INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
CryoLife, Inc.

We have audited, the accompanying  consolidated balance sheet of CRYOLIFE,  INC.
(a Florida corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES ("the Company") as of December 31, 2002
and the related consolidated statement of operations,  shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our  audit.  The  financial
statements  of the Company as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the two years
then ended were  audited by other  auditors  who have ceased  operations.  Those
auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their
report dated March 27, 2002.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management  as well as  evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company
changed its method of  accounting  for goodwill and other  intangible  assets to
conform to Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 142  "Goodwill and
Other  Intangible  Assets",  which was  adopted by the  Company as of January 1,
2002.

The following report of Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") is a copy of the report
previously  issued by  Andersen  on March 27,  2002.  The report of  Andersen is
included  in this  annual  report  on Form  10-K  pursuant  to rule  2-02(e)  of
regulation  S-X. The Company has not been able to obtain a reissued  report from
Andersen.  Andersen  has not  consented  to the  inclusion of its report in this
annual report on Form 10-K.  Because Andersen has not consented to the inclusion
of its  report in this  annual  report,  it may be  difficult  to seek  remedies
against  Andersen,  and the  ability  to seek  relief  against  Andersen  may be
impaired.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

                         CRYOLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS
Founded in 1984,  CryoLife,  Inc. (the "Company") is a leader in the development
and   commercialization   of  implantable   living  human  tissues  for  use  in
cardiovascular   and  vascular   surgeries   throughout  the  U.S.  and  Canada.
Historically,   the   Company  has  been  a  leader  in  the   development   and
commercialization  of  implantable  living human tissues for use in  orthopaedic
surgeries  throughout the U.S. and Canada.  The Company suspended  processing of
orthopaedic  tissue from August 2002 until late  February  2003 as a result of a
recall order from the FDA.  (See Note 2 for further  discussion).  The Company's
human tissue  cryopreservation  services are marketed in North America,  Europe,
South  America,  and Asia.  The Company's  BioGlue(R)  Surgical  Adhesive is FDA
approved  in the U.S.  as an  adjunct to sutures  and  staples  for use in adult
patients in open surgical repair of large vessels,  is CE marked in the European
Community and is approved in Canada,  Australia and certain countries within the
Middle East,  South America,  Asia, and South Africa for use in  cardiovascular,
vascular,  pulmonary,  and  soft  tissue  repair.  The  Company's  bioprosthetic
implantable  devices include  stentless porcine heart valves marketed in Europe,
South America,  the Middle East,  Canada,  and South Africa,  and  SynerGraft(R)
processed bovine vascular grafts, which are CE marked in the European Community.
Until October 9, 2000 the Company served as an original  equipment  manufacturer
for single-use medical devices for use in vascular surgical procedures.

In  February  2001  the  Company  formed  a wholly  owned  subsidiary,  AuraZyme
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc., to foster the  commercial  development  of the Company's
light-activated drug delivery systems that have potential  application in cancer
treatment  and  fibrinolysis  (blood clot  dissolving)  and other drug  delivery
applications.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany  balances  are
eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The  preparation  of  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  in
conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the U.S. requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are used when accounting for  depreciation,  allowance
for doubtful accounts,  write-downs of deferred preservation costs, valuation of
long-lived  tangible  and  intangible  assets,  commitments  and  contingencies,
disclosure  of the fair  value  of stock  based  compensation,  and the  related
pro-forma expense and income taxes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting  Bulletin
No. 101,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial  Statements"  ("SAB  101"),  which
provides  guidance on  applying  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  to
revenue recognition issues.  Revenues for human tissue preservation services are
recognized  when services are completed and tissue is delivered to the customer.
The Company has recorded the estimated amount of credits issued and to be issued
for  tissues  recalled  pursuant to the FDA Order as a service  revenue  return.
Revenues  for  products are  recognized  at the time the product is shipped,  at
which  time  title  passes to the  customer.  There are no  further  performance
obligations and delivery occurs upon shipment. Revenues from research grants are
recognized in the period the associated costs are incurred. The Company assesses
the  likelihood  of  collection  based on a number of  factors,  including  past
transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES
Fees  charged to customers  for  shipping and handling of preserved  tissues and
products are included in human tissue preservation  service revenues and product


                                       F-8


revenues,  respectively.  The costs for shipping and handling of preserved human
tissues  and  products  are  included  as a  component  of cost of human  tissue
preservation services and cost of products, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash   equivalents   consist   primarily  of  highly  liquid   investments  with
insignificant  interest  rate risk and maturity  dates of 90 days or less at the
time of acquisition.  The carrying value of cash equivalents  approximates  fair
value.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES
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. At December 31, 2002
and 2001 all marketable equity securities and debt securities were designated 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. Interest income, dividends, realized gains and losses, and
declines in value judged to be other than  temporary  are included in investment
income.  The cost of  securities  sold is based on the  specific  identification
method.

DEFERRED PRESERVATION COSTS
Tissue is procured  from deceased  human donors by organ and tissue  procurement
agencies,   which  consign  the  tissue  to  the  Company  for   processing  and
preservation.  Preservation  costs  related to tissue  held by the  Company  are
deferred  until  revenue  is  recognized  upon  shipment  of the  tissue  to the
implanting hospital. Deferred preservation costs consist primarily of laboratory
expenses,  tissue  procurement  fees,  fringe  and  facility  allocations,   and
freight-in  charges,  and are stated, net of reserve,  on a first-in,  first-out
basis.

As of December  31, 2002 the deferred  preservation  costs were $2.0 million for
allograft heart valve tissues,  $620,000 for non-valved  cardiac  tissues,  $1.7
million for vascular  tissues,  and zero for orthopaedic  tissues.  For the year
ended  December  31,  2002,  the  Company  recorded  a  write-down  of  deferred
preservation costs of $8.7 million for valved cardiac tissues,  $2.9 million for
non-valved cardiac tissues, $11.9 million for vascular tissues, and $9.2 million
for orthopaedic  tissue totaling $32.7 million.  These write-downs were recorded
as a  result  of the  matters  discussed  in Note 2, FDA  Order on Human  Tissue
Preservation.  The amount of these write-downs  reflects  management's  estimate
based on  information  currently  available  to it.  These  estimates  may prove
inaccurate, as the scope and impact of the FDA Order are determined.  Management
will  continue to evaluate the  recoverability  of these  deferred  preservation
costs based on the factors discussed in Note 2 and record additional write-downs
if it becomes clear that additional  impairments  have occurred.  The write-down
creates a new cost basis which cannot be written back up if these tissues become
saleable.  The cost of  human  tissue  preservation  services  may be  favorably
impacted depending on the future level of tissue shipments related to previously
written-down   deferred   preservation  costs.  The  shipment  levels  of  these
written-down tissues will be affected by the amount and timing of the release of
tissues processed after September 5, 2002, as a result of the Agreement with the
FDA, since  written-down  tissues may be shipped if tissues  processed after the
Agreement are not available for shipment.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are comprised of implantable  surgical  adhesives and  bioprosthetic
products and are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is provided over the
estimated  useful  lives  of the  assets,  generally  five  to ten  years,  on a
straight-line  basis.  Leasehold  improvements  are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever
is shorter.  Interest is  capitalized  in  connection  with the expansion of the
corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility.


