Summary

Datascope Corp. is a diversified medical device company that manufactures
and markets proprietary products for clinical health care markets in
interventional cardiology and radiology, cardiovascular and vascular surgery,
anesthesiology, emergency medicine and critical care. Our products are
distributed worldwide by direct sales employees and independent distributors.
Originally organized as a New York corporation in 1964, we reincorporated in
Delaware in 1989.

Below is a summary of our four product lines:

o Cardiac Assist. Datascope is the pioneer in intra-aortic balloon
pump and catheter therapy. The intra-aortic balloon system that we
manufacture is used principally to treat cardiac shock, acute heart
failure, irregular heart-rhythms, and in open-heart surgery, pre-operative
coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary angioplasty. We believe that
our cardiac assist products are complemented by our VasoSeal wound closure
line of collagen products.

o Patient Monitoring. We manufacture and market a broad line of
physiological monitors designed to provide for patient safety and
management of patient care. Our monitors are capable of continuous and
simultaneous measurement of many different vital signs. These monitors are
used in operating rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units,
post-anesthesia care units and recovery rooms, intensive care units, labor
and delivery rooms and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI units.

o Collagen Products. Our collagen products have revolutionized the
technology that is used to seal arterial puncture wounds to stop bleeding
after catheterization procedures. We manufacture and sell the VasoSeal
line of extravascular hemostasis devices. VasoSeal VHD was the first
vascular sealing device to be approved in the United States. The VasoSeal
devices provide for reduced time to hemostasis of the arterial puncture
wound, reduced time to ambulation, cost savings and increased patient
satisfaction. In addition, the Collagen Products Division manufactures
surgical hemostatic agents used to stop bleeding during surgery.

o Vascular Grafts. Our InterVascular subsidiary markets and sells a
proprietary line of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts and
patches for reconstructive vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Vascular
grafts are used to replace diseased arteries.

The following table sets forth the relative contribution of our four
product lines to total sales for the last three years:

Glossary: We have prepared this short glossary to help you understand our
product lines better.

Angiogram is a series of X-ray visualizations of the heart and blood vessels. A
radiopaque substance, that is, a material that does not allow the passage of
X-rays through it, is injected into a vein or artery, and X-ray pictures are
then taken in rapid succession. The series of pictures produced reveals the size
and shape of veins or arteries in organs and tissues. An angiogram is used as a
diagnostic tool with certain diseases; arteriosclerosis being an example.

Angioplasty is the reconstruction of blood vessels, usually damaged by
atherosclerosis. If the arteries in question are in the heart, a coronary bypass
operation may be recommended. However, the nonsurgical method of balloon
angioplasty is often employed, especially when only one vessel is blocked.

Arteriosclerosis, often called "hardening of the arteries," is an arterial
disorder characterized by a progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of
the arteries. This causes a decrease in or loss of blood circulation. The most
common form of arteriosclerosis is atherosclerosis, which is characterized by
the deposition of fatty substances in large and medium-sized arteries, such as
the arteries that lead to the heart and brain. Atherosclerosis and its
complications are a major cause of death in the United States. Heart and brain
disease are often the direct result of this accumulation of fatty substances
that impair the arteries' ability to nourish vital body organs.

Balloon Angioplasty is a nonsurgical method of clearing coronary and other
arteries, blocked by atherosclerotic plaque, fibrous and fatty deposits on the
walls of arteries. A catheter with a balloon-like tip is threaded up from the
arm or groin through the artery until it reaches the blocked area. The balloon
is then inflated, flattening the plaque and increasing the diameter of the blood
vessel opening. The arterial passage is thus widened.

Hemostasis is the stopping of bleeding, either by physiological properties of
coagulation and vasoconstriction or by surgical or mechanical means.

Below is a more detailed description of our product lines:

Cardiac Assist. We are the pioneer and leader in intra-aortic balloon
pumping, or cardiac assist systems. Cardiac assist systems are used in the
treatment of cardiac shock, acute heart failure, irregular heart rhythms, and in
open-heart surgery to stabilize the patient before and after an operation,
coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary angioplasty. As part of our cardiac
assist system, we produce a line of disposable intra-aortic balloon catheters.
The balloon catheter serves as the pumping device within the patient's aorta. We
introduced the first balloon catheter capable of insertion by puncturing the
skin. This innovation eliminated the need for surgical


4


insertion. As a result, the market for cardiac assist products expanded from
open-heart surgery to the interventional cardiology market. We continue to
advance our cardiac assist technology and to introduce new products.

Intra-aortic balloon therapy is used to stabilize heart function in
instances of cardiac shock, before and after open-heart surgery and angioplasty
and in the management of acute heart failure. Intra-aortic balloon therapy
increases the heart's output and the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart's
coronary arteries while reducing the heart muscle's workload and its oxygen
demand. Balloon therapy plays an important role in supporting high risk patients
undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and acute angioplasty intervention.
It is also used to relieve refractory unstable angina and to correct certain
instances of medically resistant irregular heart rhythms.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps

We manufacture and market the following intra-aortic balloon pumps:

Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheters

We manufacture a broad line of disposable intra-aortic balloon catheters
for use with intra-aortic balloon pumps.

Our Profile 8 Fr. intra-aortic balloon catheter, based on a co-lumen,
rather than co-axial design is the first catheter to allow the interventional
cardiologist to move from a coronary angioplasty/stent intervention to balloon
pumping using an 8 Fr. sheath. Prior to introduction of the Profile 8 Fr., there
was not an intra-aortic balloon catheter available that was small enough to fit
through a standard 8 Fr. (2.64 mm) sheath used for the angioplasty/stent
procedure. Use of the Profile 8 Fr. is expected to reduce possible vascular
complications, and to make balloon pumping insertion easier and more convenient.

The Profile 8 Fr. is the first true 8 Fr. intra-aortic balloon catheter.
The folded balloon membrane diameter is the same as the diameter of the catheter
itself. As a result, the Profile 8 Fr. reduces the risk of potential bleeding
complications after insertion. The Profile 8 Fr. can also be inserted without a
sheath. This combination of sheathless insertion and smaller sized catheters (8
Fr.) reduces the cross sectional area occupied by the catheter in the artery.
This reduction results in less obstruction to blood flow around the outside of
the catheter and a potential reduction in ischemic complications.

The Profile 8 Fr. was:

o Approved by Japanese authorities in March 1999

o Introduced in the United States in July 1998

o Approved by the FDA in May 1998

o Introduced in European Union in January 1998

In addition we manufacture a complete line of intra-aortic balloon
catheters to accommodate balloon pumping in both the adult and pediatric
population. Catheters available for use in the pediatric patient include the
2.5cc, 5cc, 7cc, 12cc and 20cc volumes. Our 9.5 Fr. intra-aortic balloon
catheters are available in 25cc, 34cc and 40cc volumes. A 50cc volume is also
available for patients who are taller than 6 feet.

