                    Independent Accountants' Review Report

Board of Directors
Respironics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Respironics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2002, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-
month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
2001.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Respironics,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended not presented herein and in our report dated July 24, 2001, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

RESPIRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

March 31, 2002


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited 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 and nine months ended
March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended June 30, 2002.  For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001.

NOTE B -- INVENTORIES

The composition of inventory is as follows:

                                     March 31      June 30
                                       2002          2001

            Finished goods           47,692,000   46,719,000
                                    -----------  -----------

                                    $66,916,000  $73,418,000
                                    ===========  ===========

NOTE C -- CONTINGENCIES

As previously disclosed, the Company is party to actions filed in a Federal
District Court in January 1995 and June 1996 in which a competitor alleges that
the Company's manufacture and sale in the United States of certain products
infringes four of the competitor's patents.  In its response to these actions,
the Company has denied the allegations and has separately sought judgment that
the claims under the patents are invalid or unenforceable and that the Company
does not infringe upon the patents.  The January 1995 and June 1996 actions have
been


consolidated. The Court has granted the Company's various motions for summary
judgment and held that the Company does not infringe any of the competitor's
four patents at issue. The competitor may seek an appeal of those decisions. In
any event, the Company intends to continue to pursue its claims that the
competitor's patents are invalid or unenforceable.

The Company is, as a normal part of its business operations, a party to other
legal proceedings in addition to those previously described by filings of the
Company.  Legal counsel has been retained for each proceeding and none of these
proceedings is expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE D -- RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In July 1999, the Company announced a major restructuring of its U.S. operations
that included facility closings and downsizings, a management realignment, and a
workforce reduction associated with those changes.  The workforce reduction
involved approximately 200 employees in areas of executive management,
manufacturing, engineering, sales and marketing, administration, and service.
The following table summarizes these restructuring charges and corresponding
expenditures.

The non-cash expenditures presented as reductions of the asset write-down
restructuring charge represent disposals of fully written-down assets, including
rationalized inventories and impairments to long-lived assets held for disposal
consisting of machinery, equipment and computer software.

Restructuring costs incurred but not yet paid have been credited to accrued
expense and asset write-downs have been credited against the applicable asset
accounts.  Substantially all of the remaining restructuring accruals as of March
31, 2002 are expected to be paid out during fiscal year 2002.

NOTE F - ACQUISITION

On April 12, 2002, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of
Novametrix Medical Systems Inc. ("Novametrix"), a leading cardiorespiratory
monitoring company that develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary state-
of-the-art noninvasive monitors, sensors, and disposable accessories.  The
acquisition of Novametrix was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of December 17, 2001, pursuant to which Respironics Holdings,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into
Novametrix (the "Merger").  The Company made this acquisition because the
Novametrix monitoring products complement the Company's therapeutic products
used in the hospital environment, the Novametrix developmental care products
complement the Company's infant management products and programs, the Novametrix
cardiac output monitoring technologies support the Company's initiatives in the
congestive heart failure area, and with the acquisition, the Company's "critical
mass" of products, revenues, profits, and assets in these markets increased.
The results of operations of Novametrix are not included in the Company's
consolidated income statements for the period ended March 31, 2002 because the
acquisition was completed after that date.

Upon consummation of the Merger, approximately 2,400,000 shares of the Company's
common stock were issued to the former stockholders of Novametrix, reflecting an
exchange ratio of .2541 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of
Novametrix common stock.  The exchange ratio was determined based on the
weighted average selling price of $31.48 for the Company's common stock for the
20 day trading period from March 11 through April 8, 2002.  Novametrix
stockholders received the Company's stock in an amount equal to $8.00 per
Novametrix share based upon the weighted average selling price.  In addition,
approximately 509,000 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options and warrants issued in replacement of
Novametrix options and warrants that were not exercised prior to the
consummation of the Merger.  As of the close of trading on April 12, 2002,
Novametrix common stock ceased to be traded on the Nasdaq National Market.

The total value of the Company's shares issued and reserved for issuance in the
transaction was approximately $81 million based on the market price of
the Company's common stock issued and reserved for issuance.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  Because the
acquisition closed subsequent to the end of the most recent quarter, the Company
is in the very early stages of the purchase price allocation and is in the
process of obtaining third party valuations of certain intangible assets;
therefore the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.

The pro forma summary below presents the Company's results of operations as if
the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented and does
not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions
been made as of those dates or of results which may occur in the future.  These
results do not include the positive impact of cost reductions and other
synergies that are expected to be realized as a result of the acquisition.

Novametrix had an April fiscal year end, which differed from the Company's June
year end, and accordingly the companies' fiscal quarters also end on different
dates. In order to develop the pro forma information above, the Company's
unaudited income statements for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 were combined with Novametrix's unaudited income statements for the nine-
month periods ended January 31, 2002 and 2001. Earnings per share data are based
on the Company's weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the
total number of the Company's common shares and equivalents delivered to
Novametrix stockholders as part of the acquisition.

