(2)          Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies,  Continued

(d)          Inventories:

     Inventories  are  stated  at the lower of cost, determined principally by

(e)          Property,  Plant    and  Equipment:

     Property,  plant and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation expense

the  assets,  generally two to 10 years.  Assets held under capital leases are
recorded  at  the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments
or  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  asset  at  the inception of the lease. 
Amortization  expense  is  computed  using  the  straight-line method over the
shorter  of  the  estimated  useful  lives  of the assets or the period of the
related lease.  Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used
for tax purposes.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

(f)          Patents:

     The registration costs for new patents are capitalized and amortized over
the  estimated  useful life of the patent, generally five years.  In the event
of  a  patent  being  superseded,  the  unamortized  costs  are  written  off
immediately.

(g)          Government  Grants:

recognized  in  the  amount of $41,000 and $129,000 for the three month period
ended  March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively and $219,000 and $434,000 for the
nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Subsequent to
June  30, 1996 the Company ceased to qualify for the payment of grants for the
development  of  export  markets.

purposes.  Assets  and  liabilities  of non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional
currencies  are  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar  are  translated at period end
exchange  rates,  revenue  and  expense transactions are translated at average
exchange rates for the period. Cumulative translation effects are reflected in
stockholders'  equity.  Gains and losses on transactions, denominated in other
than  the  functional  currency  of  the  entity, are reflected in operations.

(i)          Research  and  Development:

(l)          Foreign  Exchange  Risk  Management:

     The  Company  enters  into various types of foreign exchange contracts in
managing its foreign exchange risk, including derivative financial instruments
encompassing  forward  exchange  contracts  and  foreign  currency  options.

     The  purpose  of  the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to

currency  option  contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs
denominated  in  principally  Australian  Dollars,  Pound  Sterling  and
Deutschmarks.    The terms of such foreign exchange contracts generally do not
exceed  three  years.

     Premiums  to enter certain foreign currency options are included in other
assets  and are amortized over the period of the agreement in the consolidated
statement  of income against other income, net.  At March 31, 1997 unamortized
premiums  amounted  to  $805,398.

     Unrealized gains or losses are recognized as incurred in the statement of
financial  position  as  either  other  assets  or  other  liabilities and are
recorded  within other income, net on the Company's consolidated statements of
income.    Unrealized  gains and losses on currency derivatives are determined
based  on  dealer  quoted  prices.

     The  Company  is  exposed  to  credit-related  losses  in  the  event  of
non-performance  by  counterparts  to  financial  instruments, but it does not
expect  any  counterparts  to  fail to meet their obligations given their high
credit  ratings.    The  credit  exposure  of  foreign  exchange  options  is
represented  by  the  fair  value of options with a positive fair value at the
reporting  date.

     At March 31, 1997 the Company held foreign currency option contracts with
notional  amounts  totaling $25,227,000 to hedge foreign currency items. These
contracts  mature  at  various  dates  prior  to  March  1999.

(m)          Income  Taxes:

     The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement 109). 
Statement  109 requires an asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.    Under  the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax
assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences
attributable  to  differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of  existing  assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred
tax  assets  and  liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply  to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.   Under Statement 109, the effect on
deferred  tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income  in  the  period  that  includes  the  enactment  date.

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

Net  Revenues

Net  revenues  increased  for  the  three months ended March 31, 1997 to $12.5
million  from  $9.4  million  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase  of  $3.1  million or 33%.  For the nine month period ended March 31,
1997  net  revenues  increased to $35.2 million from $24.0 million in the nine
month  period  ended March 31, 1996 an increase of $11.2 million or 47%.  Both
the  three  month  and  nine  month  increases  in net revenues were primarily
attributable to an increase in unit sales of the Company's flow generators and
accessories in North America and Europe.  In fiscal 1997 net revenues in North
America  increased  to  $5.4 million from $4.5 million for the quarter, and to
$14.7 million from $12.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31.  In
Europe  net  revenue  increased  to  $5.2  million  from  $3.6 million for the
quarter,  and  to  $15.8  million  from $8.0 million for the nine month period
ended  March  31,  respectively.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1997 to $7.4
million  from  $4.6  million  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $2.8 million or 60%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
increased for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to 59% from 49% in three months
ended  March 31, 1996.  These increases resulted primarily from increased unit
sales  of  higher  margin  products.

