                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Consolidation

         The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of CONMED
Corporation  (the  Company),  and its  subsidiaries.  The  Company is  primarily
engaged in the development,  manufacturing  and marketing of disposable  medical
products  and  related  devices.  All  significant   intercompany  accounts  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - Interim financial information

         The  statements  for the three months ended April 1, 1994 and March 31,
1995 are  unaudited;  in the opinion of the Company  such  unaudited  statements
include  all  adjustments  (which  comprise  only  normal  recurring   accruals)
necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the  results  for  such  periods.  The
consolidated  financial  statements  for the year ending  December  29, 1995 are
subject  to  adjustment  at the end of the year  when they  will be  audited  by
independent  accountants.  The results of operations  for the three months ended
April 1, 1994 and March 31, 1995 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
of  operations  to be  expected  for any other  quarter  nor for the year ending
December 29, 1995.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes  thereto
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes for the
years ended  December 31, 1993 and December 30, 1994  included in the  Company's
Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

Note 3 - Earnings per share

         Earnings  per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  and  common  stock   equivalents
outstanding  during the quarter.  Common stock  equivalents  consisting of stock
options and warrants  totalled  287,000 and 682,000 for the quarters ended April
1, 1994 and March 31, 1995, respectively.

Note 4 - Inventories

The components of inventory are as follows (in thousands):

Note 5 - Acquisition

         On March 14, 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and the business
of Birtcher Medical Systems for approximately  1,080,000 shares of CONMED common
stock valued at  $17,750,000  and the  assumption  of net  liabilities  totaling
approximately $9,300,000. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired
business are included in the  consolidated  results of the Company from the date
of  acquisition.  The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  Goodwill  is being  amortized  over a 40 year  period  while  other
intangible  assets are being  amortized  over  periods  ranging from five to ten
years.  The  allocation of the purchase  price for this  acquisition is based on
management's  preliminary estimates;  it is possible that re-allocations will be
required  during  the next  twelve  months  as  additional  information  becomes
available.  Management  does not  believe  that such  re-allocation  will have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

On an unaudited  pro forma  basis,  assuming the purchase had occurred as of the
beginning of the period, the consolidated results of the Company would have been
as follows: (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 6 - Stock Split

         On November 22, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company  declared a
three-for-two split of the Company's common stock, to be effected in the form of
a stock  dividend,  payable on December  27, 1994 to  shareholders  of record on
December 8, 1994.  Accordingly,  common stock,  retained earnings,  earnings per
share,  the number of shares  outstanding,  and the weighted  average  number of
shares and equivalents outstanding,  have been restated to retroactively reflect
the split.

Note 7 - Legal Matters

         The Company has been informed that the appellate court  considering the
Company's  appeal  of a lower  court's  $2,100,000  award to a  competitor  in a
previously  disclosed  patent  infringement  matter has been affirmed.  Adequate
provision  for the damage  award was made in 1993.  The  Company  believes  that
accounting  reserves for this matter are adequate and that no additional  charge
to expense is required. The Company continues to review its options with respect
to this situation.

Item 2.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to three months ended April 1, 1994

         Sales for the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1995  were  $19,753,000,  an
increase of 10.7% compared to sales of $17,838,000 in the quarter ended April 1,
1994. A significant  portion of this sales increase  results from the effects of
the Birtcher Medical acquisition in March 1995.

         Cost of sales also  increased  to  $10,725,000  in the current  quarter
compared  to the  $10,004,000  in the same  quarter  a year  ago as a result  of
increased  sales  volume.  The gross margin  percentage  increased to 45.7% from
43.9%.  The  increase in gross  margins is a result of  increasing  economies of
scale and manufacturing efficiencies. During the later part of 1994, the Company
consolidated  its ECG wire and plastic molding  operations in one location which
reduced manufacturing expense as a percentage of sales.

