                           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 the 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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2001.

(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
          life of the contract.

     (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 ten years.  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 accumulated 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 have been recognized for the three
          month period ended September 30, 1999.

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

          The  consolidated   financial   statements  of  the  Company's  non-US
          subsidiaries  are translated  into US dollars for financial  reporting
          purposes.   Assets  and  liabilities  of  non-US   subsidiaries  whose
          functional  currencies  are other than the US 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.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(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  30,810,000  and  29,690,000  for the three  month  periods  ended
          September  30, 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 2,268,000 and 1,614,000 for the three month
          periods ended September 30, 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,
          short term debt, taxes payable 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 call foreign  currency options in managing its
          foreign exchange risk.

          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 currency option contracts
          generally do not exceed three years.

          Unrealized   gains  or  losses  are  recognized  as  incurred  in  the
          consolidated   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.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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

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

          From  July  1,  2000  the  Company  adopted   Statement  of  Financial
          Accounting  Standards No 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
          and Hedging  Activities" (SFAS 133), which standardizes the accounting
          for derivative instruments.  Under the restrictive definition of hedge
          effectiveness  contained in SFAS 133, the Company's  hedging contracts
          do not have hedge  effectiveness  and are  therefore  marked to market
          with  resulting  gains or losses being  recognized  in earnings in the
          period of change.

          The  Company  is  exposed  to  credit-related  losses  in the event of
          non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments. The credit
          exposure  of  foreign  exchange  options  at  September  30,  2000 was
          $483,000  which  represents the positive fair value of options held by
          the Company.

          The Company held  foreign  currency  option  contracts  with  notional
          amounts  totaling  $174,470,000 and $171,530,000 at September 30, 2000
          and June 30, 2000, respectively to hedge foreign currency items. These
          contracts mature at various dates prior to July 2002.


     (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, 2000 and June 30, 2000, 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.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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

     (o)  Marketable  Securities,  Continued
          ----------------------------------

          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
     -----------

          Inventories  were comprised of the following at September 30, 2000 and
          June 30, 2000 (in thousands):

(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, 2000 and 1999 was
     $6,820,000 and $615,000,  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, 2000 and June 30,
     2000  consisted  of foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  with debit
     balances of $19,972,000 and $13,152,000, respectively.

(5)  Commitments  and  Contingencies
     -------------------------------

     The Company is currently engaged in litigation  relating to the enforcement
     and defense of certain of its patents.

     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.

     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 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.

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

     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.

     In  September  2000,  the  Company  was named as a  defendant  in a qui tam
     proceeding,  brought  by a  private  citizen,  alleging  that  the  Company
     violated federal  healthcare  laws. The federal  government has declined to
     intervene in the action,  and the Company intends to vigorously  defend its
     position.

                           RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

Net  Revenue

Net  revenue  increased  for  the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $31.1
million  from  $25.9  million  for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an
increase  of  $5.2  million  or  20%.  The  increase in net revenue is primarily
attributable  to  an increase in unit sales of the Company's flow generators and
accessories  in  both  domestic and international markets.  Net revenue in North
and  Latin America increased to $17.4 million from $14.8 million for the quarter
and  in  Europe  increased  to  $9.8  million from $8.3 million for the quarter.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $21.1
million  from  $17.7  million  for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an
increase  of  $3.4  million or 19%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
for  the  quarter ended September 30, 2000 was 68% consistent with the September
30,  1999  quarter.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased for the three months
ended  September 30, 2000 to $9.6 million from $8.4 million for the three months
ended  September  30, 1999, an increase of $1.2 million or 14%.  As a percentage
of  net  revenue,  selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the three
months  ended  September  30,  2000 declined to 30.9% from 32.4% for the quarter
ended  September  30,  1999.  The  increase  in  gross  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses was due primarily to an increase 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,  2000 to $2.4 million from $1.9 million for the three months ended September
30,  1999, an increase of approximately $500,000 or 26%.  As a percentage of net
revenue,  research and development expenses for the three months ended September
30,  2000  increased  to 7.7% from 7.3% for the period ended September 30, 1999.
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,
2000  to  net  income of $881,000 from net income of $5,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999.  The increase in other income (expense), net over the
three  month  period primarily reflects foreign currency gains, partially offset
by  reduced  interest  income  as  a  result of lower cash balances and interest
expense  of  $175,000  incurred  on  short-term  debt.

     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

Income  Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30,
2000  declined  to  approximately  34.1%  from approximately 34.9% for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1999.  The lower tax rate was primarily due to the
lowering  of the corporate tax rate in Australia from 36% to 34%, effective from
July  1,  2000.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

The  Company  had  cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available
for sale of approximately $16.9 million and $22.0 million, at September 30, 2000
and  June  30,  2000,  respectively.  The Company's working capital approximated
$36.1  million  and  $47.6  million,  at  September  30, 2000 and June 30, 2000,
respectively.

On  July  7,  2000,  the  Company  purchased  the  land  and buildings of its US
headquarters in Poway, California for $17.2 million.  The purchase was funded by
a  combination  of  cash  reserves  and  an unsecured $20 million revolving loan
facility  with  the  Union  Bank  of  California.  The initial draw down on this
facility was $10.0 million.  At September 30, 2000, short-term debt totaled $7.0
million.

During  the  three  months  ended  September  30, 2000, the Company's operations
generated  $6.3 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, 1999 approximately $3.8
million  of  cash  was  provided  by  operations.

The  Company's  capital expenditures for the three month periods ended September
30,  2000  and 1999 aggregated $19.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The
majority  of the expenditures in the three month period ended September 30, 2000
related  to the purchase of land and buildings and, to a lesser extent, computer
software  and  hardware  and  production  tooling and equipment.  As a result of
these  capital  expenditures,  the  Company's  September  30, 2000 balance sheet
reflects  net  property,  plant  and equipment of approximately $51.5 million at
September  30,  2000,  compared  to  $36.6  million  at  June  30,  2000.

The  Company anticipates expending approximately $1.0 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.

The  Company  expects  to  satisfy  all of its short-term liquidity requirements
through  a  combination  of cash on hand, cash generated from operations and its
revolving  credit  facility  with  the  Union  Bank  of  California.

           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 purchased
currency  options  to  hedge  foreign-currency-denominated  financial  assets,
liabilities and manufacturing expenditures.  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 Euro's and the 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  Company  does  not  use  foreign  currency  forward  exchange  contracts or
purchased  currency  options  for  trading  purposes.

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 September 30, 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  options  contracts.
