ITEM 1

BUSINESS

General
We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep−disordered
breathing and other respiratory disorders. Sleep−disordered breathing, or SDB, includes obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, and other
respiratory disorders that occur during sleep. When we were formed in 1989, our primary purpose was to commercialize a treatment for OSA
developed by Professor Colin Sullivan. This treatment, nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, was the first successful
noninvasive treatment for OSA. CPAP systems deliver pressurized air, typically through a nasal mask, to prevent collapse of the upper airway
during sleep.

Since the development of CPAP, we have developed a number of innovative products for SDB and other respiratory disorders including
airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories. Our growth has been fuelled by geographic expansion,
increased awareness of respiratory conditions as a significant health concern among physicians and patients, and our research and product
development efforts.

We employ approximately 3,200 people and sell our products in over 70 countries through a combination of wholly owned subsidiaries and
independent distributors.

Corporate History
ResMed Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed in March 1994 as the ultimate holding company for our Americas, Asia−Pacific and
European operating subsidiaries. On June 1, 1995, we completed an initial public offering of common stock and on June 2, 1995 our common
stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ National Market. On September 30, 1999 we transferred our principal public listing to the New
York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, trading under the ticker symbol RMD. On November 25, 1999, we established a secondary listing of our
common stock via Chess Depositary Instruments, or CDI’s, on the Australian Stock Exchange (now known as the Australian Securities
Exchange), or ASX, also under the symbol RMD. Ten CDI’s on the ASX represent one share of our common stock on the NYSE. On July 1,
2002, we converted our ASX listing status from a foreign exempt listing to a full listing.

Our Australian subsidiary, ResMed Holdings Limited, was originally organized in 1989 by Dr. Peter Farrell to acquire from Baxter Center for
Medical Research Pty Limited, or Baxter, the rights to certain technology relating to CPAP treatment as well as Baxter’s existing CPAP
device business. Baxter had sold CPAP devices in Australia since 1988, having acquired the rights to the technology in 1987.

Since formation we have acquired a number of operating businesses including:

Dieter W. Priess Medtechnik
Premium Medical SARL
Certain business assets of Innovmedics Pte Ltd
Certain business assets of EINAR Egnell AB
MAP Medizin Technologie GmbH
Labhardt AG
Servo Magnetics Inc.

Segment Information
We believe that, given the single market focus of our operations solely in the sleep−disordered breathing sector of the respiratory medicine
industry, and the inter−dependence of its products, we operate as a single operating segment. See Note 16 – Segment Information of the Notes
to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8) for financial information regarding segment reporting. Financial information about our revenues from
and assets located in foreign countries is also included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

The Market
Sleep is a complex neurological process that includes two distinct states: rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep and non−rapid eye movement,
or non−REM, sleep. REM sleep, which is about 20−25% of total sleep experienced by adults, is characterized by a high level of brain activity,
bursts of rapid eye movement, increased heart and respiration rates, and paralysis of many muscles. Non−REM sleep is subdivided into four
stages that generally parallel sleep depth; stage 1 is the lightest and stage 4 is the deepest.

The upper airway has no rigid support and is held open by active contraction of upper airway muscles. Normally, during REM sleep and
deeper levels of non−REM sleep, upper airway muscles relax and the airway narrows. Individuals with narrow upper airways or poor muscle
tone are prone to temporary collapses of the upper airway during sleep, called apneas, and to near closures of the upper airway called
hypopneas. These breathing irregularities result in a lowering of blood oxygen concentration, causing the central nervous system to react to
the lack of oxygen or increased carbon dioxide and signaling the body to respond. Typically, the individual subconsciously arouses from
sleep, causing the throat muscles to contract, opening the airway. After a few gasping breaths, blood oxygen levels increase and the individual
can resume a deeper sleep until the cycle repeats itself. Sufferers of OSA typically experience ten or more such cycles per hour. While these
awakenings greatly impair the quality of sleep, the individual is not normally aware of these disruptions. In addition, OSA has recently been
recognized as a cause of hypertension and a significant co−morbidity for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Scientists estimate that one in five adults have some form of obstructive sleep apnea. In the United States alone, this represents approximately
40 million people. Despite the high prevalence of OSA, there is a general lack of awareness of OSA among both the medical community and
the general public. It is estimated that less than 10% of those with OSA have been diagnosed or treated. Many healthcare professionals are
often unable to diagnose OSA because they are unaware that such non−specific symptoms as excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring,
hypertension and irritability are characteristic of OSA.

While OSA has been diagnosed in a broad cross−section of the population, it is predominant among middle−aged men and those who are
obese, smoke, consume alcohol in excess or use muscle−relaxing and pain−killing drugs. A strong association has been discovered between
OSA and a number of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that SDB is present in approximately 80% of patients with drug−resistant
hypertension, approximately 72% of patients with type 2 diabetes and approximately 80% of patients with congestive heart failure. In relation
to diabetes, recent studies indicate that SDB is independently associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.

Sleep−Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep−disordered breathing encompasses all physiological processes that cause detrimental breathing patterns during sleep. Manifestations
include OSA, central sleep apnea, or CSA, and hypoventilation

− 4 −

Table of Contents

syndromes that occur during sleep. Hypoventilation syndromes are generally associated with obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease and
neuromuscular disease. OSA is the most common form of SDB.

Sleep fragmentation and the loss of the deeper levels of sleep caused by OSA can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced cognitive
function, including memory loss and lack of concentration, depression and irritability. OSA sufferers also experience an increase in heart rate
and an elevation of blood pressure during the cycle of apneas. Several studies indicate that the oxygen desaturation, increased heart rate and
elevated blood pressure caused by OSA may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality due to angina, stroke
and heart attack. Patients with OSA have been shown to have impaired daytime performance in a variety of cognitive functions including
problem solving, response speed and visual motor coordination, and studies have linked OSA to increased occurrences of traffic and
workplace accidents.

Generally, an individual seeking treatment for the symptoms of OSA is referred by a general practitioner to a specialist for further evaluation.
The diagnosis of OSA typically requires monitoring the patient during sleep at either a sleep clinic or the patient’s home. During overnight
testing, respiratory parameters and sleep patterns may be monitored, along with other vital signs such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
Simpler tests, using devices such as our Apnealink, or our automatic positive airway pressure devices, monitor airflow during sleep, and use
computer programs to analyze airflow patterns. These tests allow sleep clinicians to detect any sleep disturbances such as apneas, hypopneas
or subconscious awakenings. We estimate that there are currently around 3,000 sleep clinics in the United States, a substantial portion of
which are affiliated with hospitals. The number of sleep clinics has expanded significantly from approximately 100 such facilities in 1985.

Existing Therapies
Before 1981, the primary treatment for OSA was a tracheotomy, a surgical procedure to cut a hole in the patient’s windpipe to create a
channel for airflow. Most recently, alternative treatments have involved either uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, or UPPP, in which surgery is
performed on the upper airway to remove excess tissue and to streamline the shape of the airway, implanting a device to add support to the
soft palate, or mandibular advancement, in which the lower jaw is moved forward to widen the patient’s airway. UPPP alone has a poor
success rate; however, when performed in conjunction with multi−stage upper airway surgical procedures, a greater success rate has been
claimed. These combined procedures, performed by highly specialized surgeons, are expensive and involve prolonged and often painful
recovery periods.

CPAP, by contrast, is a non−invasive means of treating OSA. CPAP was first used as a treatment for OSA in 1980 by Dr. Colin Sullivan, the
past Chairman of our Medical Advisory Board. CPAP systems were commercialized for treatment of OSA in the United States in the mid
1980’s. Today, use of CPAP is generally acknowledged as the most effective and least invasive therapy for managing OSA.

During CPAP treatment, a patient sleeps with a nasal interface connected to a small portable airflow generator that delivers room air at a
positive pressure. The patient breathes in air from the flow generator and breathes out through an exhaust port in the interface. Continuous air
pressure applied in this manner acts as a pneumatic splint to keep the upper airway open and unobstructed. Interfaces include nasal masks and
nasal pillows. Sometimes, when a patient leaks air through their mouth, a full−face mask may need to be used, rather than a nasal interface.

CPAP is not a cure and therefore, must be used on a nightly basis as long as treatment is required. Patient compliance has been a major factor
in the efficacy of CPAP treatment. Early generations of CPAP units provided limited patient comfort and convenience. Patients experienced
soreness from the

repeated use of nasal masks and had difficulty falling asleep with the CPAP device operating at the prescribed pressure. In more recent years,
product innovations to improve patient comfort and compliance have been developed. These include more comfortable patient interface
systems; delay timers that gradually raise air pressure allowing the patient to fall asleep more easily; bilevel air flow generators, including
Variable Positive Airway Pressure, or VPAP systems, which provide different air pressures for inhalation and exhalation; heated
humidification systems to make the airflow more comfortable; and autotitration devices that reduce the average pressure delivered during the
night.

Business Strategy
We believe that the SDB market will continue to grow in the future due to a number of factors including increasing awareness of OSA,
improved understanding of the role of SDB treatment in the management of cardiac, neurologic, metabolic and related disorders, and an
increase in home−based diagnosis. Our strategy for expanding our business operations and capitalizing on the growth of the SDB market
consists of the following key elements:

Continue Product Development and Innovation. We are committed to ongoing innovation in developing products for the diagnosis and
treatment of SDB. We have been a leading innovator of products designed to more effectively treat SDB, increase patient comfort and
encourage compliance with prescribed therapy. For example, in 1999 we introduced the Mirage Full Face Mask. This mask conforms to the
patient’s facial contours, creating a more comfortable and better seal. In 2005, we introduced the S8 range of CPAP, a small flow generator
with optional integrated humidification. In 2007, we introduced the Mirage Quattro, a full face mask that offers dual−wall cushion with spring
air technology which accommodates movement during sleep, and the Mirage Liberty, which combines our nasal pillow technology in a full
face mask product with a minimalist design. In 2008, we launched several new patient interfaces including the Mirage Micro, a new
generation nasal mask with a microfit dial and the Swift LT which offers a pillow system for additional support and comfort. In 2008, we also
launched an updated version of our S8 flow generator and the VPAP Auto, a new bi−level device incorporating our new motor technology
including the easy−breathe waveform. In 2009, we launched Activa LT and the Swift LT for Her, which was the first nasal pillow product
released that is designed and marketed specifically for female patients. In 2010, we launched the ApneaLink™ Plus, our type 3 device for
home sleep testing, the Swift™ FX mask, the Mirage™ SoftGel mask and the S9 AutoSet and Elite range of flow generator products. We
believe that continued product development and innovation are key factors to our ongoing success. Approximately 11% of our employees are
devoted to research and development activities. In fiscal year 2010, we invested $75.2 million, or 7% of our revenues, in research and
development.

Expand Geographic Presence. We market our products in over 70 countries to sleep clinics, home healthcare dealers and third party
payers. We intend to increase our sales and marketing efforts in our principal markets, as well as expand the depth of our presence in other
geographic regions.

Increase Public and Clinical Awareness. We intend to continue to expand our existing promotional activities to increase awareness of
SDB and our treatment alternatives. These promotional activities target the population with predisposition to SDB as well as specialists, such
as cardiologists, neurologists and pulmonologists. In addition, we also target special interest groups, including the National Stroke
Association, the American Heart Association and the National Sleep Foundation. In concert with another industry participant we are
sponsoring educational programs targeted at the primary care physician community, which should further enlighten both doctors and patients
about the relationship between sleep−disordered breathing/obstructive sleep apnea and co−morbidities such as cardiac disease, diabetes,
hypertension and obesity. The programs should also support our efforts to inform the community of the dangers of sleep apnea with regard to
occupational health and safety, especially in the transport industry.

− 6 −

Table of Contents

During fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, we donated $3.0 million, $3.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to the ResMed Foundation in
the United States, and the ResMed Foundation in Australia, to further enhance research and awareness of SDB. The contributions to the
Foundations reflect ResMed’s commitment to medical research into sleep−disordered breathing, particularly the treatment of obstructive sleep
apnea.

