Plan Administrator
Respironics, Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Respironics, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at June
30 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of June 30, 1999 and reportable transactions for
the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplementary schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Respironics, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

June 30, 1999


NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The accounting records of the Respironics, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the
"Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis.  Certain financial information as
of and for the year ended June 30, 1998 has been reclassified to conform with
the financial statement presentation as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999.
These reclassifications did not impact the total net assets available for
benefits.

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------

The fair value of the Plan's investments in registered investment companies are
based on quoted redemption value on the last business day of the plan year.
Shares of Respironics, Inc. common stock are valued at the last trade price on
the last business day of the plan year.

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.

NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION

The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualifying under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code.   The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The following description of
the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued)

Contributions
- -------------

Employees of Respironics, Inc. (the "Company"), upon date of hire, are eligible
to participate and contribute to the Plan.  An employee electing to participate
in the Plan (a "participant") may contribute from 1% to 15% of his or her
compensation through payroll deductions.  The Plan sponsor matches participant
contributions 100% up to a maximum of 3% of the participant's base wages.  The
matching contribution is funded in cash among the available investment options
and/or Company common stock based upon the election of each participant.

Discretionary contributions may be authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Company.  The amount of the discretionary contribution shall be determined by
the Board of Directors.  No discretionary contributions were made during 1999 or
1998.

Investments
- -----------

Participants may elect to invest their salary deferral contributions in any one
of 15 funds or may split their contributions between these funds.  Individual
accounts are established for each plan participant and are credited for
participant and Company contributions and an allocation of earnings based on the
participant's account balance.

Termination and Vesting
- -----------------------

With respect to Company discretionary and matching contributions, a participant
vests gradually and becomes fully vested at the end of four years of credited
service in accordance with an amendment to the Plan effective October 21, 1996
that reduced the number of years required to become fully vested from seven to
four.  Participants who terminate as a result of normal retirement, death or
disability become 100% vested at that time regardless of years of credited
service.  Upon termination of service, participants receive their entire salary
deferral contributions and the vested portion of the Company's discretionary and
matching contributions through a lump-sum payment at termination or at a future
date of their choosing.  The remaining non-vested portion of the Company's
discretionary and matching contributions are forfeited to the Company, and are
available to the Company, to be utilized to offset future years' Company
matching contributions.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued)

Termination and Vesting (continued)
- -----------------------

Participants may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their account, without
terminating employment with the Company, upon becoming disabled, reaching age
59-1/2, or under special hardship provisions.

Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, it maintains the
right to discontinue contributions and terminate the Plan.  In the event of a
termination of the Plan, each participant would become fully vested and
participants' account balances would be distributed accordingly.

Loans
- -----

Effective with an October 21, 1996 amendment to the Plan, the administrator may
authorize a loan to a participant for an amount up to 50% of the vested account
balance of the participant.  The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $500,
and the maximum amount varies with the participant's vested account balance, but
cannot exceed $50,000.  The plan administrator will determine a reasonable rate
of interest for each loan upon consideration of the rate of interest then
prevailing in the local community for similar loans, currently prime plus 1%.
Loans are generally required to be repaid in five years in equal installments;
however, the term of the loan may be extended if the intended use of the funds
is to acquire a residence.

Transfers into Plan
- -------------------

In August 1997 approximately $2.7 million of participant accounts were rolled
into the Respironics Inc. Retirement Savings Plan, in connection with the
termination of the LIFECARE International Inc. Employee Retirement Savings and
Profit Sharing Plan.   The Company acquired LIFECARE International Inc. on
October 21, 1996, pursuant to which the Plan was amended to provide
participation rights to eligible LIFECARE International Inc. employees.

In September, 1998, approximately $6.8 million of participant accounts were
rolled into the Respironics Inc. Retirement Savings Plan from another qualified
plan.  The rollover results from a February, 1998 merger of one of the Company's
wholly owned subsidiaries with Healthdyne Technologies, Inc. The Plan was
restated in August of 1998 in order to incorporate all prior amendments and
provide for the participation of Healthdyne Technologies, Inc employees.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

NOTE C--PLAN INVESTMENTS

Pursuant to the integration of the Healthdyne Technologies, Inc. employees, the
1998 plan year fund options were replaced.  All participant balances in the 1998
replaced funds were reallocated to the new fund options, at the discretion of
each participant.  Additionally, those participant accounts invested in the
former Healthdyne Technologies, Inc. plan were allocated to the new fund
options, at the discretion of each participant.

The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
Plan's net assets:

</TABLE>


NOTE D--INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) dated November 8, 1995, stating that the Plan qualified under section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust
is exempt from taxation.  The Plan was amended subsequent to IRS determination
letter.  The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes
that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

NOTE E--TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

NOTE F-- YEAR 2000 (Unaudited)

The Company has completed formal communications with its significant service
providers, who have indicated the Plan's systems or operations should not be
vulnerable to those parties' failure to remediate their Year 2000 issues.  In
addition the Company has completed its process of identifying and assessing  its
internal systems that impact the processing of employee benefits.  These systems
have been tested, with any instances of non-compliance identified for necessary
remediation.

Based on current information, the Company expects that its internal systems will
be Year 2000 compliant, with no foreseeable significant costs to complete its
efforts.
