ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On October 1, 1998, Arterial Vascular Engineering, Inc. (the "Company")
announced  the  closing of its  previously  announced  agreement  to acquire the
coronary catheter lab business (the "Business") of C. R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard"), as
well as rights to the supply by Bard of  certain  materials,  for  approximately
$550 million in cash,  subject to adjustment.  The transaction was structured as
an  acquisition  of the assets and certain  liabilities  of Bard  related to the
Business   and  the   acquisition   of  stock  of  certain   subsidiaries   (the
"Subsidiaries")  of Bard  engaged in the  Business.  Pursuant to the  definitive
agreement,  AVE did not acquire any cash or accounts  receivable of the Business
in consideration for the $550 million purchase price.  However, AVE did purchase
the trade  accounts  receivable  of the  Subsidiaries  for 95% of the "net" book
value of the  Subsidiaries'  trade  accounts  receivable  as of the closing Date
("net"  meaning  after  deduction  of the amount of the  reserves  for  doubtful
accounts).

         The  acquisition  was  financed  by term  loans  and  revolving  credit
facilities  syndicated  among  various  banks and  financial  institutions.  AVE
expects to incur a  significant  one-time  charge  related  to the  acquisition,
largely in connection with the write-off of in-process  research and development
and restructuring.

                         NOTE TO STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying  unaudited  statements were prepared in accordance with the
rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the C. R. Bard, Inc. (Bard) Cardiology
Division -- Coronary Catheter Lab Products'  financial  statements in accordance
with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  These statements have not been
audited.  Significant  expenses are incurred on a Bard corporate-wide  basis and
benefit  multiple Bard product  groups and any allocation of such expenses would
be  arbitrary  and  potentially  misleading.  Bard  does not  prepare  financial
statements  which are  intended to report a complete  presentation  of financial
position,  results of operations or cash flows of Coronary Catheter Lab Products
in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Accordingly,  the
accompanying  statements of net revenues and certain  expenses do not purport to
present the full operations of Bard Cardiology Division -- Coronary Catheter Lab
Products that would have resulted if it had operated as an independent company.

    On July 9,  1998,  Bard and AVE  entered  into a stock  and  asset  purchase
agreement  whereby  AVE  agreed to buy Bard's  Coronary  Catheter  Lab  Products
business,  as  defined,  for  $550,000,000  subject to  adjustment,  as defined.
Coronary  Catheter  Lab Products  includes  Percutaneous  Transluminac  Coronary
Angioplasty  (PTCA) balloon  catheters,  coronary stents  (excluding  myocardial
stents), saphenous graft stents for coronary applications, PTCA guidewires, PTCA
guide catheters, coronary diagnostic catheters,  coronary introducers,  coronary
diagnostic   guidewires,   femostop,   vessel   closure   devices  for  coronary
applications,  right heart  pressure  monitoring  catheters,  PTCA  accessories,
coronary  angiographic  accessories,  coronary OEM products and related coronary
components  and  accessories.  The LifeMed  product  line sold in  Australia  is
excluded.

    In addition to the domestic  Coronary  Catheter Lab Products' related assets
to b e sold and liabilities to be assumed, the following foreign subsidiaries of
Bard will also be sold to AVE: Bard Japan Limited,  C. R. Bard Ireland  Limited,
Bard Galway Limited,  Milu S.A.,  X-Trode S.r.l. and Bard Connaught and thus are
included in the  accompanying  statement of net assets to be sold.  Net revenues
and certain  expenses,  as defined,  of these  subsidiaries  are included in the
accompanying  statements of net revenues and certain  expenses.  The majority of
business conducted by these subsidiaries relates to Bard's Coronary Catheter Lab
Products business, as defined.

    The  assets  and  liabilities  associated  with the  Coronary  Catheter  Lab
Products  are  components  of  Bard's  Cardiology   Division  and  various  Bard
international business centers. Separate Coronary Catheter Lab Products specific
asset and  liability  accounts are not  maintained.

                                       7.

<PAGE>

Similarly,  the operations associated with the product lines are integrated into
the Bard Cardiology  Division and various Bard  international  business centers.
Foreign  subsidiaries  sell  numerous  Bard  products.   In  addition,   various
international administrative groups including human resources, finance, customer
service and administration support numerous Bard product lines and divisions and
are not being sold as part of the  transaction  and thus,  their costs have been
excluded from the accompanying statements of net revenues and certain expenses.

    The  accompanying  statements of net revenues and certain  expenses  include
cost of sales and direct  product costs related to direct  selling and marketing
activities of the Coronary Catheter Lab Products' business, as defined.

                                       8.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The  following   unaudited  pro  forma  condensed   combined  financial
statements  of AVE give  effect to the Merger and the Bard Cath Lab  Acquisition
applying the purchase  method of accounting.  The unaudited pro forma  condensed
combined  balance  sheet  gives  effect  to  these  transactions  as if they had
occurred on September  30, 1998.  The  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined
statements  of  operations  gives  effect to these  transactions  as if they had
occurred on July 1, 1997.

         For pro forma purposes, (i) AVE's audited consolidated balance sheet as
of  September  30,  1998  has  been  combined  with  World  Medical's  unaudited
consolidated  balance  sheet  as of  September  30,  1998 as if the  Merger  had
occurred on September 30, 1998, (ii) AVE's consolidated  statement of operations
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 has been combined  with World  Medical's
unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the twelve-month period ended
June 30,  1998 as if the  Merger  had  occurred  on July 1,  1997,  (iii)  AVE's
unaudited  condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the  three-month
period ended September 30, 1998 has been combined with World Medical's unaudited
condensed  consolidated  statement of  operations  for the same period as if the
Merger had occurred on July 1, 1997,  (iv) the AVE/World  Medical  unaudited pro
forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 has been combined with the
Bard  Cath Lab  business  unaudited  Statement  of Net  Assets  to be Sold as of
September 30, 1998,  (v), the  AVE/World  Medical  unaudited pro forma  combined
statement of operations for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 1998 has been
combined  with the Bard Cath Lab business  Statement of Net Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the  twelve-month  period ended June 30, 1998 as if the acquisition
had occurred on July 1, 1997, and (vi) the AVE/World Medical unaudited pro forma
combined  statement of operations for the three-month period ended September 30,
1998 has been  combined with the Bard Cath Lab business  unaudited  Statement of
Net Revenues and Certain Expenses for the three-month period ended September 30,
1998  as if the  acquisition  had  occurred  on  July 1,  1997.  The  pro  forma
information is presented for  illustrative  purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative  of the  operating  results  or  financial  position  that would have
occurred if the Merger and the Bard Cath Lab Acquisition had been consummated on
July  1,  1997  or  September  30,  1998,  respectively,  nor is it  necessarily
indicative of future operating results or financial position.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  financial  information has
been  prepared on the basis of  assumptions  described in the notes  thereto and
includes  assumptions  relating to the allocation of the consideration  paid for
the assets and liabilities of World Medical and the Bard Cath Lab business based
on preliminary  estimates of the fair value of such assets and liabilities.  The
actual  allocation of such  consideration  may differ from that reflected in the
unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  combined   financial   information  after  the
completion of independent  valuations and other procedures to be performed.  AVE
does not expect that the final  allocation of the aggregate  purchase  price for
the  Merger  and the Bard Cath Lab  business  will  differ  materially  from the
preliminary  allocations.  In the opinion of AVE, all  adjustments  necessary to
present fairly such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
have been made based on the proposed terms and structure of the Merger.

                                       9.

         These pro forma condensed combined financial  statements should be read
in conjunction  with the historical  consolidated  financial  statements and the
related  notes  thereto of AVE,  included in the Form 10-K,  as  amended,  dated
November 10, 1998,  and the  historical  consolidated  financial  statements and
related notes of World Medical and the Bard Cath Lab  incorporated  by reference
herein.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 -- World Medical Merger

         The unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
reflect the conversion of all of the outstanding  shares of World Medical Common
Stock into approximately  1,182,242 shares of AVE's common stock pursuant to the
Merger. This calculation is based on World Medical's capitalization at September
30, 1998 and assumes an Applicable  Fraction of 0.7936 and the cashless exercise
of the Vector Warrant which will occur at or prior to the Effective Time,  based
upon an assumed  market  price of $34.14 for one share of World  Medical  Common
Stock. The following table illustrates this calculation:

World Medical outstanding shares.....             1,474,240
Applicable fraction..................                0.7936
                                                  ---------
Number of shares.....................             1,169,957

Vector warrant.......................    25,000    
Cashless exercise of warrant.........    (9,520)   
                                         ------
Shares to be issued upon cashless    
exercise.............................    15,480    
Applicable fraction..................    0.7936    
                                         ------
Number of shares.....................                12,285
                                                  ---------
                                                  1,182,242
                                                  =========

         In the cashless exercise,  the Vector Warrant is exchanged for a number
of shares of World  Medical  Common  Stock equal to the value of the warrant (in
the  excess  of the  value  per  share  over the  excess  price per share of the
warrant).