Expand into New Clinical Applications. We continually seek to identify new applications of our technology for significant unmet medical
needs. Studies have established a clinical association between OSA and both stroke and congestive heart failure, and have recognized SDB as
a cause of hypertension or high blood pressure. Research also indicates that SDB is independently associated with glucose intolerance and
insulin resistance. We have developed a device for the treatment of Cheyne−Stokes breathing in patients with congestive heart failure. In
addition, we maintain close working relationships with a number of prominent physicians to explore new medical applications for our
products and technology. In 2007, we received Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, clearance and launched a new product in the United
States for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency due to central sleep apnea, mixed apnea and periodic breathing, called the Adapt SV. The
Adapt SV uses a technology known as adaptive servo−ventilation and was first made available to a select group of U.S. key opinion leader
sites beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Adapt SV utilizes an advanced algorithm to calculate a patient−specific minute
ventilation target and automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain the target. We believe this technology has allowed physicians to
successfully treat complex breathing disorders in some patients who had previously tried and failed traditional positive airway pressure
therapy.

Leverage the Experience of our Management Team. Our senior management team has extensive experience in the medical device
industry in general, and in the field of SDB in particular. We intend to continue to leverage the experience and expertise of these individuals
to maintain our innovative approach to the development of products and increase awareness of the serious medical problems caused by SDB.

Products
Our portfolio of products for the treatment of OSA and other forms of SDB includes airflow generators, diagnostic products, mask systems,
headgear and other accessories.

Air Flow Generators
We produce CPAP, VPAP and AutoSet systems for the titration and treatment of SDB. The flow generator systems deliver positive airway
pressure through a patient interface, either a small nasal mask, nasal pillows system, or full−face mask.

Our VPAP units deliver ultra−quiet, comfortable bilevel therapy. There are two preset pressures: a higher pressure as the patient breathes in,
and a lower pressure as the patient breathes out. Breathing out against a lower pressure makes treatment more comfortable, particularly for
patients who need high pressure levels or for those with impaired breathing ability.

AutoSet systems are based on a proprietary technology to monitor breathing and can also be used in the diagnosis, treatment and management
of OSA. CPAP and VPAP flow generators together accounted for approximately 58%, 58% and 50% of our net revenues in fiscal years 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively.

With the acquisition of ResMed Paris SAS, previously Saime SA, in May 2005, we increased our presence in the European homecare
ventilation market. The VS and Elisée range of products are

To assist those professionals diagnosing or managing the treatment of patients there are data communications and control products such as the
ResLink, ResControl, ResControl II, TxControl, ResScan and ResTraxx modules that facilitate the transfer of data and other information to
and from the flow generators. To enhance patient comfort, convenience and compliance, we market a variety of other products and
accessories. These products include humidifiers, such as the HumidAire, H2i and H3i, which connect directly with the CPAP, VPAP and
AutoSet flow generators to humidify and heat the air delivered to the patient. Their use helps prevent the drying of nasal passages that can
cause discomfort. Other optional accessories include cold passover humidifiers, carry bags and breathing circuits.

Product Development and Clinical Trials
We have a strong track record in innovation in the sleep market. In 1989, we introduced our first CPAP device. Since then we have been
committed to an ongoing program of product advancement and development. Currently, our product development efforts are focused on not
only improving our current product offerings, but also expanding into new product applications.

In 1999, we introduced the AutoSet T flow generator, an autotitrating device that adapts to the patient’s breathing patterns to effectively
prevent apneas. In 2001, we introduced our next generation autotitrating device, the AutoSet Spirit. The AutoSet Spirit is an autotitrating
modular device with optional integrated humidifier. In 2003, we introduced the Activa nasal mask using our patented Active Cushion
Technology. In 2004, we launched our Mirage Swift mask, a light and unobtrusive nasal pillows mask system. Also, in 2004 we launched an
improved AutoSet CS 2 (outside the United States only) to treat congestive heart failure patients with significant central sleep apnea. In 2006,
we launched the Adapt SV within the United States. This product is for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency due to central sleep apnea,
mixed apnea and periodic breathing and uses a technology which we call adaptive servo−ventilation.

We continually seek to identify new applications of our technology for significant unmet medical needs. SDB is associated with a number of
symptoms beyond excessive daytime sleepiness and irritability. Recent studies have established a clinical association between SDB and
hypertension, stroke, congestive heart failure and diabetes. We support clinical trials in the United States, Germany, France, the United
Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland and Australia to develop new clinical applications for our technology.

We consult with physicians at major sleep centers throughout the world to identify technological trends in the treatment of SDB. New product
ideas are also identified by our marketing staff, direct sales force, network of distributors, manufacturers’ representatives, customers and
patients. Typically, our internal development staff then develops these ideas, where appropriate, into new products.

In fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 we invested $75.2 million, $63.1 million and $60.5 million, respectively, on research and development.

Sales and Marketing
We currently market our products in over 70 countries using a network of distributors, independent manufacturers’ representatives and our
direct sales force. We attempt to tailor our marketing approach to each national market, based on regional awareness of SDB as a health
problem, physician referral patterns, consumer preferences and local reimbursement policies. See Note 16 – Segment Information of the Notes
to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8) for financial information about our geographic areas.

North America and Latin America. Our products are typically purchased by a home healthcare dealer who then sells the products to the
patient. The decision to purchase our products, as opposed to those of our competitors, is made or influenced by one or more of the following
individuals or organizations: the prescribing physician and his or her staff; the home healthcare dealer; the insurer and the patient. In the
United States, our sales and marketing activities are conducted through a field sales organization made up of regional territory representatives,
program development specialists and regional sales directors. Our U.S. field sales organization markets and sells products to home healthcare
dealer branch locations throughout the United States.

We also market our products directly to sleep clinics. Patients who are diagnosed with OSA and prescribed CPAP treatment are typically
referred by the diagnosing sleep clinic to a home healthcare dealer to fill the prescription. The home healthcare dealer, in consultation with the
referring physician, will assist the patient in selecting the equipment, fit the patient with the appropriate mask and set the flow generator
pressure to the prescribed level.
Sales in North and Latin America accounted for 54%, 54% and 49% of our net revenues for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Europe. We market our products in most major European countries. We have wholly−owned subsidiaries in Austria, Finland, France,
Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. We use independent distributors to sell our products in
other areas of Europe. Distributors are selected in each country based on their knowledge of respiratory medicine and a commitment to SDB
therapy. In each country in which we sell our products direct, a local senior manager is responsible for direct national sales. In many countries
in Europe, we sell our products to home healthcare dealers who then sell the products to the patients. In Germany, we also operate a home
healthcare company, in which we provide products and services directly to patients, and receive reimbursement directly from third party
payers.

Sales in Europe accounted for 37%, 38% and 43% of our total net revenues for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Asia Pacific. We have wholly–owned subsidiaries in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, China and India. We use a combination
of our direct sales force and independent distributors to sell our products in Asia Pacific. Sales in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world
accounted for 9%, 8% and 8% of our total net revenues for the fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Other Marketing Efforts. We continue to pursue other suitable opportunities with professional and healthcare associations to raise
awareness of the co−morbidity of SDB in cardiovascular disease patients, including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure,
hypertension and stroke. We also continue to work to raise awareness of SDB in diabetes. Current research is increasingly showing an
independent association between OSA and type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, we initiated a study investigating the prevalence of OSA in the type
2 diabetic population. Due to the high prevalence of the SDB and type 2 diabetes, we are now actively supporting the American Association
of Diabetes Educators and are in the process of setting up further initiatives to develop the SDB market in the

− 14 −

Table of Contents

diabetic population. ResMed is also reaching out to diabetes patients. Through our partnership with the American Diabetes Association, a
sleep laboratory is now present at every Diabetes Expo meeting where patients have the opportunity to learn about diabetes self−management.

In June 2008, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) released a statement on SDB and type 2 diabetes. The IDF Taskforce on
Epidemiology and Prevention strongly recommended that health professionals working in both type 2 diabetes and SDB adopt clinical
practices to ensure that a patient presenting with one condition is considered for the other. Furthermore, the IDF recommended that people
with type 2 diabetes should be screened for OSA particularly when they present classical symptoms such as witnessed apneas, heavy snoring
or daytime sleepiness and poor workplace performance.

Manufacturing
Our principal manufacturing facility is located in Sydney, Australia and comprises a 155,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Our
manufacturing operations consist primarily of assembly and testing of our flow generators, masks and accessories. Of the numerous raw
materials, parts and components purchased for assembly of our therapeutic and diagnostic sleep disorder products, most are off−the−shelf
items available from multiple vendors. We generally manufacture to our internal sales forecasts and fill orders as received. Over the last few
years, the manufacturing processes have been transformed along lean manufacturing guidelines to flow lines staffed by dedicated teams. Each
team is responsible for the manufacture and quality of their product group and decisions are based on performance and quality measures,
including customer feedback.

We have a 32,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Singapore to complement the Sydney manufacturing site. The plant commenced with
the assembly of masks but now has a flow generator assembly line and an electric motor assembly line.

We have a 43,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Paris, France. This facility is accredited to ISO 13485 and is primarily responsible for
the assembly of mechanical ventilators and associated accessories.

We also manufacture high−quality electric motors for our flow generator devices at the ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. facility which
comprises a 72,000 square foot facility at Chatsworth, California.

Our quality management system is based upon the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA Quality System Regulations for Medical
Devices and the Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC). Our Sydney, Australia and San Diego, California and Singapore facilities are each
accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. These three sites have third party audits conducted by the ISO certification bodies at regular intervals.

Legislation Affecting Reimbursement, Taxes
The cost of medical care in many of the countries in which we operate is funded in substantial part by government and private insurance
programs. In Germany, we receive payments directly from these

− 15 −

Table of Contents

payers. Outside Germany, although we do not generally receive payments for our products directly from these payers, our success in major
markets is dependent upon the ability of patients to obtain adequate reimbursement for our products.

In the United States, our products are purchased primarily by home healthcare dealers, hospitals or sleep clinics, which then invoice
third−party payers directly for reimbursement. Domestic third−party payers include Medicare, Medicaid and corporate health insurance plans.
These payers may deny reimbursement if they determine that a device is not used in accordance with cost−effective treatment methods, or is
experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. The long−term trend towards managed healthcare, or legislative proposals to reform healthcare,
could control or significantly influence the purchase of healthcare services and products and could result in lower prices for our products. In
some foreign markets, such as Spain, France and Germany, government reimbursement is currently available for purchase or rental of our
products, however, subject to constraints such as price controls or unit sales limitations. In Australia and in some other foreign markets, there
is currently limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat OSA.

Recent United States legislation contains provisions that negatively impact reimbursement to our customers for their sale or rental of products
that we provide. These laws, each of which has been signed into law, include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by
the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the PPACA), Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers
Act of 2008, (MIPPA) Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA), and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA).
The MMA reduced payment amounts for five categories of covered home medical equipment items beginning in 2005, froze payment
amounts for certain items through 2007, established a competitive acquisition program and implemented quality standards and accreditation
requirements for HME suppliers.
The DRA capped the Medicare rental period for certain capped rental items, including CPAP devices, at 13 months of continuous use, after
which time title of the equipment would transfer to the beneficiary.
MIPPA retroactively delayed the implementation of competitive bidding for eighteen months and decreased the 2009 fee schedule payment
amounts by 9.5 percent for product categories included in competitive bidding. Because the annual update factor for 2010 was 0 percent, the
2009 fee schedule payment rates remain effective for 2010.
The PPACA, among other things, imposes a deductible excise tax equal to 2.3 percent of the price for which medical devices are sold in the
United States on any entity that manufactures or imports medical devices, with limited exceptions, beginning in 2013; new face to face
encounter requirements for durable medical equipment and home health services; and a requirement that by 2016, the competitive bidding
process must be nationalized or prices in non−competitive bidding areas must be adjusted to match competitive bidding prices.

We cannot predict the impact that any federal legislation enacted in the future will have on our revenues, profit margins, profitability,
operating cash flows and results of operations. While our product line in the United States does not include oxygen and oxygen related
equipment, reductions in reimbursement levels for oxygen could indirectly impact us.

Even though we do not submit claims or bill governmental programs and other third−party payers directly for reimbursement for our products
sold in the United States, we are still subject to laws and regulations relating to governmental programs, and any violation of these laws and
regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines. In particular, the federal Anti−Kickback Law prohibits persons from
knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing

− 16 −

Table of Contents

remuneration, 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 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 payers. These laws may apply to manufacturers and distributors who provide
information on coverage, coding and reimbursement of their products to persons who bill third−party payers. We continuously strive to
comply with these laws and believe that our arrangements do not violate these laws. Liability may still arise from the intentions or actions of
the parties with whom we do business or from a different governmental agency interpretation of the laws.

Service and Warranty
We generally offer one−year and two−year limited warranties on our flow generator products. Warranties on mask systems are for 90 days. In
most markets, we rely on our distributors to repair our products with parts supplied by us. In the United States, home healthcare dealers
generally arrange shipment of products to our San Diego facility for repair.

We receive returns of our products from the field for various reasons. We believe that the level of returns experienced to date is consistent
with levels typically experienced by manufacturers of similar devices. We provide for warranties and returns based on historical data.

Competition
The markets for our products are highly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in all of our markets are product
features, reliability and price. Customer support, reputation and efficient distribution are also important factors.

We compete on a market−by−market basis with various companies, some of which have greater financial, research, manufacturing and
marketing resources than us. In the United States, our principal market, Philips BV, who acquired Respironics Inc., a previous competitor;
DeVilbiss, a division of Sunrise Medical Inc.; Nellcor Puritan Bennett, a division of Covidien Ltd.; and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Corporation Limited are the primary competitors for our products. Our principal international competitors are also Philips BV, DeVilbiss, and
Nellcor Puritan Bennett, as well as regional manufacturers. The disparity between our resources and those of our competitors may increase as
a result of the trend towards consolidation in the healthcare industry. In addition, our products compete with surgical procedures and dental
appliances designed to treat OSA and other SDB related respiratory conditions. The development of new or innovative procedures or devices
by others could result in our products becoming obsolete or noncompetitive, which would harm our revenues and financial condition.

Any product developed by us that gains regulatory clearance will have to compete for market acceptance and market share. An important
factor in such competition may be the timing of market introduction of competitive products. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we
can develop products, complete clinical testing and regulatory clearance processes and supply commercial quantities of the product to the
market are important competitive factors. In addition, our ability to compete will continue to be dependent on the extent to which we are
successful in protecting our patents and other intellectual property.

Patents and Proprietary Rights and Related Litigation
Through our subsidiaries ResMed Limited, MAP Medizin−Technologie GmbH, ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed Paris SAS, we
own or have licensed rights to approximately 450 issued United States patents (including approximately 200 design patents) and
approximately 550 issued foreign patents. In addition, there are approximately 400 pending United States patent applications (including
approximately 80 design patent applications), approximately 800 pending foreign patent applications, approximately 1,000 registered foreign
designs and approximately 30 pending foreign designs. Some of these patents, patent applications and designs relate to significant aspects and
features of our products.

Of our patents, 31 United States patents and 59 foreign patents are due to expire in the next five years, with 18 foreign patents due to expire in
2011, 11 in 2012, 3 in 2013, 5 in 2014, and 32 in 2015; and with 4 United States patents due to expire in 2011, 2 United States patents in
2013, 6 United States patents in 2014, and 19 United States patents in 2015. We believe that the expiration of these patents will not have a
material adverse impact on our competitive position. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and
non−disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technology and rights.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our rights, or to defend third−party claims of infringement by us of the
proprietary rights of others. For example, we are currently appealing the decision of a court in Germany that entered judgment in favor of
certain plaintiffs that had claimed they should be listed as co−inventors on two of our German patent applications. 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. Patent laws regarding the enforceability of patents vary from
country to country. Therefore, there can be no assurance that patent issues will be uniformly resolved, or that local laws will provide us with
consistent rights and benefits.

Government Regulations
Our products are subject to extensive regulation particularly as to safety, efficacy and adherence to FDA Quality System Regulation, and
related manufacturing standards. Medical device products are subject to rigorous FDA and other governmental agency regulations in the
United States and similar regulations of foreign agencies abroad. The FDA regulates the introduction, manufacture, advertising, labeling,
packaging, marketing, distribution and record keeping for such products, in order to ensure that medical products distributed in the United
States are safe and effective for their intended use. In addition, the FDA is authorized to establish special controls to provide reasonable
assurance of the safety and effectiveness of most devices. Non−compliance with applicable requirements can result in import detentions,
fines, civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions or losses of regulatory approvals, recall or seizure of products, operating restrictions, refusal of
the government to approve product export applications or allow us to enter into supply contracts, and criminal prosecution.

The FDA requires that a manufacturer introducing a new medical device or a new indication for use of an existing medical device obtain
either a Section 510(k) premarket notification clearance or a premarket approval, or PMA, before introducing it into the U.S. market. Our
products currently marketed in the United States are marketed in reliance on 510(k) pre−marketing clearances as either Class I or Class II
devices. The process of obtaining a Section 510(k) clearance generally requires the submission of performance data and often clinical data,
which in some cases can be extensive, to demonstrate that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a device that was on the market before
1976 or to a device that has been found by the FDA to be “substantially equivalent” to such a pre−1976 device. As a result, FDA clearance
requirements may extend the development process for a

− 18 −

Table of Contents

considerable length of time. In addition, in some cases, the FDA may require additional review by an advisory panel, which can further
lengthen the process. The PMA process, which is reserved for new devices that are not substantially equivalent to any predicate device and for
high−risk devices or those that are used to support or sustain human life, may take several years and requires the submission of extensive
performance and clinical information.

As a medical device manufacturer, all of our domestic and Australian manufacturing facilities are subject to inspection on a routine basis by
the FDA. We believe that our design, manufacturing and quality control procedures are in compliance with the FDA’s regulatory
requirements.

Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. Approval
for sale of our medical devices in Europe is through the CE mark process. Where appropriate, our products are CE marked to the European
Union’s Medical Device Directive. Under the CE marketing scheme, our products are classified as either Class I or Class II. Our devices are
listed in Australia with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA, and in Canada with Health Canada.

Employees
As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately 3,200 employees or full time consultants, of which approximately 1,300 persons were employed
in warehousing and manufacturing, 400 in research and development and 1,500 in sales, marketing and administration. Of our employees and
consultants, approximately, 1,300 were located in Australia, 700 in North and South America, 1,000 in Europe and 200 in Asia.

We believe that the success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. None of our employees
are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

During 2009−10, the Bella Vista Campus continued its commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for our employees, contractors
and visitors. This commitment is underpinned by an OHS policy with its focus to systematically eliminate hazards and statement of objectives
as guidance. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System further integrated with the Quality Management System, developing in
maturity and ensuring compliance with local legislative requirements. The introduction of Positive Performance Indicators in 2009 continues
to drive OHS continuous improvement and for the third consecutive year the Bella Vista Campus has achieved a significant reduction in the
rate of injury.

ITEM 1A

RISK FACTORS
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other
cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere, and the other information contained, in this Report and in our other filings with the SEC,
including our subsequent reports on Forms 10−Q and 8−K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these
known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs with material adverse effects on us, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock will likely decline, and you may lose all or part of
your investment.

Our inability to compete successfully in our markets may harm our business. The markets for our sleep−disordered breathing products
are highly competitive and are characterized by frequent

− 19 −

Table of Contents

product improvements and evolving technology. Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to develop, manufacture
and market innovative new 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 make our products noncompetitive or obsolete. Current
competitors, new entrants, academics, and others are trying to develop new devices, alternative treatments or cures, and pharmaceutical
solutions to the conditions our products treat.

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 healthcare 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 healthcare products and sleep clinics. We market our
products primarily to home healthcare dealers and to sleep clinics that diagnose OSA and other sleep disorders. We believe that home
healthcare dealers and sleep clinics play a significant role in determining which brand of product a patient will use. The success of our
business depends on our ability to market effectively to home healthcare dealers and sleep clinics to ensure that our products are properly
marketed and sold by these third parties.

We have limited resources to market to approximately the 3,000 U.S. sleep clinics and the more than 6,000 home healthcare dealer branch
locations, most of which use, sell or recommend several brands of products. In addition, home healthcare dealers have experienced price
pressures as government and third−party reimbursement has declined for home healthcare products, and home healthcare 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 healthcare dealers or patients will not substitute competing products when a prescription
specifying our products has been written.

We have expanded our marketing activities to target the population with a predisposition to sleep−disordered breathing as well as primary
care physicians and various medical specialists. We cannot assure you that these marketing efforts will be successful in increasing awareness
or sales of our products.

Any inability to market effectively our products outside the United States could impact our profitability. Approximately half our
revenues are generated outside the United States, in over 70 different countries. Many of these countries have unique regulatory, medical and
business environments, which may adversely impact our ability to market our products. If we are unable to market effectively our products
outside the United States, our overall financial performance could decline.

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 and research and development costs will continue to be denominated in Australian dollars.

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 on our ability to implement and improve our financial and management information systems on a timely basis and to
effect other changes in our business including, the ability to monitor and improve manufacturing systems, information technology, and quality
and regulatory compliance systems, among others. 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 effectively and
efficiently, our costs could increase faster than our revenues and our business could suffer.

If we fail to integrate our recent acquisitions with our operations, our business could suffer. During the year ended June 30, 2010 we
acquired Laboratories Narval. We continue to integrate this acquisition into our operations and we may find it difficult to integrate the
operations as personnel may leave and licensees, distributors or suppliers may terminate their arrangements or demand amended terms to
these arrangements. Additionally, our management may have their attention diverted while trying to integrate these companies. If we are not
able to successfully integrate the operations, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.

We are subject to various risks relating to international activities that could affect our overall profitability. We manufacture
substantially all of our products outside the United States and sell a significant portion of our products in non−U.S. markets. Sales outside
North and Latin America accounted for approximately 46% and 46% of our net revenues in the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
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 U.S. operations, including:

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

tariffs and other trade barriers;

compliance with foreign medical device manufacturing regulations;

difficulty in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems;

reduction in third party payer reimbursement for our products;

inability to obtain import licenses;

changes in trade policies and in U.S. and foreign tax policies;

possible changes in export or import restrictions; and

the modification or introduction of other governmental policies with potentially adverse effects.

Any of the above factors may have a material adverse effect on our ability to increase or maintain our foreign sales.
Government and private insurance plans may not adequately reimburse our customers 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
coverage and reimbursement for our products will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and
other organizations. These third party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services and can,
without notice, deny coverage for treatments that may include the use of the Company’s products. Therefore, even if a product is approved for

− 21 −

Table of Contents

marketing, we cannot make assurances that coverage and reimbursement will be available for the product, that the reimbursement amount will
be adequate or, that the reimbursement amount, even if initially adequate, will not subsequently be reduced. For example, in some markets,
such as Spain, France and Germany, government coverage and reimbursement are currently available for the 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, there is currently
limited or no reimbursement for devices that treat sleep−disordered breathing conditions. As we continue to develop new products, those
products will generally not qualify for coverage and reimbursement, if at all, until they are approved for marketing.

In the United States, we do not submit claims and bill governmental programs or other third party payors directly for reimbursement for our
products. We sell our products primarily to home healthcare dealers, hospitals and to sleep clinics. Any proposed reductions in
reimbursement, if they occur, may have a material impact on our customers. Any material impact on our customers may indirectly affect our
sales to those customers, or the collectibility of receivables we have from those customers. For example, in 2003, the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) instructed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the agency
responsible for administering the Medicare program (CMS), to establish and implement programs under which competitive bidding areas
(“CBAs”), would be established throughout the United States for contract award purposes for the furnishing of competitively priced items of
home medical equipment, including oxygen and oxygen equipment, CPAP and respiratory assist devices, and related supplies and accessories.
On July 2, 2010 CMS announced the single payment amount for round 1 of the competitive bidding, which included 9 CBAs, and began
offering contracts to certain bidders. The average reduction from current Medicare payment rates in this 1 st round of competitive bidding
across the CBAs for CPAP and respiratory assist devices is approximately 32%. If implemented, the proposed changes would be effective
January 1, 2011. The expansion of round 2 of competitive bidding to a total of 91 CBA’s, if implemented, would be effective January 1, 2013,
and by 2016, the process must be nationalized or prices in non−competitive bidding areas must be adjusted to match competitive bidding
prices. We cannot predict at this time which proposals CMS will adopt and what impact, if any, they will have on our business and financial
condition.