Clinical Support. We provide the following clinical and educational
services to our customers:

o 24 hour clinical support via modem

o On-site training and education for all personnel involved with patient
care

o Comprehensive educational materials for hospital staff, patient and family


6


o Consultative services to help hospitals maximize the goals of IABP therapy
within the hospital network

o A comprehensive registry database to assist hospitals in tracking outcomes
of the patient receiving IABP therapy

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our cardiac assist products are sold
primarily to major hospitals with open-heart surgery and balloon angioplasty
facilities and to community hospitals with cardiac catheterization laboratories.
Recently, our cardiac assist products have been sold, to a growing degree, to
the broader range of community hospitals, where intra-aortic balloon pumping is
used for temporary support to the patient's heart prior to transport to a major
hospital center where definitive procedures, such as balloon angioplasty or open
heart surgery, can be conducted. Our main competitor for cardiac assist products
is Arrow International Inc.

Patient Monitoring. We manufacture and market a broad line of
physiological monitors designed to provide for patient safety and management of
patient care. Our monitors are capable of continuous and simultaneous
measurement of many different vital signs. Our monitors are used in operating
rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units, post-anesthesia care units and
recovery rooms, intensive care units, labor and delivery rooms and MRI, or
magnetic resonance imaging units.

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our patient monitors are used in hospital
operating rooms, emergency rooms, critical care units, post-anesthesia care
units and recovery rooms, intensive care units, labor and delivery rooms and MRI
units. The PASSPORT 2 will allow us to further penetrate into our primary
patient monitoring markets and also to enter new markets, such as the NICU
(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). The EXPERT monitor has allowed us to compete in
the estimated $350 million United States market for high-end patient monitoring
systems and will enable primary care hospitals to utilize our patient monitoring
products for most of their needs. In addition, we estimate that the United
States market for MRI monitors is $30 million annually.

A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our patient monitoring
products. Our major competitors are Agilent (formerly Hewlett Packard), General
Electric/Marquette, Spacelabs and Datex.

Collagen Products. Our vascular sealing products have revolutionized the
technology that is used to seal arterial punctures to stop bleeding after
catheterization procedures, such as balloon angioplasty, stenting and diagnostic
angiography.

We manufacture and market two main product lines: the VasoSeal(Registered)
VHD and the VasoSeal(Registered) ES (Extravascular Security); both vascular
hemostasis devices can rapidly seal arterial punctures after procedures
requiring catheterization. We also manufacture surgical hemostatic agents that
are used to stop bleeding during surgery.

VasoSeal VHD and VasoSeal ES (Vascular Hemostasis Devices)

We manufacture and market the VasoSeal VHD extravascular sealing device,
which was the first device of its kind to be approved in the United States, and
a second generation sealing device, known as VasoSeal ES. Prior to the
introduction of VasoSeal VHD in 1995, the only way to stop bleeding to seal
arterial puncture wounds after catheterization procedures was to supplement the
body's natural process of blood clot formation through the use of manual
compression or mechanical means such as a "C" clamp. The concept behind the
VasoSeal device is simple and it does not involve prolonged compression. A soft
collagen plug is placed between the puncture in the artery and the puncture
wound in the skin. Sealing is accomplished on the outside of the artery. By
design, no foreign objects remain inside of the artery. In addition, the use of
our VasoSeal products permits immediate removal of the sheath used in certain
(coronary and radiology) procedures, rather than leaving the sheath in place for
prolonged periods of time.

The VasoSeal ES device, introduced in the European Union in 1998 and the
United States in 1999, retains the proprietary, extravascular technology of our
original VasoSeal device. However, the VasoSeal ES device features a
"one-size-fits-all" (5 to 8 Fr.) design that eliminates the need to measure
skin-to-artery distance and the


9


hospital's need to stock multiple sizes of the device. These features are made
possible by a unique locator that provides an easier method for locating the
arterial puncture site. VasoSeal ES is also the first vascular sealing device to
have been approved by the FDA for use in patients with peripheral vascular
disease, which represents a significant portion of the total patient population
undergoing catherization procedures.

Advantages of VasoSeal

Using our VasoSeal devices has the following advantages:

o Reduces time to ambulation. Patients can be ambulated much faster,
compared to conventional manual or mechanical compression. We believe
faster ambulation should result in significant potential savings for
hospitals because patients can be moved to lower, less expensive levels of
care. Early ambulation also lowers the use of human and material
resources, which results in improved hospital efficiencies.

o Provides increased comfort and satisfaction for patients

o Frees up valuable recovery room beds

o Approved for use on patients diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease

o Eliminates the need for uncomfortable pressure devices, sand bags and
manual pressure holds

o Allows the majority of diagnostic angiography patients to be ambulated
safely within 1 hour after the procedure, compared with 4 to 6 hours under
standard clinical practice

o Results in improved patient management within hospitals

o Approved for deployment by healthcare professionals other than physicians
(nurses and technicians)

Clinical Education and Support

We offer health care providers the following services in connection with
their use of our VasoSeal devices:

o On-site training and education of all personnel involved with patient care

o 24 hour clinical support

o Comprehensive educational materials for the staff and patient

o Consultative services to help facilities identify and maximize the goals
and objectives of vascular sealing

Significant Developments

Since 1993 we have achieved the following regulatory and marketing
milestones in connection with our VasoSeal product line:

o In Japan, VasoSeal VHD was cleared for reimbursement for certain
interventional procedures by The Ministry of Health in January, 2000

o United States shipments of the VasoSeal ES device began in August 1999

o The VasoSeal ES device was approved by the FDA in December 1998

o In 1998, we began marketing the VasoSeal device in Germany, France and the
United Kingdom

o We received the "CE" mark for the VasoSeal device in 1997 and the VasoSeal
ES device in 1998, which permits us to sell our VasoSeal product line
throughout the European Union

o In 1994, we received regulatory approval to market the VasoSeal device in
Japan

o During calendar years 1993 through 1995, we received regulatory approvals
to market the VasoSeal device in Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain and The
Netherlands

o Pre-Market Approval (PMA) Application for the VasoSeal device approved by
the FDA in September, 1995


10


The VasoSeal VHD device has received the following additional approvals
from the FDA:

o Approval received in August 1999 to market the VasoSeal VHD for use in
patients with peripheral vascular disease.

o Approval received in September 1997 for deployment of VasoSeal by nurses
and technicians.

o Approval received in April 1997 for use after stent implantation.

o Approval received in December 1996 for use of VasoSeal in radiology
procedures.

o Approval received in August, 1996 for early ambulation in diagnostic
angiography and delayed sheath pull interventional patients.

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our VasoSeal line of products is sold to
both interventional cardiology and radiology labs, both in hospitals and
independent diagnostic facilities.

We believe that our VasoSeal products have created an entirely new market
for improved sealing and management of femoral arterial puncture wounds made
during catheterization procedures. In addition, our VasoSeal products can also
be used following stent implantation. Stents, which are devices that support the
arterial wall, are implanted in approximately 70% of coronary and peripheral
balloon angioplasty procedures.

In 1999, according to industry estimates, interventional cardiologists and
radiologists in the United States performed approximately 3,700,000 diagnostic
angiography procedures, and 930,000 balloon angioplasty/stent procedures. Based
on currently approved indications for use, the above procedures represent the
potential market for our VasoSeal products in the United States and are growing
at an estimated annual 11% rate for balloon angioplasty/stent and 6% rate for
diagnostic angiography.

A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with the VasoSeal VHD and VasoSeal
ES devices. Our competitors are Abbott Laboratories (Perclose), St. Jude
Medical, (Angio-Seal) Vascular Solutions, Inc. and Sutura, Inc. Other
competitive products are in development and may be introduced in the near
future.

