NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2000

(Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related information presented in these notes have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Angeion Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

    During March 2000, Angeion Corporation announced the discontinuance of its historical business, the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of implantable cardioverter defibrillators ("ICD"). Accordingly, the Company decided to pursue the license or transfer of its ICD technology and to discontinue the ICD product line. The last sales of these products were made during the second quarter of 2000. Consequently, the ICD business is accounted for as a discontinued operation and amounts in the financial statements for all periods shown have been restated to reflect discontinued operations accounting. Moreover, the Company is now focusing its efforts on the markets served by and business operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Graphics Corporation, and the acquisition and development of future businesses that contribute to shareholder value.

    Comprehensive income is a measure of all non-owner changes in shareholders' equity and includes such items as net income, certain foreign currency translation items, minimum pension liability adjustments and changes in the value of available-for-sale securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, comprehensive income (loss) for Angeion Corporation was equivalent to net income (loss) as reported.

2.  Reclassifications

    Certain amounts in Angeion's Form 10-Q for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

3.  Net Income (Loss) Per Share

    Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share assuming dilution reflects the potential dilution to basic net income per share that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options, or other such items, to common shares using the if-converted and treasury stock methods based upon the weighted-average fair value of the Company's common shares during the period.

5


4.  Bank Line of Credit

    The Company allowed the line of credit agreement between its subsidiary, Medical Graphics Corporation, and a bank to expire according to its terms as of March 31, 2000.

5.  New Accounting Pronouncements

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the effective date and SFAS No. 138 with respect to certain hedging activities) will be effective for the Company in January, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 133, but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 which provides the staff's views in applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue recognition issues. As amended, SAB No. 101 is now effective no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company will be required to adopt the guidance of this bulletin no later than the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company believes that SAB No. 101 will not have a material effect on its financial statements.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

    Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the factors set forth in the Section entitled "Certain Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1, "Business" of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Various forward-looking statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may also be made in other Angeion reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in its press releases and in other documents. In addition, from time to time, the Company through its management may make oral forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

    Angeion recorded a net loss of $1,468,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a net loss of $7,789,000 for the same period in 1999. These amounts included losses from continuing operations of $1,490,000 and $340,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income from discontinued operations was $22,000 for 2000 compared to a loss of $7,449,000 for 1999. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 represents the net proceeds of $52,000 from the sale of a patent, partially offset by discontinued operating expenses.

    The Company recorded net income of $6,525,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $6,698,000 for the same period in 1999. These amounts included losses from continuing operations of $4,560,000 and $1,533,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income from discontinued operations was $11,085,000 for 2000 compared to $8,231,000 for 1999. Income from discontinued operations is primarily due to the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights and sale of certain assets, partially offset by discontinued operating expenses in both years while 1999 also includes proceeds from settlement of a lawsuit.

    The decision to discontinue the ICD product line represented a significant change for Angeion Corporation. As a result of the December 21, 1999 merger, Medical Graphics Corporation ("Medical Graphics") now comprises a majority of the total assets of the Company and generates all of its sales. The Company is focusing its current efforts primarily on the markets served by and business operations of Medical Graphics. Given that decision and Angeion's current focus, the following discussion is directed at the Company's subsidiary, Medical Graphics Corporation. Since the accompanying consolidated statements of operations present 1999 activities of the ICD business under discontinued operations accounting rules and do not reflect operations of Medical Graphics prior to the merger date, we have prepared the following table to include Medical Graphics as if it had been acquired on January 1, 1999. Moreover, 1999 includes $150,000 and $450,000 of recurring Angeion general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The following table summarizes selected financial data, as adjusted to include Medical Graphics

Revenues

    Revenues consist of product sales and service revenues. Product sales reflect sales of Medical Graphic's cardiopulmonary diagnostic and monitoring systems, software and aftermarket sales of peripherals and supplies. Service revenues reflect contract revenues from extended warranties, non-warranty service visits and training.

    Third quarter total revenue decreased 28.6% to $4,068,000 in 2000 compared to $5,697,000 in 1999. This overall decrease was driven by domestic product revenue which decreased by 43.4% to $2,667,000 in 2000 compared to $4,714,000 in 1999. International revenue increased by 58.3% to $779,000 in 2000 from $492,000 in 1999. Service revenue increased by 26.7% to $622,000 in 2000 from $491,000 in 1999.

    For the nine months ended September 30, total revenue decreased 20.4% to $12,834,000 in 2000 from $16,128,000 in 1999. This decrease was primarily a result of domestic product revenue decreasing 35.5% to $8,336,000 in 2000 from $12,934,000 in 1999. International revenue increased 51.9% to $2,659,000 in 2000 from $1,750,000 in 1999. Service revenue increased by 27.4% to $1,839,000 in 2000 from $1,444,000 in 1999.

    Both the quarter and the year-to-date revenue have been influenced by similar business factors. The domestic decreases are due to lower software upgrade sales associated with year 2000 compliance as well as decreases in customers' total capital budgets following months of heavy year 2000 compliance spending. The Company's decision to discontinue selling its sleep diagnostic products in the second quarter of 2000 also contributed to the third quarter domestic revenue decrease compared to 1999. On balance, sales of domestic products, exclusive of sleep diagnostic products, increased from the second to the third quarter of 2000 by 13.9%. International increases reflect the success of additional Company focus on returning international revenue to its historical levels. Service revenue increases reflect a strengthened service department which allows the Company to service more customers directly and rely less on use of third party service organizations.

Gross Margin

    Gross margin percentage decreased to 36.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 47.6% for the same period of 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, gross margin percentage decreased to 34.2% in 2000 from 45.4% in 1999. The margin

8


decrease for both periods reflects several factors. Decreases for both periods reflect product mix changes due to lower sales of higher margin software upgrade products associated with year 2000 compliance as well as allocation of overhead expenses over a smaller base of product sales. Moreover, the year to date gross margin percentage decrease includes a second quarter $332,000 reduction in the value of inventory related to an announced decision to discontinue distribution of sleep disorder diagnostic products.

Selling and Marketing

    Selling and marketing expenses decreased 14.3% to $1,187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1,385,000 in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, selling and marketing expenses decreased 8.4% to $3,551,000 in 2000 from $3,875,000 in 1999. Both periods include significantly lower commissions and decreased travel and selling expenses attributed to lower domestic revenue. The year to date decrease also reflects lower expenses associated with equipment demonstrations. These decreases are partially offset by additional costs in support of our focus on international revenue.

General and Administrative

    General and administrative expenses decreased by 15.1% to $680,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $801,000 in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, general and administrative expenses decreased by 5.8% to $2,036,000 in 2000 from $2,162,000 in 1999. Expenses for both year 2000 periods were lower due to decreased personnel costs and directors' fees which were partially offset by higher legal expenses associated with on-going litigation. In addition, the year to date decrease is partially offset by temporary additional expenses related to the integration of Medical Graphics.

Research and Development

    Research and development expenses increased by 6.8% to $425,000 in the third quarter of 2000 from $398,000 for the same period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, research and development expenses increased 4.1% to $1,243,000 in 2000 from $1,194,000 in 1999. The quarter and nine month periods both reflect continued use of in-house software engineers rather than independent software contractors as part of our transition of product software to a Windows 98/NT platform. Both periods also include additional expenses associated with the March 16, 2000 acquisition of AeroSport, Inc. products. Additionally, the 1999 costs associated with re-engineering the Medical Graphics pulmonary function testing hardware are not being incurred in 2000.

Amortization of Intangibles

    Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense)

    Interest income shown on the consolidated statement of operations decreased to $134,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $328,000 for 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, interest income decreased to $350,000 in 2000 from $753,000 in 1999. The decreases for both periods reflect lower excess cash balances available for short term investment.

    Interest expense shown on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30 decreased to $511,000 in 2000 compared to $518,000 in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, interest expense decreased to $1,595,000 in 2000 from $1,836,000 in 1999. Interest expense for 1999 includes the costs associated with $6,000,000 of term loans received in January 1999

9


and subsequently paid off in May 1999. The nine month decrease would be greater except for the minimum interest charges of $45,000 incurred during the first quarter for the Medical Graphics bank line of credit that expired by its terms on March 31, 2000.

Income From Discontinued Operations

    Income from discontinued operations of $22,000 shown on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes one-time net proceeds of $52,000 related to the sale of a patent partially offset by $30,000 of other expenses related to discontinued operations.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income from discontinued operations of $11,085,000 also includes the first quarter one-time gain of $11,696,000, net of taxes, related to the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights and sale of certain assets. The first and second quarter gains are partially offset by $593,000 of rental expenses associated with the building previously used for the ICD products. Other expenses related to discontinued operations aggregated $152,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

    Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 includes a one-time gain of $31,107,000 related to the settlement of a lawsuit and granting of licensing rights. This gain was offset by losses sustained from Angeion's discontinued ICD business aggregating $7,449,000 and $22,876,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

