   (d)  Notes to Financial Statements - September 30, 1995

   1.   General

        The interim financial statements presented have been prepared by
   Thermo Cardiosystems Inc. (the Company) without audit and, in the opinion
   of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
   necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the
   three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994,
   (b) the financial position at September 30, 1995, and (c) the cash flows
   for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994.
   Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

        The balance sheet presented as of December 31, 1994, has been derived
   from the financial statements that have been audited by the Company's
   independent public accountants. The financial statements and notes are
   presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information
   included in the annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The
   financial statements and notes included herein should be read in
   conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
   Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
   1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

   Overview

        The Company is a leader in the research and development of both an
   air-driven and an electrical implantable left ventricular-assist system
   (LVAS). The Company is also the only company with U.S. Food and Drug
   Administration (FDA) approval to commercially market an implantable LVAS.
   Each of the Company's systems is designed to perform substantially all or
   part of the pumping function of the left ventricle of the natural heart for
   patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. Unlike total artificial
   heart systems, which require removal of the natural heart, an LVAS allows
   the natural heart to be left in place, preserving the heart's biological
   control mechanisms.

        In October 1994, the Company announced that the FDA granted approval
   for the commercial sale in the U.S. of the air-driven LVAS. The electric
   version of the LVAS, which is currently being used in clinical trials in
   the U.S. for patients awaiting heart transplants, received the European
   Conformity Mark (CE Mark) in August 1995, allowing commercial sale in all
   European Community countries. The portable driver for the air-driven LVAS
   was granted the CE Mark in early 1995. Until the Company's electric LVAS
   receives FDA commercial approval, sales of the electric LVAS will fluctuate
   depending upon the number of implants performed in ongoing studies at
   approved clinical sites and the number of implementation programs sold.

                                                            September 30, 1995

   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations (continued)

   Overview (continued)

        In general, a profit cannot be earned from the sale of an LVAS until
   approval of the device has been received from the FDA for commercial sales.
   Until such approval is obtained, only the direct and indirect costs of the
   LVAS can be recovered, which are included in the Company's revenues. With
   the FDA's approval of the air-driven LVAS, the Company began earning a
   profit on the sale of such systems commencing in the fourth quarter of
   1994.

        The Company derives its revenues from two types of sales:
   implementation programs and subsequent implants. Implementation programs
   consist of initial sales to new clinical centers or foreign distributors,
   as well as sales of a new system, such as the electric LVAS, to an existing
   customer. Revenues recorded from subsequent implants consist of sales to an
   existing customer of systems other than new systems. In general, the
   Company receives greater revenues from the sale of an implementation
   program than from a subsequent implant.

   Results of Operations

   Third Quarter 1995 Compared With Third Quarter 1994
   ---------------------------------------------------

        Revenues in the third quarter of 1995 increased 101% to $5,068,000
   from $2,524,000 in the third quarter of 1994. Revenues increased
   approximately 55% due to the effect of a price increase that was phased in
   during the fourth quarter of 1994 and the first two quarters of 1995, and
   due to an increase in the number of air-driven and electric LVAS implants.
   The number of LVAS units shipped during the third quarter of 1995 increased
   37% compared with the third quarter of 1994. The number of implementation
   programs sold in the third quarter of 1995 was comparable to those sold in
   1994. 

        In July 1995, the Company instituted a voluntary recall of an inflow
   valve conduit used in its LVAS. The recall was instituted after the Company
   determined that, on several occasions, one of the valve components may have
   abraded the valve conduit material, causing a blood leak. While the recall
   did not result in the suspension of sales of the LVAS, the Company believes
   that the recall temporarily impacted orders and total sales for the third
   quarter. Sales for the months of July and August were low, with July having
   the lowest monthly sales since commercialization, while sales in September
   were the highest ever attained. Although the Company believes that it has
   corrected this problem with the inflow valve conduit, no assurance can be
   given that similar problems will not arise in the future.

   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations (continued)

   Third Quarter 1995 Compared With Third Quarter 1994 (continued)
   ---------------------------------------------------

        The gross profit margin increased to 57% in the third quarter of 1995
   from 49% in the third quarter of 1994, due primarily to the price increase,
   the increase in sales volume, and improvements in manufacturing
   efficiencies. The Company will continue to be unable to earn a profit on
   sales of the electric LVAS until FDA approval of that system is obtained.

        The Company recorded operating income of $1,267,000 in the third
   quarter of 1995, compared with an operating loss of $406,000 in the third
   quarter of 1994. This improvement resulted primarily from an increased
   gross profit margin on higher revenues.

        Interest income increased to $1,281,000 in the third quarter of 1995
   from $1,051,000 in the third quarter of 1994, principally due to higher
   prevailing interest rates in 1995 compared with 1994.

        The effective tax rates for the third quarter of 1995 and, to a lesser
   extent, the third quarter of 1994 were below the combined federal and state
   statutory income tax rate of 40% due to the recognition of state tax loss
   carryforwards.

   First Nine Months 1995 Compared With First Nine Months 1994
   -----------------------------------------------------------

        Revenues in the first nine months of 1995 increased 118% to
   $15,049,000 from $6,897,000 in the first nine months of 1994. Revenues
   increased approximately 62% as a result of the price increase for the
   Company's LVAS discussed in the results of operations for the third quarter
   and, to a lesser extent, due to an increase in the number of air-driven and
   electric LVAS implants. The number of LVAS units shipped during the first
   nine months of 1995 increased 59% compared with the first nine months of
   1994. The number of implementation programs sold in 1995 were comparable to
   those sold in 1994.

        The gross profit margin increased to 57% in the first nine months of
   1995 from 47% in the first nine months of 1994, due primarily to the price
   increase, the increase in sales volume, and improvements in manufacturing
   efficiencies.

        The Company recorded operating income of $3,172,000 in the first nine
   months of 1995, compared with an operating loss of $1,328,000 in the first
   nine months of 1994. This improvement resulted primarily from an increased
   gross profit margin on higher revenues, partially offset by increased
   expenses to market and distribute the Company's LVAS.

        Interest income increased to $3,730,000 in the first nine months of
   1995 from $3,123,000 in the first nine months of 1994, principally due to
   higher prevailing interest rates in 1995 compared with 1994.

   Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations (continued)

   First Nine Months 1995 Compared With First Nine Months 1994 (continued)
   -----------------------------------------------------------

        The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 1995 and, to a
   lesser extent, the first nine months of 1994 were below the combined
   federal and state statutory income tax rate of 40% due to the recognition
   of state tax loss carryforwards.

   Financial Condition

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

        Working capital, including cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
   available-for-sale investments, was $47,493,000 at September 30, 1995,
   compared with $44,121,000 at December 31, 1994. Cash, cash equivalents, and
   short- and long-term available-for-sale investments were $88,794,000 at
   September 30, 1995, compared with $84,389,000 at December 31, 1994.

        During the remainder of 1995, the Company expects to make capital
   expenditures of approximately $400,000, principally for manufacturing and
   tooling equipment and leasehold improvements for the continued development
   and production of the Company's LVAS. The Company believes that it has
   adequate resources to meet its financial needs for the foreseeable future.