Vascular Grafts. Our InterVascular Inc. subsidiary manufactures and
distributes a proprietary line of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts
and patches for reconstructive vascular and cardiovascular surgery. Vascular
grafts are used to replace and bypass diseased arteries.

Our vascular graft products and their significant features are:

InterGard(Registered) Knitted Products

o Collagen-coated graft for use in most vascular applications for
reconstruction of abdominal and peripheral arteries.

InterGard(Registered) Woven Products

o Designed primarily for use in thoracic aortic repair and open-heart
surgery

InterGard(Registered) Silver

o World's only anti-microbial vascular graft

o Designed to prevent post-operative infection of the graft, which occurs in
between 2% and 5% of cases, by using the broad spectrum, anti-infective
properties of


11


silver, which is released from the surface of the graft and onto
surrounding tissues following implantation

o Prosthetic graft infections are associated with high morbidity, including
amputation and high mortality

o Infection typically lengthens the hospital stay of a patient by up to 50
days, which usually results in a significant increase in cost

InterGard Ultra Thin(Trademark)

o The thinnest knitted polyester collagen coated graft on the market

o Designed specifically for use in the replacement of peripheral arteries

InterGard Heparin

o A heparin bonded collagen coated graft for replacement and bypass of
peripheral arteries

HemaCarotid Patches

o Collagen-coated patches used for repair of carotid and peripheral arteries

o HemaCarotid patches also manufactured in Ultra Thin version

Significant Developments

In the last few years, we have expanded our vascular graft product line:

o InterGard UltraThin was introduced in the United States during fiscal year
1999

o InterGard Silver received the CE mark in April 1999, for commercial sale
throughout the European Union

o InterGard Woven Products were introduced in the United States during
fiscal year 1999

o Approval of InterGard in both the United States and Japan in fiscal year
1998

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our vascular graft products are sold to
vascular and cardio-thoracic surgeons. Products are distributed exclusively in
the United States by Impra, a division of C.R. Bard, Inc.

A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our vascular graft products.
Our major competitors are Boston Scientific, Vascutek, Gore and C.R. Bard.

Life Science Research Products. In 1998, we entered the life science
research market by forming a new subsidiary, Genisphere Inc. Genisphere has
developed reagents based on a new, proprietary class of DNA molecules known as
3DNA(Registered), or Three Dimensional Nucleic Acid. A reagent is a substance
that is used to produce a chemical reaction so as to detect and measure other
substances. Our 3DNA-based reagents have been shown to increase the sensitivity
of nucleic acid detection and may also provide substantially greater sensitivity
for the detection of proteins than was previously possible using conventional
assays. Our first products were probes designed for use in conventional blot
assays. Genisphere had an agreement with Fisher Scientific LLC ("Fisher") that
provided Fisher with the non-exclusive right to distribute only Genisphere's
first generation blot products in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Genisphere
terminated its distribution agreement with Fisher effective in September 2000
because we are no longer actively promoting the first generation blot products.

Based on our new market entry strategy, our life science research products
will be primarily targeted at the research and development department of
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In this new target market, use of
new research technologies occurs much faster and potential customers are more
highly concentrated and easier to reach, when compared to the mature academic
research market, which was our initial target market. Our first products for
this market are detection systems designed to improve the reliability and
sensitivity of microarray experiments.


12


A number of companies, some of which are substantially larger than us,
manufacture and market products that compete with our life science research
products. Our major competitors include Amersham Pharmacia Biotech and
PerkinElmer Life Sciences Inc.

Research and Development

We invested approximately $24.9 million in 2000, $29.0 million in 1999 and
$30.1 million in 1998 on research and development of new products and the
improvement of our existing products. We have established relationships with
several teaching hospitals for the purpose of clinically evaluating our new
products. We also have consulting arrangements with physicians and scientists in
the areas of research, product development and clinical evaluation.

Marketing and Sales Organization

Our products are sold throughout the world through our own direct sales
organization and through independent distributors. Our worldwide sales
organization employs approximately 330 people, and consists of sales
representatives, sales managers, clinical education specialists and sales
support personnel. We have a worldwide clinical education staff, most of whom
are critical care and catheterization lab nurses. They conduct seminars and
provide in-service training to nurses and physicians on a continuing basis.

We provide service and maintenance to purchasers of our products under
warranty. After the warranty expires, we provide service and maintenance on a
contract basis. We employ service representatives in the United States and
Europe, and maintain service facilities in the United States, The Netherlands,
France, Germany and the United Kingdom. We conduct regional service seminars
throughout the United States for our customers and their biomedical engineers
and service technicians.

International sales as a percentage of our total sales were 29% in 2000,
28% in 1999 and 29% in 1998. We are continuing to expand our international
presence. We have subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy,
Belgium, Spain and The Netherlands. Because a portion of our international sales
are made in foreign currencies, we bear the risk of adverse changes in exchange
rates for such sales. Please see Notes 1, 2 and 8 to the Financial Statements
for additional information with respect to our international operations and
foreign currency exposures. Our sales are broadly based and no customer accounts
for more than 10% of our total sales

Competition

We believe that customers, primarily hospitals and other medical
institutions, choose among competing products on the basis of product
performance, features, price and service. In general, we believe price has
become an important factor in hospital purchasing decisions because of pressure
to cut costs. These pressures on hospitals result from Federal and State
regulations that limit reimbursement for services provided to Medicare and
Medicaid patients. Many companies, some of which are substantially larger than
us, are engaged in manufacturing competing products. We have identified our
major competitors in the above sections which described our product lines.

Suppliers

Our products are made of components which we manufacture or which are
usually available from existing and alternate sources of supply. We purchase
certain components from single or preferred sources of supply. Recently, we have
become more dependent on the use of original equipment manufacturers to supply
certain patient monitoring products such as the EXPERT monitor, the Gas Module
II and the MR monitor. Our use of single or preferred sources of supply
increases our exposure to price increases and production delays. In addition,
certain of our suppliers have been contemplating, and in a few cases have begun,
reducing or eliminating sales of their products to medical device manufacturers
like us. We are not able to predict whether or not additional suppliers will
withhold their products from medical device manufacturers, including us. To
date, we have not experienced any material disruption or delay in processing our
components.

Patents


13


We hold a number of United States and foreign patents. In addition, we
also have filed a number of patent applications that are currently pending. We
do not believe the expiration or invalidity of any of our patents would have a
material adverse effect on our business as currently conducted.

Employees

We currently employ approximately 1,230 people. We believe our
relationship with our employees is good.

Regulation

Our medical devices are subject to regulation by the FDA. In some cases,
they are also subject to regulation by state and foreign governments. The
Medical Device Amendment of 1976 and the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990, which
are amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938, require
manufacturers of medical devices to comply with certain controls that regulate
the composition, labeling, testing, manufacturing and distribution of medical
devices. FDA regulations known as "Current Good Manufacturing Practices for
Medical Devices" provide standards for the design, manufacture, packages,
labels, storage, installation and service of medical devices. Our manufacturing
and assembling facilities are subject to routine FDA inspections. The FDA can
also conduct investigations and evaluations of our products at its own
initiative or in response to customer complaints or reports of malfunctions. The
FDA also has the authority to require manufacturers to recall or correct
marketed products which it believes do not comply with the requirements of these
laws.

