Note 5 - Earnings per share
- ---------------------------

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted  average number
of common  shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential shares  outstanding  (i.e.,  options and warrants) during the
period. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in
the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands):

                                  Three months ended   Six months ended
                                       June 30,            June 30,
                                       --------            --------

                                    ----      ----      ----      ----
Shares used in the calculation
  of Basic EPS(weighted average
  shares outstanding) .........    23,111    26,584    23,084    25,735

Effect of dilutive potential
  securities ..................       288       775       268       687
                                   ------    ------    ------    ------

Shares used in the calculation
  of Diluted EPS ..............    23,399    27,359    23,352    26,422
                                   ======    ======    ======    ======


The shares used in the  calculation of diluted EPS exclude  warrants and options
to purchase  shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market
price of common shares for the period. Such shares aggregated  3,194,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001,  and  3,446,000  for the six months ended June
30, 2001.  There were no options or warrants  whose  exercise price exceeded the
average  market  price of common  shares for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002.

Note 6 - Shareholders' equity
- -----------------------------

In 1997, in connection with the acquisition of Linvatec  Corporation,  we issued
to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company a warrant exercisable in whole or in part for up
to 1.5 million shares of our common stock at a price of $22.82 per share. On May
6, 2002,  we  purchased  the warrant for $2.0  million in cash and  subsequently
cancelled  it. The  purchase  resulted in a $2.0  million  reduction  to paid-in
capital.

On May 29,  2002,  we completed a public  offering of 3.0 million  shares of our
common  stock.  Net  proceeds to the  Company  related to the sale of the shares
approximated $66.6 million and was used to reduce  indebtedness under our credit
facility.


Note 7 - New accounting pronouncements
- --------------------------------------

In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board approved  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
("SFAS  142").  We  adopted  SFAS 142  effective  January  1,  2002.  Under this
standard,  amortization  of goodwill and certain  intangible  assets,  including
certain intangibles recorded as a result of past business combinations, is to be
discontinued upon adoption of SFAS 142.

During 2002,  we performed  tests of goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangible
assets as of January  1,  2002.  We tested  for  impairment  using the  two-step
process  prescribed  in SFAS  142.  The  first  step is a screen  for  potential
impairment.  The second step,  which has been  determined  not to be  necessary,
measures the amount of any impairment. No impairment losses have been recognized
as a result of these tests. The following is a reconciliation  assuming goodwill
and other  intangible  assets had been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142
in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

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

Forward-Looking Statements Made in this Form 10-Q

In this Form  10-Q,  we make  forward-looking  statements  about  our  financial
condition,  results of operations and business.  Forward-looking  statements are
statements made by us concerning events that may or may not occur in the future.
These  statements may be made directly in this document or may be  "incorporated
by reference"  from other  documents.  You can find many of these  statements by
looking for words like  "believes,"  "expects,"  "anticipates,"  "estimates"  or
similar expressions.

Forward-Looking Statements are not Guarantees of Future Performance

Forward-looking  statements  involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties and
other factors, including those that may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements,  or industry results,  to be materially  different from any future
results,   performance   or   achievements   expressed   or   implied   by  such
forward-looking  statements.  Such factors include those  identified under "Risk
Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended  December 31, 2001
and the following, among others:

o    general economic and business conditions;

o    changes in customer preferences;

o    changes in technology;

o    the introduction of new products;

o    changes in business strategy;

o    the   possibility   that  United  States  or  foreign   regulatory   and/or
     administrative  agencies might initiate  enforcement  actions against us or
     our distributors;

o    quality of our  management  and business  abilities and the judgment of our
     personnel; and

o    the availability, terms and deployment of capital.

