                     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 September 30, 2002, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows for the three-month periods ended September 30, 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, 2002, 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 23, 2002, except for
Note N as to which the date is August 19, 2002, 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, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTE C -- CONTINGENCIES

On October 11, 2002, ResMed Corp., ResMed, Inc., and ResMed Ltd. (collectively,
"ResMed") filed an action in Federal District Court against the Company alleging
that its manufacture and sale of certain nasal masks infringe seven U.S. patents
(only five of which have been issued) (the "ResMed Patents"). The complaint also
alleges a number of related causes of action. In its complaint, ResMed seeks
injunctive relief, actual and punitive damages, and an award of three times
actual damages because of the Company's alleged willful infringement of the
ResMed Patents. In its answer to ResMed's complaint, the Company denied, in all
material respects, the allegations of the complaint.



On October 15, 2002, the Company filed its own Federal District Court action
against ResMed Ltd. seeking a declaratory judgment that the seven ResMed Patents
are invalid and/or unenforceable, and that the Company does not infringe the
same. The declaratory judgment action also seeks attorneys' fees as well as
relief as to the remaining allegations in the ResMed complaint.

As previously disclosed, the Company is party to actions filed in a Federal
District Court in January 1995 and June 1996 in which ResMed alleges that the
Company's manufacture and sale in the United States of certain products
infringes four of ResMed'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 ResMed's four
patents at issue. ResMed may seek an appeal of those decisions. In any event,
the Company intends to continue to pursue its claims that ResMed'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 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 23, 2002, the Company announced the relocation of several of its
smaller product lines and related support functions from the Company's Kennesaw,
Georgia plant to its Murrysville, Pennsylvania location. This relocation will
allow the Company to standardize its manufacturing support, engineering, and
marketing functions as well as improve the overall efficiency of its
manufacturing operations in Kennesaw. The relocation activities are expected to
result in non-recurring charges of approximately $6.0 million associated
primarily with severance, transition, and relocation payments. The relocation
activities are expected to take place over the next six to eight months and the
non-recurring charges will be recorded over that period.

NOTE E -- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The components of comprehensive income, net of tax, were as follows:

NOTE F -- ACQUISITIONS

On April 12, 2002, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of
100% of the outstanding common stock 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 results of operations of
Novametrix are included in the Company's consolidated income statements
beginning on the acquisition date, April 12, 2002.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the Company's results of
operations as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period
indicated and does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had
the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the
future.

                                        Three months ended

Pro forma net income per share          $             0.25

Restructuring and integration costs related to the Novametrix acquisition were
incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. Severance and related
costs of $1,647,000 for the separation of approximately 50 employees were
incurred, of which $1,336,000 was included in the purchase price for Novametrix,
and $311,000 was recorded as integration and restructuring charges. All of the
above costs are expected to be paid out during fiscal year 2003. Integration and
restructuring charges also included $1,977,000 related to eliminating and
centralizing certain corporate services functions.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company incurred additional
restructuring and integration costs related to the Novametrix acquisition.
Restructuring and integration costs of $3,165,000 were incurred primarily
related to the elimination and centralization of certain corporate services
functions and certain compensation related payments associated with the
acquisition and related integration activities.

In May 2002, the Company acquired a 60% controlling interest in Fuji, RC Co.,
Ltd. ("Fuji"), a leading provider of homecare and hospital products and services
for respiratory-impaired patients in Japan, and entered into an agreement to
purchase all of the



remaining outstanding shares of Fuji in a multiple step acquisition by December
31, 2006. The base cash purchase price for all of the outstanding shares is
approximately $12 million with provisions for additional payments to one of the
shareholders of Fuji to be made based on the operating performance of Fuji over
the next four years. These additional payments are being accrued as compensation
over the four-year period as they are earned by the shareholder during his
post-acquisition employment period. No amounts of the purchase price were
assigned to goodwill or other intangible assets since the initial purchase price
equaled the fair market value of the net assets acquired.

NOTE G - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective July 1, 2002, the Company has adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," under
which goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no
longer being amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. The
Company has performed the first of its required impairment tests with the
adoption of FASB No. 142 and has determined that no impairment exists as of July
1, 2002. 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.