NOTE G - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," ("FAS 141") and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," ("FAS 142") effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  Under the new rules, goodwill
and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements.  Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives.  The Company will apply the provisions of FAS 141 to account for
any business combination that is consummated after July 1, 2001, including the
acquisition of Novametrix described in Note F.

The Company will apply the new rules under FAS 142 on accounting for goodwill
and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003.
Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to
result in an increase in annual net income of approximately $3,000,000 or $0.08
per diluted share.  During fiscal year 2003, the Company will perform the first
of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets as of July 1, 2002.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $126,708,000
representing a 15% increase over the sales of $110,208,000 recorded for the
three months ended March 31, 2001. Increases in unit and dollar sales for the
Company's sleep apnea therapy devices (the Company's largest product line) and
oxygen concentrator devices, as well as increases in the sales of masks and
accessories, helped to drive the increase in sales for the quarter. Sales of the
Company's non-invasive ventilation devices (units used to assist patients
suffering from breathing disorders via airflow delivered through a mask) also
increased during the quarter, particularly sales of the Company's BiPAP(R)
Synchrony(TM) Ventilatory Support System, which was introduced during fiscal
year 2001. These product lines comprise the major part of the Company's homecare
product offerings. Sales of the Company's hospital products also increased
during the current quarter, particularly sales of the Company's BiPAP(R)
Vision(TM) ventilator.

     Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 were $351,501,000
representing a 15% increase over the sales of $306,820,000 recorded for the nine
months ended March 31, 2001. Increases in the Company's sleep apnea therapy
devices, oxygen concentrators, and masks and accessories as discussed above
accounted for the majority of the increase in sales, along with increased sales
of the Company's BiPAP(R) Synchrony(TM) non-invasive ventilation device and the
Company's hospital BiPAP(R) Vision(TM) ventilator.

     The Company's gross profit was 47% of net sales for the quarters and nine
months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, excluding the impact of restructuring
charges in the prior year. This static gross profit percentage reflects the
impact of higher revenue levels, offset by the impact of sales mix and selling
price decreases consistent with those decreases seen in prior years.

     General and administrative expenses were $15,398,000 (12% of net sales) for
the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $13,222,000 (12% of net sales)
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the nine-month period ended March 31,
2002, general and administrative expenses were $42,452,000 (12% of net sales) as
compared to $37,052,000 (12% of net sales) for the prior year nine-month period.
The increases in absolute dollars of general and administrative expenses for the
current quarter and nine-month periods were due primarily to increases in
spending consistent with the growth of the Company's business. The prior-year
periods also included an addition to the allowance for doubtful accounts of
$1,200,000 related to one of the Company's significant hospital distribution
customers ceasing operations.

     Sales, marketing and commission expenses were $21,119,000 (17% of net
sales) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared to


$18,640,000 (17% of net sales) for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the
nine-month period ended March 31, 2002, sales, marketing and commission expenses
were $60,175,000 (17% of net sales) as compared to $53,059,000 (17% of net
sales) for the prior year nine-month period. The increases in absolute dollars
of expense for the current quarter and nine-month periods were due primarily to
increased sales (resulting in higher commission and sales bonus expenses) and
increased sales, marketing, product support, and service activity levels across
the Company's product lines during the current year.

     Research and development expenses were $3,904,000 (3% of net sales) for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $3,745,000 (3% of net sales) for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2002,
research and development expenses were $12,206,000 (3% of net sales) as compared
to $10,843,000 (4% of net sales) for the prior year nine-month period. The
increases in absolute dollars of expense for the current quarter and nine-month
periods were due to the Company's continuing commitment to research, development
and new product introductions. During the current quarter the Company introduced
several new products including a continuous positive airway pressure ("CPAP")
sleep therapy unit called the REMstar(R) Auto, the H2 Heated Humidifier, the
latest addition to the Company's line of heated humidifiers for CPAP and bi-
level devices, and the new ComfortSelect(TM) Nasal Mask. Significant product
development efforts are ongoing and new product launches in many of the
Company's major product lines are scheduled for the next twelve to eighteen
months. Additional development work and clinical trials are being conducted in
certain product areas outside the Company's current core products, including
congestive heart failure.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred
restructuring charges of $800,000, related to a previously disclosed
restructuring. These costs were primarily for asset write-downs to reflect
decisions made regarding product, facility, and systems rationalization and
other direct expenses of the restructuring. Approximately $700,000 of these
charges related to inventory write-offs of discontinued products and have been
reported as a separate component of cost of goods sold. Also as part of the
restructuring, during the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's
Westminster, Colorado facility was sold and a gain of approximately $2,000,000
was recorded on the sale. There were no restructuring costs during the
three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002.

     The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 40% for all
periods presented.

     As a result of the factors described above, the Company's net income was
$11,316,000 (9% of net sales) or $0.36 per diluted share for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 as compared to net income of $9,313,000 (8% of net sales) or
$0.30 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the nine-month
period ended March 31, 2002, the Company's net income was $29,375,000 (8% of net
sales) or $0.94 per diluted share as compared to net income of


$23,614,000 (8% of net sales) or $0.77 per diluted share for the prior year
nine-month period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had working capital of $191,144,000 at March 31, 2002 and
$171,985,000 at June 30, 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$55,841,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $26,141,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities for the current nine-month period was primarily due to
higher earnings, reductions in inventory, and the positive impact of changes in
other operating assets and liabilities.