See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"  below  and  "Business"  in our  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year-ended December 31, 2001 for a further discussion of these factors.  You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly
release any revisions to these  forward-looking  statements to reflect events or
circumstances  after the date of this Form 10Q or to reflect the  occurrence  of
unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

The  accounting  policies  discussed  below are  considered  by management to be
critical to understanding our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounts receivable sale

On November 1, 2001, we entered into a five-year accounts receivable sales
agreement pursuant to which we and certain of our subsidiaries sell on an
ongoing basis certain accounts receivable to CONMED Receivables Corporation,
("CRC"), our wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. CRC may in turn sell up to
an aggregate $50.0 million undivided percentage ownership interest in such
receivables to a commercial paper

                                       16




conduit (the  "conduit  purchaser").  For  receivables  that have been sold,  we
retain collection and administrative  responsibilities  as agent for the conduit
purchaser.  As of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, the undivided  percentage
ownership  interest  in  receivables  sold  by  CRC  to  the  conduit  purchaser
aggregated  $40.0  million  and  $36.0  million,  respectively,  which  has been
accounted  for as a sale and  reflected  in the balance  sheet as a reduction in
accounts receivable. We used the initial $40.0 million in proceeds from the sale
of accounts  receivable  in  November  2001 to repay a portion of our term loans
under  our  credit  agreement.  Expenses  associated  with the sale of  accounts
receivable,   including  the  conduit  purchaser's  financing  cost  of  issuing
commercial  paper,  were $0.3  million  and $0.6  million,  in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

There are certain  statistical  ratios,  primarily related to sales dilution and
losses on accounts  receivable  which must be calculated  and  maintained on the
pool of receivables in order to continue  selling to the conduit  purchaser.  We
believe that  additional  accounts  receivable  arising in the normal  course of
business  will be of  sufficient  quality and quantity to qualify for sale under
the  accounts  receivable  sales  agreement.  In the  event  that  new  accounts
receivable  arising in the normal  course of  business  do not qualify for sale,
then collections on sold  receivables will flow to the conduit  purchaser rather
than  being used to fund new  receivable  purchases.  If this were to occur,  we
would need to access an alternate source of working capital.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of identifiable
net assets of acquired  businesses.  Other intangible assets primarily represent
allocations  of purchase  price to  identifiable  intangible  assets of acquired
businesses.  Goodwill  and other  intangible  assets  have been  amortized  over
periods  ranging  from 5 to 40 years.  Because of our history of growth  through
acquisitions,  goodwill  and other  intangible  assets  comprise  a  substantial
portion (61.2% at June 30, 2002) of our total assets.

In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board approved  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
("SFAS  142").  We  adopted  SFAS 142  effective  January  1,  2002.  Under this
standard,  amortization  of goodwill and certain  intangible  assets,  including
certain intangibles recorded as a result of past business combinations, is to be
discontinued upon adoption of SFAS 142.

During 2002,  we performed  tests of goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangible
assets as of January  1,  2002.  We tested  for  impairment  using the  two-step
process  prescribed  in SFAS  142.  The  first  step is a screen  for  potential
impairment.  The second step,  which has been  determined  not to be  necessary,
measures the amount of any impairment. No impairment losses have been recognized
as a result of these tests. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002,
net  income   increased   by   approximately   $1.4  million  and  $2.8  million
respectively, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142.

Derivative financial instruments

We use an interest  rate swap, a form of  derivative  financial  instrument,  to
manage interest rate risk. We have designated as a cash-flow  hedge, an interest
rate swap which effectively  converts $50.0 million of LIBOR-based floating rate
debt under our credit facility into fixed rate debt with a base interest rate of
7.01%.  The  interest  rate  swap  expires  in  June  2003  and is  included  in
liabilities on the balance sheet with a fair value  approximating  $2.4 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002,  gross holding losses on the interest
rate swap were $.6 million,  before  income  taxes,  and holding  losses of $1.3
million,  before income  taxes,  were  reclassified  and included


                                       17





in net  income.  There were no  material  changes in our market  risk during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002.  For a detailed  discussion  of market
risk,  see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2001,
Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Revenue recognition

Revenue  is  recognized  when  title to the  goods  and risk of loss pass to our
customers.  Amounts  billed to customers  related to shipping and handling costs
are included in net sales. We assess the risk of loss on accounts receivable and
adjust  the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  based on this risk  assessment.
Historically,  losses on accounts receivable have not been material.  We believe
the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.3 million at June 30, 2002 is adequate
to provide for any potential losses from accounts receivable.

Sales for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002 were $111.3  million,  an increase of
6.8%  compared  to sales of  $104.2  million  in the same  quarter  a year  ago.
Adjusted for  constant  foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  sales growth in the
second  quarter of 2002 would have been  approximately  6.3% as  compared to the
same period a year ago.

o    Sales in our  orthopedic  businesses  increased  2.7% to $68.2 million from
     $66.4 million in the comparable quarter last year.

o    Arthroscopy  sales, which represented  approximately  60.4% of total second
     quarter 2002  orthopedic  revenues,  grew 8.4% to $41.2  million from $38.0
     million in the same period a year ago on  strength  in sales of  disposable
     products and video equipment.

o    Powered surgical instrument sales, which represented approximately 39.6% of
     orthopedic revenues,  decreased 4.9% to $27.0 million from $28.4 million in
     the same quarter last year. We introduced  our  PowerPro(R)battery  powered
     product line in February 2002,  replacing older versions of battery powered
     instruments.  First  shipments  of this new product line were made in March
     2002.   We  expect  that  once   PowerPro(R)becomes   established   in  the
     marketplace, it will enable us to resume overall growth in powered surgical
     instrument sales.

o    Patient  care sales for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2002 were $17.1
     million,  a 2.8% decline from $17.6  million in the same period a year ago,
     driven primarily by declines in sales of our surgical suction product lines
     as a result of significant competition and pricing pressures.  Sales of ECG
     and other patient care products were largely  stable in the second  quarter
     of 2002 as compared with the same period a year ago.

o    Electrosurgery  sales for the three  months  ended June 30, 2002 were $17.0
     million,  a decrease  of 1.0% from $17.1  million in the second  quarter of
     last year, as sales of electrosurgical generators and disposables were flat
     compared with the same period a year ago.

o    Sales of endoscopy  products  increased to $9.0 million in the three months
     ended  June 30,  2002  from  $3.0  million  in the same  period a year ago,
     primarily as a result of our acquisition of the minimally invasive surgical
     business of Imagyn Medical Technologies,  Inc. on July 6, 2001 (the "second
     Imagyn acquisition").

Cost of sales  increased  to $51.7  million  in the  second  quarter  of 2002 as
compared  to $50.0  million  in the same  quarter  a year ago as a result of the
increased sales volumes described above, while gross margin percentage increased
to 53.5% in the second  quarter of 2002 compared to 52.0% in the second  quarter
of 2001,  primarily  as a result  of  increased  sales  in the  arthroscopy  and
endoscopy  product  lines which carry higher  gross  margins than certain of our
other product lines.

Selling and  administrative  expense  increased  to $35.1  million in the second
quarter of 2002 as compared to $33.9 million in the second quarter of 2001. As a
percentage of sales,  selling and  administrative  expense  totaled 31.6% in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to 32.6% in the second  quarter of 2001.  During
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, selling and administrative expense decreased by
approximately $2.2 million,  before income taxes, as a result of the adoption of
SFAS  142.  Excluding  the  impact of the  adoption  of SFAS  142,  selling  and
administrative   expense  in  the  second   quarter  of  2002  would  have  been
approximately  $37.3  million or 33.5% as a percentage  of sales,  increasing by
approximately  .9% when  compared with the same period a year ago, but remaining
within the range of our historical percentages.

Research and development expense increased to $4.1 million in the second quarter
of 2002 as compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. This increase
represents  continued research and development  efforts primarily focused on new
product  development in the orthopedic  product lines. As a percentage of sales,
research  and  development  expense  increased  to 3.7% in the  current  quarter
compared to 3.3% in the same quarter a year ago but remains  within the range of
our historical percentages.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2002 was $6.4 million compared to $7.8
million in the second  quarter of 2001.  The  decrease  in  interest  expense is
primarily  a result of lower  total  borrowings  outstanding  during the current
quarter as compared to the same period a year ago, as  borrowings  have declined
to $257.7  million at June 30, 2002 as  compared  to $367.7  million at June 30,
2001.  Additionally,  the weighted  average interest rates on our borrowings has
declined to 7.03% at June 30, 2002 as compared to 7.17% at June 30, 2001.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $224.5 million, an increase of
6.9%  compared  to sales  of  $210.1  million  in the  same  period a year  ago.
Fluctuations  in foreign  currency  exchange  rates in the first half of 2002 as
compared  to the same  period a year ago did not have a  significant  effect  on
sales.

