</TABLE>

For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, none of the
options outstanding or unearned restricted stock awards were included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for those periods because the Company
had incurred net losses, and the inclusion of stock options and awards would
have been anti-dilutive.

(6)  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued.  SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137,
is required to be adopted by the Company during the quarter ended January 31,
2001.  The Company's management has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact
of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,
which summarizes certain of the SEC's views regarding revenue recognition.  The
provisions of SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A, will be effective for the
Company during the quarter ended January 31, 2001.  The Company has
preliminarily evaluated the guidance outlined in SAB Nos. 101 and 101A, and does
not believe the adoption of SAB Nos. 101 and 101A will impact the Company's
revenue recognition practices or consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Bio-Vascular, Inc. (the Company) is an innovative medical products company that
operates through two segments. The Company's branded surgical products segment
develops, manufactures and markets proprietary and patented specialty medical
products for use in thoracic, cardiac, neurological, vascular and ophthalmic
surgery. The Company's medical device components segment, operating through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Jer-Neen Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Jerneen Micro Medical
Technologies or Jerneen), is a value-added original equipment manufacturer of
micro-precision wire-based component products, including precision coils,
stylets and guidewire components and sub-assemblies used in the medical
industry.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 with the Three Months Ended
April 30, 1999

For the second quarter of fiscal 2000, consolidated net revenue increased
$450,000, or 9% to $5,343,000 from $4,893,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
1999. The consolidated operating loss was reduced to $108,000 in 2000 from
$291,000 in 1999, a reduction of 63% during the comparable quarters. The
Company's consolidated net loss incurred during the fiscal 2000 quarter was
reduced 81% to $38,000, or zero cents per diluted share, as compared to the
fiscal 1999 net loss of $202,000, or two cents per diluted share.

The branded surgical products segment's net revenue during the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased 7% to $3,301,000 from $3,098,000 in the same quarter of
fiscal 1999, primarily driven by increased sales of Surgical Tools and the
Tissue-Guard(TM) products. Surgical Tools product revenue during the 2000
quarter increased $113,000, or 17% to $767,000, led by the Flo-Thru Intraluminal
Shunt(TM). Net revenue from the Tissue-Guard product line increased 10% to
$1,482,000 during the fiscal 2000 quarter from $1,352,000 in the comparable
quarter of fiscal 1999. Peri-Strips(R) revenue during the 2000 quarter decreased
8% to $832,000 from $900,000 in the 1999 quarter, despite a 5% increase in
domestic sales of Peri-Strips. Management believes that the decrease is due
primarily to a decrease in the number of lung volume reduction surgeries
performed in foreign markets. International sales of Peri-Strips totaled
$173,000 and $274,000 in the second quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Biograft(R) revenue increased 15% to $220,000 during the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $192,000 during the prior year quarter, largely
driven by a 40% increase in international sales of Biograft.

The medical device component segment's net revenue increased 14% to $2,042,000
during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $1,795,000 in the comparable 1999
quarter, due in part to new precious metals handling agreements entered into
with key customers in late fiscal 1999. Through these agreements, the component
segment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agreed to purchase critical precious metals on behalf of certain
customers for use in the manufacturing of products for which the segment is paid
a handling fee for the incremental personnel and working capital resource
commitments it is undertaking.

The Company's consolidated gross margin percentage decreased to 49% during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 quarter from 51% for the same quarter of 1999.
The branded products segment experienced a nine percentage point improvement in
the gross margin, increasing from 57% in the 1999 quarter to 66% in the 2000
quarter.  Effective management of operations and incremental sales volume
combined with favorable operations administration spending trends are believed
to have collectively contributed to the increase in the branded segment's gross
margin during the quarter.  Conversely, the component segment's gross margin
percentage declined to 22% during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 40%
during the 1999 quarter, due mainly to product sales mix and the assumption of
the precious metal component of product production in fiscal 2000.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the second
quarter decreased $164,000, or 7%, to $2,178,000 from $2,342,000, between the
fiscal 2000 and 1999 quarters.  The overall decrease in SG&A expense represents
expense control measures implemented in the branded products segment, offset
slightly by the net incremental expense of $165,000 as a result of the
termination of an employment contract within the component segment.