Net income and earnings per share excluding amortization expense are as follows:



                                                                                Three Months Ended

In August 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 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 FASB 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). The Company adopted FASB
No. 144 on July 1, 2002. The Company believes that the impact of FASB No. 144 on
its financial position and results of operations will not be material, but the
Company will continue to evaluate the impact of FASB No. 144 throughout fiscal
year 2003.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date
of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of FASB No.



146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES REFORM ACT OF 1995.

     The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including
those contained in Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations", along with statements in other sections of
this document and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, external documents and oral presentations which are not historical
are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21B of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the
Company's present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company
cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results included in
the forward-looking statements. Those factors include, but are not limited to,
the following: foreign currency fluctuations, regulations and other factors
affecting operations and sales outside the United States including potential
future effects of the change in sovereignty of Hong Kong, customer consolidation
and concentration, increasing price competition and other competitive factors in
the sale of products, the success of the Company's marketing, sales, and
promotion programs, interest rate fluctuations, intellectual property and
related litigation, other litigation, successful integration of acquisitions,
FDA and other government regulation, anticipated levels of earnings and
revenues, and third party reimbursement.



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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $138,642,000,
representing a 29% increase over the sales of $107,409,000 recorded for the
three months ended September 30, 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. 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(R) and
Esprit(R) ventilators.

     Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2002 also included
approximately $11,823,000 of net sales for the products of Novametrix, which was
acquired by the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. Included
in the sales from Novametrix were approximately $8,215,000 of net sales for
cardiorespiratory hospital devices and approximately $3,608,000 of net sales for
developmental infant care products. Sales for the three months ended September
30, 2002 also included sales for Fuji, in which the Company obtained a majority
interest in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. The Company's results of
operations include the results of both companies since the acquisition dates.
For additional information regarding Novametrix and Fuji, see Note F to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The Company's gross profit was 49% and 47% of net sales, respectively, for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The increase in gross profit
percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the prior
year was primarily due to higher revenue and the impact of higher gross margin
from acquired entities.

     General and administrative expenses were $17,779,000 (13% of net sales) for
the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $12,909,000 (12% of net
sales) for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in absolute
dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was due in part to general
and administrative expenses for the Company's two acquired companies, Novametrix
and Fuji. The remaining increases in general and administrative expenses
resulted from higher spending in a variety of areas, such as information
systems, consistent with the growth of the Company's business.

     Sales, marketing and commission expenses were $27,217,000 (20% of net
sales) for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $19,499,000 (18%
of net sales) for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The majority of the
increase in expense for the current quarter was due to sales and marketing
expenses for the Company's



two acquired companies, Novametrix and Fuji. The remainder of the increase was
due to increased investments in the Company's core sales and marketing efforts.

     Research and development expenses were $5,484,000 (4% of net sales) for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $4,314,000 (4% of net sales) for
the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The majority of the increase in absolute
dollars for the current quarter was due to research and development expenses
incurred at Novametrix. The remaining increase in absolute dollars of expense
for the current quarter was due to the Company's continuing commitment to
research, development and new product introductions. 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 or patient
groups, including products designed to treat congestive heart failure patients
and products for patients with other sleep disorders.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company incurred
non-recurring charges for integration and restructuring costs of $3,165,000
related to the Novametrix acquisition, primarily related to the elimination and
centralization of certain corporate services functions and certain compensation
related payments associated with the acquisition and related integration
activities. See Note F to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding these non-recurring charges.

     The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 38% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 40% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001. This reduction was due primarily to the impact of
eliminating goodwill amortization effective July 1, 2002.

     As a result of the factors described above, the Company's net income was
$8,886,000 (6% of net sales) or $0.26 per diluted share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 as compared to net income of $8,102,000 (8% of net sales) or
$0.26 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Excluding the
non-recurring integration and restructuring charge described above, the
Company's net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $10,854,000
(8% of net sales) or $0.32 per diluted share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had working capital of $208,105,000 at September 30, 2002 and
$198,966,000 at June 30, 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$12,611,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to
$19,954,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in cash
provided by operating activities for the current three-month period was
primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and smaller



decreases in accounts receivable and inventory levels in the current quarter
compared to the prior year.

     Net cash used by investing activities was $10,414,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $7,711,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. Cash used by investing activities for both periods includes
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 prior
year period includes additional purchase price paid for a previously acquired
business pursuant to the terms of that acquisition agreement. In the current
fiscal year, cash used for investing activities also includes transaction costs
related to the Novametrix acquisition. The funding for investment activities in
both periods was provided by positive cash flow from operating activities and
accumulated cash and cash equivalents.