o    Sales in our  orthopedic  businesses  increased 0.5% to $137.9 million from
     $137.2 million in the comparable period last year.

o    Arthroscopy  sales,  which represented  approximately  59.8% of total first
     half 2002  orthopedic  revenues,  grew  5.5% to $82.5  million  from  $78.2
     million in the same period a year ago on  strength  in sales of  disposable
     products and video equipment.

o    Powered surgical instrument sales, which represented approximately 40.2% of
     total first half 2002 orthopedic revenues,  decreased 6.1% to $55.4 million
     from  $59.0  million  in the same  period  last  year.  We  introduced  our
     PowerPro(R) battery powered product line in February 2002,  replacing older
     versions  of  battery  powered  instruments.  First  shipments  of this new
     product  line were made in March  2002.  We  expect  that once  PowerPro(R)
     becomes established in the marketplace, it will enable us to resume overall
     growth in powered surgical instrument sales.

o    Patient  care  sales for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2002 were  $34.4
     million,  a 2.3% decline from $35.2  million in the same period a year ago,
     driven primarily by declines in sales of our surgical suction product lines
     as a result of significant competition and pricing pressures.  Sales of ECG
     and other patient care  products  were largely  stable in the first half of
     2002 as compared with the same period a year ago.

o    Electrosurgery  sales for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2002 were $33.8
     million,  an increase of 5.3% from $32.1  million in the same period a year
     ago, driven by strong increases in electrosurgical disposables sales.

o    Sales of endoscopy  products  increased to $18.4  million in the six months
     ended  June 30,  2002  from  $5.6  million  in the same  period a year ago,
     primarily as a result of the second Imagyn acquisition.

Cost of sales  increased to $105.8 million in the first half of 2002 as compared
to $99.6  million  in the same  period a year ago as a result  of the  increased
sales volumes described above, while gross margin percentage  increased to 52.9%
in the first half of 2002 compared to 52.6% in the first half of 2001, primarily
as a result of increased sales in the  arthroscopy  and endoscopy  product lines
which carry higher gross margins than certain of our other product lines.


                                       20




Selling and administrative  expense increased to $69.6 million in the first half
of 2002 as compared to $68.8  million in the first half of 2001. As a percentage
of sales, selling and administrative  expense totaled 31.1% in the first half of
2002  compared to 32.7% in the first half of 2001.  During the six months  ended
June 30, 2002,  selling and  administrative  expense  decreased by approximately
$4.4  million,  before  income  taxes,  as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142.
Excluding  the impact of the  adoption of SFAS 142,  selling and  administrative
expense in the first half of 2002 would have been approximately $74.0 million or
33.0% as a percentage of sales,  increasing slightly when compared with the same
period a year ago but remaining within the range of our historical percentages.

Research and development  expense increased to $7.9 million in the first half of
2002 as  compared  to $7.2  million  in the first  half of 2001.  This  increase
represents  continued research and development  efforts primarily focused on new
product  development in the orthopedic  product lines. As a percentage of sales,
research and development  expense remained constant at 3.5% in the first half of
2002 compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest  expense in the first six months of 2002 was $13.0 million  compared to
$16.2 million in the first six months of 2001. The decrease in interest  expense
is primarily a result of lower total borrowings  outstanding  during the current
period as compared to the same period a year ago, as borrowings have declined to
$257.7  million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $367.7 million at June 30, 2001.
Additionally, the weighted average interest rates on our borrowings has declined
to 7.03% at June 30, 2002 as compared to 7.17% at June 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash generated from our  operations  and borrowings  under our revolving  credit
facility have  traditionally  provided the working  capital for our  operations,
debt  service  under  our  credit  facility  and  the  funding  of  our  capital
expenditures. In addition, we have used term borrowings, including:

o    borrowings under our credit facility;

o    Senior  Subordinated Notes issued to refinance  borrowings under our credit
     facility, in the case of the acquisition of Linvatec Corporation in 1997;

o    borrowings  under  separate loan  facilities,  in the case of real property
     acquisitions, to finance our acquisitions.


