Retirement Savings Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Respironics, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of June 30, 2001 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplementary schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP November 21, 2001 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1 STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS RESPIRONICS, INC.

Retirement Savings Plan June 30, 2001 NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting - ------------------- The accounting records of the Respironics, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis. Valuation of Investments - ------------------------ The fair value of the Plan's investments in registered investment companies are based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the plan year. Shares of Respironics, Inc. common stock are valued at the last trade price on the last business day of the plan year. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding value, which approximates fair value. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. 4 NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued) Contributions - ------------- Employees of Respironics, Inc. (the "Company"), upon date of hire, are eligible to participate and contribute to the Plan. An employee electing to participate in the Plan (a "participant") may contribute from 1% to 15% of his or her compensation through payroll deductions. The Plan sponsor matches 100% of participant contributions up to a maximum of 3% of the participant's W-2 compensation, as defined by the Plan. The matching contribution is funded in cash among the available investment options and/or Company common stock based upon the election of each participant. Discretionary contributions may be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. The amount of the discretionary contribution shall be determined by the Board of Directors. No discretionary contributions were made during 2001 or 2000. Investments - ----------- Participants may elect to invest their salary deferral contributions in any one of the available investment funds or may split their contributions among these funds (including investments in Company stock). Individual accounts are established for each plan participant and are credited for participant and Company contributions and an allocation of earnings based on the participant's account balance. Termination and Vesting - ----------------------- With respect to Company discretionary and matching contributions, a participant vests gradually and becomes fully vested at the end of four years of credited service. Participants who terminate as a result of normal retirement, death or disability become 100% vested at that time regardless of years of credited service. Upon termination of service, participants receive their entire salary deferral contributions and the vested portion of the Company's discretionary and matching contributions through a lump-sum payment at termination or at a future date of their choosing. The remaining non-vested portion of the Company's discretionary and matching contributions are forfeited to the Company, and are available to the Company, to be utilized to offset future years' Company matching contributions. 5 NOTE B--PLAN DESCRIPTION (continued) Termination and Vesting (continued) - ----------------------- Participants may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their account without terminating employment with the Company upon reaching age 59-1/2, or under special hardship provisions. Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, it maintains the right to discontinue contributions and terminate the Plan. In the event of a termination of the Plan, each participant would become fully vested and participants' account balances would be distributed accordingly. Loans - ----- The Plan administrator may authorize a loan to a participant for an amount up to 50% of the vested account balance of the participant. The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $500, and the maximum amount varies with the participant's vested account balance, but cannot exceed $50,000. The Plan Administrator will determine a reasonable rate of interest for each loan upon consideration of the rate of interest then prevailing in the local community for similar loans, currently prime plus 1%. Loans are generally required to be repaid in five years in equal installments; however, the term of the loan may be extended if the intended use of the funds is to acquire a residence. 6 NOTE C--PLAN INVESTMENTS The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets: June 30, 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- PNC Investment Contract Fund $4,068,654 $3,834,564 Invesco Balanced Profile Fund 4,170,175 4,660,655 Blackrock Large Capital Value Equity Fund 5,509,864 4,637,358 Janus Overseas Fund 2,163,060 3,168,165 Janus Worldwide Fund 2,471,319 3,168,940 Blackrock Select Equity Fund 3,350,938 4,384,816 Invesco Dynamics Fund 2,687,436 3,355,580 Respironics, Inc.

Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. NOTE E--TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. 7 SCHEDULE H, LINE 4i--SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) RESPIRONICS, INC.