                                       F-9



INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Beginning  with the  Company's  adoption of Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") No.  142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142")
on January 1, 2002 the goodwill  resulting  from  business  acquisitions  is not
amortized,  but is instead subject to periodic  impairment testing in accordance
with SFAS 142.  Patent costs are amortized over the expected useful lives of the
patents (primarily 17 years) using the straight-line  method. Other intangibles,
which consist  primarily of manufacturing  rights and agreements,  are amortized
over the expected useful lives of the related assets  (primarily five years). As
a result of the FDA Order,  the Company  determined  that an  evaluation  of the
possible  impairment  of  intangible  assets under SFAS 142 was  necessary.  The
Company engaged an independent valuation expert to perform the valuation using a
discounted cash flow methodology,  and as a result of this analysis, the Company
determined  that goodwill  related to its tissue  processing  reporting unit was
fully  impaired as of September  30,  2002.  Therefore,  the Company  recorded a
write-down of $1.4 million in goodwill  during the quarter  ended  September 30,
2002.  Management  does not believe an  impairment  exists  related to the other
intangible   assets  that  were  assessed  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").

Scheduled  amortization  of  intangible  assets  for the next  five  years is as
follows (in thousands):

2003                                    $         180
2004                                              150
2005                                              150
2006                                              136
2007                                              109
                                        -------------
                                        $         725
                                        =============

LONG-LIVED ASSETS
SFAS 144 requires the  write-down  of a long-lived  asset to be held and used if
the carrying value of the asset or the asset group to which the asset belongs is
not  recoverable.  The  carrying  value  of the  asset  or  asset  group  is not
recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected
to result from the use and eventual  disposition of the asset or asset group. As
of September  30, 2002, in applying  SFAS 144, the Company  determined  that the
asset groups  consisted of the  long-lived  assets  related to the Company's two
reporting  segments,  as these asset groups  represent the lowest level at which
identifiable  cash  flows are  largely  independent  of the cash  flows of other
assets  and  liabilities.  The  Company  used a  fourteen-year  period  for  the
undiscounted  future cash flows. This period of time was selected based upon the
remaining  life of the primary  assets of the asset groups,  which are leasehold
improvements.  The undiscounted  future cash flows related to these asset groups
exceeded  their  carrying  values as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002
and therefore  management  has concluded  that there is not an impairment of the
Company's  long-lived  intangible,  except for  goodwill  discussed  above,  and
tangible  assets related to the tissue  preservation  business or medical device
business.  However, depending on the Company's ability to rebuild demand for its
tissue preservation  services, the outcome of discussions with the FDA regarding
the shipping of orthopaedic tissues, and the future effects of adverse publicity
surrounding  the FDA Order and reported  infections  on  preservation  revenues,
these  assets may become  impaired.  Management  will  continue to evaluate  the
recoverability of these assets in accordance with SFAS 144.

ACCRUED PROCUREMENT FEES
Tissue is procured from deceased human donors by organ procurement  agencies and
tissue  banks  ("Agencies"),  which  consign  the  tissue  to  the  Company  for
processing and preservation. The Company reimburses the Agencies for their costs
to recover the tissue and passes on these costs to the customer  when the tissue
is shipped and the service is complete. The Company accrues the procurement fees
due to the  Agencies  at the time the tissue is  received  based on  contractual
agreements between the Company and the Agencies.

PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
In the normal  course of business as a medical  device and services  company the
Company has product liability complaints filed against it. The Company maintains
claims-made  insurance  policies to mitigate its  financial  exposure to product
liability  claims.  Claims-made  insurance  policies  cover only those  asserted
claims and incidents that are reported to the insurance carrier while the policy
is in effect.  Thus, a claims-made  policy does not represent a transfer of risk
for  claims  and  incidents  that have been  incurred  but not  reported  to the
insurance carrier. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to unreported
product  liability  claims,  and records accruals as necessary for the estimated


                                       F-10


cost of unreported claims related to services performed and products sold. As of
December  31, 2002 the  Company  accrued  $3.6  million in  estimated  costs for
unreported  product liability claims related to services  performed and products
sold prior to December 31, 2002. The Company  engaged an  independent  actuarial
firm to perform an analysis of the unreported  product claims as of December 31,
2002.   The   unreported   product  loss   liability  was   estimated   using  a
frequency-severity  approach;  whereas,  projected  losses  were  calculated  by
multiplying  the estimated  number of claims by the  estimated  average cost per
claim.  The  estimated  claims  were  calculated  based  on the  reported  claim
development  method  and the  Bornhuetter-Ferguson  method  using a blend of the
Company's  historical  claim emergence and industry data. The estimated cost per
claim was  calculated  using a lognormal  claims model  blending  the  Company's
historical  average cost per claim with  industry  claims data.  The expense was
recorded in general, administrative,  and marketing expenses and was included as
a  component  of  accrued   expenses  and  other  current   liabilities  on  the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

INCOME TAXES
Deferred  income tax assets and  liabilities  are  recognized for the future tax
consequences   attributable  to  temporary  differences  between  the  financial
statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their
respective  tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured using
enacted  income tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the years in
which those  temporary  differences  are expected to be recovered or settled.  A
valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the full
value of a deferred tax asset will not be recovered.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings  per share is computed on the basis of the weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options, computed
using the treasury stock method.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On December 31, 2002 the Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148
amends  SFAS No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation"  to provide
alternative  methods of transition for companies that voluntarily elect to adopt
the fair value recognition and measurement  methodology  prescribed by SFAS 123.
In  addition,  regardless  of  the  method  a  company  elects  to  account  for
stock-based compensation arrangements,  SFAS 148 requires additional disclosures
in the Summary of Significant  Accounting  Policies footnote of both interim and
annual financial statements regarding the method the company uses to account for
stock-based compensation and the effect of such method on the Company's reported
results.  The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 148 will not have
a material  effect on the financial  position,  results of operations,  and cash
flows of the Company.

The Company has elected to follow  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees"  and related  interpretations  ("APB
25") in accounting for its employee stock options  because,  as discussed below,
the alternative fair value  accounting  provided for under SFAS 123 requires use
of option  valuation  models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock  options.  Under  APB 25,  because  the  exercise  price of the  Company's
employee stock options  equals the market price of the  underlying  stock on the
date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS 123,  which  requires that the  information be determined as if the Company
has accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method
of that statement. The fair values for these options were estimated at the dates
of  grant  using  a  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  with  the  following
weighted-average assumptions:



                                                                           
                                                     2002              2001             2000
                                                 -------------    --------------    -------------
Expected dividend yield                                     0%                0%               0%
Expected stock price volatility                           .630              .600             .540
Risk-free interest rate                                  3.67%             4.73%            6.39%
Expected life of options                             5.3 Years         4.2 Years        4.3 Years


The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions,  including the expected stock price volatility.  Because


                                       F-11


the  Company's  employee  stock  options  have   characteristics   significantly
different  from those of traded  options and because  changes in the  subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single

STOCK SPLIT
On  November  27, 2000 the Board of  Directors  declared a  three-for-two  stock
split,  effected in the form of a stock dividend,  payable on December 27, 2000,
to  shareholders  of  record  on  December  8,  2000.  All  share  and per share
information  in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  has been
adjusted to reflect this split.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"  ("SFAS  130"),  established
standards  for  the  reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive  income  and its
components in a full set of comparative  general-purpose  financial  statements.
The statement became effective for the Company in 1998.  Comprehensive income is
defined in SFAS 130 as net income plus other comprehensive  income, which, under
existing accounting standards,  includes foreign currency items, minimum pension
liability  adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in
debt and equity securities.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Assets and  liabilities  are  translated  at the exchange rate as of the balance
sheet   date.   All  revenue  and  expense   accounts   are   translated   at  a
weighted-average  of  exchange  rates in effect  during  the  year.  Translation
adjustments are recorded as a separate component of other  comprehensive  income
in shareholders' equity.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The  Company  will be  required  to adopt SFAS No.  143,  "Accounting  for Asset
Retirement  Obligations"  ("SFAS  143") on January 1, 2003.  SFAS 143  addresses
accounting and reporting for  retirement  costs of long-lived  assets  resulting
from legal obligations associated with acquisition, construction, or development
transactions.  The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 143 will not
have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company, as the Company does not currently have any relevant transactions.

