                 The accompanying notes are an integral part
                  of the consolidated financial statements.


                    TRANSFUSION TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Nature of Business and Segment Information:
      ------------------------------------------

      Transfusion Technologies Corporation (the "Company"), which began
      operations on May 19, 1993, is engaged in principally one operating
      segment, the design and development of devices for the processing of
      human blood for transfusion to patients. In March 1998, the Company
      commenced product sales. The Company has incurred losses since
      inception and has an accumulated deficit, which has been funded by
      issuing equity securities. The Company believes that it will be able
      to raise the additional financing required to permit the investment
      in equipment, materials and resources necessary to develop a viable
      operation. However, there can be no assurance that such financing
      will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company.

      The Company is subject to risks common to companies at its stage of
      development and in its industry including, but not limited to,
      technological innovation, dependence on key personnel, protection of
      proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations,
      uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability and
      the need to obtain financing.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
      ------------------------------------------

      Principles of Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
      Transfusion Technologies Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary,
      Transfusion Technologies GmbH. Intercompany accounts and transactions
      have been eliminated in consolidation.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining
      maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be
      cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market
      accounts and are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

<PAGE>  15

      Revenue Recognition

      Revenues are derived principally from disposable product sales, which
      are recognized upon shipment. Product instruments placed with
      customers under agreements to purchase disposables are capitalized as
      property and equipment. (See Property and Equipment below and in Note
      3) Revenues from product instruments sold are recognized upon
      shipment. The Company provides for the costs of warranty based on
      product instruments sold.

      Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
      and Significant Customers

      Cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable are financial
      instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit
      risk. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, substantially all cash and cash
      equivalents were invested in a single money market mutual fund. With
      short maturities and a geographic diversity of customers, the Company
      believes that the carrying value of trade accounts receivable
      approximates fair value and concentration of credit risk is limited.
      As of December 31, 1999, one customer accounted for 16% of accounts
      receivable.

      Comprehensive Income

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting
      Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").

      This Statement requires disclosure of comprehensive income, as defined,
      and its components in financial statements. Components of comprehensive
      income include any changes in equity during a period that are not the
      result of transactions with owners which includes cumulative foreign
      currency translation adjustments for the Company. The Company adopted
      SFAS 130 during the year ended December 31, 1999.

      Inventories

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
      determined on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories at December
      31, 1999 and 1998 consist of:

</TABLE>

      Property and Equipment

<PAGE>  16

      Property and equipment are stated at cost and include product
      instruments employed for usage, loan, demonstration or evaluation by
      customers. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
      over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to
      five years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are
      amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated
      useful lives. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to
      expense as incurred. Costs of major additions and betterments are
      capitalized and tooling costs that have a useful life exceeding one
      year are capitalized. On disposal, the related cost and accumulated
      depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain
      or loss is included in the statement of operations.

      Research and Development Costs

      Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

      Foreign Currency Translation

      Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated into
      U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Resulting cumulative
      translation adjustments are reflected as accumulated other
      comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Income and expense items
      are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
      Gains and losses that result from transactions in foreign currencies,
      which have not been material, are included in the consolidated
      statement of operations.

      Income Taxes

      The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
      Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
      reflect the impact of temporary timing differences between amounts of
      assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such
      amounts as measured by tax laws. A valuation allowance is required to
      offset any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available
      evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred
      tax assets will not be realized.

      Stock-Based Compensation

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation," ("FAS 123"), encourages, but does not
      require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based
      employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to
      continue to account for employee stock-based compensation using the
      intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
      Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
      related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock
      options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of
      the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over
      the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

<PAGE>  17

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
      and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
      financial statements and related notes. Changes in such estimates and
      assumptions may affect amounts reported in future periods.

      Reclassifications

      Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been
      reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

3.    Property and Equipment:
      ----------------------

      Property and equipment at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of:

4.    Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity:
      ---------------------------------------------------

      Common Stock

      In November of 1999, the Company increased the authorized common
      stock to 7,000,000 shares of which 628,101 are issued and outstanding
      at December 31, 1999. Of the remaining authorized shares, 5,409,340
      shares are reserved for the conversion of the six series of preferred
      stock and related preferred stock warrants outstanding, and 890,644
      are reserved pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan.

      Dividends may be declared and paid on common stock at the discretion
      of the Company's Board of Directors. Each share of common stock is
      entitled to one vote on all matters presented to the stockholders.

      Preferred Stock

      The Company has six series of mandatorily redeemable noncumulative
      convertible preferred stock, Series A, B, C, D, E and F. In
      conjunction with the Series E/F offering, the total number of
      preferred shares authorized was increased to 5,500,000 of which
      5,409,340 have been designated into certain classes of preferred
      stock and there are 5,215,811 shares issued and outstanding at a par
      value of $.01, as further described below.

      On May 19, 1993, the founders of the Company purchased 100,000 shares
      of the Company's common stock for $100,000 in connection with the
      Company's formation. On December 1, 1993, the founders of the Company
      purchased an additional 265,000 shares of the Company's common stock
      for $265,000.  On March 25, 1994, all of the 365,000 shares of common
      stock then outstanding were converted to Series A convertible
      preferred stock at $1.00 per share.

      On August 9, 1994, the Company issued 573,333 shares of Series B
      mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock at $6.00 per share
      resulting in proceeds to the Company of $3,230,678, net of issuance
      costs. On October 16, 1995, the Company issued 1,117,690 shares of
      Series C mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock at $9.00
      per share resulting in proceeds to the Company of $9,875,071, net of
      issuance costs. On July 7, 1997, the Company issued 1,439,729 shares
      of Series D mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock at
      $11.25 per share resulting in proceeds to the Company of $16,106,830,
      net of issuance costs. In conjunction with the Series D offering, the
      rights of the Series A preferred shareholders were amended to include
      liquidation and redemption provisions similar to those of the Series
      B and C shareholders. On November 8, 1999, the Company issued 555,111
      shares of Series E mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock
      at $11.25 per share and 1,155,624 shares of Series F mandatorily
      redeemable convertible preferred stock at $11.25. (See Note 5)

<PAGE>  19

      Each share of preferred stock is convertible into common stock at the
      option of the shareholder, and the conversion rate is determined by
      dividing the purchase price of the preferred stock by the "conversion
      price." Initially, the "conversion price" will be equal to the
      original purchase price, but is subject to adjustment for events such
      as a stock split, stock dividend, or an issuance of stock at a price
      less than the applicable conversion price in effect. At December 31,
      1999, the conversion rate was one share of common stock for one share
      of preferred stock. Mandatory conversion is required under certain
      circumstances such as an initial public offering at an offering price
      per share of at least $22.50 and minimum aggregate proceeds of
      $25,000,000.

      Each share of preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes
      equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares
      of preferred stock could be converted.

      In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
      Company, the shareholders of each of the preferred series are
      entitled to a liquidation preference over the Company's common stock.
      The liquidation preference equals the original issuance price plus
      any declared and unpaid dividends. No dividends have been declared as
      of December 31, 1999.

      The holders of each share of preferred stock shall be entitled to
      receive dividends in cash, stock or otherwise, if, when, and as
      declared by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to any
      distributions to holders of common stock.

      The holders of Series A, B, C, D, E and F mandatorily redeemable
      convertible preferred stock collectively, and the holders of Series D
      separately, at the option of the holders of at least a majority of
      the then outstanding shares, have the right to require the Company to
      redeem shares at the "base price" plus all accrued and unpaid
      dividends. The Series B shareholders would also be entitled to all
      accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the rate of 5% of the "base
      price" per annum compounded annually. The "base price" is initially
      set at the original purchase price for each series of preferred
      stock, but is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations,
      and reclassifications. The mandatory redemption expires on June 1,
      2004. If voted upon prior to this expiration date, the Company will
      redeem the shares in four equal annual installments commencing on
      August 31, 2004.

      Equity Incentive Plan

      In June 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the
      "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan is administered by a Committee
      of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"), and allows for
      the granting of awards in the form of incentive stock options,
      nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted
      stock to eligible employees and consultants of the Company. During
      1999, shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares that
      may be issued pursuant

<PAGE>  20

      to the Incentive Plan from 536,940 to 1,036,940. Awards granted under
      the plan are subject to terms and conditions as determined by the
      Committee, except that no incentive stock options may be issued at less
      than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant or
      have a term in excess of ten years. Awards are normally fully
      exercisable at the date of grant. Upon exercise, the Company issues
      restricted shares which generally vest at 2% per month commencing with
      the date of grant or six months thereafter, and are subject to
      disposition restrictions, limitations on transfers and the Company's
      right to buy back unvested shares. At December 31, 1999, 140,189 shares
      were available for the granting of future awards.

      At December 31, 1999, options outstanding had exercise prices ranging

      life of 9.0 years, and options vested had exercise prices ranging
      from $0.90 to $1.13 with a weighted average contractual life of 7.6
      years.

      Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation been
      determined based on the fair value at the date of grant as prescribed
      by FAS 123, the Company's pro-forma net loss would not have been
      materially impacted in any of the years reported. For these pro-forma
      calculations, the following weighted average assumptions were used:
      (1) expected option life of five years; (2) expected dividend yield
      of zero; (3) expected volatility of zero; and (4) risk free rates of
      return of 5.3%, 5.4%, and 6.1% for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

<PAGE>  22

      Restricted Stock

      Prior to the adoption of the Incentive Plan, the Company granted
      awards of restricted stock to key employees and consultants at the
      fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The
      restricted stock awards entitle the holder to full voting rights, but
      are generally subject to disposition restrictions, limitations on
      transfer, and the Company's right to buy back unvested shares. Prior
      to 1996, 462,000 shares of common stock were issued in this manner,
      of which 2,400 were repurchased in 1996, and 2,800 were repurchased
      in 1998. At December 31, 1999, 456,760 were vested.

      Warrants

      Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 11, 1994, the
      Company granted to an unaffiliated entity warrants to purchase 26,650
      shares of Series B preferred stock at $6.00 per share in exchange
      underwriting services. During 1999, 13,324 shares of Series B
      preferred stock were issued pursuant to the exercise of these
      warrants and 13,326 of these warrants expired. At December 31, 1999,
      no Series B preferred stock warrants remained outstanding.

      Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 16, 1995, the
      Company granted to an unaffiliated entity warrants to purchase 26,667
      shares of Series C preferred stock at $9.00 per share in exchange for
      underwriting services. These warrants may be exercised on or before
      October 16, 2000.

      Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 11, 1994, the
      Company granted warrants to two holders of Series B preferred stock
      to purchase an aggregate of 25,005 shares of common stock at $.60 per
      share. During 1999 and 1997, 16,670 and 8,335 shares of common stock,
      respectively, were issued pursuant to the exercise of these warrants.
      At December 31, 1999, no common stock warrants remained outstanding.

5.    Stock Purchase and Related Agreements:
      -------------------------------------

      On November 8, 1999, the Company issued two series of mandatorily
      redeemable convertible preferred stock under a Series E/F Stock
      Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement"). (See Note 4 for the
      preferred stock terms). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company
      issued 551,111 shares of Series E mandatorily redeemable convertible
      preferred stock ("Series E") to new and current investors for net
      proceeds of $6,035,871. In addition, the Company issued 1,155,624
      shares of Series F mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock
      ("Series F") under the Purchase Agreement and concurrently entered
      into several other agreements, including a Distribution Agreement,
      with Haemonetics Corporation ("Haemonetics") resulting in net
      proceeds to the Company of $14,602,916. Of this total, the Company
      has recorded $12,602,916 as

<PAGE>  23

      Series F preferred stock, and the balance of the proceeds, $2,000,000
      as deferred revenue, which the Company is amortizing to revenue over
      the five-year term of the Distribution Agreement. During 1999, this
      resulted in approximately $67,000 of revenue recognized, and
      approximately $1,933,000 is deferred at December 31, 1999.

6.    Related Party:
      -------------

      As a result of the transaction described in Note 5 above, Haemonetics
      owned 19.8% of all outstanding shares at December 31, 1999 and became
      the Distributor for the Company's OrthoPAT(r) product line outside the
      United States and Canada. Under this relationship, the Company
      shipped Haemonetics $23,000 of products during 1999 of which $2,000
      was recognized in revenues and $21,000 was deferred.

7.    Lease Commitments:
      -----------------

      The Company leases its facility under a noncancelable operating lease
      that expires on January 15, 2003. Under the terms of the lease, the
      Company is required to pay excess operating expenses, which have not
      been significant to date. Future minimum lease payments for the
      respective years ended December 31 are as follows:

<TABLE>

            <S>     <C>
            2000    $183,169
            2001     198,042
            2002     211,461

                    $601,506
                    ========
</TABLE>

      Total rent expense was $164,724, $185,507 and $145,425 for the years
      ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

8.    Income Taxes:
      ------------

      Since the Company has incurred net losses for each year since
      inception, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary timing
      differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
      for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation
      allowance is established when uncertainty exists as to

<PAGE>  24

      whether all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will be
      realized. Deferred income taxes consist principally of deferred tax
      assets relating to net operating losses and research and development
      tax credits offset by deferred tax liabilities relating to
      depreciation. The net deferred tax asset is approximately $11,600,000
      at December 31, 1999, for which a full valuation allowance has been
      provided.

      At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $26,000,000 of
      federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $540,000
      of federal tax credit carryforwards available for income tax
      purposes. These net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will
      expire in the years 2009 through 2019. However, changes in the
      Company's ownership as defined in the Internal Revenue Code limit the
      Company's ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit
      carryforwards in any one year.

9.    Employees' Savings Plan:
      -----------------------

      The Company has a 401(k) savings plan for eligible employees. Under
      the provisions of the plan, eligible employees may voluntarily
      contribute up to 15% of their compensation up to the statutory limit.
      In addition, the Company can make a matching contribution at its
      discretion. The Company has not made any contribution to the Plan.

10.   Subsequent Event:
      ----------------

      Effective September 15, 2000, Haemonetics Corporation, a Massachusetts
      corporation ("Haemonetics") acquired the Company pursuant to an
      Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated
      September 4, 2000 among Haemonetics, the Company, Transfusion
      Merger Co., the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of
      Preferred and Common Stock of Transfusion and certain principals of
      the Company. 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 the Company. The Company was the
      surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the Company
      became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics and the shares of
      common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior
      to the acquisition converted into the right to receive an aggregate
      of $1,587,618, the shares of preferred stock of the Company issued and
      outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition (other than those
      shares held by Haemonetics) were converted into the right to receive
      an aggregate of $32,906,948 and

<PAGE>  25

      an outstanding warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock was
      converted into the right to receive $137,000, for a total of $34,631,566
      to be paid by Haemonetics at the Effective Time, less certain escrow
      holdback amounts. The Merger Agreement also provides for a cash
      adjustment to certain of the amounts paid in the Merger based upon the
      amount of the Company's gross cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
      immediately after the Effective Time.


                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Transfusion Technologies Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable convertible
preferred stock and stockholders' deficit and cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Transfusion Technologies
Corporation and its subsidiary at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
