NOTES TO SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited summary 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 and nine months ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1996. Notes 2,3 and 4 below cover certain events
occurring after the latest fiscal year end. 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, 1995.

Note 2 - Shareholders' equity

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.

Note 3 - Revolver/Term Loan Agreement

On August 30, 1996 the Company executed a revolving term loan agreement with a
bank which permits the Company to borrow up to $10,000,000 at either the bank's
prime rate of interest or adjusted Libor, as defined, plus an applicable Libor
margin. This credit agreement contains certain restrictive convenants including,
but not limited to, maintenance of certain financial ratios and a minimum
tangible net worth requirement. The credit agreement is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets, excluding intellectual property.

Note 4 - Acquisition

On September 12, 1996 the Company acquired the assets of United Cryopreservation
Foundation, Inc. ("UCFI"), a processor and distributor of cryopreserved human
heart valves and saphenous vein for transplant. Under the terms of the
acquisition, the Company will pay $2,000,000 over a five year period and assumed
certain obligations of UCFI. The impact of the acquisition on operations for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 was not significant.
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 and $28.5 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $8.3 million and $22.2
million for the corresponding periods in 1995. Revenues increased 25% and 29%
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared
to the corresponding periods in 1995. These revenue increases were primarily due
to greater allograft shipments resulting from increased demand.

Revenues from human heart valve preservation increased 25% to $7.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $5.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, representing 68% and 69% of total revenues,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, revenues from human heart
valve preservation increased 26% to $19.2 million for 1996 from $15.2 million
for 1995, representing 67% and 68% of total revenues, respectively. Third
quarter revenues increased due to a 31% increase in tissue shipments resulting
from an increase in demand in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third
quarter of 1995. Nine month revenues increased due to a 31% increase in tissue
shipments resulting from an increase in demand in the first nine months of 1996
compared to 1995.

Revenues from the sale of porcine valves increased 109% to $71,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $34,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, representing 1% and less than 1% of total revenues,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, revenues from the sale of
porcine valves increased 77% to $302,000 for 1996 from $171,000 for 1995,
representing 1% of total revenues for both periods. Three month revenues
increased due to a 6% increase in shipments resulting from an increase in demand
in the first three months of 1996 compared to 1995. Nine month revenues
increased due to a 50% increase in shipments resulting from an increase in
demand in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995.

Revenues from vein preservation increased 22% to $2.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $1.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, representing 21% and 22% of total revenues, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, revenues from vein preservation
increased 20% to $6.1 million for 1996 from $5.1 million for 1995, representing
21% and 23% of total revenues, respectively. Third quarter revenues increased
due to a 27% increase in tissue shipments resulting from an increase in demand
in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995. Nine month
revenues increased due to a 20% increase in tissue shipments resulting from an
increase in demand in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995.

Revenues from orthopaedic tissue preservation increased 133% to $775,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 from $332,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, representing 7% and 4% of total revenues, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, revenues from orthopaedic tissue
preservation increased 147% to $2.4 million for 1996 from $970,000 for 1995,
representing 8% and 4% of total revenues, respectively. Third quarter revenues
increased due to a 218% increase in tissue shipments resulting from an increase
in demand in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995.
Nine month revenues increased due to a 233% increase in tissue shipments
resulting from an increase in demand in the first nine months of 1996 compared
to 1995.

Other revenues were $273,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
compared to $469,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, representing
3% and 6% of total revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, other revenues were $526,000 for 1996 compared to $735,000 for 1995,
representing 2% and 3% of total revenue, respectively. Other revenues consist
primarily of research grant award revenues and interest income. Research grant
award revenues in 1996 are primarily related to the bioadhesive and synergraft
projects. Interest income decreased for the third quarter of 1996 compared to
third quarter of 1995 due to a decrease in investments. Income from the
termination of the option agreement with Bayer Corporation totaled $88,000, net
of related expenses.

Preservation costs aggregated $3.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively, for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing 35% of total
revenues for both periods, compared to $3.2 million and $8.3 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
representing 38% and 37% of total revenues, respectively. Preservation costs
increased 13% for third quarter 1996 compared to third quarter 1995 and
increased 18% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine
months of 1995 due to increased shipments of human allografts.
General,  administrative,  and marketing  expenses  aggregated  $4.2 million and
$12.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996, representing 40% and 42% of total revenues respectively, compared to $3.5
million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, representing 42% and 43% of total revenues, respectively.
This increase reflects the general overhead growth trends, including increased
marketing expenses associated with the increase in revenues and the switch from
a predominantly independent sales force to a predominantly direct sales force.

Research and development expenses aggregated $615,000 and $2.0 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
representing 6% and 7% of total revenues, respectively, compared to $651,000 and
$2.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995, representing 8% and 9% of total revenues, respectively. R & D spending
relates principally to the Company's focus on bioadhesives and the synergraft
technology.

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 September 30, 1996 net working capital was $12.9 million, compared to $15.1
million at December 31, 1995, with a current ratio of 3.8 to 1 at September 30,
1996. Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1996 was $24.0 million. The
Company's primary capital requirements arise out of working capital needs,
including receivables and deferred preservation costs, and capital expenditures
for facilities and equipment, primarily the new corporate headquarters. The
increase in receivables relates to the increase in revenue and to receivables
acquired from UCFI. The increase in prepaid expenses relates primarily to
prepaid lab supplies for the bioadhesives facility. The increase in other assets
relates primarily to the purchase of the Bioglue technology and intangibles
assets recorded in connection with the purchase of the assets of UCFI The
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is due to increased
procurement fees pursuant to an increase in tissue procured, and the increase in
overhead to support the increased revenues. Other long term liabilities relate
to the acquisition of the Bioglue technology, the acquisition of the assets of
UCFI, and draws on the Company's line of credit. Fixed asset additions of $7.1
million during the first nine months of 1996 related principally to the
construction of the new corporate headquarters. The Company does not expect to
incur significant additional costs relating to the completion of the
construction of the new corporate headquarters.

The Company believes that available cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities, along with cash generated from operations and the Company's $10
million credit facility, will be sufficient to meet its operating and
development needs for the foreseeable future.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 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
