      Item 7(b) Pro Forma Information

      Haemonetics Corporation Combined Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
      --------------------------------------------------------------
Information
-----------

      Haemonetics Corporation ("Haemonetics") completed its acquisition of
Transfusion Technologies Corporation ("Transfusion") on September 18, 2000.
Upon effectiveness of the Merger on September 15, 2000, Transfusion became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics. The transaction is being accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under
the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.
The estimated fair values included herein are based on preliminary estimates
and may not be indicative of the final allocation of purchase price
consideration.

      The following unaudited adjusted pro forma statements of operations
for the year and six months ended April 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000,
respectively, include the effect of the acquisition, as if the acquisition
had occurred at the beginning of each reporting period after giving effect
to certain adjustments including adjustments to reflect reductions in
depreciation expense, increases in intangible and goodwill amortization
expense, lost interest income and tax provision adjustments.

      The pro forma statements of operations are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations that would have occurred if Haemonetics and
Transfusion had been combined during such periods. The pro forma statements
are not intended to be indicative of the results of operations to be
attained from the combined company in the future.

      The adjusted pro forma financial statements of operations do not give
effect to (a) the efficiencies that may be obtained by combining the
operations of Haemonetics and Transfusion, (b) the in-process research and
development charge, (See Note 2(e) for a detailed description) and (c) the
cost to equity adjustment. (See Note 2(d) for a detailed description.) In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly such
adjusted historical statement of operations have been made.

      The pro forma financial statements are based on and should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto of Haemonetics which are included in the Haemonetics Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
ended April 1, 2000 and the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto of Haemonetics which are included in the Haemonetics Second Quarter
Report of Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
six months ended September 30, 2000.

             Notes to Haemonetics Corporation Combined Unaudited
                       Pro Forma Financial Information

      (1)   The Acquisition

      On September 18, 2000, Haemonetics completed the acquisition of
Transfusion pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") dated September 4, 2000 among Haemonetics, Transfusion,
Transfusion Merger Co., the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of
Preferred and Common Stock of Transfusion and certain principals of
Transfusion. The acquisition was effected in the form of a merger (the
"Merger") of Transfusion Merger Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Haemonetics, with and into Transfusion. The Merger became effective
September 15, 2000. Transfusion was the surviving corporation in the
Merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics.

      Transfusion designs, develops and markets systems for the processing
of human blood for transfusion to patients. Its systems are based on
centrifuge technology called the Dynamic Disk TM and consist of sterile,
single-use disposable sets and computer controlled electromechanical
devices that control the blood processing procedure.  The systems have
applications in both autotransfusion and blood component collection
technologies.

      The aggregate purchase price, before transaction costs and cash
acquired, of approximately $50.1 is comprised of $36.5 million to
Transfusion's common and preferred stockholders, and warrant and option
holders, and $13.6 million, representing the value assigned to Haemonetics'
19.8% preferred stock investment in Transfusion made in November 1999. The
cash required to purchase the remaining 80.2% interest in Transfusion, was
$26.6, net of cash acquired and without transaction costs.

      The amount of consideration paid by Haemonetics was determined
through arms-length negotiation between Haemonetics and Transfusion. Except
for a 19.8% ownership interest in Transfusion as a result of the
acquisition by Haemonetics in November 1999 of shares of Transfusion
preferred stock, there was no material relationship between Transfusion or
its stockholders and Haemonetics or any of its affiliates, directors or
officers, or any associate of a director or officer of Haemonetics. When
Haemonetics purchased preferred stock in Transfusion in November 1999, it
became the exclusive distributor of Transfusion's OrthoPAT autotransfusion
system outside North America.

      Haemonetics funded the cash consideration paid through working
capital sources.

      (2)   Reclassifications

      These columns represent the historical results of operation and
financial position of Transfusion as of the respective reporting period.
Certain reclassifications were made to conform Transfusion financial
statements to those of Haemonetics Corporation.

      (3)   Pro Forma Adjustments

      (a)   To record the incremental goodwill amortization created by the
            acquisition. Goodwill is amortized over a 20 year life.

      (b)   To adjust the depreciation expense recorded by Transfusion as a
            result of the reduction to fair market value of its assets at
            acquisition and depreciable lives.

      (c)   To reduce the interest income recorded during the reporting
            period by Haemonetics' assuming the cash paid for Transfusion
            would have been disbursed at the beginning of the reporting
            period.

      (d)   To reverse the effect on operating earnings of the cost to
            equity adjustment. This adjustment is required by generally
            accepted accounting principles to

<PAGE>  7

            modify the 19.8% investment of Transfusion by Haemonetics in
            November of fiscal year 2000 from the cost method to the equity
            method of accounting.  To effect this change, the historic cost
            of the 19.8% investment made by Haemonetics' was written down by
            its 19.8% share of the monthly losses incurred by Transfusion
            from November of fiscal year 2000.

      (e)   To remove the effect of the In-Process Research and Development
            (IPR&D) charge given its non-recurring nature. This charge
            represents purchased in-process technology that had not yet
            reached technical feasibility and had no alternative future use
            as of the date of the acquisition. For the twelve months ended
            April 1, 2000, $2.9 million of the IPR&D charge was included as
            an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operation as restated
            for the 19.8% original investment made by Haemonetics in November
            of fiscal year 2000. For the six months ended September 30, 2000,
            $18.6 million of the IPR&D charge was recorded as an expense in
            the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

      (f)   To reflect the tax benefit of the Transfusion operating loss
            for the period using Haemonetics' statutory rate. IPR&D and
            goodwill resulting from the acquisition are nondeductible for tax
            accounting purposes.

      (4)   Cost to Equity Adjustment

      The Company was required by generally accepted accounting principles
to modify its 19.8% investment in Transfusion by Haemonetics in November of
fiscal year 2000 from the cost method to the equity method of accounting.
To effect this change, the historic cost of the 19.8% investment made by
Haemonetics' was written down by its 19.8% share of the monthly losses
incurred by Transfusion Technologies from November of fiscal year 2000.

      (5)   Purchase Price Allocation

      The Transfusion Technologies merger was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the
accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operation for the six
months ended September 30, 2000 includes Transfusion's results of
operations commencing on the date of acquisition. The purchase price was
allocated to the net assets acquired based on the Company's estimates of
fair value at the acquisition date. For certain assets acquired in
property, plant and equipment,

<PAGE>  8

representing Transfusion's equipment placed at customer locations, net book
value was used as a proxy for fair market value. The allocation of the
purchase price is still subject to adjustment upon final valuation of certain
 acquired assets and liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair market value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill in
the amount of $2.8 million. The goodwill is being amortized over 20 years.


      The preliminary allocation of the purchase price over the fair market
value of the assets acquired is as follows:
