                          RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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  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 and nine months ended March 31,
2000  are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal  year  ending  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  on  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 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.

                          RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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  ten  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.
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
$138,000  have  been recognized for the three month period ended March 31, 1999,
and  $279,000  and  $402,000 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999,  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 "Other
Comprehensive  Income  (loss)",  as  described  in  Note  4, and are included in
"Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income (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
30,294,000  and  29,492,000  for  the  quarters  ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  and  29,975,000  and  29,398,000 for the nine month periods ended
March  31,  2000  and 1999, 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 2,259,000 and 1,969,000 for the
quarters  ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999, respectively, and by 1,894,000 and
1,494,000  for  the  nine  month  periods  ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999,
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,  accounts payable and
long-term  debt,  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 for 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  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 Euros.  The terms of such foreign exchange
contracts  generally  do  not  exceed  three  years.

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

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

     Unrealized  gains  or losses are recognized as incurred in the accompanying
balance  sheets  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  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  $144,136,000  and  $62,460,000  at  March  31, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
respectively, to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at various
dates  prior  to  December  31,  2001.

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

     The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes under the 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.

(o)     Warranty:
        ---------

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

(p)     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 undiscounted 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 exceeds 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.

</TABLE>


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

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130,  'Reporting
Comprehensive  Income',  establishes  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 March 31, 2000 was $5.7
million  compared to a net gain of $147,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999.  The net loss associated with the foreign currency translation adjustments
for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was $6.6 million compared to a net gain
of  $619,000  for  the  nine  months ended March 31, 1999.  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 March 31, 2000 and June
30,  1999  consisted  solely  of  foreign  currency translation adjustments with
balances  of  $12.0  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.  In  December  1999,  in response to the Court's ruling on Respironics'
third  summary judgment motion, the parties jointly stipulated to a dismissal of
charges  of  infringement  under the fourth ResMed patent, with ResMed reserving
the  right to reassert the charges in the event of a favorable ruling on appeal.
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.

(5)     Commitments  and  Contingencies,  Continued
        -------------------------------------------

     On  March  31,  2000,  the  Company  filed  a  lawsuit in the United States
District  Court  for  the  Southern District of California against MPV Truma and
Tiara  Medical  Systems,  Inc, seeking actual and exemplary monetary damages and
injunctive  relief  for  the  unauthorized  and  infringing use of the Company's
trademarks,  trade dress, and design patents related to its Mirage  mask design.

     While  the  Company  is  prosecuting  the  above  actions,  there can be no
assurance  that  the  Company  will  be  successful.

     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.

                          RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

Net  Revenue

Net revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $30.0 million
from  $22.8  million  for  the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of
$7.2 million or 32%.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2000 net revenue
increased  to  $84.1  million  from $63.5 million in the nine month period ended
March  31,  1999  an increase of $20.6 million or 32%.  Both the three month and
nine  month  increases  in  net revenue were attributable to an increase in unit
sales  of  the  Company's  flow  generators  and  accessories in North and Latin
America,  Europe  and the Asia Pacific.  In fiscal 2000 net revenue in North and
Latin America increased to $15.4 million from $12.4 million for the quarter, and
to  $45.1  million from $36.5 million for the nine month periods ended March 31.
In  Europe  net  revenue  increased  to  $11.2 million from $8.4 million for the
quarter,  and  to  $29.9  million  from $21.9 million for the nine month periods
ended  March  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for  the  three  months  ended March 31, 2000 to $19.8
million  from  $14.9  million  for  the  three  months  ended March 31, 1999, an
increase  of  $4.9  million or 33%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
increased  for  the  quarter  ended March 31, 2000 to 66% from 65% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.  These increases resulted primarily from a shift in
geographical  sales  mix  and  improved  manufacturing  capacity  utilization.

For  the  nine month period ended March 31, 2000 gross profit increased to $57.1
million  from  $42.5  million  in  the same period of fiscal 1999 an increase of
$14.6 million or 34%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased for
the nine month period ended March 31, 2000 to 68% from 67% achieved for the nine
months  ended  March  31,  1999.  These increases also resulted from a favorable
shift in geographical sales mix and improved manufacturing capacity utilization.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased for the three months
ended  March  31,  2000  to  $9.5 million from $6.6 million for the three months
ended  March  31,  1999,  an increase of $2.9 million or 44%.  This increase was
primarily  due  to  an  increase  from  197  to  264  in the number of sales and
administrative  personnel to support sales growth, an increase in property costs
associated  with  new  offices  in Europe as well as continuing investment in IT
activities.  As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 29% for
the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31,
2000  increased  to  $26.9  million from $19.9 million for the nine months ended
March  31,  1999,  an  increase  of $7.0 million or 35%.  As a percentage of net
revenue,  selling,  general and administration expenses increased to 32% for the
nine  months  ended  March 31, 2000 from 31% for the nine months ended March 31,
1999.

    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,
2000  to  $2.1  million  from  $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999,  an  increase  of  $600,000  or  39%.  The  increase  reflects  increased
expenditure  associated  with  new  products  currently under development.  As a
percentage  of  net  revenue,  research  and  development expenses for the three
months  ended  March  31,  2000  and  March  31,  1999,  remained  at  7%.

