                         CRYOLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with (i) accounting  principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim  financial  information  and (ii) the  instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information  and footnotes  required by accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in the United  States for  complete  financial  presentations.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Certain prior
year  balances  have been  reclassified  to  conform  to the 2001  presentation.
Operating  results  for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2001 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the CryoLife,  Inc.  ("CryoLife" or the
"Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS

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.  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.
The  amortized  cost of debt  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  is
adjusted for  amortization  of premiums and  accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such  amortization is included in investment  income.  Realized gains and losses
and  declines in value judged to be other than  temporary on  available-for-sale
securities  are included in investment  income.  The cost of securities  sold is
based  on  the  specific   identification  method.  Interest  and  dividends  on
securities classified as available-for-sale  are included in interest income. At
June 30, 2001 all marketable  equity  securities and debt securities held by the
Company were designated as available-for-sale.

Total gross realized gains on sales of  available-for-sale  securities were zero
for the three month and six month  periods  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.  As of
June 30, 2001  differences  between cost and market of a $1.1 million loss (less
deferred  taxes of $366,000) were included in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income.

At June 30, 2001 and  December  31,  2000,  approximately  $9.3 million and $4.9
million, respectively, of debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or
less at their acquisition  dates were included in cash and cash equivalents.  At
June 30,  2001 and  December  31,  2000,  approximately  $11.7  million and $8.3
million of investments,  respectively,  matured within 90 days, $3.0 million and
zero investments,  respectively,  had a maturity date between 90 days and 1 year
and approximately $16.0 million and $21.2 million of investments,  respectively,
matured in more than one year.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

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.  A
commitment  fee of  $20,000  was paid  when the  Company  entered  into the loan
agreement.  Borrowings  under  the  line of  credit  accrued  interest  equal to
Adjusted LIBOR plus 2% 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%. The Term Loan contains certain restrictive
covenants including, but not limited to, maintenance of certain financial ratios
and a minimum  tangible net worth  requirement,  and is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES

On  January  1, 2001 the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  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 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 in 2001,  the Company  recorded a pre-tax  unrealized
loss of  approximately  $175,000  related to an  interest  rate swap,  which was
recorded as part of long-term  liabilities and accumulated  other  comprehensive
income. The interest rate swap is described below. The  reclassification  of any
gains or losses  associated  with the interest  rate swap into the  consolidated
income  statement is anticipated to occur upon the various maturity dates of the
interest rate swap agreement, which expires in 2006.

The  Company's  Term Loan accrues  interest at a variable rate based on Adjusted
LIBOR. This exposes the Company to ongoing interest rate fluctuations.  On March
16,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into a  forward-starting  interest  rate swap
agreement with a notional amount of $4 million.  This swap agreement took effect
on  June  1,  2001.  The  agreement  was  designated  as a cash  flow  hedge  to
effectively convert a portion of the $8 million Term Loan principle 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 interest amounts in
exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without
an exchange of the underlying  principal  amounts.  The  differential is paid or
received monthly, and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.


NOTE 7 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive  income includes  unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of
certain  derivative  instruments,   which  qualify  for  hedge  accounting.  The
following  is a  reconciliation  of  net  income  to  comprehensive  income  (in
thousands):

NOTE 8 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 141, "Business  Combinations" ("SFAS 141"),
which is effective July 1, 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which is effective
for the  Company on January 1,  2002.  SFAS 141  prohibits  pooling-of-interests
accounting for acquisitions.  SFAS 142 specifies that goodwill and certain other
intangible  assets will no longer be  amortized  but instead  will be subject to
periodic  impairment  testing.  The Company is in the process of evaluating  the
financial statement impact of adoption of SFAS- 142.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Results of Operations

Revenues increased 12% to $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001
from $19.5 million for the same period in 2000.  Revenues increased 10% to $43.1
million for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 from $39.1  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in revenues for the three month and six
month  periods  ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to growth in the Company's
human vascular and connective tissue  cryopreservation  businesses and increased
sales of BioGlue surgical  adhesive,  partially offset by the elimination of IFM
sales due to the sale of the  remaining  assets of IFM and a  decrease  in heart
valve revenues.

Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation  services decreased
5% to $7.2  million for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from $7.6 million
for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000,   representing   33%  and  39%,
respectively,  of total  revenues  during each such period.  Revenues from human
heart valve and conduit cryopreservation  services decreased 7% to $14.1 million
for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 from $15.2  million  for the six months
ended June 30, 2000,  representing 33% and 39%, respectively,  of total revenues
during each such  period.  The  decrease in revenues for the three month and six
month  periods  ended  June 30,  2001 was due to a  decrease  in the  number  of
allograft heart valve shipments of 5% and 9%, respectively, due to a decrease in
procurement of hearts year to year, partially offset by higher fees received for
SynerGraft treated human heart valves.

Revenues from human vascular tissue  cryopreservation  services increased 10% to
$6.0  million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $5.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 28% of total revenues during each
such period.  Revenues  from human  vascular  tissue  cryopreservation  services
increased 12% to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $11.1
million  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  representing  29% and 28%,
respectively,  of total  revenues  during  each such  period.  The  increase  in
revenues for the three month and six month  periods  ended June 30, 2001 was due
to an  increase  in the number of vascular  allograft  shipments  of 9% and 12%,
respectively.  The increase in shipments  during these periods was primarily due
to the Company's  ability to procure  greater  amounts of tissue,  and due to an
increase  in demand for  saphenous  vein  composite  grafts and  femoral  artery
grafts.

Revenues from human  connective  tissue for the knee  cryopreservation  services
increased 42% to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $3.9
million for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,  representing  26% and 20%,
respectively,  of total  revenues  during each such period.  Revenues from human
connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation  services increased 38% to $10.8
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 from $7.8  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  representing  25% and 20%,  respectively,  of total
revenues during each such period.  This increase in revenues for the three month
and six month  periods  ended June 30, 2001 was  primarily due to an increase in
the number of allograft shipments of 32% and 29%, respectively,  price increases
for  cryopreservation  services in domestic  and  Canadian  markets,  and a more
favorable  product mix. The increase in shipments of  osteoarticular  grafts and
non-bone  tendons  during  these  periods  was  primarily  due to the  Company's
continuing  strong  orthopaedic   allograft  tissue  procurement,   and  due  to
increasing acceptance of these tissues in the orthopaedic surgeon community.

Revenues  from the  sale of  BioGlue  surgical  adhesive  increased  76% to $2.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.5 million for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000,  representing  12% and 8%,  respectively,  of total
revenues  during each such period.  Revenues  from the sale of BioGlue  surgical
adhesive  increased  94% to $5.1  million for the six months ended June 30, 2001
from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,  representing  12% and
7%,  respectively,  of total revenues  during each such period.  The increase in
revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 is due to
an increase in the milliliters of BioGlue shipped of 70% and 79%,  respectively.
The increase in shipments was primarily due to increasing  acceptance of BioGlue
in  international  markets  for  use in  vascular  and  pulmonary  repairs,  and


                                       8


increased  acceptance  domestically  following the January 2000  introduction of
BioGlue pursuant to a Humanitarian  Use Device  Exemption  ("HDE") for use as an
adjunct in the repair of acute thoracic aortic dissections.

Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices decreased 19% to $158,000 for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from  $196,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  2000,  representing  1% of total  revenues  during  each such  period.
Revenues from bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices decreased 16% to $356,000 for
the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from  $423,000 for the six months ended June
30,  2000,  representing  1% of total  revenues  during each such  period.  This
decrease in revenues is primarily due to the Company's  focus on the start-up of
the SynerGraft  bioprosthetic heart valve manufacturing process, which adversely
impacted its ability to manufacture other bioprosthetic cardiovascular devices.

Revenues  from IFM  decreased  to zero in the three month and six month  periods
ended June 30, 2001 from $608,000 and $1.7 million,  respectively, for the three
month and six month  periods  ended June 30,  2000.  The  decrease is due to the
October 9, 2000 sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of IFM to HMP.

Grant  revenues  decreased  to $143,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001
from $149,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Grant revenues increased
to $368,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from  $291,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.  Grant  revenues are primarily  attributable  to the
SynerGraft research and development programs.

Cost of cryopreservation  services and products aggregated increased 10% to $9.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $8.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000,  representing  42% and 43%,  respectively,  of total
cryopreservation  and product revenues for each period. Cost of cryopreservation
services  and  products  aggregated  increased  4% to $18.2  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from $17.5  million for the six months ended June 30,
2000,  representing 43% and 45%,  respectively,  of total  cryopreservation  and
product   revenues  for  each   period.   The  decrease  in  the  2001  cost  of
cryopreservation  services and products as a percentage of revenues is due to an
increase in revenues from BioGlue surgical adhesive,  which carries higher gross
margins than  cryopreservation  services,  as well as the termination of the IFM
OEM contract with HMP, which had significantly  lower margins than the Company's
core businesses.

General, administrative, and marketing expenses increased 9% to $8.1 million for
the three  months  ended June 30,  2001,  compared to $7.4 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000,  representing  38% of total  cryopreservation  and
product revenues during each such period. General, administrative, and marketing
expenses  increased 12% to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
compared to $14.5  million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,  representing
38% and 37%, respectively, of total cryopreservation and product revenues during
each such period.  The increase in expenditures  for the three months ended June
30, 2001 was primarily  due to an increase in marketing and general  expenses to
support  revenue growth.  The increase in expenditures  for the six month period
ended June 30, 2001 was  primarily  due to the  inclusion  of six full months of
operations  of  CryoLife  Europa,  Ltd.,  the  Company's  European  headquarters
established  in early  2000,  and due to an increase  in  marketing  and general
expenses to support revenue growth.