Health care reform, including recently enacted United States legislation, may have a material adverse effect on our industry and our
results of operations.
In March 2010, the President signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care
and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “PPACA”), which makes changes that are expected to impact the
pharmaceutical and medical device industries. One of the principal aims of the PPACA as currently enacted is to expand health insurance
coverage to approximately 32 million Americans who are currently uninsured. We cannot predict the impact of these coverage expansions, if
any, on the sales of our products.

The PPACA also contains a number of provisions designed to generate the revenues necessary to fund the coverage expansions among other
things. This includes new fees or taxes on certain health−related industries, including medical device manufacturers. Beginning in 2013, with
limited exceptions, entities that manufacture, produce or import medical devices will be required to pay a deductible excise tax in an amount
equal to 2.3 percent of the price for which such devices are sold in the United States. Though there are some exceptions to the excise tax, this
excise tax does apply to all of the Company’s products. The PPACA also includes, among other things, the expansion of round 2 of
competitive bidding to a total of 91 CBA’s, and by 2016, the process must be nationalized or prices in non−competitive bidding areas must be
adjusted to match competitive bidding prices; and the establishment of a new Patient−Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee,
identify priorities in and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research.

Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the state level in the United States. We cannot predict whether future healthcare
initiatives will be implemented at the federal or state level or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on us. The taxes imposed
by the new federal legislation and, the expansion in the federal government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry and the increased funding
and focus on comparative clinical effectiveness research that compares and evaluates the risks and benefits, clinical outcomes, effectiveness
and appropriateness of products may result in decreased profits to us, lower reimbursements by payors for our products, and reduced medical
procedure volumes. The PPACA as well as other state and/or federal healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with anti−kickback and fraud regulations could result in substantial penalties and changes in our business
operations. In particular, the federal Anti−Kickback Law prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or
providing remuneration, 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 U.S.
government has interpreted this law broadly to apply to the marketing and sales activities of manufacturers and distributors like us.

The recently enacted PPACA, among other things, amends the intent requirement of the federal anti−kickback and criminal health care fraud
statutes. A person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, the PPACA
provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal anti−kickback statute
constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the false claims statutes. Many states and other governments 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 payers. 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 payers. Any violation of these laws and regulations could result
in civil and criminal penalties (including fines), increased legal expenses and exclusions from governmental reimbursement programs, all of
which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The PPACA also imposes new reporting and disclosure requirements on device and drug manufacturers for any “transfer of value” made or
distributed to prescribers and other healthcare providers, effective March 30, 2013. Such information will be made publicly available in a
searchable format beginning September 30, 2013. In addition, device and drug manufacturers will also be required to report and disclose any
investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members during the preceding calendar year. Failure to submit required
information may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (and up to an aggregate of $1 million per year
for “knowing failures”), for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests not reported.

Complying with Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other regulations is an expensive and time−consuming process, and any
failure to comply could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. We
are subject to various federal, state, local and international regulations regarding our business activities. Failure to comply with these
regulations could result in, among other things, recalls of our products, substantial fines and criminal charges against us or against our
employees. Furthermore, our products could be subject to recall if the FDA or we determine, for any reason, that our products are not safe or
effective. Any recall or other regulatory action could increase our costs, damage our reputation, affect

− 23 −

Table of Contents

our ability to supply customers with the quantity of products they require and materially affect our operating results. For example, in April
2007 we announced a worldwide voluntary product recall of approximately 300,000 of our S8 flow generators manufactured between July
2004 and May 2006. We determined that there was a remote potential for a short circuit in the power connector. To date, no significant
property damage or patient injury has been reported. The cost of this action was $62.8 million which accounted for factors such as the return
of affected units, unit replacement costs, legal, consulting, logistical and temporary contractor expenses directly associated with the recall.
There is no remaining recall accrual for fiscal year 2010.

Product sales, introductions or modifications may be delayed or canceled as a result of FDA regulations or similar foreign
regulations, which could cause our sales and profits 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
Section 510(k) clearance process. We have modified some of our Section 510(k) approved products without submitting new Section 510(k)
notices, which we do not believe were required. However, if the FDA disagrees with us and requires us to submit new Section 510(k)
notifications for modifications to our existing products, we may be required to stop marketing the products while the FDA reviews the
Section 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 before submitting a 510(k) notice. We may also be
required to obtain premarket approvals for certain of our products. In addition, the FDA is currently evaluating the Section 510(k) clearance
process and may make substantial changes to the process and associated industry requirements, including the requirements related to which
devices are eligible for Section 510(k) clearance and which devices which may be used as predicates in demonstrating substantial equivalence,
and the grounds and procedures under which FDA may rescind a Section 510(k) clearance. The requirements of the more rigorous premarket
approval process and/or significant changes to the Section 510(k) clearance process 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.

We are subject to substantial regulation related to quality standards applicable to its manufacturing and quality processes. Our
failure to comply with these standards could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The
FDA regulates the approval, manufacturing, and sales and marketing of many of our products in the U.S. Significant government regulation
also exists in Canada, Japan, Europe, and other countries in which we conduct business. As a device manufacturer, we are required to register
with the FDA and is subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”)
requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing, quality control and
documentation procedures. In addition, the federal Medical Device Reporting regulations require us to provide information to the FDA
whenever there is evidence that reasonably suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a
malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is
subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. In the European Community, we are
required to maintain certain ISO certifications in order to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections by notified bodies to obtain
and maintain these certifications. Failure to comply with current governmental regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to
temporary manufacturing

− 24 −

Table of Contents

shutdowns, product recalls or related field actions, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an
increase in trends of adverse events in the marketplace, and/or manufacturing quality issues with respect to our products could lead to product
recalls or related field actions, withdrawals, and/or declining sales.

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 our single source suppliers could result in a significant reduction in sales and
profitability. We purchase uniquely configured components for our devices from various suppliers, including some who are single−source
suppliers for us. 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 halt in supply while a
replacement supplier reconfigures its components, or while we reconfigure our devices 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.

We are subject to potential 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. In April 2007 we announced a worldwide voluntary product recall of approximately 300,000 of our S8 flow
generators manufactured between July 2004 and May 2006. We determined that there was a remote potential for a short circuit in the power
connector. To date, no significant property damage or patient injury has been reported. However, we would likely be subject to product
liability claims should any of these devices malfunction, resulting in injury to a patient or damage to property. 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 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 intellectual property may not protect our products, and/or 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

− 25 −

Table of Contents

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

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.

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, could be forced to design around the patents at issue or could be required
to cease sales of the affected products. A license may not be available at all or on commercially viable terms, and we may not be able to
redesign our products to avoid infringement. 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 tax audits by various tax authorities in many jurisdictions. From time to time we may be audited by the tax
authorities and are still subject to an ongoing German tax audit. Any final assessment resulting from this audit could result in material changes
to our past or future taxable income, tax payable or deferred tax assets, and could require us to pay penalties and interest that could materially
adversely affect our financial results.

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 and costs 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;

the effect of foreign currency transaction gains or losses; and

other activities of our competitors.

− 26 −

Table of Contents

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate.

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 and profitability 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 they were affected by a disaster, we would be forced to rely on third party manufacturers.
Although we believe we possess adequate insurance for 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 and provisions in our charter and could make it difficult for another company to acquire us. 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 security holders. 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. 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.

We 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 eight directors and three of our six executive 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.

Our results of operations may be materially affected by global economic conditions generally, including conditions in the financial
markets. Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the United States mortgage
market and a declining residential real estate market in the United States have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations
for the economy and the financial markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer
confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown. It is difficult to predict how long the current economic
conditions will continue and whether the economic conditions will continue to deteriorate. If the economic climate in the United States or
outside the United States continues to deteriorate or there is a shift in government spending priorities, customers or potential customers could
reduce or delay their purchases, which could impact our revenue, our ability to manage inventory levels, collect customer receivables, and
ultimately decrease our profitability.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of our fiscal year 2010 that remain unresolved.

PROPERTIES
Our new principal executive offices and U.S. distribution facilities, consisting of approximately 230,000 square feet, are located on Spectrum
Centre Boulevard in North San Diego County, California, in a building we own. We have our research and development and office facilities at
our existing site in Norwest, Sydney, Australia, which consists of approximately 69,000 square feet. We own our principal manufacturing
facility consisting of a 155,000 square foot complex at this same Norwest site in Sydney, Australia. We lease a 32,000 square foot
manufacturing facility in Singapore to complement the Sydney manufacturing site. We also lease a 72,000 square foot facility for manufacture
of electronic motors in Chatsworth, California.

Sales and warehousing facilities are either leased or owned in South Carolina and Oregon, U.S.A.; Abingdon, England; Munich, Germany;
Bremen, Germany; Hochstadt, Germany; Lyon, France; Paris, France; Basel, Switzerland; Trollhaettan, Sweden; Vienna, Austria; Helsinki,
Finland; Den Haag, Netherlands; Oslo, Norway; and Kowloon, Hong Kong.

ITEM 3

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole.

During September and October 2004, we began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of our German subsidiaries by the
German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain aspects of these assessment notices are being contested and appealed to the
German tax authority office. As the outcome of the appeal cannot be predicted with certainty, any tax issues resolved in a manner not
consistent with our expectations may require us to adjust our provision for income tax in the period of resolution.

In February 2007, the University of Sydney commenced legal action in the Federal Court of Australia against us, claiming breach of a license
agreement and infringement of certain intellectual property. The claim has been amended to include an allegation of breach of confidentiality.
The university is seeking various types of relief, including an injunction against manufacturing, supplying, offering for sale, selling or
exporting certain mask devices, payment of license fees, damages or an account of profits, interest, costs and declaration of a constructive
trust over and assignment of certain intellectual property. In October 2007, we filed a defense denying the university’s claim, as well as a
cross−claim against the university seeking an order for rectification of the contract and alleging the university violated the Australian Trade
Practices Act. The matter is ongoing. We do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial statements.

In January 2010, Vaughn Medical Equipment Repair Service, L.L.C., filed a complaint in the U.S. District court in Louisiana, against us and
other defendants, alleging, among other things, anti−competitive conduct, conspiracy, defamation and tortious interference. We have filed our
initial response to the suit, asking the court to dismiss the case. We do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect
on our consolidated financial statements.

At August 4, 2010, there were 37 holders of record of our common stock. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since
the initial public offering of our common stock and we do not currently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate
that all of our earnings and other cash resources, if any, will be retained for the operation and expansion of our business and for general
corporate purposes.

On August 5, 2010 we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a two−for−one split of its common stock, payable in the form of a
100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders of record will receive one additional share of common stock for every share held on August 17,
2010. The common stock will be distributed to shareholders on or about August 30, 2010, by our New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC. The common stock is expected to begin trading on a post−split basis on
the NYSE beginning on August 31, 2010 or one day following the distribution date. Refer to Note 12 of consolidated financial statements for
the impact of the two−for−one stock split.

ITEM 7

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations is intended to help the reader understand
the results of operations and financial condition of Resmed Inc. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction
with selected financial data and consolidated financial statements and notes, included herein.

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep−disordered
breathing (“SDB”) and other respiratory disorders. During the fiscal year, we continued our efforts to build awareness of the consequences of
untreated SDB and to grow our business in this market. In our efforts, we have attempted to raise awareness through market and clinical
initiatives and by highlighting the increasing link between the potential effects SDB can have on cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 diabetes.

In September 2008, the European Society of Cardiologists published guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. The
guidelines noted that patients with symptomatic heart failure frequently have sleep−related disorders (central or obstructive sleep apnea) and
recommended treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP, for patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. In June
2008, the International Diabetes Federation issued a consensus statement on sleep disordered breathing and Type 2 Diabetes, where the
substantial value of identifying and treating diabetic patients suffering from sleep disordered breathing was recognized and recommended.
The National Institutes of Health released a clinical study in April 2010 reporting that obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased
risk of stroke in middle−aged and older adults, especially men. In a recently released study in Circulation, it was reported that obstructive
sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of incident heart failure in a general community of middle−aged and older men. Specifically,
men ages 40 to 70 with AHI‡30 were 68% more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those with AHI<5. This is just one of many
studies being conducted that provide new evidence that treating sleep−disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea can improve health,
quality of life and also mitigate the dangers of sleep apnea in occupational health and safety, especially in the transport industry. we may
experience continued growth from the increasing awareness of the relationship between sleep−disordered breathing, obstructive sleep apnea
and co−morbidities such as cardiac disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

We are committed to ongoing investment in research and development and product enhancements. During fiscal year 2010, we invested
approximately $75.2 million on research and development activities, which represents 7% of revenue. Since the development of CPAP, we
have developed a number of innovative products for the treatment of SDB and other respiratory disorders including airflow generators,
diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories.