The  Company  will be  required  to adopt  SFAS  No.  145,  "Rescission  of FASB
Statements  4,  44 and  64,  Amendment  to  FASB  Statement  13,  and  Technical
Corrections"  ("SFAS 145"), on January 1, 2003. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, 44
and 64,  which  required  gains and losses  from  extinguishments  of debt to be
classified as extraordinary  items. SFAS 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 eliminating
inconsistencies in certain sale-leaseback  transactions.  The provisions of SFAS
145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has
determined  that the adoption of SFAS 145 will not have a material effect on the
results of operations or financial position of the Company,  as the Company does
not currently have any relevant transactions.


                                       F-12



The  Company  will be  required  to adopt SFAS No.  146,  "Accounting  for Costs
Associated  with Exit or Disposal  Activities"  ("SFAS 146") on January 1, 2003.
SFAS 146 requires  that costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities  be
recorded at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous
guidance,  certain exit costs were accrued upon  management's  commitment  to an
exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred.  The
Company will adopt SFAS 146 for restructuring  plans entered into after December
31, 2002.


2.  FDA ORDER ON HUMAN TISSUE PRESERVATION

On August 13,  2002 the  Company  received  an order from the  Atlanta  district
office of the FDA regarding the non-valved  cardiac,  vascular,  and orthopaedic
tissue processed by the Company since October 3, 2001 (the "FDA Order"). The FDA
Order followed an April 2002 FDA Form 483 Notice of Observations ("FDA 483") and
an FDA Warning Letter dated June 17, 2002 (the "Warning Letter").  Subsequently,
the  Company  responded  to  the  Warning  Letter.  Revenue  from  human  tissue
preservation  services  accounted for 78% of the Company's  revenues for the six
months  ended June 30,  2002,  and of those  revenues  67% or $26.9  million was
derived from  preservation  of tissues  subject to the FDA Order.  The FDA Order
contains the following principal provisions:

     o    The  FDA  alleges  that,  based  on its  inspection  of the  Company's
          facility on March 25 through  April 12,  2002,  certain  human  tissue
          processed  and  distributed  by the Company may be in  violation of 21
          Code of Federal  Regulations  ("CFR") Part 1270.  (Part 1270  requires
          persons or  entities  engaged  in the  recovery,  screening,  testing,
          processing,  storage,  or  distribution  of human  tissue  to  perform
          certain  medical  screening  and testing on human tissue  intended for
          transplantation.   The  rule  also  imposes   requirements   regarding
          procedures for the prevention of contamination or  cross-contamination
          of tissues during  processing and the  maintenance of certain  records
          related to these activities.)

     o    The FDA alleges that the Company has not validated  procedures for the
          prevention of infectious disease contamination or  cross-contamination
          of tissue during processing at least since October 3, 2001.

     o    Non-valved cardiac,  vascular, and orthopaedic tissue processed by the
          Company  from  October 3, 2001 to  September  5, 2002 must be retained
          until it is  recalled,  destroyed,  the  safety  is  confirmed,  or an
          agreement is reached with the FDA for its proper disposition under the
          supervision of an authorized official of the FDA.

     o    The FDA strongly  recommends  that the Company perform a retrospective
          review of all tissue in  inventory  (i.e.  currently in storage at the
          Company) that is not referenced in the FDA Order to assure that it was
          recovered,  processed,  stored, and distributed in conformance with 21
          CFR 1270.

     o    The Center for Devices and Radiological Health ("CDRH"), a division of
          the FDA, is  evaluating  whether  there are similar  risks that may be
          posed by the Company's  allograft heart valves,  and will take further
          regulatory action if appropriate.

Pursuant to the FDA Order, the Company placed non-valved cardiac,  vascular, and
orthopaedic tissue subject to the FDA Order on quality assurance  quarantine and
recalled the non-valved  cardiac,  vascular,  and orthopaedic tissues subject to
the FDA Order (i.e.  processed since October 3, 2001) that had been  distributed
but not  implanted.  In  addition,  the  Company  ceased  processing  non-valved
cardiac,  vascular,  and orthopaedic tissues. The Company appealed the FDA Order
on August 14, 2002 and  requested a hearing with the FDA,  which was  originally
set for December 12, 2002.  Due to the Agreement  discussed  below,  the Company
withdrew its request for a hearing with the FDA.  After the FDA issued its order
regarding  the recall,  Health  Canada also issued a recall on the same types of
tissue and other countries have inquired about the circumstances surrounding the
FDA Order.

After receiving the FDA Order, the Company met with representatives of the FDA's
CDRH division regarding CDRH's review of the Company's processed allograft heart
valves,  which are not  subject  to the FDA Order.  On August  21,  2002 the FDA
publicly  stated that  allograft  heart valves have not been included in the FDA
Order as these devices are essential  for the  correction of congenital  cardiac
lesions in neonate and pediatric patients and no satisfactory alternative device
exists.  However,  the FDA also  publicly  stated that it then still had serious
concerns  regarding the  Company's  processing  and handling of allograft  heart
valves.  The  FDA  also  recommended  that  surgeons  carefully  consider  using


                                       F-13


processed allografts from alternative sources,  that surgeons inform prospective
patients of the FDA's concerns  regarding the Company's  allograft heart valves,
and  that  patients  be  carefully  monitored  for  both  fungal  and  bacterial
infections.

On  September  5,  2002  the  Company  reached  an  agreement  with the FDA (the
"Agreement")  that  supplements  the FDA Order and allows the tissues subject to
recall (processed  between October 3, 2001 and September 5, 2002) to be released
for distribution  after the Company completes steps to assure that the tissue is
used for approved  purposes and that  patients are notified of risks  associated
with tissue use. Specifically,  the Company must obtain physician prescriptions,
and tissue packaging must contain specified warning labels.  The Agreement calls
for the Company to  undertake  to identify  third-party  records of donor tissue
testing,  and to destroy  tissue from donors in whom  microorganisms  associated
with an infection are found.  The  Agreement  allowing  distribution  of tissues
subject to the recall had a 45-business  day term and was renewed on November 8,
2002 and on January 8, 2003. This most recent renewal expires on March 20, 2003.
The  Company  is unable to predict  whether  or not the FDA will  grant  further
renewals of the Agreement. In addition,  pursuant to the Agreement,  the Company
agreed to perform additional  procedures in the processing of non-valved cardiac
and vascular tissues and  subsequently  resumed  processing  these tissues.  The
Agreement  contained the  requirement  that tissues  subject to the FDA Order be
replaced with tissues processed under validated methods. The Company also agreed
to establish a corrective action plan within 30 days from September 5, 2002 with
steps  to  validate  processing  procedures.  The  corrective  action  plan  was
submitted on October 5, 2002.

As a result of the adverse publicity  surrounding the FDA Warning Letter and FDA
Order and  related  tissue  infections,  the  Company's  procurement  of cardiac
tissues,  from which heart valves and non-valved  cardiac tissues are processed,
decreased 25% in the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared to the fourth quarter of
2001.  Although the Company  expects to be able to maintain the current level of
cardiac tissue procurement, there is no guarantee that sufficient tissue will be
available.  The Company has  continued  to process and  distribute  heart valves
since the receipt of the FDA Order,  as these tissues are not subject to the FDA
Order.

