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 a leader and pioneer in intra-aortic balloon
(IAB) therapy (counterpulsation) and products including IAB pumps and
catheters. The intra-aortic balloon system is used for the treatment of
high-risk cardiac conditions resulting from ischemic heart disease and
heart failure. Patients experiencing acute coronary syndromes such as
acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, and unstable angina may
require IAB therapy to support and stabilize their cardiac status. IAB
therapy is also used for high-risk patients who require revascularization
procedures such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass procedures
including both on-pump and off-pump (OPCAB) techniques.

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 and related technology are used
to seal arterial puncture wounds and to stop bleeding after
catheterization procedures. We manufacture and sell the VasoSeal line of
extravascular hemostasis devices. VasoSeal(R) VHD was the first vascular
sealing device 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. InterVascular also
distributes peripheral vascular stents. Stents are used to treat vascular
disease non-surgically.

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

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 such as arteriosclerosis. Also
known as cardiac catheterization, this is considered the most accurate test
for ischemic heart disease.

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 those 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, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA), 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 or dilated. Balloon
angioplasty has evolved to include direct coronary stenting in greater than
70% of angioplasty procedures to prevent recoil or abrupt closure of the
artery post dilatation.

Coronary Stenting provides mechanical scaffolding that eliminates abrupt
vessel closure or recoil associated with balloon angioplasty.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure for bypassing
coronary artery blockage. This procedure can be performed on-pump (using
cardiopulmonary bypass) or off-pump (without cardiopulmonary bypass).

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 a leader and pioneer in intra-aortic balloon therapy
(counterpulsation) and products. Counterpulsation therapy is used to support
and stabilize heart function. This 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. Intra-aortic
balloons and pumps are used in counterpulsation therapy for high-risk cardiac
patients suffering from ischemic heart disease and heart failure. These
products and therapy may be used before or during CABG or PTCA procedures for
hemodynamic support. We produce a line of disposable intra-aortic balloon
catheters that serve as the pumping device within the patient's aorta. We
introduced the first balloon catheter capable of percutaneous insertion. This
innovation eliminated the need for surgical insertion. As

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

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 in support of counterpulsation therapy.

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 cardiac clinician,
such as the interventional cardiologist or cardiovascular surgeon, to utilize
counterpulsation therapy 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. reduces possible
vascular complications when compared to larger catheters.

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. 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



5


o Approved by the FDA in May 1998

o Introduced in the European Union in January 1998

In addition, we manufacture a complete line of intra-aortic balloon
catheters to accommodate counterpulsation therapy in both the adult and
pediatric population. We are also the sole manufacturer of catheters available
for pediatric patients in 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 Telemedicine via our PC-IABP products which offers remote pump monitoring

o 24 hour clinical support

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

o Comprehensive educational materials for hospital staff, patient and
family

counterpulsation therapy within the hospital network

o The Benchmark(R) Registry--a comprehensive registry database to assist
hospitals worldwide in tracking and comparing outcomes of
counterpulsation therapy administered to their patients. This enables our
customers to demonstrate and measure the clinical benefits of the
therapy.

Markets, Sales and Competition. Our cardiac assist products are sold
primarily to major hospitals with open-heart surgery and balloon angioplasty
facilities and 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 counterpulsation therapy 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 allows 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 PatientNet Central Station network has
allowed us to take advantage of the recent FCC decision to open a dedicated
hospital telemetry bandwidth operating in the 608-614MHz range.

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 Technologies (owned by Philips
Electronics), 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 VHD and the
VasoSeal ES (Extravascular Security); both vascular hemostasis devices can
rapidly seal arterial punctures after procedures


8


requiring catheterization. We also manufacture surgical hemostatic agents that
are used to stop bleeding during surgery.

VasoSeal(R) VHD and VasoSeal(R) 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 permit 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 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 catheterization procedures.

