Item 2.         Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                On October 21, 1996, Respironics, Inc. ("Respironics")
                completed the acquisition of LIFECARE International, Inc.
                ("LCI") from its owners pursuant to the provisions of an
                Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stock dated as of
                August 21, 1996. Respironics paid a cash purchase price
                of $50,000,000. 
 
                LCI is a privately held developer, manufacturer and
                marketer of respiratory therapy products and is based in
                Westminster, Colorado. LCI's primary business focus is on
                portable home ventilation therapy.
 
                There are no material relationships between LCI and
                Respironics or any of its affiliates, any director or officer
                of Respironics, or any associate of such director or officer.
 
                The acquisition was financed primarily with the proceeds
                from a public offering of Respironics common stock that
                was completed in April 1996. The remainder of the 
                purchase price was financed with accumulated cash and
                short-term investment balances.

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
LIFECARE(R) International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LIFECARE(R)
International, Inc. as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 1996.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LIFECARE(R)
International, Inc. at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

LIFECARE(R) International, Inc. was incorporated in August 1968 in the state of
Colorado.  The Company manufactures, rents, sells, and services respiratory
devices to customers in the health care industry on a worldwide basis.  The
Company's business is conducted through eighteen district offices and the
corporate headquarters in the United States; its sales and service center in
Hong Kong; and a wholly-owned subsidiary, LIFECARE(R) Europe, GmbH, located
outside Munich, Germany.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LIFECARE(R)
International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LIFECARE(R) Europe, GmbH
(together, "the Company").  All material intercompany accounts and transactions
are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

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.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Revenue related to sales of equipment and parts is recorded at the time of
shipment. Revenue related to rental of equipment is recorded ratably over the
term of the lease agreement.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral.  The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations.  A significant concentration of credit risk at March
31, 1996 includes receivables from federal and state

sponsored agencies (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.) which comprise approximately 23%
of accounts receivable.  At March 31, 1996, the Company has no other significant
concentrations of outstanding trade accounts receivable or sales-type leases.

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-
out method) or market.  Inventories consist primarily of parts, supplies (which
include parts used in the repair of rental equipment) and finished goods.

Rental Equipment, Property and Equipment
- ----------------------------------------

Purchased rental equipment, property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Rental
equipment manufactured by the Company is capitalized based on manufacturing
cost.  Depreciation of rental equipment, property and equipment, including the
improvements thereto, is computed using the straight-line method over the
respective estimated useful lives, generally between three and thirty years.
All equipment acquired under capital leases is treated as purchased equipment,
recorded at cost and depreciated over its economic life.

Long-Lived Assets
- -----------------

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"), which
requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indications of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.  SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets that are expected to be disposed of.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121
in fiscal year 1997 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe
adoption will have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Intangible Assets
- -----------------

Intangible assets consist of patents, trademarks and goodwill and are amortized
using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 17, 10 and 20
years, respectively.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

Costs of research, new product development and product redesign are expensed as
incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------

Effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's net investment in
its foreign subsidiary and on the operations thereof are included in the equity
adjustment from translation account within stockholders' equity.  Translation
and transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of
income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes payable and long-term debt
approximate the fair value of these financial instruments.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain amounts in the fiscal year 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the fiscal year 1996 presentation.

2. Sales-Type Leases

The Company's rental business consists principally of the leasing of respiratory
equipment.  Most of the Company's leases provide for month-to-month rentals and
are classified as operating leases.  Rental income is recognized as earned.

</TABLE>

Under the terms of the above loan agreements the Company is required to maintain
certain financial covenants and cannot sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of a
substantial part of its assets or operations and cannot pay dividends in excess
of $25 annually.

Payments for interest approximated interest expense for the years ended March
31, 1996 and 1994.  During 1995, the Company paid $1,166 in interest, of which
$62 was capitalized.

The 1994 Industrial Development Revenue Bond

In December 1994, the Company entered a long-term obligation under an Industrial
Development Revenue bond issued by the City of Westminster, Colorado, for a
principal amount of $5,000 ("the IRB").  The IRB is guaranteed with a letter of
credit from a financial institution ("the Financial Institution") in the amount
of $5,074.

Principal is due at maturity in November 2009; however, the loan agreement with
the Financial Institution requires the Company to make a $40 principal payment
quarterly, as authorized by the IRB's indenture.  Interest is payable monthly
and is equal to the lesser of:

  (i)  10% per annum, or
  (ii) a floating rate, determined weekly by the remarketing agent for the IRB,
       a subsidiary of the Financial Institution, as the minimum rate which
       would be necessary to remarket the IRB in a secondary market transaction,
       in the amount of the then outstanding principal. The floating rate was
       3.9% at March 31, 1996.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)



3. Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Pledged Assets (continued)

The interest rate may be converted to a fixed rate at the option of the Company
at any time after June 1995.

The proceeds from the issuance of the IRB are held in escrow in a fund ("the
Project Fund") by the IRB's bond trustee ("the Trustee") and have been released
to the Company based on certified progress reports provided by the Company on
the construction of its new Westminster facilities.  At March 31, 1996, $4,157
had been released to the Company.   The balance of the Project Fund,
representing $842 of unreleased bond issuance proceeds and $75 of earned
interest income, is invested by the Trustee into qualifying securities in which
it is authorized to invest under the IRB's Indenture of Trust.  These securities
are carried at fair value as determined by the Trustee based on the most recent
available quotations.

Amounts held in the Project Fund are available to the Company on a restricted
basis, to the extent it incurs qualifying expenditures for the equipment of its
main manufacturing facility.  If the Company has not incurred sufficient
qualifying expenditures by October 1997, the then unreleased portion of the
Project Fund will be distributed by the Trustee to the holders of the IRB as a
principal payment.

4. Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Agreement

The stockholders have entered into an agreement with the Company whereby the
sale or transfer of the Company's common stock owned by stockholders to third
parties is subject to restrictions. The agreement provides, among other items,
that upon retirement, disability, death or termination of employment the Company
will repurchase such individuals' stock (including any shares acquired pursuant
to stock option agreements) at a formula price as specified in the agreement.
The March 31, 1996 formula price was $46.99 per share.  The agreement may be
terminated upon approval of holders of all of the outstanding common stock, or
upon the approval of a sale of the Company by holders of 51% of the outstanding
common stock.

Stock Options

The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), which provides for
the granting of stock options to officers of the Company.  The stock options are
intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)



4. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

The Company reserved an aggregate of 100,000 common shares for issuance under
the Plan.  Option grants may be exercised for a period of not more than five
years in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder, or ten years for a less than
10% stockholder.  Options vest as determined by the Board of Directors at the
date of grant.  The option price of any incentive stock option shall equal or
exceed the fair market value per share on the date of grant, or 110% of the fair
market value per share in the case of a 10% or greater stockholder.

Stock option transactions were as follows:

</TABLE>

Shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan are subject to the
terms, conditions and repurchase provisions of the stockholders' agreement
described above.

5. Profit-Sharing Plan

The Company has a qualified contributory profit-sharing plan for all employees
over 18 years of age.  The plan provides for contributions in such amounts as
the Board of Directors may annually determine.  The Company's contributions to
the plan for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $566, $-0-, and
$190, respectively.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to a legal dispute brought by a former employee of the
Company who was terminated during 1994.  There are several claims for relief,
including economic and emotional distress damages.  Although the outcome of this
dispute cannot currently be determined, management believes the ultimate outcome
of this case will not result in a material impact on the Company.

Total rent expense for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $952,
$883 and $989, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences
between income determined for financial reporting purposes and for income tax
purposes.  Such temporary differences are principally related to allowance for
bad debts, accelerated tax depreciation, intercompany profit in inventory,
uniform capitalized costs for income taxes, and various allowances and reserves
which are not currently deductible for income tax purposes.  These temporary
differences resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities as follows:
