                                 CRYOLIFE, INC.
               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) generally  accepted  accounting  principles
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 generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation  have been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended
March  31,  1998  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further  information,  refer
to the consolidated  financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

The accompanying  unaudited  proforma summary  consolidated  balance sheet as of
March  31,  1998   reflects  the  receipt  of  the  proceeds  of  the  Company's
following-on  equity offering (the "Offering") of 2,588,000 shares of its common
stock which became  effective March 30, 1998 and closed on April 3, 1998 as well
as the underwriters' exercise of an overallotment option with respect to 387,500
additional  shares which closed on April 16, 1998, and the  application of those
proceeds to the repayment of certain debt and interest  aggregating  $13,296,000
and the payment of certain offering costs aggregating $534,000.

NOTE 2 - FOLLOW-ON EQUITY OFFERING

On April 3, 1998 the Company  completed  the Offering of 2,588,000 new shares of
its common stock  resulting in net proceeds of $39.4 million.  On April 16, 1998
the Company issued an additional  387,500 shares of common stock pursuant to the
underwriters'  overallotment  option resulting in $6.0 million of additional net
proceeds to the  Company.  The net  proceeds  will be used to repay  outstanding
amounts  under  the  Company's  bank  loans,   for  expansion  of  manufacturing
facilities and for general  corporate  purposes,  including  working capital and
potential  acquisitions.  The  accompanying  proforma balance sheet at March 31,
1998 gives  effect to the receipt of the  proceeds  from the  underwriters,  the
repayment of the Company's bank loans and the payment of certain offering costs.

In conjunction  with the Offering,  $607,000 of the convertible  debentures were
converted into 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock.


NOTE 4 - INVENTORY

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Results of Operations

Revenues  increased  40% to $14.6  million for the three  months ended March 31,
1998 from $10.4  million for the same period in 1997.  The  increase in revenues
was  primarily  due to  the  growing  acceptance  in the  medical  community  of
cryopreserved  tissues,  the  Company's  ability to procure  greater  amounts of
tissue,  price  increases  for certain  cryopreservation  services  and revenues
attributable to the Company's line of single-use devices following the Ideas for
Medicine,  Inc. ("IFM") acquisition in March 1997. Revenues for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998 and March  31,  1997  included  $1,585,000  and  $554,000
respectively, attributable to the acquisition of IFM.

Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation  services increased
15% to $7.4  million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.5 million
for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997,   representing  51%  and  62%,
respectively,  of total revenues during such periods.  This increase in revenues
was primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of heart allograft shipments.

Revenues from human vascular tissue  cryopreservation  services increased 37% to
$3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997,  representing 24% and 25%,  respectively,  of
total revenues for those periods. This increase in revenues was primarily due to
a 34% increase in the number of vascular allograft  shipments resulting from the
introduction of  cryopreserved  tissues for new procedures and increased  demand
for the Company's existing cryopreservation services.

Revenues from human  connective  tissue for the knee  cryopreservation  services
increased  158% to $1.8  million for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 from
$693,000 for the three months  ended March 31,  1997,  representing  12% and 7%,
respectively, of total revenues for those periods. This increase in revenues was
primarily  due to a 127%  increase in the number of  allograft  shipments  and a
greater  proportion of the 1998 shipments  consisting of cryopreserved  menisci,
which  have  a  significantly   higher  per  unit  revenue  than  the  Company's
cryopreserved tendons.

Revenues from the sale of bioprosthetic  cardiovascular devices increased 92% to
$200,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 from  $104,000 for the three
months  ended March 31,  1997,  representing  1% of total  revenues  during each
period.  This  increase in revenues was  primarily due to a 169% increase in the
number of bioprosthetic cardiovascular device shipments.

Other  revenues  increased to $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Other  revenues in 1998
relate  primarily  to  research  grant  awards  for  the  Company's   synergraft
technology.

Cost of  cryopreservation  services and products aggregated $5.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, representing 37% of total revenues,  compared
to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997,  representing  33% of
total revenues. Cost of cryopreservation services and products increased 60% for
the first quarter 1998 compared to the first quarter 1997.  The increase in 1998
of the  cost of  cryopreservation  services  and  products  as a  percentage  of
revenues results from increased manufacturing overhead costs associated with the
Company's  new  corporate   headquarters  and  manufacturing  facility  and  the
inclusion of three  months of IFM's sales in 1998,  which  generate  lower gross
margins than cryopreservation services,  compared with one month of IFM sales in
the first quarter 1997.

