                          RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)     Organization  and  Basis  of  Presentation
        ------------------------------------------

     ResMed Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1994 as
a  holding  company  for  ResMed  Group.  The  Company designs, manufactures and
markets  devices for the evaluation and treatment of sleep disordered breathing,
primarily  obstructive  sleep  apnea.  The  Company's  principal  manufacturing
operations  are  located  in  Australia.  Other principal distribution and sales
sites  are  located  in  the  United  States,  the United Kingdom, Singapore and
Europe.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been  prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10  of  Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and  footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of  normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1999
are  not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended  June  30,  2000.

(2)     Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies
        ----------------------------------------------

(a)     Basis  of  Consolidation:
        ------------------------

     The  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and  its  wholly  owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions
and  balances  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.

(b)     Revenue  Recognition:
        --------------------

     Revenue  on  product  sales  is  recorded at the time of shipment.  Royalty
revenue  from  license  agreements  is  recorded  when  earned.  Service revenue
received  in advance from service contracts is initially deferred and recognized
as  revenue  over  the  life  of  the  service  contract.  Revenue  from sale of
marketing  and  distribution  rights  is  initially  deferred  and progressively
recognized  as  revenue  over  the period of expected benefits but not exceeding
three  years.

(c)     Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents:
        ----------------------------

     Cash  equivalents  include  certificates  of deposit, commercial paper, and
other  highly  liquid  investments  stated  at  cost, which approximates market.
Investments  with  original  maturities  of 90 days or less are considered to be
cash  equivalents  for  purposes  of  the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(d)     Inventories:
        -----------

     Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the
first-in,  first-out  method,  or  net  realizable  value.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(2)     Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies,  Continued
        ----------------------------------------------------------

(e)     Property,  Plant  and  Equipment:
        --------------------------------

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation expense is
computed  using  the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 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)     Goodwill
        --------

     Goodwill arising from business acquisitions is amortized on a straight-line
basis over periods ranging from three to 15 years.  The Company carries goodwill
at  cost  net  of amortization.  The Company reviews its goodwill carrying value
when  events  indicate  that  an  impairment may have occurred in goodwill.  If,
based  on  the  undiscounted  cash  flows, management determines goodwill is not
recoverable,  goodwill is written down to its discounted cash flow value and the
amortization  period  is  re-assessed.

(h)     Government  Grants:
        ------------------

     Government  grants  revenue  is  recognized  when earned.  Grants have been
obtained  by  the  Company  from  the  Australian  Federal Government to support
continued  development  and  export of the Company's proprietary positive airway
pressure  technology  and  to  assist  development of export markets.  Grants of
$140,000  and  $130,000  have  been recognized for the three month periods ended
September  30,  1999  and  September  30,  1998,  respectively.

(i)     Foreign  Currency:
        -----------------

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company's  non-U.S.
subsidiaries  are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting 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 and
revenue  and  expense  transactions are translated at average exchange rates for
the  period.  Cumulative  translation  adjustments  are  recognized  as  part of
"Comprehensive Income", as described in Note 4, and are included in "Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Loss" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until such
time as the subsidiary is sold or substantially or completely liquidated.  Gains
and losses on transactions, denominated in other than the functional currency of
the  entity,  are  reflected  in  operations.

(2)     Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies,  Continued
        ----------------------------------------------------------

(j)     Research  and  Development:
        --------------------------

     All  research  and  development  costs are expensed in the period incurred.

(k)     Earnings  Per  Share:
        --------------------

     The  weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share was
14,845,000  and  14,614,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999
and  1998,  respectively.  The  difference  between basic earnings per share and
diluted  earnings  per  share is attributable to the impact of outstanding stock
options  during  the  periods  presented.  Stock  options  had  the  effect  of
increasing  the  number of shares used in the calculation (by application of the
treasury  stock  method) by 807,000 and 639,000 for the quarters and three month
periods  ended  September  30,  1999  and  1998,  respectively.

(l)     Financial  Instruments:
        ----------------------

     The  carrying  value  of  financial  instruments,  such  as  cash  and cash
equivalents,  marketable  securities  - available for sale, accounts receivable,
government  grants,  foreign  currency  option  contracts  and  accounts payable
approximate  their  fair  value.  The  Company  does not hold or issue financial
instruments  for  trading  purposes.

     The  fair  value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which
the  instrument  could  be  exchanged  in  a current transaction between willing
parties.