         Selling and  administrative  costs decreased to $5,338,000  compared to
$5,398,000  in  the  first  quarter  of  1994.  This  decrease  in  selling  and
administrative  costs is a result of a covenant not to compete relative to Aspen
becoming  fully  amortized in late 1994 with no required  amortization  in 1995.
Additionally, marketing expense in the first quarter of 1994 was higher than the
first quarter of 1995 due to costs  associated with the launch of a new product.
The Company  anticipates that selling and administrative  costs will increase in
future  quarters  as the  impact of the  Birtcher  acquisition  in March 1995 is
incorporated  in the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  for a full
quarterly period. As a percentage of sales,  however,  management  believes that
selling  and  administrative  expense  will  continue  to  decline  due to sales
productivity  and economies of scale. In the first quarter of 1995,  selling and
administrative  expense  costs  declined  to 27.0% from 30.2% in the  comparable
period of 1994.

         Research and  development  expense  increased to $664,000 for the first
quarter of 1995 compared to $525,000  during the same period last year.  Efforts
to develop products for the less invasive  surgery  marketplace are contributing
to the increased expenditures.


         The first quarter of 1995 had interest expense of $194,000  compared to
interest  expense of $147,000 in the first quarter of 1994. The interest expense
results from the increasing  interest  rates together with increased  amounts of
debt outstanding due to the Birtcher acquisition.

         The provision for income tax increased in 1995 due to the higher income
before tax. The Company's estimated effective income tax rate is 35.0%.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash flows  generated or used by  operating,  investing,  and financing
activities  for the  first  quarters  of 1994  and  1995  are  disclosed  in the
consolidated   Statements  of  Cash  Flows.  Cash  flows  from  operations  were
$2,966,000 for the first three months of 1994 and $2,527,000 for the first three
months of 1995. Operating cash flows for the first quarter of 1995 were aided by
higher  net  income  compared  to the  same  period  in 1994.  Depreciation  and
amortization  in 1995 were  somewhat  reduced  from 1994  amounts  due to assets
related to the Aspen laboratories acquisition in 1989 becoming fully depreciated
and amortized in late 1994. This reduction in depreciation  and amortization was
somewhat offset due to the effects of including  Birtcher for  approximately two
weeks in the first quarter of 1995 subsequent to its acquisition.  First quarter
1995 cash flows  from  operations  were  negatively  impacted  by  increases  in
accounts receivable,  inventories and prepaid expenses and other assets. Payment
of accrued  payroll  items  also  reduced  cash flow.  Adding to cash flows from
operations  were  increases in accounts  payable,  income tax  payable,  accrued
pension and other liabilities.

         Net cash  used by  investing  activities  was  $9,966,000  in the first
quarter  of 1995  compared  to  $670,000  in the  first  quarter  of 1994.  Cash
amounting  to  $8,282,000  was  used to  liquidate  liabilities  assumed  in the
Birtcher  acquisition  including  employee  severance costs,  legal settlements,
accounts payable and cash acquisition  costs.  Additions to property,  plant and
equipment for the first quarter of 1995  totalled  $1,684,000.  Included in this
amount was the  purchase of land and  building in Rome,  New York  amounting  to
$1,200,000 which will be used by the Company for manufacturing expansion.

         Cash flows from financing activities were $4,779,000 in the first three
months of 1995.  The Company  refinanced  its existing  bank debt,  as described
below, and received $11,250,000 in additional  proceeds.  Loan payments included
$625,000 on the Company's  debt and  $5,846,000 to Birtcher's  bank to liquidate
debt assumed in the acquisition.

         Management  believes that cash generated from  operations,  its current
cash resources,  and funds  available  under its banking  agreement will provide
sufficient  liquidity to ensure  continued  working  capital for  operations and
funding of capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. Should the Company be
required  to pay  the  $2,100,000  patent  infringement  damage  award,  cash is
available from operations and from the Company's revolving credit facility.

         The Company's  credit facility  consists of a $30,000,000  secured term
loan and secured revolving line of credit of $10,000,000.  As of March 31, 1995,
$20,000,000 was outstanding  under the term loan with no borrowings  outstanding
on the revolving line of credit.

         The term loan is payable over five years at an interest  rate of 1.625%
over LIBOR. The revolving line of credit terminates on April 1, 1998 and carries
an interest rate of 1.5% over LIBOR.