On May 29,  2002,  we completed a public  offering of 3.0 million  shares of our
common  stock.  Net  proceeds to the  Company  related to the sale of the shares
approximated $66.6 million and was used to reduce  indebtedness under our credit
facility.  We  expect to  continue  to use cash  flow  from our  operations  and
borrowings  under our revolving  credit facility to finance our operations,  our
debt service under our credit  facility and term  borrowings  and the funding of
our capital expenditures.

Our term loans  under our  credit  facility  at June 30,  2002  aggregate  $49.0
million.  Our  term  loans  are  repayable  quarterly  over  remaining  terms of
approximately  three years.  Our credit  facility also includes a $100.0 million
revolving  credit  facility  which  expires  December 31,  2002,  of which $44.0
million was available at June 30, 2002. The borrowings under the credit facility
carry  interest  rates  based on a spread  over  LIBOR  or an  alternative  base
interest  rate. The weighted  average  interest rates at June 30, 2002 under the
term loans and the revolving credit facility were 3.98% and 5.00%, respectively.


                                       21




The  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  are in  aggregate  principal  amount of $130.0
million,  have a maturity  date of March 15, 2008 and bear  interest at 9.0% per
annum which is payable semi-annually.

We used term loans to purchase  the property in Largo,  Florida  utilized by our
Linvatec  subsidiary.  The term loans consist of a Class A note bearing interest
at 7.50% per annum with  semiannual  payments of principal and interest  through
June  2009,  a Class C note  bearing  interest  at 8.25%  per  annum  compounded
semiannually through June 2009, after which semiannual payments of principal and
interest will commence,  continuing through June 2019 and a seller-financed note
bearing  interest  at 6.50% per annum with  monthly  payments of  principal  and
interest  through July 2013. The principal  balances  outstanding on the Class A
note,  Class C note and  seller-financed  note  aggregate  $11.2  million,  $6.7
million and $4.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2002.

Our net working capital  position was $49.2 million at June 30, 2002 as compared
to $44.7 million at December 31, 2001.  Included in net working capital is $56.0
million owed on our revolving  credit facility which  terminates on December 31,
2002.  We are  currently in  discussions  with our bank group to  refinance  our
credit  agreement  including  the  revolving  credit  facility.   Based  on  our
discussions,  we  believe  that we will be able to  successfully  complete a new
credit  arrangement  in the third quarter of 2002 which will provide  sufficient
capital  for our  business.  However,  because  of changed  economic  conditions
compared to market  conditions  in 1997 when our present  credit  agreement  was
completed,  we expect,  based on discussions  with our bank group,  that any new
facility  will  carry  interest  costs 75 to 100 basis  points  higher  than our
present  credit  agreement.  Based on the amounts  outstanding  at June 30, 2002
under the credit  agreement,  an increase of 75 to 100 basis points would result
in an increase in annual interest expense of  approximately  $.8 million to $1.1
million.  Assuming  an all new  credit  facility  is  entered  into in the third
quarter,  we expect to record an  extraordinary  charge in the third  quarter of
approximately  $1.0  million,   net  of  income  taxes,  related  to  the  early
extinguishment  of  debt,  to  write  off  the  remaining  unamortized  deferred
financing costs  associated with the remaining three years on the current credit
facility.

