We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2003 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 United States 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 audit 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.

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 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 1 to 50 percent of his or her annual compensation, as defined, up to the maximum annual limitations as provided by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches 50 percent of each participant's contribution up to a maximum of 6 percent of participant compensation. Forfeitures of terminated participants' non-vested accounts reduce employer contributions. Forfeitures reduced employer contributions by approximately $120,000 and $79,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocation of (a) the Company's contribution, (b) Plan earnings and (c) administrative expenses. 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 vested account. Vesting Each participant is immediately vested in his or her voluntary contributions plus earnings thereon. A participant becomes fully vested in the remainder of his or her account upon the completion of five years of service. Investment Options Participants are allowed to invest in a variety of investment choices as more fully described in the Plan literature. Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis. 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 percent 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 investment options consistent with the participant's contribution investment election. 5 CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 and 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the Plan agreement. 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. Reclassification To conform with financial statement groupings in 2003, certain items reported in 2002 have been reclassified for comparative purposes. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or changes in net assets for 2002. 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 of America. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments in common stock, debt securities and mutual funds are valued based upon quoted market prices in active markets. Investments in common collective trust funds are valued at the net asset value of securities held by the trust as determined by the investment manager. Cash, money market funds and participant loans are carried at cost which approximates market value. The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade-date basis. 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 The Plan's administrative expenses are paid by either the Plan or the Plan's Sponsor as defined in the Plan document. 6 CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 and 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Payment of Benefits Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. 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. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, 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 ("IRC"), and, accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes. The Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter, dated July 21, 2003, from the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan, as amended, is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. 4. Investments Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity") is the trustee of the Plan. As trustee, Fidelity holds the Plan's investment assets and executes investment transactions. Investments representing 5 percent or more of the net assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consist of the following: 7 CONMED Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003 and 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
