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 fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF IDEAS FOR MEDICINE

On March 5, 1997, the Company acquired the stock of Ideas for Medicine, Inc.
(IFM) of Clearwater, Florida, a medical device company specializing in the
manufacture and distribution of single use cardiovascular products, for
consideration of approximately $4.5 million in cash and approximately $5 million
in convertible debentures plus related expenses. The cash portion of the
purchase price was financed by borrowings under the Company's Revolving Term
Loan Agreement. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. Based on
the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the Company's unaudited pro
forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and March
31, 1996, assuming the consummation of the purchase and issuance of the
convertible debentures as of January 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are as
follows:

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

On May 16, 1996 the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split,
effected in the form of a stock dividend, payable on June 28, 1996 to
shareholders of record on June 7, 1996. All share and per share information in
the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect such split.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation
of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 is not material.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Results of Operations

Revenues were $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a 24%
increase compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 1996. Revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 included $554,000 attributable to the
acquisiton of IFM. The remaining revenue increases are primarily attributable to
a 15% increase in the number of allograft shipments resulting from an increase
in demand, and a general cryopreservation fee increase in January 1997.

Revenues from human heart valve preservation increased 18% to $6.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $5.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, representing 62% and 66%, respectively, of total revenues
during such periods. Shipments rose 17% for the first three months of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996.

Revenues from vein preservation increased 44% to $2.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996, representing 25% and 21%, respectively, of total revenues for those
periods. Vein shipments increased 43% for the first three months of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996.

Revenues from orthopaedic preservation decreased 8% to $693,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $755,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996, representing 7% and 9%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods.
Orthopaedic shipments decreased 13% for the first three months of 1997 compared
to the same period in 1996 due to limited availibility of tissue in 1997 as
compared to 1996.

Other revenues decreased 83% to $30,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 from $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Other revenues in
1996 included research grant awards totalling $113,000, compared to $28,000 for
the corresponding period in 1997. Interest income totaled $61,000 in 1996.

Cost of preservation and products aggregated $3.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, representing 33% of total revenues, compared to $2.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, representing 34% of total
revenues. Cost of preservation and products as a percentage of revenues
decreased 1% for first quarter 1997 compared to first quarter 1996. The decrease
relates to the general cryopreservation fee increase and efficiencies resulting
from an increase in units processed, partially offset by an increase in costs
associated with the revenues generated by IFM.
General,  administrative,  and marketing  expenses increased 25% to $4.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $3.6 million for the
corresponding period in 1996, representing 43% of total revenues in each period.
This increase reflects the general overhead growth trends, including personnel
related expenses, and increased marketing expenses resulting from higher
revenues.

Research and development expenses were $849,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997, compared to $690,000 for the corresponding period in 1996,
representing 8% of total revenues for each period. Research and development
spending relates principally to the Company's focus on its bioadhesives and
synergraft technologies.

Seasonality

The demand for the Company's human heart valve tissue preservation services is
seasonal, with peak demand generally occurring in the second and third quarters.
Management believes this demand trend for human heart valves is primarily due to
the high number of pediatric surgeries scheduled during the summer months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997 net working capital was $14.3 million, compared to $10.9
million at December 31, 1996, with a current ratio of 3.2 to 1 at March 31,
1997. Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1997 was $26.0 million. The Company's
primary capital requirements arise out of working capital needs, including
receivables and deferred preservation costs, capital expenditures for facilities
and equipment, and funding of research and development projects. The increase in
receivables results from the increase in revenue and from receivables acquired
as a result of the acquisition of IFM. The increase in deferred preservation
costs results from an increase in the amount of tissue procured. The increase in
inventory results primarily from the acquisition of IFM. The increase in prepaid
expenses relates primarily to prepaid insurance premiums. The increase in other
assets results primarily from intangible assets associated with the acquisition
of IFM. The decrease in accounts payable results from payment of amounts
associated with the constuction of and equipping of the Company's new corporate
headquarters. The increase in debt results from borrowing on the Company's
revolving term loan facility and from the issuance of convertible debentures,
both of which are associated with the acquisition of IFM.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations along with the
approximate $1.8 million of remaining borrowing capacity at March 31, 1997 under
the Company's $10 million credit facility will be sufficient to meet its
operating and development needs for the foreseeable future, including the $1
million committed for the construction of a new manufacturing/office facility
for IFM, the interest resulting from the convertible debentures issued in
connection with the IFM acquisition and any stock repurchases made under the
Company's potential repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock,
authorized on April 2, 1997.
Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 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 this 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, (6) the reimbursement of health care
costs by third-party payors and (7) the Company's ability to successfully
integrate the operations of IFM. See the "Business--Risk Factors" section of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for a
more detailed discussion of these and other factors which might affect the
Company's future performance.