Advantages of VasoSeal

Using our VasoSeal devices has the following advantages:

o Reduces time to ambulation. Certain 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



9


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) for the VasoSeal device approved by the FDA in
September 1995

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 a 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 over 70% of coronary and peripheral balloon
angioplasty procedures in the United States.

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. (Duett), Sutura, Inc.
(Super Stitch) and Marine Polymer Technologies (Syvek Patch).

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. InterVascular also
began distribution of peripheral stents in Europe in late fiscal 2001. Fiscal
2001 sales of stents were not material.

Our vascular graft products and their significant features are:

InterGard(R) Knitted Products

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

InterGard(R) Woven Products

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

InterGard(R) 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 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


10


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(TM)

o The thinnest knitted polyester collagen coated graft on the market

o Designed specifically for use in the replacement of peripheral arteries

InterGard(R) 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 Heparin received FDA approval in January 2001

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 cardiothoracic surgeons. Products are distributed exclusively in
the United States by Impra, a subsidiary 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 and Gore.

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(R), or Three Dimensional Nucleic Acid. A reagent is a biologically or
chemically active substance. Genisphere's reagents are used to detect and
measure other biological 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 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.

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,
PerkinElmer Life Sciences Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc. and Clontech
Laboratories Inc., a subsidiary of Becton Dickinson & Co.

Research and Development

We invested approximately $24.4 million in 2001, $24.4 million in 2000 and
$28.5 million in 1999 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.

Our 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 400 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.
Our sales are broadly based and no customer accounts for more than 10% of our
total sales.

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 2001, 29%
in 2000 and 28% in 1999. 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 9
to the Financial Statements for additional information with respect to our
international operations and foreign currency exposures.

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. Our use of
single or preferred sources of supply increases our exposure to price
increases and production delays. In the second quarter of fiscal 2001, our
sole supplier of printed circuit boards could not produce the quantities
needed to support planned requirements for Passport 2 patient monitors and
System 98 balloon pumps. During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, this supply
issue was resolved and a second source of supply was added. 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. Except as stated above, to date, we have not experienced any
material disruption or delay in processing our components.

Patents

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.


12


Employees

We currently employ approximately 1,350 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 affected by laws and regulations concerning the reimbursement of
our customers' 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 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) 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.

On August 1, 2000, CMS established a product-specific reimbursement system
for devices used in the hospital outpatient setting that provided for
reimbursement for VasoSeal ES and, as of October 1, 2000, for VasoSeal VHD.
Effective April 1, 2001, CMS replaced the product-specific reimbursement
system with a new system that provides reimbursement for specific types of
devices, including vascular closure devices. VasoSeal VHD and ES devices are
eligible for reimbursement under this new system as well. These special
payments may continue until January 1, 2003 when CMS will place the products
into appropriate clinical Ambulatory Payment Classifications.

Certain of our products are regulated by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) because they contain collagen from cattle. On August 14,
2001, the USDA issued new interim regulations restricting the importation into
the United States of collagen-containing products processed in certain
countries, including France and The Netherlands. We are currently assessing
these very new interim regulations and their potential impact, if any, on our
business.

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 will have on our business.

We also lease office space in the United States, England, 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. in the United Stated
District Court, District of Minnesota. In that litigation, our



14


complaint alleges that the manufacture, use and/or sale of Vascular Solutions'
Duett device, infringes our United States Patent No. 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. In March 2001, their counterclaim
was dismissed. We believe that we will be successful in prosecuting our
complaint.

In response to a Declaratory Judgment action filed by us on June 29, 2000
against Arrow International Inc. (Arrow) in the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey, Arrow counterclaimed against us on October 18,
2000 alleging that we were infringing on its United States Patent for intra-
aortic balloon (IAB) insertion without the use of a sheath. The matter is now
in the discovery stage and we have filed a motion for summary judgment, based
on a re-capture argument, requesting that the Court declare Arrow's patent for
IAB insertion without the use of a sheath invalid. Arrow filed a brief in
response to the motion, a hearing on the motion was had on July 23, 2001 and
the parties are awaiting the Court's decision on the summary judgment motion.
We believe that we will be successful in this action.