(m)     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
protect  the Company from adverse exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net
cash  movements  resulting  from  the sales of products to foreign customers and
Australian  manufacturing  activities.  The Company enters into foreign currency
option  contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs denominated
in  principally  Australian  Dollars and Deutschmarks.  The term of such foreign
exchange  contracts  generally  do  not  exceed  three  years.

     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  in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
Unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  currency derivatives are determined based on
dealer  quoted  prices.

(2)     Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies,  Continued
        ----------------------------------------------------------

(m)     Foreign  Exchange  Risk  Management,  Continued
        -----------------------------------------------

     Foreign  currency option contracts have been purchased in part by the issue
of  put  options  to counterparties.  As a result, should foreign exchange rates
drop  below  a  specified  level, on a specific date, the Company is required to
deliver certain funds to counterparties at contracted foreign exchange rates. At
September  30,  1999  no  put  options  issued  by the Company were outstanding.

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

     The  Company  held  foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts
totaling  $124,301,000  and $62,460,000 at September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively  to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at various
dates  prior  to  December  2001.

(n)     Income  Taxes:
        -------------

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.
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.  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.

     (o)     Marketable  Securities:
             -----------------------

          Management  determines  the  appropriate  classification  of  its
investments  in  debt  and  equity  securities  at  the  time  of  purchase  and
re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.  Debt securities for
which  the  Company  does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are
classified  as available for sale.  Securities available for sale are carried at
fair  value,  with  the  unrealized  gains  and  losses, net of tax, reported in
accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss).

          At  September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999, the Company's investments in
debt  securities  were classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
as  marketable securities-available for sale.  These investments are diversified
among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Company's investment
policy.

          The amortized cost of debt securities classified as available for sale
is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such  amortization and interest are included in interest income.  Realized gains
and losses are included in other income or expense.  The cost of securities sold
is  based  on  the  specific  identification  method.

        ----------------------------------------------------------

(p)     Warranty:
        ---------

     Estimated  future warranty costs related to certain products are charged to
operations  in  the  period  in  which  the  related  revenue  is  recognized.

(q)     Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets:
        -----------------------------------

     The  Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets
to  be  held  and  used,  including certain identifiable intangible assets, when
events  and  circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be  recovered.  Recoverability  of  assets  to be held and used is measured by a
comparison  of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment  to  be  recognized  is  measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed
of  are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

(3)     Inventories
        -----------
<TABLE>

     Inventories  were comprised of the following at September 30, 1999 and June
30,  1999  (in  thousands):

</TABLE>


(4)     Comprehensive  Income
        ---------------------

     As  of  July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  No 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which established standards
for  the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the
financial  statements.  The  only component of comprehensive income that impacts
the  Company  is  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments.  The  net  loss
associated  with  the  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1999  and  1998  was  $615,000  and  $535,000,
respectively.  The  Company  does  not  provide  for  US income taxes on foreign
currency  translation  adjustments  since  it does not provide for such taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  Accumulated other comprehensive
loss  at  September  30,  1999  and  June  30,  1999 consisted solely of foreign
currency  translation  adjustments  with debit balances of $6.0 million and $5.4
million,  respectively.

(5)     Commitments  and  contingencies
        -------------------------------

     In  January  1995,  the  Company  filed  a  complaint  in the United States
District  Court for the Southern District of California seeking monetary damages
from and injunctive relief against Respironics for alleged infringement of three
ResMed  patents.  In  February 1995, Respironics filed a complaint in the United
States  District  Court  for  the  Western  District of Pennsylvania against the
Company seeking a declaratory judgment that Respironics does not infringe claims
of  these  patents and that the Company's patents are invalid and unenforceable.
The  two  actions were combined and are proceeding in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.  In June 1996, the Company filed
an  additional complaint against Respironics for infringement of a fourth ResMed
patent, and that complaint was consolidated with the earlier action.  As of this
date,  Respironics  has  brought  three  partial  summary  judgment  motions for
non-infringement  of  the  ResMed  patents;  the  Court  has granted each of the
motions.  It  is ResMed's intention to appeal the summary judgment rulings after
a final judgment in the consolidated litigation has been entered in the District
Court  proceedings.

     In  May  1995, Respironics and its Australian distributor filed a Statement
of  Claim against the Company and Dr. Farrell in the Federal Court of Australia,
alleging  that  the Company engaged in unfair trade practices.  The Statement of
Claim asserts damage claims for lost profits on sales in the aggregate amount of
approximately $1,000,000.  While the Company is defending this action, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful or that the Company will not
be  required  to  make  significant payments to the claimants.  Furthermore, the
Company is incurring ongoing legal costs in defending this action, as well as in
the  continuing  litigation  of  its  patent  cases.