During fiscal year 2010, we released new products across both our mask and flow generator categories. We have introduced new masks
during fiscal 2010, including the Swift™ FX mask and the Mirage™ SoftGel mask. Additionally, we released the S9™ AutoSet and Elite
flow generators. These products have an improved comfort and sleek, bedroom−friendly design but most importantly have been developed to
drive greater patient adherence to therapy.

We reported record financial results in fiscal year 2010, with an increase in net revenue of 19% to $1,092.4 million compared to fiscal year
2009. Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $655.5 million from $553.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, an
increase of $101.7 million or 18%. Our net income for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $190.1 million or $2.45 per diluted share compared
to net income of $146.4 million or $1.90 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Total operating cash flow for fiscal year 2010 was $188.2 million and at June 30, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $488.8 million.
Our total assets increased by 9% to $1.6 billion and our shareholders’ equity was up 15% to $1.3 billion. During fiscal year 2010, we
repurchased 2,519,843 shares at a cost of $135.8 million under our share buy−back program.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
Net Revenues. Net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $1,092.4 million from $920.7 million for the year ended June 30,
2009, an increase of $171.6 million or 19%. The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators,
masks and accessories. Movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar positively impacted revenues by approximately $11.8
million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency movements, sales for the year ended June 30,
2010 increased by 17% compared to the year ended June 30, 2009.

Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $590.4 million from $493.4 million for the year ended
June 30, 2009, an increase of $97.0 million or 20%. We believe this growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness
of SDB and from our recent product releases including the S9™ AutoSet and Elite flow generators and the Swift™ FX and Mirage™ SoftGel
masks.

Net revenue in markets outside North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $502.0 million from $427.3 million for
the year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $74.6 million or 17%. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency movements,
international sales grew by 15%. This sales growth outside North and Latin America predominantly reflects growth in the overall
sleep−disordered breathing market and growth generated from our recent product releases including the S9™ AutoSet and Elite flow
generators and the Swift™ FX and Mirage™ SoftGel masks.

Sales of flow generators for the year ended June 30, 2010 totaled $633.6 million from $532.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, an
increase of 19%, including increases of 18% in North and Latin America and 20% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other
accessories totaled $458.8 million, an increase of 18%, including increases of 22% in North and Latin America and 12% elsewhere, for the
year ended June 30, 2010, compared to the year ended June 30, 2009. We believe these primarily reflect growth in the overall SDB market
and contributions from new products.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $655.5 million from $553.8 million for the year ended June 30,
2009, an increase of $101.7 million or 18%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue remained at 60% for the year ended June 30, 2010
which is consistent with the 60% for the year ended June 30, 2009. Gross margins were positively impacted by a favorable change in product
mix as sales of our higher margin products represented a higher proportion of our sales and cost savings attributable to manufacturing and
supply chain improvements. These impacts

were offset by negative impacts associated with declines in our average selling prices and the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the
U.S. dollar as the majority of our manufacturing labor and overhead is denominated in Australian dollars.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to
$328.9 million from $289.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $39.0 million or 13%. As a percentage of net revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 was 30% compared to 31% for the year ended June 30, 2009.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of sales and administrative
personnel to support our growth, stock−based compensation costs and other expenses related to the increase in our sales including activities
targeted at increasing the awareness and diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was also due to the net appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased our selling, general and administrative
expenses by approximately $9.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010 as reported in U.S. dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we
expect our future selling, general and administrative expense to continue to be broadly in the range of 30%.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2010 to $75.2 million
from $63.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $12.1 million or 19%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and
development expenses were 7% for the year ended June 30, 2010 and are consistent with the year ended June 30, 2009.

The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel,
increased charges for consulting fees and an increase in clinical trial costs. The increase in research and development expenses was also due to
the net appreciation of international currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased our research and development expenses by
approximately $8.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010, as reported in U.S. dollars. As a percentage of net revenue, we expect our future
research and development expense to continue to be broadly in the range of 7%.

Donations to Research Foundation. In the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we donated $3.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, to
the ResMed Foundation. The Foundation was established primarily to promote research into the deleterious medical consequences of
untreated sleep−disordered breathing and to increase public and physician awareness of the importance of sleep and respiratory health
throughout the world.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2010 totaled $8.0
million compared to $7.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2009. The increase in amortization expense is attributable to the acquisition of
Laboratories Narval SA and the appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar as the majority of the acquired intangible assets are
denominated in Euros.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income, net for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $20.2 million, a increase of $8.8 million over the
year ended June 30, 2009 of $11.4 million. The increase in other income, net, was predominately due to gains on foreign currency and
hedging transactions and an increase in interest income, net, due to additional cash balances and a reduction in our long−term debt.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 27.1% for the year ended June 30, 2010 from 27.4% for the year ended June 30,
2009. The lower tax rate was primarily due to a change in the geographic mix of taxable income, including the impact of lower taxes
associated with our new Singapore manufacturing operation. We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain
Australian research and development tax benefits because we generate the majority of our taxable income in Australia.

Net Income. As a result of the factors above, our net income for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $190.1 million or $2.45 per diluted share
compared to net income of $146.4 million or $1.90 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 30% and 29%,
respectively, over the year ended June 30, 2009.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008
Net Revenues. Net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to $920.7 million from $835.4 million for the year ended June 30,
2008, an increase of $85.3 million or 10%. The increase in net revenue was attributable to an increase in unit sales of our flow generators,
masks and accessories. Movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar negatively impacted revenues by approximately $40.3
million for the year ended June 30, 2009. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency movements, sales for the year ended June 30,
2009 increased by 15% compared to the year ended June 30, 2008.

Net revenue in North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to $493.4 million from $409.6 million for the year ended
June 30, 2008, an increase of $83.8 million or 20%. This growth has been generated by increased public and physician awareness of
sleep−disordered breathing and growth generated from our recent product releases including the S8II flow generator, VPAP Auto 25, VPAP
S, Swift LT nasal pillows mask and Mirage Quattro full−face mask.

Net revenue in markets outside North and Latin America increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to $427.3 million from $425.8 million for
the year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.5 million or 0.4%. Movements in international currencies against the U.S. dollar negatively
impacted international revenues by approximately $40.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2009. Excluding the impact of unfavorable
foreign currency movements, international sales grew by 10%. This sales growth outside North and Latin America predominantly reflects
growth in the overall sleep−disordered breathing market, growth generated from our recent product releases including the S8II flow generator,
VPAP S, VPAP ST and Mirage Quattro full−face mask offset by the negative impact from movements of international currencies against the
U.S. dollar.

Sales of flow generators for the year ended June 30, 2009 totaled $532.1 million from $484.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of 10%, including increases of 21% in North and Latin America and 2% elsewhere. Sales of mask systems, motors and other
accessories totaled $388.6 million, an increase of 11%, including increase of 20% in North and Latin America offset by a decrease of 2%
elsewhere, for the year ended June 30, 2009, compared to the year ended June 30, 2008. We believe these primarily reflect growth in the
overall sleep−disordered breathing market and contributions from new products, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements
in sales outside of North and Latin America.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to $553.8 million from $493.8 million for the year ended June 30,
2008, an increase of $60.1 million or 12%. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to 60%
from 59% for the year ended June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margins is primarily due to the depreciation of the Australian dollar against
the U.S. dollar as the majority of our manufacturing labor and overhead is

denominated in Australian dollars, a favorable change in product mix as sales of our higher margin products represented a higher proportion
of our sales and cost savings attributable to manufacturing and supply chain improvements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to
$289.9 million from $278.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $11.8 million or 4%. As a percentage of net revenue,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2009 was 31% compared to 33% for the year ended June 30, 2008.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased for the year ended June 30, 2009 to $63.1 million
from $60.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $2.5 million or 4%. As a percentage of net revenue, research and
development expenses were 7% for the year ended June 30, 2009 and are consistent with the year ended June 30, 2008.

The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of research and development personnel,
increased charges for consulting fees and an increase in clinical trials, including the SERVE−HF study. The increase in research and
development expenses was also offset by the net appreciation of the U.S. dollar against international currencies, which reduced our expenses
by approximately $11.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, as reported in U.S. dollars.

Donations to Research Foundation. In the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we donated $3.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to
the ResMed Foundation. The Foundation was established primarily to promote research into the deleterious medical consequences of
untreated sleep−disordered breathing.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2009 totaled $7.1
million compared to $7.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in amortization expense is attributable to the appreciation of
the U.S. dollar against the Euro as the majority of the acquired intangible assets are denominated in Euros.

Restructuring Expenses. Restructuring expenses incurred for the year ended June 30, 2009 were $Nil compared to $2.4 million for the year
ended June 30, 2008. Restructuring expenses in the prior year consisted of expenses associated with our decision to streamline European
management, including the closure of part of the European headquarters in Basel, Switzerland and two regional offices in the Netherlands.
The restructuring expenses mainly comprise employee termination costs, leasehold improvement write−downs and property lease exit costs.
We will continue to monitor the progress of this restructure and adjust our business strategies and personnel accordingly to achieve maximum
efficiencies and cost savings.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income, net for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $11.4 million, a decrease of $3.5 million over the
year ended June 30, 2008 of $14.9 million. This was predominantly due a $5.9 million gain on the sale of our Poway property, that was
reported in year ended June 30, 2008 which was partly offset by a $3.2 million impairment write−down of our at cost−method investments in
the same fiscal year.

Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 27.4% for the year ended June 30, 2009 from 30.1% for the year ended June 30,
2008. The lower tax rate was primarily due to a change in the geographic mix of taxable income, including the impact of lower taxes
associated with our new Singapore manufacturing operation. We continue to benefit from the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% and certain
Australian research and development tax benefits because we generate the majority of our taxable income in Australia.

Net Income. As a result of the factors above, our net income for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $146.4 million or $1.90 per diluted share
compared to net income of $110.3 million or $1.40 per diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 33% and 36%,
respectively, over the year ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $488.8 million and $415.7 million, respectively. Working capital
was $672.7 million and $584.2 million at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in working capital predominantly
reflects the growth and profitability of the business during the year.

Inventories at June 30, 2010 increased by $28.2 million or 18% to $185.6 million compared to June 30, 2009 inventories of $157.4 million.
The increase in inventories was lower than the increase of 19% in net revenues in the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the year ended
June 30, 2009 due to improved inventory management.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010 were $226.9 million, an increase of $14.8 million or 7% over the
June 30, 2009 accounts receivable balance of $212.1 million. The increase was lower than the 19% incremental increase in net revenues for
the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to the year ended June 30, 2009. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding of 71 days at June 30,
2010 decreased by 3 days compared to 74 days at June 30, 2009. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total accounts
receivable at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.3% and 3.4%, respectively. The credit quality of our customers remains broadly consistent with
our past experience.

During the year ended June 30, 2010, we generated cash of $188.2 million from operations. This was lower than the cash generated from
operations for the year ended June 30, 2009 of $238.9 million and was primarily the result of an increase in income tax payments. Movements
in foreign currency exchange rates during the year ended June 30, 2010 had the effect of increasing our cash and cash equivalents by $4.4
million, as reported in U.S. dollars. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 2,519,843 and 1,826,307 shares at a cost of $135.8
million and $65.7 million, respectively.

Capital expenditures for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 aggregated $56.9 million and $109.7 million, respectively. The capital
expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflected computer hardware and software, rental and loan equipment and purchase of
production tooling equipment and machinery. As a result of these capital expenditures, our balance sheet reflects net property, plant and
equipment of approximately $387.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $377.6 million at June 30, 2009.

