Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Preservation and product revenues increased 9%11% to $15.8$16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 from $14.6$14.5 million for the same period in 1997. Preservation and product revenues increased 22% to $45.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $37.6 million for the same period in 1997.1998. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the growing acceptance in the medical community of cryopreserved tissues which has resulted in increased demand for the Company's cryopreservation services, the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue, price increases for certain preservation services, and revenues attributable to the Company's lineintroduction of single-use devices following the Ideas for Medicine, Inc. ("IFM") acquisitionBioGlue Surgical Adhesive in March 1997. Revenues from IFM decreased 10% to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing 10% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This decreaseinternational markets in revenues was primarily attributable to a 3% decrease in IFM shipments due to a decrease in demand and a decrease in average selling price due to competitive pricing pressures and a change in the product mix for the three months ended September 30,April 1998. Revenues from IFM increased 22% to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 10% of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues is due to the nine months ended September 30, 1998 having two extra months of IFM revenue than the nine months ended September 30, 1997 due to the IFM acquisition closing on March 5, 1997. Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services decreased 2%8% to $8.4$6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 from $8.6$7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997,March 31, 1998, representing 53%42% and 59%51%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This decrease was primarily due to a 9% decrease in average selling price resulting from a change in the product mix, partially offset by a 1% increase in the number of heart allograft shipments for the three months ended September 30, 1998.March 31, 1999. The decrease in the number of heart allograft shipments primarily results from fewer pulmonary heart valve allografts being shipped due to a decrease in the number of Ross procedures being performed. Revenues from human heart valve and conduitvascular tissue cryopreservation services increased 7%39% to $23.8$4.9 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 from $22.2$3.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1997,March 31, 1998, representing 52%30% and 59%24%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 7%29% increase in the number of heartvascular allograft shipments for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998, respectively,March 31, 1999 due to an increased demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue partially offset byand a focus on procuring and distributing long segment veins which have a higher per unit revenue than the decrease in average selling price as discussed above.short segment veins. Revenues from human vascularconnective tissue cryopreservation services increased 27%33% to $3.4$2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 from $2.7$1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997,March 31, 1998, representing 21%15% and 19%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods.

This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 25% and a 34% increase in the number of vascular allograft shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, due to an increased demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue. Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 36% to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, representing 12% and 9%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 65% to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 12% and 9%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to a 16% and an 55%23% increase in the number of allograft shipments for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively,March 31, 1999 due to increased demand and the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue. Additional revenue increases have resulted from a greater proportion of the 19981999 shipments consisting of cryopreserved menisci, which have a significantly higher per unit revenue than the Company's cryopreserved tendons and price increases for the cryopreservation of menisci and tendons. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices increased 37% to $243,000Ideas for Medicine, Inc. ("IFM") were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, representing 10% and 11%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. The IFM product line was sold on September 30, 1998. In October 1998 IFM began an OEM manufacturing agreement which provides for the manufacture by IFM of specified minimum dollar amounts of IFM products to be purchased exclusively by the purchaser of the IFM product line over each of the four years following the sale. Revenues from $177,000bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices were $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,March 31, 1999 and 1998, representing 2% and 1%, respectively, of total revenues during each such periods. Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices increased 59% to $660,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 1% of total revenues during such periods.

Grant revenues increased to $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $28,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.March 31, 1998. This increase in grant revenues is primarily attributable to the SynerGraft(R) research and development programs. Other income increased to $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $71,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Other income increased to $970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $185,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Other income in 1998 relates primarily to proceeds from the sale of the Company's port product line.7 Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $6.3$7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998,March 31, 1999, compared to $5.1$5.5 million for the corresponding period in 1997,1998, representing 40%46% and 35%, respectively,38% of total cryopreservation and product revenues in each period. Cost of cryopreservation services and products aggregated $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $13.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, representing 39% and 35% of total cryopreservation and product revenues, respectively. Cost of cryopreservation services and products increased 23% for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. The increase in 1998 of the 1999 cost of cryopreservation services and products as a percentage of revenues results from a lesser portion of 19981999 revenues being derived from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services, which carry a significantly higher gross margins than other cryopreservation services, from increased manufacturing overhead costs associated with the Company's new manufacturing facilities and from the inclusionswitch in October of 1998 to OEM manufacturing of nine months of IFM's sales,single-use medical devices, which generategenerates lower gross margins than cryopreservation services compared with seven monthsand lower gross margins than the IFM products generated prior to the sale of the IFM sales in the first nine months of 1997.product line.