    In connection with its decision to discontinue the ICD products, the Company accrued rental expenses of $604,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 representing unrecoverable future rental obligations associated with the building used in conjunction with that business. The accrual represented management's estimate of the costs expected to be incurred until the building could be sublet. In May 2000 the Company was successful in subletting and negotiating the termination of all future liabilities for approximately 64% of that building space. Accordingly, the Company accrued the negotiated termination fee and updated its estimate of future rental costs which required recognition of additional rental expenses of $593,000 that were recorded during the first quarter of 2000. Management's estimates with respect to unrecoverable future rental obligations are considered forward-looking statements and are subject to fluctuations in the real estate market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Angeion Corporation had cash of $8,802,000 and working capital of $13,023,000 as of September 30, 2000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company used $1,419,000 in cash for continuing operations. Cash was provided by depreciation and amortization of $1,377,000, an $832,000 decrease in accounts receivable and $682,000 in lower inventory offset by cash used for decreases of $272,000 and $130,000 in accounts payable and employee compensation, respectively. In addition, the Company used $3,076,000 in cash for discontinued operations which primarily included $888,000 for building rental, $584,000 in transaction costs and $400,000 for final payroll expenses.

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated $8,010,000 in cash from investing activities, primarily through $9,293,000 in cash generated from discontinued operations, including a one-time payment of $9,000,000 for the non-exclusive licensing of patent rights to Medtronic, Inc. plus $293,000 from the sale of assets related to discontinued operations. Cash was used to purchase the assets of AeroSport, Inc. for $468,000, to purchase $256,000 of equipment and fixtures and to increase the Company's investment in proprietary software by $559,000.

    At September 30, 2000 the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company believes that its cash flows from operations together with its existing cash will be adequate to satisfy its liquidity and capital resource needs through 2000.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    The Company invests its cash in money market instruments or short-term investment grade securities. The Company believes that an increase of 100 basis points in prevailing interest rates would not have an adverse effect on its net income or financial position.

    The Company's product sales outside the United States are denominated in United States dollars. Accordingly, the Company believes its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation is minimal.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Note Holder Litigation

    As previously reported, on September 24, 1999, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee on behalf of holders of Angeion 71/2% Senior Convertible Notes due 2003 brought suit against the Company in Hennepin County District Court in the State of Minnesota. The lawsuit sought injunctive relief, a declaratory judgment, and breach of contract and related relief, alleging that certain actions taken by Angeion in 1998 and 1999 constituted a sale of all or substantially all of Angeion's assets, and thereby constituted a Designated Event under terms of the Indenture governing the Notes, thereby requiring repayment of the Notes.

    On November 30, 1999, the District Court denied the Trustee's request for a temporary injunction in this matter. On February 7, 2000, the District Court dismissed the suit against Angeion, ruling that these transactions did not constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Angeion, that no Designated Event had occurred, and that the Note holders were not entitled to prepayment of their Notes.

    The Trustee appealed both Orders to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. On August 15, 2000, the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the decision of the District Court denying injunctive relief, but ruled that the District Court determination that the transaction did not constitute a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Angeion was premature and reversed and remanded the case for further discovery on that issue. The Court of Appeals also stated that the sale or license of patent rights could constitute a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation.

    On September 14, 2000, Angeion petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court for review of the decision of the Court of Appeals. In an order dated October 25, 2000, Angeion's petition for further review was denied. Accordingly, the case will be returned to the District Court for further discovery.

Other Legal Matters

    The Company is also subject to certain claims and lawsuits that have been filed in the ordinary course of business. It is management's opinion that the settlement of all litigation would not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Nasdaq National Market Listing

    Angeion's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market. Under the rules for continued inclusion on Nasdaq National Market, the market value of public float of an issuer (shares held by persons other than directors, officers and ten percent beneficial holders at the closing bid price) must be at least $5,000,000. If an issuer fails to meet the continued inclusion criteria for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the issuer will be notified by Nasdaq and have a period of 90 calendar days to achieve compliance with the standard.

    The Company has been notified by Nasdaq that the market value of the public float has declined below $5,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days. If Angeion does not meet the criteria for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market by mid January 2001, Angeion would be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market. In that event, the Company intends to file an application with Nasdaq to have its common stock quoted on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market.

    Angeion believes that its stock is undervalued in the market place. Shareholder's equity at September 30, 2000 is over $2.50 per share and of that over $8,000,000 is represented in cash. In addition, the Company has previously announced that it is focusing its current efforts on the acquisition and development of future businesses that contribute to shareholder value.
