CRYOLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial presentations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the CryoLife, Inc. (the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS The Company maintains cash equivalents and investments in several large well-capitalized financial institutions, and the Company's policy disallows investment in any securities rated less than "investment-grade" by national rating services. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading, and marketable equity securities not classified as trading, are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity. The amortized cost of debt securities classified as available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in investment income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income. At September 30, 1999 all marketable equity securities and debt securities held by the Company were designated as available-for-sale. Total gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities were $116,000 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of September 30, 1999 differences between cost and market of $601,000 (less deferred taxes of $204,000) are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, approximately $3.4 million and $25.7 million, respectively, of debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at their acquisition dates were included in cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 approximately $2 million and $0, respectively, of investments matured between 90 days and 1 year and approximately $15 million and $5.1 million of investments matured between one and five years, respectively. The market values of these securities approximate cost. 4

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Preservation and product revenues increased 3% to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $15.8 million for the same period in 1998. Preservation and product revenues increased 8% to $49.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $45.8 million for the same period in 1998. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the growing acceptance in the medical community of cryopreserved tissues which has resulted in increased demand for many of the Company's cryopreservation services, the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue, price increases for certain preservation services during third quarter of 1998, revenues attributable to the Company's introduction of BioGlue surgical adhesive in international markets in April of 1998 with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and an increase in the demand for BioGlue with respect to the three months ended September 30, 1999, and revenues attributable to the Company's introduction of osteoarticular grafts in January of 1999. These increases in revenues also have been offset by certain decreases as discussed below. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased 7% to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 47% and 53%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased 6% to $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 45% and 52%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This decrease in revenues resulted from an 11% and an 8% decrease in the number of heart allograft shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The decrease in the number of heart allograft shipments primarily resulted from fewer pulmonary heart valve allografts being shipped due to a decrease in the number of Ross procedures being performed. The Company has attempted to promote the positive clinical results of the Ross procedure by hosting science forums around the country with its cardiovascular surgeon customers. While the response from the surgeons has been positive we are currently unable to predict the trend in pulmonary heart valve shipments. Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 34% to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 28% and 21%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 33% to $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 28% and 23%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 32% and a 25% increase in the number of vascular allograft shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, due to an increased demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue. The increase in revenues was also due to the Company's focus on procuring and distributing long segment veins, which have a higher per unit revenue than the short segment veins. Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 61% to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 18% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 41% to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 16% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 43% and a 27% increase in the number of allograft shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, due to increased demand, the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue and the introduction of osteoarticular grafts in January of 1999. Additional revenue increases have resulted from a greater proportion of the 1999 shipments consisting of cryopreserved menisci, which have a significantly higher per unit revenue than the Company's cryopreserved tendons, and price increases for the cryopreservation of menisci and tendons during the third quarter of 1998. Revenues from Ideas for Medicine, Inc ("IFM") decreased 85% to $231,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 1% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from IFM decreased 27% to $3.4 million 6

