NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:     BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Biomet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as
the "Company").  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating

indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
May 31, 2006.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2005, has been derived
from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date, but does not
include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

The Company operates in one business segment, musculoskeletal products, which
includes the designing, manufacturing and marketing of reconstructive products,
fixation devices, spinal products and other products.  Other products consist
primarily of softgoods and bracing products, arthroscopy products, general
instruments and operating room supplies.  The Company manages its business
segment primarily on a geographic basis.  These geographic markets are
comprised of the United States, Europe and the Rest of World.  Major markets
included in the Rest of World geographic market are Canada, South America,
Mexico, Japan and the Pacific Rim.

Net sales of musculoskeletal products by product category are as follows for the
nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2006 and 2005:

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company accounts for its employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method.  Accordingly, no compensation expense
is recognized for the employee stock-based compensation plans.  If compensation
expense for the Company's employee stock options had been determined based on
the fair value method of accounting, pro forma net income and diluted earnings
per share for the nine and three month periods ended February 28, 2006 and 2005
would have been as follows:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", which
is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". SFAS
123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options,
to be expensed based on their fair values over the required award service
period. Although it is difficult to predict the exact impact the adoption of
SFAS 123(R) will have on the Company's consolidated earnings due to the number
of variables involved, we believe the above pro forma disclosures provide an
appropriate indicator of the level of expense that may be recognized upon
adoption of the statement.  The SEC has amended the compliance dates of SFAS
123(R) requiring adoption in the first fiscal year beginning after June 15,
2005. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123(R) on June 1, 2006.

NOTE 2:    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.

Other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments
and unrealized appreciation of available-for-sale securities, net of taxes.
Other comprehensive income for the three months ended February 28, 2006
and 2005 was $7,701,000 and $8,620,000, respectively.  Other comprehensive
income for the nine months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 was $(21,223,000
and $27,151,000, respectively.  Total comprehensive income combines reported
net income and other comprehensive income.  Total comprehensive income for the
three months ended February 28, 2006 and 2005 was $113,766,000 and $105,404,000,
respectively.  Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended February 28,

NOTE 4:     COMMON SHARES.

During the nine months ended February 28, 2006, the Company issued 649,814
Common Shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options for proceeds
aggregating $12,598,000.  Purchases of Common Shares pursuant to the Common
Share Repurchase Programs aggregated 4,456,400 shares for $159,122,000 during
the nine months ended February 28, 2006.

NOTE 5:     EARNINGS PER SHARE.

Earnings per common share amounts ("basic EPS") are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes
any potential dilution.  Earnings per common share amounts assuming dilution
("diluted EPS") are computed by reflecting potential dilution from the
exercise of stock options.

NOTE 6:     INCOME TAXES.

The difference between the reported provision for income taxes and a provision
computed by applying the federal statutory rate to pre-tax accounting income is
primarily attributable to state income taxes, tax benefits relating to
operations in Puerto Rico, tax-exempt income and tax credits.


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

On Monday, March 27, 2006, The Board of Directors of Biomet, Inc. announced
that Dane A. Miller, Ph.D., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
and a co-founder, has informed the Board of his decision to retire and has
resigned.  He will remain a Director and serve as a consultant.  The Board has
appointed Senior Vice President Daniel P. Hann, the Company's General Counsel
and a member of the Board, to be President and Chief Executive Officer on an
interim basis.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2006

The Company's cash and investments decreased $7,238,000 to $169,836,000 at
February 28, 2006.  This decrease resulted from the $62,473,000 dividend
payment made during the first quarter and the $159,122,000 used to purchase
shares during the first nine months pursuant to the Company's share repurchase
programs, offset by positive cash flow from operations.  On December 21, 2005,
the Company announced an expansion to its discretionary share repurchase
program to add an additional $100 million.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $277,938,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to $284,716,000 in 2005.  The primary
sources of fiscal year 2006 cash flows from operating activities was net
income adjusted for depreciation.  The primary uses were increases in accounts
receivable and inventory.  The Company's major cash collection day is Monday,
and as the Company's quarter end moves further away from a Monday, accounts
receivable ending balances increase.  Inventories increased from new product
introductions, specifically the Oxford, Vanguard and OSS knee systems, the
Magnum hip system, the ReCap resurfacing system and the Polaris spine system.
In addition, the Company increased inventory for the launch of its new bone
cements, while maintaining adequate supplies of its previous products.
Accounts and notes receivable and inventory balances were decreased during
the nine month period by $10.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively, due
to currency exchange rates.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $68,424,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 2006 compared to $337,672,000 in 2005.  The primary use of
cash flows from investing activities in fiscal 2006 has been for capital
expenditures.  The Company continues to upgrade its instruments used in various
international markets and to support the new implant systems being launched.
In addition, 3i is currently expanding its manufacturing facilities in Florida.
Last years investing activities included the acquisition of Interpore.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $213,677,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 2006 compared to a use of $3,078,000 in 2005.  The primary
uses of cash flows in financing activities were the cash dividend paid and
the share repurchase programs. In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors
declared a cash dividend of twenty five cents ($0.25) per share payable to
shareholders of record at the close of business on July 16, 2005.  Over the
last thirteen quarters, the Company has used $1 billion to purchase its
common stock.