On September  17, 2002 the Company  resumed the  procurement  and  processing of
vascular  tissues.  The  Company  limited  its  vascular  procurement  until  it
addressed the  observations  detailed in the FDA 483 and had fully evaluated the
demand for the vascular  tissues.  The Company's  procurement of vascular tissue
decreased 65% in the fourth quarter of 2002 as compared to the fourth quarter of
2001. The Company expects that vascular procurement will increase  significantly
following the close out of the FDA 483.

On December 31, 2002 the FDA  clarified  the  Agreement  noting that  non-valved
cardiac and vascular  tissues  processed since September 5, 2002 are not subject
to the FDA Order.  Specifically,  for  non-valved  cardiac and  vascular  tissue
processed  since  September  5,  2002,  the  Company is not  required  to obtain
physician  prescriptions,  label the tissue as  subject to a recall,  or require
special  steps  regarding  procurement  agency  records of donor  screening  and
testing beyond those  required for all processors of human tissue.  A renewal of
the  Agreement  that expires on March 20, 2003 is therefore  not needed in order
for the Company to continue to distribute non-valved cardiovascular and vascular
tissues processed since September 5, 2002.

On February  14, 2003 the FDA  confirmed  that the  Company  has  completed  the
corrective  actions  necessary to close out the April 2002 FDA 483 that preceded
the Warning  Letter and FDA Order.  The close out of the 483 followed a two-week
inspection of the Company's processing operations.  As a result of the close out
of the 483,  the Company  believes  it can resume  processing  and  distributing
orthopaedic tissues but has not received  confirmation of this from the FDA. The
Company resumed processing  orthopaedic  tissues in late February 2003. Prior to
shipment of orthopaedic tissues, the Company will confirm with the FDA that they
do not disagree with the Company  regarding its  interpretation of the close out
of the FDA 483.  The  Company  will  continue to process  vascular  tissues on a
limited  basis until it can fully  evaluate  the demand  level for its  vascular
tissue preservation services.

A new FDA 483 was  issued in  connection  with the  inspection,  but  corrective
action was implemented on most of its  observations  during the inspection.  The
Company believes the observations,  most of which focus on the Company's systems
for handling complaints, will not materially affect the Company's operations.

As a result of the FDA Order,  the Company recorded a reduction to pretax income
of $12.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The reduction was comprised
of a net $8.9 million increase to cost of human tissue preservation  services, a
$2.4 million  reduction to revenues (and accounts  receivable) for the estimated
return of the  tissues  subject to recall by the FDA Order,  and a $1.3  million


                                       F-14


accrual  recorded  in  general,  administrative,   and  marketing  expenses  for
retention  levels under the  Company's  product  liability  and  directors'  and
officers'  insurance  policies of $1.2 million  (see Note 9), and for  estimated
expenses  of $75,000  for  packaging  and  handling  for the return of  affected
tissues  under  the FDA  Order.  The net  increase  of $8.9  million  to cost of
preservation  services was comprised of a $10.0  million  write-down of deferred
preservation  costs  for  tissues  subject  to the FDA  Order,  offset by a $1.1
million  decrease in cost of preservation  services due to the estimated  tissue
returns  resulting  from the FDA Order  (the costs of such  recalled  tissue are
included in the $10.0 million write-down). The Company evaluated many factors in
determining  the magnitude of impairment  to deferred  preservation  costs as of
June 30,  2002,  including  the  impact of the FDA  Order,  the  possibility  of
continuing action by the FDA or other U.S. and foreign government agencies,  and
the  possibility of unfavorable  actions by physicians,  customers,  procurement
organizations,  and others. As a result of this evaluation,  management believed
that since all non-valved cardiac,  vascular,  and orthopaedic allograft tissues
processed since October 3, 2001 were under recall pursuant to the FDA Order, and
since the Company did not know if it would obtain a favorable  resolution of its
appeal and request for modification of the FDA Order, the deferred  preservation
costs for tissues subject to the FDA Order had been significantly  impaired. The
Company  estimated  that this  impairment  approximated  the full balance of the
deferred  preservation  costs of the  tissues  subject to the FDA  Order,  which
included the tissues stored by the Company and the tissues to be returned to the
Company, and therefore recorded a write-down of $10.0 million for these assets.

In the quarter  ended  September  30, 2002 the Company  recorded a reduction  to
pretax income of $24.6  million as a result of the FDA Order.  The reduction was
comprised of a net $22.2 million  increase to cost of human tissue  preservation
services, a $1.4 million write-down of goodwill, and a $1.0 million reduction to
revenues  (and  accounts  receivable)  for the  estimated  return of the tissues
shipped  during the third  quarter  subject to recall by the FDA Order.  The net
$22.2 million increase to cost of preservation services was comprised of a $22.7
million  write-down  of deferred  preservation  costs,  offset by a $0.5 million
decrease in cost of preservation services due to the estimated and actual tissue
returns  resulting  from the FDA Order  (the costs of such  recalled  tissue are
included in the $22.7 million write-down).

The  Company  evaluated   multiple  factors  in  determining  the  magnitude  of
impairment to deferred  preservation costs at September 30, 2002,  including the
impact of the FDA Order,  the  possibility  of  continuing  action by the FDA or
other U.S. and foreign  government  agencies,  the  possibility  of  unfavorable
actions by physicians,  customers,  procurement  organizations,  and others, the
progress made to date on the corrective  action plan, and the requirement in the
Agreement  that  tissues  subject  to the FDA  Order be  replaced  with  tissues
processed under validated  methods.  As a result of this evaluation,  management
believed that all tissues  subject to the FDA Order,  as well as the majority of
tissues processed prior to October 3, 2001,  including heart valves,  which were
not subject to the FDA Order, were fully impaired. Management believed that most
of the  Company's  customers  would  only  order  tissues  processed  after  the
September  5, 2002  Agreement  or  tissues  processed  under  future  procedures
approved by the FDA once those tissues were available.  The Company  anticipated
that the tissues  processed  under the  Agreement  would be  available  early to
mid-November.  Thus, the Company recorded a write-down of deferred  preservation
costs for  processed  tissues in excess of the supply  required  to meet  demand
prior to the release of these  interim  processed  tissues.  The Company did not
record any  further  write-downs  of deferred  preservation  costs in the fourth
quarter of 2002.  As of December  31, 2002 the balance of deferred  preservation
costs  were $2.0  million  for  allograft  heart  valve  tissues,  $620,000  for
non-valved  cardiac  tissues,  $1.7 million for vascular  tissues,  and zero for
orthopaedic tissues.

As a result of the  write-down  of  deferred  preservation  costs,  the  Company
recorded $6.3 million in income tax receivables and $4.5 million in deferred tax
assets.  Upon destruction or shipment of the remaining  tissues  associated with
the deferred  preservation costs write-down,  the deferred tax asset will become
deductible in the Company's tax return. An expected refund of approximately $8.5
million  will  be  generated  through  a  carry  back of  operating  losses  and
write-downs of deferred  preservation  costs. In addition,  the Company recorded
$2.5 million in income tax  receivables  related to  estimated  tax payments for
2002. The Company received payment of the $2.5 million in January of 2003.

On  September  3, 2002 the Company  announced a reduction  in employee  force of
approximately  105 employees.  In the third quarter of 2002 the Company recorded
accrued restructuring costs of approximately $690,000, for severance and related
costs of the  employee  force  reduction.  The expense was  recorded in general,
administrative,  and  marketing  expenses  and was  included as a  component  of
accrued  expenses and other  current  liabilities  on the  Consolidated  Balance
Sheet.  During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company utilized $580,000 of


                                       F-15


the accrued  restructuring  costs,  including  $505,000 for salary and severance
payments,  $64,000 for placement services for affected employees, and $11,000 in
other related costs.  As of December 31, 2002, the remaining  balance of accrued
restructuring costs was $110,000.

