                                  MINIMED INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 27, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited 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 normal,  recurring  adjustments
considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial  statements
included in the Annual Report of MiniMed Inc.  (the Company)  filed on Form 10-K
with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for the year ended  December 29,
1995.  The results of  operations  for the three  months and nine  months  ended
September  27, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 27, 1996.

Note 2.  Income Taxes

         Net income and  earnings per share for the three months and nine months
ended  September  27, 1996 reflect  income taxes which have been recorded at the
Company's  estimated  effective  income  tax rate for the year.  This  estimated
income  tax rate has been  determined  by  giving  consideration  to the  pretax
earnings and losses applicable to foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions and the
estimated reduction of valuation  allowances which offset deferred tax assets of
the Company under the  provisions of FASB  Statement  No. 109,  "Accounting  for
Income  Taxes".  No provision  for income  taxes was  recorded in the  Company's
operating  results for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 1995
as its  taxable  income  for these  periods  was  offset by net  operating  loss
carryovers.

Note 3.  Weighted Average Number of Common and Common Equivalent Shares
         Outstanding

         Earnings  per common and common  equivalent  share for the three months
and nine months ended  September 27, 1996, and September 29, 1995, were computed
by dividing  net income by the  weighted  average  common and common  equivalent
shares outstanding during the periods presented, computed in accordance with the
treasury  stock method.  As required by rules  promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission,  shares, options,  warrants or convertible preferred shares
issued at prices below the initial  public  offering  price in the twelve months
prior to the initial public  offering have been included in the  calculations as
if  outstanding  using the  treasury  stock method for the three months and nine
months ended September 29, 1995.

Note 5.  Contingencies

         On June 7, 1996,  Disetronic Medical Systems,  Inc.  ("Disetronic"),  a
competitor to the Company,  filed a lawsuit in the United States  District Court
in Tampa,  Florida,  alleging that the Company and a named sales  representative
engaged in improper  sales  tactics and false and  misleading  advertising.  The
complaint was amended on June 14, 1996.  On July 1, 1996,  the Company filed its
answer to the lawsuit in which the Company  denied the  allegations  of improper
conduct.  In  addition to filing the answer,  the Company  filed a  counterclaim
against   Disetronic   alleging,   among  other  things,   that  Disetronic  has
disseminated false and misleading statements regarding the Company, its business
and its products, and has disseminated false and misleading statements about the
insulin infusion pumps Disetronic markets in the United States. Both the Company
and Disetronic, in their respective claims, seek monetary damages in unspecified
amounts and injunctive  relief. No trial date has been set and discovery has not
yet commenced. While the Company believes that the Disetronic claims are without
merit and the Company is entitled to relief on its counterclaims, because of the
preliminary  status of the  litigation,  the  Company is unable to predict  what
financial impact the lawsuit may have.
         On September 11, 1996, the Company filed a lawsuit in Superior Court of
the State of  California,  County of Los Angeles  (Case No. BC 157124),  seeking
declaratory  relief and  rescission  with  respect to a contract by which FiMed,
Inc. ("FiMed").    FiMed  was  appointed  the  Company's  exclusive  authorized 
distributor  of  certain  products  to customers  using  third  party  consumer 
financing.  The Company is claiming that it is entitled to such  relief  because
it  was fraudulently  induced by FiMed to enter into the agreement.  On or about
October 29, 1996,  FiMed  answered  the  complaint and filed  a  cross-complaint
against  the Company  alleging  breach  of contract,  promissory  fraud,  unfair
competition, intentional interference with prospective  business  relationships,
defamation (libel and slander) and abuse of  process, and is seeking damages of 
$100 million on each cause of action of the  counterclaim  and treble damages of
$300 million on the unfair competition counterclaim. Because of the  preliminary
status  of  the  litigation, the Company's  counsel  are unable  to predict the
outcome of this action.