Currently available funds, together with anticipated cash flows generated from
future operations are believed to be adequate to cover the Company's
anticipated cash requirements, including capital expenditures, research and
development costs and share repurchases.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2006
AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2005

Net sales increased 8% to $1,485,847,000 for the nine months ended February
28, 2006, from $1,376,857,000 for the same period last year.  Excluding the
impact from foreign currency, net sales grew 9%.  The Company's sales were
impacted by the hurricane activity in the gulf coast and Florida, resulting
in an estimated revenue loss of approximately $4.5 million.  The Company's
U.S.-based revenue increased 6% to $975,605,000 during the first nine months
of fiscal 2006, while foreign sales increased 11% (13% currency adjusted) to
$510,242,000.  The Company's worldwide sales of reconstructive products during
the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $1,006,764,000, representing an 11%
increase compared to the first nine months of last year.  Sales of fixation
products were $187,192,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2006,
representing a 1% increase as compared to the same period in 2005.  Sales of
spinal products were $164,267,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2006,
representing a 3% increase as compared to the same period in 2005.  Fixation
and spinal product sales have been negatively impacted by the combination of
the Interpore and EBI sales forces, and at the same time the integration of
Biomet's internal fixation sales force into EBI's fixation sales force.
During the fourth quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year,
EBI has introduced several new products in both the internal fixation and
spinal implant markets that we believe will have a positive impact on sales
in the future.  In addition, during the first quarter, the Company announced
the appointment of Bart Doedens, M.D., as the new president of EBI's
operations following the resignation of James R. Pastena.  EBI's fixation,
spinal stimulation and softgoods and bracing products have continued to
underperform management's expectations and it is hoped that Dr. Doedens will
provide the leadership necessary to improve EBI's performance in these
markets.  The Company's sales of other products totaled $127,624,000,
representing a 4% increase over the first nine months of fiscal year 2005.

Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net sales to 28.0% for the first
nine months of fiscal 2006 from 28.7% for the same period last year.  The
components of this change are a decrease of 1.6% relating to the impact of
inventory step-up from acquisitions on last year's cost of goods sold,
offset by an increase of 0.3% due to an unanticipated, retroactive price
increase from the supplier of Biomet's antibiotic delivery system in Europe
and 0.6% from higher growth rates in foreign sales, where gross margins are
lower, versus domestic sales.  Selling, general and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of net sales, were flat at 36.7%.  Research and development
expenditures increased 7.9% during the first nine months to $63,182,000
reflecting the Company's continued emphasis on new product introductions.
In-process research and development expense relates to the acquired in-process
research and development related to the Interpore acquisition completed last
year, which was written off at the acquisition date.  Operating income
increased 18% from $391,150,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2005, to
$460,726,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2006.  After adjusting
operating income for acquisition related expenses in fiscal 2005, operating
income increased 5%.  Other income increased from $2,157,000 last year to
$2,575,000 this year.  Other income has been positively impacted by higher
daily balances of investments during the first quarter and an increase in
interest rates.  The effective income tax rate decreased to 33.6% for the
first nine months of fiscal year 2006 from 36.8% last year primarily as a
result of the write-off of in-process research and development last year
not being tax affected.

These factors resulted in a 24% increase in net income from $248,416,000 to
$307,642,000, a 27% increase in basic earnings per share from $0.98 to $1.24
and a 27% increase in diluted earnings per share from  $0.97 to $1.23 for the
periods presented.  Before acquisition related expenses last year, net income
increased by 7%, basic and diluted earning per share increased 9% for the
periods presented.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2006
AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2005

Net sales increased 5% to $506,254,000 for the third quarter ended February 28,
2006, from $482,023,000 for the same period last year.  Excluding the impact
from foreign currency, net sales grew 8%.  The Company's U.S.-based revenue
increased 6% to $332,678,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, while
foreign sales increased 3% to $173,576,000.  Excluding the foreign currency
adjustment, foreign revenue increased 11%.  The Company's worldwide sales of
reconstructive products during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were
$346,610,000, representing a 6% increase (10% excluding foreign currency)
compared to the third quarter of last year.  Sales of fixation products were
$62,338,000 for the third quarter fiscal 2006, representing a slight increase
(2% excluding foreign currency) as compared to the same period in 2005.  Sales
of spinal products were $53,914,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2006,
representing a 2% increase (3% excluding foreign currency) as compared to the
same period in 2005.  Fixation and spinal product sales have been negatively
impacted by the combination of the Interpore and EBI sales forces, and at the
same time the integration of Biomet's internal fixation sales force into EBI's
fixation sales force.  The Company expects this negative impact to continue
during the next quarter.  The Company's sales of other products totaled
$43,392,000, representing a 6% increase (8% excluding foreign currency) over
the third quarter of fiscal year 2005.

Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net sales to 28.3% for the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 from 28.6% for the same period last year.  The
components of this change are a decrease of 1.5% relating to the impact of
inventory step-up from acquisitions on last year's cost of goods sold, offset
by an increase of 0.2% due to an unanticipated price increase from the supplier
of Biomet's antibiotic delivery system in Europe and 1% from lower gross
margins, mainly from international sales.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 36.6% compared to 37.2%
for the third quarter last year.  This decrease is mainly attributable to lower
selling expenses in the bone healing product line offset by the national
branding campaign commenced during the first quarter.  Research and development
expenditures increased 3% during the third quarter to $21,063,000 reflecting
the Company's continued emphasis on new product introductions.  Operating
income increased 9% from $144,270,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2005,
to $156,993,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.  After adjusting
operating income for acquisition related expenses in fiscal 2005, operating
income increased 4%.  Other income decreased from $2,641,000 last year to
$2,262,000 this year.  Other income has been negatively impacted by a reduction
in cash available for investments due to the large amount of shares repurchased
during the third quarter.  The effective income tax rate decreased to 33.4% for
the quarter from 34.1% last year.

These factors resulted in a 10% increase in net income to $106,065,000 for the
third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to $96,784,000 for the same period in
fiscal 2005, while basic and diluted earnings per share increased 13%, from
$0.38 to $0.43 for the periods presented.  Before acquisition related expenses
last year, net income increased by 4%, while basic and diluted earnings per
share increased 8% for the periods presented.