Under the Act, all medical devices are classified as Class I, Class II, or
Class III devices. In addition to the above requirements, Class II devices must
comply with pre-market notification, or 510(k), regulations and with performance
standards or special controls established by the FDA. Subject to certain
exceptions, a Class III device must receive pre-market approval from the FDA
before it can be commercially distributed in the United States. Our principal
products are designated as Class II and Class III devices.

We also receive inquiries from the FDA and other agencies. Sometimes, we
may disagree with positions of members of the staffs of those agencies. To date,
the resolutions of such disagreements with the staffs of the FDA and other
agencies have not resulted in material cost to us.

We are also subject to certain federal, state and local environmental
regulations. The cost of complying with these regulations has not been, and we
do not expect them to be, material to our operations.

We are also subject to laws and regulations concerning the reimbursement
of our customer's costs incurred in purchasing our medical devices and products.
Healthcare providers that purchase our medical devices and products generally
rely on third-party payors, including the Health Care Financing Administration
(HCFA) which administers Medicaid and Medicare, and other types of insurance
programs, to reimburse all or part of the cost of such devices. The laws and
regulations in this area are constantly changing and we are unable to predict
whether, and the extent to which, we may be affected in the future by
legislative or regulatory developments relating to the reimbursement of our
medical devices and products.

Health Care Reform

We believe that concerns about potential health care reform legislation
have slowed the domestic sales of medical devices generally. Our management
cannot predict at this time what impact, if any, the adoption by the United
States Congress of health care reform legislation would have on our business.

Item 2. Properties.

The following table contains information concerning our real property that
we own or lease and which we consider important to our business:

products.


We also lease office space in the United States, the United Kingdom,
France, Italy, Belgium, Spain and Germany. We believe that our facilities and
equipment are in good working condition and are adequate for our needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject, in the ordinary course of our business, to product
liability litigation. We believe we have meritorious defenses in all material
pending lawsuits. We also believe that we maintain adequate insurance against
any potential liability. We receive comments and recommendations with respect to
our products from the staff of the FDA and from other agencies on an on-going
basis. We may or may not agree with these comments and recommendations. However,
we are not a party to any formal regulatory administrative proceedings.

On July 21, 1999, we instituted patent infringement litigation relating to
a vascular sealing method against Vascular Solutions, Inc. ("Vascular
Solutions") in the United Stated District Court, District of Minnesota. In that
litigation, our complaint alleges that the manufacture, use and/or sale of
Vascular Solutions' Duett device, infringes our United States Patent 5,725,498.
We seek relief in the form of a preliminary and permanent injunction against the
marketing and/or sale of Vascular Solutions' Duett device.

In response to our complaint, Vascular Solutions filed an answer and
counterclaim. Their answer generally denied the allegations of our complaint and
their counterclaim claimed that we tortiously interfered and unfairly competed
by filing the complaint which impacted upon their ability to raise capital
through an initial public offering.

We believe that we will be successful in prosecuting our complaint and
defending against Vascular Solutions' counterclaim.

million or $1.50 per diluted share in fiscal 1999.


19


Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment in fiscal 2000
increased 8% to $221.1 million.

Cardiac Assist

Sales of Cardiac Assist products increased 6% to $116.9 million in fiscal
2000 due to the contribution of newly introduced products: the Profile 8 Fr.
intra-aortic balloon catheter and the System 98 balloon pump. Worldwide market
acceptance of both of these products continued strong.

Patient Monitoring

Patient Monitoring product sales increased 10% to a record $104.2 million,
due primarily to shipments of the new Passport 2(TM), the company's
next-generation portable bedside monitor, which was introduced in international
markets in the second quarter. The market launch of the Passport 2 in the U.S.
followed receipt of 510(k) clearance from FDA in the third quarter and resulted
in a strong ramp up of shipments in the fourth quarter. Sales of the new
Accutorr(R) Plus blood pressure monitor continued to grow at a double digit
rate.

Sales of the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment increased 22% in
fiscal 2000 to $77.7 million.

Collagen Products

Sales of VasoSeal(R) arterial puncture sealing devices increased 32% to a
record $55.8 million from $42.3 million last year. The business continued to
benefit from solid market growth, higher average selling prices and increased
sales force productivity. VasoSeal ES, the company's second generation product,
which was introduced worldwide in the first quarter, continued to grow strongly.
During the fourth quarter, VasoSeal ES sales rose to about 30% of worldwide
VasoSeal sales. Sales of hemostats were not significant.

Vascular Grafts

International sales of InterVascular Inc., which account for over 85% of
its total sales, increased 13% due to continued strong demand for new products,
particularly the InterGard(R) Silver, the world's first anti-microbial vascular
graft. Total sales of InterVascular rose only 2% to $20.9 million as the
company's U.S. distributor reduced inventories, resulting in a sharp decline in
domestic sales.

Genisphere (Life Science Research Products)

Sales of Genisphere products in fiscal 2000 were not significant. The
Genisphere business continued to implement its revised market entry strategy,
which was announced last year. Genisphere is now focusing on developing
3DNA-based products to improve the performance of newly-developing technologies
for drug discovery used by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Investment
spending for the development of the Genisphere business was approximately $1
million in fiscal 2000.

The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
consolidated sales by approximately $3.6 million in fiscal 2000 compared to
fiscal 1999.

Costs and Expenses

The gross profit percentage was 61.0% for fiscal 2000 compared to 61.4%
last year, with the benefit of increased sales of higher margin products being
offset by lower average selling prices for certain patient monitoring products.

Research and development (R&D) expenses declined 14% in fiscal 2000
compared to fiscal 1999 because of cost savings from the restructuring program
implemented in the second half of last year and lower development expenses in
the Patient Monitoring product line. As a percentage of sales R&D expenses were
8.3% in fiscal 2000 compared to 10.8% in fiscal 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 10% in fiscal
2000 compared to last year primarily as a result of the expansion of the U.S.
VasoSeal field force, increased selling and marketing expenses


20


related to higher sales, introduction of new products and higher corporate
expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 39.1% in fiscal 2000
compared to 39.3% in fiscal 1999.

The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
SG&A expenses by approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal
1999.

Interest Income

Interest income for fiscal 2000 of $3.7 million increased $0.3 million or
9% compared to fiscal 1999. The increased interest income in fiscal 2000 was
attributable to a 6% increase in the average investment portfolio from $62.8
million to $66.4 million and an increase in the average yield to 5.5% from 5.2%.

Income Taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 30.9% compared to
28.1% for fiscal 1999. The tax rate in both years was lower than the federal
statutory tax rate primarily as a result of:

o the tax benefit from the Foreign Sales Corporation

o earnings in an international tax exempt industrial zone

o interest income exempt from federal income tax.

The higher tax rate in fiscal 2000 compared to last year was due mainly to
the impact of higher earnings taxed at a higher statutory tax rate, expiration
of a tax exemption for a manufacturing subsidiary in Europe during fiscal 2000
and a lower R&D tax credit resulting from reduced R&D spending, partially offset
by the favorable impact from a higher state net operating loss carryforward
utilization.

We operate a manufacturing subsidiary in an industrial development zone in
Europe. Profits from those manufacturing activities were exempt from corporation
taxes until January 31, 2000. Alternative tax planning strategies have been
implemented to reduce the impact of the expiration of this tax exemption.

