                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Birtcher Medical Systems, Inc.

         We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of
Birtcher  Medical  Systems,  Inc. as of June 30, 1994 and 1993,  and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three  years in the period  ended  June 30,  1994.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial  statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Birtcher Medical  Systems,  Inc. at June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated
results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1994, in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

         As  discussed  in Note 1 to the  financial  statements,  the  Company's
recurring   losses  from  operations  and  working  capital   deficiency   raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans  as to these  matters  are also  described  in Note 1. The 1994  financial
statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                                                              ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.  Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Business

         Birtcher Medical Systems,  Inc. (the Company) is engaged in the design,
manufacture and sale of advanced surgical products.  The Company markets a broad
line of electrosurgery products for the hospital, the outpatient surgery center,
and the private practitioner in the conventional and endoscopic surgery markets.

  Results of Operations and Management's Plans

         In  fiscal  1994,  the  Company   incurred  a  loss  of   approximately
$20,900,000 due to a  restructuring  charge of $14,900,000 and an operating loss
of $6,000,000.  In management's  opinion,  the continuing  losses since 1992 are
attributable to the Company's costs being higher than its break-even sales level
and the expenditure of resources to support the unprofitable  endoscopic product
line. Consequently,  in fiscal 1994, the Company decided to divest itself of the
Solos(R)  endoscopic  product  line  and  take a  restructuring  charge  for the
write-down of the related assets including inventory,  demonstration  equipment,
accounts receivable, intangible assets and expenses related to facility closures
and severance.  In addition,  management  reduced  headcount,  subleased  excess
facilities and reduced  operating  costs wherever  possible to reduce losses and
achieve  profitability and a positive cash flow and is evaluating  financing and
other alternatives. The 1994 financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might  result from the  possible  inability of the Company to continue as a
going concern.

  Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant  intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

  Cash and Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid  investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

  Concentration of Credit Risk

         Financial   instruments  which   potentially   expose  the  Company  to
concentrations  of credit  risk,  as defined by Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board's   Statement  No.  105,   "Disclosure  of  Information   about  Financial
Instruments  with   Off-Balance-Sheet   Risk  and  Financial   Instruments  with
Concentrations  of Credit Risk," consist  primarily of accounts  receivable with
the  Company's  various  customers,  which  include  a variety  of  health  care
organizations  and  distributors  throughout the United States and the world. No
single customer represents more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable for any
period.  The Company  provides for  uncollectible  amounts upon  recognition  of
revenue and when specific  credit problems  arise.  Management's  estimates have
been  adequate  during  historical  periods  and  management  believes  that all
significant credit risks have been identified at June 30, 1994.

  Demonstration Equipment

         During fiscal 1993, the Company  implemented a strategy to replace many
of its  independent  dealers with an internal sales force.  The Company has also
provided   its  internal   sales  force  with   equipment  to  be  utilized  for
demonstration purposes.

  Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

         Equipment and leasehold  improvements are stated at cost.  Depreciation
is provided on the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets  ranging from two to twelve years.  Leasehold  improvements  and property
under capital  leases are amortized  over the lives of the assets or term of the
lease,  whichever is shorter,  and this amortization is included in depreciation
expense.

  Income Taxes

         Effective July 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109,  Accounting  for Income Taxes.  The
primary   difference  between  Statement  No.  109  and  the  accounting  method
previously utilized by the Company,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 96,  effecting  the  Company,  relates to the  recognition  of deferred  tax
assets.

  Sales and Revenue Recognition

         The Company  recognizes revenue on the sale of its products at the time
of shipment to the customer.  The Company  extends up to a one year warranty for
its products and accrues related estimated costs as the revenue is recognized.

         Export sales,  primarily to Europe,  Asia,  Central and South  America,
were  $13,580,000,  $12,179,000  and $9,866,000  during the years ended June 30,
1992,  1993 and 1994,  respectively.  No single export area represents more than
10% of total sales.

         Export sales by geographic area were as follows:

(1) Prior to its  acquisition  by the  Company  in  fiscal  1992,  Solos did not
    maintain records of export sales by geographic region. All fiscal 1992 Solos
    export sales are included in "Other."

  Per Share Information

         Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common  stock and  dilutive  common stock  equivalents  outstanding  (9,103,000,
9,109,000  and  9,168,000  for the years  ended  June 30,  1992,  1993 and 1994,
respectively).  Stock  options are  included in the weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding utilizing the treasury stock method, in years in which
the impact is dilutive.  The Company's preferred shares are not considered to be
common  stock  equivalents  and,  therefore,  have not been  included in primary
earnings per share.  Fully  diluted  earnings per share are not presented as the
effect is antidilutive.

  Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications  have been made to prior  year  balances  to
conform to the current year's presentation.

 2.  Acquisitions and Related Expenses

         On March 1, 1993,  the  Company  purchased  certain  assets and assumed
certain  liabilities  of  Beacon  Laboratories,  Inc.  (Beacon)  in  Broomfield,
Colorado.  The  consideration  for the  purchase of Beacon  consisted of 468,399
shares of  preferred  stock (Note  10)and cash  expenditures  of  $339,000.  The
purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based
on their  respective fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of cost
over net assets was deemed to be impaired in 1994 and has been  written  down to
its expected net realizable  value of $1,000,000 which is being amortized over a
five-year period on a straight-line basis (Note 4).

         The following table presents  unaudited pro forma results of operations
as if the  acquisition  of Beacon had occurred on July 1, 1991.  These pro forma
results have been prepared for  comparative  purposes only and do not purport to
be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place at the
beginning of fiscal 1992 or results which may occur in the future.  Furthermore,
no effect has been given in the pro forma  information  for  operating  benefits
because precise estimates of such benefits cannot be quantified.

         During fiscal 1992, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  shares
of Solos(R) Endoscopy,  Inc. in exchange for 2,233,000 shares of Birtcher common
stock, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Concurrent with
the  acquisition,  the  Company  recorded  the  impact of a  restructuring  plan
designed to  increase  the  overall  profitability  of the Company by closing or
scaling  back  certain   operations   and  product   lines  that  have  not  met
profitability  expectations.  Acquisition  and  restructuring  charges  of  $6.6
million represent acquisition fees, provisions for closure and lease termination
costs, write-down of related assets and severance pay.

         The carrying  value of  intangible  assets is reviewed if the facts and
circumstances  suggest that they may be impaired.  If this review indicates that
intangible  assets will not be recoverable,  determined  using a discounted cash
flow analysis of the related  product line over the estimated  remaining  useful
life, the carrying value of the intangible asset is reduced.

         During fiscal 1994,  net income was reduced by $5,918,000 for a noncash
write-down of the Company's  intangible  assets. In 1994, the Company determined
the value of these  intangible  assets had been  impaired  due to the lower than
expected sales on the related product lines. The remaining intangible assets are
being amortized using the straight line basis over their estimated  useful lives
ranging from five to fifteen years.

         The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank which allows for
maximum  indebtedness of $7,500,000 of which  $5,025,000 was outstanding at June
30, 1994. The borrowings  bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5% and are due
and payable on November  30,  1994.  The line of credit and the note  payable to
bank are  collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The
loan agreements  require the Company to maintain certain covenants and financial
conditions related to profitability,  working capital and shareholders'  equity.
The Company was in violation of all covenants as of June 30, 1994.  The bank has
waived  these  violations  and  deferred  principal  payment on the note payable
through  November  30,  1994.  The  Company  anticipates  that  it may not be in
compliance  with  these  covenants  subsequent  to  the  waiver  date  and  has,
therefore, reclassified the long-term debt as current.

         At June 30, 1994,  the Company has available for offset  against future
federal  taxable  income  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately
$15,918,000  which  begin  to  expire  in  2008.  The use of the  Company's  net
operating  loss  carry  forwards  could be  limited  by a  subsequent  change of
ownership.

         The Company also has net operating loss  carryforwards of approximately
$10,315,000  available for offset against future taxable income for state income
tax purposes.  These net operating loss  carryforwards  begin to expire in 1998.
These net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to similar limitation as
the federal net operating loss carryforwards, described above.

 8.  Commitments and Contingencies

  Contingencies

         During  fiscal  1992,  the Company  was party to a patent  infringement
action  by  Valleylab,   Inc.,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Pfizer,   Inc.
(Valleylab).  On August 21,  1992,  the  Company  settled  this  matter  through
granting  a  nonexclusive  worldwide  license  of  its  argon  beam  coagulation
technology to Valleylab. Under the license agreement, Valleylab paid the Company
a one-time  license fee of $2.5 million and will pay a 5% royalty on all present
and future gas-related products sold by Valleylab for the life of the underlying
patent.