         Net sales  increased  $3,702,000 or 33.6% during the three months ended
September 27, 1996 over the three months ended September 29, 1995 to $14,709,000
from  $11,007,000.  Net sales  increased  32.9%  during  the nine  months  ended
September 27, 1996 over the nine months ended  September 29, 1995 to $40,261,000
from  $30,297,000.  The  increase  is the result of an  increase in the sales of
external  pumps and related  disposables,  a 37.4%  increase in the three months
ended September 27, 1996 and a 34.3% increase in the nine months ended September
29,  1996 over the  comparable  periods in 1995.  These  increases  in net sales
represent a volume increase in pump and disposable  units sold, a customer shift
to more expensive disposable products offered by the Company since June 1995 and
a price  increase with the  introduction  of the model 507 external pump in June
1996.
         Included  in  international  net sales for prior  periods  are sales of
external  insulin  pumps  in  Europe  pursuant  to  a  pre-existing  contractual
arrangement with Novo Nordisk, a leading international  supplier of insulin. For
the nine-month period ended September 27, 1996, 19.0% of international  sales of
external  pumps and  related  disposables  pertained  to this  agreement,  while
approximately  50.0%  and 29.3% of  international  sales of  external  pumps and
related  disposables for the three-month and nine-month  periods ended September
29, 1995,  respectively,  related to sales under the Novo agreement. The Company
completed  its  obligations  under the  contract  with Novo  Nordisk  during the
quarter ended June 28, 1996.
         Sales of implantable pumps decreased by $204,000 during the three-month
period ended September 27, 1996 over the three-month  period ended September 29,
1995 to $352,000 from $556,000.  Implantable  pump sales were relatively  static
for the  nine-month  period ended  September 27, 1996 compared to the nine-month
period ended  September  29, 1995,  increasing to  $1,403,000  from  $1,373,000.
Business  activity for the implantable pump product line remains sporadic due to
the lack of  regulatory  approval  for this  device  in the  United  States  and
uncertainty  regarding the  availability  and  regulatory  status of the special
insulin required for the pump.
         Future  sales  of  the  Company's  implantable  insulin  pumps  may  be
adversely  affected by the  availability of the special insulin  utilized in the
implantable pumps as well as the ability to receive regulatory  approval for the
insulin, seasonality, and overall market acceptance of this product line.

         Cost of sales  increased  31.7%  during the  three-month  period  ended
September  27, 1996 over the  three-month  period  ended  September  29, 1995 to
$5,220,000 from $3,963,000.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to
35.5% in the  three-month  period  ended  September  27,  1996 from 36.0% in the
three-month  period ended  September  29, 1995.  Cost of sales  increased  27.7%
during the nine-month period ended September 27, 1996 over the nine-month period
ended  September 29, 1995 to $14,103,000  from  $11,048,000.  Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales decreased to 35.0% in the nine-month  period ended September
27, 1996 from 36.5% in the  nine-month  period ended  September  29,  1995.  The
decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the three months and nine
months  ended  September  27, 1996  compared to the same  periods in 1995 is the
result  of  continued  cost  improvements  and  economies  of scale  related  to
increased sales volume combined with decreases in the warranty  accrual due to a
better  than  expected  return  rate.  Cost of sales for the nine  months  ended
September  27, 1996  included  manufacturing  start-up  expenses  related to the
Company's release of its latest generation external insulin pump, the model 507,
in June 1996. The Company's  gross profits have been  adversely  impacted by the
implantable  pump  product  line during 1996 due to low volumes and  development
issues. The Company expects this trend to continue for the forseeable future.

Selling, General and Administrative

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased 27.1% in the
three months ended  September 27, 1996 over the three months ended September 29,
1995 to $6,156,000 from $4,842,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a  percentage  of sales  decreased to 41.9% in the  three-month  period ended
September  27, 1996 from 44.0% in the  three-month  period ended  September  29,
1995. Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased 23.3% in the nine
months ended September 27, 1996 over the nine months ended September 29, 1995 to
$17,298,000 from $14,033,000.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales decreased to 43.0% in the nine-month  period ended September
27, 1996 from 46.3% in the  nine-month  period ended  September  29, 1995.  This
reduction as a  percentage  of sales  indicates  that with  increased  sales the
Company has achieved a degree of leverage  with its fixed  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses.  The overall increase in selling expenses in the three
months and nine months  ended  September  27, 1996 over the  comparable  periods
ended  September  29, 1995 relates  primarily  to  increased  sales volume and a
corresponding increase in commission expense,  marketing expenses related to the
introduction of the Model 507 external insulin pump, increased marketing efforts
to educate  patients,  professionals  and payors in the intensive  management of
diabetes and increased  spending in international  sales and marketing  efforts.
The  international  expense  increase  is  primarily  associated  with  bringing
in-house to the Company's French  subsidiary  certain  administrative  functions
that had been previously performed by various third parties and the organization
and continuing  start-up  costs of the Company's  German  subsidiary,  which was
formed  in   December   1995.   Additionally,   the   Company  has  added  sales
representatives  and  support  staff  to  enhance  its  selling,  marketing  and
educational efforts.  General and administrative expenses increased in the three
months and nine months  ended  September  27, 1996 over the  comparable  periods
ended September 29, 1995 due to costs associated with staff increases  necessary
to support increased business volume.