Net  Revenues

Net  revenues  increased  for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $25.9
million  from  $19.2  million  for the three months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase  of  $6.7  million  or  35%.  The increase in net revenues is primarily
attributable  to  an increase in unit sales of the Company's flow generators and
accessories  in  both domestic and international markets.  Net revenues in North
and  Latin America increased to $14.8 million from $11.9 million for the quarter
and  in  Europe  increased  to  $8.3  million from $5.8 million for the quarter.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $17.7
million  from  $13.2  million  for the three months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase  of  $4.5 million or 35%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
for  the  quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 68% consistent with the September
30,  1998  quarter.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999 to $8.4 million from $6.4 million for the three months
ended  September  30, 1998, an increase of $2.0 million or 32%.  As a percentage
of  net  revenues,  selling,  general  and administrative expenses for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1999 declined to 32.4% from 33.0% for the quarter
ended  September  30,  1998.  The  increase  in  gross  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses was due primarily to an increase from 169 to 227 in the
number  of  sales and administrative personnel and other expenses related to the
increase  in  Company  sales.

Research  and  Development  Expenses

Research and development expenses increased for the three months ended September
30,  1999 to $1.9 million from $1.4 million for the three months ended September
30,  1998, an increase of approximately $460,000 or 32%.  As a percentage of net
revenues, research and development expenses for the three months ended September
30,  1999  declined  marginally to 7.3% from 7.4% for the period ended September
30, 1998.  The increase in gross research and development expenses was due to an
increase  in  charges  for  consulting  fees,  clinical  trials  and  technical
assessments  incurred  to  facilitate  development  of a number of new products.

Other  Income  (Expenses),  Net

Other  income (expenses), net increased for the three months ended September 30,
1999  to net income of $5,000, from net expense of $541,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1998.  The increase in other income (expense), net over the
three  month  period primarily reflects lower foreign currency losses, partially
offset  by  reduced  interest  income as a result of lower cash balances and one
time  charges  incurred  in  relation to the Company's successful listing on the
NYSE.

Income  Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30,
1999  increased  to  approximately  34.9% from approximately 34.1% for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1998.  The  higher  tax rate was primarily due to
increased profitability in Germany and France in which the Company incurs higher
relative  tax  rates.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

The  Company  had  cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available
for sale of approximately $17.5 million and $16.7 million, at September 30, 1999
and  June  30,  1999,  respectively.  The Company's working capital approximated
$35.9  million  and  $32.5  million,  at  September  30, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.  The  increase  in working capital primarily reflects management's
decision  to  increase inventory holdings, particularly in the US and Europe, to
support  sales  growth.

During  the  three  months  ended  September  30, 1999, the Company's operations
generated  $3.8 million cash from operations, primarily as a result of increased
profit from operations offset partially by increases in inventories and accounts
receivable.  During the three months ended September 30, 1998 approximately $4.4
million  of  cash  was  provided  by  operations.

The  Company's  capital expenditures for the three month periods ended September
30,  1999  and  1998 aggregated $2.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The
majority  of the expenditures in the three month period ended September 30, 1999
related  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 September
30,  1999  balance  sheet  reflects  net  property,  plant  and  equipment  of
approximately  $30.2 million at September 30, 1999, compared to $29.3 million at
June  30,  1999.

The  Company anticipates expending approximately $1.5 million in relation to the
roll  out  of  the  Oracle  Application  Enterprise package system and eCommerce
initiatives  over  the next six months.  These payments are to be funded through
cash  flows  from  operations.

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.

Year  2000

The  Company  conducted  a  number  of reviews of its information systems during
fiscal  1998  and  fiscal  1999,  to  identify  all  system upgrades required to
facilitate  the  growth  in  business activity. As a consequence of these review
procedures,  internal  application  systems  have been substantially upgraded in
recent  years  along  with  a  strategic  program to replace existing accounting
systems  with  the  Oracle  Applications  Enterprise  package.  The  decision to
replace  the  Company's  existing  information systems was driven by operational
requirements although, as a consequence of the Oracle implementation and upgrade
of  other  systems, the Company believes all of its information systems are Year
2000  compliant.