General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 30% to $5.8 million for
the three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  compared  to $4.5  million  for the
corresponding period in 1997,  representing 40% and 43%, respectively,  of total
revenues in each  period.  The  increase in  expenditures  in 1998  results from
expenses  incurred to support the increase in revenues and costs associated with
the introduction of BioGlue into the European community.

Research and  development  expenses were $1.0 million for the three months ended
March 31,  1998,  compared to  $849,000  for the  corresponding  period in 1997,
representing  7% and 8%,  respectively,  of  total  revenues  for  each  period.
Research and development  spending relates principally to the Company's focus on
its bioadhesives and synergraft technologies.

Interest expense increased to $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from  $132,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  This  increase in
interest  expense is due to a full quarter of interest  expense in 1998 relating
to the  convertible  debenture  entered into for the acquisition of IFM in March
1997 as well as an increase  in the bank loans used to finance  the  building of
the IFM manufacturing facility.

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 that this demand trend for human heart valve
and conduit  cryopreservation  services is  primarily  due to the high number of
surgeries  scheduled  during the summer  months.  Management  believes  that the
trends  experienced by the Company to date for its human  connective  tissue for
the knee  cryopreservation  services  indicate  that this  business  may also be
seasonal  because  it is an  elective  procedure  that  may  be  performed  less
frequently during the fourth quarter holiday months. However, the demand for the
Company's  human  vascular  tissue  cryopreservation   services,   bioprosthetic
cardiovascular  devices  and  single-use  medical  devices  does not  appear  to
experience this seasonal trend.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31,  1998,  net working  capital was $59.5  million,  compared to $18.8
million at December 31, 1997,  with a current ratio of 9-to-1 at March 31, 1998.
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  $698,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998,  as compared to net cash used in operating  activities  of
$2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase  primarily
resulted  from a decrease in the amount of accounts  payable  liquidated  in the
first  quarter  in 1998 as  compared  to the  first  quarter  of 1997 due to the
construction  of the  Company's  new corporate  headquarters  and  manufacturing
facility.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  was $2.0  million for the three  months
ended March 31,  1998,  as compared to $5.7  million for the three  months ended
March 31,  1997.  This  decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to the absence a
business  acquisition  during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first
quarter of 1997, during which the Company acquired IFM.

Net cash provided by financing  activities was $1.3 million for the three months
ended March 31,  1998,  as compared to $6.8  million for the three  months ended
March 31,  1997.  This  decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to a decrease in
borrowings on the Company's bank loans. On April 3, 1998, the Company  completed
a follow-on  equity offering (the  "Offering") of 2,588,000  shares which became
effective  March 30, 1998,  and on April 16, 1998, an  overallotment  option was
exercised for an additional 387,500 shares.

A portion of the net proceeds of $45,450,000 were used to repay the bank loans
and accrued interest totaling $13,296,000.


546079.1

<PAGE>





The  Company  anticipates  that  the net  proceeds  from the  Offering  and cash
generated  from  operations  will  be  sufficient  to  meet  its  operating  and
development  needs  for the  next  12  months.  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 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 to expand  manufacturing
capacity  and the  extent  to  which  the  Company's  products  generate  market
acceptance  and demand.  There can be no  assurance  that 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.

Year 2000

The Company is aware of the issues that many  computer  systems will face as the
millennium (year 2000) approaches.  The Company,  however, believes that its own
internal software and hardware is year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that
any year 2000 problems encountered by procurement agencies,  hospitals and other
customers  and vendors are not likely to have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's operations.  The Company anticipates no other year 2000 problems which
are  reasonably  likely  to have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's
operations.  There can be no  assurance,  however,  that such  problems will not
arise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130,
Reporting  Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). The Company adopted Statement
130 for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998.  Due to the  immateriality  of the
Company's elements of comprehensive  income,  such adoption had no effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements  made in this Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998 that
state the Company's or management's intentions,  hopes, beliefs, expectations or
predictions of the future are  forward-looking  statements within the meaning of
the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. It is important to note
that the Company's  actual results could differ  materially from those contained
in such  forward-looking  statements as a result of adverse  changes in any of a
number  of  factors  that  affect  the  Company's  business,  including  without
limitation,  changes in (1) government regulation of the Company's business, (2)
the Company's competitive position,  (3) the availability of tissue for implant,
(4) the status of the Company's products under  development,  (5) the protection
of the Company's proprietary technology and (6) the reimbursement of health care
costs by third-party  payors.  See the  "Business-Risk  Factors"  section of the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 for a
more  detailed  discussion  of these and other  factors  which might  affect the
Company's future performance.
