BIOMET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:     OPINION OF MANAGEMENT.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein includes all
adjustments necessary to reflect a fair statement of the interim periods 
reported.  The May 31, 1994 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was 
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2:     ACQUISITIONS.

On August 12, 1994, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary purchased 
685,222 Common Shares of Kirschner Medical Corporation ("Kirschner") and a 
promissory note in the amount of 329.5 million Spanish Pesetas (approximately 
$2.5 million) issued to Kirschner's Spanish subsidiary from Figgie 
International Inc. for $8,700,000.  On November 4, 1994, the Company through 
the same wholly-owned subsidiary purchased all of the  remaining issued and 
outstanding common shares of Kirschner for 1,384,309 Biomet Common Shares and 
$16,245,981 cash.  Kirschner, headquartered in Timonium, Maryland, designs,
develops, manufactures and markets orthopedic devices and musculoskeletal 
orthopedic support products.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a 
purchase and the purchase price of $38,900,000, including acquisition costs, 
has been allocated to the acquired net assets.  The $13,327,000 excess of 
acquisition cost over fair value of acquired net assets is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

Unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the acquisition had it 
occurred at the beginning of each period is as follows:

NOTE 3:     INVESTMENTS.

Effective June 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities".  This statement requires certain investments to be categorized as 
either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.  The Company has no 
investments categorized in the trading category at November 30, 1994.  
Investments in the available-for-sale category, approximately $32,721,000 at 
November 30, 1994, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses 
recorded as a special component of shareholders' equity, approximately $800,000
at November 30, 1994.  Investments in the held-to-maturity category are carried
at amortized cost, approximately $49,240,000 at November 30, 1994.  The 
proceeds from sales of marketable securities are all from the available-for-
sale category.  Gross realized gains or losses on these sales were immaterial.

NOTE 4:     INVENTORIES.

Inventories at November 30, 1994 and May 31, 1994 are as follows:

                                       November 30,       May 31,

                                        =======            ======

NOTE 5:     INCOME TAXES.

The effective income tax rate increased due to the increase in the U.S. 
corporate income tax rate, changes in the Puerto Rico local tax structure 
resulting from the reduction of tax benefits from operating in Puerto Rico and 
increased profits in foreign countries where the tax rate is higher.  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 state income taxes, tax exempt income and tax 
credits.

NOTE 6:     COMMON SHARES.

During the six months ended November 30, 1994, the Company issued 278,998 
common shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options for proceeds 
aggregating $772,432.  The Company also issued 1,384,309 common shares valued 
at $16,245,981 in connection with the Kirschner acquisition.

NOTE 7:     CONTINGENCIES.

On February 9, 1990, Pedro A. Ramos, M.D. filed a complaint in the United 
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida naming the Company 
as a defendant.  The plaintiff alleges the Company has infringed his patent. 
In April 1993, the matter was tried before Judge Aronovitz of the Southern 
District of Florida. Judge Aronovitz issued a memorandum opinion in August 
1993, finding that U.S. Patent No. 4,383,090 was willfully infringed. On 
September 10, 1993 the trial court entered a final judgment and permanent 
injunction in favor of Dr. Ramos.  An amended final judgment was entered on 
November 30, 1993 awarding Dr. Ramos a permanent injunction and $6,008,000. 
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 filed Notices of Appeal to the final judgment and 
amended final judgment on September 20, 1993 and December 13, 1993, 
respectively.  The Company filed its appeal brief with the Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit on March 3, 1994 and Dr. Ramos filed his Response Brief on 
April 12, 1994.  Oral arguments were heard on September 8, 1994.  The Company 
has negotiated a license under the Ramos patent to continue selling its old 
bipolar design while it introduces a new bipolar product.  Management continues
to conduct a vigorous defense of this matter. 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, 1994

As of November 30, 1994, the Company's working capital position remains strong,
increasing by $32,839,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 1995 to 
$321,247,000 and resulting in a working capital ratio of 5.1 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 
1995.  Cash and short-term investments decreased during the first six months by
$7,912,000 to $132,930,000 due to the approximately $34,700,000 used in the 
Kirschner acquisition (which include payment of debt).  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 $24,487,000 and $32,504,000, 
respectively, which includes the purchased assets of $18,545,000 and 
$19,795,000, respectively, of Kirschner.  In addition, 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). Property, plant and equipment increased $15,638,000 during the first six
months of fiscal 1995, which includes $8,925,000 from the Kirschner acquisition.
Included in the aforementioned changes were increases in accounts receivable,
inventories and property, plant and equipment of approximately $1,535,000, 
$1,900,000 and $1,332,000, respectively, attributable to the increase from May 
31, 1994 to November 30, 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 increases 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. 

