The Plan Administrator
Datascope Corp.
401(k) Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan
14 Philips Parkway
Montvale, New Jersey 07645

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Datascope Corp. 401(k) Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the 2007 audit of the basic 2007 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic 2007 financial statements taken as a whole.

401(K) SAVINGS AND SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

(1) Description of Plan

          The following description of the Datascope Corp. 401(k) Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

     (a) General

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers all eligible employees. The Plan was established by Datascope Corp. (the “Company”) to provide retirement income to its employees. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

     (b) Eligibility

          Effective April 1, 2007, each employee of the Company who is classified as a full-time employee is automatically enrolled in the Plan commencing on the first day of the calendar month following 30 days of continuous employment. The automatic enrollment contribution rate is set at 2% of eligible compensation. Participants have the option of changing the contribution rate or opting out of the automatic enrollment prior to the commencement date. Prior to April 1, 2007, full-time employees were eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the calendar month following 30 days of continuous employment. A minimum age of twenty-one is required to become an active member.

          All other employees of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan after one year of service and 1,000 or more hours of service.

          Effective April 1, 2007, participating employees will be eligible for any Company matching contributions on the date they begin making pre-tax contributions. Prior to this date, participants were eligible for any matching contributions after one year of service.

     (c) Contributions

          Each participant may authorize the Company to reduce their compensation by any whole percentage ranging from 1% to 50%, subject to certain Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limitations. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company matched 50% of participating employee contributions up to a maximum of 6% of compensation. Matching contributions for each plan year are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

4

(1) Description of Plan (Continued)

     (c) Contributions (Continued)

          The Plan allows for catch-up contributions whereby participants age 50 and over may contribute to the Plan additional amounts above the IRS dollar limits for the year. The maximum catch-up contribution for 2006 and 2007 was $5,000 and will remain at $5,000 in 2008, subject to cost-of-living increases.

     (d) Participant Accounts

          Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. The participant directs the investment of his or her entire account. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ non-vested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions. Such forfeited amounts that were used to reduce Company contributions during 2007 and 2006 were $130,534 and $399,950, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the forfeited balances were $274,247 and $244,504, respectively.

     (e) Vesting

          Participants are immediately 100% vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service as follows:

	Vested
Years of Service	Percentage
Less than 2 years		0	%
After 2 years, but less than 3		25	%
After 3 years, but less than 4		50	%
After 4 years, but less than 5		75	%
After 5 or more years		100	%

     (f) Participant Loans

          Participants may borrow from their vested accrued benefit a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loans must be repaid in equal installments consisting of principal and interest over a period not to exceed five years, unless the loan is used to purchase a primary residence, in which case the maximum term is fifteen years.

5

(1) Description of Plan (Continued)

     (f) Participant Loans (Continued)

          The loans are secured by the participant’s vested accrued benefit. Loans that exceed five years bear interest at a rate equal to the rate then being charged for FHA residential mortgages; interest for loans of five years or less are based on a rate of 1% above the prime commercial lending rate. Outstanding loans as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 bear interest at rates of 5% to 9.5%. The loans mature between January 2008 and August 2022 for those outstanding at December 31, 2007 and between February 2007 and August 2019 for those outstanding at December 31, 2006.

     (g) Payment of Benefits

          The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. For participants with account balances that exceed $5,000, the participant may choose to either withdraw their balance or continue to maintain the balance in the Plan.

          A participant with a balance greater than $1,000, but below $5,000 can elect a roll over or receive the distribution directly. If the participant does not make an election, then the distribution will be paid in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Benefits Committee of the Company. The participant’s rollover may be reduced by any reasonable costs to establish such account.

          Participants with balances of $1,000 or less will be paid their entire vested account in a single-sum payment unless they elect otherwise.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a) Basis of Accounting

          The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

6

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     (b) Recent Accounting Pronouncement

          In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines “fair value” as: the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy, and a modification of the long-standing accounting presumption that the transaction price of an asset or liability equals its initial fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Plan’s fiscal year 2008 beginning January 1, 2008). The Plan does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits.

     (c) Use of Estimates

          The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, additions to and deductions from net assets. Such estimates relate primarily to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

     (d) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

          The Plan’s investments, which consist of mutual funds, units of participation of common/collective trusts, Datascope Corp. common stock, and a pooled separate account, are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds and units of participation of common/collective trusts are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices of the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price at year-end. The Plan’s investment in the pooled separate account is valued at fair value as described in Note 3. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

          Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     (e) Payment of Benefits

          Benefits are recorded when paid.

     (f) Payment of Administrative Expenses

          It is expected that the Company will provide direct payment of certain administrative expenses of the Plan.

3) Investment Contract with Insurance Company

          The Plan is a party to a fully benefit-responsive investment contract with New York Life. New York Life maintains the contributions in a pooled separate account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. New York Life guarantees principal and accumulated interest on the contract. In accordance with FSP AAG-INV-1, the contract is included in the statement of net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2007 and 2006 at contract discontinuance value which management believes is equivalent to fair value. The contract discontinuance value is the amount that New York Life is contractually obligated to pay under the contract if the Plan were to terminate its interest in the contract without twelve months’ advance written notice. The adjustment from fair value to contract value for the investment contract is based on contract value as reported to the Plan by New York Life. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus guaranteed accumulated interest, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

          The fair value of the investment contract at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $19,220,581 and $17,066,602, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, the average yield was 5.28% and 4.52%, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, the average crediting interest rate was 4.77% and 4.04%, respectively. The crediting interest rate as determined by New York Life may not be less than zero. The interest rate is reviewed not less frequently than quarterly nor more frequently than daily.

          Certain events, such as the premature termination of the contract by the Plan or the termination of the Plan, would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with New York Life. The Plan administrator believes the occurrence of such events that would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with Plan participants is not probable.

          All earnings related to the New York Life Insurance Company Anchor Account are reflected as interest income.

(5) Plan Termination

          Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

(6) Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

          The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements at December 31, 2007 and 2006 to Schedule H of Form 5500:

	2007			2006
Net Assets Available for Benefits
Per the Financial Statements	$	95,380,814		$	89,090,032
Less: Contributions Receivable		(358,626	)		(612,282	)

Less: Contributions Receivable at December 31, 2007		(358,626	)
Add: Contributions Receivable at December 31, 2006		612,282
Total Contributions Income per Schedule H of Form 5500	$	8,286,613

(7) Tax Status of Plan

          The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on October 5, 2007, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan as then designed was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the applicable sections of the IRC, the Plan qualifies for tax-exempt status, and therefore, no provisions for income taxes have been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

(8) Related-Party Transactions

          A certain plan investment is a pooled separate account managed by New York Life. New York Life is the trustee as defined by the Plan and therefore, transactions with respect to this investment qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, certain plan investments are shares of Datascope Corp. common stock. Datascope Corp. is the sponsor of the Plan and therefore, transactions with respect to Datascope Corp. common stock also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

10

(9) Subsequent Event

          On May 14, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its Patient Monitoring business to a subsidiary of Mindray Medical International Ltd. (“Mindray”) with an effective date of May 1, 2008. In connection with the sale and in accordance with the applicable sections of the IRC relating to partial plan terminations, all of the employees transferred to Mindray that were participants in the Plan became fully vested in the Company’s matching contributions upon closing. In addition, in June 2008, the full account balances for those Plan participants were transferred directly to a savings plan sponsored by Mindray. The value of the transferred account balances was approximately $27 million.