In December 2000, an action was filed in New York Supreme Court against us
and our board of directors entitled David B. Shaev v. Lawrence Saper, Alan B.
Abramson, David Altschiller, Joseph Grayzel, M.D., George Heller, Arno Nash
and Datascope Corp. The complaint alleges, inter alia, common law claims for
breach of the duty of loyalty and breach of fiduciary duty for approving
allegedly excessive compensation to defendant Saper. By agreement, the time to
respond to this complaint has been extended. We believe that the claims in
this action are wholly without merit and intend to defend this action
vigorously.

In August 2001, an action was filed in United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey against us and our board of directors entitled David B.
Shaev v. Lawrence Saper, Alan B. Abramson, David Altschiller, Joseph Grayzel,
M.D., George Heller, Arno Nash and Datascope Corp. The Complaint alleges,
inter alia, that the directors breached their duties of good faith and loyalty
and that our October 27, 2000 proxy statement omitted material facts, was
coercive and contained materially false and misleading statements. According
to the Complaint, the proxy statement (i) was false insofar as it stated that
we would receive a deduction for federal income tax purposes for Mr. Saper's
bonus compensation, (ii) failed to disclose reasonable estimates of the
bonuses payable and the number of persons eligible under the Management
Incentive Plan and (iii) coercive insofar as it stated that we might grant Mr.
Saper a bonus if the Plan were not approved by the stockholders. The
Complaint also alleges that the defendant directors (i) were negligent since
they knew or should have known that the representations concerning the
deductibility of Mr. Saper's bonus were false and misleading and (ii) breached
their duties of loyalty and good faith by coercing the stockholders to vote
for the plan and by approving the allegedly excessive payments to Mr. Saper.
We believe that the claims in this action are wholly without merit and intend
to defend this action vigorously.

In September 1999, we terminated a distributor agreement with Biomed S.A.
The agreement provided for the distribution of our cardiac products in Spain.
In addition, we also started to market our cardiac products in Spain for
ourselves. In July 2000, Biomed brought an action against us in Spain seeking
to have the Spanish Court declare Biomed an exclusive distributor of our
products. In October 2000, the Spanish Court ruled that Biomed was not an
exclusive distributor of our products in Spain. Subsequent to that ruling,
Biomed commenced a second action against us seeking damages and we are
presently preparing our answer to that action. We believe, as in the first
action, we will be successful in this action filed by Biomed.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2001.

Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment in fiscal 2001
increased 3% to $229.7 million.

Cardiac Assist

Sales of Cardiac Assist products increased 1% to $119.0 million. Sales of
intra-aortic balloon pumps increased 5% as a result of strong customer demand
for the System 98XT, our advanced performance balloon pump launched in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001. Sales of balloon catheters decreased 1% while
unit sales increased slightly. The Profile 8 Fr. catheter continued its strong
growth and market penetration, accounting for 59% of worldwide balloon
catheter unit sales compared to 53% last year.

Patient Monitoring

Patient Monitoring sales rose 5% to $110.7 million driven by strong growth
of the Passport 2 portable bedside monitor and Accutorr(R) Plus noninvasive
blood pressure monitor. Also contributing to growth were increased sales of
Masimo pulse oximetry sensors and new Central Station Monitoring Systems,
which utilize recently introduced telemetry that operates across the full
range of FCC protected medical bands.

Sales of the Collagen Products / Vascular Grafts segment increased 5% in
fiscal 2001 to $82.1 million.

Collagen Products

Sales of VasoSeal(R) arterial puncture sealing devices increased 3% to $57.8
million, which reflects a decline in U.S. market share, due to intensified
competition and slower than anticipated growth in productivity from our newly
expanded field sales organization. We expanded the field sales organization,
comprised of sales representatives and clinical specialists, by 35% in the
second half of fiscal 2001.

Vascular Grafts

InterVascular sales increased 10% to $23.3 million, reflecting continued
international demand for InterGard(R) Silver, the world's first anti-microbial
vascular graft, and a favorable comparison to the depressed prior year when
our U.S. distributor reduced inventory.

