I'm Ben Andrew, the Medical Technology analyst with William Blair, and happy to have Gary Ellis, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, presenting this morning, and a couple other members of the team with him, as well, to take questions. A couple of quick comments -- I think the Medtronic story has evolved in a couple of critical ways. And I know Gary is going to talk about that today. The single most important thing to me is that the Company is re-establishing credibility with the Street through the shorter-term focus on execution and improving financial returns. And that is the single most important thing that's going on. And in kind of a stealth way, the Company has put up three really good quarters in a row. I think people are not giving them enough credit... 6/17/2008 5:04:00 PMMedtronic Inc.54.0000FinalMedtronic Inc. at William Blair & Company Growth Stock Conference TranscriptMDT1:00pm CTTranscriptT1873779Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Eventshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/newstex/PRN-0005-26011964newstex/PRN-0005-26011964xml BOCA RATON, Fla., Jun. ##, #### (PRNewswire delivered by Newstex) -- NovaVision today announced the appointment of Rudy Mazzocchi as its new chief executive officer.

Medtronic obviously had a very significant meeting with investors within the last two weeks where they have provided some incremental business objectives to improve profitability and have certainly been very explicit with metrics to gauge the progress and I, for one, was very appreciative to see all the incremental information, so, thank you, guys. To really run through the story today, and, I think, continue on to some of the themes that were brought up at the analysts meeting a couple of weeks ago, we have Gary Ellis, who is the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as well as Jeff Warren, who is the Vice President of Investor Relations, so with that, let me turn it over to Gary and we'll kick it off. ... 6/11/2008 10:03:00 PMMedtronic Inc.54.0000FinalMedtronic Inc. at Goldman Sachs Healthcare Conference TranscriptMDT10:00am PTTranscriptT1871904Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Eventshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/T1848428ccbn/T1848428norm...I think we're ready to get started.

For those of you that have had to travel, I know it can be tough to be here first thing on a Monday morning, especially when the weather is like this outside. But we really appreciate you making the trip. Before I turn the meaning over to Bill I just wanted to walk through a couple of logistical items. One, in your package you're going to find a survey and that's a little bit of housekeeping upfront. If you actually take the time to fill that out, your feedback is very important to us and we'd like to try to incorporate as much of the feedback into the next time we get together. There's also going to be a very user-friendly e-mail sent to you after the meeting. So, if you don't want to do a hard copy, feel free to do that as well.

Although you will see kind of a continuation of some of the themes we've been talking about over the last several months. Starting off obviously the conversation with respect to Medtronic, I obviously have to make sure you are aware of our forward-looking statement.

These strengths largely insulate the company from the immediate threats of litigation, technological obsolescence, and competition. Medtronic is one of the world's largest and best regarded manufacturers of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers for cardiac rhythm disease management (CRDM). It holds a 50% share in the CRDM market, which contributed 37% of sales in the first three quarters of fiscal 2008.