Research and  development  expenses  increased 10% to $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001,  compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000,  representing 6% of total  cryopreservation  and product revenues
for each such period.  Research and  development  expenses  decreased 5% to $2.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $2.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000,  representing 6% of total  cryopreservation  and
product revenues for each such 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 SynerGraft and BioGlue technologies.

Interest  income,  net of interest  expense,  was  $560,000 and $314,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income, net of
interest  expense,  was $1.1  million and $626,000 for the six months ended June
30,  2001 and 2000,  respectively.  This  increase  in  interest  income was due
primarily to the increase in cash  generated  from  operations  during the three
month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended  December 31,
2000.



                                       9


The effective income tax rate was 32% and 33% for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

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 this trend for human heart valve and conduit
cryopreservation  services  is  primarily  due to the high  number of  surgeries
scheduled during the summer months.  However, the demand for the Company's human
connective tissue for the knee cryopreservation  services, human vascular tissue
cryopreservation  services,  bioprosthetic  cardiovascular  devices, and BioGlue
surgical adhesive does not appear to experience seasonal trends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2001, net working capital was $67.4 million, with a current ratio of
6 to 1,  compared to $68.4 million at December 31, 2000.  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.  The Company  historically has funded these  requirements
through  bank  credit  facilities,  cash  generated  by  operations  and  equity
offerings.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $4.3 million for the six months
ended June 30,  2001,  as compared to $5.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000.  This  decrease in cash  provided was  primarily due to an increase in
working capital  requirements  due to sales growth,  expansion of product lines,
and  construction  on the Company's  corporate  headquarters  and  manufacturing
facilities,  largely offset by an increase in net income before depreciation and
taxes.

Net cash used in investing  activities was $6.4 million for the six months ended
June 30,  2001,  as compared to $3.5  million for the six months  ended June 30,
2000.  This  increase in cash used was  primarily  due to an increase in capital
expenditures  related to the expansion and renovation of the Company's corporate
headquarters and  manufacturing  facilities,  partially offset by an increase in
proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable  securities,  net of purchases,
and by the proceeds from the Company's note receivable.

Net cash  provided by financing  activities  was $1.5 million for the six months
ended June 30,  2001,  as compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This increase was primarily  attributable to proceeds from issuance of
debt  under the Term Loan of $1.2  million in the  current  year and the lack of
treasury stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the prior year period,  partially  offset by  principle  payments on the Term
Loan and a decrease in proceeds from stock option exercises.

In June 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 141, "Business  Combinations" ("SFAS 141"),
which is effective July 1, 2001, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), which is effective
for the  Company on January 1,  2002.  SFAS 141  prohibits  pooling-of-interests
accounting  for  acquisitions.   SFAS  142  specifies  that  goodwill  and  some
intangible  assets will no longer be  amortized  but instead  will be subject to
periodic  impairment  testing.  The Company is in the process of evaluating  the
financial statement impact of adoption of SFAS- 142.

Since  October  1998,  management  has been  seeking to enter  into a  corporate
collaboration  or to  complete  a  potential  private  placement  of  equity  or
equity-oriented  securities to fund the commercial development of its Activation
Control Technology ("ACT") technology. This technology is now held by CryoLife's
wholly owned  subsidiary  AuraZyme  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  which was formed on
March 13, 2001. This strategy, if successful, will allow an affiliated entity to


                                       10


fund the ACT  technology and should  expedite the commercial  development of its
oncology,  blood clot  dissolving  and  surgical  sealant  product  applications
without additional  research and development  expenditures by the Company (other
than  through the  affiliated  company).  This  strategy,  if  successful,  will
favorably impact the Company's liquidity going forward.

The Company  anticipates  that  current  cash and  marketable  securities,  cash
generated  from  operations  and its $10  million of bank  facilities  (of which
approximately  $8 million was drawn as of August 9, 2001) will be  sufficient to
meet its  operating  and  development  needs  for at least  the next 12  months,
including the expansion and renovation of the Company's  corporate  headquarters
and  manufacturing  facilities.  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  U.S.  Food  and  Drug
Administration  ("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 for any additional  expansion of its corporate  headquarters
and  manufacturing  facilities,  and the extent to which the Company's  products
generate  market  acceptance  and demand.  There can be no assurance 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  could  have a  material
adverse effect on the Company's business,  financial  condition,  and results of
operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 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 $10.2
million and short-term  investments in municipal obligations of $12.7 million as
of June 30,  2001 as well as  interest  paid on its debt.  At  August  9,  2001,
approximately  $4 million of the Company's  debt charged  interest at a variable
rate. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company
generally  maintains a portion  (approximately  $8 million at August 9, 2001) of
its debt as fixed rate in nature. As a result,  the Company is also subject to a
risk  that  interest  rates  will  decrease  and the  Company  may be  unable to
refinance its debt.