Consolidated research and development (R&D) expense during the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased to $570,000, up $124,000 or 28% from the same quarter in
fiscal 1999.  The branded products segment increased R&D spending 17% to
$435,000 during the second quarter, reflecting the Company's continued
investment in pre-clinical feasibility studies for new products in development.
The quarterly R&D expense of the component segment increased $61,000, or 82%
over the comparable 1999 quarter, to $135,000 as a result of the full
implementation of the Technology Development Center at Jerneen.  R&D expense is
expected to fluctuate as projects continue under development.  This forward-
looking statement will be influenced primarily by the number of projects and the
related R&D personnel requirements, development and regulatory approval path,
expected costs and the timing of those costs for each project.

The consolidated operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was
reduced to $108,000, an improvement of $183,000 or 63% from the operating loss
of $291,000 incurred during the same quarter of 1999.  The branded products
segment increased operating income $662,000, from an operating loss of $500,000
in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to operating income of $162,000 in the
current fiscal quarter.  The component segment completed the 2000 quarter with
an operating loss of $270,000, including the $165,000 termination charge,
compared to operating income of $209,000 in the 1999 quarter.

The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $38,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000, an effective tax rate of 50%, as compared to a benefit
from income taxes of $42,000 at an effective tax rate of 17% in the comparable
1999 quarter.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 is
more than the statutory rates primarily due to the impact of permanent
differences, including nondeductible goodwill acquired in the acquisition of
Jerneen, partially offset by the impact of research and experimentation credits.

The second quarter 2000 net loss was $38,000, or zero cents per share, compared
to a net loss of $202,000, or two cents per share, in the same quarter of 1999.


Comparison of the Six Months Ended April 30, 2000 with
the Six Months Ended April 30, 1999

For the first six months of fiscal 2000, consolidated net revenue increased 12%
to $9,725,000 from $8,722,000 reported for the comparable period of fiscal 1999.
The Company reduced the first-half year consolidated operating

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

loss by 46% to $396,000 in 2000 from $732,000 in 1999. The consolidated net loss
incurred during the fiscal 2000 period was $167,000, or two cents per share,
compared to a loss of $520,000, or six cents per share in 1999.

The branded surgical products segment's net revenue for the first-half of fiscal
2000 increased $890,000 or 16% to $6,415,000 from $5,525,000 in the prior year,
with April 2000 representing the eleventh consecutive month of gross revenue in
excess of $1 million, a record for this segment.  The branded products segment
experienced revenue gains from all major product lines on a year to date basis.
Sales of Surgical Tools for the first two quarters of fiscal 2000 increased
$358,000 or 31% to $1,517,000, led by sales of the Flo-Thru Intraluminal Shunt.
Revenue from the Tissue-Guard product line increased to $2,837,000 during the
fiscal 2000 first-half, reflecting a 14% increase over the comparable prior year
period, led by sales increases of Dura-Guard(R), Vascu-Guard and Supple Peri-
Guard(R).

On a year to date basis, the medical device component segment's net revenue
increased to $3,310,000, a 4% increase over prior year revenue of $3,197,000 for
the same period of 1999 reflecting the new precious metals handling agreements
entered into with key customers in late fiscal 1999.

The Company's consolidated gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 2000
of 51% remains unchanged from the prior year period, despite significant
fluctuations in the gross margin percentages of the business segments.  The
branded surgical products segment gross margin percentage on a year to date
basis increased seven percentage points to 64% as a result of the incremental
sales volume combined with management's efforts to effectively manage operations
activities and spending levels.  The factors which significantly increased the
branded segment's gross margin for the second quarter of 2000 contributed to the
increase in the year to date margin as well.  The medical device component
segment's gross margin percentage decreased to 27% for the first-half of fiscal
2000 from 39% in the prior year period due mainly to product sales mix and the
assumption of the precious metal component of product production in fiscal 2000.

The consolidated SG&A expense for the first two quarters of fiscal 2000
decreased $150,000, or 3% to $4,217,000 from $4,367,000 in 1999, primarily as a
result of expense control measures implemented at the branded products segment.
Decreased spending on external costs to assert a reversal of HCFA's LVRS non
coverage decision and direct marketing materials presenting the branded
segment's new corporate logo and image (introduced in fiscal 1999), in addition
to the full amortization of goodwill associated with product rights as of
October 31, 1999, contributed to an overall decrease in the branded segment's
SG&A expense of $395,000 or 11% to $3,117,000 in fiscal 2000 from $3,512,000 in
fiscal 1999.  The component segment's SG&A expense for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 increased $245,000 to $1,100,000 from $855,000, due primarily to the
termination charge associated with an employment contract.