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $33.1 million or $2.06 per diluted share in fiscal 2000
compared to $21.4 million, or $1.36 per diluted share last year. The increase
was attributable to:

o sales growth.

o a more profitable product mix.

o cost savings from the restructuring program implemented in the
second half of fiscal 1999.

o Special Items - fiscal 2000 gain on sale of technology of $2.5
million after tax, compared to a special charge of $2.2 million for
restructuring in fiscal 1999.

Excluding the special items recorded in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, net
earnings were $30.6 million or $1.90 per diluted share compared to $23.6
million, or $1.50 per diluted share last year.

Foreign Currency

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to the
exposures that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our objective in
managing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to minimize net
earnings volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes. We enter into
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency
transactions which are primarily related to certain receivables denominated in
foreign currencies. Our hedging activities do not subject us to exchange rate
risk because gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the
liabilities and transactions being hedged. A portion of the net foreign
transaction gain or loss is reported in our statement of consolidated earnings
in cost of sales and the balance in other income and expense. We do not use
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.


21


As of June 30, 2000, we had a notional amount of $5.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in European
currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities
that do not exceed 12 months and require us to exchange foreign currencies for
U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to when the contract is signed.

Comparison of Results - Fiscal 1999 vs. Fiscal 1998

Sales

Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased 6% to
$205.6 million in fiscal 1999 compared to $194.4 million in fiscal 1998.

Cardiac Assist

Sales of Cardiac Assist products in fiscal 1999 increased 8% over fiscal
1998 to $110.6 million, a reversal of the negative or substantially flat
comparisons of the previous two years. Renewed sales growth is attributed to
worldwide customer response to our two major new Cardiac Assist products: the
Profile 8 Fr. intra-aortic balloon introduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1998 and the System 98 balloon pump introduced in the first quarter of fiscal
1999. Sales in the United States increased 8% over fiscal 1998 as the business
expanded its market share in each of the last three quarters of fiscal 1999.
International sales grew 6% over fiscal 1998 primarily attributable to increased
sales to the European direct markets.

Patient Monitoring

Sales of Patient Monitoring products increased 4% over fiscal 1998 to
$95.0 million . The increase was produced by higher sales of Visa Central
Station monitors and of several new patient monitoring products introduced in
fiscal 1998 including the Expert(TM) and Accutorr(R)Plus. While sales of
Passport monitors declined for the year because of lower sales during the first
nine months, Passport shipments increased in the fourth quarter approximately
22% (both units and dollar sales) driven, in part, by Year 2000 compliance
programs.

Sales of the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment increased 32% to
$63.5 million in fiscal 1999 compared to $48.0 million in fiscal 1998.

Collagen Products

Sales of VasoSeal devices rose 49% in fiscal 1999 to a record $42.3
million reflecting:

o vigorous growth of the arterial puncture sealing market

o excellent clinical performance of the VasoSeal(R)VHD product

o expansion of the direct sales and clinical support organization in
the United States.

VasoSeal(R)ES, our second generation product, was launched in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 and is expected to complement the VHD product and
strengthen VasoSeal's competitive position. Sales of hemostats were not
significant.

Vascular Grafts

Sales of InterVascular, Inc.'s vascular grafts in fiscal 1999 increased 9%
to $20.6 million. In the second half of the year, sales increased approximately
22% over the comparable six month period last year, driven by sales of new
products, including the Heparin coated graft, the improved woven graft and the
InterGard(R) Silver, the world's first anti-microbial vascular graft which was
launched in Europe during the fourth quarter. In addition, higher sales in
fiscal 1999 benefitted from shipments to InterVascular's U.S. distributor, which
more than doubled compared to the prior year.


22


Genisphere (Life Science Research Products)

There were no sales of Genisphere products in fiscal 1999 and 1998.
Spending for the development of the Genisphere business was $2.8 million in
fiscal 1999. Our decision to revise the market entry strategy for Genisphere's
proprietary 3DNA technology was based on the following conclusions:

o Our attempt to capture a significant share of the academic research
market for Southern and Northern blots, as originally planned, would
be too costly and time-consuming.

o Instead, we are now focusing on developing 3DNA-based products to
improve the performance of newly-developing technologies for drug
discovery used by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In this
market, use of new research technologies occurs much faster and
potential customers are more highly concentrated and easier to
reach.

o The first Genisphere products aimed at the drug discovery market are
fluorescent probes designed to improve the detection sensitivity and
reliability of microarrays. This is a new research tool whose use is
growing rapidly.

o Because the new market entry strategy does not contemplate near-term
sales until the fluorescent probe products are launched, we
suspended manufacturing of our 3DNA reagent and we are using our
existing inventory.

The foreign exchange rate effect of the weaker U.S. dollar compared to
major European currencies increased consolidated sales by approximately $0.3
million in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales remained unchanged at 38.6% in
fiscal 1999. The favorable effect of increased sales volume of higher margin
products and increased average selling prices for VasoSeal were offset by lower
average selling prices for older patient monitoring and cardiac assist products.

Research and development (R&D) expenses declined 4% in fiscal 1999
compared to fiscal 1998 because of lower development expenses in the Cardiac
Assist and Patient Monitoring product lines, partially offset by increased
expenses for the development of second and third generation VasoSeal products.
As a percentage of sales R&D expenses were 10.8% in fiscal 1999 compared to
12.4% in fiscal 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 13% in
fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 primarily as a result of the expansion of
the U.S. VasoSeal selling and clinical organization, filling open sales and
clinical positions in the patient monitoring and cardiac assist sales forces and
higher corporate expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 39.3% in
fiscal 1999 compared to 38.7% in fiscal 1998.

The weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies
increased SG&A expenses by approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 1999 compared to
fiscal 1998.

Restructuring Charge

During fiscal 1999 we recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $3.4
million, equivalent to $2.2 million after tax or $0.14 per diluted share. Based
on a review by senior management of all company operations in the first half of
fiscal 1999, a restructuring plan was approved to reduce our cost structure and
streamline certain operations. The cost reduction programs and related
restructuring charges consist of the following:

o Lease termination costs and asset writedowns related to the closing
of InterVascular's Clearwater, Florida leased manufacturing facility
in order to reduce costs and centralize operations in one expanded
facility in


23


La Ciotat, France.

The asset writedowns relate primarily to research and production equipment
and leasehold improvements that will be removed from service and disposed. The
assets have no salvage value.

o Employee severance expenses related to workforce reductions and
closing of the Clearwater facility. Approximately 70% of the 80
terminated employees left by June 30, 1999. The balance of the
employees received notification prior to year-end and will be
leaving over the next 15 months. The employee terminations were
primarily in administrative, R&D and manufacturing positions.

The annual cost savings for the workforce reduction is approximately $2.5
million. The workforce reduction did not have any significant impact on our
operations.

o Writedown of certain Genisphere fixed assets based on the revised
market entry strategy for the proprietary 3DNA technology. Under the
revised market entry strategy we will focus product development on
improving the performance of newly-developing technologies for drug
discovery used by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

No significant additional expenditures are anticipated to complete the
restructuring program.

