ICD revenue of $673 million was down 6 percent, driven principally by a decline in the growth of the U.S. ICD market. The Company believes the ICD market remains significantly under penetrated and that several factors contributed to last quarter's unanticipated decline. Medtronic expects the ICD market to reaccelerate as a result of a number of initiatives it is undertaking to both increase market share and spur market growth in the U.S. ICD market.

(1) - Medtronic management believes that in order to properly
understand Medtronic's short-term and long-term financial trends,
investors may wish to consider the impact of foreign currency
translation on revenue. In addition, Medtronic management uses results
of operations before currency translation to evaluate the operational
performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning.
Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and
not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

Note: The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the

(a) The $40 million ($0.04 per share) after-tax certain litigation
charge is related to the settlement agreement reached with the United
States (U.S.) Department of Justice which requires the government to
seek dismissal of two qui tam civil suits pending against Medtronic.
In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are
determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), Medtronic management believes that in order to
properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends,
investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these
litigation charges. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial
measure provides useful information to investors regarding the
underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing
operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such
operations. Medtronic management eliminates these litigation charges
when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors
should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the
same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(b) The $295 million ($0.24 per share) after-tax IPR&D charges ($364
million pre-tax) represents the cumulative impact of pre-tax charges
of $169 million related to a technology acquired through the purchase
of Transneuronix, Inc. that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and had no future alternative use, $175 million related to
the purchase of spinal technology based devices owned by Gary
Michelson and Karlin Technology, Inc. that had not yet reached
technological feasability and had no future alternative use, and $20
million related to a cross-licensing agreement with NeuroPace, Inc.
for patent and patent applications on products that had not yet
reached technological feasability and had no future alternative use,
collectively the IPR&D charges. In addition to disclosing IPR&D
charges that are determined in accordance with GAAP, Medtronic
management believes that in order to properly understand its
short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it
useful to consider the impact of excluding these IPR&D charges. These
IPR&D charges resulted from facts and circumstances that vary in
frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Management believes
that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to
investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of
the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period
comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these
IPR&D charges when evaluating the operating performance of the
Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition
to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial
measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other
companies.

(c) The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) effective April 29, 2006 and
began to recognize compensation expense associated with all
stock-based awards. Prior to fiscal year 2007, the Company accounted
for stock-based awards under APB No. 25, and thus the Company only
recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and
restricted stock units. Under SFAS No. 123(R) compensation expense is
recognized on all stock-based awards including stock options, employee
stock purchase plans and restricted stock awards/units. The $32
million ($0.02 per share), net of statutory tax, ($44 million
pre-statutory tax) represents the incremental expense that would have
been recorded had the Company accounted for stock-based awards in
accordance with SFAS 123(R) in fiscal year 2006. Total stock-based
compensation including stock options, restricted stock awards/units
and employee stock purchase plans was $49 million (pre-tax) in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and pro-forma total stock-based
compensation including stock options, restricted stock awards/units
and employee stock purchase plans was $49 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2006. Below is a listing, by income statement line
item, of the pre-tax total stock-based compensation expense recognized
in first quarter fiscal 2007 and the pro forma stock-based
compensation for first quarter fiscal 2006.