On April 30, 2010, ResMed Inc., and our wholly−owned subsidiaries, ResMed Corp., ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. and ResMed Motor
Technologies Inc., entered into a Fourth Amendment to the March 1, 2006 Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement (“the
Loan Agreement”) with Union Bank, N.A (formerly Union Bank of California, N.A). The Loan Agreement was modified in order that the
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was revised to exclude all indebtedness owing to Union Bank, N.A.

The entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full before March 1, 2011. The outstanding principal amount due under the
revolving facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.00% (depending on the applicable leverage ratio). At June 30,
2010, there was $64.1 million outstanding under this revolving facility which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 1.1%.

The obligations of ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. under the Loan Agreement are secured
by substantially all of the personal property of each of ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc., and
are guaranteed by ResMed Inc. under an Amended and Restated Continuing Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, which guaranty is secured by a
pledge of the equity interests in ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. held by ResMed Inc. The
Loan Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Inc. maintain
certain financial ratios, including a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), a fixed charge coverage
ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and a minimum ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc.
EBITDA.

Table of Contents

The entire principal amount of the revolving facility and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the
event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Loan Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make
payments when due, the occurrence of a material default in the performance of any covenants in the Loan Agreement or related amendments
or a 35% or more change in control of ResMed Inc., ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. or ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. At
June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Tranche A is a Euro (“EUR”) 50 million five−year term loan facility that refinanced all amounts outstanding under a syndicated facility
agreement dated May 16, 2005, between ResMed Limited and HSBC Bank Australia Limited, to fund the obligations of our wholly owned
French subsidiary ResMed SAS under its agreement to acquire Saime SAS. Tranche A bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits
denominated in EUR plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of ResMed Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the “ResMed Group”) for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire outstanding
principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At June 30, 2010, the Tranche A facility loan had an amount outstanding of EUR
15.0 million, equivalent to approximately U.S. dollars (“USD”) 18.4 million, which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 1.2%.

Tranche B is a USD 15 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and other asset
acquisitions by the ResMed Group. Tranche B bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in EUR, Australian dollars,
USD or British Pounds Sterling plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group
for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8,
2011. At June 30, 2010, there was USD 9.0 million outstanding under this loan facility, which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately
1.1%.

Simultaneous with the Syndicated Facility Agreement, ResMed Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank Australia
Limited for revolving, letter of credit and overdraft facilities up to a total commitment of 6.5 million Australian dollars, and ResMed (UK)
Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank plc for a revolving cash advance facility for a total commitment of up to
3 million British Pounds Sterling. At June 30, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under either of these facilities.

On September 30, 2008, our wholly−owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, agreed to amend and restate the Syndicated Facility
Agreement entered into on June 8, 2006. The amended and restated agreement (“First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility
Agreement”) with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Sydney Branch as financier and HSBC Bank Australia Limited as

facility agent and security trustee, provided for an additional Tranche D term loan facility in the amount of USD 50 million.

On September 30, 2009, ResMed Limited agreed to amend and restate for a second time the Syndicated Facility Agreement. The second
amended and restated agreement (“Second Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement”) provides for the extension of our Tranche
D term loan facility in the amount of USD 50 million for an additional 12 month period and to increase the interest rate applicable to the
Tranche D portion of the loan facility. The financier continues to have the right to assign part or all of its rights and/or obligations under the
Second Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement to other financial institutions. The extended Tranche D loan facility bears
interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits denominated in USD, plus a margin of 2.25% or 2.50%, depending on the ratio of the total debt
to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount of
the additional loan facility must be repaid in full by September 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, there was USD 30.0 million outstanding under the
Tranche D loan facility, which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 2.6%.

The Syndicated Facility Agreement is secured by a pledge of one hundred percent of the shares of ResMed Inc.’s subsidiary, ResMed Paris
SAS (formerly Saime SA), pursuant to a pledge agreement. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also contains customary covenants, including
certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Limited maintains certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service cover
ratio, a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the loan and any accrued,
but unpaid, interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the
Syndicated Facility Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, breaches of
representations, warranties or covenants, the occurrence of certain insolvency events, the occurrence of an event or change which could have a
material adverse effect on ResMed Limited and its subsidiaries, and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp.,
ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited, Take Air Medical Handels−GmbH or ResMed Paris SAS.

The obligations of ResMed Limited under the loan facility are subject to two guarantee and indemnity agreements, one on behalf of ResMed
Inc. and its U.S. subsidiary, ResMed Corp., and another on behalf of ResMed’s international subsidiaries, ResMed SAS (other than Tranche
C), ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK) Limited and Take Air Medical Handels−GmbH. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with
our debt covenants.

We expect to satisfy all of our short−term liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

Stock−Based Compensation Costs
We have granted stock options and restricted stock units to personnel, including officers and directors, under the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive
Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”), the 2006 Incentive Award Plan,

− 42 −

Table of Contents

as amended (the “2006 Plan”) and the Amended and Restated ResMed Inc. 2006 Incentive Award Plan (the “2006 Amended Plan”). These
options and restricted stock units have expiration dates of seven years from the date of grant and vest over one or four years. We granted the
options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant. We have also offered to our personnel, including
officers, the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount under the ResMed Inc. 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“ESPP”).

We measure the compensation expense of all stock−based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize the compensation expense
over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black−Scholes valuation model.
Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, using the straight−line method for stock−based awards. The fair value of
restricted stock units is equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options granted under our stock option plans and purchase rights granted under the ESPP is estimated on the date of
the grant using the Black−Scholes option−pricing model assuming no dividends and using the following assumptions:

Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical volatilities of our stock and the implied volatilities from traded options of our
stock corresponding to the expected term of the options. We use a combination of the historic and implied volatilities as we believe the
addition of the implied volatility is more representative of our future stock price trends. While there is a tradable market of options on our
common stock, less emphasis is placed on the implied volatility of these options due to the relative low volumes of these traded options and
the difference in the terms compared to our employee options. The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options
granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. The risk−free rate is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

Tax Expense
Our income tax rate is governed by the laws of the regions in which our income is recognized. To date, a substantial portion of our income has
been subject to income tax in Australia where the statutory rate was 30% in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008. During fiscal years 2010, 2009
and 2008, our consolidated effective tax rate has fluctuated between approximately 27% and approximately 30%. These fluctuations have
resulted from, and future effective tax rates will depend upon, numerous factors, including the amount of research and development
expenditures for which a an additional Australian tax deduction is available, the geographic mix of taxable income and other tax credits or
benefits available to us under applicable tax laws.

− 43 −

Table of Contents

We account 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.

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 adjustments, warranty obligations, goodwill, impaired assets, intangible assets, income taxes, deferred tax valuation allowances and
stock−based compensation costs.

We state these accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated 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
consolidated 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 a 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 goodwill, intangibles and other long−lived assets. 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.

− 44 −

Table of Contents

(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.

(6) Revenue Recognition. Revenue on product sales is recorded at the time of shipment, at which time title transfers to the customer.
Revenue on product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. 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 rental unit contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the rental contract. Revenue from sale of
marketing and distribution rights is initially deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the life of the contract. Freight charges billed to
customers are included in revenue. All freight−related expenses are charged to cost of sales.

We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products or similarly
offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or activities. However, as part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for
large orders, one time special pricing to support new product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price−breaks
for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. Our products are predominantly
therapy−based equipment and require no installation. As such, we have no significant installation obligations.

(7) Stock−Based Compensation. We measure the compensation of all stock−based awards at fair value on date of grant. Such value is
recognized as compensation expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate the fair value of employee stock
options using a Black−Scholes valuation model. The fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as other
assumptions including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards and the estimated period of time that we expect
employees to hold their stock options. The risk−free interest rate assumption we use is based upon U.S. Treasury yield curve appropriate for
the expected life of the awards. Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical volatilities of our stock and the implied
volatilities from tradeable options of our stock corresponding to the expected term of the options. We use a combination of the historic and
implied volatilities as the addition of the implied volatility is more representative of our future stock price trends. In order to determine the
estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options, we have used historical rates by employee groups. The
estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results differ from our estimates, such amounts
will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The aforementioned inputs entered into the option valuation
model we use to fair value our stock awards are subjective estimates and changes to

− 45 −

Table of Contents

these estimates will cause the fair value of our stock awards and related stock−based compensation expense we record to vary.

(8) Income Tax. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s
evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not
that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being
realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions
where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated financial
statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, the FASB amended the authoritative guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and
arrangements that include software elements. This new guidance permits prospective or retrospective adoption. We will prospectively adopt
this guidance from July 1, 2010 and do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair−value
measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair−value measurements and information on purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair−value measurements. The FASB also clarified existing
fair−value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The guidance related to the
Level 3 reconciliation will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2011. The remaining guidance has been adopted and the impact
was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and financial disclosures.

Off−Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2010, we are not involved in any off−balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S−K
promulgated by the SEC.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET AND BUSINESS RISKS
Foreign Currency Market Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, although the financial statements of our non−U.S. subsidiaries are maintained in their respective
local currencies. 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 and Singapore manufacturing activities and
international sales operations. We have established a foreign currency hedging program using purchased currency options and forward
contracts to hedge foreign−currency−denominated financial assets, liabilities and manufacturing expenditures. The goal of this hedging
program is to economically manage the financial impact of foreign currency exposures denominated in Euros and Australian dollars. 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. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The
foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets or other
liabilities. All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net on our consolidated
statements of income.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to risk associated with changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents and debt. At June 30,
2010, we had total long−term debt, including the current portion of those obligations, of $121.7 million. All of this debt is subject to variable
interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during the year ended June 30, 2010, would not have a material impact on the fair
value of our debt obligations. We have no interest rate hedging agreements.

Credit Market Risk
At June 30, 2010, we held a number of investment securities in AAA rated auction securities with UBS Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”).
During November 2008, we accepted an offer that gave us a right to sell our investment securities back to UBS at full par value after June 29,
2010. In accordance with the agreement reached with UBS during November 2008 we sold our securities back to UBS at full par value on
June 30, 2010. We have recognized the full par value of the securities within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 for timely decisions regarding required

disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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 is
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost−benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a−15(b), 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 as of June 30, 2010. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2010.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined
in Rules 13a−15(f) and 15d−15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. Management based
this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design
of ResMed Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial
reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2010.

KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, who audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements of ResMed,
Inc. included in this report, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
ResMed Inc.:
We have audited ResMed Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). ResMed Inc.’s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included
in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, ResMed Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets
of ResMed Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three−year period ended June 30, 2010, and the related financial statement schedule, and our report dated
August 16, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule.

RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ResMed Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three−year period
ended June 30, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule II. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ResMed Inc. and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three−year period ended
June 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), ResMed Inc.’s internal control
over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated August 16, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

ResMed Inc. (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1994 as a holding company for
the ResMed Group. Through our subsidiaries, we design, manufacture and market equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep−disordered
breathing and other respiratory disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea. Our manufacturing operations are located in Australia, Singapore, France
and the United States. Major distribution and sales sites are located in the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland,
Australia, Norway and Sweden.

(2)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

(b)

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 in 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 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from management’s estimates.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is generally recorded upon shipment, at which time title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Revenue on
product sales which require customer acceptance is not recorded until acceptance is received. 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 rental unit contracts is 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. Freight charges billed to customers are
included in revenue. All shipping and handling related expenses are charged to cost of sales. Taxes assessed by government authorities that are
imposed on and concurrent with revenue−producing transactions, such as sales and value added taxes, are reported on a net basis (excluded
from revenue).
We do not recognize revenues to the extent that we offer a right of return or other recourse with respect to the sale of our products, other than
returns for product defects or other warranty claims, nor do we recognize revenues if we offer variable sale prices for subsequent events or
activities. However, as part of our sales processes we may provide upfront discounts for large orders, one time special pricing to support new
product introductions, sales rebates for centralized purchasing entities or price−breaks for regular order volumes. The costs of all such programs
are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. Our products are predominantly therapy−based equipment and require no installation. As such, we
have no significant installation obligations.

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments and are 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(d)

(e)

(f)

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally by the first−in, first−out method, or net realizable value. Finished goods and
work−in−process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. We review and provide for any product obsolescence in
our manufacturing and distribution operations with assessments of individual products and components (based on estimated future usage and
sales) being performed throughout the year.