For  the  nine  months  ended  March  31, 2000 research and development expenses
increased  to  $6.0  million  from  $4.6 million for the corresponding period in
fiscal  1999,  an  increase  of  $1.4  million  or  30%. The increase was due to
additional  costs  relating to development and evaluation of new products.  As a
percentage  of net revenue, research and development expenses for the nine month
periods  ended  March  31,  2000  and  March  31,  1999,  remained  at  7%.

Other  Income  (Expenses),  Net

Other  income,  net  increased  for  the  three  months  ended March 31, 2000 to
$533,000  from expense of $353,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an
increase  of  $886,000.  The  increase  in  other  income,  net reflects foreign
currency gains associated with the weakening of the Australian Dollar during the
quarter.

Other  income  (expenses), net improved for the nine months ended March 31, 2000
to  a  loss  of  $380,000, from a loss of $1.6 million for the nine months ended
March  31,  1999.  The  improvement  in  other  income  (expense), net primarily
reflects  reduced  foreign currency losses associated with the Company's foreign
exchange  hedging  program.

Income  Taxes

The  Company's  effective  income  tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2000  increased  to  35.1% of income from 34.3% for the three months ended March
31,  1999  and  to  35.0%  from  34.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

                          RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

As  of  March  31,  2000  and  June  30,  1999,  the  Company  had cash and cash
equivalents  and marketable securities available for sale of approximately $24.3
million  and  $16.7  million,  respectively.  The  Company's  working  capital
approximated  $47.5  million  and  $32.5 million, at March 31, 2000 and June 30,
1999,  respectively.  The  increase  in  working  capital  primarily reflects an
increase  in  cash/marketable  securities  and management's decision to increase
inventories,  particularly  in  the  US  and Europe, to support sales growth and
launching  of  the  ResMed  S6  CPAP  range  and  Ultra  Mirage  masks.

During  the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's operations generated
$13.1  million  in  cash,  primarily  as  a  result  of  increased  profit  from
operations, partially offset by increases in inventory and receivables balances.
During  the nine months ended March 31, 1999 approximately $14.3 million of cash
was  generated  by  operations.

The  Company's  capital  expenditures  for the nine month period ended March 31,
2000  and  1999  aggregated  $8.2  million  and $17.9 million, respectively. The
majority  of  the  expenditures  in  the  nine month period ended March 31, 2000
related  to  purchases of computer software and hardware, production tooling and
equipment and, to a lesser extent, office furniture and research and development
equipment.  The  reduction  in expenditures in the nine month period ended March
31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1999 reflects the cessation
of capital expenditure on the company's new manufacturing facility following its
completion  in  March  1999.  As  a  result  of  these capital expenditures, the
Company's  March  31,  2000  balance  sheet  reflects  net  property,  plant and
equipment  of approximately $30.9 million, compared to $29.3 million at June 30,
1999.

On  January 31, 2000 the Company's fully owned Swedish subsidiary, ResMed Sweden
AB,  acquired  the business and associated assets of Einar Egnell AB its Swedish
distributor  for  $576,000 in cash.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and accordingly, the results of operations of the Einar Egnell business
have  been  included  in  the  company's  consolidated financial statements from
January  31,  2000.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net  identifiable  assets acquired of $229,000 has been recorded as goodwill and
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.  During the nine month
period  ended  March  31,  1999  the  Company  paid  $1.0  million  in  business
acquisition  payments  in  relation  to  the  1996  acquisition  of  Priess.

During  the nine month period ended March 31, 1999 the Company paid $1.0 million
to  purchase  a  minority holding in Flaga Hf, the Iceland based manufacturer of
the  Embla  range  of  sleep  diagnostic  equipment.

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  revenue and gross profit margins from
international  operations.  The  Company  has  a  substantial  exposure  to
fluctuations  in  the  Australian  dollar  with respect to its manufacturing and
research  activities which is managed through foreign currency option contracts.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent  Accounting  Developments

SFAS  No  133,  'Accounting  for  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities'
(SFAS  133), and SFAS No 137, 'Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities  -  Deferral  of  the  Effective  Date  of  FASB Statement No 133 (an
amendment  of  FASB  Statement  No 133)' were issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  in June 1998 and June 1999, respectively and are 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 statement of financial position 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.

In  December  1999,  the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin  No  101  ('SAB  101'),  'Revenue  Recognition in Financial
Statements'.  The company will be required to adopt SAB 101 in the first quarter
of  fiscal  2001.  SAB101  requires,  among other things, that license and other
up-front  fees be recognized over the term of the agreement, unless the fees are
in  exchange  for  products  delivered  or services performed that represent the
culmination of a separate earnings process.  The Company does not expect this to
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  financial  position or results of
operation.

           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 currency
options  to hedge foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities and
manufacturing  expenditure.  The goal of this hedging program is to economically
guarantee  or  lock  in  the  exchange  rates  on the Company's foreign currency
exposures   denominated   in  the   Euro   and   Australian dollar.   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,  including  foreign  currency  call  options held at March 31, 2000.  The
table  presents  the  notional  amounts  and  weighted average exchange rates by
expected  (contractual)  maturity  dates  for  the  Company's  foreign  currency
derivative  financial instruments.  These notional amounts generally are used to
calculate  payments  to  be  exchanged  under  the  contract  or  options.
