(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, through its subsidiaries,
designs, manufactures and markets devices for the evaluation and treatment of
sleep disordered breathing, primarily obstructive sleep apnea. The Company's
manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Germany and the United
States. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States, the
United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
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, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 2003.
(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 inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from management's estimates.
(b) Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is recorded at the time of shipment and acceptance of
legal liability by third parties. Royalty revenue from license agreements is
recorded when earned. Service revenue received in advance from service contracts
is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the service
contract. Revenue received in advance from rental unit contracts is initially
deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue
from sale of marketing or distribution rights is initially deferred and
recognized ratably 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.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)
(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined principally by
the first-in, first-out method.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, including rental 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
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. As allowed under the Standard, the Company has adopted SFAS 142
effective July 1, 2001. SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives to no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for
impairment at least annually.
With the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives and
residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any necessary
amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment only, goodwill was
determined to have an indefinite useful life and no adjustments were made to the
amortization period or residual values of other intangible assets.
In accordance with SFAS 142 the Company has completed its initial assessment of
goodwill impairment. The results of the review indicated that no impaired
goodwill currently exists.

(h) Foreign Currency
The consolidated financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries,
whose functional currencies are other than U.S. dollars, 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 comprehensive income, as
described in Note 5, and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in
the 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.
(i) Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
(j) Earnings Per Share
The weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share was
32,882,000 and 31,722,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, 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 1,239,000 and 2,371,000 for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Options of 1,538,000 and nil for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively, were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect of
exercising these options would have been anti-dilutive.
(k) 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.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)
(l) 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 forward exchange contracts and 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, principally
denominated 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 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.
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, 2002 and June 30, 2002 was $1.0 million and
$2.8 million respectively, which represents the positive fair value of options
held by the Company.
The Company held foreign currency option contracts with notional amounts
totaling $132.6 million and $160.5 million at September 30, 2002 and June 30,
2002 respectively to hedge foreign currency items. These contracts mature at
various dates prior to July 2004.
(m) 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.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)
(n) 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, 2002 and June 30, 2002, 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.
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.
(o) Warranty
Estimated future warranty costs related to certain products are charged 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 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.
(q) Capitalized Software Production Costs
Software development costs have been capitalized and will be amortized to the
cost of product revenues over the estimated economic lives (generally three to
five years) of the products that include such software. Total net capitalized
software production costs were $1,378,000 and $1,132,000 at September 30, 2002
and June 30, 2002 respectively.

(3) Accounting Changes
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 146, Accounting for Restructuring
Costs. SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including
restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can
include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and
contracts, and relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under SFAS 146, a
company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value.
SFAS 146 will require a company to disclose information about its exit and
disposal activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes
to the interim and annual financial statements that include the period in which
an exit activity is initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is
completed. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS
146, a company may not restate its previously issued financial statements and
SFAS 146 grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company had
previously recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3. The Company
believes that the adoption of SFAS 146 will not have a material impact on the
results of operations, financial position and liquidity of the Company.
The FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002,
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, but may be
adopted early. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4 and SFAS 64, which required that all
gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be aggregated, and if material,
classified as an extraordinary item. As a result, gains and losses from debt
extinguishment are to be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the
criteria set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions. SFAS 145 also requires that sale-leaseback accounting be used for
capital lease modifications with economic effects similar to sale-leaseback
transactions. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS 145 early and has
classified gains from the extinguishment of debt as other income in its
Consolidated Statements of Income.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." For long-lived assets to be held and used, SFAS
144 retains the requirements of SFAS 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss
only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its
undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference
between the carrying amount and fair value. Further, SFAS 144 eliminates the
requirement to allocate goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for
impairment, describes a probability-weighted cash flow estimation approach to
deal with situations in which alternative courses of action to recover the
carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or a range is
estimated for the amount of possible future cash flows, and establishes a
"primary-asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period. For
long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g. assets abandoned,
exchanged or distributed to owners in a spin-off), SFAS 144 requires that such
assets be considered held and used until disposed.

(3) Accounting Changes, (continued)
Further, an impairment loss should be recognized at the date an asset is
exchanged for a similar productive asset or distributed to owners in a spin-off
if the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company believes that the
adoption of SFAS 144 will not have a material impact on the results of
operations, financial position and liquidity of the Company.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
As allowed under the Standard, the Company has adopted SFAS 142 effective July
1, 2001. SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives to no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at
least annually.
With the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives and
residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any necessary
amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment, only goodwill was
determined to have an indefinite useful life and no adjustments were made to the
amortization period or residual values of other intangible assets. In
accordance with SFAS 142 the Company has completed its initial assessment of
goodwill impairment. The results of the review indicated that no impaired
goodwill currently exists.
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 141, "Business Combinations".
SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a
reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement
costs would be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset and depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at
the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation
is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will
recognize a gain or loss on settlement. The provisions of SFAS 143 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The initial adoption
of SFAS 143 did not have a material impact on the results of operations,
financial position and liquidity of the Company.
(4) Inventories
Inventories were comprised of the following at September 30, 2002 and June 30,

