BIOMET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Biomet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as
the "Company"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period
ended August 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2000. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on From 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 1999, has been derived
from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company has one reportable segment, orthopedic products, which includes
designing, manufacturing and marketing of reconstructive products, fixation
devices, spinal products and other. Other products consist primarily of
Arthrotek's arthroscopy products, AOA's softgoods products, general instruments
and operating room supplies. The Company manages its business segments
primarily on a geographic basis. These geographic segments are comprised of
the United States, Europe and other. Other geographic segments include Canada,
South America, Mexico, Japan, and the Pacific Rim.
Net sales of orthopedic products by product category are as follows for the
three months ended August 31:
1999 1998

------- -------
$192,151 $176,664

NOTE 2: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.
Other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments
and unrealized appreciation of available-for-sale securities, net of taxes.
Other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended August 31, 1999
and 1998 was $(2,754) and $(287), respectively. Total comprehensive income
combines reported net income and other comprehensive income. Total
comprehensive income for the three months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$36,550 and $33,307, respectively.
NOTE 3: INVENTORIES.

NOTE 4: COMMON SHARES.
During the three months ended August 31, 1999, the Company issued 244,050 Common
Shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options for proceeds aggregating
$2,092,745.
NOTE 5: EARNINGS PER SHARE.
Earnings per common share amounts ("basic EPS") are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes
any potential dilution. Earnings per common share amounts assuming dilution
("diluted EPS") are computed by reflecting potential dilution from the
exercise of stock options.
NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES.
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 benefits relating to
operations in Puerto Rico, tax-exempt income and tax credits.
NOTE 7: PROPOSED ACQUISITION.
On August 28, 1999, the Company and Implant Innovations International
Corporation ("3i") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") whereby the Company will acquire all of 3i's outstanding shares in a
stock-for-stock merger transaction intended to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. The agreement is subject to certain collar provisions,
which among other things, limits the number of the Company's common shares to
be exchanged for 3i stock to a minimum of 4.0 million and a maximum of 5.2
million. The merger transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, approval of
the shareholders of 3i and other terms and conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement.
NOTE 8: CONTINGENCIES.
On August 27, 1999, the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida (the "District Court") entered a final judgment of $53,530 against
the Company in the Raymond G. Tronzo ("Tronzo") case. In January 1996, a jury
returned a verdict in a patent infringement matter in favor of Tronzo which
was subsequently reversed and vacated by the United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit"). The Federal Circuit then remanded
the case to the District Court for further consideration on the state law claims
only. Although the Company welcomes the fact that the District Court has now
greatly reduced the prior judgment, the Company continues to believe that it
engaged in no wrongdoing in the matter. This final judgment will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its
future business operations and all funds previously escrowed in this case have
now been returned to the Company. Tronzo has filed a notice of appeal of the
District Court's final judgment with the Federal Circuit; however, management is
confident it will continue to prevail in this case.
On June 30, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the
"Third Circuit") significantly reduced the judgment previously entered against
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Electro-Biology, Inc. and EBI
Medical Systems, Inc. and in favor of Orthofix SRL ("Orthofix"). The Third
Circuit upheld the trial court's award of compensatory damages to Orthofix in
the amount of $48,875,397; however, it virtually eliminated the $50 million
punitive damage award, reducing it to $1 million. The Company and Orthofix
filed petitions for rehearing with the Third Circuit and both petitions were
denied. The Company is currently considering whether to appeal the Third
Circuit's decision to the United States Supreme Court. As a result of the Third
Circuit's decision, and consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company
recorded a special charge of $55 million, including interest of $5.1 million in
its fiscal 1999 consolidated financial statements. On August 31, 1999, the
Company's investments on the consolidated balance sheet include $108 million of
investment securities which have been delivered to an escrow agent pursuant to
an order of the trial court and related to the trial court's judgment in this
case.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF AUGUST 31, 1999
The Company's cash and investments increased $28,429,000 to $364,725,000 at
August 31, 1999, despite the $15,786,000 cash dividend paid during the first
quarter.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $48,569,000 for the first three
months of fiscal 2000 compared to $51,242,000 in 1999. The primary sources of
fiscal year 2000 cash flows from operating activities were net income and an
increase in accrued income taxes. Accrued income taxes increased in the first
quarter because there is no federal tax estimate due in the first quarter.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $14,905,000 for the first three
months of fiscal 2000 compared to a use of $43,853,000 in 1999. The primary
source of cash flows from investing activities were sales and maturities of
investments offset by purchases of investments and purchases of capital
equipment.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $939,000 for the first three months
of fiscal 2000 compared to a use of $13,250,000 in 1999. The primary use of
cash flows from financing activities was the cash dividend paid in the first
quarter while the primary source of cash flows from financing activities was
from increasing short-term borrowings used by BioMer in its operations. In
June 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of fourteen
cents ($.14) per share payable to shareholders of record at the close of
business on July 9, 1999.
Currently available funds, together with anticipated cash flows generated from
future operations, are believed to be adequate to cover the Company's