for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 7% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. The decrease in the revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 is due to Horizon Medical Products, Inc.'s ("HMP") failure to meet the minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Manufacturing Agreement discussed below. The IFM product line was sold on September 30, 1998 to HMP. In October 1998 IFM began an OEM manufacturing agreement with HMP which provides for the manufacture by IFM of specified minimum dollar amounts of IFM products to be purchased exclusively by HMP over each of the four years following the sale. On June 22, 1999 IFM notified HMP that it was in default of certain provisions of the Manufacturing Agreement (the "Agreement"). Specifically, HMP is in violation of the payment provisions contained within the Agreement, which calls for inventory purchases to be paid for within 45 days of delivery. Additionally, HMP is in violation due to nonpayment of interest related to such past due accounts receivable. The total of accounts receivable due from HMP at September 30, 1999 was approximately $1.9 million. After notification of the default, HMP indicated to the Company that it would not be able to meet and has not met the minimum purchase requirements outlined in the Agreement. However, IFM has continued to manufacture product. Accordingly, finished goods inventory has increased by approximately $1.3 million since June 30, 1999 to $2.5 million. The Company expects to realize its investment in the inventory as a part of current negotiations between the Company and HMP to either revise the Agreement or reach some other mutually agreeable solution to the default; however, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case. Any potential resolution may adversely affect the Company's operating results. Such adverse effects could include lower revenues and the incurrence of related expenses. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices decreased 8% to $224,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $243,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing 1% and 2%, respectively, of total revenues during each such periods. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices increased 14% to $753,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $660,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 1% of total revenues during such periods. This decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily due to a 16% decrease in the number of bioprosthetic cardiovascular device shipments due to the timing of orders received by distributors offset by price increases in November 1998. The increase in the revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily due to price increases in November of 1998. Revenues from BioGlue(R) surgical adhesive increased 21% to $445,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $367,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, representing 3% and 2%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from BioGlue surgical adhesive increased 91% to $1.1million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $582,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing 2% and 1%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. The increase in revenues is due to increased product awareness since the introduction of BioGlue in April of 1998, increased surgeon training and the receipt of CE approval for pulmonary indications in Europe in March 1999. Grant revenues increased to $255,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $168,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Grant revenues increased to $648,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase in grant revenues is primarily attributable to the SynerGraft(R) research and development programs. Other income decreased to $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Other income decreased to $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Other income in 1998 related primarily to proceeds from the sale of the Company's port product line. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding period in 1998, representing 43% and 40%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $18.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing 45% and 39% of total cryopreservation and product revenues, respectively. Cost of cryopreservation services and products increased 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in 1999 of the cost of cryopreservation services and products as a percentage of revenues results from a lesser portion of 1999 revenues being derived from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services which carry a significantly higher gross 7

margins than other cryopreservation services, and from the switch in October of 1998 to OEM manufacturing of single-use medical devices, which generates lower gross margins than cryopreservation services and lower gross margins than the IFM products generated prior to the sale of the IFM product line. General, administrative and marketing expenses decreased 2% to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding period in 1998, representing 38% and 40%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 1% to $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $18.1 million for the corresponding period in 1998, representing 37% and 39%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. The increase in expenditures for the first nine months of 1999 resulted from expenses incurred to support the increase in revenues, partially offset by increased absorption of overhead expenses associated with increased production of new products. The decrease in expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 1999 resulted from increased absorption of overhead expenses associated with increased production of new products. Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, representing 7% of total cryopreservation and product revenues for such periods. Research and development expenses decreased 9% to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 1998, representing 6% and 7%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to the delayed start date of certain outside consulting projects until the third quarter of 1999. Research and development spending relates principally to the Company's focus on its bioadhesives and SynerGraft technologies. Net interest income was $269,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net interest income of $373,000 for the corresponding period in 1998. Net interest income was $853,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net interest income of $264,000 for the corresponding period in 1998. This increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was due to the receipt of interest income on the invested proceeds from the follow-on equity offering (the "Offering") completed in April 1998 and reduction of interest expense from the repayment of certain indebtedness with the proceeds from the Offering, as well as the conversion of a portion of a convertible debenture into common stock of the Company. The decline in the effective income tax rate to 33% from 34% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and to 33% from 35% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, is due to lower effective state tax rates. SEASONALITY The demand for the Company's human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services is seasonal, with peak demand generally occurring in the second and third quarters. Management believes that this demand trend for human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services is primarily due to the high number of pediatric surgeries scheduled during the summer months. Management believes that the trends experienced by the Company to date for its human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services indicate that this business may also be seasonal because it is an elective procedure that may be performed less frequently during the fourth quarter holiday months. However, the demand for the Company's human vascular tissue cryopreservation services, bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices and BioGlue surgical adhesive does not appear to experience this seasonal trend. As an OEM manufacturer of single-use medical devices, the sale of those products is currently dictated by a manufacturing agreement which is not affected by a seasonal trend. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1999, net working capital was $61.1 million, compared to $62.3 million at December 31, 1998, with a current ratio of 8 to 1. The Company's primary capital requirements arise out of general working capital needs, capital expenditures for facilities and equipment, funding of research and development projects and a common stock repurchase plan approved by the board of directors in October of 1998. The Company historically has funded these requirements through bank credit facilities, cash generated by operations and equity offerings. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $832,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in cash primarily resulted from: 1) an increase in the accounts receivables due to increased revenues, 2) an increase in the accounts receivable due from HMP, 3) an increase in deferred preservation costs due to an increase in revenues, 4) an 8