Genisphere

In fiscal 2001, Genisphere continued to successfully pursue its marketing
strategy, to target major academic institutions and the research and
development department of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and
sales reached $1 million compared to $0.3 million last year. Investment
spending for the development of the Genisphere business was approximately $1
million in fiscal 2001.

The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
consolidated sales by approximately $4.5 million in fiscal 2001 compared to
fiscal 2000.

Costs and Expenses

The gross profit percentage was 60.0% for fiscal 2001 compared to 60.3% last
year, with the slight decrease primarily attributable to lower average selling
prices for certain patient monitoring products.

Research and development (R&D) expenses remained unchanged at $24.4 million
in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000, with increased development expenses
for the VasoSeal and Cardiac Assist product lines being offset by lower
development expenses in the Patient Monitoring product line. As a percentage
of sales, R&D expenses were 7.8% in fiscal 2001 compared to 8.1% in fiscal
2000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 1% in fiscal
2001 compared to last year primarily as a result of higher selling and
marketing expenses for the Patient Monitoring and Cardiac Assist product lines
and the VasoSeal field organization expansion, partially offset by lower
corporate expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 37.6% in
fiscal 2001 compared to 38.7% in fiscal 2000.

The stronger U.S. dollar compared to major European currencies decreased
SG&A expenses by approximately $2.9 million in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal
2000.



20


Our 30% equity investment in the AMG stent business continued to be modestly
accretive in fiscal 2001. We have an option to purchase the remaining 70% of
AMG and its allied development and manufacturing company until January 30,
2002. In the second half of fiscal 2001, we initiated distribution of AMG's
proprietary coronary and peripheral stents primarily in France. Sales during
fiscal 2001 were not material.

Interest Income

Interest income for fiscal 2001 of $3.7 million was unchanged compared to
fiscal 2000. The average investment portfolio decreased by $6.3 million which
was offset by an increase in the average yield to 6.0% from 5.5%.

Other Income

During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded a pretax gain of $593
thousand, or $0.02 per share after tax, from the sale of an underutilized
facility in Oakland, New Jersey.

Income Taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate was 30.9% for both fiscal 2001 and
fiscal 2000. 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 income exempt from foreign corporate taxes (resulting from a tax
exemption for an international manufacturing facility until January 31,
2000, and the implementation of an alternative tax planning strategy in
fiscal 2001)

o interest income exempt from federal income taxes

o net effect of research and development credits

Net Earnings

Net earnings were $34.2 million or $2.20 per diluted share in fiscal 2001
compared to $33.1 million or $2.06 per diluted share last year. Excluding the
special items recorded in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, net earnings were $33.9
million or $2.18 per diluted share compared to $30.6 million or $1.90 per
diluted share last year. The increased earnings in fiscal 2001 was
attributable to higher gross margin from increased sales and tight expense
control.

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.

As of June 30, 2001, we had a notional amount of $7.4 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 2000 vs. Fiscal 1999

Sales

Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment in fiscal 2000
increased 7% to $223.1 million.

Cardiac Assist

Sales of Cardiac Assist products increased 6% to $117.9 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 $105.2 million,
due primarily to shipments of the new Passport(R) 2, our 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 $78.0 million.

Collagen Products

Sales of VasoSeal(R) arterial puncture sealing devices increased 32% to a
record $56.3 million from $42.8 million in fiscal 1999. The business continued
to benefit from solid market growth, higher average selling prices and
increased sales force productivity. VasoSeal ES, our 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 $21.0 million as
our 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 $0.3 million. The
Genisphere business continued to implement its revised market entry strategy,
which was announced in fiscal 1999. 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 60.3% for fiscal 2000 compared to 60.7% in
fiscal 1999, 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 fiscal 1999 and lower development expenses
in the Patient Monitoring product line. As a percentage of sales, R&D expenses
were 8.1% in fiscal 2000 compared to 10.5% in fiscal 1999.