The Company expects its liquidity to decrease  significantly  over the next year
due to the anticipated  significant decrease in revenues throughout at least the
first  half of 2003 as  compared  to the prior year  period,  as a result of the
reported tissue infections,  the FDA Order and associated adverse publicity, and
an  expected  decrease  in  cash  due to the  anticipated  increased  legal  and
professional costs relating to the defense of lawsuits (discussed in Note 9) and
ongoing  FDA  compliance.   The  Company  believes  that   anticipated   revenue
generation, expense management including the cessation of the development of the
bioprosthetic  valves,  savings  resulting  from the  reduction in the number of
employees to reflect the  reduction in revenues,  tax refunds  expected to be at
least $11 million ($2.5 million of estimated tax payments  remitted for the 2002
tax year which were received in January of 2003, and approximately  $8.5 million
of loss carrybacks  generated from operating  losses and write-downs of deferred
preservation  costs), and the Company's existing cash and marketable  securities
will enable the Company to meet its liquidity  needs  through at least  December
31, 2003, even if the term loan is called in its entirety. There is no assurance
that the  Company  will be able to return to the level of demand  for its tissue
services that existed prior to the FDA Order due to the adverse  publicity or as
a result of customers and to tissue banks switching to  competitors.  Failure of
the  Company  to  maintain  sufficient  demand  for its  services,  would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business,  financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows.

4.  IDEAS FOR MEDICINE, INC.

On March 5, 1997 the  Company  acquired  the stock of Ideas for  Medicine,  Inc.
("IFM"),   a  medical  device  company   specializing  in  the  manufacture  and
distribution of single-use  medical devices,  for consideration of approximately
$4.5 million in cash and  approximately  $5.0 million in convertible  debentures
plus related expenses. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of
accounting.  The cash portion of the purchase  price was financed by  borrowings
under the  Company's  revolving  term loan  agreement.  Pursuant to the purchase
agreement, an additional  consideration of $700,000 was paid in January 2000. In
connection  with this  acquisition,  the Company  also entered into a consulting
agreement with the former majority shareholder of IFM requiring monthly payments
to such shareholder of approximately $17,000 until March 2002.

On September 30, 1998 the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
IFM product line and certain related assets, consisting of inventory, equipment,
and intellectual  property,  to Horizon Medical  Products,  Inc. ("HMP") for $15
million in cash pursuant to an asset purchase agreement.  Concurrently,  IFM and
HMP signed a  Manufacturing  Agreement (the  "Agreement")  that provided for the
manufacture  by IFM of specified  minimum  dollar  amounts of IFM products to be
purchased  exclusively  by HMP over each of the four years  following  the sale.
Thereafter, responsibility for such manufacturing was to be assumed by HMP.

The Company  recorded  deferred  income at the  transaction  date  totaling $2.9
million,  representing  the selling  price less the net book value of the assets
sold, which included $7.7 million of goodwill, net of accumulated  amortization,
and the costs related to the sale. The income was deferred  because the sale and
manufacturing agreements represented, in the aggregate, a single transaction for
which the related income should be recognized over the term of the manufacturing
agreement.  Accordingly, the deferred income was reflected in cost of goods sold
during 1999 to maintain  margins that would have been  approximately  equal over
the four-year  period of the Agreement on the products  manufactured and sold by
IFM to HMP. During 1999 amortization of deferred income totaled $1.2 million.

On June 22, 1999 IFM notified  HMP that it was in default of certain  provisions
of the Agreement.  Specifically,  HMP was in violation of the payment provisions
contained within the Agreement,  which called for inventory purchases to be paid
for  within  45 days of  delivery.  Additionally,  HMP was in  violation  due to
nonpayment of interest related to such past due accounts receivable.

After  notification  of the default,  HMP indicated to the Company that it would
not be able to meet and did not meet the minimum purchase  requirements outlined
in the  Agreement.  At December 31,  1999,  the Company  determined  that it had
incurred  an  impairment   loss  on  its  IFM  assets  due  to  the  significant
uncertainties related to the Company's ability to realize its investment in IFM.
In  calculating  the amount of the  impairment  loss,  management  used its best
estimate to determine the  realizable  value of its increase in working  capital
due to the HMP  default  and the  recoverability  of  IFM's  long-lived  assets,
consisting  primarily  of leasehold  improvements  and  equipment.  As a result,
management recorded a $2.1 million impairment loss on working capital and a $2.6
million  impairment loss on leasehold  improvements.  Additionally,  the Company
offset the above  charges  with $2.5  million of  deferred  income  recorded  in
connection  with the sale of the IFM product line to HMP. The net pretax  effect
of the above  nonrecurring  charges was $2.2 million and has been included under
the  caption  "Nonrecurring  charges"  in the  1999  Consolidated  Statement  of
Operations.


                                       F-17



On October 9, 2000 the Company sold substantially all of the remaining assets of
IFM to HMP. The assets consisted primarily of inventory, equipment and leasehold
improvements,  which had a net book  value of $2.4  million at the date of sale.
The  terms  of the  transaction  required  HMP to pay  the  Company  the  sum of
approximately $5.9 million,  payable in equal monthly  installments of principal
and interest of $140,000.  The note  consists of a portion,  approximately  $3.8
million, which bears interest at 9% per year, and a non-interest-bearing portion
of approximately  $2.1 million.  The note also required an additional $1 million
principal  payment at any time prior to April 3, 2001. If the $1 million payment
was made when due, and no other defaults existed under the note, then $1 million
of the non-interest-bearing  portion of the note would be forgiven. In addition,
at such time as the  principal  balance  has been paid down to $1.1  million and
there have been no defaults under the promissory note, the remainder of the note
will be forgiven  and the note will be  canceled.  The  Company had  recorded as
notes receivable only the balances owed on the  interest-bearing  portion of the
note. Due to uncertainties regarding HMP's ability to pay the full amount of the
note, the Company also recorded  reserves against these notes such that the gain
from  the  sale is  deferred  until  the  full  amount  of the  note  is  deemed
collectible. In addition, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with HMP
under which HMP assumed responsibility for the IFM manufacturing facility. Also,
substantially all of the employees of IFM have become employees of HMP.

On March 30,  2001,  HMP sold the IFM  assets to a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of
LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. ("LeMaitre"), and the remaining portion of the Company's
note receivable from HMP and the sublease  agreement was assumed by the LeMaitre
subsidiary  and the  payment  schedule  was  restructured.  On April 2, 2001 the
Company received a scheduled $1 million  principal payment from LeMaitre and, as
a  result,  $1  million  of the  non-interest-bearing  portion  of the  note was
forgiven in accordance  with the terms of the assumed note. At December 31, 2001
the Company  reassessed the  collectibility  of the note receivable based on the
payment  record and  general  creditworthiness  of  LeMaitre.  As a result,  the
Company  reduced the reserve on the note  receivable to $250,000 from  $963,000,
and recorded a  non-recurring  pretax gain of $713,000 in the fourth  quarter of
2001 that is included  within Other  Income in the  Consolidated  Statements  of
Operations.  During 2002, LeMaitre remitted payment for the remaining balance of
the note  receivable.  During 2002, the Company  reduced the reserve on the note
receivable to zero,  and recorded a $250,000  non-recurring  pretax gain that is
included within Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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. Borrowings
under  the line of credit  accrued  interest  equal to  Adjusted  LIBOR  plus 2%


