                           RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                       12

(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 December 31, 2000
and the six months ended December 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results  that  may  be  expected  for  the  year  ending  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 condensed 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.


- -6-


(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 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
$72,000  and  $139,000  have  been  recognized for the three-month periods ended
December  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively  and  $72,000 and $279,000 for the
six-month  periods  ended  December  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.

(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  "Other
comprehensive  income  (loss)",  as  described  in  Note  4, and are included in
"Accumulated  other  comprehensive  income (loss)" on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance  Sheets  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.

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

(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
31,037,000  and  29,896,000  for  the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  and  30,923,000  and  29,794,000  for the six month periods ended
December 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 2,185,000 and 1,850,000 for the
quarters  ended  December  31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and by 2,227,000 and
1,732,000  for  the  six  month  periods  ended  December  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  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
principally in 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  on  the  condensed
consolidated  balance sheets as either other assets or other liabilities and are
recorded  within  other  income,  net  on  the  Company's condensed consolidated
statements  of  income.  Unrealized gains and losses on currency derivatives are
determined  based  on  dealer  quoted  prices.

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

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

As  of  July  1,  2000  the  Company  adopted  Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities"  (SFAS  133),  as  amended,  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 December 31, 2000 was $2,164,000 which represents the fair
value  of  options  held  by  the  Company.

The  Company  held  foreign  currency  option  contracts  with  notional amounts
totaling  $250,347,000  and $171,530,000 at December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000,
respectively to hedge foreign currency items.  These contracts mature at various
dates  prior  to  July  31,  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   December    31,   2000  and  June  30, 2000,  the  Company's investments in
debt  securities were classified on the Condensed consolidated balance sheets as
marketable  securities-available  for  sale.  These  investments are diversified
among high credit quality securities in accordance with the Company's investment
policy.


- -9-

(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   products   are  accrued  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 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.

(3)     Inventories
        -----------


Inventories were comprised of the following at December 31, 2000
and June 30, 2000:

                             
(In $US thousands)  December 31,   June 30,
                            2000      2000

                    =============  ========


(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.


- -10-

(4)     Comprehensive  Income,  Continued
        ---------------------------------

The  net  gain associated  with  the  foreign  currency  translation adjustments
for  the  three  months ended December 31, 2000 was $2,669,000 compared to a net
loss  of  $281,000  for  the three months ended December 31, 1999.  The net loss
associated  with the foreign currency translation adjustments for the six months
ended  December  31,  2000 was $4,151,000 compared to a net loss of $896,000 for
the  six  months  ended  December  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  December  31,  2000  and  June  30, 2000 consisted of foreign currency
translation  adjustments  with  debit  balances  of  $17,303,000 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.


- -11-

(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
filed  in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia,
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'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
                                 OPERATION

Net  Revenue

Net  revenue  increased  for  the  three months ended December 31, 2000 to $34.4
million  from  $28.1  million,  for the three months ended December 31, 1999, an
increase  of  $6.3  million or 22%.  For the six month period ended December 31,
2000 net revenue increased to $65.4 million from $54.1 million for the six month
period  ended  December 31, 1999, an increase of $11.3 million or 21%.  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 both
domestic  and  international  markets.  Net  revenue  in North and Latin America
increased  to  $18.9  million  from  $14.9 million for the quarter, and to $36.3
million from $29.7 million for the six month periods ended December 31, 2000 and
1999  respectively.  Net  revenue  in  international  markets increased to $15.5
million  from  $13.2  million  for  the quarter, and to $29.1 million from $24.4
million  for  the  six  month  periods  ended  December  31,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.

Gross  Profit

Gross  profit  increased  for  the three months ended December 31, 2000 to $23.0
million  from  $19.5  million  for  the three months ended December 31, 1999, an
increase  of  $3.5  million or 18%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
decreased  for  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2000 to 67% from 69% for the
quarter  ended  December  31, 1999 reflecting a modest shift in the geographical
sales  mix.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2000 gross profit increased to $44.1
million  from  $37.3  million  in the same period of fiscal 2000, an increase of
$6.8  million or 18%.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased for
the  six month period ended December 31, 2000 to 67% from 69% for the six months
ended  December 31, 1999.  This decline also resulted from a modest shift in the
geographical  sales  mix.


Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased for the three months
ended  December 31, 2000 to $10.7 million from $9.0 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.7 million or 19%.  As a percentage of
net  revenue,  selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended  December 31, 2000 declined to 31.2% from 32.0% for the three months ended
December 31, 1999.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in the number of sales and administrative
personnel  and  other  expenses  related  to  the  increase  in  Company  sales.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses for the six months ended December
31,  2000 increased to $20.3 million from $17.4 million for the six months ended
December  31,  1999, an increase of $2.9 million or 17%.  As a percentage of net
revenue  selling,  general and administration expenses declined to 31.0% for the
six  months  ended December 31, 2000 from 32.2% in the six months ended December
31,  1999.


- -13-

Research  and  Development  Expenses

Research  and development expenses increased for the three months ended December
31,  2000  to $2.5 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended December
31,  1999,  an  increase  of  $534,000  or 27%.  As a percentage of net revenue,
research  and  development expenses increased to 7.3% for the three months ended
December 31, 2000 compared to 7.0% for the three months ended December 31, 1999.
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  new  products.

For  the  six  month  period  ended  December  31, 2000 research and development
expenses  increased  to  $4.9  million  from $3.9 million for the same period in
fiscal  2000,  an  increase  of  $1.0  million  or  27%.  As a percentage of net
revenue,  research  and  development  expenses was 7.5% for the six months ended
December  31,  2000 compared to 7.1% for the six months ended December 31, 1999.
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  new  products.



Other  Income  (Expense),  Net

Other  income,  net,  increased  for the three months ended December 31, 2000 to
$675,000  from  a loss of $302,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999,
an  improvement  of $977,000.  The increase in other income was due primarily to
higher  net  foreign  currency  exchange  gains.

Other  income,  net  improved  for  the  six  months  ended December 31, 2000 to
$1,556,000  from  a loss of $297,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999.
The  increase  in  other  income was attributable to higher net foreign currency
exchange  gains.


Income  Taxes

The  Company's effective income tax rate declined to approximately 34.1% for the
three  months  ended  December  31,  2000 from approximately 35.1% for the three
months  ended  December 31, 1999 and for the six month period ended December 31,
2000  declined  to  34.1% from 35.0% for the six month period ended December 31,
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

As  of  December  31,  2000  and  June  30,  2000, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents  and marketable securities available for sale of approximately $18.2
million  and  $22.0  million,  respectively.  The  Company's  working  capital
approximated  $43.3 million and $47.6 million, at December 31, 2000 and June 30,
2000,  respectively.

During  the  six  months  ended December 31, 2000, the Company generated cash of
$12.0  million  from  operations, primarily as a result of increased profit from
operations  offset  by  increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999 approximately $7.0 million of cash
was  generated  by  operations.

The  Company's capital expenditures for the six month periods ended December 31,
2000  and  1999  aggregated  $22.3  million  and $5.6 million respectively.  The
majority  of  the  expenditures  in the six month period ended December 31, 2000
related  to the purchase of land and buildings and, to a lesser extent, computer
equipment,  furniture  and  fixtures  and production tooling and equipment.  The
increase  in  expenditures  in  the  six  month  period  ended December 31, 2000
compared  to  the  six  months  ended  December  31,  1999  reflects the capital
expenditure  of  $17.2  million  on  the  company's  US  headquarters  in Poway,
California  in  July  2000.  As  a  result  of  these  capital expenditures, the
Company's  December  31,  2000  balance  sheet  reflects  net property plant and
equipment  of approximately $53.9 million at December 31, 2000 compared to $36.6
million  at  June  30,  2000.

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.

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
$20  million revolving loan facility with the Union Bank of California, of which
$15.5  million  is  available  at  December  31,  2000.

           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 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 Euros 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, 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  contracts.