While  management  expects  the costs associated with Year 2000 compliance to be
approximately  $100,000,  the global cost of implementing the Oracle Application
Enterprise  package  once completed is estimated to be approximately $3,000,000.

The Company has completed a review of its product lines for Year 2000 compliance
and,  as  a  result  of  this review, believes there is no significant Year 2000
exposure  with  regards  to  the  Company's  products.

In addition to risks associated with the Company's internal computer system, the
Company  is potentially vulnerable to the failure of third parties to adequately
address their Year 2000 issues.  ResMed continues to assess the readiness of key
third  parties  by  monitoring  such parties' readiness statements.  Significant
third parties with which the Company interfaces include, among others, customers
and  business  partners,  technology  suppliers  and  service  providers and the
utility  infrastructure  (power,  transport,  telecommunications)  on  which all
entities  rely.  The most likely worst case scenario is that a lack of readiness
by  these  third  parties  would  expose  the Company to the potential for loss,
impairment  of  business  process  and  activities and general disruption of its
markets.  ResMed  is  in  the  process  of  obtaining  assurances from its major
suppliers  that  they  are  addressing this issue and that products purchased by
ResMed  will function properly in the Year 2000.  However, there is no assurance
that  the systems of third parties on which the Company relies will be Year 2000
ready,  or  that  any  system  failure by such parties would not have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

Beyond  the  above  review procedures, the Company is in the process of, and has
developed, a number of Year 2000 contingency plans should a Year 2000 compliance
issue  arise.  However,  there can be no assurance that customers, suppliers and
service  providers  on  which  the  Company  relies will resolve their Year 2000
issues accurately, thoroughly and on schedule. Failure to complete the Year 2000
project  by  December  31,  1999  could have a material adverse effect on future
operating  results  or  financial  condition.

Recent  Accounting  Developments

SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
(SFAS  133), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1998
and  is effective for the Company's quarter ending September 30, 2000.  SFAS 133
standardizes  the  accounting  for  derivative  instruments,  including  certain
derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts.  Under  the  standard,
entities  are  required to carry all derivative instruments in the balance sheet
at  fair  value.  The  accounting  for  changes  in the fair value (ie, gains or
losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and
qualifies  as  part  of  a  hedging  relationship  and, if so, on the reason for
holding  it.  If  certain  conditions are met, entities may elect to designate a
derivative  instrument  as  a hedge of exposures to changes in fair values, cash
flows,  or foreign currencies.  If the hedged exposure is a fair value exposure,
the  gain  or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in the
period  of  change  together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item
attributable  to  the  risk being hedged.  If the hedged exposure is a cash flow
exposure, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument
is  reported  initially  as  a  component of other comprehensive income (outside
earnings)  and  subsequently  reclassified  into  earnings  when  the forecasted
transaction affects earnings.  Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness as well as the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported
in  earnings  immediately.  Accounting for foreign currency hedges is similar to
the  accounting  for  fair  value  and  cash  flow  hedges.  If  the  derivative
instrument  is  not  designated  as  a  hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in
earnings  in  the  period  of  change.

The  Company  has  not determined the impact that Statement 133 will have on its
financial statements and believes that such determination will not be meaningful
until  closer  to  the  date  of  initial  adoption.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign  Currency  Market  Risk

The  Company's  functional  currency  is  the  US  dollar  although  the Company
transacts  business  in  various  foreign currencies including a number of major
European  currencies  as  well  as  the  Australian  dollar.  The  Company  has
significant  foreign currency exposure through both its Australian manufacturing
activities  and  international  sales  operations.

The  Company  has  established  a foreign currency hedging program using foreign
currency  forward  exchange  contracts  and  purchased currency options to hedge
foreign-currency-denominated  financial  assets,  liabilities  and manufacturing
expenditure.  Under  this  program,  increases  or  decreases  in  the Company's
foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities, and firm commitments
are  partially  offset  by  gains  and  losses  on  the  hedging  instruments.

The  table  below  provides  information  about  the  Company's foreign currency
derivative  financial  instruments,  by  functional  currency  and presents such
information  in  US  dollar  equivalents.  The  table  summarizes information on
instruments  and  transactions  that  are sensitive to foreign currency exchange
rates,  specifically  foreign  currency call options held at September 30, 1999.
The  table  presents the notional amounts and weighted average exchange rates of
foreign  currency  call options by expected (contractual) maturity dates.  These
notional  amounts generally are used to calculate payments to be exchanged under
the  options.
