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) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the CryoLife, Inc. ("CryoLife" or the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. 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 June 30, 2001 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 zero for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. As of June 30, 2001 differences between cost and market of a $1.1 million loss (less deferred taxes of $366,000) were included in accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, approximately $9.3 million and $4.9 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 June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, approximately $11.7 million and $8.3 million of investments, respectively, matured within 90 days, $3.0 million and zero investments, respectively, had a maturity date between 90 days and 1 year and approximately $16.0 million and $21.2 million of investments, respectively, matured in more than one year. 5

A commitment fee of $20,000 was paid when the Company entered into the loan agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit accrued interest equal to Adjusted LIBOR plus 2% adjusted monthly. On June 1, 2001, the line of credit was converted to a term loan (the "Term Loan") to be paid in 60 equal monthly installments of principal plus interest computed at Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Term Loan contains certain restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, maintenance of certain financial ratios and a minimum tangible net worth requirement, and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. 6

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES On January 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") as amended. SFAS 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, and changes in the derivative's fair value must be recognized currently in earnings or other comprehensive income, as applicable. The adoption of SFAS 133 impacts the accounting for the Company's forward-starting interest rate swap agreement. Upon adoption of SFAS 133 in 2001, the Company recorded a pre-tax unrealized loss of approximately $175,000 related to an interest rate swap, which was recorded as part of long-term liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income. The interest rate swap is described below. The reclassification of any gains or losses associated with the interest rate swap into the consolidated income statement is anticipated to occur upon the various maturity dates of the interest rate swap agreement, which expires in 2006. The Company's Term Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based on Adjusted LIBOR. This exposes the Company to ongoing interest rate fluctuations. On March 16, 2000, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $4 million. This swap agreement took effect on June 1, 2001. The agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge to effectively convert a portion of the $8 million Term Loan principle balance to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. This agreement involves the receipt of floating rate interest amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential is paid or received monthly, and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. NOTE 7 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of certain derivative instruments, which qualify for hedge accounting. The following is a reconciliation of net income to comprehensive income (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------- -------------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----------------------------- -------------------------------- (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net income $ 2,540 $ 1,979 $ 5,018 $ 3,583 Cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS 133, net of income taxes --- --- (116) --- Change in fair value of interest rate swaps, net of income taxes 5 --- (42) --- Translation adjustment (121) (14) (124) (14) Unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity securities, net of income taxes 115 24 309 (64) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Comprehensive income $ 2,539 $ 1,989 $ 5,045 $ 3,505 ======================================================================= NOTE 8 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), which is effective July 1, 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. SFAS 141 prohibits pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. SFAS 142 specifies that goodwill and certain other intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to periodic impairment testing. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of adoption of SFAS- 142. 7

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Revenues increased 12% to $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $19.5 million for the same period in 2000. Revenues increased 10% to $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to growth in the Company's human vascular and connective tissue cryopreservation businesses and increased sales of BioGlue surgical adhesive, partially offset by the elimination of IFM sales due to the sale of the remaining assets of IFM and a decrease in heart valve revenues. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased 5% to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 33% and 39%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased 7% to $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 33% and 39%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. The decrease in revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was due to a decrease in the number of allograft heart valve shipments of 5% and 9%, respectively, due to a decrease in procurement of hearts year to year, partially offset by higher fees received for SynerGraft treated human heart valves. Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 10% to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 28% of total revenues during each such period. Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 12% to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 29% and 28%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. The increase in revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was due to an increase in the number of vascular allograft shipments of 9% and 12%, respectively. The increase in shipments during these periods was primarily due to the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue, and due to an increase in demand for saphenous vein composite grafts and femoral artery grafts. Revenues from human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services increased 42% to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 26% and 20%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. Revenues from human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services increased 38% to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 25% and 20%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. This increase in revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to an increase in the number of allograft shipments of 32% and 29%, respectively, price increases for cryopreservation services in domestic and Canadian markets, and a more favorable product mix. The increase in shipments of osteoarticular grafts and non-bone tendons during these periods was primarily due to the Company's continuing strong orthopaedic allograft tissue procurement, and due to increasing acceptance of these tissues in the orthopaedic surgeon community. Revenues from the sale of BioGlue surgical adhesive increased 76% to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 12% and 8%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. Revenues from the sale of BioGlue surgical adhesive increased 94% to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 12% and 7%, respectively, of total revenues during each such period. The increase in revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 is due to an increase in the milliliters of BioGlue shipped of 70% and 79%, respectively. The increase in shipments was primarily due to increasing acceptance of BioGlue in international markets for use in vascular and pulmonary repairs, and 8