Interest Income

Interest income was $3.3 million in fiscal 1999 compared to $5.0 million
in fiscal 1998. The 33% lower interest income in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal
1998 was attributable to a $21.8 million decrease in the average investment
portfolio and a decline in the average yield to 5.2% from 5.5%. The decline in
the average investment portfolio was caused primarily by:

o cash used for stock repurchase programs ($11.5 million)

o increased capital expenditures ($6.1 million), primarily
attributable to $7.2 million for the new Patient Monitoring facility
in Mahwah, New Jersey

o increased inventory to support new products ($4.4 million).

Income Taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for fiscal 1999 was 28.1% compared to
27.2% for fiscal 1998. The tax rate in both years was lower than the federal
statutory tax rate primarily as a result of:

o the tax benefit from the Foreign Sales Corporation

o earnings in an international tax exempt industrial zone

o interest income exempt from federal income tax.

The higher tax rate in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 was due mainly
to the impact of higher earnings taxed at a higher statutory tax rate and a
lower R&D tax credit resulting from reduced R&D spending.

We operate a manufacturing subsidiary in an industrial development zone in
Europe. Profits from those manufacturing activities were exempt from corporation
taxes until January 31, 2000.

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $21.4 million or $1.36 per diluted share in fiscal 1999
compared to $21.6 million or $1.32 per diluted share in fiscal 1998 with the
increase in earnings driven by the strong sales growth in all product lines.
Impacting net earnings in fiscal 1999 was a restructuring charge of $2.2 million
after tax or $0.14 per diluted share (see restructuring charge above). Excluding
restructuring charges, net earnings in fiscal 1999 were $23.6 million or $1.50
per diluted share compared to $21.6 million in the prior year, or $1.32 per
diluted share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2000 was $120.8 million compared to $125.4
million and the current ratio was 3.3:1 compared to 4.0:1 last year. Working
capital was impacted primarily by increases in accounts payable and accrued
compensation related to higher sales and earnings.

In fiscal 2000 cash provided by operations was $48.5 million, attributable
to higher net earnings, depreciation and amortization and increased accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $30.2
million, attributable to the purchase of $28.4 million of property, plant and
equipment, primarily for the new Patient Monitoring and Collagen Products
facilities in Mahwah, New Jersey, and a $2.5 million equity investment in AMG,
and an allied company. Net cash used in financing activities was $20.7 million,
attributable to stock repurchases of $24.2 million and $1.8 million dividends
paid, offset by $5.3 million cash received from exercise of stock options.

In fiscal 1999 cash provided by operations was $11.9 million, attributable
to net earnings and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by increased
accounts receivable and inventories. Net cash used in investing activities was
$0.1 million in fiscal 1999, attributable to the purchase of $14.3 million of
property, plant and equipment, including $7.2 million for the new Patient
Monitoring facility in Mahwah, New Jersey, and purchases of marketable
securities, offset by maturities of marketable securities. Cash used in
financing activities was $10.8 million in fiscal 1999, attributable to stock
repurchases of $13.0 million, partially offset by $2.2 million cash received
from exercise of stock options.

In fiscal 1998 cash provided by operations was $18.9 million. Cash was
used to purchase $8.2 million of equipment and to purchase $14.0 million of our
stock under the stock repurchase program.

The company purchased about 734,000 of its common shares for approximately
$24 million during fiscal year 2000 under both the $20 million share repurchase
program authorized in August 1998 and the $30 million share repurchase program
authorized in September, 1999. The August 1998 program was completed in
September 1999 and a balance of about $15 million remains available under the
existing share repurchase program.

We believe our financial resources are sufficient to meet our projected
cash requirements.

The moderate rate of current U.S. inflation has not significantly affected
the Company.

Year 2000 Readiness

Starting in fiscal 1998 we commenced a program to identify, remediate,
test and develop contingency plans for the Year 2000 issue in our computer
information systems (CIS), products, vendors, suppliers and customers. As of
August 11, 2000, we had not experienced any Year 2000 problems regarding our
computer information systems, products, vendors, suppliers or customers that
caused disruptions in any of our business operations. The cost to modify the
computer software programs used in our CIS was covered by existing service
agreements with the software vendors. The assessments, testing and verification
of our CIS products was performed by existing staff and no significant outside
resources were required. Despite the use of internal resources for the Year 2000
Program, there was no significant deferral of other CIS projects. We do not
anticipate that any remaining cost for the Year 2000 Program will be material to
our financial condition or results of operations.

Euro Conversion

As part of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), a single
currency (Euro) will replace the national currencies of most of the European
countries in which we conduct our business. The conversion rates between the
Euro and the participating nations' currencies have been fixed irrevocably as of
January 1, 1999. During a transition period from January 1, 1999 to December 31,
2001 parties may settle transactions using either Euro or the participating
country's national currency. The participating national currencies will be
removed from


25


circulation between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and replaced by Euro notes
and coinage. Full conversion of all affected country operations to Euro is
expected to be completed by the time national currencies are removed from
circulation.

We are currently involved in the phased conversion to the Euro and the
effects on revenues, costs and various business strategies are being assessed.
We are able to conduct business in both the Euro and national currencies on an
as needed basis, as required by the European Union. The cost of software and
business process conversion is not expected to be material to our financial
condition or results of operations.

Statement Concerning Forward Looking Information

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties because of the possibility that market conditions may change,
particularly as the result of competitive activity in the cardiac assist and
other markets served by the Company, the Company's ability to gain market
acceptance for new products and the Company's dependence on certain suppliers
for patient monitoring and VasoSeal products. Additional risks are the ability
of the Company to successfully introduce new products, continued demand for the
Company's products generally, the rapid and significant changes that
characterize the medical device industry and the ability to continue to respond
to such technological changes, the uncertain timing of regulatory approvals, as
well as other risks detailed from time to time in documents filed by Datascope
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. We have adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001, in accordance with the deferral provision in SFAS No. 137. The
adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on our financial
statements.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
We are required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. We
anticipate that the adoption of SAB 101 will not have a significant impact on
our financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to the
exposures that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Our objective in
managing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to minimize net
earnings volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes. We enter into
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency
transactions which are primarily related to certain intercompany receivables
denominated in foreign currencies. Our hedging activities do not subject us to
exchange rate risk because gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and
gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions being hedged. A portion of the
net foreign transaction gain or loss is reported in our statement of
consolidated earnings in cost of sales and the balance in other income and
expense. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

As of June 30, 2000, we had a notional amount of $5.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in European
currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities
that do not exceed 12 months and require us to exchange foreign currencies for
United States dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to when the contract is
signed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Datascope Corp.
Montvale, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Datascope Corp.
and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14 (a)
(2). These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Datascope Corp. and its
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

Datascope Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datascope
Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" - which may be referred to as our, us
or we). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments
which have original maturities less than 90 days.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in,
first-out basis, or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Asset and accumulated
depreciation accounts are relieved for dispositions, with resulting gains or
losses reflected in earnings. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
assets, or for leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries have been translated at
year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses have been translated at
average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting cumulative
translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

Taxes on Income

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue and all related costs, including warranty, when
product is shipped and title passes to the customer. For certain products where
we maintain consigned inventory at customer locations, revenue is recognized at
the time we are notified that the product has been used by the customer. Revenue
for service contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
We are required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. We
anticipate that the adoption of SAB 101 will not have a significant impact on
our financial statements.

(in thousands, except per share data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Earnings Per Share

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," we report basic earnings per share, which is based upon
weighted average common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share which
includes the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The recoverability of the excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired is evaluated by an analysis of operating results and consideration of
other significant events or changes in the business environment. If we believe
an impairment exists, the carrying amount of these assets is reduced to fair
value as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of."

Other Assets

a. Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair
value of net assets acquired and is amortized using the
straight-line method over periods not exceeding 20 years.
Unamortized goodwill was $6.74 million at June 30, 2000 and $5.21
million at June 30, 1999.

During the third quarter fiscal 2000 we purchased a 30% equity
interest in AMG GmbH, a private German distributor of proprietary
stent products, and in an allied development and manufacturing
company. The cost of the investment was $2.5 million, including $0.3
million of related expenses, and was paid in cash. Goodwill of $2.2
million related to the equity investment is being amortized over 15
years.

During fiscal 1999 we acquired Polyprobe, Inc. and Alpha Probe, Inc.
for $3.2 million. The acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting and were paid for by issuing 125,141
shares of our common stock plus $450 thousand in cash. Goodwill of
$3.1 million related to these purchases is being amortized over 10
years.

b. Capitalized Software Development - In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," costs
incurred in the research and development of new software products
and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as
incurred until technological feasibility has been established. After
technological feasibility is established, any additional software
development costs are capitalized and included in Other Assets. The
amount of capitalized software development costs was $5.9 million at
June 30, 2000 and $3.7 million at June 30, 1999. Software
development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over
the remaining estimated economic life of the product, not to exceed
5 years. Amortization of software development costs was $428
thousand in fiscal 2000 and $51 thousand in fiscal 1999.

The carrying value of capitalized software costs is regularly
reviewed by the Company, and a loss would be recognized if the net
realizable value falls below the unamortized cost.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

The presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified
to conform with the current year presentation.

2. Financial Instruments

The fair value of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to equal
their carrying value because of their short maturity.

Fair values of short-term investments are based upon quoted market prices,
including accrued interest, and approximate their carrying values due to their
short maturities. Fair values of non-current marketable securities are also
based upon quoted market prices and include accrued interest.

We determined that our investment portfolio will be held-to-maturity and
is therefore carried at amortized cost.

======= ===== ======= =======


We invest our excess cash primarily in U.S. Treasury and tax-exempt
securities. Since we hold all short- and long-term securities until maturity,
such investments are subject to little market risk. We have not incurred losses
related to these investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We have limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and do
not use them for trading purposes. We utilize foreign currency forward exchange
contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange impact of transaction gains or losses
relating to intercompany receivables.

As of June 30, 2000, we had a notional amount of $5.2 million of foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding, all of which were in European
currencies. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally have


F-9


Datascope Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share data)

2. Financial Instruments - (Continued)

maturities that do not exceed 12 months and require that we exchange foreign
currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to at inception of the
contracts. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are with large
international financial institutions.

None of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as
economic hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. We have adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001, in accordance with the deferral provision in SFAS No. 137. The
adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on our financial
statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base.
Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed. We
maintain reserves for potential credit losses and these losses have not exceeded
our expectations.

Costs incurred for the new Patient Monitoring and Collagen Products
facilities in Mahwah, New Jersey were $23.1 million in 2000 and $7.2 million in
1999. The Collagen Products facility was placed in service in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001. Costs of $9.4 million for this facility are included in land and
buildings.

======== ======== ========


Amounts are reflected in the preceding table based on the location of the
taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2000 we have not made a U.S. tax provision
for the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries. These earnings,
which approximated $40.53 million as of June 30, 2000 are expected, for the most
part, to be permanently reinvested outside of the United States.

We operate a manufacturing subsidiary in an industrial development zone in
Europe. Profits from those manufacturing activities were exempt from corporation
taxes until January 31, 2000. Alternative tax planning strategies have been
implemented to reduce the impact from the expiration of this tax exemption.

Reconciliations of the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax
rate follow:

5. Taxes on Income - (Continued)

Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial
statement accounting and tax accounting, known as "temporary differences." We
record the tax effect of these temporary differences as "deferred tax assets"
(generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future
periods) and "deferred tax liabilities" (generally items that we receive a tax
deduction for, but have not yet been recorded in the statement of consolidated
earnings).

The tax effects of the major items recorded as deferred tax assets and
liabilities are:

======= =======

The net current deferred tax assets have been included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets and the net non-current deferred tax assets have been
included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

A valuation allowance is recorded because some items recorded as deferred
tax assets may not be realizable. The valuation allowance reduces the deferred
tax assets to our best estimate of net deferred assets which more likely than
not will be realized.

The valuation allowance decreased by $585 thousand during fiscal 2000 due
to the net decrease of foreign and state tax loss carryforwards. The valuation
allowance of $1.46 million at June 30, 2000 was comprised of tax benefits of
$347 thousand of foreign tax loss carryforwards and $1.11 million of state tax
loss carryforwards. Benefits from foreign tax loss carryforwards of $125
thousand expire during the period 2001 through 2005 and $222 thousand may be
carried forward indefinitely. The benefits of state tax loss carryforwards
expire during the period 2002 through 2015.

7. Stock Options, Shareholder Rights and Stock Repurchase Plans

Stock Option Plans

We have two employee stock option plans covering 5,825,000 shares of
common stock as well as option agreements with certain consultants and members
of the board of directors. The plans provide that options may be granted at a
price of 100% of fair market value on date of grant, may be exercised in full or
in installments, at the discretion of the board of directors, and must be
exercised within ten years from date of grant.

A summary of activity under the stock option plans is as follows:

7. Stock Options, Shareholder Rights and Stock Repurchase Plans - (Continued)

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) in fiscal 1997. We
continue to account for our employee stock-based awards using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of our
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123 the fair value of option grants is
estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Had the fair value
method of accounting been applied to our stock option plans, pro forma net
income and earnings per share would have been reported as the following pro
forma amounts:

Shareholder Rights Plan

On May 22, 1991, we adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. The purpose of the
plan is to prevent us from being the target of an unsolicited tender offer or
unfriendly takeover. On May 16, 2000, we amended the Shareholder Rights Plan to
provide for (i) an extension of the final expiration date of the Shareholder
Rights Plan from June 2, 2001 to June 2, 2011 and (ii) a change in the purchase
price of the rights from $300.00 to $200.00 per one one-thousandths of a share
of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.

Under the plan, our common stockholders were issued one preferred stock
purchase right for each share of common stock owned by them. Until they are
redeemed by us or expire, each preferred stock purchase right entitles the
holder to purchase .001 share of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00
per share, at an exercise price of $200. We may redeem the preferred stock
purchase rights for $.01 per right at any time until after the date on which our
right to redeem them has expired. In addition, the preferred stock purchase
rights do not become exercisable until our right to redeem them has expired. Our
right to redeem the preferred stock purchase rights expires on the 10th business
day after the date of a public announcement that a person, or an acquiring
person, has acquired ownership of our stock representing 15 percent or more of
our shareholders' general voting power. Before an acquiring person acquires 50%
or more of our outstanding common stock, the plan provides that we may offer to
exchange the rights, in whole or in part, on the basis of an exchange ratio of
one share of common stock for each right. However, any rights owned by the
acquiring person and its affiliates and associates will be null and void and
cannot be exchanged for common stock.

