturing overhead costs and variable
changes in sales mix. 

      OPERATING   EXPENSES  -  Operating  expenses  consist  of
selling,  general, and  administrative  expenses,  research and
development expenses,  and royalty  expenses.   Total operating
expenses  for the  three months  ended December  31, 1994  were
$6,188,188  which  represents  an  increase  of  9.5% over  the
corresponding period of 1993.

      The increase  in operating  expenses is  due primarily to
increased selling, general, and  administrative expenses  which
increased  from $4,949,201  in the  quarter ended  December 31,
1993  to $5,356,123  in the  quarter  ended December  31, 1994.
These increased costs reflect the increased level of sales.  As
a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased from 30.9% in the quarter ended December 31,
1993 to 28.9% in the quarter ended December 31, 1994.

      Research  and  development  and  royalty  expenses  as  a
percentage of net sales remained relatively  consistent between
the periods.

      OTHER  INCOME  -  Other  income  consists  principally of  
interest income  from investments  and royalty  income from the
licensing of  the TRACH CARE  closed suction system.   For  the
three  months  ended December  31,  1994  other  income totaled
$911,300,  compared to  $1,060,151 for  the three  months ended
December 31, 1993.  The decrease primarily reflects a reduction
in royalty income.

      NET  INCOME  - Net  income  for  the  three  months ended
December  31, 1994  increased 6.4%  to $4,566,464,  compared to
$4,291,986 for the  three months ended December 31, 1993.   The
increase in net income reflects  the growth in net sales.  As a
percentage of net sales, net income for the three months  ended
December 31, 1994 was strong, at 24.7%.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's balance  sheet and financial condition have
never  been stronger.    At December  31,  1994  the  Company's
current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $59,738,555,
a current ratio of 19.8 to 1.0.  The Company had $33,687,917 in
cash, cash  equivalents, and investments available  for sale at
December 31,  1994, an  increase of  $2,247,550 since September
30,  1994.  Cash flows  from operations totaled  $5,477,147 for
the  quarter ended  December  31, 1994.    Stockholders' equity
increased by $2,414,310  during the three months ended December
31,  1994, going  from  $90,433,499  at September  30,  1994 to
$92,847,809 at December 31, 1994. 

      In  addition to  its  strong liquid  position  and equity
balance, the Company does not have any long-term debt nor  does
it  intend to  utilize  debt  to fund  future expansion.    The
Company maintains  a $4,000,000  unsecured line  of credit with
its bank but has never drawn on this line.  Continued growth in
cash, cash  equivalents, and  investments provides the  Company
financial stability and flexibility to fund current operations,
acquisitions, future growth, and expansion, and to continue its
dividend payment policy.

      At   December  31,   1994,  trade   receivables   totaled
$14,838,393, compared  to $13,505,173  at September  30,  1994.
The increase in receivables reflects the increase  in net sales
for the period.  

      Inventories  at December  31,  1994  were  $8,609,268,  a
decrease of $1,064,368 since September 30,  1994.  The decrease
in inventory levels reflects the changes made in  the Company's
distribution system  as well  as a normalizing of  hospital and
distributor purchasing.

      No significant commitments  for the purchase of inventory
or property or equipment existed as of December 31, 1994.

      During  the three  months  ended December  31,  1994, the
Company paid cash dividends totaling $1,582,286.  

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      GUARDIANSHIP OF CARMEN MARIE SMOOT
      v. BALLARD MEDICAL PRODUCTS, ET AL.

      On or about  December 21, 1994, Adolph W. Smoot,  Sr. and
Rosalia C. Smoot (heirs of Carmen Marie Smoot) filed a Petition
in  Intervention  in  this  litigation,  adding wrongful  death
claims.  The Company continues to  be defended in this  case by
counsel appointed  by its insurance carrier,  and believes that
any  possible judgment  in this  case would  be covered  by its
product liability insurance.   

      Otherwise, no material developments have occurred in this
litigation since the filing of the Company's Form 10-K for  the
year ended September 30, 1994.  The parties continue to  engage
in the discovery process.

      BALLARD MEDICAL PRODUCTS 
      v. HUNTINGTON LABORATORIES, INC.

      On  February  3, 1995,  Judge  Jenkins granted  Ballard's
motion for  partial summary judgment,  ruling that Huntington's
foaming  device  literally  infringes two  claims  of Ballard's
Reissue Patent  No. 33,564.   This is a  significant ruling  in
Ballard's favor, disposing of the key issue in the case without
the need of a jury trial.

      Remaining issues  in the litigation  between Ballard  and
Huntington are still pending.  For example, Ballard's claim for
patent  infringement damages has not  yet been resolved  by the
court.

      OTHER LITIGATION
