                  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 and nine months ended  September 30, 1994 and
September 29, 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 and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 and September 29, 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 to 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  totaled 378,000 and 316,000 for the three and nine months,
respectively, ended September 30, 1994 and 829,000 and 707,000 for the three and
nine months, respectively, ended September 29, 1995.

Note 4 - Inventories

The components of inventory are as follows:

Note 5 - Acquisitions

         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 is 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.

         On May 22, 1995,  the Company  acquired the business and certain assets
and  liabilities of The Master Medical  Corporation for a cash purchase price of
approximately  $9,500,000.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.  Goodwill and other intangible  assets are being amortized
over a 15 year period.

         The allocation of the purchase  prices for these  acquisitions is based
on management's  preliminary estimates;  it is possible that re-allocations will
be required  during the twelve  month  periods  following  the  acquisitions  as
additional information becomes available.  Management does not believe that such
re-allocations  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,  earnings  per share 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 plus accrued interest 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
paid the award in the second quarter of 1995.

Note 8 - Subsequent Events

         In October 1995, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement whereby
the Company will acquire the business and certain  assets of New  Dimensions  in
Medicine,  Inc. (NDM) for a cash purchase price of $32 million.  The transaction
is  subject  to  standard  governmental   approvals  and  the  approval  of  the
shareholders of NDM.

Item 2.

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

               Three months ended September 29, 1995 compared to
                     three months ended September 30, 1994

         Sales for the quarter  ended  September 29, 1995 were  $26,258,000,  an
increase  of 52.1%  compared  to  sales  of  $17,264,000  in the  quarter  ended
September  30,  1994.  The  increase is primarily a result of sales volume gains
resulting from the Birtcher and Master Medical acquisitions.

      Cost of sales increased to $13,737,000 in the current quarter  compared to
$9,300,000 in the same quarter a year ago as a result of increased sales volume.
The gross  margin  percentage  increased to 47.7% from 46.1%.  This  increase is
substantially  a result  of  increased  sales  volume  generating  manufacturing
efficiencies.

      Selling and administrative  expenses  increased to $6,586,000  compared to
$5,106,000 in the third quarter of 1994. This increase  results from the effects
of  the  acquisitions.   As  a  percentage  of  sales,   however,   selling  and
administrative  expense declined to 25.1% from 29.6% in the comparable period of
1994.  This  decrease  results from  economies of scale and the  elimination  of
duplicate administrative and selling costs from the acquired businesses.

      Research and development expense was $781,000 in the third quarter of 1995
compared to $591,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  This increase is primarily a
result of growth in the Company's  research  activities in its surgical  product
lines.

     The third  quarter of 1995 had  interest  expense of  $741,000  compared to
interest expense of $179,000 in the third quarter of 1994. The interest increase
results from the debt incurred as a result of the 1995 acquisitions.

      The  provision  for income tax  increased in 1995 due to the higher income
before tax.
<PAGE>
                Nine months ended September 29, 1995 compared to
                      nine months ended September 30, 1994

      The Company  recorded net sales of  $71,886,000  for the nine months ended
September 29, 1995 compared to $52,649,000  for the nine months ended  September
30, 1994, an increase of 36.5%.  The increase is  substantially  a result of the
effects of the acquisitions.

      The Company's  gross margin was 47.2% for the nine months of 1995 compared
to 45.1% for the nine months ended  September 1994. The increase in gross margin
is a result of economies of scale due to the acquisitions.

      Selling  and  administrative  costs have  increased  during the first nine
months  of 1995 when  compared  with the  first  nine  months of 1994 due to the
effects of the  acquisitions.  However,  as  percentage  of sales,  selling  and
administrative  expense  declined  to 26.0% from  30.0% in the prior  comparable
period due to economies of scale resulting from acquisitions.

      The Company  incurred  $1,436,000  in  interest  expense in the first nine
months of 1995  compared  to  $484,000  in 1994.  This change is a result of the
effects of the debt incurred as a result of the 1995 acquisitions.

      The estimated  effective income tax rates were approximately  35.3% in the
first nine months of 1995 and 35.0% in the first nine months of 1994.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash flows  generated or used by  operating,  investing,  and financing
activities  for the  first  nine  months of 1995 and 1994 are  disclosed  in the
consolidated  Statements of Cash Flows. Cash used by operations was $223,000 for
the first nine months of 1995 while cash provided by operations  was  $5,781,000
for the first  nine  months of 1994.  Operating  cash  flows for the first  nine
months of 1995 were aided by higher net income  compared  to the same  period in
1994. Depreciation and amortization in 1995 were increased due to the effects of
including  Birtcher and Master Medical  subsequent to their  acquisitions.  Cash
flows from operations for the first nine months of 1995 were negatively impacted
by increases in accounts receivable,  inventories and prepaid expenses and other
assets.  Payment of  accounts  payable,  the patent  litigation  award and other
current  liabilities  also  reduced  cash flow.  To a large  degree,  cash flows
related to accounts  receivable  and  inventories  represent  cash  requirements
related to the integration of Birtcher and Master Medical  acquisitions into the
Company's operations.

         Net cash used by investing activities was $13,305,000 in the first nine
months of 1995 compared to $1,334,000 in the first nine months of 1994. Business
acquisitions  utilized  $9,500,000  of cash.  Additions to  property,  plant and
equipment for the first nine months of 1995 totaled $3,805,000. Included in this
amount was the  purchase of land and  building in Rome,  New York  amounting  to
$1,200,000 which has been used by the Company for manufacturing expansion.

      Cash flows provided by financing activities were $11,515,000 for the first
nine months of 1995. The Company refinanced its existing bank debt, as described
below,  and received  $26,590,000 in additional  proceeds.  Payments on debt and
other  obligations  included  $2,871,000  on the Company's  debt,  $5,846,000 to
Birtcher's  bank to liquidate debt assumed in the  acquisition and $8,289,000 of
other Birtcher liabilities.

      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.

      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 September 29, 1995,
$28,500,000 was outstanding  under the term loan and $5,340,000 on the revolving
line of credit. The existing 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.

         In  order  to  meet  cash  requirements  of  the  proposed  acquisition
discussed  in Note 8 of Item 1, the  Company  has  obtained  a  commitment  from
existing lenders to increase its aggregate credit facility to $80,000,000.