22


Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 10% in fiscal
2000 compared to fiscal 1999 primarily as a result of the expansion of the
U.S. VasoSeal field force, increased selling and marketing expenses related to
higher sales, introduction of new products and higher corporate expenses. As a
percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 38.7% in fiscal 2000 compared to 39.0%
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 fiscal 1999 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 in fiscal 1999. 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 in fiscal 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2001 was $129.7 million compared to $120.3
million and the current ratio was 3.5:1 compared to 3.2:1 last year. Working
capital was impacted primarily by: 1) increased accounts receivable, as a
result of higher sales and an increase in days sales outstanding, and 2)
increased inventory to support new product introductions and for critical
patient monitoring and cardiac assist components.

In fiscal 2001 cash provided by operations was $13.0 million, primarily
attributable to net earnings and depreciation and amortization, partially
offset by increased inventories and accounts receivable. Net cash provided by
investing activities was $8.9 million, primarily attributable to maturities of
marketable securities of $68.3 million, partially offset by purchases of
marketable securities of $49.8 million and the purchase of $10.7



23


million of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing
activities was $19.8 million, attributable to stock repurchases of $21.8
million and $2.1 million dividends paid, partially offset by $4.0 million cash
received from exercise of stock options.

Working capital at June 30, 2000 was $120.3 million compared to $125.3
million and the current ratio was 3.2:1 compared to 4.0:1 in fiscal 1999.
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 $49.4 million, attributable
to 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 $11.8 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.

We purchased about 564,000 of our common shares for approximately $21.8
million during fiscal year 2001. In May 2001, Datascope announced its fourth
share buyback program for $40 million.

We believe that cash generated from operations and cash available under our
credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements.

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

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 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 not expected to
be material. 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 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many important
factors. Many of these important factors cannot be predicted or quantified and
are outside of our control, including the possibility that market conditions
may change, particularly as the result of competitive activity in the Cardiac
Assist, Vascular Sealing and other markets served by us, our dependence on
certain suppliers for Patient Monitoring, Cardiac Assist and VasoSeal
products, and our ability to gain market acceptance for new products.
Additional risks are our ability to successfully introduce new products,
continued demand for our products generally, the rapid and



24


significant changes that characterize the medical device industry and the
ability to continue to respond to such changes, the uncertain timing of
regulatory approvals, changes in Medicare reimbursement for medical products
particularly VasoSeal, as well as other risks detailed in documents filed by
Datascope with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue 00-10 ("EITF 00-10"), "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees
and Costs," in the fourth quarter of 2001. Application of this consensus
resulted in the reclassification of prior period financial results to reflect
shipping and handling fees as revenue and shipping and handling costs as cost
of sales. These amounts were previously recorded in selling, general and
administrative expense. The reclassifications had no effect on operating or
net income.

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 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 adopted SAB 101 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a significant impact on our financial
statements.

In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," ("SFAS No. 142"). This statement provides guidance on how to account
for existing goodwill and intangible assets from completed acquisitions.
Goodwill and certain other intangible assets will no longer be amortized and
will be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 is effective for
fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001, with early adoption
permitted for companies with a fiscal year beginning after March 15, 2001, for
which quarterly financial statements have not been issued. We are currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard.

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, 2001, we had a notional amount of $7.4 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, 2001 and 2000, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. 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, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2001 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
(Dollars 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.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue 00-10 ("EITF 00-10"), "Accounting for Shipping and Handling
Fees and Costs," in the fourth quarter of 2001. Application of this consensus
resulted in the reclassification of prior period financial results to reflect
shipping and handling fees as revenue and shipping and handling costs as cost
of sales. These amounts were previously recorded in selling, general and
administrative expense. The reclassifications had no effect on operating or
net income.

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 adopted SAB 101 in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a significant impact on our financial
statements.

DATASCOPE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Dollars 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.