Consolidated R&D expense during the first two quarters of fiscal 2000 increased
to $1,176,000, up $397,000 or 51% from $779,000 for the same period of fiscal
1999.  The increase in R&D expense in fiscal 2000 over 1999 reflects the branded
segment's continued investment in pre-clinical feasibility studies for new
products in development, and the component segment's full implementation of the
Technology Development Center.  R&D expense is expected to fluctuate as projects
continue under development.  This forward-looking statement will be influenced
primarily by the number of projects and the related R&D personnel requirements,
development and regulatory approval path, expected costs and the timing of those
costs for each project.

The consolidated operating loss for the first-half of fiscal 2000 has been
reduced to $396,000, an improvement of $336,000 or 46% from the operating loss
of $732,000 incurred during the comparable period of 1999.  This operating loss
reduction reflects a change of more than $1 million in operating income of the
branded products segment, which improved from an operating loss of $990,000 in
1999 to operating income of $97,000 in 2000.  Offsetting the positive operating
income change of the branded products segment, the component segment incurred a
year to date operating loss of $493,000 as compared to operating income of
$258,000 for the same period in 1999.

OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other income, primarily net interest income, was $63,000 in the first-half of
fiscal 2000 and $108,000 in the comparable 1999 period.  The decrease in net
interest income is related to lower average cash and investment balances in 2000
as compared to 1999, due primarily to cash expenditures for the Company's stock
repurchase program (which was completed as of October 31, 1999), purchases of
equipment and leasehold improvements and repayments of long-term obligations.
The Company's loss before income taxes was $333,000 during the first six months
of fiscal 2000 as compared to a loss of $624,000 in the same period of fiscal
1999.

The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $166,000 during the first
two quarters of fiscal 2000, an effective tax rate of 50%, as compared to a
benefit from income taxes of $104,000 at an effective tax rate of 17% in the
comparable 1999 period.  The effective tax rate for the first two quarters of
fiscal 2000 is more than the statutory rates primarily due to the impact of
permanent differences, including nondeductible goodwill acquired in the
acquisition of Jerneen, partially offset by the impact of research and
experimentation credits.

The consolidated net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $167,000,
or two cents per share, as compared to a net loss of $520,000, or six cents per
share, in the same period of fiscal 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $4,481,000 at April 30, 2000 as compared to
$5,596,000 at October 31, 1999, a reduction of $1,115,000.

Operating activities used cash of $400,000 during the first six months of fiscal
2000, as compared to providing cash of $140,000 during the same period in fiscal
1999.  Cash was used by operations through an increase in working capital
primarily used for inventory and accounts receivable.  These cash uses were
partially offset by non-cash expenses in excess of the loss from operations
combined with an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses during the
period.

Investing activities used $594,000 of cash during the first-half of fiscal 2000,
which included $467,000 in purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements and
the issuance of a collateralized note receivable of $106,000 to an unrelated
party due in November 2000.

Financing activities used $121,000 of cash during the 2000 period, including
cash repayments of $204,000 for capital equipment lease and other long-term
obligations, offset by proceeds received of $83,000 related to stock-based
compensation plans.  The Company has short and long-term obligations of
$1,043,000 at April 30, 2000, including the component segment's employment
contract termination charge which requires monthly payments through July 2001.
Payments on all other long-term obligations extend through 2004.

The Company believes existing cash and investments will be sufficient to satisfy
its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.  This forward-looking
statement, as well as the Company's long-term cash requirements, will be a
function of a number of variables, including R&D priorities, acquisition
opportunities and the growth and profitability of the business.


New Accounting Standards

In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued.  SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137,
is required to be adopted by the Company during the quarter ended January 31,
2001.  The Company's management has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact
of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,
which summarizes certain of the SEC's views regarding revenue recognition.  The
provisions of SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A, will be effective for the
Company during the quarter ended January 31, 2001.  The Company has
preliminarily evaluated the guidance outlined in SAB Nos. 101 and 101A, and does
not believe the adoption of SAB Nos. 101 and 101A will impact the Company's
revenue recognition practices or consolidated financial statements.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal financial instruments the Company maintains are in accounts
receivable and long-term obligations.  The Company believes that the interest
rate, credit and market risk related to these accounts are not significant.  The
Company manages the risk associated with these accounts through periodic reviews
of the carrying value for non-collectibility of assets and establishment of
appropriate allowances in connection with the Company's internal controls and
policies.