                                       F-18


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% (2.94% at December 31, 2002).
At December 31, 2002 the  principal  balance of the Term Loan was $5.6  million.
The Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.  The Term
Loan  contains  certain  restrictive  covenants  including,  but not limited to,
maintenance  of  certain   financial   ratios,  a  minimum  tangible  net  worth
requirement,  and the requirement that no materially adverse event has occurred.
The lender has notified the Company that the FDA Order,  as described in Note 2,
and the  inquiries  of the SEC,  as  described  in Note 9,  have had a  material
adverse   effect  on  the  Company  that   constitutes   an  event  of  default.
Additionally,  as of December 31, 2002,  the Company is in violation of the debt
coverage ratio and net worth  financial  covenants.  As of February 24, 2003 the
lender has elected not to declare an event of default, but reserves the right to
exercise any such right under the terms of the Term Loan. Therefore, all amounts
due under the Term  Loan as of  December  31,  2002 are  reflected  as a current
liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In March  1997  the  Company  issued a $5.0  million  convertible  debenture  in
connection with the Ideas for Medicine, Inc. acquisition.  The debenture accrued
interest at 7% and was convertible  into common stock of the Company at any time
prior to the due date of March 5, 2002 at $8.05 per common  share.  On March 30,
1998 $607,000 of the  convertible  debenture was converted into 75,000 shares of
the Company's  common stock, and on March 4, 2002 the remaining $4.4 million was
converted into 546,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On July 30, 2002 the Company  entered into a line of credit  agreement  with the
same  lender as for the Term Loan,  permitting  the  Company to borrow up to $10
million.  Borrowings under the line of credit agreement accrue interest equal to
Adjusted   LIBOR  plus  1.25%  adjusted   monthly.   This  loan  is  secured  by
substantially  all of the  Company's  assets.  On  August  21,  2002 the  lender
notified the Company that, as a result of the FDA Order, as discussed in Note 2,
it was not  entitled  to any  further  advances  under  the line of  credit.  On
November  27, 2002 the lender  notified the Company  that it had  cancelled  the
unfunded  commitment  of the line of credit,  as the  Company  was in default of
certain provisions and financial covenants of the line of credit agreement.  The
Company  had no  outstanding  borrowings  on the line of  credit  at the time of
cancellation.

Scheduled  maturities  of long-term  debt for the next five years are as follows
(in thousands):

2003                                    $       1,600

                                        $       5,600

Total  interest costs were $692,000,  and $915,000,  and $528,000,  in 2002, and
2001, and 2000 which included zero,  $819,000,  and $229,000,  respectively,  of
interest   capitalized  in  connection  with  the  expansion  of  the  corporate
headquarters and manufacturing facilities.


7.  DERIVATIVES

The Company's Term Loan, which accrues interest  computed at Adjusted LIBOR plus
1.5%,  exposes the Company to changes in interest rates going forward.  On March
16,  2000,   the  Company   entered  into  a  $4.0   million   notional   amount
forward-starting interest swap agreement,  which took effect on June 1, 2001 and
expires in 2006.  This swap  agreement  was  designated  as a cash flow hedge to
effectively  convert a portion of the Term Loan  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 amounts in exchange for fixed
rate interest  payments over the life of the  agreement,  without an exchange of
the underlying  principal  amounts.  The  differential to be paid or received is
recognized  in the  period in which it  accrues  as an  adjustment  to  interest
expense on the Term Loan.

On January 1, 2001 the Company adopted SFAS 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


                                       F-19


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, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of
approximately  $175,000 related to the interest rate swap, which was recorded as
part of long-term  liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income as the
cumulative  effect of adopting  SFAS 133 within the  Statement of  Shareholders'
Equity.

In August 2002 the Company  determined  that  changes in the  derivative's  fair
value could no longer be recorded in other comprehensive  income, as a result of
the  uncertainty of future cash payments on the Term Loan caused by the lender's
ability to declare an event of default  as  discussed  in Note 6.  Beginning  in
August 2002 the  Company  began  recording  all changes in the fair value of the
derivative  into  other   expense/income  on  the  Consolidated   Statements  of
Operations,   and  is  amortizing  the  amounts  previously  recorded  in  other
comprehensive  income of $292,000 into other  expense/income  over the remaining
life of the swap  agreement  through June 2006.  If the lender  accelerates  the
payments due under the term loan by declaring an event of default, any remaining
balance  in  other   comprehensive   income   will  be   reclassed   into  other
expense/income during that period.

At  December  31,  2002 the  notional  amount  of this swap  agreement  was $2.8
million, and the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement, as estimated by
the bank based on its internal  valuation  models,  was a liability of $280,000.
The  fair  value  of the  swap  agreement  is  recorded  as part  of  short-term
liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company recorded a loss of
$20,000 on the interest rate swap. The unamortized  value of the swap agreement,
recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive  income account of shareholders'
equity, was $260,000 at December 31, 2002.


8.  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",  requires
the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The
carrying  amounts of receivables  and accounts  payable  approximate  their fair
values due to the short-term  maturity of these instruments.  The carrying value
of the Company's other financial instruments approximated fair value at December
31, 2002 and 2001.


9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES
The Company leases equipment,  furniture,  office, and manufacturing space under
various  leases  with  terms of up to 15 years.  Commencing  January 5, 1998 the
Company  leased office and  manufacturing  facilities  under a capital lease for
$24,125 per month with an interest  rate at 8% per annum  through  January  2008
from the former majority shareholder of IFM. This lease is subject to a sublease

Total rental expense for operating  leases  amounted to $2,470,000,  $2,243,000,
and  $1,478,000,  for 2002,  2001, and 2000,  respectively.  Total rental income
under the sublease was $310,000 in 2002, $310,000 in 2001, and $95,000 in 2000.

Due to cross default provisions included in the Company's debt agreements, as of
December 31, 2002 the Company was in default of certain capital lease agreements
maintained  with the lender of the Term Loan.  Therefore,  all amounts due under
these capital  leases are reflected as a current  liability on the  Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2002.

LITIGATION, CLAIMS, AND ASSESSMENTS
In the normal  course of business as a medical  device and services  company the
Company has product  liability  complaints  filed against it. As of February 24,
2003 21 cases had been  filed  against  the  Company  between  May 18,  2000 and
January 30,  2003.  The cases are  currently in the  pre-discovery  or discovery
stages.  Of these cases, 14 allege product  liability  claims arising out of the
Company's  orthopaedic  tissue  services,  six allege product  liability  claims
arising out of the  Company's  allograft  heart valve tissue  services,  and one
alleges product liability claims arising out of the non-tissue  products made by
Ideas for Medicine, when it was a subsidiary of the Company.

Included  in these  cases is the  complaint  filed  against  the  Company in the
Superior  Court of Cobb County,  Georgia,  on July 12, 2002 by Steve Lykins,  as
Trustee for the benefit of next of kin of Brian Lykins.  This complaint  alleges
strict liability, negligence,  professional negligence, and breach of warranties
related to tissue implanted in November of 2001. The plaintiff seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages.

The Company maintains claims-made insurance policies, which the Company believes
to be adequate to defend against these suits.  The Company's  insurance  company
has been notified of these  actions.  The Company  intends to vigorously  defend
against these claims.  Nonetheless,  an adverse  judgment or judgments  imposing
aggregate liabilities in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  position,  results  of
operations, and cash flows.