         The Company is currently  engaged in patent  litigation  in which Aspen
Laboratories  (Aspen) alleges that certain of the Company's  products infringe a
patent held by Aspen.  Discovery in this case is continuing,  and the Company is
presently unable to predict the outcome of this matter;  however, if the Company
should  lose this  lawsuit,  the  Company's  electrosurgical  business  could be
negatively affected or the Company could be forced to pay a royalty to Aspen for
the use of its patent. The Company  anticipates that the ultimate  resolution of
this matter will not be determinable until sometime in fiscal 1996.

         From time to time during  fiscal 1994 and  thereafter,  the Company has
been in default under leases pursuant to which Birtcher's  executive offices and
certain manufacturing operations are leased.

         In addition to the matters  described  above, the Company is subject to
litigation during the normal course of business.  In management's  opinion,  any
such contingencies  would not materially affect the Company's financial position
or operating results.

         The Company is subject to regulatory requirements throughout the world.
During the normal  course of  business,  these  regulatory  agencies may require
companies  in the  medical  industry  to  change  their  products  or  operating
procedures,  which  could  affect the  Company.  The  Company  regularly  incurs
expenses to comply with these procedures and may be required to incur additional
expenses.  Management is not able to estimate any additional expenditure outside
the normal course of operations  which will be incurred by the Company in future
periods in order to comply with these regulations.

  Operating Leases

         The Company  lease of its corporate  offices and primary  manufacturing
facility in Irvine,  California  expires on August 22,  2000.  The Company  also
leases facilities under operating leases in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico.

         In June 1994,  the Company  assigned its lease  obligation for a 10,318
square foot building in Braintree,  Massachusetts, to the purchaser of the Solos
product  line.  In August  1994,  the Company  subleased a portion of its Irvine
facilities for $16,667 per month for six years.

         Aggregate rent expense for the years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994

 9.   Shareholders' Equity

         In fiscal  1994,  the Company  issued  987,000  shares of common  stock
pursuant to a Regulation S exemption. The average price per share was $.93.

         Under the Company's 1990 Equity  Incentive  Plan, as amended,  the 1992
Employee  Stock Option Plan, and the 1992  Non-Employee  Director Plan a maximum
aggregate  of  1,300,000  shares of common  stock are  reserved  for grant.  The
Company has also granted  nonqualified  stock options to individuals  outside of
the stock option plan.  The plan  provides for the issuance to key  employees of
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at no less than 100% of
the fair value on the date of the grant.  Options become  exercisable in varying
amounts over periods of one to four years from the date of grant. Certain of the
Company's stock options become immediately  exercisable upon the occurrence of a
change of control of the Company, as defined.

         In an effort to provide additional  incentive to its key employees,  on

10.  Preferred Stock

         The Company has authorized  505,000 shares of preferred stock, which is
to be issued in one  series,  Series A. On March 1,  1993,  the  Company  issued
468,399  shares of  preferred  stock for certain  assets and the  assumption  of
certain  liabilities  of Beacon  Laboratories  (Note 2). Each share of preferred
stock is convertible  into one share of common stock, at any time, at the option
of the shareholders.  The preferred shares automatically  convert into shares of
common stock in the event that the public trading price of the Company' s common
stock  exceeds  $10.00 per share for a period of twenty  consecutive  days.  The
conversion factor is also subject to adjustment in certain situations.

         Preferred  shareholders have the right to vote with common shareholders
based upon the number of shares into which the preferred shares may convert. The
Company, at its option, may redeem the preferred shares at a price of $10.00 per
share at any time.  In the event that the Company  liquidates,  winds  down,  or
dissolves,  preferred  shareholders are entitled to $10.00 per share plus unpaid
dividends prior to any payments to the common shareholders.

         Dividends  are   cumulative  and  are  to  be  paid  to  the  preferred
shareholders based upon the following schedule:

                               CONMED CORPORATION
             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On March 14, 1995,  CONMED  Corporation  ("CONMED")  acquired  Birtcher  Medical
Systems Inc. ("Birtcher"), through an exchange of the Company's common stock for
all of the  outstanding  common and preferred  stock of Birtcher.  Each share of
Birtcher's  common  stock was  converted  into 1/12 of a share of CONMED  common
stock and each share of Birtcher's  preferred  stock was converted into 1/2 of a
share of CONMED  common  stock.  As a result of the exchange of stock,  Birtcher
became a wholly owned  subsidiary of CONMED.  Approximately  1,080,000 shares of
the CONMED common stock was issued to effect the  acquisition.  The value of the
stock issued together with cash acquisition costs approximates $25,000,000.

