                            ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 30, 1996

1. The Balance Sheet as of March 30, 1996, the Statements of Income for the
   three and six months ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, and the
   Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 30, 1996 and April 1,
   1995 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments,
   consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of
   results for these interim periods. The results for the interim periods are
   not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

2. On January 5, 1996, the Company made an investment in the common stock of
   Lifecor, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On April 17, 1996, an additional
   $1,000,000 investment by the Company was made in its strategic alliance with
   Lifecor, Inc. The Company's total investment is currently $2,000,000,
   representing ownership of approximately 6% of Lifecor, Inc.'s common stock.

The information contained in the interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements, included in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996
                        ---------------------------------
                  COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 1995
                  --------------------------------------------


The Company's net sales increased to $13,106,000 for the three months ended
March 30, 1996 from $11,027,000 for the three months ended April 1, 1995. Of
this increase, 58%, or $1,216,000 was due to increased domestic defibrillator
sales to the pre-hospital market as a result of new products; 63%, or $1,313,000
was due to increased sales in international markets resulting from increased
focus on international markets; and 15%, or $320,000 was due to increased
disposable electrode sales. These amounts were partially offset by a $787,000
decline in domestic hospital defibrillator sales.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 57% from 59% primarily due to
changes in the mix of products sold. Gross profit increased to $7,429,000 from
$6,522,000 due to increased sales volumes.

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 30% from
33%. Selling and marketing expenses increased 8% to $3,958,000 from $3,669,000.
Of this increase, 80%, or $230,000 was due to increased payroll related costs
and travel expenditures because of higher staffing levels in North America and
22%, or $63,000 was due to increased international selling expenditures.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9%
from 10%. General and administrative expenses increased 9% to $1,235,000 from
$1,136,000. Of this increase, 75%, or $74,000 was due to increased professional
service costs and 47%, or $47,000 was due to increased payroll related costs
associated with new hires and salary and benefit related increases. These
amounts were partially offset by a $36,000 decrease in insurance premiums.

Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 8% from
10%. Research and development expenses increased 2% to $1,113,000 from
$1,095,000.

Net investment income decreased to $64,000 from $174,000. This decrease was due
primarily to a decrease in short-term investment returns.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                         -------------------------------
                   COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 1995
                   ------------------------------------------


The Company's net sales increased to $25,437,000 for the six months ended March
30, 1996 from $21,750,000 for the six months ended April 1, 1995. Of this
increase, 70%, or $2,575,000 was due to increased domestic defibrillator sales
to the pre-hospital market; 56%, or $2,075,000 was due to increased sales in
international markets and 16%, or $597,000 was due to increased disposable
electrode sales. These amounts were partially offset by a decline in domestic
hospital defibrillator sales and lower sales volumes on product accessories.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 57% from 59% primarily due to
changes in the mix of products sold. Gross profit increased to $14,423,000 from
$12,754,000 due to increased sales volumes.

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 31% from
33%. Selling and marketing expenses increased 10% to $7,940,000 from $7,192,000.
Of this increase, 79%, or $594,000 was due to increased payroll related costs
and travel expenditures because of higher staffing levels in North America and
45%, or $334,000 was due to increased international selling expenditures. These
amounts were partially offset by a $119,000 reduction in marketing expenditures
as a result of the lower level of marketing activities in 1996 following the
introduction and release of new products in 1995.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9%
from 10%. General and administrative expenses increased 14% to $2,389,000 from
$2,089,000. Of this increase, 53%, or $160,000 was due to increased professional
service costs and 16%, or $49,000 was due to increased payroll related costs
associated with new hires and salary and benefit related increases.

Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 8% from
10%. Research and development expenses decreased 5% to $2,145,000 from
$2,253,000. The decrease was due to the substantial completion of research and
development activities related to the release of new products in 1995.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's cash and marketable securities position at March 30, 1996 was
$8,330,000 compared to $6,645,000 at September 30, 1995, an increase of
$1,685,000. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March
30, 1996 increased by $3,473,000 over the same period in 1995. This increase was
due to the Company's efforts to reduce accounts receivable and maintain stable
inventory levels.

The amount of cash required to fund investing activities was $2,906,000 higher
in the six months ended March 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in both long-term and short-term
investments, including the Company's $1,000,000 investment in the common stock
of Lifecor, Inc.

The amount of cash provided by the Company's financing activities decreased
$61,000 for the six months ended March 30, 1996 compared to the same period in
1995. This decrease was due to a reduction in excised stock options of $95,000
which was partially offset by a decrease in long term debt repayments of
$34,000.

The Company expects that the combination of the existing cash balances, funds
generated from operations and borrowings under the existing line of credit will
be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital requirements at least through
fiscal 1996.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.
                  The Company and certain officers and former officers are
                  defendants in various lawsuits, including commercial disputes
                  and certain shareholder claims. Due to the preliminary nature
                  of these lawsuits, it is not possible at this time to predict
                  the outcome of the legal actions. However, in management's
                  opinion the disposition of the lawsuits will not have a
                  material impact on the Company's financial position or its
                  results of operations.


Item 2.     Changes in Securities.