Claims-made  insurance  policies cover only those asserted  claims and incidents
that are reported to the insurance carrier while the policy is in effect.  Thus,
a  claims-made  policy  does not  represent  a  transfer  of risk for claims and
incidents that have been incurred but not reported to the insurance carrier. The
Company  periodically  evaluates  its exposure to unreported  product  liability
claims,  and records  accruals as necessary for the estimated cost of unreported
claims related to services  performed and products  sold.  During the year ended
December  31, 2002 the  Company  accrued  $3.6  million in  estimated  costs for
unreported  product liability claims related to services  performed and products
sold  during  2002 and  prior  years.  The  expense  was  recorded  in  general,
administrative,  and  marketing  expenses  and was  included as a  component  of
accrued  expenses and other  current  liabilities  on the  Consolidated  Balance
Sheets.

Several putative class action lawsuits were filed in July through September 2002
against  the Company and  certain  officers  of the  Company  alleging  that the
defendants  violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934 and Rule 10b-5  promulgated  there under.  During the third quarter of 2002
the U.S.  District Court for the Northern  District of Georgia  consolidated the
suits,  and on November  14, 2002 lead  plaintiffs  were named.  A  consolidated
complaint was filed on January 15, 2003,  seeking the Court's  certification  of
the  litigation  as a class action on behalf of all  purchasers of the Company's
stock between April 2, 2001 and August 14, 2002. The consolidated complaint also
seeks recovery of compensatory damages in an unspecified amount and various fees
and expenses of litigation, including attorneys' fees. The principal allegations
of the  consolidated  complaint  are that the  Company  failed to  disclose  its
alleged lack of compliance with certain FDA  regulations  regarding the handling

                                       F-21


and processing of certain tissues and other product safety matters. Although the
Company considers all of the claims in the consolidated  complaint to be without
merit and intends to defend  against them  vigorously,  the Company is unable to
predict at this time the final  outcome of these  claims.  The  Company  carries
directors'  and  officers'  liability  insurance  policies,  which  the  Company
currently believes should be adequate to address these claims.  Nonetheless,  an
adverse  judgment in excess of the  Company's  insurance  coverage  could have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  position,  results  of
operations, and cash flows.

The Company  received  notice in October  2002 that a  complaint  had been filed
instituting  a  shareholder  derivative  action  against the Company and Company
officers and  directors  Steven G.  Anderson,  Albert E.  Heacox,  John W. Cook,
Ronald C. Elkins, Virginia C. Lacy, Ronald D. McCall, Alexander C. Schwartz, and
Bruce J. Van Dyne. The suit was filed in the Superior Court of Gwinnett  County,
Georgia, by Rosemary  Lichtenberger.  The suit alleges the individual defendants
breached  their  fiduciary  duties to the  Company by causing  or  allowing  the
Company to engage in  practices  that  caused the  Company to suffer  damages by
being out of compliance with FDA guidelines, and by causing the Company to issue
press  releases that  erroneously  portrayed  CryoLife's  products,  operations,
financial  results,  and future  prospects.  The complainant  seeks  undisclosed
damages,  costs and attorney's fees, punitive damages,  and prejudgment interest
against the  individual  defendants  derivatively  on behalf of the Company as a
nominal  defendant.  By an order  entered on January 21,  2003,  the lawsuit was
stayed  until  discovery  commences in the  consolidated  complaint of the class
action  lawsuit.  In January  2003 the  Company  received  notice  that  another
shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County,
Georgia by Robert F.  Frailey  against the Company as a nominal  defendant,  and
Company  officers and directors  Steven G. Anderson,  Bruce J. Van Dyne, John W.
Cook,  Ronald D.  McCall,  Ronald C. Elkins,  Virginia C. Lacy and  Alexander C.
Schwartz.  The complaint  asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty,  abuse of
control,  gross  mismanagement,  and  waste  of  corporate  assets.  As  in  the
Lichtenberger action, the Frailey action alleges that the defendant officers and
directors  caused the Company to suffer damages by being out of compliance  with
FDA  guidelines,  and by  causing  the  Company  to issue  press  releases  that
erroneously  portrayed CryoLife's products,  operations,  financial results, and
future prospects. The complaint also alleges improper insider trading by certain
Company  officers and  directors.  The  complainant  seeks  declaratory  relief,
damages of unspecified  amount,  litigation  expenses  including  attorneys' and
experts'  fees,  and  unspecified  equitable or  injunctive  relief  against the
individual  defendants  derivatively  on  behalf  of the  Company  as a  nominal
defendant.  The  Frailey  complaint  has not yet been served on any of the named
defendants.

The Company's Board of Directors has established a committee that is independent
of  management  to  investigate  the Claims  asserted in the  Lichtenberger  and
Frailey  complaints  and report back to the Board with its  recommendations  for
action in response to the shareholders'  demands. The independent  committee has
engaged independent legal counsel to assist in the investigation.  The committee
is in the process of its investigation.

On August 7, 2002 the Company announced the settlement of its ongoing litigation
with Colorado State University Research Foundation  ("CSURF") over the ownership
of the Company's  SynerGraft  technology.  The settlement  resolves all disputes
between the parties and extinguishes all CSURF ownership claims to any aspect of
the Company's  SynerGraft  technology.  The settlement includes an unconditional
assignment to the Company of CSURF tissue engineering patents, trade secrets and
know-how  relating  to  tissue  decellularization  and  recellularization.   The
technology  assignment  supercedes  the  1996  technology  license,   which  was
terminated by the terms of the settlement. Payment terms include a nonrefundable
advance of $400,000  paid by the Company to CSURF that will be applied to earned
royalties as they accrue through March 2011. The Company  recorded these amounts
as prepaid royalties and will expense the amounts as the royalties  accrue.  The
earned  royalty  rate is a maximum of 0.75% of net  revenues  from  products  or
tissue services utilizing the SynerGraft technology.  Royalties earned under the
agreement for revenues through December 31, 2002 were approximately $37,000.

On August 17, 2002 the Company  received a letter from the U.S.  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission (the "SEC Letter") that stated that the Company was subject
to an investigation related to the Company's August 14, 2002 announcement of the
FDA Order and  requesting  information  from the Company from the period between
September 1, 2001 through the date of the Company's  response to the SEC Letter.
The SEC Letter stated,  in part, that "We are trying to determine  whether there
have been any violations of the federal  securities laws. The  investigation and
the subpoena do not mean that we have  concluded that anyone has broken the law.
Also,  the  investigation  does not mean that we have a negative  opinion of any

                                       F-22


person,  entity or security." The staff of the SEC  subsequently  confirmed that
its  investigation  was  informal in nature,  and that it did not have  subpoena
power. At the present time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this
matter.

The Company has concluded that it is probable that it will incur losses relating
to  claims  and  litigation  of at least  $1.2  million,  which  represents  the
aggregate amount of the Company's  deductibles  under its product  liability and
directors' and officers' insurance policies.  Therefore the Company has recorded
an accrual of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2002.


10.  STOCK OPTION PLANS

The  Company  has stock  option  plans  which  provide  for grants of options to
employees  and  directors to purchase  shares of the  Company's  common stock at
exercise prices generally equal to the fair values of such stock at the dates of
grant,  which generally become  exercisable over a five-year  vesting period and
expire within ten years of the grant dates.  Under the 1993  Employee  Incentive
Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Long-Term  Incentive  Plan, the 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan, and the amended and restated Nonemployee  Director's Plan, the Company has
authorized  the grant of  options  of up to  1,050,000,  900,000,  974,000,  and
594,000 shares of common stock, respectively.  As of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
there were 427,000 and 128,000,  respectively,  shares of common stock  reserved
for future  issuance under the Company's  stock option plans. A summary of stock
option transactions under the plans follows:

In September  1999,  the Company  granted  options to a nonemployee  to purchase
18,000  shares of common  stock at an  exercise  price of $8.21  per  share.  In
connection with the issuance of these options, the Company recognized $60,000 as
deferred  compensation  for the  estimated  fair value of the options.  Deferred
compensation  is  amortized  ratably  over the vesting  period of the options in
accordance with SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation" ("SFAS

11.  SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On November 27, 1995 the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan to
protect  long-term share value for the Company's  shareholders.  Under the plan,
the Board declared a distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of the
Company's  Common  Stock  to  shareholders  of  record  on  December  11,  1995.
Additionally,  the Company has further  authorized  and directed the issuance of
one Right with  respect to each  Common  Share  that  shall  become  outstanding
between  December  11, 1995 and the  earliest of the  Right's  exercise  date or
expiration date. Each Right entitles the registered  holder to purchase from the
Company   one-thirtieth   of  a  share  of  a  newly  created  Series  A  Junior
Participating  Preferred  Stock at an exercise price of $100. The Rights,  which
expire on November 27, 2005,  may be exercised  only if certain  conditions  are
met, such as the  acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's  Common Stock by a
person or affiliated group ("Acquiring Person").