In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," ("SFAS No. 142"). This statement provides guidance
on how to account for existing goodwill and intangible assets from
completed acquisitions. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets
will no longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least
annually. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after
December 15, 2001, with early adoption permitted for companies with a
fiscal year beginning after March 15, 2001, for which quarterly
financial statements have not been issued. We are currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of the new standard.

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. Software
development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
remaining estimated economic life of the product, not to exceed 5 years.

c. Internal Use Capitalized Computer Software Costs--The Company
capitalizes costs incurred to develop internal use computer software
during the application development stage, in accordance with the AICPA
Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Internal use computer
software costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining
estimated economic life of the software.

Amortization of capitalized software costs was $857 thousand in fiscal 2001,
$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


F-7


DATASCOPE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)


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.

As of June 30, 2001, marketable securities were classified as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


2. Financial Instruments--(Continued)


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. Changes in the fair value of the
derivative financial instruments are recorded in the statement of earnings.

As of June 30, 2001, we had a notional amount of $7.4 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 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.

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 adopted SFAS No. 133 as of July 1, 2000, 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.

Depreciation expense was $12.4 million in 2001, $11.9 million in 2000 and
$11.6 million in 1999. We estimate the useful life of machinery and equipment
at 5 years, furniture at 8 years and buildings at 40 years.

Costs incurred for the new Patient Monitoring and Collagen Products
facilities in Mahwah, New Jersey were $3.9 million in 2001 and $23.1 million
in 2000. The Collagen Products facility was placed in service in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 and the Patient Monitoring facility was placed in
service in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.

5. Other Assets
Other Assets at June 30, 2001 and 2000 were comprised of the following:

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.

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



Amounts are reflected in the preceding table based on the location of the
taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2001 we have not made a U.S. tax provision
for the unremitted earnings of our international subsidiaries. These earnings,
which approximated $48.3 million as of June 30, 2001 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:

6. 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 (liabilities)
assets have been included in other liabilities and other assets, respectively,
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 increased by $104 thousand during fiscal 2001 due to
the net increase of foreign and state tax loss carryforwards. The valuation
allowance of $1.56 million at June 30, 2001 was comprised of tax benefits of
$463 thousand of foreign tax loss carryforwards and $1.10 million of state tax
loss carryforwards. Benefits from foreign tax loss carryforwards of $63
thousand expire in 2008 and $400 thousand may be carried forward indefinitely.
The benefits of state tax loss carryforwards expire during the period 2003
through 2019.

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:

At June 30, 2001 there were 2,461,299 shares of common stock reserved for
stock options.

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:

This pro forma impact only takes into account options granted since July 1,

The fair values of option grants were determined using the Black-Scholes

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. We acquired 876,702 shares and completed the
program in fiscal 1999.

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.

On September 14, 1999, we announced a third stock repurchase program for $30
million. We acquired 841,287 shares and completed the program in fiscal 2001.

A fourth stock repurchase program for $40 million was announced on May 16,
2001. We acquired 163,166 shares through June 30, 2001 at a cost of $7.0
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.

9. Segment Information

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

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

We have aggregated our product lines into two segments based on similar
manufacturing processes, distribution channels, regulatory environments and

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 $385 thousand in 2001, $304 thousand in
2000 and $148 thousand in 1999.

The supplemental retirement plan covering certain 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 two current officers provides a lifetime retirement
benefit. The supplemental pension expense for these executives recognized in
the consolidated financial statements was $129 thousand in 2001, $101 thousand
in 2000 and $17 thousand in 1999.

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 2001, $1.68 million for 2000 and $1.58 million for 1999.

======



Total rent expense amounted to approximately $3.52 million in 2001, $5.0
million in 2000 and $4.54 million in 1999.

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, 2001 or
June 30, 2000. Of the total available, $25 million expires in November 2001,
$25 million expires in December 2001 and $25 million expires in March 2002.
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.

12. 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.

13. 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 housed in the Clearwater facility were
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 were 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 98% of the 80 terminated
employees left by June 30, 2001. 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:
