                         CRYOLIFE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
               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) U.S.  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  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles for complete financial  presentations.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary
for fair  presentation  have been included.  Operating results for the three and
six months  ended June 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results
that  may be  expected  for the year  ending  December  31,  2000.  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,
1999.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS

The  Company  maintains  cash  equivalents  and  investments  in  several  large
well-capitalized  financial  institutions,  and the Company's  policy  disallows
investment  in any  securities  rated less than  "investment-grade"  by national
rating services.

Management  determines the appropriate  classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase and  reevaluates  such  designations  as of each balance  sheet
date.  Debt securities are classified as  held-to-maturity  when the Company has
the  positive   intent  and  ability  to  hold  the   securities   to  maturity.
Held-to-maturity  securities are stated at amortized  cost.  Debt securities not
classified as held-to-maturity or trading,  and marketable equity securities not
classified as trading, are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale
securities  are  stated at their  fair  values,  with the  unrealized  gains and
losses,  net of tax, reported in a separate  component of shareholders'  equity.
The  amortized  cost of debt  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  is
adjusted for  amortization  of premiums and  accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such  amortization is included in investment  income.  Realized gains and losses
and  declines in value judged to be other than  temporary on  available-for-sale
securities  are included in investment  income.  The cost of securities  sold is
based  on  the  specific   identification  method.  Interest  and  dividends  on
securities classified as available-for-sale  are included in interest income. At
June 30, 2000, all marketable  equity securities and debt securities held by the
Company were designated as available-for-sale.

Total gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities were $0 and
$39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Total
gross  realized  gains  on sales of  available-for-sale  securities  were $0 and
$116,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  As of
June 30, 2000,  differences between cost and market of $1,281,000 (less deferred
taxes of $434,000) are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

At June 30, 2000 and  December  31,  1999,  approximately  $4.0 million and $4.1
million, respectively, of debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or
less at their acquisition  dates were included in cash and cash equivalents.  At
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, no investments  had a maturity date between
90 days and one year and  approximately  $15.9  million of  investments  matured
between one and five years, respectively.  The market values of these securities
approximate cost.

NOTE 5 - DEBT

On April 25, 2000, the Company  entered into a loan agreement (the  "Agreement")
which  permits  the  Company to borrow up to $8  million  under a line of credit
during the expansion of the Company's corporate  headquarters.  Borrowings under
the line of credit  bear  interest  equal to the  Adjusted  LIBOR  plus 2% to be
adjusted  monthly.  Upon the earlier of completion of  construction  or June 30,
2001, the line of credit will be converted to a term loan to be paid in 60 equal
monthly  installments of principal plus interest computed at Adjusted LIBOR plus
1.5%. The Agreement contains certain restrictive  covenants  including,  but not
limited to,  maintenance of certain  financial ratios and a minimum tangible net
worth  requirement.  The  Agreement  is  secured  by  substantially  all  of the
Company's  assets.  At June 30,  2000,  $8 million was  available to be borrowed
under the line of credit.

NOTE 6 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, net comprehensive income was
less than net income by approximately $64,000 and $328,000 respectively,  due to
unrealized losses on marketable equity securities.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Results of Operations

Preservation and product  revenues  increased 12% to $19.3 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000 from  $17.3  million  for the same  period in 1999.
Preservation  and product  revenues  increased  16% to $38.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $33.3  million for the same period in 1999.  The
increase in revenues was primarily due to the growing  acceptance in the medical
community of  cryopreserved  tissues which has resulted in increased  demand for
the  Company's  cryopreservation  services,  the  Company's  ability  to procure
greater amounts of tissue,  revenues attributable to the Company's  introduction
of BioGlue  surgical  adhesive in domestic  markets in January of 2000 and other
reasons discussed below.

Revenues from human heart valve and conduit cryopreservation  services decreased
3% to $7.6  million for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $7.8 million
for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1999,   representing   39%  and  45%,
respectively,  of total revenues during such periods.  Revenues from human heart
valve and conduit  cryopreservation  services  increased 4% to $15.2 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 2000 from $14.6  million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, representing 39% and 43%, respectively,  of total revenues during
such periods.  The decrease in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000
primarily  results from a decrease in the number of aortic heart valve allograft
shipments  due to a decrease in the number of aortic  valve  donations  received
during the three months ended June 30, 2000,  partially offset by an increase in
the number of pulmonary  heart valve shipments which results from an increase in
the  number  of  Ross  procedures  being  performed.  In a Ross  procedure,  the
patient's  pulmonary valve is transplanted  into the aortic position and a human
pulmonary allograft is transplanted into the patient's  pulmonary position.  The
increase in revenues  for the six months ended June 30, 2000  primarily  results
from the Company's ability to procure greater amounts of tissue during the first
quarter of 2000 and an increase in the  shipments of  pulmonary  heart valves as
discussed above.

Revenues from human vascular tissue  cryopreservation  services increased 21% to
$5.5  million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $4.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  28% and 26%,  respectively,  of
total  revenues  during  such  periods.  Revenues  from  human  vascular  tissue
cryopreservation  services  increased  18% to $11.1  million  for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from $9.4  million for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,
representing 28% and 28%,  respectively,  of total revenues during such periods.
This  increase in revenues was  primarily due to a 22% and a 20% increase in the
number of vascular allograft shipments for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively,  due to an increased demand for saphenous vein, the
Company's  ability to procure greater amounts of tissue and the growth in demand
for the Company's cryopreserved femoral vein for dialysis access.

Revenues from human connective tissue cryopreservation services increased 55% to
$3.9  million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $2.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  20% and 15%,  respectively,  of
total  revenues  during such  periods.  Revenues  from human  connective  tissue
cryopreservation services increased 60% to $7.8 million for the six months ended
June 30,  2000  from  $4.9  million  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999,
representing 20% and 15%,  respectively,  of total revenues during such periods.
This  increase in revenues was  primarily due to a 52% and a 54% increase in the
number of allograft shipments for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2000, respectively, due to increased demand and the Company's ability to procure
greater  amounts of tissue.  Additional  revenue  increases have resulted from a
greater proportion of the 2000 shipments consisting of preserved  osteoarticular
grafts,  which have a  significantly  higher per unit revenue than the Company's
cryopreserved menisci and tendons.

Revenues from BioGlue(R)  surgical  adhesive  increased 265% to $1.5 million for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from  $409,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999,  representing 8% and 2%,  respectively,  of total revenues during
such periods.  Revenues from BioGlue  surgical  adhesive  increased 295% to $2.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from  $663,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999,  representing  7% and 2%,  respectively,  of total revenues
during  such  periods.  This  increase  in  revenues is due to a 150% and a 182%
increase in the number of BioGlue milliliter  shipments for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2000,  respectively.  The  improvement in shipments is
due to  increased  product  awareness  since  the  introduction  of  BioGlue  in
international markets in April of 1998, increased surgeon training,  the receipt
of the CE approval for pulmonary  indications  in Europe in March 1999,  and the
introduction  of BioGlue in  domestic  markets in January of 2000  pursuant to a
Humanitarian  Use Device  Exemption  for the use of BioGlue as an adjunct in the
repair of acute thoracic aortic dissections.

Revenues from  bioprosthetic  cardiovascular  devices were $196,000 and $423,000
for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  representing  1% of total
revenues  during each such period and were  $330,000  and $529,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  2% of total  revenues  during
each such period.

Revenues from Ideas for Medicine, Inc. ("IFM") decreased 63% to $608,000 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $1.6  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999,  representing 3% and 9%,  respectively,  of total revenues during
such periods. Revenues from IFM decreased 47% to $1.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from $3.2  million for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,
representing 4% and 9%, respectively, of total revenues during such periods. The
IFM product line was sold to Horizon Medical Products, Inc. ("HMP") on September
30, 1998.  In October  1998 IFM began an OEM  manufacturing  agreement  with HMP
which provides for the manufacture by IFM of specified minimum dollar amounts of
IFM products to be  purchased  exclusively  by the  purchaser of the IFM product
line over each of the four years following the sale.

The Company recorded a nonrecurring  charge of $2.4 million in 1999 primarily as
a result of HMP's  default on its  manufacturing  contract with IFM. On June 22,
1999,  IFM  notified  HMP that it was in default of  certain  provisions  of the
contract.  After notification of the default,  HMP indicated to the Company that
it would not be able to meet and has not met the minimum  purchase  requirements
outlined in the contract.  The Company has been and continues to negotiate  with
HMP in order to reach a mutually agreeable solution to the default.

Grant  revenues  increased  to $149,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $127,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Grant revenues decreased
to $291,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 from  $393,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.  Grant  revenues are primarily  attributable  to the
SynerGraft(R) research and development programs.

Cost of  cryopreservation  services and products aggregated $8.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $8.2 million for the corresponding
period   in   1999,   representing   43%  and   48%,   respectively,   of  total
cryopreservation  and product revenues in each period.  Cost of cryopreservation
services and products aggregated $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000, compared to $15.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
1999,  representing 45% and 47% of total  cryopreservation and product revenues,
respectively.  The  decrease in the 2000 cost of  cryopreservation  services and
products as a percentage  of revenues  results from an increase in revenues from
BioGlue   surgical   adhesive,   which   carry   higher   gross   margins   than
cryopreservation  services,  and  from a  greater  portion  of 2000  orthopaedic
cryopreservation  revenues  being  derived from  services that have higher gross
margins than other orthopaedic  cryopreservation services, partially offset by a
lesser portion of 2000 revenues being derived from human heart valve and conduit
cryopreservation  services,  which carry significantly higher gross margins than
other cryopreservation services.

General, administrative and marketing expenses increased 25% to $7.4 million for
the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000,  compared  to $5.9  million  for the
corresponding period in 1999,  representing 38% and 34%, respectively,  of total
cryopreservation  and product revenues in each period.  General,  administrative
and marketing  expenses  increased 20% to $14.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000,  compared to $12.1 million for the corresponding  period in 1999,
representing 37% and 36%,  respectively,  of total  cryopreservation and product
revenues in each period.  The increase in  expenditures  in 2000  resulted  from
expenses  incurred to support the increase in revenues  and expenses  associated
with the establishment of the Company's European headquarters.

Research and  development  expenses  increased 32% to $1.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $883,000 for the corresponding period in
1999,  representing  6% and 5%,  respectively,  of  total  cryopreservation  and
product revenues for each period.  Research and development  expenses  increased
27% to $2.5  million for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  compared to $2.0
million  for  the  corresponding  period  in  1999,  representing  6%  of  total
cryopreservation and product revenues for each period.  Research and development
spending relates  principally to the Company's ongoing human clinical trials for
its BioGlue surgical adhesive and to its focus on its SynerGraft technologies.

Net  interest  income was  $314,000 and $278,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Net interest income was $626,000 and $584,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.


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 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 the trends
experienced by the Company to date for its human connective  tissue for the knee
cryopreservation services indicate this business may also be seasonal because it
is an elective  procedure  which may be  performed  less  frequently  during the
fourth quarter holiday months.  However,  the demand for the Company's  vascular
tissue  cryopreservation  services,  bioprosthetic  cardiovascular  devices, and
BioGlue surgical  adhesive does not appear to experience this seasonal trend. As
an OEM manufacturer of single-use  medical  devices,  the sale of those products
are dictated by a  manufacturing  agreement  which is not affected by a seasonal
trend.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30,  2000,  net  working  capital was $62.4  million,  compared to $59.9
million at December 31, 1999,  with a current  ratio of 7 to 1 at June 30, 2000.
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 and a common stock  repurchase  plan  approved by the
Board of Directors in October of 1998. 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 $5.4 million for the six months
ended June 30,  2000,  as compared to net cash used in operating  activities  of
$3.2  million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This  increase  primarily
resulted  from a  reduction  in the  increase  in  accounts  receivable  despite
increased  revenues and a decrease in the amount of accounts payable  liquidated
in the first half of 2000 as  compared to the first half of 1999 due to expenses
associated with the BioGlue manufacturing laboratory incurred in 1999.

Net cash used in investing  activities was $3.5 million for the six months ended
June 30,  2000,  as compared to $1.9  million for the six months  ended June 30,
1999.  This  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase in capital
expenditures  in  2000  related  to the  expansion  of the  Company's  corporate
headquarters.

Net cash provided by financing  activities  was $98,000 for the six months ended
June 30,  2000,  as compared to net cash used in  financing  activities  of $2.7
million for the six months ended June 30,  1999.  This  decrease  was  primarily
attributable to a reduction in the Company's repurchase of treasury stock during
the first half of 2000  coupled  with an  increase  in the  proceeds  from stock
option exercises.

Management  is currently  seeking to complete a potential  private  placement of
equity  or  equity-oriented  securities  to form a  subsidiary  company  for the
commercial  development of its serine proteinase light activation  technologies.
This strategy, if successful,  will allow an affiliated entity to fund the light
activation  technology  and should  expedite the  commercial  development of its
blood  clot  dissolving  and  surgical  sealant  product   applications  without
additional  research and  development  expenditures  by the Company  (other than
through the affiliated company).  This strategy,  if successful,  will favorably
impact the Company's  liquidity  going  forward.  The Company has ceased further
development  of light  activation  technology  pending the  identification  of a
corporate partner to fund future development.

The Company  anticipates  that  current  cash and  marketable  securities,  cash
generated from  operations and its $10 million of bank facilities (of which $1.9
million was drawn as of July 31, 2000) will be  sufficient to meet its operating
and development  needs for at least the next 12 months,  including the expansion
of the Company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing  facilities.  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 its corporate headquarters and manufacturing  facility, and the extent to
which the Company's products generate market acceptance and demand. There can be
no assurance 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.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements made in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 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) the Company's ability to find an equity investor in
the FibRx  technology  and the  impact of such an  investment  on the  Company's
liquidity,  (2) the adequacy of the Company's  financing  arrangements  over the
next twelve months, (3) the outcome of the ongoing discussions with HMP and, (4)
governmental  or  third-party  reimbursement  policies.  See the  "Business-Risk
Factors"  section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999 for a more  detailed  discussion of factors which might affect
the Company's future performance.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company's  interest  income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the
general level of U.S.  interest rates. In this regard,  changes in U.S. interest
rates affect the  interest  earned on the  Company's  cash  equivalents  of $4.1
million and short-term  investments of $15.9 million in municipal obligations as
of June  30,  2000 as well as  interest  paid on its  debt.  At July  31,  2000,
approximately  $1.9 million of the Company's debt charged interest at a variable
rate. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Company
generally  maintains 50% of its debt as fixed rate in nature.  As a result,  the
Company is subject to a risk that  interest  rates will decrease and the Company
may be unable to refinance its debt.