(5) Comprehensive Income
The table below presents other comprehensive (income) loss:
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,
2002 and June 30, 2002 consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments
with net debit balances of $11.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively and
unrealized gains on securities with net credit balance of $22,000 (net of tax of
$12,000) and $105,000 (net of tax $57,000), respectively.
(6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September
30, 2002, were as follows:
Other intangible assets amounted to $2.7 million (net of accumulated
amortization of $2.0 million) and $2.7 million (net of accumulated amortization
of $1.9 million) at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. These
intangible assets consist of patents and are amortized over the estimated useful
life of the patent, generally five years. There are no expected residual values
related to these intangible assets.

(7) Stockholders' Equity
Stock Options
The Company has granted stock options to personnel, including officers and
directors, in accordance with both the 1995 Option Plan and the 1997 Equity
Participation Plan (collectively the "Plans"). These options have expiration
dates of ten years from the date of grant and vest over three years. The Company
granted these options with the exercise price equal to the market value as
determined at the date of grant.
The following table summarizes outstanding stock option plan balances as at
September 30, 2002
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plans and as all
stock options are issued at market price on date of issue, no compensation cost
has been recognized for its stock options. Had the Company determined
compensation cost under SFAS 123, the fair value at the grant date for its stock
options would have reduced the Company's net income to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
weighted average risk-free interest rates of 3.3% and 4.8% for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 and fiscal 2002 respectively; no dividend yield;
expected option lives of 3.4 years for the three months ended September 30, 2002
and 5.5 years for fiscal 2002 and volatility of 63% for the three-months ended
September 30, 2002 and 60% for fiscal 2002.
Fair Value of compensation costs by period of Grant are noted below (in
thousands except per share data):
(8) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is currently engaged in litigation relating to the enforcement and
defense of certain of its patents.
In January 1995 ResMed Limited filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of California seeking monetary damages from and
injunctive relief against Respironics, Inc. for alleged infringement of three of
its patents. In February 1995, Respironics, Inc. filed a complaint in the
United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against
ResMed Limited seeking a declaratory judgment that Respironics, Inc. does not
infringe claims of these patents and that ResMed Limited's patents are invalid
and unenforceable. The Respironics, Inc. complaint also made the University of
Sydney a party as the University of Sydney is the assignee of one of the patents
in suit; ResMed Limited is the exclusive licensee of that patent. The two
actions were combined and are proceeding in the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania. In June 1996, ResMed Limited filed an
additional complaint against Respironics, Inc. for infringement of a fourth
ResMed patent, and that complaint was consolidated with the earlier action. As
of this date, Respironics, Inc. 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, Inc.'s third summary judgment motion, the parties jointly
stipulated to a dismissal of charges of infringement under the fourth ResMed
patent, with us reserving the right to reassert the charges in the event of a
favorable ruling on appeal. It is the Company's intention to appeal the summary
judgment rulings after a final judgment in the consolidated litigation has been
entered in the District Court proceedings.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies, (continued)
On August 26, 2002, ResMed Inc., ResMed Corp. and ResMed Limited filed a lawsuit
in Federal District Court in San Diego against Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Inc
and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited ("Fisher & Paykel Healthcare"). The
ResMed complaint seeks a judgment that selected Fisher & Paykel Healthcare mask
products (ACLAIM and ACLAIM 2 masks) infringe patents held by ResMed. The
complaint further charges the defendants with the copying of ResMed proprietary
mask technology and alleges violations of the Lanham Act, trademark and trade
dress infringement and common law violations relating to the appearance of
ResMed mask products.
On October 11, 2002, ResMed Inc, ResMed Corp, and ResMed Limited filed a lawsuit
in Federal District Court in San Diego against Respironics, Inc. ResMed's suit
seeks a judgment that certain Respironics, Inc.'s mask products (Contour Deluxe,
Comfort Classic, Comfort Select, and Image3 masks) infringe patents held by
ResMed. The complaint further charges Respironics, Inc. with copying ResMed's
proprietary mask technology, and alleges violation of the Lanham Act, trademark
and trade dress infringement, and common law violations relating to the
appearance of ResMed mask products. ResMed seeks an injunction and damages.
On October 16, 2002 Respironics, Inc. filed a law suit in Federal District Court
for the Western District of Pennsylvania against ResMed Limited seeking a
declaratory judgment that Respironics, Inc. does not infringe those patents that
are the subject of ResMed's complaint filed in San Diego on October 11, 2002,
that such patents are invalid and unenforceable and that Respironics has not
committed any other trademark, trade dress or common law violations.
As a preliminary issue motions are to be argued regarding the forum in which the
Respironics, Inc. action should proceed (i.e. San Diego or Pittsburgh).
While we are prosecuting and defending, as applicable, the above actions, there
can be no assurance that we will be successful.
In addition to the matters described above, in the normal course of business,
the Company is subject to routine litigation incidental to the business. While
the results of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company
believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course litigations will not
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or
financial condition.

