NOTE 3:     COMMON SHARES.

During the six months ended November 30, 1993, the Company issued 201,139 common
shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options for proceeds aggregating
$501,670.  The Company purchased 300,000 treasury shares during the six month
period ended November 30, 1993 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.

BIOMET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 NOVEMBER 30, 1993

As of November 30, 1993, the Company's working capital position remained strong,
increasing by $30,075,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 1994 to 
$254,462,000 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 six months of fiscal year 1994.  
Cash and short-term investments increased during the first six months by 
$26,748,000 to $120,371,000.  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 decreased by $2,918,000 and inventories increased by 
$5,239,000.  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 $2,074,000 during the first six months of fiscal 1994.  
Included in the aforementioned changes were decreases in accounts receivable, 
inventories and property, plant and equipment of approximately $148,000, 
$385,000 and $159,000, respectively, attributable to the decrease from May 31, 
1993 to November 30, 1993 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 six-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 decreased slightly to $51,690,000 at the end of the second 
quarter of fiscal 1994.

Shareholders' equity increased $27,624,000 principally due to the Company's 
first six months earnings, offset by a decrease of $2,301,000 in the cumulative 
translation adjustment between periods presented and 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 SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993
AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1992

Net sales increased 10% to $177,206,000 for the six month period ended November 
30, 1993, from $160,554,000 for the same period last year. The Company's 
U.S.-based revenue increased 14% to $139,189,000 during the first six months, 
while foreign sales for the first six months decreased 1% to $38,017,000.  For 
the first six months, Biomet's foreign sales were adversely affected by 
approximately $4,900,000 due to a stronger U.S. Dollar relative to the British 
Pound Sterling.

Biomet's worldwide reconstructive device sales during the first six months of 
fiscal 1994 were $101,659,000, representing a 15% increase compared to the first
six 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 $42,392,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1994, representing 
a 5% 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 $33,155,000, representing a 4% increase over the 
first six 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 six months of fiscal 1993 to 30.9% for the first six 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 37.0% for the first six 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 $10,104,000 during the first six 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 10% from $42,548,000 for the first six months of 
fiscal 1993 to $46,732,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1994, 
corresponding to the increase in net sales.  Other income decreased during the 
first six months of fiscal 1994 principally because of lower investment interest
rates available to the Company, despite the increase in cash and short-term
investments.  These factors resulted in a 5% increase in net income for the 
first six months of fiscal 1994 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1993, 
increasing from $30,477,000 to $32,120,000 and a 4% increase in earnings per 
share to $.28 compared to $.27 for last year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1992

Net sales increased 10% to $90,313,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 
1994, as compared to $82,424,000 for the same period last year.  Operating 
income rose 9% from $22,199,000 for the second quarter of  fiscal 1993, to 
$24,110,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  During the second quarter, 
net income increased 6% to $16,789,000 as compared to $15,874,000 for the same 
period last year.  Earnings per share increased 7% from $.14 per share for the 
second quarter of fiscal 1993, to $.15 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 six-month period.