For  the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 gross profit also increased to
$20.5 million from $12.0 million in the same period of fiscal 1996 an increase
of  $8.5  million  or  71%.    Gross  profit  as  a percentage of net revenues
increased  for  the  nine  month  period  ended March 31, 1997 to 58% from 50%
achieved  for  the  nine  months  ended  March 31, 1996.  These increases also
resulted  from  increased  unit  sales  of  higher  margin products and strong
European  sales.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses increased for the three months
ended  March  31,  1997 to $4.1 million from $2.9 million for the three months
ended  March 31, 1996, an increase of $1.2 million or 40%.  As a percentage of
net  revenues,  selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to 33%
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from 31% for the three months ended March
31,  1996.  The increase in gross selling, general and administrative expenses
was  due  to  an  increase  from  90  to  103  in  the  number  of  sales  and
administrative  personnel, an increase in legal fees from $129,000 to $331,000
associated,  with  ongoing  legal  action  (refer  Part  II  Item 1) and other
expenses  related  to  the  increase  in  Company  sales.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 also increased to $12.1 million from $7.5 million for the nine months
ended  March 31, 1996, an increase of $4.6 million or 62%.  As a percentage of
net  revenues,  selling,  general and administration expenses increased to 34%
for  the  nine  months  ended March 31, 1997 from 31% in the nine months ended
March  31,  1996.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due
to  the  increase  in  the  number of sales and administrative personnel noted
above,  an  increase  in  legal  fees  from  $512,000  to $1,006,000 and other
expenses  related  to  direct  distribution  activities  in  Europe.

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

Research  and  Development  Expenses

Research  and  development expenses increased for the three months ended March
31,  1997  to  $1,065,000  from  $640,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996,  an  increase  of  $425,000  or  66%.   As a percentage of net revenues,
research  and  development  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
increased  to 9% from 7% for the period ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in
gross  research  and  development  expenses  was  due  to  an increased use of
consultants as well as increased evaluation and testing procedures incurred to
facilitate  development  of  a  number  of  new  products.

For  the  nine  month  period  ended  March  31, 1997 research and development
expenses  increased  to  $2.7  million from $2.0 million for the corresponding
period in fiscal 1996, an increase of $736,000 or 37%.  As a percentage of net
revenues,  research  and  development  expenses  remained  static for the nine
months  ended  March  31,  1997  at  8  %.  The increase in gross research and
development expenditure for the nine months reflects additional costs relating
to  development  and  evaluation  of  new  products.

Other  Income,  Net

Other  income,  net  declined  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1997 to
$614,000  from  $765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease
of  $151,000  or  20%.    A  large  proportion of this decrease arose due to a
decline  in Government grants income for the three months ended March 31, 1997
to  $41,000 from $129,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 reflecting
the  termination  of  Australian  Federal  Government  export  grants  program
effective  June  30,  1996.    This  termination  was  marginally offset by an
increase  in  both  manufacturing  and research activity for which the Company
receives  grant  revenues.

Other  income,  net increased for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.4
million,  from  $1.8  million  for  the  nine  months  ended March 31, 1996 an
increase  of  $527,000 or 29%.  The increase in other net income over the nine
month  period  for the corresponding period in fiscal 1996, primarily reflects
additional  foreign  currency gains of $1,576,000 relating to foreign currency
option  contracts.

Income  Taxes

The  Company's  effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
1997  remained  static  at approximately 33% in comparison to the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and to 32% from 30% for the nine month period then ended.
 The  150%  research  and development deduction was only available on expenses
incurred  up  to  August  20, 1996.  Subsequent to August 20, 1996 the Company
receives  a  125% deduction for research and development expenditures incurred
in  Australia,  due  to  revised  Australian  taxation  legislation.

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

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

As  of  March  31,  1997  and  June  30,  1996,  the Company had cash and cash
equivalents  and  marketable  securities  available  for sale of approximately
$27.3  million  and $23.5 million, respectively. The Company's working capital
approximated  $33.7  million and $30.5 million, at March 31, 1997 and June 30,
1996,  respectively.    The  increase in working capital balances reflects the
increase  in  cash  generated  from  operations.