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 except for buildings which are depreciated over an estimated
useful life of 40 years and leasehold improvements which are amortized over the lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred.
We capitalize interest in connection with the construction of facilities. Actual construction costs incurred relating to facilities under active
development qualify for interest capitalization. Interest capitalization ceases when the construction of a facility is complete and available for
use. During the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we capitalized $Nil, $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of interest relating
to such construction costs.

Intangible Assets
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 or product retirement, the unamortized costs are written off immediately.
Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight−line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to nine years. We
evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of
useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairment of intangible assets
has been identified during any of the periods presented.

(g) Goodwill

We conducted our annual review for goodwill impairment during the final quarter of fiscal 2010. In conducting our review of goodwill
impairment, we identified reporting units, being components of our operating segment, as each of the entities acquired and giving rise to the
goodwill. The fair value for each reporting unit was determined based on estimated discounted cash flows. Our goodwill impairment review
involved a two−step process as follows:

Step 1−

Compare the fair value for each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. For each reporting unit where the carrying
value, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, move on to step 2. If a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds the
carrying value, no further work is performed and no impairment charge is necessary.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(h)

(i)

(j)

Step 2−

Allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to its identifiable tangible and non−goodwill intangible assets and liabilities. This will
derive an implied fair value for the goodwill. Then, compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the
carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied
fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized for the excess.

The results of Step 1 of our annual review indicated that no impaired goodwill exists.

Foreign Currency
The consolidated financial statements of our 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 detailed in Note 6, and are included in accumulated
other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets 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.

Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and restricted stock
units.
The weighted average shares used to calculate basic earnings per share were 75,454,000, 75,629,000 and 77,378,000 for the years ended
June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is attributable to the
impact of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units during the periods presented. Stock options and restricted stock units had the
effect of increasing the number of shares used in the calculation (by application of the treasury stock method) by 2,095,000, 1,484,000 and
1,334,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The weighted average number of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share were 498,000, 7,502,000 and 4,944,000 for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as the effect would have been
anti−dilutive.

Financial Instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair
value because of their short−term nature. The carrying value of long−term debt approximates the fair value as the principal amounts
outstanding are subject to variable interest rates that are based on market rates which are regularly reset. Foreign currency option contracts are
marked to market and therefore reflect their fair value. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We enter into various types of foreign exchange contracts in managing our foreign exchange risk, including derivative financial instruments
encompassing forward exchange contracts and foreign currency options.
The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to protect us from adverse exchange rate fluctuations with respect to net cash
movements resulting from the sales of products to foreign customers and Australian manufacturing activities. We enter into foreign currency
option contracts to hedge anticipated sales and manufacturing costs, principally denominated in Australian dollars, Euros and Pounds. The
terms of such foreign currency option contracts generally do not exceed three years.
Our foreign currency derivatives portfolio represents a cash flow hedge program against the net cash flow of our international manufacturing
operations. We have determined our hedge program to be a non−effective hedge. The foreign currency derivatives portfolio is recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value and included in other assets. Purchases of foreign currency derivatives and proceeds received from the
exercise of foreign currency derivatives are classified as an Investing activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Table of Contents

RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives are recorded within other income, net in our consolidated statements of
income.

(m)

(n)

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities 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.

Investment Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of our 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 we do 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.
At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the investments in debt securities were classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within prepaid
expenses and other current assets and investment securities, respectively.

(o) Warranty

Estimated future warranty costs related to certain products are charged to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.
The liability for warranty costs are included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets.
Changes in the liability for product warranty for the year ended June 30, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance at July 1, 2009
Warranty accruals for the year ended June 30, 2010

Impairment of Long−Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate 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

F10

Table of Contents

RESMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(2)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

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 exceeds 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)

(r)

Cost−Method Investments
The aggregate carrying amount of our cost−method investments at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $1.7 million and $2.2 million,
respectively. We review the carrying value of these investments at each balance sheet date. In fiscal 2010 and 2009, we recognized $0.3 million
and $1.3 million, respectively, of impairment losses related to our cost−method investments, which include investments in privately held
service companies, research companies and public companies. The expense associated with this impairment has been included in the other
income, net line within the consolidated statements of income. These were based on the determination that the declines in the fair value of these
investments were other−than temporary. We have determined, subsequent to the impairment charge, that the fair value of our remaining
investments exceed their carrying values.

Stock−based Employee Compensation
We have granted stock options and restricted stock units to personnel, including officers and directors, under the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive
Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”), the 2006 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”) and the Amended and Restated ResMed Inc.
2006 Incentive Award Plan (the “2006 Amended Plan”). These options and restricted stock units have expiration dates of seven years from the
date of grant and vest over one or four years. We granted the options with the exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date
of grant. We have also offered to our personnel, including officers, the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount under the
ResMed Inc. 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”).
We measure the compensation expense of all stock−based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize the compensation expense
over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black−Scholes valuation model.
Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, using the straight−line method for stock−based awards. The fair value of restricted
stock units is equal to the market value of the underlying shares as determined at the date of grant.
The fair value of stock options granted under our stock option plans and purchase rights granted under the ESPP is estimated on the date of the
grant using the Black−Scholes valuation model assuming no dividends and using the following assumptions:

Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical volatilities of our stock and the implied volatilities from tradeable options of our
stock corresponding to the expected term of the options. We use a combination of the historic and implied volatilities as the addition of the
implied volatility is more representative of our future stock price trends. While there is a tradeable market of options on our common stock less
emphasis is placed on the implied volatility of these options due to the relative low volumes of these traded options and the difference in the
terms compared to our employee options. The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to
be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. The risk−free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

(s)

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 a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the FASB amended the authoritative guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and
arrangements that include software elements. This new guidance permits prospective or retrospective adoption. We will prospectively adopt this
guidance from July 1, 2010 and do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair−value measurements
including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair−value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair−value measurements. The FASB also clarified existing fair−value measurement
disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The disclosure requirements related to the Level 3
reconciliation will be effective July 1, 2011. The remaining guidance has been adopted and the impact was not material to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and financial disclosures.

Investment Securities
We held a number of investment securities in AAA rated auction securities with UBS which had various maturities between July 2039 and November
2047. During November 2008, we accepted an offer that gave us a right to sell our investment securities back to UBS at full par value after June 29,
2010. In accordance

with the agreement reached with UBS during November 2008 we sold our securities back to UBS at full par value on June 30, 2010. At June 30,

On October 1, 2009, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Laboratoires Narval SA. Based in France, Laboratoires Narval manufactures and
distributes a mandibular repositioning device (“MRD”) that offers a solution to patients for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”), especially
for those with mild OSA. With this acquisition, we add another therapy to supplement our existing positive airway pressure−based solutions,
providing a broader offering for this patient group. The total purchase price was EUR 8 million in cash with potential contingent consideration cash
payments of EUR 2 million based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones. In relation to the potential contingent consideration, we have
recognized a liability of EUR 1.4 million, which is based on the expectation that 70% of the revenue milestones will be achieved. The acquisition is
not considered a material business combination. The acquisition of Laboratoires Narval has been accounted for using purchase accounting and is
included in our consolidated financial statements from October 1, 2009. We have not incurred any material acquisition−related costs in connection
with the acquisition of Laboratoires Narval.

2006 Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement (“the Loan Agreement”) with Union Bank, N.A (formerly Union Bank of
California, N.A). The Loan Agreement was modified in order that the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was revised to exclude all indebtedness
owing to Union Bank, N.A.
The entire outstanding principal amount must be repaid in full before March 1, 2011. The outstanding principal amount due under the revolving
facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.00% (depending on the applicable leverage ratio). At June 30, 2010, there was
$64.1 million outstanding under this revolving facility, which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 1.1%.
The obligations of ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. under the Loan Agreement are secured by
substantially all of the personal property of each of ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc., and are
guaranteed by ResMed Inc. under an Amended and Restated Continuing Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, which guaranty is secured by a pledge of
the equity interests in ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. held by ResMed Inc. The Loan Agreement
also contains customary covenants, including certain financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Inc. maintain certain financial ratios,
including a maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), a fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net
worth, and a minimum ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. and ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. EBITDA.
The entire principal amount of the revolving facility and any accrued but unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of
the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Loan Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when
due, the occurrence of a material default in the performance of any covenants in the Loan Agreement or related amendments or a 35% or more change
in control of ResMed Inc., ResMed Corp., ResMed Motor Technologies Inc. or ResMed EAP Holdings Inc. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance
with our debt covenants.

Syndicated Facility
On June 8, 2006, our wholly owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, entered into a Syndicated Facility Agreement with HSBC Bank Australia
Limited as original financier, facility agent and security trustee, that provides for a loan in three tranches (the “Syndicated Facility Agreement”).
Tranche A is a Euro (“EUR”) 50 million five−year term loan facility that refinanced all amounts outstanding under a previous facility. Tranche A
bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for outstanding principal amounts denominated in EUR plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the
ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of ResMed Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “ResMed Group”) for the most recently completed fiscal year for the
applicable interest period. The total outstanding principal amount of Tranche A must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At June 30, 2010, the Tranche
A facility loan had an amount outstanding of EUR 15.0 million, equivalent to approximately U.S. dollars (“USD”) 18.4 million, which was bearing
interest at a rate of approximately 1.2%.
Tranche B is a USD 15 million term loan facility that may only be used for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions
by the ResMed Group. Tranche B bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for outstanding principal amounts denominated in EUR, Australian dollars,
USD or British Pounds Sterling plus a margin of 0.80% or 0.90%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed Group for the
most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount must be repaid in full on June 8, 2011. At June 30,
2010 there was USD 9.0 million outstanding under the Tranche B loan facility, which was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 1.1%.

Tranche C was a USD 60 million term loan facility that could only be used for the purpose of the payment by ResMed Limited of a dividend to
ResMed Holdings Limited, which would ultimately be paid to ResMed Inc. Tranche C bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for deposits
denominated in EUR, Australian dollars or USD plus a margin of 0.70% or 0.80%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the ResMed
Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire outstanding principal amount was repaid in full during
the year ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Tranche C loan facility was no longer available.
Simultaneous with the Syndicated Facility Agreement, ResMed Limited entered into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank Australia Limited
for revolving, letter of credit and overdraft facilities up to a total commitment of 6.5 million Australian dollars, and ResMed (UK) Limited entered
into a working capital agreement with HSBC Bank plc for a revolving cash advance facility for a total commitment of up to 3 million British Pounds
Sterling. At June 30, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under either of these facilities.
On September 30, 2008, our wholly−owned Australian subsidiary, ResMed Limited, agreed to amend and restate the Syndicated Facility Agreement
entered into on June 8, 2006. The amended and restated agreement (“First Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement”) with the Hong
Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Sydney Branch as financier and HSBC Bank Australia Limited as facility agent and security trustee,
provided for an additional Tranche D term loan facility in the amount of USD 50 million.
On September 30, 2009, ResMed Limited, agreed to amend and restate for a second time the Syndicated Facility Agreement. The second amended
and restated agreement (“Second Amended and Restated Syndicated Facility Agreement”) provides for the extension of our Tranche D term loan
facility in the amount of USD 50 million for an additional 12 month period and to increase the interest rate applicable to the Tranche D portion of the
loan facility. The financier continues to have the right to assign part or all of its rights and/or obligations under the Second Amended and Restated
Syndicated Facility Agreement to other financial institutions. The extended Tranche D loan facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR for
outstanding principal amounts denominated in USD, plus a margin of 2.25% or 2.50%, depending on the ratio of the total debt to EBITDA of the
ResMed Group for the most recently completed fiscal year for the applicable interest period. The entire principal amount of the additional loan facility
must be repaid in full by September 30, 2010. At June 30, 2010, there was USD 30.0 million outstanding under the Tranche D loan facility, which
was bearing interest at a rate of approximately 2.6%.
The Syndicated Facility Agreement is secured by a pledge of one hundred percent of the shares of ResMed Inc.’s subsidiary, ResMed Paris SAS
(formerly Saime SAS), pursuant to a pledge agreement. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also contains customary covenants, including certain
financial covenants and an obligation that ResMed Limited maintains certain financial ratios, including a minimum debt service cover ratio, a
maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDA and a minimum tangible net worth. The entire principal amount of the loan and any accrued, but unpaid,
interest may be declared immediately due and payable in the event of the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Syndicated Facility
Agreement. Events of default include, among other items, failure to make payments when due, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants,
the occurrence of certain insolvency events, the occurrence of an event or change which could have a material adverse effect on ResMed Limited and
its subsidiaries, and if ResMed Inc. ceases to control ResMed Limited, ResMed Corp., ResMed SAS, ResMed GmbH & Co. KG, ResMed (UK)
Limited, Take Air Medical Handels−GmbH or ResMed Paris SAS.