     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 $15,786,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 as compared to $2,137,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. Included in net cash used by financing activities were net
debt paydowns of $16,924,000 and $3,204,000 for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     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, 2002,
other than the new Revolving Credit Agreement described below.

     On August 19, 2002, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit
Agreement with a group of banks under which a total of $150,000,000 is available
with terms and financial covenants similar to those contained in the Company's
prior credit facility. The new Revolving Credit Agreement is also unsecured and
matures in August 2005.

     The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and

     See the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002 for information
about these obligations and commitments.



     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 within certain limits for unpaid installment
receivables initiated by or transferred to the leasing companies. The transfer
of certain of these installment receivables meets the criteria of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," and therefore are not
recorded on the Company's financial statements. The total exposure for unpaid
installment receivables meeting these criteria and not recorded on the Company's
financial statements was approximately $19,557,000 at September 30, 2002 as
compared to $18,428,000 at June 30, 2002. The transfer of the remainder of these
installment receivables (consisting of installment receivables acquired as part
of the Novametrix acquisition) does not meet the criteria of this Standard and
therefore must be recorded as collateralized borrowing arrangements.
Accordingly, at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the Company has included
$12,182,000 and $11,826,000, respectively, of receivables sold with recourse as
assets in prepaid expenses and other, and has recorded offsetting liabilities at
those dates in accrued expenses and other.

     On August 1, 2002, one of the Company's significant homecare distribution
customers announced that it filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure its bank debt.
According to the press release issued in connection with the filing, this
restructuring was announced as a "100-percent plan," meaning that creditors and
vendors are expected to receive all that they are owed, either immediately or
over time with interest. The press release also stated that the Company's
customer elected to seek court protection in order to facilitate the
restructuring of its debt while continuing to maintain normal business
operations. The Company believes that based on current available information,
the Company's reserve levels as of September 30, 2002, are adequate relative to
its receivable with this customer. The Company will continue to monitor the
situation.

     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 $101,231,000
at September 30, 2002), and its accumulated cash and cash equivalents -- 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 September 30, 2002, the Company had total
long-term debt and capital lease obligations, including the current portion of
those obligations, of $71,424,000. Of that amount, $23,424,000 was in fixed rate
obligations and $48,000,000 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 September 30, 2002 weighted average interest rate of 2.75% to
a weighted average interest rate of 3.03%), annual interest expense would be
approximately $132,000 higher based on the September 30, 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, 2002.

Inflation

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections," was issued to amend FASB No. 13 and requires sale-leaseback
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. FASB No. 145 also makes various
technical corrections to existing pronouncements that are not substantive in
nature. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FASB No. 145 will have on
its financial position and results of operations.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date
of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of FASB No. 146 are
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31,
2002, with early application encouraged.



Critical Accounting Policies

     The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which
require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the
reported financial condition and results of operations should actual results
differ. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on the best available
information and believes them to be reasonable under the circumstances. There
has been no change in the Company's critical accounting policies as disclosed in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002. In
addition, no new critical accounting policies have been adopted in the first
three months of fiscal year 2003.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

     The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
(its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively)
have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days prior to
the date of the filing of this Report, that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and
include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to
the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

     There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of such evaluation.

PART 2  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1:  Legal Proceedings

On October 11, 2002, ResMed Corp., ResMed, Inc., and ResMed Ltd. (collectively,
"ResMed") filed an action in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of California against the Company alleging that its manufacture and
sale of certain nasal masks infringe seven U.S. patents (only five of which have
been issued) (the "ResMed Patents"). The complaint also alleges a number of
related causes of action. In its complaint,



ResMed seeks injunctive relief, actual and punitive damages, and an award of
three times actual damages because of the Company's alleged willful infringement
of the ResMed Patents. In its answer to ResMed's complaint, the Company denied,
in all material respects, the allegations of the complaint.

On October 15, 2002, the Company filed its own action in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against ResMed Ltd.
seeking a declaratory judgment that the seven ResMed Patents are invalid and/or
unenforceable, and that the Company does not infringe the same. The declaratory
judgment action also seeks attorneys' fees as well as relief as to the remaining
allegations in the ResMed complaint.

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.