         Certain options and warrants to purchase  approximately  407,550 shares
of World Medical  common stock will be assumed by AVE pursuant to the Merger and
converted  into options to purchase  approximately  323,432 shares of AVE common
stock.  The total cost of the proposed  Merger is estimated to be  approximately
$64 million,  including the fair value of the Holdback  Shares and estimated AVE
transaction  costs  of $2  million,  primarily  financial  advisory,  legal  and
accounting fees.

         Based upon a valuation by management of tangible and intangible assets,
AVE has  allocated  the  total  cost of the  merger  to the net  assets of World
Medical at September 30, 1998.  For accounting  purposes,  the value assigned to
the net assets acquired of World Medical  exceeded the  acquisition  cost of $64
million  (including  transaction  costs). In accordance with paragraph 91 of APB
No. 16, an  allocation  of this  negative  goodwill was  performed to reduce the
values assigned to the noncurrent  assets. The acquisition cost was allocated as
follows:

         Pursuant to  Regulation  S-X,  the  acquired  in-process  research  and

statements of operations. The developed technology and other intangibles will be
amortized over lives ranging from 3 to 15 years.

Note 2 -- Pro Forma Adjustments -- World Medical

         The unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  balance sheet includes the
adjustments  necessary  to give  effect to the Merger as if it had  occurred  on
September  30, 1998 and to reflect the  allocation  of the proposed  acquisition
cost  to  the  fair  value  of  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed as noted above,  including the charge to retained  earnings

                  $344, respectively.

Note 3 -- Acquisition of Bard Cath Lab Business

         The unaudited pro forma condensed  combined  financial  statements give
effect to the  acquisition  of the Bard Cath Lab business.  The  transaction  is
structured  as an  acquisition  of the assets and  certain  liabilities  of Bard
related to, and the acquisition of stock of certain subsidiaries of Bard engaged
in the coronary  catheter lab business and is to be accounted for as a purchase.
Pursuant  to the  agreement,  the  Company  did not acquire any cash or accounts
receivable  of the  Bard  Cath  Lab  business  except  for  the  trade  accounts
receivable of certain  subsidiaries  of Bard. The purchase price is $550 million
plus  95% of  accounts  receivable  of the  subsidiaries  (after  deducting  the
allowance for doubtful  account),  subject to adjustment  based upon the closing
statement of net assets available to be sold.

         The Bard Cath Lab financial statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying  with  the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  for inclusion in filings  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of Arterial Vascular Engineering, Inc. (AVE) and
are not intended to be a complete  presentation  of the C. R. Bard,  Inc. (Bard)
Cardiology Division -- Coronary Catheter Lab Products'  financial  statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Significant expenses
are incurred on a Bard  corporate-wide  basis and benefit  multiple Bard product
groups and any  allocation of such expenses  would be arbitrary and  potentially
misleading.  Bard did not prepare  financial

                                      16.

<PAGE>

statements  which were intended to report a complete  presentation  of financial
position,  results of operations or cash flows of Coronary Catheter Lab Products
in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Accordingly,  the
statements  of net revenues  and certain  expenses do not purport to present the
full  operations of Bard Cardiology  Division -- Coronary  Catheter Lab Products
that would have resulted if it had operated as an independent company.

         The assets and liabilities  associated  with the Coronary  Catheter Lab
Products  are  components  of  Bard's  Cardiology   Division  and  various  Bard
international business centers. Separate Coronary Catheter Lab Products specific
asset and  liability  accounts are not  maintained.  Similarly,  the  operations
associated  with the  product  lines  are  integrated  into the Bard  Cardiology
Division and various Bard international  business centers.  Foreign subsidiaries
sell numerous Bard products. In addition,  various international  administrative
groups including human resources,  finance,  customer service and administration
support  numerous  Bard product lines and divisions and were not sold as part of
the transaction and thus,  their costs have been excluded from the  accompanying
statements of net revenues and certain expenses.