(9) Business Acquisitions (continued)
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
SERVO MAGNETICS, INC. (SMI). On May 14, 2002, the Company acquired all of the
common stock of Servo Magnetics Incorporated through a merger with our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Servo Magnetics Acquisition Inc., for total
consideration, including acquisition costs, of $32.6 million. Consideration
included the issue of 853,448 shares for fair value of $24.8 million with the
balance of the acquisition cost paid in cash. Upon consummation of the merger,
the surviving corporation, Servo Magnetics Acquisition Inc., changed its name to
Servo Magnetics, Inc.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the
results of operations of SMI have been included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from May 14, 2002. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of $1.9 million has been
recorded as goodwill.
Purchased in-process research and development of $350,000 was expensed upon
acquisition of SMI because technological feasibility of the products under
development had not been established and no further alternative uses existed.
The value of in-process technology was calculated by identifying research
projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been established,
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such
products, discounting the net cash flows to present value, and applying the
reduced percentage completion of the projects thereto. The discount rates used
in the analysis were 19% and were based on the risk profile of the acquired
assets.
Purchased research and development projects related to electrical motor systems
used in the company's flow generator devices and other medical and data storage
equipment. Key assumptions used in the analysis included gross margins of 34%.
As of the date of acquisition, new motor systems for use in medical and health
applications are expected to be completed and commercially available by 2004.
These projects have estimated costs to complete totaling approximately $0.5
million.
The Company believes that the assumptions used to value acquired intangible
assets noted above were reasonable at the time of acquisition. No assurance can
be given, however, that the underlying assumptions used to estimate expected
project revenues, development costs or profitability, or events associated with
such projects, will transpire as estimated. For these reasons, among others,
actual results may vary from the projected results.
LABHARDT AG. On November 15, 2001, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ResMed
International Inc. acquired all the Common Stock of Labhardt AG, its Swiss
distributor for total cash consideration including acquisition costs of $5.5
million.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the
results of operations of Labhardt AG have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from November 15, 2001. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of
$1.3 million has been recorded as goodwill.
Pro-forma financial information related to SMI and Labhardt AG are not included
as the effects would not be significant to the consolidated financial
statements.

On June 20, 2001 the Company issued $150.0 million of 4% convertible
subordinated notes that are due to mature on June 20, 2006. On July 3, 2001, the
Company received an additional $30.0 million in over allotments. This increased
the total amount of convertible subordinated notes issued to $180.0 million.
The Company may redeem some or all of the notes at any time before June 20, 2004
at a redemption price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if the closing
price of the Company's common stock has exceeded 150% of the conversion price
then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the trading day before the date of mailing of the
provisional redemption notice. Upon any such provisional redemption, the Company
will make an additional payment in cash equal to $166.67 per $1,000 principal
amount of notes, less the amount of any interest actually paid on the notes
before the provisional redemption date.
The Company may also redeem some or all of the notes at any time on or after
June 22, 2004, but prior to June 20, 2005, at a redemption price equal to 101.6%
of the principal amount of notes redeemed, and at any time after June 19, 2005,
at a redemption price of 100.8% of the principal amount of notes, plus in any
case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if the closing
price of the Company's common stock has exceeded 130% of the conversion price
then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the trading day before the date of mailing of the
optional redemption notice.
The notes are general unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of the
Company's existing and future senior indebtedness and will be effectively
subordinated to all of the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company's
subsidiaries. The indenture governing the notes does not limit the Company or
its subsidiaries from incurring senior indebtedness or other indebtedness.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002 the Company repurchased $5.0
million face value of its convertible subordinated notes. The total purchase
price of the notes was $4.6 million, including $0.1 million in accrued interest.
The Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million, net of tax, on these
transactions.
During fiscal 2002, the Company repurchased $56.8 million face value of its
convertible subordinated notes. The total purchase price of the notes was $49.1
million, including $0.6 million in accrued interest. The Company recognized a
gain of $4.0 million, net of tax of $2.5 million, on these transactions.
The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or prior
to maturity, into shares of common stock of ResMed Inc. The notes are
convertible at a conversion price of $60.60 per share, which is equal to a
conversion rate of 16.5017 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject
to adjustment.
Interest is to be paid on the notes on June 20 and December 20 of each year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
NET REVENUE
Net revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $58.6
million from $46.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, an
increase of $12.5 million or 27%. Net revenue in North and Latin America
increased to $28.3 million from $21.6 million or 31% and internationally
increased to $30.3 million from $24.6 million or 23% for the same time periods.
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. Sales also benefited from a 10% appreciation of the Euro
against the US dollar and a full quarter of sales from our recently acquired
subsidiary, Servo Magnetics, Inc (SMI). Sales of flow generators for the
quarter increased by 22% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001, 20%
in North and Latin America and 24% internationally. Sales of mask systems,
motors and other accessories increased by 33%; 43% in North and Latin America;
and 22% internationally, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared
to the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $37.7
million from $30.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, an
increase of $6.9 million or 22%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was 64%, compared to 67% in the
September 30, 2001 quarter. The lower margin was predominantly attributable to
increased sales from our acquired subsidiaries, MAP and SMI, whose gross margins
are lower than the historical average margins achieved by our Company as a
whole, and to an appreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar
since the majority of our costs are incurred in Australian dollars.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 to $17.8 million from $14.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $3.5 million or 25%. As a
percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 was 30%, broadly consistent with the
percentage for the September 30, 2001 quarter of 31%. The increase in gross
selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an expansion
of selling and administration personnel associated with the growth of company
operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses increased for the three months ended September
30, 2002 to $4.4 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended September
30, 2001, an increase of $1.0 million or 31%. As a percentage of net revenue,
research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002
increased to 7.5% from 7.3% for the period ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in gross research and development expenses was due to an appreciation
of the Australian dollar against the US dollar, since our research and
development costs are primarily incurred in Australian dollars, and increased
salaries associated with an increase in personnel and increased charges for
consulting fees and technical assessments incurred to facilitate development of
new products including the recently released Mirage Vista nasal mask and S7
lightweight CPAP flow generator.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES), NET
Other income (expenses), net decreased for the three months ended September 30,
2002 to net expense of $1.5 million from net expense of $0.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in other expense, net over
the three-month period primarily reflects foreign currency losses on foreign
currency derivatives.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was approximately 31.6%, which was broadly consistent with the effective
tax rate of 32.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
available-for-sale of approximately $89.2 million and $92.8 million, at
September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company's working
capital approximated $146.3 million and $144.7 million, at September 30, 2002
and June 30, 2002, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's operations
generated cash of $8.1 million. During the three months ended September 30,
2001 approximately $11.2 million of cash was provided by operations. The
reduction in cash from operations reflects an increase in inventory balances and
a change in the timing of tax payments.
The Company's capital expenditures for the three month periods ended September
30, 2002 and 2001 aggregated $4.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The
majority of the expenditures in the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
related to payments for construction of our new manufacturing facility, a
computer disaster recovery system and acquisition of production tooling and
equipment. As a result of these capital expenditures, the Company's September
30, 2002 balance sheet reflects net property, plant and equipment of
approximately $80.1 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $79.3 million at
June 30, 2002.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and the fiscal year ended June
30, 2002, we repurchased $5.0 million and $56.8 million face value of our
convertible subordinated notes respectively. The total purchase price of the
notes repurchased during the quarter was $4.6 million, including $0.1 million in
accrued interest. We recognized a gain of $0.2 million, net of tax, on these
transactions. As at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, we had convertible
subordinated notes outstanding of $118.3 and $123.3 million respectively.