During  the  nine  months  ended  March  31,  1997,  the  Company's operations
generated  $6.7  million  cash  from  operations,  primarily  as  a  result of
increased  profit  from  operations, offset partially by increases in accounts
receivable  due  to  increased  sales.  During the nine months ended March 31,
1996  approximately  $1.0  million  of  cash  was  generated  by  operations.

The  Company's  capital expenditures for the nine month period ended March 31,
1997  and  1996  aggregated  $2.7  million  and $1.0 million respectively. The
majority  of  the  expenditures in the nine month period ending March 31, 1997
relates  to purchase of computer software and hardware, production tooling and
equipment  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  office  furniture  and  research  and
development  equipment.    As  a  result  of  these  capital expenditures, the
Company's  March  31,  1997  balance  sheet  reflects  net  property plant and
equipment  of approximately $4.6 million, compared to $3.3 million at June 30,
1996.

In  addition,  during  the  nine month period ended March 31, 1997 the Company
realized  $1.2  million from the restructuring of its foreign currency options
and  paid  $1.0  million  in  business acquisition payments in relation to the
acquisition  of  Priess and the liquid silicone moulding operations of TQR Pty
Limited  in  February  1997.

The  results of the Company's international operations are affected by changes
in  exchange  rates  between  currencies.    Changes  in  exchange  rates  may
negatively  affect  the  Company's  consolidated  net  sales  and gross profit
margins  from  international  operations.   The Company is exposed to the risk
that  the  dollar-value equivalent of anticipated cash flows will be adversely
affected  by  changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company manages
this  risk  through  foreign  currency  option  contracts.

In  May  1993, the Australian Federal Government agreed to lend the Company up
to  $870,000 over a six year term. Such a loan bears no interest for the first
three  years  but  bears interest at a rate of 3.8% thereafter until maturity.
The  outstanding  principal  balance of such loan was $720,000 and $867,000 at
March  31,  1997  and  June  30,  1996,  respectively.

                        PART II     OTHER INFORMATION

Item  1.          Legal  Proceedings

     In  October  1994,  in  Australia, a patent held by ResMed was revoked on
appeal  on  grounds  that  the  patent was not entitled to claim priority to a
"provisional" application, which was filed before the inventor's publication. 
As a result of this claim, ResMed, based in part on advice from legal counsel,
at June 30, 1994 accrued approximately $300,000 for costs associated with this
patent  litigation.  On March 24, 1997 the Federal Court of Australia issued a
determination in respect to the outstanding costs which required ResMed to pay
approximately  $246,000  in  final  and  total settlement of all claims.  This
amount  is  included  in  the  $300,000  provided  and is disclosed in accrued
expenses  on  consolidated  balance  sheets.

     In January 1995, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement in
the  United  States  District  Court  against  Respironics  Inc.,  a  Delaware
registered  company.    In  response,  in  February  1995, Respironics filed a
complaint  against the Company that asserts, (i) Respironics does not infringe
the  subject  patents;  and  (ii)  that  the  subject  patents are invalid and
unenforceable.    Management  believes,  based,  in  part on advice from legal
counsel,  that  this  action  will  not  have a material adverse effect on the
operations  or  financial  position  of  the  Company.

     In May 1995, Respironics and its Australian distributor filed a statement
of  claim  against  the  Company  and  its  President  in the Federal Court of
Australia,  New South Wales District Registry.  The statement of claim alleges
that  the  Company  engaged in unfair trade practices, including misuse of the
power  afforded  by  its  Australian  patents  and dominant market position in
violation  of  the  Australian  Trade  Practices  Act.  The statement of claim
asserts  damage  claims  in  the  aggregate  amount of approximately $901,000,
constituting  lost  profit on sales.  While the Company intends to defend this
action  vigorously,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company will be
successful  in  defending such action or that the Company will not be required
to  make  significant  payments  to  the  claimants.  Furthermore, the Company
expects  to  incur  ongoing  legal  costs  in  defending  such  action.