The  acquisition  was  accounted  for using the purchase  method of  accounting.
Allocations of the purchase price have been  determined  based upon  preliminary
estimates  of  fair  market  value  and,  therefore,   are  subject  to  change.
Differences  between the amounts  included herein and the final  allocations are
not  expected  to be  material.  The  proforma  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the historical financial statements.

The  following  pro forma  consolidated  statement  of income for the year ended
December  30, 1994 has been  prepared  as if the  purchase  transaction  and the
related  bank  financing  had occurred at the  beginning of 1994.  The pro forma
balance  sheet  at  December  30,  1994  has been  prepared  as if the  purchase
accounting  had been applied at that date. The pro forma  adjustments  are based
upon available  information and certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable.

The pro forma  statements do not purport to represent  what CONMED's  results of
operations  would  actually have been if such  transactions  had occurred at the
beginning of the period or to project the results of operations as of any future
date or for any future period.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma consolidated Balance Sheet

         1.  Demonstration  equipment  of  Birtcher  has  been  reclassified  to
inventory to conform to the classification methodology of CONMED.

         2.  The  acquisition  of  Birtcher  was  effected  by the  issuance  of
approximately 1,080,000 shares of CONMED Common Stock for all of the outstanding
shares of Birtcher Common Stock and Birtcher  Preferred  Stock.  The transaction
will be accounted for as a purchase.  The total purchase price,  historical book
value and  preliminary  adjustments of book value resulting from the acquisition
are summarized as follows:

Acquisition costs to reflect the financing of the purchase price are set forth below:
  Fair market value of CONMED Common Stock issued ......................................            $ 17,734

</TABLE>
         3. Current  portion of long-term  debt ($1,754) and bank line of credit
($4,467) for Birtcher  have been adjusted to reflect the repayment of Birtcher's
outstanding  debt.  This debt will be refinanced with a borrowing under a credit
facility of CONMED.  CONMED has received a  commitment  from a bank to refinance
CONMED's  and  Birtcher's   existing  bank  debt.  The  commitment   includes  a
$30,000,000 term facility that is payable over five years at an interest rate of
1.625% over LIBOR.  A 1/8% change in the LIBOR rate would have  approximately  a
$20,000  annual  effect on interest  cost.  The committed  credit  facility also
includes a  $10,000,000  line of credit  with  interest  at LIBOR plus 1.5%.  No
adjustment  for  interest  has been made to the Pro Forma  Statements  of Income
(Loss)  because  the net  change  from  current  interest  rates for  CONMED and
Birtcher to the refinanced interest rate is not material.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss)

         1. Sales and cost of sales have been  adjusted for sales of products by
CONMED to Birtcher  ($416 for the year ended  December 30, 1994).  Cost of sales
and  engineering  and  development  expense  have been  adjusted  to  conform to
CONMED's presentation for the year ended December 30, 1994.

         2. Selling,  general and administrative expense has been increased $154
for the year ended December 30, 1994  reflecting the additional  amortization of
intangible  assets  resulting  from purchase  accounting  adjustments  using the
straight-line  method over the estimated  remaining useful lives of the acquired
assets.  Patents  are  amortized  over a ten-year  period  corresponding  to the
average life  remaining on  significant  patents.  Goodwill is amortized  over a
40-year period.

Selling,  general ad administration expense has been reduced $6,043 for the year
ended  December 30, 1994 due to the reduction in costs  implemented by CONMED at
the  acquisition  date which included  reductions in  administration,  sales and
marketing staffs and the closing of Birtcher's headquarters.

Research  and  development  expense  has been  reduced  $635 for the year  ended
December  30, 1994 for the cost of  consultants  paid by Birtcher  for  research
activities which will not be continued by CONMED.

The Birtcher  restructuring  change of $14,941  recorded by Birtcher in 1994 has
been  eliminated  from the pro  forma  Statement  of Income  for the year  ended
December 30, 1994 because the costs  associated  with this  restructuring  would
have been  provided  for in purchase  accounting  adjustments  effective  at the
beginning of 1994.

         3. Entry to reflect estimated tax effect of Birtcher's  historical loss
and the pro forma adjustments.

         4.  The  acquisition  of  Birtcher  was  effected  by the  issuance  of
approximately 1,080,000 shares of CONMED Common Stock for all of the outstanding
shares of Birtcher Common Stock and Birtcher Preferred Stock.