     Net cash used by investing activities was $23,547,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $23,438,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 2001. Cash used by investing activities for both periods include capital
expenditures, including the purchase of leasehold improvements, production
equipment, computer hardware and software, and telecommunications and office
equipment. In addition, cash used by investing activities in the periods
described includes additional purchase price paid for a previously acquired
business pursuant to the terms of that acquisition agreement. The funding for
investment activities in both periods was provided by positive cash flow from
operating activities and accumulated cash and short-term investments.

     Net cash used or provided by financing activities consists primarily of
repayments under the Company's various long-term obligations and proceeds from
the issuance of common stock under the Company's stock option plans. Net cash
used by financing activities was $10,787,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
2002 as compared to $7,883,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001.
Included in net cash used by financing activities were net debt paydowns of
$14,015,000 and $15,218,000 for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The increase in cash used by financing activities was due
primarily to a reduction in proceeds from the issuance of stock under the
Company's stock option plans compared to prior year amounts.

     The Company has contractual financial obligations and commercial financial
commitments consisting primarily of long-term debt, capital lease obligations,
and non-cancelable operating leases. The composition and nature of these
obligations and commitments have not changed materially since June 30, 2001. See
the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001 for information about these
obligations and commitments.

     The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations
and commercial commitments of the Company as of March 31, 2002:

     In connection with customer leasing programs with independent leasing
companies, the Company is contingently liable, in the event of a customer
default, to the leasing companies for certain unpaid installment receivables
transferred to the leasing companies. The total exposure for unpaid installment
receivables was approximately $18,953,000 at March 31, 2002 as compared to
$22,670,000 at June 30, 2001. The transfer of these installment receivables
meets the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment
of Liabilities," (and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment
of Liabilities," which was effective for such transfers that occurred after
March 31, 2001) and therefore, these receivables are not recorded on the
Company's financial statements.

     The Company's revolving credit agreement expires April 30, 2003. The
Company has begun discussions with several commercial banks including certain of
the banks participating in the Company's current credit facility regarding
renewing or replacing the Company's existing revolving credit agreement. The
Company expects to have a new credit agreement in place prior to the expiration
of the existing credit agreement. The amount that would be available for
borrowing under the new credit agreement has not yet been determined, but is
currently expected to be at least $125,000,000, the amount of the current
revolver.

     The Company believes that its sources of funding (consisting of projected
positive cash flow from operating activities, the availability of additional
funds under its revolving credit facility (totaling approximately $55,076,000 at
March 31, 2002), and its accumulated cash and short-term investments) will be
sufficient to meet its current and presently anticipated short-term and long-
term future needs for operating activities (including payments against
restructuring accruals), investing activities, and financing activities
(primarily consisting of scheduled payments on long-term debt).

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and
foreign exchange rates.

     Interest Rates: The Company's primary interest rate risk relates to its
long-term debt obligations. At March 31, 2002, the Company had total long-term
debt obligations, including the current portion of those obligations, of
$70,039,000. Of that amount, $1,539,000 was in fixed rate obligations and
$68,500,000 was in variable rate obligations. Assuming a 10% increase in
interest rates on the Company's variable rate obligations (i.e. an increase from
the March 31, 2002 weighted average interest rate of 2.44% to a weighted average
interest rate of 2.68%), annual interest expense


would be approximately $167,000 higher based on the March 31, 2002 outstanding
balance of variable rate obligations. The Company has no interest rate swap or
exchange agreements.

     Foreign Exchange Rates: Information relating to the sensitivity to foreign
currency exchange rate changes is omitted because foreign exchange exposure risk
has not materially changed from that disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001.


Inflation

     Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's business during
the periods discussed.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," ("FAS 141") and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," ("FAS 142") effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill
and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. The Company will apply the provisions of FAS 141 to account for
any business combination that is consummated after July 1, 2001, including the
acquisition of Novametrix described in Note F.

     The Company will apply the new rules under FAS 142 on accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2003. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is
expected to result in an increase in annual net income of approximately
$3,000,000 or $0.08 per diluted share. During fiscal year 2003, the Company will
perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite
lived intangible assets as of July 1, 2002.

     In August 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 ("FAS
143"), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued. This Statement
requires recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation in the period in which it is incurred, and a corresponding increase
in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability
is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the
liability, it is either settled for its recorded amount or a gain or loss upon
settlement is recorded. FAS 143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended
June 30, 2003. The


Company is currently assessing, but has not yet determined, the impact of FAS
143 on its financial position and results of operations.

     In August 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("FAS
144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was
issued. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supercedes FAS
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 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," for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously
defined in that Opinion). FAS 144 is effective for the Company's fiscal year
ended June 30, 2003. The Company is currently assessing, but has not yet
determined, the impact of FAS 144 on its financial position and results of
operations.
