To the Participants and Administrator

247
248
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
249
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
250
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
251
of the Medtronic, Inc. and Participating Employers Supplemental Retirement Plan
252
(the "Plan") at April 30, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available
253
for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
254
generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the
255
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
256
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
257
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
258
accepted in the United States which require that we plan and perform the audit
259
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
260
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
261
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
262
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
263
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
264
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
265
266
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
267
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets Held
268
For Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
269
is not a part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
270
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
271
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
272
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
273
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
274
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
275
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
276
taken as a whole.

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
411
- -------------------------------
412
413
The Medtronic, Inc. and Participating Employers Supplemental Retirement Plan
414
(the Plan) is a defined contribution plan created by Medtronic, Inc. (the
415
Company). It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
416
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan provides for a regular savings program
417
whereby participants may contribute between 2% and 12% of their monthly salary.
418
Beginning May 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to allow employees to contribute up
419
to 15% of their eligible compensation. The trustee of the Plan is Vanguard
420
Fiduciary Trust Company (Vanguard Trust), hereinafter referred to as the
421
"Trustee". In fiscal years 2000 and 1999, the company paid certain
422
administrative expenses of the Plan.
423
424
Employees receive a matching allocation of at least 50% of the employee
425
contribution, up to 6% of compensation. Employees may receive an additional
426
allocation of up to 150% of the amount contributed by the employee (up to 6% of
427
compensation), if certain performance goals are achieved. The Company match
428
totaled $32,046,000 and $21,537,000 for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively
429
and was made in the form of an annual allocation of Medtronic stock to the
430
Employee Stock Ownership Plan account.
431
432
Participants are 20% vested in the Company contributions upon completing one
433
year of service. Additional vesting in the Company contributions accrues at the
434
rate of 20% per year thereafter and participants are fully vested on all
435
Company's contributions after five years. Participants are 100% vested in their
436
own contributions at all times. Participant forfeitures of nonvested amounts
437
reduce the Company contribution. During fiscal years 2000 and 1999, $529,000 and
438
$405,000 were forfeited by terminating employees before these amounts became
439
vested.
440
441
During the plan years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, participants were able to
442
allocate their contributions among the following investment options:
443
444
MEDTRONIC COMMON STOCK FUND: Invests in Medtronic, Inc. common stock to provide
445
the possibility of long-term growth through increases in the value of the stock
446
and the reinvestment of its dividends. Among the factors affecting the stock's
447
potential growth are the company's ability to expand its commitment to new
448
technology and products and to enter new markets.
449
450
VANGUARD 500 INDEX FUND: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and income
451
from dividends by holding all of the 500 stocks that make up the unmanaged
452
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a widely recognized benchmark
453
of U.S. stock market performance.
454
455
VANGUARD PRIMECAP FUND: Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in stocks
456
of companies with above-average prospects for continued earnings growth, strong
457
industry positions, and skilled management teams.
458
459
VANGUARD WELLINGTON FUND: Seeks to provide income and long-term growth of
460
capital without undue risk to capital by investing about 65% of its assets in
461
stocks and the remaining 35% in bonds.
462
463

465
<PAGE>
466
467
468
VANGUARD WINDSOR II FUND: Seeks to provide income and long-term growth of
469
capital and income from dividends by investing in a diversified group of
470
out-of-favor stocks of large-capitalization companies. The stocks generally sell
471
at prices below the overall market average compared to their dividend income and
472
future return potential.
473
474
VANGUARD EXPLORER FUND: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by
475
investing in a diversified group of small-company stocks with prospects for
476
above-average growth.
477
478
VANGUARD INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital
479
by investing in stocks of high-quality, seasoned companies based outside the
480
United States. Stocks are selected from more than 15 countries.
481
482
VANGUARD U.S. GROWTH FUND: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by
483
investing in large, high-quality, seasoned U.S. companies with records of
484
exceptional growth and above-average prospects for future growth.
485
486
VANGUARD EXTENDED MARKET INDEX FUND: Seeks to provide long-term growth of
487
capital by attempting to match the performance of the Wilshire 4500 Equity
488
Index, an unmanaged index made up mostly of mid- and small-capitalization
489
companies.
490
491
VANGUARD TOTAL BOND MARKET INDEX FUND: Seeks to provide a high level of interest
492
income by attempting to match the performance of the unmanaged Lehman Brothers
493
Aggregate Bond Index, which is a widely recognized measure of the entire taxable
494
U.S. bond market.
495
496
VANGUARD WELLESLEY INCOME FUND: Seeks to provide a high level of income,
497
long-term growth of income, and moderate long-term growth of capital by
498
investing 60% to 65% of its assets in high-quality long-term and
499
intermediate-term bonds and the remainder in dividend-paying stocks.
500
501
MEDTRONIC INTEREST INCOME FUND: Seeks to preserve the value of capital and
502
provide an attractive level of interest by investing primarily in investment
503
contracts issued by insurance companies and banks. It is designed to maintain a
504
constant $1.00 share value.
505
506
Effective April 1, 1998, the Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund was no longer
507
available for participant contributions.
508
509
Termination or retirement benefits are paid by the Trustee in accordance with
510
the provisions of the Plan and the instructions of Medtronic, Inc., acting as
511
plan administrator. In the event the Plan were terminated, participants become
512
fully vested and the Company would cause all amounts in the hands of the Trustee
513
to be allocated and distributed to the participants based upon their investment
514
balance.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
531
- -------------------------------------------
532
533
As determined by the Trustee, investments are stated at fair value based upon
534
quoted market prices, except deposits with insurance companies guaranteed
535
investment contracts which are valued at contract value, which approximates fair
536
market value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract,
537
plus earnings, less plan withdrawals, and administrative expenses.
538
539
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
540
income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the day after the
541
date of record. Capital gain distributions are included in dividend income.

can have only one loan outstanding at a time and can borrow up to 50% of their
548
vested balance not to exceed the maximum loan amount of $50,000. The minimum
549
loan amount is $1,000. Loans are repaid through payroll deduction in equal
550
amounts over a 1 to 5 year period. The interest rate is calculated as one
551
percentage point over the prime rate in effect at US Bank, St. Paul, N.A., on
552
the first work day of the month in which the loan is made and remains fixed for
553
the duration for the loan.
554
555
Use of Estimates
556
- ----------------
557
558
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
559
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
560
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
561
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
562
563
New Accounting Standards
564
- ------------------------
565
566
In September 1999, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
567
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 99-3
568
("SOP 99-3"), "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution
569
Benefit Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters." SOP 99-3 simplifies the
570
disclosure of certain investment information of defined contribution plans and
571
is effective for financial statements of plan years ending after December 15,
572
1999, with earlier application encouraged. The Plan adopted the provisions of
573
this SOP for its plan year ended April 30, 2000. The primary impact on these
574
financial statements is the elimination of certain disclosures regarding changes
575
in net assets available for benefits by investment fund option.
576
577
NOTE 3--TRUSTEE
578
- ---------------
579
580
Vanguard Trust maintains all assets and is the recordkeeper of the Plan.
581
Vanguard Trust maintains a separate account in the name of each participant in
582
the Plan to record the assets allocated to the participant and the earnings,
583
losses, disbursements and expenses credited thereto.
584
585
NOTE 4--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
586
- ----------------------------------
587
588
The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard
589
Trust. Vanguard Trust acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by
590
the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest
591
transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. Total