Research and Development

         Research and development  expenses  decreased 11.5% in the three months
ended  September  27, 1996 over the three  months  ended  September  29, 1995 to
$1,896,000 from $1,700,000.  As a percentage of sales,  research and development
expenses  decreased to 12.9% of sales for the three months ended  September  27,
1996 from 15.4% for the three months  ended  September  29,  1995.  Research and
development expenses increased 11.8% in the nine months ended September 27, 1996
over the nine months ended September 29, 1995 to $5,671,000 from $5,074,000.  As
a percentage of sales,  research and development  expenses decreased to 14.1% of
sales for the nine  months  ended  September  27,  1996 from  16.7% for the nine
months ended  September  29, 1995.  The increases in certain of the research and
development  activities for the three and nine month periods ended September 27,
1996 compared to the relevant  periods in the prior year for the external  pumps
and  disposables  product  line was  primarily  related to expenses  incurred in
connection  with the  development  and  introduction  of the new model  external
micro-infusion  insulin pump which was released  commercially in June. Partially
offsetting  this increase were  decreases in spending  relative to the Company's
implantable  pump.  The  following  table  summarizes  the  Company's  estimated
research  and  development  expense  by product  line  based upon the  Company's
internal records:

Interest and Other

         Other income consists  primarily of interest income  generated from the
Company's increased cash and cash equivalent balances as a result of the initial
public offering.  The Company incurred  interest expense in the three months and
nine months ended September 29, 1995,  however no interest  expense was incurred
during the comparable periods in 1996 as all debt was retired in connection with
the Company's July 1995 initial public offering.
         Operating  results for the three months and nine months ended September
27, 1996 reflect  income tax expense at the Company's  estimated  effective rate
for fiscal 1996.  This effective tax has been computed giving  consideration  to
the pretax earnings and losses  applicable to the Company's foreign and domestic
tax jurisdictions and a continual decrease in the Company's  valuation allowance
against  net  deferred  tax  assets  due to  the  Company's  continued  improved
operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the nine months ended  September 27, 1996,  the Company had cash
flow used in operations of $943,000 compared to cash flow provided by operations
of  $1,207,000  in the  comparable  period in 1995.  Cash provided by operations
decreased  primarily  due to the Company's  increased  accounts  receivable  and
inventories  associated  with the new  product  launch.  The  Company's  capital
expenditures  decreased to $2,818,000 during the nine months ended September 27,
1996 compared to $6,904,000 for the nine months ended September 29, 1995,  which
decrease was attributable to the Company's purchase of its operating  facilities
in 1995.  The  Company  also is involved in certain  litigation,  the  financial
impact of which is uncertain.  See "Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements"
and "Legal Proceedings" herein.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On September 11, 1996, the Company filed a lawsuit in Superior Court of
the State of California, County of Los Angeles  (Case No.  BC  157124),  seeking
declaratory  relief and rescission with respect to a contract by which FiMed was
appointed the Company's exclusive authorized distributor for the distribution of
certain products using third party consumer  financing.  The Company is claiming
that it is entitled to such relief because it was fraudulently  induced by FiMed
to enter into the  agreement.  On or about October 29, 1996,  FiMed answered the
complaint and filed a  cross-complaint  against the Company  alleging  breach of
contract,  promissory fraud, unfair competition,  intentional  interference with
prospective business relationships,  defamation (libel and slander) and abuse of
process,  and is seeking  damages of $100 million on each cause of action of the
counterclaim  and  treble  damages of $300  million  on the  unfair  competition
counterclaim. Because of the preliminary status of the litigation, the Company's
counsel are unable to predict the outcome of this action.