General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 18% to $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $15.3 million for the corresponding period in 1997, representing 39% and 41%, respectively, of total cryopreservationpreservation and product revenues in each period. The increase in expenditures in 19981999 resulted from expenses incurred to support the increase in revenues and costs associated with the introduction of BioGlue into the European community.revenues. Research and development expenses were $1.2$1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, and 1997, representing 7% and 9%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. Research and development expenses increased 16%March 31, 1999, compared to $3.4$1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 1998, compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding period in 1997, representing 7% and 8%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues for each period. Research and development spending relates principally to the Company's ongoing human clinical trials for its BioGlue surgical adhesive and to its focus on its bioadhesives and SynerGraft technologies. Net interest income was $373,000$306,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 compared to net interest expense of $316,000$430,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. Net1998. This increase in interest income was $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to net interest expense $736,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. Thisand decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 1999 was due to the receipt of interest income on the invested proceeds from the follow-on equity offering (the "Offering") completed in April 1998 is due toand reduction of interest expense from the repayment of certain indebtedness with the proceeds from the follow-on equity offering completed in April 1998,Offering, as well as the conversion of a portion of a convertible debenture into common stock of the Company, and the receipt of interest income on the invested proceeds from the Offering.Company. The decline in the effective income tax rate to 34%33% from 38% for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 1999 and 1998, and 1997, respectively, and to 35% from 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is due to the implementation of certain income tax planning strategies. Seasonality The demand for the Company's human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services is seasonal, with peak demand generally occurring in the second and third quarters. Management believes that this demand trend for human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation services is primarily due to the high number of pediatric surgeries scheduled during the summer months. Management believes that the trends experienced by the Company to date for its human connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation services indicate that this business may also be seasonal because it is an elective procedure thatwhich may be performed less frequently during the fourth quarter holiday months. However, the demand for the Company's human vascular tissue cryopreservation services, bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices, and single-use medical devicesBioGlue surgical adhesive does not appear to experience this seasonal trend. Additionally, based onAs an OEM manufacturer of single-use medical devices the current approved indications for BioGlue, management doesproduct sales are dictated by a manufacturing agreement which is not anticipate the demand for BioGlue to experienceaffected by a seasonal trend. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1998,March 31, 1999, net working capital was $67.4$61.7 million, compared to $18.8$62.3 million at December 31, 1997,1998, with a current ratio of 8 to 1.8-to-1 at March 31, 1999. The Company's primary capital requirements arise out of general working capital needs, capital expenditures for facilities and equipment and funding of research and development projects and a common stock repurchase plan approved by the boardBoard of directorsDirectors in October of 1998. The Company historically has funded these requirements through bank credit facilities, cash generated by operations and equity offerings. 8 Net cash used in operating activities was $2,237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities was $832,000of $698,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.March 31, 1998. This increasedecrease primarily resulted from: 1)from an increase in net income, 2)the accounts receivables due to increased revenues and an increase in payablesthe amount of accounts payable liquidated in the first quarter in 1999 due to construction projects, and 3)the expansion of the BioGlue manufacturing laboratory at corporate headquarters, partially offset by a decreasereduction in the growthincrease of deferred preservation cost due to more stringent inventory management policies, partially offset by 1) an increase in receivables related to the increase in revenues, 2) an increase in prepaidscosts and other assets resulting from the note receivable from the sale of the IFM port line and other miscellaneous deposits, and 3) the establishment of a deferred tax asset in conjunction with the sale of the remaining IFM product line. Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the absence of a business acquisition duringinventories between the first quarter of 19981999 as compared to the first quarter of 1997,1998. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the addition of other assets during which the Company acquired IFM, coupled withfirst quarter of 1999. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million for the net proceeds from the sale of the IFM product linethree months ended March 31, 1999, as of September 30, 1998. Netcompared to net cash provided by financing activities was $33.6of $1.