FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
Statements made in this presentation that look forward in time or that express management's beliefs, expectations or hopes are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements reflect the views of management at the time such statements are made and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These statements include those regarding the estimated dollar value of the total opportunity in various cardiovascular product segments, the number of physicians trained annually at our in-house facility and off-site workshops, estimates regarding CryoLife’s total addressable market and the addressable market for each of its products and services, and potential growth of CryoLife’s total addressable market and the addressable market for each of its products and services by 2015, the potential for U.S. approval of PerClot and BioFoam to expand CryoLife’s total addressable market by $1.5 billion by 2015, the anticipated timing of U.S. approval for PerClot and BioFoam, growth estimates for the worldwide market for PerClot, plans regarding strategic growth objectives and the potential benefits of these growth objectives, including revenue growth, expansion of gross margins and improved profitability, plans to invest strong cash flow into R&D and clinical trials, the ability of CryoLife’s direct sales team to further penetrate the cardiac and vascular surgeon market, expected benefits of the Cardiogenesis acquisition, expectations regarding the addressable worldwide market for the Cardiogenesis Phoenix Intramyocardial Delivery System in 2015, anticipated timing of a European study and U.S. clinical trials for the next generation Phoenix Intramyocardial Delivery System, expectations regarding the worldwide heart valve market and the TAVI market, the long-term benefits of ValveXchange’s heart valve replacement technology, expected timing for the launch of various products and related regulatory approvals, and annual revenue projections for CryoLife. Those risks and uncertainties that could cause the events addressed in these forward-looking statements not to occur as expected include that estimates regarding the worldwide addressable market for various products and services, as well as all of CryoLife’s products and services in the aggregate, may not be correct and could be impacted by regulatory issues, the introduction of competing products and services into the market, the changing preferences and needs of patients and their physicians, and the ability of CryoLife to successfully market and distribute its products and services in multiple countries and jurisdictions. Investors should be particularly cautious with respect to projections beyond fiscal 2012, as longer-term estimates are more difficult to forecast with accuracy and general economic conditions and the market for CryoLife’s products and services may change substantially. The number of physicians trained annually at CryoLife’s in-house facility and off-site workshops may change and past attendance at these training sessions may not be indicative of future attendance. Also, there may not be a strong future correlation between current relationships with physicians and attendance at CryoLife-sponsored workshops and revenue ultimately generated by CryoLife products and services. Estimates regarding the timing of regulatory approvals for CryoLife products are subject to factors beyond CryoLife’s control and CryoLife may not be able to obtain the necessary approvals in a timely or cost-efficient manner, if at all. Plans regarding CryoLife’s strategic growth objectives and its use of cash are subject to change based on the various business needs of the Company. Management may choose to allocate its assets in ways that are currently unanticipated and there is no guarantee that CryoLife will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions or invest in R&D and clinical trials. Current plans with respect to growth opportunities are subject to change, and management may ultimately determine that there are better uses for our cash based on numerous factors.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT - continued
Any business development efforts and/or R&D investments are subject to delays, cost overages and regulatory difficulties, and efforts to fully integrate future acquisitions and new product offerings into our business, or efforts relating to R&D and clinical trials, may not be successful and can potentially disrupt our normal business activities. CryoLife’s projections regarding annual revenues may be materially impacted by CryoLife’s ability to obtain certain regulatory approvals on a timely basis, its ability to successfully market various products and services in multiple countries and jurisdictions, and changing economic conditions generally. CryoLife has also inherited certain risks and uncertainties related to its recent acquisition of Cardiogenesis' business. These risks and uncertainties include that CryoLife's ability to maintain revenues and achieve growth in revenues from Cardiogenesis’ revascularization technology in the future is dependent upon physician awareness of this technology as a safe, efficacious, and appropriate treatment for their patients, CryoLife may not be able to successfully market Cardiogenesis' revascularization technology if third party reimbursement for the procedures performed with this technology is not available for its health care provider customers, if suppliers or manufacturers with respect to Cardiogenesis products fail to comply with ongoing FDA or other foreign regulatory authority requirements, CryoLife's Cardiogenesis business may be negatively impacted, third-party distributors or CryoLife's own distributors may not effectively distribute Cardiogenesis products, CryoLife's international operations with respect to Cardiogenesis subject it to certain operating risks, which could adversely impact its net sales, results of operations and financial condition, Cardiogenesis has been named as a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit and costly litigation may be necessary to protect or defend its intellectual property rights, and Cardiogenesis' internal controls over financial reporting may not have been effective prior to the merger, which could have a significant and adverse effect on CryoLife. These risks and uncertainties related to Cardiogenesis' business that CryoLife has inherited also include the risk factors detailed in Cardiogenesis' Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including its Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2010, and Cardiogenesis' other SEC filings. Our anticipated future performance, including revenue projections, is subject to the general risks associated with our business, including that we are significantly dependent on our revenues from BioGlue and are subject to a variety of risks affecting this product, including that a German Patent Court has nullified our main BioGlue patent in Germany, and if the ruling is upheld on appeal, we would be prevented from suing to prevent third parties from infringing the main BioGlue patent in Germany, the integration of Cardiogenesis’ business into our business may be slower than expected or unsuccessful, and our revenues and operating expenses may be materially adversely impacted as a result, we are subject to stringent domestic and foreign regulation which may impede the approval process of our tissues and products, hinder our development activities and manufacturing processes, and, in some cases, result in the recall or seizure of previously cleared or approved tissues and products, our liquidity and earnings may be impacted by our substantial investment in our distribution and license and manufacturing agreements with SMI, and we may not fully realize the benefit of our investment in future years unless we are able to obtain FDA approval for PerClot in the U.S., which will require an additional commitment of funds, the FDA rejected our initial IDE application for PerClot and we are working to address its concerns, but there is no guarantee that we can do so on a timely or cost efficient basis, if at all, uncertainties related to patents and protection of proprietary technology may adversely affect the value of our intellectual property, we are involved in significant litigation with Medafor and that litigation cost may have a material adverse impact on our profitability |

These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors detailed in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and subsequent SEC filings. CryoLife does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