         Based upon a preliminary  valuation of tangible and intangible  assets,
AVE has allocated the total cost of the  acquisition to the net assets  acquired
of the Bard Cath Lab at September 30, 1998 as follows (in thousands):

Net tangible assets......................................    $ 107,811
In-process research and development......................       97,400
Developed technology.....................................       72,000
Goodwill.................................................      314,040

Liabilities assumed (including the Bard Cath Lab
  transaction costs and other obligations                                   
  due related to the acquisition)........................      (42,951)
                                                             ---------
                                                             $ 550,000
                                                             =========

         Pursuant to  Regulation  S-X,  the  acquired  in-process  research  and
development  has not been  reflected  in the pro forma  combined  statements  of
operations. The developed technology,  goodwill and other intangible assets will
be amortized over lives ranging from 3 to 25 years.

Note 4 -- Pro Forma Adjustments -- Bard Cath Lab Business

         The unaudited pro forma  condensed  combined  balance sheet include the

cost  to  the  fair  value  of  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and
liabilities  assumed,  including the charge to retained  earnings for in-process
technology  acquired and the  elimination of the Bard Cath Lab's equity account.

                  severance  related  costs for  employees of the acquired  Bard
                  Cath Lab that  will not  continue  after  the  acquisition  of
                  approximately  $8,600 and a payable  to Bard of  approximately
                  $14,500 for the acquisition of trade accounts receivable;

         (S)      The  Company  has  entered  into a bank  credit  agreement  to
                  finance the acquisition  comprised of a $200 million five-year
                  term loan  which has  principal  amounts of $7.5  million  due
                  within one year; and $350 million six-year term loan which has
                  principal amounts of $2.6 million due within one year.

         (T)      Charge to  operations  for acquired  in-process  technology of
                  approximately $97,400;

         (U)      Elimination of the Bard Cath Lab net assets account.

         Adjustments  included in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the year ended June 30, 1998 and the three months ended September
30, 1998 are summarized as follows:

         (V)      Amortization of developed technology of approximately  $12,248
                  and $3,062,  respectively,  and of other  acquired  intangible
                  assets including goodwill of $18,452 and $4,490, respectively;

         (W)      Interest  expense  of   approximately   $45,645  and  $11,150,
                  respectively  on  the  $550  million  bank  credit   agreement
                  including amortization of debt issuance costs;

         (X)      Income  tax  benefit  related  to the Bard Cath Lab net income
                  plus the amortization of intangible  assets using an effective
                  tax rate of 40%.

         As  described  further  in  the  Bard  Cath  Lab  historical  financial
statements incorporated by reference herein, Bard acquired Milu S.A. and X-Trode
S.r.l.  in a transaction  which included  future  milestone  payments.  Bard has
contractually  agreed  to  record  an  obligation  related  to  these  milestone
obligations of approximately $9 million in the closing statement of assets to be
sold as of October 1, 1998. The purchase  agreement between the Company and Bard
requires  an  adjustment  upward or downward of the amount by which the net book
value of Bard Cath Lab together  with a  percentage  of certain  trade  accounts
receivable exceeds or is less than a predetermined amount. Because the recording
of this  obligation  at closing will result in a reduction of net assets of Bard
Cath  Lab  and  of the  purchase  price  by the  amount  of the  obligation,  no
adjustment has been reflected in the pro forma financial information.

                                      18.

Note 6

         Pro forma  basic net income per share for the year ended June 30,  1998
and the three  months  ended  September  30,  1998 is based upon the  historical
weighted average number of AVE common shares outstanding adjusted to reflect the
issuance, as of July 1, 1997 and 1998, respectively,  of approximately 1,065,000
shares of AVE common stock for the  acquisition of World  Medical,  which amount
excludes the contingently  issuable  Holdback Shares in accordance with SFAS No.
128. The  contingently  issuable  Holdback Shares represent shares of AVE common
stock that AVE will maintain in escrow to secure World Medical's indemnification
obligations  as defined in the Agreement  and Plan of Merger and  Reorganization
dated April 10,  1998,  between  AVE and World  Medical.  Pro forma  diluted net
income  per share for the year ended June 30,  1998 and the three  months  ended
September  30, 1998 is based upon shares  used in the  calculation  of pro forma
basic net income per share plus (i) the dilutive  effect of AVE's stock  options
and other dilutive  securities  calculated using the treasury stock method, (ii)
the Holdback  Shares  (totaling  approximately  119,000  shares),  and (iii) the
dilutive  effect,  calculated  using the treasury  stock method,  of options and
warrants to purchase  approximately 407,550 shares of World Medical common stock
which will be assumed by AVE pursuant to the Merger and  converted  into options
or warrants to purchase approximately 323,432 shares of AVE common stock.