In the event the Rights  become  exercisable,  each Right will enable the owner,
other than the  Acquiring  Person,  to  purchase,  at the Right's  then  current
exercise price,  that number of shares of Common Stock with a market value equal
to twice the exercise price times the number of one-tenth's of a share of Series
A Junior Participating  Preferred Stock for which the Right is then exercisable.
In addition,  unless the Acquiring  Person owns more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of  Common  Stock,  the Board of  Directors  may  elect to  exchange  all
outstanding  Rights  (other  than those  owned by such  Acquiring  Person) at an
exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right appropriately  adjusted to
reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction.


12.  STOCK REPURCHASE

On July 18, 2002 the Company's Board of Directors  authorized the purchase of up
to $10 million in shares of its common  stock.  The purchase of shares was to be
made from  time-to-time in open market or privately  negotiated  transactions on
such terms as management deemed appropriate. As of December 31, 2002 the Company
had  repurchased  68,000  shares of its common stock for an  aggregate  purchase
price of $663,000. No further purchases are anticipated in the near term.

On October 14, 1998 the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the Company to
purchase up to 1.5 million shares of its common stock.  As of December 31, 2001,
and 2000,  the Company had  purchased an aggregate  of 1,159,000  and  1,159,000
shares,  respectively,  of its common stock for an aggregate  purchase  price of
$8,258,000 and $8,258,000,  respectively.  No further  purchases are anticipated
under this authorization.

At December  31, 2002 the Company has  recorded a net deferred tax asset of $5.7
million. If the temporary  differences that generated the net deferred tax asset
become  fully  deductible  in 2003,  the Company  will have  sufficient  pre-tax
earnings in 2001 to  carryback  these losses and realize the deferred tax asset.
If some of the temporary  differences  become  deductible  in future years,  the
realization of the deferred tax asset may be dependent on generating  sufficient
taxable  income in future  periods.  Although  realization  is not ensured,  the
Company  believes  that it is more likely than not that the  deferred  tax asset
will be realized.


17.  EXECUTIVE INSURANCE PLAN

Pursuant to a supplemental life insurance program for certain executive officers
of the Company, the Company and the executives share in the premium payments and
ownership of insurance  policies on the lives of such executives.  Upon death of
the insured party, policy proceeds equal to the premium  contribution are due to
the Company with the remaining  proceeds due to the designated  beneficiaries of
the insured party.  The Company's  aggregate  premium  contributions  under this
program  were  $74,000,   $75,000,  and  $53,000,  for  2002,  2001,  and  2000,
respectively.


18.  EQUIPMENT ON LOAN TO IMPLANTING HOSPITALS

The Company consigns liquid nitrogen freezers with certain implanting  hospitals
for tissue  storage.  The freezers are the property of the Company.  At December
31, 2002  freezers with a total cost of  approximately  $2.3 million and related
accumulated  depreciation  of  approximately  $1.5  million  were located at the
implanting  hospitals'  premises.  Depreciation  is provided  over the estimated
useful lives of the freezers on a straight-line basis.

20.  SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments:  Human Tissue Preservation Services and
Implantable  Medical Devices.  The Company's segments are organized according to
services and products.

The HUMAN TISSUE  PRESERVATION  SERVICES segment includes  external revenue from
cryopreservation  services of  cardiovascular,  vascular,  and orthopaedic human
tissue.  The IMPLANTABLE  MEDICAL DEVICES segment includes external revenue from
product sales of BioGlue Surgical Adhesive and bioprosthetic devices,  including
stentless  porcine heart valves,  SynerGraft  treated porcine heart valves,  and
SynerGraft treated bovine vascular grafts. There are no intersegment sales.

The  primary  measure  of  segment  performance,  as  viewed  by  the  Company's
management,  is segment  gross  margin,  or net external  revenues  less cost of
preservation  services and products.  The Company does not  segregate  assets by
segment;  therefore asset  information is excluded from the segment  disclosures
below.

The following  table  summarizes  revenues,  cost of  preservation  services and
products, and gross margin for the Company's operating segments (in thousands):

b Net external revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the
customer.

At December 31, 2002,  2001, and 2000, over 95% of the long-lived  assets of the
Company were held in the U.S.,  where all Company  manufacturing  facilities and
the corporate headquarters are located.


20.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 20, 2003 the Company received a letter from the FDA that stated that
a 510(k) premarket  notification  should be filed for the Company's CryoValve SG
and that premarket approval marketing  authorization  should be obtained for the
Company's  CryoVein SG when used for arteriovenous  ("A-V") access. The agency's
position is that use of the SynerGraft technology in the processing of allograft
heart  valves  represents  a  modification  to the  Company's  legally  marketed
CryoValve  allograft,  and that  femoral  veins used for A-V access are  medical
devices that require premarket  approval.  CryoLife will be providing the agency
with  information to  demonstrate  that femoral veins used for A-V access should
continue to be  regulated as human tissue under Parts 1270 and 1271 of the FDA's
regulations.  The FDA letter did not  question  the  safety or  efficacy  of the
SynerGraft process or the CryoVein A-V access implant.

The  Company has  advised  the FDA that it will  voluntarily  suspend use of the
SynerGraft  technology in the processing of allograft  heart valves and vascular
tissue  until the  regulatory  status of the  CryoValve  SG and  CryoVein  SG is
resolved.  The FDA has not suggested that these tissues be recalled.  Until such
time as the issues  surrounding  the SG tissue are  resolved,  the Company  will
employ its  traditional  processing  methods on these tissues.  Distribution  of
allograft  heart  valves  and  vascular  tissue  processed  using the  Company's
traditional  processing protocols will continue.  The outcome of the discussions
with the FDA regarding the use of the  SynerGraft  process on human tissue could
result in a reduction in SynerGraft processed cardiovascular and vascular tissue
which would reduce the revenues and gross margins with respect to cardiovascular
and vascular tissues.

paragraph  because the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and
other  intangible  assets  to  conform  to  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets",  which was adopted by
the Company as of January 1, 2002;  such report is  included  elsewhere  in this
Form 10-K.  Our audit also included the 2002  financial  statement  schedules of
CryoLife,  Inc., listed in Item 14. These financial  statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion  based on our  audit.  The  financial  statements  of the  Company as of
December  31,  2001 and 2000 and for the years then ended were  audited by other
auditors who have ceased  operations.  Those  auditors  expressed an unqualified
opinion on the 2001 and 2000  financial  statements  in their report dated March
29, 2002.  Those  auditors  also audited the 2001 and 2000  financial  statement
schedules  listed in Item 14, and their report dated March 29, 2002 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statement schedules.

In our opinion,  such 2002 financial  statement  schedules,  when  considered in
relation to the basic 2002 financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.