We may from time to time seek to retire our convertible subordinated notes
through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market
purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or
exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity
requirements, and our current or future contractual obligations, if any, that
may directly or indirectly apply to such transactions.
On October 2, 2001, we paid $1.4 million as final consideration associated with
the purchase of MAP on February 16, 2001. The amount has been recorded as
goodwill.
On November 15, 2001, we acquired all of the common stock of Labhardt AG, our
Swiss distributor, for total cash consideration, including acquisition costs, of
$5.5 million. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations of Labhardt AG have been included in our
consolidated financial statements from November 15, 2001. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of
$1.3 million has been recorded as goodwill.
On April 26, 2002, we settled our purchase of a 30-acre site at Norwest Business
Park, located northwest of Sydney, Australia. The acquisition cost was $23.6
million, including deferred payments of $5.7 million due in October 2002 and
$5.7 million due in April 2003. We expect the first building, a manufacturing
facility, to be completed on this site in fiscal year 2004. New research and
development and office facilities are expected to be completed in 2004. We
estimate that the building costs will be approximately $30.0 million.
On May 8, 2002, we completed a sale and leaseback transaction of our Australian
facility located at North Ryde in Sydney, Australia. The property was sold for
$18.5 million with a three-year leaseback and a further one-year option. The
profit before tax on sale of the property of $5.5 million will be amortized over
the lease period. The cash made available from the sale will be utilized for
the construction of our new facilities at Norwest Business Park also located in
Sydney, Australia.
On May 14, 2002 we acquired all of the common stock of Servo Magnetics Inc.
("SMI") for total consideration, including acquisition costs, of $32.6 million.
Consideration included the issue of 853,448 shares for fair value of $24.8
million, with the balance of the acquisition cost paid in cash. Subsequent to
the acquisition, we repaid all SMI's existing bank loans totaling $3.0 million.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the
results of operations of SMI have been included in the our consolidated
financial statements from May 14, 2002. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of $1.9 million has been
recorded as goodwill.
On June 6, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 4
million shares of our outstanding common stock. For fiscal year 2002, we
repurchased 290,047 shares at a cost of $7.9 million and during the quarter
ended September 30, 2002 we repurchased 70,300 shares at a cost of $1.9 million.
We may continue to repurchase shares of our common stock for cash in the open
market, or in negotiated or block transactions, from time to time as market and
business conditions warrant.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty
obligations, impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes, revenue
recognition and contingencies and litigation.
We state these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and
at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. The estimates are based
on the information that is currently available to us and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements:
(1) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to
make required payments, which results in bad debt expense. We determine the
adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual customer
receivables, considering customer's financial condition, credit history and
current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were
to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required.
(2) Inventory Adjustments. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market
and are determined by the first-in, first-out method. We review the components
of inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory
based on estimated future usage and sales. The likelihood of any material
inventory write-downs is dependent on changes in competitive conditions, new
product introductions by us or our competitors, or rapid changes in customer
demand.
(3) Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. We use
assumptions in establishing the carrying value, fair value and estimated lives
of our long-lived assets and goodwill. The criteria used for these evaluations
include management's estimate of the asset's continuing ability to generate
positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods
compared to the carrying value of the asset, as well as the strategic
significance of any identifiable intangible asset in our business objectives.
If assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount
by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense are based on our
estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be
used by us. Factors that would influence the likelihood of a material change in
our reported results include significant changes in the asset's ability to
generate positive cash flow, loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, a
significant decline in the economic and competitive environment on which the
asset depends, significant changes in our strategic business objectives,
utilization of the asset, and a significant change in the economic and/or
political conditions in certain countries.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)
(4) Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. Valuation allowances are established,
when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. The likelihood of a material change in our expected realization of
these assets is dependent on future taxable income, our ability to deduct tax
loss carryforwards against future taxable income, the effectiveness of our tax
planning and strategies among the various tax jurisdictions that we operate in,
and any significant changes in the tax treatment received on our business
combinations.
(5) Provision for Warranty. We provide for the estimated cost of product
warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The amount of this
provision is determined by using a financial model which takes into
consideration actual historical expenses and potential risks associated with our
different products. This financial model is then used to calculate the future
probable expenses related to warranty and the required level of the warranty
provision. Although we engage in product improvement programs and processes,
our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and costs incurred
to correct those product failures. Should actual product failure rates or
estimated costs to repair those product failures differ from our estimates,
revisions to our estimated warranty provision would be required.

FOREIGN CURRENCY MARKET RISK
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, although we transact business in
various foreign currencies including a number of major European currencies, as
well as the Australian dollar. We have significant foreign currency exposure
through both our Australian manufacturing activities and international sales
operations.
We have 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 our foreign currency exposures
denominated in Euros and the Australian dollar. Under this program, increases
or decreases in our foreign-currency-denominated financial assets, liabilities,
and firm commitments are partially offset by gains and losses on the hedging
instruments.

INTEREST RATE RISK
We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the
return on investments.
At September 30, 2002, we maintained a portion of our cash and cash equivalents
in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. We
maintain a short-term investment portfolio containing financial instruments in
which the majority of funds invested have original maturities of greater than
three months but less than twelve months. The financial instruments,
principally comprised of corporate obligations, are subject to interest rate
risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase.
A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates during the three months
ended September 30, 2002, would have resulted in approximately $0.1 million
change in pre-tax income. In addition, the value of our marketable securities
would change by approximately $0.1 million following a hypothetical 100 basis
point change in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments
in our investment portfolio.

RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RISK FACTORS
The risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations include the following:
OUR INABILITY TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN OUR MARKETS MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS. The
markets for our sleep disordered breathing (SDB) products are highly competitive
and are characterized by frequent product improvements and evolving technology.
Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to develop
innovative new products and to be the first to market with those products. The
development of innovative new products by our competitors or the discovery of
alternative treatments or potential cures for the conditions that our products
treat could result in our products becoming noncompetitive or obsolete.
Additionally, some of our competitors have greater financial, research and
development, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. The past several
years have seen a trend towards consolidation in the health care industry and in
the markets for our products. Industry consolidation could result in greater
competition if our competitors combine their resources or if our competitors are
acquired by other companies with greater resources than ours. This competition
could increase pressure on us to reduce the selling prices of our products or
could cause us to increase our spending on research and development and sales
and marketing. If we are unable to develop innovative new products, maintain
competitive pricing, and offer products that consumers perceive to be as
reliable as those of our competitors, our sales or gross margins could decrease
which would harm our business.
OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO MARKET EFFECTIVELY TO DEALERS OF HOME
HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS AND SLEEP CLINICS. We market our products primarily to
home health care dealers and to sleep clinics that diagnose obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) and other sleep disorders. We believe that home health care dealers
and sleep clinics play a significant role in determining which brand of product
a patient will use. For example, in the United States, when a physician at a
sleep clinic prescribes the use of a product, the patient typically purchases
the product from a home health care dealer. The physician may or may not
prescribe a specific brand of product. If a specific brand is prescribed, we
believe the brand prescribed depends upon the brand of product that is used in
the sleep clinic. If a specific brand is not prescribed, the home health care
dealer may recommend a specific brand. Occasionally, even if the physician
prescribes a specific brand, a home health care dealer may substitute a
competitive product for the patient. We have limited resources to market to the
more than 2,000 U.S. sleep clinics and the more than 4,000 home health care
dealer branch locations, most of which use, sell or recommend several brands of
products. In addition, home health care dealers have experienced price
pressures as government and third-party reimbursement have declined for home
care products, and home health care dealers are requiring price discounts and
longer periods of time to pay for products purchased from us. We cannot assure
you that sleep clinic physicians will continue to prescribe our products, or
that home health care dealers or patients will not substitute competing products
when a prescription specifying our products has been written. The success of our
business depends on our ability to market effectively to home health care
dealers and sleep clinics and to ensure that our products are properly marketed
and sold by these third parties.

RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
We intend to expand our marketing activities to target the population with a
predisposition to SDB as well as various medical specialists. We cannot assure
you that these marketing efforts will be successful in increasing awareness of
our products.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUPPORT OUR CONTINUED GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER. We
have experienced rapid and substantial growth. As we continue to grow, the
complexity of our operations increases, placing greater demands on our
management. Our ability to manage our growth effectively depends upon our
ability to implement and improve our financial and management information
systems on a timely basis and to effect other changes in our business.
Unexpected difficulties during expansion, the failure to attract and retain
qualified employees, the failure to successfully replace or upgrade our
management information systems, the failure to manage costs or our inability to
respond effectively to growth or plan for future expansion could cause our
growth to stop. If we fail to manage our growth, our business could suffer.
IF WE FAIL TO INTEGRATE OUR RECENT ACQUISITIONS WITH OUR OPERATIONS, OUR
BUSINESS COULD SUFFER. The integration of acquired operations requires
significant efforts from our company and the acquired entity. We may find it
difficult to integrate the operations our of acquired entities. Personnel may
leave because of the acquisition and distributors or suppliers may terminate
their arrangements with acquired entities, or demand amended terms to these
arrangements. Additionally, our management may have their attention diverted
while trying to integrate the acquisitions. This diversion or these
difficulties in integration could have an adverse impact on us. If we are not
able to successfully integrate the operations of acquired entities, we may not
realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
WE MANUFACTURE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND
SELL A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR PRODUCTS IN NON-U.S. MARKETS, SUBJECTING US TO
VARIOUS RISKS RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR OVERALL PROFITABILITY. Sales outside North and Latin America accounted for
approximately 51%, 48%, and 46% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively. We expect that sales within these areas will account
for approximately 50% of our net revenues in the foreseeable future. Our sales
outside of North America and our operations in Europe, Australia and Asia are
subject to several difficulties and risks that are separate and distinct from
those we face in our domestic operations, including:
- - fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
- - tariffs and other trade barriers;
- - compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;
- - reduction in third party payer reimbursement for our products;
- - inability to obtain import licenses;
- - changes in trade policies and in domestic and foreign tax policies;
- - possible changes in export or import restrictions; and
- - the modification or introduction of other governmental policies with
potentially adverse effects.

RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES COULD RESULT IN DECLINES IN OUR
REPORTED SALES AND EARNINGS. Since our international sales and a significant
portion of our manufacturing costs are denominated in local currencies and not
in U.S. dollars, our reported sales and earnings are subject to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. We had foreign currency transaction losses in recent
periods and may have further losses in the future. We expect that international
sales will continue to be a significant portion of our business and that a
significant portion of our manufacturing costs will continue to be denominated
in Australian dollars.
GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INSURANCE PLANS MAY NOT REIMBURSE PATIENTS FOR OUR
PRODUCTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN REDUCTIONS IN SALES OR SELLING PRICES FOR OUR
PRODUCTS. Our ability to sell our products depends in large part on the extent
to which reimbursement for the cost of our products will be available from
government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other
organizations. These third party payors are increasingly challenging the prices
charged for medical products and services. Therefore, even if a product is
approved for marketing, we cannot assure you that reimbursement will be allowed
for such product or that the reimbursement amount will be adequate or, if
adequate, will not subsequently be reduced. For example, in some markets, such
as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available
for purchase or rental of our products but is subject to constraints such as
price controls or unit sales limitations. In other markets, such as Australia
and the United Kingdom, there is currently limited or no reimbursement for
devices that treat sleep disordered breathing related respiratory conditions.
Additionally, future legislation or regulation concerning the health care
industry or third party or governmental coverage and reimbursement,
particularly, legislation or regulation limiting consumers' reimbursement rights
may harm our business. As we continue to develop new products, those products
will generally not qualify for reimbursement, if at all, until they are approved
for marketing. In the United States, we sell our products primarily to home
health care dealers and to sleep clinics. We do not file claims and bill
governmental programs and other third party payors directly for reimbursement
for our products. However, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating
to governmental reimbursement programs, particularly Medicaid and Medicare.
In particular, the federal Anti-Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly

directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the
furnishing, recommending or arranging for a good or service, for which payment
may be made under a federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. The government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the
marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us. Many
states and other countries have adopted laws similar to the federal
Anti-Kickback Law. We are also subject to other federal and state fraud laws
applicable to payment from any third party payer. These laws prohibit persons
from knowingly and willfully filing false claims or executing a scheme to
defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third party payors.
These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide information
on coverage, coding, and reimbursement of their products to persons who do bill
third party payors. Any violation of these laws and regulations could result in
civil and criminal penalties, including fines.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
COMPLYING WITH REGULATIONS IS AN EXPENSIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING PROCESS, AND ANY
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PENALTIES.
We are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulations
regarding our business activities. Failure to comply with various regulations
could result in, among other things, recalls of our products, substantial fines
and/or criminal charges against us and our employees.
PRODUCT SALES, INTRODUCTIONS OR MODIFICATIONS MAY BE DELAYED OR CANCELED AS A
RESULT OF THE FDA OR SIMILAR FOREIGN REGULATIONS, WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR SALES TO
DECLINE. Before we can market or sell a new medical device in the United
States, we must obtain FDA clearance, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming
process. We generally receive clearance from the FDA to market our products in
the United States under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act or our products are exempt from the 510(k) clearance process. We have
modified some of our 510(k) approved products without submitting new 510(k)
notices, which we do not believe were required. However, if the FDA disagrees
with us and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications for modifications to
our existing products, we may be required to stop marketing the products while
the FDA reviews the 510(k) notification. Any new product introduction or
existing product modification could be subjected to a lengthier, more rigorous
FDA examination process. For example, in certain cases we may need to conduct
clinical trials of a new product prior to submitting a 510(k) notice.
Additionally, we may be required to obtain premarket approvals for our products.
The requirements of these more rigorous processes could delay product
introductions and increase the costs associated with FDA compliance. Marketing
and sale of our products outside the United States are also subject to
regulatory clearances and approvals, and if we fail to obtain these regulatory
approvals, our sales could suffer. We cannot assure you that any new products we
develop will receive required regulatory approvals from U.S. or foreign
regulatory agencies.
OFF LABEL MARKETING OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PENALTIES.
Clearance under Section 510(k) only permits us to market our products for the
uses indicated on the labeling cleared by the FDA. We may request additional
label indications for our current products, and the FDA may deny those requests
outright, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional
indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared products as
a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that we have marketed our
products for off label use, we could be subject to fines, injunctions or other
penalties.
DISRUPTIONS IN THE SUPPLY OF COMPONENTS FROM SUPPLIERS COULD RESULT IN A
SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SALES AND PROFITABILITY. We purchase uniquely
configured components for our devices from various suppliers including some in
which we use single-source suppliers. We cannot assure you that a replacement
supplier would be able to configure its components for our devices on a timely
basis or, in the alternative, that we would be able to reconfigure our devices
to integrate the replacement part. A reduction or stoppage in supply while a
replacement supplier reconfigures its components, or while we reconfigure our
components for the replacement part, would limit our ability to manufacture our
devices, which could result in a significant reduction in sales and
profitability. We cannot assure you that our inventories would be adequate to
meet our production needs during any prolonged interruption of supply.