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.March 31, 1998. This increasedecrease was primarily attributable to proceeds of $45.4 million from the Offering, partially offset by the repayment ofa decrease in borrowings on the Company's bank loans due to the repayment of the Company's bank loans from the Offering proceeds and accrued interest thereon, totaling $13.3 million.the Company's repurchase of treasury stock during the first quarter of 1999. In October 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with an investment banking firm to provide financial advisory services related to a potential private placement of equity or equity-oriented securities to form a subsidiaryseparate company for the commercial development of its serine proteinase light activation (FibRx(R)) technologies. This strategy, if successful, will allow the Companyan affiliated entity to fund the FibRx technology in a subsidiary company and should expedite the commercial development of its blood clot dissolving and surgical sealant product applications without additional R&D expenditures by the Company.Company (other than through the affiliated company). This strategy, if successful, willshould also favorably impact the Company's liquidity going forward. The Company anticipates that the remaining net proceeds from the Offering proceeds from the sale of the IFM product lines, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating and development needs for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company's future liquidity and capital requirements beyond that period will depend upon numerous factors, including the timing of the Company's receipt of FDA approvals to begin clinical trials for its products currently in development, the resources required to further develop its marketing and sales capabilities if, and when, those products gain approval, the resources required to expand manufacturing capacity and the extent to which the Company's products generate market acceptance and demand. There can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional financing or will not seek to raise additional funds through bank facilities, debt or equity offerings or other sources of capital to meet future requirements. These additional funds may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company, which unavailability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Year 2000 The Company is aware of the issues that many companies will face as the year 2000 approaches. In order to become year 2000 compliant, the Company has set up a project team to address the issue and has taken the following steps: Impact Assessment: The Company has identified potential year 2000 issues and the associated potential risks. The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue and believes that its business products and services will not be significantly impacted. Additionally, the Company has determined that, with the exception of the Company's clinical tracking database, all of the Company's financial and operational applications have been upgraded to or replaced with year 2000 compliant software. Third Party Impact Assessments: The Company has begun to verifyverified the readiness of its significant suppliers through the distribution of a questionnaire. This process is estimated to be completequestionnaire which was 90% returned by the suppliers by January 1, 1999 indicating compliance or that compliance would be achieved by June 30, 1999. The Company does not anticipate that a lack of compliance of the vendors will significantly affect the Company's daily operations. 9 Project Plan: The Company began its compliance strategy in October 1997.1998. With the exception of the clinical tracking database, all of the "off the shelf" software packages have been upgraded to compliant releases. Older internally developed software has been replaced with new systems that are year 2000 compliant. The remaining clinical tracking system will be internally rewritten, and implemented by first quarterJuly 31, 1999. The Company estimates that all modifications and testing for year 2000 issues will be completed at a cost of less than $50,000 including expenditures to date. Contingency Plan: The principal risk the Company faces is a delay in the implementation of the new clinical tracking system. Although the clinical tracking system is not critical to the day-to-day operations of the Company, it is important for FDA compliance regarding follow-up procedures after transplant. A delay in the implementation of the new clinical tracking system would result in the Company having to rely on its paper support for required FDA data. Although the Company is uncertain what the costs associated with a delay would be or the related impact on operations, liquidity and financial condition, the Company does not expect the impact to be material. The Company expects to have a contingency plan completed by March 15,June 30, 1999. The Company believes that it is diligently addressing the year 2000 issue and expects that through its actions, year 2000 problems are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its operations. However, there can be no assurance that such problems will not arise. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). The Company adopted Statement 130 January 1, 1998. Due to the immateriality of the Company's elements of comprehensive income, such adoption had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Forward-Looking Statements Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998March 31, 1999 that state the Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements as a result of adverse changes in any of a number of factors that affect the Company's business, including without limitation, changes in (1) the effects on the Company of year 2000 issues including unanticipated expenses in connection therewith, (2) the Company's ability to find an equity investor in the FibRx technology and the impact of such an investment on the Company's liquidity, (3) government regulationthe adequacy of the Company's business, (4)financing arrangements over the Company's competitive position, (5) the availability of tissue for implant, (6) the status of the Company's products under development, (7) the protection of the Company's proprietary technology and (8) the reimbursement of health care costs by third-party payors.next twelve months. See the "Business-Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 19971998 for a more detailed discussion of these and other factors which might affect the Company's future performance. Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussion About Market Risk. The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company's cash equivalents of $5.9 million and short-term investments of $17.3 million in municipal obligations as of March 31, 1999 as well as interest paid on its debt. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company generally maintains 80% to 90% of its debt as fixed rate in nature. As a result, the Company is subject to a risk that interest rates will decrease and the Company may be unable to refinance its debt. 10 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
