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 statements. 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 months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The accompanying unaudited proforma summary consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 reflects the receipt of the proceeds of the Company's following-on equity offering (the "Offering") of 2,588,000 shares of its common stock which became effective March 30, 1998 and closed on April 3, 1998 as well as the underwriters' exercise of an overallotment option with respect to 387,500 additional shares which closed on April 16, 1998, and the application of those proceeds to the repayment of certain debt and interest aggregating $13,296,000 and the payment of certain offering costs aggregating $534,000. NOTE 2 - FOLLOW-ON EQUITY OFFERING On April 3, 1998 the Company completed the Offering of 2,588,000 new shares of its common stock resulting in net proceeds of $39.4 million. On April 16, 1998 the Company issued an additional 387,500 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters' overallotment option resulting in $6.0 million of additional net proceeds to the Company. The net proceeds will be used to repay outstanding amounts under the Company's bank loans, for expansion of manufacturing facilities and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and potential acquisitions. The accompanying proforma balance sheet at March 31, 1998 gives effect to the receipt of the proceeds from the underwriters, the repayment of the Company's bank loans and the payment of certain offering costs. In conjunction with the Offering, $607,000 of the convertible debentures were converted into 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Revenues increased 40% to $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $10.4 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the growing acceptance in the medical community of cryopreserved tissues, the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue, price increases for certain cryopreservation services and revenues attributable to the Company's line of single-use devices following the Ideas for Medicine, Inc. ("IFM") acquisition in March 1997. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 included $1,585,000 and $554,000 respectively, attributable to the acquisition of IFM. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services increased 15% to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing 51% and 62%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of heart allograft shipments. Revenues from human vascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 37% to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing 24% and 25%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 34% increase in the number of vascular allograft shipments resulting from the introduction of cryopreserved tissues for new procedures and increased demand for the Company's existing cryopreservation services. Revenues from human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services increased 158% to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing 12% and 7%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 127% increase in the number of allograft shipments and a greater proportion of the 1998 shipments consisting of cryopreserved menisci, which have a significantly higher per unit revenue than the Company's cryopreserved tendons. Revenues from the sale of bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices increased 92% to $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing 1% of total revenues during each period. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 169% increase in the number of bioprosthetic cardiovascular device shipments. Other revenues increased to $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Other revenues in 1998 relate primarily to research grant awards for the Company's synergraft technology. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, representing 37% of total revenues, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing 33% of total revenues. Cost of cryopreservation services and products increased 60% for the first quarter 1998 compared to the first quarter 1997. The increase in 1998 of the cost of cryopreservation services and products as a percentage of revenues results from increased manufacturing overhead costs associated with the Company's new corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility and the inclusion of three months of IFM's sales in 1998, which generate lower gross margins than cryopreservation services, compared with one month of IFM sales in the first quarter 1997. 546079.1 General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 30% to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $4.5 million for the corresponding period in 1997, representing 40% and 43%, respectively, of total revenues in each period. The increase in expenditures in 1998 results from expenses incurred to support the increase in revenues and costs associated with the introduction of BioGlue into the European community. Research and development expenses were $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $849,000 for the corresponding period in 1997, representing 7% and 8%, respectively, of total revenues for each period. Research and development spending relates principally to the Company's focus on its bioadhesives and synergraft technologies. Interest expense increased to $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase in interest expense is due to a full quarter of interest expense in 1998 relating to the convertible debenture entered into for the acquisition of IFM in March 1997 as well as an increase in the bank loans used to finance the building of the IFM manufacturing facility. 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 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 single-use medical devices does not appear to experience this seasonal trend. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1998, net working capital was $59.5 million, compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 1997, with a current ratio of 9-to-1 at March 31, 1998. 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 $698,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase primarily resulted from a decrease in the amount of accounts payable liquidated in the first quarter in 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997 due to the construction of the Company's new corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to the absence a business acquisition during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997, during which the Company acquired IFM. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in borrowings on the Company's bank loans. On April 3, 1998, the Company completed a follow-on equity offering (the "Offering") of 2,588,000 shares which became effective March 30, 1998, and on April 16, 1998, an overallotment option was exercised for an additional 387,500 shares. A portion of the net proceeds of $45,450,000 were used to repay the bank loans and accrued interest totaling $13,296,000. 546079.1 The Company anticipates that the net proceeds from the Offering and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating and development needs for 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 computer systems will face as the millennium (year 2000) approaches. The Company, however, believes that its own internal software and hardware is year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that any year 2000 problems encountered by procurement agencies, hospitals and other customers and vendors are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company anticipates no other year 2000 problems which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. There can be no assurance, however, that such problems will not arise. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). The Company adopted Statement 130 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Due to the immateriality of the Company's elements of comprehensive income, such adoption had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Forward-Looking Statements Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 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, changes in (1) government regulation of the Company's business, (2) the Company's competitive position, (3) the availability of tissue for implant, (4) the status of the Company's products under development, (5) the protection of the Company's proprietary technology and (6) the reimbursement of health care costs by third-party payors. See the "Business-Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 for a more detailed discussion of these and other factors which might affect the Company's future performance.