increased acceptance domestically following the January 2000 introduction of BioGlue pursuant to a Humanitarian Use Device Exemption ("HDE") for use as an adjunct in the repair of acute thoracic aortic dissections. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices decreased 19% to $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 1% of total revenues during each such period. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices decreased 16% to $356,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 1% of total revenues during each such period. This decrease in revenues is primarily due to the Company's focus on the start-up of the SynerGraft bioprosthetic heart valve manufacturing process, which adversely impacted its ability to manufacture other bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices. Revenues from IFM decreased to zero in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 from $608,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000. The decrease is due to the October 9, 2000 sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of IFM to HMP. Grant revenues decreased to $143,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $149,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Grant revenues increased to $368,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Grant revenues are primarily attributable to the SynerGraft research and development programs. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated increased 10% to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 42% and 43%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated increased 4% to $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 43% and 45%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. The decrease in the 2001 cost of cryopreservation services and products as a percentage of revenues is due to an increase in revenues from BioGlue surgical adhesive, which carries higher gross margins than cryopreservation services, as well as the termination of the IFM OEM contract with HMP, which had significantly lower margins than the Company's core businesses. General, administrative, and marketing expenses increased 9% to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 38% of total cryopreservation and product revenues during each such period. General, administrative, and marketing expenses increased 12% to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 38% and 37%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues during each such period. The increase in expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to an increase in marketing and general expenses to support revenue growth. The increase in expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to the inclusion of six full months of operations of CryoLife Europa, Ltd., the Company's European headquarters established in early 2000, and due to an increase in marketing and general expenses to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses increased 10% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 6% of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each such period. Research and development expenses decreased 5% to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 6% of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each such period. Research and development spending relates principally to the Company's ongoing human clinical trials for its BioGlue surgical adhesive, and to its focus on its SynerGraft and BioGlue technologies. Interest income, net of interest expense, was $560,000 and $314,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income, net of interest expense, was $1.1 million and $626,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This increase in interest income was due primarily to the increase in cash generated from operations during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000. 9

The effective income tax rate was 32% and 33% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 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 this trend for human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services is primarily due to the high number of surgeries scheduled during the summer months. However, the demand for the Company's human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services, human vascular tissue cryopreservation services, bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices, and BioGlue surgical adhesive does not appear to experience seasonal trends. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2001, net working capital was $67.4 million, with a current ratio of 6 to 1, compared to $68.4 million at December 31, 2000. The Company's primary capital requirements arise out of general working capital needs, capital expenditures for facilities and equipment and funding of research and development projects. The Company historically has funded these requirements through bank credit facilities, cash generated by operations and equity offerings. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease in cash provided was primarily due to an increase in working capital requirements due to sales growth, expansion of product lines, and construction on the Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities, largely offset by an increase in net income before depreciation and taxes. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures related to the expansion and renovation of the Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, and by the proceeds from the Company's note receivable. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to proceeds from issuance of debt under the Term Loan of $1.2 million in the current year and the lack of treasury stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the prior year period, partially offset by principle payments on the Term Loan and a decrease in proceeds from stock option exercises. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), which is effective July 1, 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. SFAS 141 prohibits pooling-of-interests accounting for acquisitions. SFAS 142 specifies that goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to periodic impairment testing. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of adoption of SFAS- 142. Since October 1998, management has been seeking to enter into a corporate collaboration or to complete a potential private placement of equity or equity-oriented securities to fund the commercial development of its Activation Control Technology ("ACT") technology. This technology is now held by CryoLife's wholly owned subsidiary AuraZyme Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was formed on March 13, 2001. This strategy, if successful, will allow an affiliated entity to 10

fund the ACT technology and should expedite the commercial development of its oncology, blood clot dissolving and surgical sealant product applications without additional research and development 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, cash generated from operations and its $10 million of bank facilities (of which approximately $8 million was drawn as of August 9, 2001) will be sufficient to meet its operating and development needs for at least the next 12 months, including the expansion and renovation of the Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities. 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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("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 for any additional expansion of its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities, and the extent to which the Company's products generate market acceptance and demand. There can be no assurance 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. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 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 $10.2 million and short-term investments in municipal obligations of $12.7 million as of June 30, 2001 as well as interest paid on its debt. At August 9, 2001, approximately $4 million of the Company's debt charged interest at a variable rate. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company generally maintains a portion (approximately $8 million at August 9, 2001) of its debt as fixed rate in nature. As a result, the Company is also subject to a risk that interest rates will decrease and the Company may be unable to refinance its debt. 11