increase in inventories due to continued manufacturing of IFM products following HMP's default under its manufacturing agreement, and 5) an increase in the amount of accounts payable liquidated in the first quarter of 1999 due to the expansion of the BioGlue manufacturing laboratory at corporate headquarters, partially offset by a decrease in prepaids and other assets. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in cash was primarily attributable to the absence of proceeds from the sale of a product line during the third quarter of 1999 as compared to the third quarter of 1998, during which the IFM product line was sold, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures and net sales of marketable equity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in cash was primarily attributable to a follow-on equity offering in March of 1998 that generated proceeds of $45.4 million, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings on the Company's bank loans, and accrued interest thereon, totaling $13.3 million. Additional decreases resulted from the repurchase of treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Management is currently seeking to complete a potential private placement of equity or equity-oriented securities to form a subsidiary company for the commercial development of its serine proteinase light activation (FibRx(R)) technologies. This strategy, if successful, will allow an affiliated entity to fund the FibRx technology and should expedite the commercial development of its blood clot dissolving and surgical sealant product applications without additional R&D expenditures by the Company (other than through the affiliated company). This strategy, if successful, will favorably impact the Company's liquidity going forward. The Company anticipates that current cash and marketable securities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating and development needs for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company's future liquidity and capital requirements beyond that period will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing of the Company's receipt of FDA approvals to begin clinical trials for its products currently in development, the resources required to further develop its marketing and sales capabilities if, and when, those products gain approval, the resources required to expand manufacturing capacity and the extent to which the Company's products generate market acceptance and demand. There can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional financing or will not seek to raise additional funds through bank facilities, debt or equity offerings or other sources of capital to meet future requirements. These additional funds may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. YEAR 2000 The Company is aware of the issues that many companies will face as the year 2000 approaches. In order to become year 2000 compliant, the Company has set up a project team to address the issue and has taken the following steps: IMPACT ASSESSMENT: The Company has identified potential year 2000 issues and the associated potential risks. The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue and believes that its business products and services will not be significantly impacted. Additionally, the Company has determined that all of the Company's financial and operational applications have been upgraded to or replaced with year 2000 compliant software. THIRD PARTY IMPACT ASSESSMENTS: The Company has verified the readiness of its significant suppliers through the distribution of a questionnaire which was 90% returned by the suppliers by January 1, 1999 indicating compliance or that compliance would be achieved by June 30, 1999. The Company does not anticipate that a lack of compliance of the vendors will significantly affect the Company's daily operations. PROJECT PLAN: The Company began its compliance strategy in October 1998. All of the "off the shelf" software packages have been upgraded to compliant releases. Older internally developed software has been replaced with new systems that are year 2000 compliant. The Company estimates that all modifications and testing for year 2000 issues will be completed at a cost of less than $50,000 including expenditures to date. CONTINGENCY PLAN: The Company believes it is year 2000 compliant. However, as of June 30, 1999 the Company completed its contingency plan which provides for manual paper record keeping based on standard operating procedures currently documented. The Company anticipates its current personnel will be sufficient to 9

accomplish the task manually although additional time and effort will be required. As a part of other emergency procedures, the Company maintains limited power generation and other emergency backup facilities. Although the Company is uncertain what the costs associated with a disruption in its business activities would be or the related impact on operations, liquidity and financial condition, the Company does not expect the impact to be material. The Company believes that it is diligently addressing the year 2000 issue and expects that through its actions, year 2000 problems are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its operations. However, there can be no assurance that such problems will not arise. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 that state the Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements as a result of adverse changes in any of a number of factors that affect the Company's business, including without limitation (1) the effects on the Company of year 2000 issues including unanticipated expenses in connection therewith, (2) the Company's ability to find an equity investor in the FibRx technology and the impact of such an investment on the Company's liquidity, (3) the adequacy of the Company's financing arrangements over the next twelve months, (4) the outcome of the ongoing discussions with HMP and, (5) governmental or third-party reimbursement policies. See the "Business-Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 for a more detailed discussion of factors which might affect the Company's future performance. Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussion About Market Risk. The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company's cash equivalents of $3.7 million and short-term investments of $17.0 million in municipal obligations as of September 30, 1999 as well as interest paid on its debt. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company generally maintains 80% to 90% of its debt as fixed rate in nature. As a result, the Company is subject to a risk that interest rates will decrease and the Company may be unable to refinance its debt. 10
