                   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 six months  ended June 30,  1995 and
June 28,  1996 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  27, 1996 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 six months
ended June 30,  1995 and June 28,  1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results of  operations  to be  expected  for any other  quarter nor for the year
ending  December 27,  1996.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes
thereto  should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes
for the years ended  December  30, 1994 and  December  29, 1995  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.

Note 5 - Business acquisitions

         On March 14, 1995, the Company 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.  In  connection  with this
transaction,  the Company  issued  1,590,000  shares of common  stock  valued at
$17,750,000  and  assumed  approximately  $3,500,000  of  net  liabilities.  The
acquisition   was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,  the results of operations of the acquired business are included in
the consolidated  results of the Company from the date of acquisition.  Goodwill
associated with the acquisition is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
a 40 year period.

         On May 19, 1995,  the Company  acquired the business and certain assets
of the Master Medical  Corporation  ("Master Medical") for a cash purchase price
of  approximately  $9,500,000  and  assumption of $500,000 of  liabilities.  The
acquisition   was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.
Accordingly,  the results of operations of the acquired business are included in
the consolidated  results of the Company from the date of acquisition.  Goodwill
associated with the acquisition is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
a 15 year period.

         On February  23,  1996,  the Company  acquired the business and certain
assets of New Dimensions in Medicine,  Inc. ("NDM") for a cash purchase price of
approximately  $31.2 million and the assumption of $2.7 million of  liabilities.
The  acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly,  the results of operations of the acquired business are included in
the consolidated  results of the Company from the date of acquisition.  Goodwill
associated with the acquisition is being amortized on a straight line basis over
a 40 year period.  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-allocations  will have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

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

Note 6 - Stock Split and Stock Offering

         On October 31, 1995,  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 November  30, 1995 to  shareholders  of record on
November 13, 1995.  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.

         On March 20,  1996,  the  Company  completed  a public  offering of its
common stock whereby  3,000,000 and 850,000  shares of common stock were sold by
the Company and certain  shareholders,  respectively.  The common shares sold by
the shareholders were received upon the exercise of a warrant and options during
the first  quarter of 1996.  Net proceeds to the Company  related to the sale of
3,000,000   shares  and  exercise  of  the  warrant  and  options   amounted  to
approximately  $62,500,000  and  $3,500,000,   respectively.  Of  the  aggregate
proceeds, $65,000,000 was used to eliminate the Company's indebtedness under its
credit agreements.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 28, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995

         Sales for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 were $31,790,000, an increase
of 22.9%  compared to sales of  $25,875,000  in the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
The increase is primarily a result of incremental  sales volume  associated with
NDM acquisition which became effective February 23, 1996, and the Master Medical
acquisition  which was  reflected  in second  quarter 1995 results only from the
acquisition date of May 19, 1995.

         Cost of sales increased to $16,505,000 in the current quarter  compared
to the $13,498,000 in the same quarter a year ago as a result of increased sales
volume. The gross margin percentage increased to 48.1% from 47.8%. The continued
improvement  in gross  margin  percentage  reflects  the  economies of scale and
manufacturing  efficiencies resulting from the completed  acquisitions,  and the
cost saving  resulting  from the fourth  quarter 1995 move of the  Company's ECG
electrode  manufacturing  facility from  Haverhill,  Massachusetts  to Rome, New
York.

         Selling and administrative expenses increased to $8,140,000 compared to
$6,779,000 in the second quarter of 1995. This increase results from the effects
of  the  acquisitions.   As  a  percentage  of  sales,   however,   selling  and
administrative  expense declined to 25.6% from 26.2% in the comparable period of
1995.  This  decrease  results from  economies of scale and the  elimination  of
duplicate administrative and selling costs from the acquired businesses.

         Research and development  expenditures remained  substantially the same
in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995.

         The second quarter of 1996 had interest income of $150,000  compared to
interest  expense of $501,000 in the second quarter of 1995. As discussed  below
under  Liquidity  and Capital  Resources,  all of the Company  indebtedness  was
repaid in the first  quarter of 1996 with the  proceeds  of a March 1996  equity
offering.

         The provision for income tax increased in 1996 due to the higher income
before tax.

Six months ended June 28, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995

         The Company  recorded net sales of $60,990,000 for the six months ended
June 28, 1996 compared to $45,628,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of 34%.  The increase is  substantially  a result of the effects of the
Birtcher, Master Medical and NDM acquisitions.

         The  Company's  gross margin was 48.1% for the first six months of 1996
compared  to 46.9% for the first six months of 1995.  As  discussed  above,  the
increase in gross margin percent is primarily a result of economies of scale and
efficiencies  resulting  from  the  completed  acquisitions  and the move of the
Company's ECG electrode manufacturing facility.

         Selling and administrative costs have increased comparing the first six
months  of 1996 with the first  six  months  of 1995 due to the  effects  of the
acquisitions.  However,  as a percentage  of sales,  selling and  administrative
expense  declined  to 25.7%  from  26.6% in the prior  comparable  period due to
economies of scale resulting from acquisitions.
<PAGE>
         The first six months of 1996 had interest expense of $532,000  compared
to interest  expense of $695,000 in the first six months of 1995.  As  discussed
under Liquidity and Capital  Resources,  maximum borrowings during the first two
quarters of 1996 was  $65,000,000  of which  $32,660,000  related to  borrowings
associated with the February 23, 1996 acquisition of NDM. All such  indebtedness
was repaid in late March 1996 with proceeds from the Company's  equity offering.
Aggregate  indebtedness at June 30, 1995 was approximately  $35,000,000 of which
approximately  $11,000,000  was  incurred  in the  first  six  months of 1995 to
facilitate  the Birtcher  acquisition  and  $10,000,000  was incurred to acquire
Master Medical on May 19, 1995.


Liquidity and Capital

         Cash flows  provided  or used by  operating,  investing  and  financing
activities  for the  first  six  months  of 1995 and 1996 are  disclosed  in the
Consolidated  Statements  of Cash Flows.  Net cash  provided by  operations  was
$7,090,000  for the first six months of 1996 as  compared  to  $512,000  for the
first six months of 1995.  Operating  cash flows for the first half of 1996 were
aided by higher net income compared to the same period in 1995. Depreciation and
amortization  in 1996  increased  due  primarily to the effects of the completed
acquisitions.  First  half 1996  cash  flows  from  operations  were  negatively
impacted by increases in  inventories  and other  assets,  and payments of other
current  liabilities.  Adding to cash flows from  operations  were  increases in
income taxes payable and the income tax benefit of stock option exercises.

         Net cash used by investing activities was $33,404,000 in the first half
of 1996  compared to  $13,435,000  in the first half of 1995.  Cash used for the
1996 acquisition of NDM approximated  $31,172,000.  Additions to property, plant
and equipment for the first six months of 1996 amounted to $2,232,000.

         Cash flows from financing activities were $33,123,000 for the first six
months of 1996. In connection with the NDM acquisition on February 23, 1996, the
Company  borrowed  $32,660,000  bringing  aggregate  borrowings under its credit
facility to  $65,000,000.  On March 20,  1996,  the Company  completed an equity
offering of common stock and used  $65,000,000  of the proceeds to eliminate the
indebtedness of the Company.

         The  Company's  credit  facility  consists  of  a  $60,000,000  secured
revolving line of credit which expires in March 2001.  This facility  carries an
interest  rate  of  0.5%-1.25%   over  LIBOR  depending  on  defined  cash  flow
performance ratios.

         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.
