                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

    1.  General

        The interim consolidated 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 the financial position at
    September 27, 1997, the results of operations for the three- and
    nine-month periods ended September 27, 1997, and September 28, 1996, and
    the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 27, 1997, and
    September 28, 1996. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
    results for a full year.

        Historical financial results have been restated to include
    International Technidyne Corporation (International Technidyne), which
    was acquired in a transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a
    pooling of interests (Note 2). The consolidated financial statements and
    notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain
    information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and
    notes of the Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes
    included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
    financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on
    Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996, filed
    with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    2.  Acquisition

        In March 1997, the Company announced its intention to acquire
    International Technidyne from Thermo Electron Corporation (Thermo
    Electron), the Company's ultimate parent company, in a merger in which
    approximately 3,356,000 shares of the Company's common stock would be
    issued in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of International
    Technidyne. On May 2, 1997, the transaction was completed, subject to
    shareholder approval of the issuance of 3,355,705 shares of Company
    common stock to Thermo Electron in the merger. International Technidyne
    is a leading manufacturer of near-patient, whole-blood coagulation
    testing equipment and related disposables, and also manufactures
    premium-quality, single-use, skin-incision devices. In 1996,
    International Technidyne's revenues and net income were $33,992,000 and
    $4,672,000, respectively.

        Because the Company and International Technidyne were deemed for
    accounting purposes to be under control of their common majority owner,
    Thermo Electron, the transaction has been accounted for at historical
    cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, all
    historical financial information presented has been restated to include
    the acquisition of International Technidyne. The 3,355,705 shares of the
    Company's common stock issuable in the merger will not be issued until
    the listing of such shares for trading on the American Stock Exchange has
    been approved by the Company's shareholders. Because Thermedics Inc.
    (Thermedics) is the majority shareholder and intends to vote its shares
    in favor of such listing, approval is assured and, therefore, the shares
    are considered to be outstanding as of January 1, 1996, for purposes
                                        7PAGE

    3.  Subordinated Convertible Debentures

        In May 1997, the Company issued and sold at par $70,000,000 principal
    amount of 4 3/4% subordinated convertible debentures due 2004, for net
    proceeds of $68.0 million. The debentures are convertible into shares of
    the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $31.415 per share and
    are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Thermo Electron.


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

        Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
    For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements
    of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
    Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates,"
    "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are
    intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of
    important factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ
    materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements,
    including those detailed under the caption "Forward-looking Statements"
    in Exhibit 13 to the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K, as amended,
    for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996, filed with the Securities
    and Exchange Commission.

    Overview

        The Company is a leader in the research, development, and manufacture
    of implantable left ventricular-assist systems (LVAS). Its HeartMate(R)
    devices are 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.

        In general, a profit cannot be earned from the sale of an LVAS in the
    United States until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
    approved the device for commercial sale. 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 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
    additional sales to an existing customer other than the initial sale of
    the implementation program. In general, the Company receives greater
    revenues from the sale of an implementation program than from a
    subsequent implant.

        In December 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the
    assets, subject to certain liabilities, of Nimbus Medical, Inc. (Nimbus),
    a research and development organization. Nimbus has been involved in
    artificial-heart technology for more than 20 years and has carried out
    research in two primary fields: ventricular-assist devices and total
    artificial hearts. Nimbus was instrumental in developing the basic
    technology for high-speed rotary blood pumps. Because of their smaller
    size, rotary blood pumps may potentially be used to provide cardiac
    support in small adults and in children.

        The Company's International Technidyne Corporation (International
    Technidyne) subsidiary (Note 2) is a leading manufacturer of
    near-patient, whole-blood coagulation testing equipment and related
    disposables, and also manufactures premium-quality, single-use,
    skin-incision devices.

    Results of Operations

    Third Quarter 1997 Compared With Third Quarter 1996

        Revenues in the third quarter of 1997 were $14,727,000, compared with
    $16,084,000 in the third quarter of 1996. This decrease was due to
    decreases of $1,969,000 and $567,000 in revenues from the Company's
    air-driven and electric LVAS, respectively. The Company expects that
    revenues from sales of its LVAS will stabilize at approximately current
    levels until the electric system is approved in the U.S. for commercial
    sale. The Company believes that this approval could occur during 1997;
    however, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive this
                                        9PAGE

    Third Quarter 1997 Compared With Third Quarter 1996 (continued)

    approval within the expected time period, or at all. The decrease in
    revenues was offset in part by an increase in revenues from International
    Technidyne to $9,090,000 in 1997 from $8,490,000 in 1996, as well as the
    inclusion of $425,000 in revenues from Nimbus, acquired in December 1996.

        The gross profit margin decreased to 59% in the third quarter of 1997
    from 61% in the third quarter of 1996, primarily due to a shift in the
    sales mix to lower-margin electric LVAS and, to a lesser extent, the
    inclusion of low-margin revenues from Nimbus. This decrease was offset in
    part by improved margins at International Technidyne, primarily due to
    manufacturing efficiencies.

        Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of
    revenues increased to 27% in the third quarter of 1997 from 22% in the
    third quarter of 1996, primarily due to higher marketing expenses as a
    result of an increase in the Company's LVAS sales force and, to a lesser
    extent, an increase in sales personnel and promotional expenses at
    International Technidyne.

        Research and development expenses increased to $1,978,000 in the
    third quarter of 1997 from $1,765,000 in the third quarter of 1996. This
    increase was primarily due to the inclusion of expenditures from Nimbus,
    acquired in December 1996 and, to a lesser extent, expenses incurred in
    association with a clinical trial being conducted by the Company to
    evaluate the electric LVAS as an alternative to medical therapy. The
    Company expects research and development expenses to continue to increase
    over the life of the trial, estimated as two to three years. There can be
    no assurance that the Company will complete this study or that it will
    receive approval during this time period, or at all.

        Interest income increased to $1,804,000 in the third quarter of 1997
    from $1,286,000 in the third quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of
    higher average invested balances. In May 1997, the Company issued and
    sold at par $70,000,000 principal amount of 4 3/4% subordinated
    convertible debentures due 2004, for net proceeds of $68.0 million
    (Note 3).

        Interest expense increased to $898,000 in the third quarter of 1997
    from $11,000 in the third quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of the
    issuance of the 4 3/4% subordinated convertible debentures.

        The effective tax rates were 38% and 39% in the third quarter of 1997
    and 1996, respectively. The effective tax rates exceeded the statutory
    federal income tax rate, primarily due to the impact of state income
    taxes.

    First Nine Months 1997 Compared With First Nine Months 1996

        Revenues in the first nine months of 1997 were $45,560,000, compared
    with $47,382,000 in the first nine months of 1996. This decrease was
    primarily due to a $4,712,000 decrease in revenues from the Company's
    air-driven LVAS, offset in part by a $1,238,000 increase in revenues from
    the Company's electric LVAS. The decrease in revenues in 1997 was also
    offset in part by the inclusion of $1,567,000 in revenues from Nimbus,
    acquired in December 1996, as well as an increase in revenues from
    International Technidyne to $26,171,000 in 1997 from $25,666,000 in 1996.

        The gross profit margin decreased to 56% in the first nine months of
    1997 from 59% in the first nine months of 1996, primarily due to a shift
    in the sales mix to lower-margin electric LVAS and, to a lesser extent,
    increased warranty costs due to a Company-initiated modification of
    certain of its LVAS, completed in the first quarter of 1997. This
    decrease was offset in part by improved margins at International
    Technidyne, primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies. The Company
    announced an overall price increase of approximately 10% in the electric
    LVAS product line, effective June 28, 1997, to help offset increased
    production costs.

        Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of
    revenues increased to 27% in the first nine months of 1997 from 21% in
    the first nine months of 1996, primarily due to the reasons discussed in
    the results of operations for the third quarter.

        Research and development expenses increased to $6,048,000 in the
    first nine months of 1997 from $5,456,000 in the first nine months of
    1996, primarily due to the reasons discussed in the results of operations
    for the third quarter.

        Interest income increased to $4,489,000 in the first nine months of
    1997 from $3,990,000 in the first nine months of 1996. Interest expense
    increased to $1,347,000 in the first nine months of 1997 from $66,000 in
    the first nine months of 1996. These increases were primarily due to the
    reasons discussed in the results of operations for the third quarter.

        The effective tax rates were 39% and 37% in the first nine months of
    1997 and 1996, respectively. The effective tax rates exceeded the
    statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of state
    income taxes. The effective tax rate increased in 1997 due to the full
    utilization of certain state tax loss carryforwards in 1996.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Consolidated working capital was $122,162,000 at September 27, 1997,
    compared with $65,328,000 at December 28, 1996. Cash, cash equivalents,
    and short- and long-term available-for-sale investments were $124,854,000
    at September 27, 1997, compared with $81,532,000 at December 28, 1996.
    During the first nine months of 1997, $8,851,000 of cash was provided by
    operating activities. Cash of $2,447,000 was provided by an increase in
    other current liabilities. This increase was offset in part by $2,086,000
    used to fund an increase in inventories primarily due to increased
    production of the electric LVAS.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

        Excluding available-for-sale investments activity, the Company's
    investing activities primarily consisted of capital additions. During the
    first nine months of 1997, the Company expended $1,817,000 on purchases
    of property, plant, and equipment. During the remainder of 1997, the
    Company expects to make capital expenditures of approximately $750,000,
    principally for manufacturing and tooling equipment and leasehold
    improvements.

        During the first nine months of 1997, the Company's financing
    activities provided $36,029,000 of cash. In May 1997, the Company issued
    and sold at par $70,000,000 principal amount of 4 3/4% subordinated
    convertible debentures due 2004 for net proceeds of $68.0 million
    (Note 3). Through a series of actions commencing in August 1996, the
    Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase through
    various dates ending in June 1998, of up to $50.0 million of its own
    securities in the open market, or in negotiated transactions. Any
    repurchases under the Company's authorizations are funded from working
    capital. Through September 27, 1997, the Company had expended $38,430,000
    under these authorizations, of which $32,765,000 was expended in the
    first nine months of 1997.

        The Company believes that it has adequate resources to meet its
    financial needs for the foreseeable future.
