   (d)  Notes to Financial Statements - July 1, 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 six-month periods ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, (b) the
   financial position at July 1, 1995, and (c) the cash flows for the
   six-month periods ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 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 is currently being used in clinical trials for patients
   awaiting heart transplants. 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.

        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.

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


   Overview (continued)

        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

   Second Quarter 1995 Compared With Second Quarter 1994

        Revenues in the second quarter of 1995 increased 142% to $5,589,000
   from $2,313,000 in the second quarter of 1994. Revenues increased
   principally due to an increase in the number of air-driven and electric
   LVAS implants. The number of LVAS units shipped during the second quarter
   of 1995 increased 46% compared with the second quarter of 1994. The number
   of implementation programs sold in the second quarter of 1995 were
   comparable to those sold in 1994. In addition, revenues increased
   approximately 54% as a result of price increases for the Company's LVAS. In
   the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company implemented a price increase in the
   U.S. for its air-driven LVAS that has been phased in during the first half
   of 1995 and has more than doubled the average price of an air-driven LVAS.
   The final phase of the price increase became effective during the second
   quarter of 1995. Similar price increases were implemented on an
   international basis late in the first quarter of 1995.

        The gross profit margin increased to 58% in the second quarter of 1995
   from 48% in the second 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 $1,238,000 in the second
   quarter of 1995, compared with a loss of $381,000 in the second quarter 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 $1,252,000 in the second quarter of 1995
   from $1,073,000 in the second quarter of 1994, principally due to higher
   prevailing interest rates in 1995 compared with 1994.

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

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


   First Six Months 1995 Compared With First Six Months 1994

        Revenues in the first six months of 1995 increased 128% to $9,981,000
   from $4,373,000 in the first six months of 1994. Revenues increased
   principally due to an increase in the number of air-driven and electric
   LVAS implants. The number of LVAS units shipped during the first six months
   of 1995 increased 69% compared with the first six months of 1994. The
   number of implementation programs sold in 1995 were comparable to those
   sold in 1994. In addition, revenues increased approximately 50% as a result
   of price increases for the Company's LVAS discussed in the results of
   operations for the second quarter.

        The gross profit margin increased to 57% in the first six months of
   1995 from 46% in the first six 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 $1,905,000 in the first six
   months of 1995, compared with a loss of $922,000 in the first six 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 $2,449,000 in the first six months of
   1995 from $2,072,000 in the first six months of 1994, principally due to
   higher prevailing interest rates in 1995, compared with 1994.

        The effective tax rates for the first six months of 1995 and 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 $50,663,000 at July 1, 1995, compared
   with $44,121,000 at December 31, 1994. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-
   and long-term available-for-sale investments were $89,468,000 at
   July 1, 1995, compared with $84,389,000 at December 31, 1994.

        During the remainder of 1995, the Company expects to make capital
   expenditures of approximately $600,000, 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.
