NOTE 3:     COMMON SHARES.

During the nine months ended February 28, 1994, the Company issued 311,643
common shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options for proceeds
aggregating $740,505.  The Company purchased 300,000 treasury shares during the
nine month period ended February 28, 1994 for $2,696,875.  For financial
reporting purposes, the treasury shares are accounted for as retired.

NOTE 4:     INCOME TAXES.

Effective June 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires a change from the
deferred to the liability method of computing deferred income taxes.  The impact
of this change was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.  The
difference between the reported provision for income taxes and a provision
computed by applying the federal statutory rate to pre-tax accounting income is
primarily attributable to tax exempt income and tax credits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, concluded

NOTE 5:     CONTINGENCIES.

In February 1990, Dr. Pedro A. Ramos filed a complaint against the Company
alleging that the Company had infringed a patent issued to him. Dr. Ramos was
seeking a royalty on sales of the Company's Bipolar articulating hip prosthesis,
costs and enhanced damages for the alleged willful infringement. During April
1993, the matter was tried before a judge of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida, and on September 10, 1993 the judge
entered a final judgment and permanent injunction, which concluded the patent of
Dr. Ramos was valid and was willfully infringed by the Company. The judgment
awarded Dr. Ramos $5.3 million plus costs and accrued interest, which
represented the trebling of a $1,770,000 compensatory damage award. The Company,
after consultation with legal counsel, believes the Court erred in its finding
and that the judge's opinion is contrary to the facts and applicable law.  The
Company plans to vigorously pursue its rights of appeal and is in the process of
filing the appeal. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be
determined, management of the Company, after consultation with legal counsel,
believes the judgment against the Company will be reversed on appeal.
Accordingly, no provision for any liability  (except for accrued legal costs)
that might result from this matter has been made in the consolidated financial 
statements.



ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 1994

As of February 28, 1994, the Company's working capital position remained strong,
increasing by $50,298,000 during the first nine months of fiscal year 1994 to
$274,685,000 and resulting in a working capital ratio of 6.6 to 1.  This
increase in working capital is principally attributable to the operating results
experienced by the Company during the first nine months of fiscal year 1994.  
Cash and short-term investments increased during the first nine months by 
$37,282,000 to $130,905,000.  The Company's cash and short-term investments,
together with anticipated cash flow from operations, are expected to be
adequate to fund all anticipated capital requirements.

Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $6,559,000 and $8,679,000,
respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 1994.  Accounts receivable
has increased due to the increased sales volume in February.  Inventories have
been increased to support the recent introduction of several new products
including the Maxim Total Knee System and the Arthrotek Integrated Endoscopy
System (IES 1000). The cost of property, plant and equipment increased 
$4,105,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 1994.  Included in the
aforementioned changes were decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and
property, plant and equipment of approximately $961,000, $1,446,000 and 
$872,000, respectively, attributable to the decrease from May 31, 1993 to 
February 28, 1994 in the exchange rates used to convert the financial statements
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S.
Dollar.  These decreases did not affect the Company's earnings during the past
nine-month period because foreign currency translation adjustments to balance
sheet items are recognized directly in shareholders' equity on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.  The Company will continue to be exposed to the
effects of foreign currency translation adjustments.  

Total liabilities increased slightly to $55,358,000 at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 1994.

Shareholders' equity increased $45,929,000 principally due to the Company's
first nine months earnings, offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in the
cumulative translation adjustment between periods presented and a decrease of
2.7 million resulting from the purchase of treasury shares.

On September 17, 1993 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the investment
of up to $25 million in the outstanding Common Shares of the Company in open
market or privately negotiated transactions.  The number of shares purchased, if
any, will be dependent upon market conditions.  Purchases may be made from time
to time between September 17, 1993 and September 16, 1994.  During the second
quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company purchased 300,000 shares for $2,696,875
which have been accounted for as retired shares for financial reporting
purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1994
AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales increased 12% to $272,869,000 for the nine month period ended February
28, 1994, from $244,604,000 for the same period last year.  The Company's
U.S.-based revenue increased 14% to $213,390,000 during the first nine months,
while foreign sales for the first nine months increased 5% to $59,479,000.  For
the first nine months, Biomet's foreign sales were adversely affected by
approximately $5,600,000 due to a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the British
Pound Sterling.

Biomet's worldwide reconstructive device sales during the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 were $158,103,000, representing a 17% increase compared to the first
nine months of fiscal year 1993.  This increase  was primarily a result of
Biomet's continued penetration of the reconstructive device market led by the
recently introduced Maxim Total Knee System.  Sales of Electro-Biology, Inc.'s
products were $64,910,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1994, representing
an 8% increase as compared to the same period in 1993.  This increase was
largely attributable to increased demand for Orthofix devices.  The Company's
"other products" revenues totaled $49,856,000, representing a 1% increase over
the first nine months of fiscal year 1993, primarily as a result of increased
sales of Arthrotek's IES 1000 System and Lorenz's  oral-maxillofacial implants.

Cost of sales decreased marginally as a percentage of net sales from 31.4% for
the first nine months of fiscal 1993 to 30.8% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 due to the increase in reconstructive device sales.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percentage of net
sales from 36.6% to 36.8% for the first nine months.  This increase is
attributable to increased marketing efforts through incentive commission
programs for the Company's domestic distributors.  The increase in research and
development expenditures to $15,348,000 during the first nine months reflects
Biomet's commitment to remain competitive through technological advancements and
to capitalize on future opportunities available within the orthopedic market.
Operating income increased 12% from $65,007,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1993 to $73,095,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1994,
corresponding to the increase in net sales.  Other income increased during the
first nine months of fiscal 1994 mainly from the increase in cash and short-term
investments.  The effective income tax rate increased from 31.8% for the first
nine months of fiscal 1993 to 34.7% for the same period this year.  This
increase is due to the increase in the US corporate income tax rate, changes in
the Puerto Rico local tax structure resulting from the reduction of tax benefits
from operating in Puerto Rico instituted by the current administration and
increased profits in foreign countries where the tax rate is higher.
These factors resulted in an 8% increase in net income for the first nine months
of fiscal 1994 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1993, increasing from
$46,509,000 to $50,204,000 and a 7% increase in earnings per share to $.44
compared to $.41 for last year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1994
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1993

Net sales increased 14% to $95,663,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year
1994, as compared to $84,050,000 for the same period last year.  Operating
income rose 17% from $22,459,000 for the third quarter of  fiscal 1993, to
$26,363,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  During the third quarter, net
income increased 13% to $18,084,000 as compared to $16,032,000 for the same
period last year.  Earnings per share increased 14% from $.14 per share for the
third quarter of fiscal 1993, to $.16 per share for the same period of fiscal
1994.  The business factors resulting in these changes and relevant trends
affecting the Company's business during the periods in question are comparable
to those described in the preceding discussion for the nine-month period.
