                        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,
2001 and 2000,  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").  The Plan is a
     defined  contribution plan covering all full-time  employees of the Company
     and its subsidiaries  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 $10,500 per year on a pretax
     basis  for  2001  and  2000.  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.

     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 twelve 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.

1. Establishment and Description of Plan (Continued)

   Investment Options (Continued)

     mutual fund seeks reasonable  income by investing at least 65% of its total
     assets in income-producing equity.

     Fund. This mutual fund seeks a high level of current income by investing in

     investing in high-quality, short-term securities.

     Managed Income  Portfolio Fund - This common  collective trust fund invests
     in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio.  The portfolio seeks preservation

     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.

     Puritan Fund - Invests in the Fidelity  Puritan Fund. The Fund seeks income
     and  capital  growth   consistent   with   reasonable   risk  by  investing

     remainder in bonds and other debt securities.

     Aggressive  Growth Fund - Invests in the Fidelity  Aggressive  Growth Fund.

     International Fund. This Fund seeks capital growth by normally investing at
     least 65% of total assets in foreign securities.

     mutual funds as directed by individual participants.



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 the twelve investment  options consistent with the participant's
contribution investment election.

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.

     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
     twelve 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, as amended, continues to qualify and to operate as designed.