On  November 1, 2001,  we entered  into a five-year  accounts  receivable  sales
agreement  pursuant  to  which we and  certain  of our  subsidiaries  sell on an
ongoing basis certain accounts receivable to CONMED Receivables  Corporation,  a
wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. CRC may in turn sell up to an aggregate
$50.0 million undivided  percentage ownership interest in those receivables to a
commercial  paper  conduit.  As of  December  31,  2001 and June 30,  2002,  the
undivided  percentage  ownership  interest  in  receivables  sold  by  CRC  to a
commercial   paper  conduit   aggregated   $40.0  million  and  $36.0   million,
respectively,  which  has  been  accounted  for as a sale and  reflected  in the
balance sheet as a reduction in accounts  receivable.  We used the initial $40.0
million in proceeds  from the sale of accounts  receivable  in November  2001 to
repay a portion of our term loans under our credit agreement.  There are certain
statistical  ratios  primarily  related to sales dilution and losses on accounts
receivable which must be calculated and maintained on the pool of receivables in
order to continue selling to the conduit  purchaser.  We believe that additional
accounts  receivable  arising  in the  normal  course  of  business  will  be of
sufficient  quality  and  quantity  to  qualify  for  sale  under  the  accounts
receivable sales agreement. In the event that new accounts receivable arising in
the normal course of business do not qualify for sale, then  collections on sold
receivables  will flow to the conduit  purchaser  rather than being used to fund
new  receivable  purchases.  If this were to occur,  we would  need to access an
alternate source of working capital.

Net cash  provided  by  operations,  which we also refer to as  "operating  cash
flow,"  increased to $17.9  million for the


                                       22





first half of 2002  compared  to $17.6  million  for the same period a year ago.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, operating cash flow decreased by $4.0
million due to a decrease in the sale of accounts  receivable under the accounts
receivable sales agreement. Excluding the decrease in accounts receivable sales,
operating cash flow increased to $21.9 million.

In  reconciling  net income to operating  cash flow,  operating cash flow in the
first half of 2002 was positively  impacted by  depreciation,  amortization  and
increases in accounts payable and deferred income taxes and negatively  impacted
primarily by increases in accounts  receivable  and  inventory  and decreases in
accrued compensation and accrued interest.  The increases in accounts receivable
and inventory are  primarily  related to an increase in sales.  The increases in
accounts payable and deferred income taxes and decreases in accrued compensation
and  interest  are  primarily  related  to the  timing of the  payment  of these
liabilities.

Capital  expenditures  in the six months  ended June 30, 2002 were $8.4  million
compared  to  $8.7  million  in the  same  period  a  year  ago.  These  capital
expenditures  represent  the  ongoing  capital  investment  requirements  of our
business  and are  expected to continue  at the rate of  approximately  $12.0 to
$14.0 million annually.  Net cash used by investing activities in the six months
ended June 30, 2002 also  included  $1.4  million  related to the  purchase of a
product line.

Financing  activities in the first half of 2002  consisted  primarily of the net
proceeds of $66.6 million  received by the Company as a result of the completion
of a public offering of 3.0 million shares of our common stock.  The proceeds of
the stock  offering  were used to repay  term loans  under our credit  facility.
Repayments  on our term debt and  revolving  credit  facility as a result of the
stock  offering and cash  generated  from  operations  in the first half of 2002
totaled $76.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.  Concurrent with the stock
offering,  we repurchased for $2.0 million from  Bristol-Myers  Squibb Company a
warrant  exercisable  for 1.5 million shares of our common stock.  Proceeds from
the exercise of stock options in the first half of 2002 totaled $3.5 million.

Assuming the successful  renegotiation  of our credit facility  discussed above,
management  believes  that cash  generated  from  operations,  our current  cash
resources and funds available  under our revolving  credit facility will provide
sufficient  liquidity to ensure continued  working capital for operations,  debt
service and funding of capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

There were no capital lease obligations or unconditional purchase obligations as
of June 30, 2002. The following  table  summarizes our  contractual  obligations
related to operating leases and long-term debt as of June 30, 2002:



                                                                       (Amounts in thousands)

Included in long-term  debt  obligations  in 2002 is $56.0 million due under our
revolving credit facility.


                                       23





As  indicated  under  "Liquidity  and Capital  Resources",  we are  currently in
discussions with our bank group to refinance our credit agreement  including the
revolving credit facility.  If these negotiations are successful,  payments on a
substantial  portion of our long-term  debt due in 2002 through 2005,  including
the current portion of that long-term debt  represented by our revolving  credit
facility, would be due at later dates.
