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.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

On April 25, 2000 the Company entered into a loan agreement, permitting the
Company to borrow up to $8 million under a line of credit during the expansion
of the Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities. 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):

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.

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.

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.