The increase in total liabilities of $24,625,000 was principally from the 
Kirschner acquisition.  

Shareholders' equity increased $55,652,000 due to the Company's first six 
months earnings and the issuance of common stock in the Kirschner acquisition. 
Also included is an increase in the unrealized gain on certain equity 
securities due to the adoption of SFAS No. 115 (See Note 3 of the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements) and cumulative translation adjustment of
$800,000 and $3,059,000, respectively, between periods presented.

On September 16, 1994 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, extending the Share
Repurchase Program announced the previous year.  The Company had repurchased 
1,260,000 shares during the previous year.  The number of shares purchased, if 
any, will be dependent upon market conditions.  Purchases may be made from time
to time between September 16, 1994 and September 22, 1995.

As previously disclosed in our 1993 Form 10-K, EBI and Orthofix s.r.l. 
("Orthofix") continue to have discussions concerning the renewal of the 
Orthofix distribution arrangement.  The current agreement with Orthofix expires
May 31, 1995 and, if the agreement is not renewed, it could have an adverse 
impact on EBI or the Company.

As more fully disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements, the Company acquired Kirschner Medical Corporation on November 4, 
1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994
AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales increased 15% to $203,086,000 for the six month period ended November
30, 1994, from $177,206,000 for the same period last year. The Company's 
U.S.-based revenue increased 14% to $158,046,000 during the first six months, 
while foreign sales increased 18% to $45,040,000.  Foreign currency exchange 
rates did not have a material impact on sales or earnings during the first six 
months. 

Biomet's worldwide reconstructive device sales during the first six months of 
fiscal 1995 were $119,924,000, representing an 18% increase compared to the 
first six months of fiscal year 1994.  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 $46,692,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1995, representing
a 10% increase as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase was 
largely attributable to increased demand for bone healing units.  The Company's
"other products" revenues totaled $36,470,000, representing a 10% increase over
the first six months of fiscal year 1994, primarily as a result of increased 
sales of arthroscopy products.  The above sales increases include approximately
one month of Kirschner activity.

Cost of sales remained constant as a percentage of net sales at 30.9% for the 
six month periods.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, 
principally as a result of increased commissions paid on the higher volume of 
sales, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 36.6%, compared to 37.0% 
for the first six months of last year.  The increase in research and 
development expenditures 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 rose 18% from $46,732,000 for the first six months of fiscal 
1994, to $55,292,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1995, corresponding to 
the increase in net sales.  Other income increased during the first six months 
of fiscal 1995 principally because of increases in cash and short-term 
investments and higher investment yields.  The effective income tax rate
increased from 34.2% for the first six months of fiscal 1994 to 37.4% for the 
same period this year.  This increase is due to the increase in the U.S. 
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 a 14% increase in net income and earnings per share 
for the first six months of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same period in 
fiscal 1994, increasing from $32,120,000 to $36,522,000, and from $.28 to $.32,
respectively. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales increased 18% to $106,860,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 
1995, as compared to $90,313,000 for the same period last year.  Operating 
income rose 21% from $24,110,000 for the second quarter of  fiscal 1994, to 
$29,252,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  During the second quarter, 
net income increased 16% to $19,409,000 as compared to $16,789,000 for the same
period last year.  Earnings per share increased 13% from $.15 per share for the
second quarter of fiscal 1994, to $.17 per share for the same period of fiscal 
1995.  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.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

On February 9, 1990, Pedro A. Ramos, M.D. filed a complaint in the United 
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida naming the Company 
as a defendant.  The plaintiff alleges the Company has infringed his patent. In
April 1993, the matter was tried before Judge Aronovitz of the Southern