Common Stock. On May 27, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, authorizing us to acquire up to an aggregate
of 10.0 million shares of ResMed Inc. common stock. The program allows us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time for cash in
the open market, or in negotiated or block transactions, as market and business conditions warrant. This program cancels and replaces our previous
share repurchase program previously authorized on June 6, 2002 for 8.0 million shares. The new program authorizes us to purchase shares in addition
to the shares we repurchased under our previous program. There is no expiration date for this program. All share repurchases after May 29, 2009 will
be executed in accordance with this program.

Preferred Stock. In April 1997, the Board of Directors authorized 2,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. No such shares were issued
or outstanding at June 30, 2010.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP was approved at the annual meeting of the stockholders of ResMed Inc. on November 18,
2009, as an amendment to the previously approved employee stock purchase plan. Under the ESPP, participants are offered the right to purchase
shares of our common stock at a discount during successive offering periods. Each offering period under the ESPP will be for a period of time
determined by the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee of no less than 3 months and no more than 27 months. The purchase price for our
common stock under the ESPP will be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant or 85% of the fair market
value of our common stock on the date of purchase. An individual participant cannot subscribe for more than $25,000 in common stock during any
calendar year. As part of the approval of the ESPP at the annual meeting of the stockholders of ResMed Inc. on November 18, 2009, the number of
shares of our common stock available for grant under the ESPP increased by 600,000 shares, from 500,000 shares to 1,100,000 shares. The number of
securities remaining available for future issuance under the ESPP at June 30, 2010 is 540,000. During fiscal year 2010, we issued 162,000 shares to
our employees in two offerings and we recognized $1.9 million of stock compensation expense associated with the ESPP.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”). We have granted stock options and RSU’s to personnel, including officers and directors, in
accordance with the 2006 Plan, the 2006 Amended Plan and the 2009 Plan, which was approved at the annual meeting of the stockholders of ResMed
Inc. on November 18, 2009. These options and restricted stock units have expiration dates of seven years from the date of grant and vest over one or
four years. We have granted the options with an exercise price equal to the market value as determined at the date of grant.

common stock delivered in settlement of any “full−value award,” which is any award other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or other
award for which the holder pays the intrinsic value and (ii) one share for each share of common stock delivered in settlement of all other awards. The
maximum number of shares, which may be subject to awards granted under the 2009 Plan to any individual during any calendar year, may not exceed
1,500,000 shares of our common stock (except in a participant’s initial year of hiring up to 2,250,000 shares of our common stock may be granted).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

At June 30, 2010, we had $6,487,000 of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and $9,372,000 of non−U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which
expire in various years through 2023 or carry forward indefinitely. We also have foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3,055,000. The foreign tax
credit carryforwards have expiration dates through 2020.
The valuation allowance at June 30, 2010 relates to a provision for uncertainty as to the utilization of foreign tax credits of $3,055,000, net operating
loss carryforwards for certain non−U.S. countries of $1,562,000 and capital loss items of $542,000. We believe that it is more likely than not that the
benefits of deferred tax assets, net of any valuation allowance, will be realized.
We have not provided for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings from non−U.S. subsidiaries indefinitely invested
outside the United States as of June 30, 2010. The total amount of these undistributed earnings at June 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $667
million. Should we repatriate foreign earnings, we would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period management determined that we would
repatriate earnings.
In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if
management’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction
based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected
to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for annual periods.
The following table indicates the changes to our unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. The term
“unrecognized tax benefits”, UTB, refers to the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit
measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Included in the balance at June 30, 2010, are tax positions of $1.4 million that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Also included in the
balance is $1.2 million of temporary differences, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the
timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter
deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
For fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a benefit of $0.1 million ($0.1 million, net of tax benefit) of interest and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2010, we have accrued approximately $0.8 million ($0.5 million net of tax
benefit) for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no
longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for tax years prior to fiscal year 2006, and no longer subject to state income tax examinations
for the tax years prior to fiscal year 2005. With few exceptions, including the German tax assessment, we are no longer subject to foreign income tax
examinations for fiscal years before 2003. During September and October 2004, we began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of our
German subsidiaries by the German tax authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain aspects of these assessment notices are being contested
and appealed to the German tax authority office. As the outcome of the appeal cannot be predicted with certainty, any tax issues resolved in a manner
not consistent with our expectations may require us to adjust our provision for income tax in the period of resolution.
Within the next 12 months, we anticipate a potential decrease of approximately $1.4 million in the unrecognized tax benefit due to statute of
limitations expiration relating to the timing of certain amortization deductions of $0.8 million and $0.6 million for other items. These potential
decreases will potentially impact the effective tax rate by $0.6 million, which includes the potential reduction in accrued interest. We do not anticipate
any other significant changes within the next 12 months.

(15) Employee Retirement Plans

The Company contributes to a number of employee retirement plans for the benefit of its employees. Details of the main plans are as follows:
(1) Australia − The Company contributes to defined contribution plans for each employee resident in Australia. All Australian employees, after
serving a qualifying period, are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death. Employees may contribute additional funds to the plans. The
Company contributes to the plans at the rate of 9% of the salaries of all Australian employees. Total Company contributions to the plans for the years
ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were $6,508,230, $4,186,000 and $5,907,000, respectively.
(2) United Kingdom − The Company contributes to a defined contribution plan for each permanent United Kingdom employee. All employees, after
serving a three−month qualifying period, are entitled to benefit on retirement, disability or death. Employees may contribute additional funds to the
plan. The Company contributes to the plan at the rate of 5% of the salaries of all United Kingdom employees. Total Company contributions to the
plan were $210,351, $164,000 and $273,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(3) United States − The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan available to substantially all domestic employees. Company contributions to
this plan are based on a percentage of employee contributions to a maximum of 3% of the employee’s salary. Total Company contributions to the plan
were $1,969,176, $1,756,000 and $1,259,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(4) Switzerland − The Company sponsors a fixed return defined contribution fund for each permanent Swiss employee. As part of the Company’s
contribution to the fund, the Company guarantees a fixed 3% net return on accumulated contributions per annum. The Company contributes to the
plan at variable rates that have averaged 10% of salaries over the last three years. Total Company contributions to the plan were $311,252, $375,000
and $343,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company operates solely in the sleep−disordered breathing sector of the respiratory medicine industry. The Company therefore believes that,
given the single market focus of its operations and the inter−dependence of its products, the Company operates as a single operating segment. The
Company assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of a single operating entity.
Sales of flow generators for the years ended June 30, 2010, June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were $633.6 million, $532.1 million and $484.4 million,
respectively. Sales of mask systems, motors and other accessories for the years ended June 30, 2010, June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were $458.8

(18) Legal Actions and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. While the results of this litigation cannot be predicted
with certainty, we believe that their final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
During September and October 2004, we began receiving tax assessment notices for the audit of one of our German subsidiaries by the German tax
authorities for the years 1996 through 1998. Certain aspects of these assessment notices are being contested and appealed to the German tax authority
office. As the outcome of the appeal cannot be predicted with certainty, any tax issues resolved in a manner not consistent with our expectations may
require us to adjust our provision for income tax in the period of resolution.
In February 2007, the University of Sydney commenced legal action in the Federal Court of Australia against us, claiming breach of a license
agreement and infringement of certain intellectual property. The claim has been amended to include an allegation of breach of confidentiality. The
university is seeking various types of relief, including an injunction against manufacturing, supplying, offering for sale, selling or exporting certain
mask devices, payment of license fees, damages or an account of profits, interest, costs and declaration of a constructive trust over and assignment of
certain intellectual property. In October 2007, we filed a defense denying the university’s claim, as well as a cross−claim against the university
seeking an order for rectification of the contract and alleging the university violated the Australian Trade Practices Act. The matter is ongoing. We
have not recognized a liability in relation to this matter at June 30, 2010 and we do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, Vaughn Medical Equipment Repair Service, L.L.C., filed a complaint in the U.S. District court in Louisiana, against us and other
defendants, alleging, among other things, anti−competitive conduct, conspiracy, defamation and tortious interference. We have filed our initial
response to the suit, asking the court to dismiss the case. We do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial statements.

(19) Voluntary Product Recall Expenses

On April 23, 2007, we initiated a worldwide voluntary recall of approximately 300,000 units of our early production S8 flow generators used for the
treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. In S8 devices manufactured between July 2004 and May 15, 2006, there is a remote potential for a short circuit
in the power supply connector. The initial estimated cost of this action was $59.7 million which was recognized as a charge to cost of sales in the
consolidated statement of income year ended June 30, 2007. During the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we recognized $Nil additional
charges, respectively. These costs represented our best estimate of probable costs based on available data and accounted for factors such as expected
return rates for the affected units, unit replacement costs, legal, consulting, logistical and temporary contractor expenses directly associated with the
recall. We expect negligible additional costs associated with the recall and at June 30, 2010 there is no remaining recall accrual.
Following is a summary of the liabilities related to the voluntary product recall that were recorded during the years ended June 30, 2008, June 30,

In determining the fair value measurements of our financial assets and liabilities, we consider the principal and most advantageous market in which
we transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the financial asset or liability. We maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchies of inputs used to determine fair value are
as follows:

• Level 1:

• Level 2:

Input prices quoted in an active market for identical financial assets or liabilities;

Inputs other than prices quoted in Level 1, such as prices quoted for similar financial assets and liabilities in active markets, prices for
identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data

We determine the fair value of our financial assets as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents − The valuation used for our cash, short−term deposits and other money market funds are based on the amounts invested
due to their short term nature and there is an active market for these financial instruments.
Investment securities − These securities represent our auction rate securities as described in Note 4. At June 30, 2010, we held a number of investment
securities in AAA rated auction securities with UBS. During November 2008, we accepted an offer that gave us a right to sell our investment
securities back to UBS at full par value after June 29, 2010. In accordance with the agreement reached with UBS, we sold our securities back to UBS
at full par value on June 30, 2010. We have recognized the full par value amount of the securities within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.
At June 30, 2009, we had investments totaling $5.0 million at par value with an estimated fair value of $4.3 million. The value of these securities are
calculated by third party valuation models based on observable market prices and inputs including future cash flows, yields and spreads.
Cost−method investments − These investments include our holdings in privately held service companies and research companies that are not
exchange traded and, therefore, are not supported with observable market prices. However, these investments are valued by reference to their net asset
values which can be market supported and observable inputs including future cash flows.
Foreign currency options − These financial instruments are valued using third party valuation models based on market observable inputs, including
interest rate curves, on market spot currency prices, volatilities and credit risk.

(21) Subsequent Events

(22) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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 and forward contracts to hedge foreign−currency−denominated financial assets,
liabilities and manufacturing expenditures. The terms of such foreign currency hedging contracts generally do not exceed three years. The goal of this
hedging program is to economically manage the financial impact of foreign currency exposures denominated in Euros, Australian dollars and British
Pounds. 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.

We do not designate these foreign currency contracts as hedges. All movements in the fair value of the foreign currency instruments are recorded
within other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We held foreign currency instruments with notional amounts totaling $211.5 million and $191.7 million at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009,
respectively, to hedge foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts mature at various dates prior to June 30, 2013.

We are exposed to credit−related losses in the event of non−performance by counter parties to financial instruments. The credit exposure of foreign
currency derivatives at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $10.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively, which represents the positive fair value of
our foreign currency derivatives. These values are included in the current and non−current balances of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
We minimize counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative transactions with major financial institutions and, as such, we do not expect material
losses as a result of default by our counterparties.
