Report of Independent Accountants
To the Participants and Administrator of
CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Establishment and Description of Plan
Effective January 1992, CONMED Corporation (the "Company")
established the CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the
"Plan"). Effective as of January 1, 1999, the CONMED Corporation
Retirement Savings Plan, the Aspen Laboratories, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan, and the Linvatec Corporation Savings and Investment
Plan, which were previously separate plans maintained by CONMED
Corporation and its subsidiaries, were merged with and into the
CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan. The Plan is a defined
contribution plan covering all full-time employees of the Company who
meet the applicable age and service requirements set forth in the
Plan document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The following brief
description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes
only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information.
Administration of the Plan
The Company serves as Plan Administrator with full power, authority
and responsibility to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan.
Contributions
A participant could contribute up to 16 percent of his or her annual
compensation, as defined, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year on a
pretax basis for 2000 and 1999. The Company matches 50 percent of
each participant's contribution of up to a maximum of 6 percent of
participant compensation. Forfeitures of terminated participants'
non-vested accounts reduce employer contributions.
Contributions for the 1999 plan year include approximately $4,900,000
in transfers from a plan sponsored by a business acquired by the
Company.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contribution and allocation of (a) the Company's contribution and (b)
Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's
account.
Vesting
Each participant is immediately vested in his or her voluntary
contributions plus earnings thereon. A participant becomes vested in
the remainder of his or her account upon the completion of five years
of service.
Investment Options
A participant may direct contributions (in five percent increments)
to any of eleven investment options, as described by the plan
administrator:
CONMED Stock Fund - Funds are primarily invested in the common stock
of the Company.
FAM Value Fund - Funds are primarily invested in the Fenimore Asset
Management Fund.

seeks to earn a high level of current income while maintaining a

Income Portfolio. The portfolio seeks preservation of capital and
a competitive level of income over time by investing in short and
long-term investment contracts issued by insurance companies.
U.S. Equity Index Fund - Invests in the Spartan U.S. Equity Index
Fund. This mutual fund seeks a total return which corresponds to
that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index by attempting to
duplicate the composition and total return of the S&P 500.

seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk
by investing approximately 60% of assets in stocks and other
equity securities and the remainder in bonds and other debt

Growth Fund. The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in common stocks of domestic and foreign issuers that

normally investing at least 65% of total assets in foreign
securities.
Loans
A participant may obtain a loan between $500 and $50,000, limited to
fifty percent of his or her vested account balance. Each loan bears
interest at prime plus 1% and is secured by a lien on the borrowing
participant's plan account. Repayment is required over a period not
to exceed five years or up to 15 years where the loan is for the
purchase of a primary residence. Loan repayments are allocated among

1. Establishment and Description of Plan (Continued)
Payment of Benefits
Participants or their beneficiaries are eligible to receive benefits
under the Plan upon normal retirement, death, total and permanent
disability or termination for any reason other than those previously
mentioned. Benefits are payable in accordance with Plan provisions.
Inactive Accounts
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999 plan assets included approximately
$4,325,000 and $6,965,000, respectively, in amounts allocated to
accounts of persons who have withdrawn from the Plan, due to
termination, retirement or disability, but for which disbursement of
funds has not occurred.
Plan Termination
While the Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will
continue, it reserves the right to discontinue the Plan subject to
the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are stated at fair value. The Company stock is valued at
its quoted market price. Mutual fund investments are valued at the
net asset value, representing the value at which shares of the fund
may be purchased or redeemed. Investments in common collective trust
funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the trust
as determined by the investment manager.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are
recorded as of the ex-dividend date.
Contributions
Participant contributions and matching employer contributions are
recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll
deductions from the participants' earnings.
Administrative Expenses
All administrative expenses, including accounting, legal and trustee
fees are paid by the Company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and
deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination
of eleven funds. Investment securities are exposed to various risks,
such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities and the level of
uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities,
it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near
term would materially affect participants' account balances and the
amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits.
3. Income Tax Status
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is
qualified pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue
Code, and, accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt
from income taxes. The Plan has obtained a favorable tax
determination letter, dated June 20, 1995, from the Internal Revenue
Service and the Plan administrator believes that the Plan continues
to qualify and to operate as designed.