anticipated cash requirements, including capital expenditures, research and
development costs and litigation settlements, if any.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998
Net sales increased 9% to $192,151,000 for the three-month period ended August
31, 1999, from $176,664,000 for the same period last year. Elective surgery-
related products appear to be influenced to some degree by seasonal factors, as
the number of elective orthopedic procedures decline during the summer months
and the holiday season. The Company's U.S.-based revenue increased 10% to
$132,286,000 during the first three months, while foreign sales increased 5% to
$59,865,000, net of a negative foreign exchange adjustment of approximately
$2,000,000. Biomet's worldwide sales of reconstructive products during the
first three months of fiscal 2000 were $112,520,000, representing an 8% increase
compared to the first three months of last year. This increase was primarily a
result of Biomet's continued penetration of the reconstructive device market led
by revision products, the Repicci Unicondylar Knee and the Ascent Total Knee
System. Sales of fixation products were $42,034,000 for the first three months
of fiscal 2000, representing a 7% increase as compared to the same period in
1999. Sales of spinal products were $12,168,000 for the first three months of
fiscal 2000, representing a 25% increase as compared to the same period in 1999.
The Company's sales of other products totaled $25,429,000, representing a 7%
increase over the first three months of fiscal year 1999, primarily as a result
of increased sales of softgood and Arthroscopy products.
Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net sales to 29.6% for the first
three months of fiscal 2000 from 30.3% last year primarily as a result of
increased sales of higher margin products, increased in-house manufacturing
efficiencies, improved margins realized through acquisitions of international
distributors and the higher growth rate of U.S. sales compared to international
sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales remained the same at 34.5% for both periods presented. Research and
development expenditures increased during the first three months to $8,538,000
reflecting the Company's continued emphasis on new product introductions.
Operating income rose 12% from $54,176,000 for the first three months of fiscal
1999, to $60,481,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2000. Other income
increased 10% resulting from the increase in the Company's investable cash. The
effective income tax rate decreased to 36.0% for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 from 37.0% last year primarily as a result of U.S. pretax income
growing at a higher rate than international pretax income where tax rates are
higher.
These factors resulted in a 17% increase in net income to $39,304,000 from
$33,594,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased 17%, from
$.30 to $.35 for the periods presented.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue stems from the way dates are recorded in many
computer-dependent products and software programs. As the century date change
occurs, date-sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as the year 1900, or
not at all. This inability to recognize or properly treat the year 2000 may
cause systems to process financial or operations information incorrectly.
The Company recognized this challenge early and started work in 1997. The
Company's Y2K strategy to make systems Y2K compliant includes a common
Company-wide focus on policies, methods and correction tools, and coordination
with customers and suppliers. This focus has been on all systems potentially
impacted by the Y2K issue, including information technology ("IT") systems and
non-IT systems or embedded technology such as microcontrollers contained in
various manufacturing and lab equipment, environment and safety systems,
facilities and utilities. Each operating unit has responsibility for its own
conversion, in line with overall guidance and oversight provided by a
corporate-level task force.
The majority of the most vital information systems of the Company are now Y2K
compliant. Three of the Company's European subsidiaries are undergoing computer
hardware and software upgrades to ensure Y2K compliance. Two of these upgrades
have been completed during the past two months, while the third is scheduled for
completion November 30, 1999. The Company is presently completing compliancy
testing and finalizing contingency plans.
A Company-wide process to assess key supplier readiness is ongoing. The Company
is unable to definitively determine that all key suppliers will reach a Y2K
compliant status that will ensure no production disruptions from suppliers.
The Company's Y2K conversion efforts have not been budgeted or tracked as
separate projects, but have occurred in conjunction with normal sustaining
activities. These costs are expensed as incurred and are being funded through
operating cash flows. These costs have not had, and are not expected to have,
an adverse impact on operating results.
The Company believes there is low risk of any internal critical system, embedded
system or critical asset not being Y2K compliant by the end of calendar 1999.
The Company continues to assess its risk exposure attributable to external
factors, such as suppliers, both domestic and international. Although the
Company has no reason to conclude that any specific supplier poses a risk, there
does exist the possibility of production disruption due to inability of
suppliers to deliver critical materials or processes. The Company is unable to
quantify such a scenario, but it could result in a material adverse impact on
results of operations or financial position of the Company. Contingency plans
for suppliers and critical systems are being developed to lessen the impact of a
worse-case Y2K scenario.
PROPOSED ACQUISITION
As discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on
August 28, 1999, the Company and Implant Innovations International Corporation
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1: Legal Proceedings.
On August 27, 1999, the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida (the "District Court") entered a final judgment of $53,530 against
the Company in the Raymond G. Tronzo ("Tronzo") case. In January 1996, a jury

was subsequently reversed and vacated by the United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit"). The Federal Circuit then remanded
the case to the District Court for further consideration on the state law claims
only. Although the Company welcomes the fact that the District Court has now

engaged in no wrongdoing in the matter. This final judgment will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its
future business operations and all funds previously escrowed in this case have
now been returned to the Company. Tronzo has filed a notice of appeal of the
District Court's final judgment with the Federal Circuit; however, management is
confident it will continue to prevail in this case.
On June 30, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the
