       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 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, Asia 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 December 31, 1999
and the six months ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results  that  may  be  expected  for  the  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 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 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.
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
$139,000  and  $134,000  have  been recognized for the three-month periods ended
December  31,  1999  and  1998,  respectively  and $279,000 and $264,000 for the
six-month  periods  ended  December  31,  1999  and  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 "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
14,948,000  and  14,693,000  for  the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively,  and  14,897,000  and  14,654,000  for the six month periods ended
December 31, 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  925,000  and 893,000 for the
quarters  ended  December  31,  1999  and 1998, respectively, and by 866,000 and
766,000  for  the  six  month  periods  ended  December  31,  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  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 term 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 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.

     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  $119,025,000  and  $62,460,000 at December 31, 1999 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  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 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.

(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  December  31,  1999  was  $281,000 compared to a net gain of $1.0
million  for  the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The net loss associated
with  the  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  for the six months ended
December  31,  1999  was $896,000 compared to a net gain of $472,000 for the six
months  ended  December  31,  1998.  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  income  (loss)  at  December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 consisted
solely  of  foreign currency translation adjustments with debit balances of $6.3
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.

     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.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS
                                  OF OPERATIONS

Net  Revenue

Net  revenue  increased  for  the  three months ended December 31, 1999 to $28.1
million  from  $21.5  million  for  the three months ended December 31, 1998, an
increase  of  $6.6  million or 31%.  For the six month period ended December 31,
1999 net revenue increased to $54.1 million from $40.7  million in the six month
period  ended  December 31, 1998, an increase of $13.4 million or 33%.  Both the
three  month  and  six  month  increases  in net revenue were attributable to an
increase  in  unit  sales  of  the  Company's flow generators and accessories in
America,  Europe  and  Asia  Pacific markets.  Domestic net revenue increased to
$14.9  million  from  $12.2  million  for the quarter, and to $29.7 million from
$24.1  million  for  the  six  month  periods  ended  December 31, 1999 and 1998
respectively.  Net  revenue  in international markets increased to $13.2 million
from  $9.3  million for the quarter, and to $24.4 million from $16.6 million for
the  six  month  periods  ended  December  31,  1999  and  1998,  respectively.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for  the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $19.5
million  from  $14.5  million  for  the three months ended December 31, 1998, an
increase  of  $5.0  million or 35%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
increased  from  68%  for  the  quarter  ended  December 31, 1998 to 69% for the
quarter  ended  December  31, 1999 reflecting a modest shift in the geographical
sales  mix  as  well  as  improved  manufacturing  capacity  utilization.

For the six month period ended December 31, 1999 gross profit increased to $37.3
million  from  $27.7  million  in the same period of fiscal 1999, an increase of
$9.6  million or 35%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased for
the  six month period ended December 31, 1999 to 69% from 68% for the six months
ended December 31, 1998.  This increase also resulted from a modest shift in the
geographical  sales  mix as well as improved manufacturing capacity utilization.


Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased for the three months
ended  December  31, 1999 to $9.0 million from $6.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $2.1 million or 30%.  As a percentage of
net  revenue,  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses were 32% for the
quarters  ended  December  31,  1999  and  December  31,  1998.  The increase in
selling,  general  and  administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase
from  185  to 239 in the number of sales and administrative personnel as well as
increased  IT  costs  associated  with  the  ongoing  investment  in information
technology.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses for the six months ended December
31,  1999 increased to $17.4 million from $13.3 million for the six months ended
December  31,  1998, an increase of $4.1 million or 31%.  As a percentage of net
revenue selling, general and administration expenses declined to 32% for the six
months  ended  December  31,  1999 from 33% in the six months ended December 31,
1998.

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

Research  and  Development  Expenses

Research  and development expenses increased for the three months ended December
31,  1999  to $2.0 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended December
31,  1998,  an  increase  of  $335,000  or 20%.  As a percentage of net revenue,
research  and  development  expenses  declined  to 7% for the three months ended
December  31,  1999 compared to 8% for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
The  increase  in  gross  research and development expenses was due to increased
salaries  associated  with  an  increase  in personnel and increased charges for
consulting  fees,  clinical  trials  and  technical  assessments  incurred  to
facilitate  development  of  a  number  of  new  products

For  the  six  month  period  ended  December  31, 1999 research and development
expenses  increased  to  $3.9  million  from $3.1 million for the same period in
fiscal  1999,  an  increase  of  $0.8  million  or  26%.  As a percentage of net
revenue,  research  and  development  expenses  was  7% for the six months ended
December  31,  1999  compared  to 8% for the six months ended December 31, 1998.
The  increase  in  gross research and development expenditure for the six months
reflects  additional  costs  relating  to  development  and  evaluation  of  new
products.

Other  Income  (Expense),  Net

Other  Income  (Expense),  Net, declined for the three months ended December 31,
1999  to  a  loss  of  $302,000 from a loss of $6,000 for the three months ended
December  31,  1998,  an increased loss of $296,000.  The increased loss was due
primarily  to  higher  net  foreign  exchange  losses.

Other  Income (Expense), Net improved for the six months ended December 31, 1999
to a loss of $297,000, from a loss of $547,000 for the six months ended December
31,  1998.

Income  Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to approximately 35.1% for the
three  months  ended  December  31,  1999 from approximately 34.5% for the three
months  ended  December 31, 1998 and for the six month period ended December 31,
1999  increased  to 35.0% from 34.3% for the six month period ended December 31,
1998.  The  higher tax rate was primarily due to high relative taxes incurred in
Germany  and  France.

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

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

As  of  December  31,  1999  and  June  30,  1999, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents  and marketable securities available for sale of approximately $19.3
million  and  $16.7  million,  respectively.  The  Company's  working  capital
approximated  $41.6 million and $32.5 million, at December 31, 1999 and June 30,
1999,  respectively.  The  increase  in  working capital primarily reflects cash
generated from operations and proceeds from the exercise of stock options offset
by  capital  expenditures  on  plant  and  equipment and information technology.

During  the  six  months  ended December 31, 1999, the Company generated cash of
$7.0  million  from  operations,  primarily as a result of increased profit from
operations  offset  by  increases in inventory and receivables balances.  During
the  six  months  ended December 31, 1998 approximately $9.2 million of cash was
generated  by  operations  primarily  due  to  increased profit from operations.

The  Company's  capital expenditures for the six month period ended December 31,
1999  and  1998  aggregated  $5.6  million  and $10.7 million respectively.  The
majority  of  the  expenditures  in the six month period ended December 31, 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.  The reduction in expenditures in the six month period ended December
31,  1999  compared  to  the  six  months  ended  December 31, 1998 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  December  31,  1999  balance  sheet  reflects net
property plant and equipment of approximately $32.1 million at December 31, 1999
compared  to  $29.3  million  at  June  30,  1999.

During  the  six  month  period  ended  December  31, 1998 the Company paid $1.0
million  in business acquisition payments in relation to the 1996 acquisition of
Priess.

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  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.

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


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 consolidated
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.

     Item 3.     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  Deutschmark  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 December 31, 1999.  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.
