                            ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2000, the Consolidated
     Income Statements for the three months ended January 1, 2000 and January 2,
     1999, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months
     ended January 1, 2000 and January 2, 1999 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 October 15, 1999, the Company acquired Pinpoint Technologies, Inc. and
     Pinpoint Property Management LLC (Pinpoint individually and collectively)
     in a business combination accounted for as a pooling of interests.
     Pinpoint, which creates, develops and manufactures advanced information
     technology software, exclusively focused on the emergency medical services
     (EMS) market, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through the
     exchange of approximately 433,000 shares of the company's common stock for
     all of the outstanding stock of Pinpoint. In January 1999, Pinpoint
     distributed cash to the stockholders of Pinpoint. All of the cash
     distributed was contributed to newly formed Pinpoint Property Management
     LLC, and used to fund the equity needed to acquire an office building. The
     accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented on
     the basis that the companies were combined for all periods presented, and
     unaudited financial statements of the prior quarter has been restated to
     give effect to the combination.

     The unaudited pro forma information reflects pro forma adjustments that
     have been made to the historical results to include operating costs which
     are expected to be incurred as a result of the merger with Pinpoint and
     income tax expense, assuming that Pinpoint was a taxable entity subject to
     ZOLL's incremental tax rate. The pro forma information is presented for
     informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what would
     have occurred if the acquisition had been made as of the beginning of that
     period. In addition, the pro forma information is not intended to be a
     projection of future results.

3.   Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' unaudited
     consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period
     presentation with no impact on net income.

4.   Segment and Geographic Information

     Segment information: The Company reports information to the chief operating
     decision maker for four operating segments, determined on the type of
     customer or product. These segments include the sale of cardiac
     resuscitation devices and accessories and data collection management
     software to the North America hospital market and to the North America
     pre-hospital market, and the sale of cardiac resuscitation devices and
     accessories to the international market. Each of these segments have
     similar characteristics, manufacturing processes, customers, distribution
     and marketing strategies, as well as a similar regulatory environment.

     In order to make operating and strategic decisions, ZOLL's chief operating
     decision maker evaluates revenue performance based on the worldwide
     revenues of each segment and, due to shared infrastructures, profitability
     based on an enterprise-wide basis. Net sales by segment were as follow:

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 2,
1999

Our net sales increased 52.2% to $24,435,000 for the three months ended January
1, 2000 from $16,056,000 for the three months ended January 2, 1999. Our sales
growth was driven primarily by increasing demand for the new M-Series line of
defibrillators/pacemakers. Sales growth also reflected additional headcount in
our North America sales force. We experienced significant growth in all major
geographies and segments of our business. During the first quarter of 2000,
North American sales increased 38.7% to $19,193,000 from $13,837,000 for the
comparable period in 1999. Equipment sales to both the hospital and pre-hospital
markets increased 70.4% and 22.4%, respectively, to $10,527,000 and $4,845,000,
respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. International
sales increased 136.2% to $5,242,000 compared to $2,219,000 reflecting the
preferential allocation of the M-Series defibrillators toward the North American
market during the prior year first quarter as well as the revenue from the
initial German Army shipments under the multi-year agreement.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2000 was 55.6% compared to 59.3% for the
comparable prior year quarter. The decrease reflected volume pricing on our
large German Army contract and the change in mix of electrode sales and capital
equipment.

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 31.4%
from 33.7%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of
sales reflects leveraging from our reorganized, expanded North American sales
force as we increased sales volume. Selling and marketing expenses increased
41.7% to $7,674,000 due primarily to an increase in sales force headcount.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to
8.0% from 10.2%. The decrease in the general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales reflects the absorption of relatively fixed operating
expenses by increased sales volume.

Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 7.1%
from 10.0% reflecting primarily the significant increase in sales. Research and
development expenses increased 8.0% to $1,731,000 from $1,603,000 for the
comparable prior year quarter reflecting continued M-Series development and
other initiatives.

The effective tax rate increased from 25.5% to 37.0% for the three months ended
January 1, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. This increase primarily
related to the fact that, prior to our acquisition of Pinpoint Technologies,
Inc. in October 1999, the operating results of Pinpoint did not include any
provision for income taxes because Pinpoint operated as a Subchapter S
corporation for income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2000 totaled $1,284,000 compared
with $1,821,000 at October 2, 1999, a decrease of $537,000.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended January 1, 2000
totaled $2,000, while cash used over the same period in 1999 totaled $2,094,000.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
included the payment of approximately $880,000 of accounts payable related to
the 1999 purchase of our new Enterprise Resource Planning information technology
system from Oracle Corporation. The increase in cash provided by operations was
primarily attributable to an increase in net income and a reduction in the usage
of cash for accounts receivable. Cash used for inventories reflected an increase
in production of the M-Series defibrillators resulting from the introduction of
new features, strong product demand, and year 2000 contingency planning.

The amount of cash required to fund investing activities increased by $423,000
during the three months ended January 1, 2000 compared to the same period in
1999. The increase primarily reflected the purchase of additional capital
equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities increased by $1,006,000 during the three
months ended January 1, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This increase
was primarily due to the exercise of stock options.

We maintain a working capital line of credit with our bank. Under this working
capital line, we may borrow on a demand basis. Currently, we may borrow up to
$12,000,000 at an interest rate equal to the bank's base rate (currently 8.25%)
or LIBOR plus 2%. The outstanding balance under this line was zero at the end of
the first quarter of both fiscal 2000 and 1999.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS

The Company is involved in the normal course of its business in various
litigation matters and regulatory issues, including product recalls. Although
the Company is unable to determine at the present time the exact amount of any
impact in any pending matters, the Company believes that none of the pending
matters will have an outcome material to the financial condition or business of
the Company.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

          In the course of normal operations the Company is involved in
          litigation arising from commercial disputes and claims of former
          employees which management believes will not have a material impact on
          the Company's financial position or its results of operations.