The plan also provides that, after the date of a public announcement that
a person has acquired ownership of our stock representing 15 percent or more of
our shareholders' general voting power, generally each holder of a preferred
stock purchase right will have the right to purchase, at the exercise price, a
number of shares of our preferred stock having a market value equal to twice the
exercise price. The plan further provides that if certain other business
combinations occur, generally each holder of a preferred stock purchase right
will have the right to purchase, at the exercise price, a number of shares of
the acquiring person's common stock having a market value of twice the exercise
price.

Stock Repurchase Plans

On May 3, 1996, we announced a stock repurchase program for up to $20
million of our common stock to be repurchased when market conditions and other
relevant factors were favorable. We acquired 876,702 shares and completed the
program in fiscal 1999.

7. Stock Options, Shareholder Rights and Stock Repurchase Plans - (Continued)

We announced a second $20 million stock repurchase program on August 5,
1998. We acquired 832,286 shares and completed this program in fiscal 2000.

We announced a third stock repurchase program for $30 million on September
14, 1999. We acquired 440,266 shares through June 30, 2000 at a cost of $15.25
million.

Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

We have a compensation plan for non-employee directors, which became
effective in calendar year 1998. A summary of this plan is shown below:

o Any member of the board of directors who is not an employee or a
consultant to us or any of our divisions or subsidiaries will
receive an annual retainer (currently $24 thousand) payable in
shares of our common stock.

o Payment of the annual retainer is made in January for the prior
calendar year.

o A non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of the annual
retainer in which case the annual retainer will be paid entirely in
shares of our common stock that will be deposited into a director's
account established under the plan.

o In the case of a non-employee director who does not elect to defer
the retainer (or who has not filed a form of election), 39.6% of the
retainer will be paid in cash (to approximate current federal income
tax liability) and the balance in our common stock.

o Distribution of amounts in a director's account will be made when an
event of distribution occurs, in accordance with the method of
distribution stated in the form of election.

8. Segment Information

Our business is the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices.
We have two reportable segments, Cardiac Assist/Monitoring Products and Vascular
Grafts/Collagen Products.

The Cardiac Assist/Monitoring Products segment includes electronic
intra-aortic balloon pumps and catheters that are used in the treatment of
vascular disease and electronic physiological monitors that provide for patient
safety and management of patient care.

The Vascular Graft/Collagen Products segment includes a proprietary line
of knitted and woven polyester vascular grafts and patches for reconstructive
vascular and cardiovascular surgery and extravascular hemostasis devices, which
are used to seal arterial puncture wounds to stop bleeding after cardiovascular
catheterization procedures.

We have aggregated our product lines into two segments based on similar
manufacturing processes, distribution channels, regulatory environments and
customers. Management evaluates the revenue and profitability performance of
each of our product lines to make operating and strategic decisions. We have no
intersegment revenue.

Supplemental Retirement Plans

We have noncontributory, unfunded supplemental defined benefit retirement
plans for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lawrence Saper, and
certain current and former key officers. Life insurance has been purchased to
recover a substantial portion of the net after tax cost for these supplemental
retirement plans. The assumptions used to develop the supplemental pension cost
and the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation are reviewed
annually.

A summary of Mr. Saper's supplemental pension plan is as follows:

o Mr. Saper is entitled to receive a lifetime pension of up to 60% of his
average earnings for the three-year period in which Mr. Saper's
compensation was greatest of the ten years immediately preceding his
retirement.

o The supplementary retirement benefit will not be less than the value of
the benefit that would have been payable had his retirement occurred at
age 65.

o The plan provides survivor benefits in the form of a $10 million life
insurance policy, maintained pursuant to a split-dollar agreement between
us, Mr. Saper and a trust for the benefit of Mr. Saper's family.

The supplemental pension expense for Mr. Saper recognized in the
consolidated financial statements was $304 thousand in 2000, $148 thousand in
1999 and $526 thousand in 1998.

The supplemental retirement plan covering certain current and former key
officers provides a pension at age 65, for up to 15 years, based on a
predetermined earnings level for the five-year period prior to retirement. The
supplemental retirement benefit for one current officer provides a lifetime
fixed dollar benefit commencing at the later of age 55 or date of retirement.
The supplemental pension expense for these executives recognized in the
consolidated financial statements was $101 thousand in 2000, $17 thousand in
1999 and $182 thousand in 1998.

Defined Contribution Plans

We have defined contribution savings and supplemental retirement plans
that cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain international employees.
The plans provide an incentive to employees to save and invest regularly for
their retirement. In the U.S. we maintain a 401(k) savings and supplemental
retirement plan for eligible domestic employees. The contributions are based on
matching 50% of participating employees' contributions up to a maximum of 6% of
compensation. The provisions for the international defined contribution plans
vary by local country. The total expense under these plans was $1.65 million for
2000, $1.53 million for 1999 and $1.33 million for 1998.

Total rent expense amounted to approximately $5.0 million in 2000, $4.54
million in 1999 and $4.16 million in 1998.

Litigation

We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We
believe we have meritorious defenses in all material pending lawsuits and that
the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
results of operations.

Credit Arrangements

We have lines of credit totaling $100.4 million, with interest payable at
each lender's prime rate. We did not have any borrowings at June 30, 2000 or
June 30, 1999. Of the total available, $25 million expires in November 2000, $25
million expires in December 2000 and $25 million expires in August 2001. These
lines are renewable annually at the option of the banks, and we plan to renew
them. We also have $25.4 million in lines of credit with no expiration date.

11. Gain on Sale of Technology

In the third quarter of fiscal 2000 we announced the sale of technology
from a discontinued R&D project at our InterVascular, Inc. subsidiary. The sale
resulted in an after-tax gain of $2.5 million.

12. Restructuring Charge

In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1999, we recorded pre-tax
restructuring charges totaling $3.43 million, or $0.14 per share, related to
cost reduction programs. The pre-tax restructuring charge recorded in the third
quarter was $864 thousand or $0.04 per share and the restructuring charge
recorded in the fourth quarter was $2.57 million or $0.10 per share. The cost
reduction programs and related restructuring charges consist of the following:

o Lease termination costs and asset writedowns related to the closing
of InterVascular's Clearwater, Florida leased manufacturing
facility. The knitting and weaving operations currently housed in
the Clearwater facility will be moved to InterVascular's expanded
manufacturing facility in La Ciotat, France in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001.

The asset writedowns relate primarily to research and production
equipment and leasehold improvements that will be removed from
service and disposed. The assets have no salvage value.

12. Restructuring Charge - (Continued)

o Employee severance expenses related to workforce reductions and
closing of the Clearwater facility. Approximately 70% of the 80
terminated employees left by June 30, 1999, and 90% by June 30,
2000. The balance of the employees will be leaving over the next 6
months. The employee terminations were primarily in administrative,
R&D and manufacturing positions.

o Writedown of certain Genisphere fixed assets based on our revised
market entry strategy for the 3DNA technology. The asset writedowns
were primarily for manufacturing equipment that was removed from
service.

A summary of the restructuring charges is shown below:

The remaining liability is for severance for employees who will be leaving
over the next six months and certain Clearwater, Florida plant closure costs. No
additional expenditures are expected to complete the restructuring program.