RESMED INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)
OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY NOT PROTECT OUR PRODUCTS, AND OUR PRODUCTS MAY
INFRINGE ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. We rely on a
combination of patents, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements to protect
our intellectual property. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to
obtain and maintain United States and foreign patent protection for our
products, their uses and our processes to preserve our trade secrets and to
operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We have a
number of pending patent applications, and we do not know whether any patents
will issue from any of these applications. We do not know whether any of the
claims in our issued patents or pending applications will provide us with any
significant protection against competitive products or otherwise be commercially
valuable. Legal standards regarding the validity of patents and the proper scope
of their claims are still evolving, and there is no consistent law or policy
regarding the valid breadth of claims. Additionally, there may be third party
patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our
products and technology which are not known to us and that block or compete with
our products.
We face the risks that:
- - third parties will infringe our intellectual property rights;
- - our non-disclosure agreements will be breached;
- - we will not have adequate remedies for infringement;
- - our trade secrets will become known to or independently developed by our
competitors; or
- - any third parties will be issued patents that may prevent the sale of our
products or require us to license and pay fees or royalties in order for us
to be able to market some of our products.
We are currently engaged in litigation relating to the enforcement and defense
of a number of our patents. Additional litigation may be necessary to enforce
patents issued to us, to protect our proprietary rights, or to defend third
party claims that we have infringed upon proprietary rights of others. The
defense and prosecution of patent claims, including these pending claims, as
well as participation in other inter-party proceedings, can be expensive and
time consuming, even in those instances in which the outcome is favorable to us.
If the outcome of any litigation or proceeding brought against us were adverse,
we could be subject to significant liabilities to third parties, could be
required to obtain licenses from third parties or could be required to cease
sales of the affected products. Additionally, the laws regarding the
enforceability of patents vary from country to country, and we cannot assure you
that any patent issues we face will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws
will provide us with consistent rights and benefits.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS THAT MAY EXCEED THE SCOPE AND AMOUNT
OF OUR INSURANCE COVERAGE, WHICH WOULD EXPOSE US TO LIABILITY FOR UNINSURED
CLAIMS. We are subject to potential product liability claims as a result of the
design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. Any product liability
claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in the increase of
our product liability insurance rates. In addition, we would have to pay any
amount awarded by a court in excess of our policy limits.

Our insurance policies have various exclusions, and thus we may be subject to a
product liability claim for which we have no insurance coverage, in which case,
we may have to pay the entire amount of any award. We cannot assure you that our
insurance coverage will be adequate or that all claims brought against us will
be covered by our insurance. Insurance varies in cost and can be difficult to
obtain, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain insurance in the
future on terms acceptable to us or at all. A successful product liability claim
brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, if any, may require us
to pay substantial amounts, which could harm our business.
OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER IF WE LOSE THE SERVICES OF KEY MEMBERS OF OUR
MANAGEMENT. We are dependent upon the continued services of key members of our
senior management and a limited number of key employees and consultants. The
loss of the services of any one of these individuals could significantly disrupt
our operations. Additionally, our future success will depend, among other
factors, on our ability to continue to hire and retain the necessary qualified
scientific, technical and managerial personnel. We compete for such personnel
with numerous other companies, academic institutions and organizations.
OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATION FOR A VARIETY OF
REASONS. Our operating results have, from time to time, fluctuated on a
quarterly basis and may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. These
fluctuations may result from a number of factors, including:
- - the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;
- - the geographic mix of product sales;
- - the success of our marketing efforts in new regions;
- - changes in third party reimbursement;
- - timing of regulatory clearances and approvals;
- - timing of orders by distributors;
- - expenditures incurred for research and development;
- - competitive pricing in different regions;
- - seasonality;
- - the cost and effect of promotional and marketing programs;
- - the effect of foreign currency transaction gains or losses; and
- - other activities of our competitors
IF A NATURAL OR MAN MADE DISASTER STRIKES OUR MANUFACTURING FACILITIES, WE WILL
BE UNABLE TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS FOR A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME AND OUR
SALES WILL DECLINE. Our facilities and the manufacturing equipment we use to
produce our products would be costly to replace and could require substantial
lead time to repair or replace. The facilities may be affected by natural or man
made disasters and in the event it was affected by a disaster, we would be
forced to rely on third party manufacturers. Although we believe we possess
adequate insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business
from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our
potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms,
or at all.

DELAWARE LAW, PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER AND OUR SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN COULD
MAKE THE ACQUISITION OF OUR COMPANY BY ANOTHER COMPANY MORE DIFFICULT.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of delaying
or preventing changes in control or management which might be beneficial to us
or our securityholders. In particular, our board of directors is divided into
three classes, serving for staggered three-year terms. Because of this
classification it will require at least two annual meetings to elect directors
constituting a majority of our board of directors.
Additionally, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000
shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without
further vote or action by the stockholders. Under our stockholder rights plan,
we have also issued purchase rights to the holders of our common stock that
entitle those holders to purchase our Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock at a discount, under certain circumstances. The rights of the holders of
our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the
rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for our common stock at a
premium over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders
of our common stock.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE THE JUDGMENTS OF U.S. COURTS AGAINST SOME OF OUR
ASSETS OR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. A substantial portion of our assets are
located outside the United States. Additionally, two of our seven directors and
three of our eight officers reside outside the United States, along with all or
a substantial portion of the assets of these persons. As a result, it may not be
possible for investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts relating to any
liabilities under U.S. securities laws against our assets, those persons or
their assets. In addition, we have been advised by our Australian counsel that
some doubt exists as to the ability of investors to pursue claims based on U.S.
securities laws against these assets or these persons in Australian courts.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures.
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent
to the date the Company completed its evaluation.
