See notes to consolidated financial statements 3 Datascope Corp. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited, in thousands except per share data) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datascope Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" - which may be referred to as "our", "us" or "we"). These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information, and with the instructions to Form 10Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Stock-Based Compensation We continue to account for our employee stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this opinion, 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. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS No. 123"), as amended, the fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to our stock-based compensation. These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effects on net earnings in future years since options generally vest over several years and additional awards may be made each year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Stock-Based Compensation (Continued) For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the weighted average fair values of options granted for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $12.35 and $9.07, and for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $11.72 and $9.58, respectively. The fair values of options granted were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Three and Six Months Ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2003 2002 -------------- ------------- Dividend yield 0.59% 0.72% Volatility 33% 34% Risk-free interest rate 3.40% 2.93% Expected life 5.2 Years 5.2 Years Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003) "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106," ("SFAS No. 132 (revised)"). This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 132 (revised) retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132, which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. SFAS No. 132 (revised) is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Based on these effective dates, we will provide the additional interim disclosures beginning with our third quarter ending March 31, 2004 and the annual disclosures beginning with our fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. 2.

6 Datascope Corp. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited, in thousands except per share data) 6. Segment Information Our business is the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices. We have two reportable segments, Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products and Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts. The Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment includes electronic intra-aortic balloon pumps and catheters that are used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and electronic physiological monitors that provide for patient safety and management of patient care. The Interventional 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 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 customers. Management evaluates the revenue and profitability performance of each of our product lines to make operating and strategic decisions. We have no intersegment revenue. Net sales and operating earnings are shown below.

(b) Operating earnings for Corporate and Other for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 includes a gain on legal settlement of $3.0 million. 7 Datascope Corp. and Subsidiaries Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to the corresponding periods last year. Net Sales Net sales of $86.8 million in the second quarter and $163.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 increased 5% and 6%, compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2003, respectively. Sales of the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment were $70.9 million compared to $64.0 million in the second quarter and $130.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to $118.1 million last year. Cardiac Assist product sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 12% to $32.3 million, reflecting continued higher sales of intra-aortic balloon (IAB) catheters and pumps and favorable foreign exchange translation. Increased sales of IABs were primarily attributable to strong international sales and increased purchases by the Company's Japanese distributor. Last year, the distributor reduced IAB purchases in the first and second quarters to reduce inventory, as previously reported. Sales of the premium-priced Fidelity(TM) 8Fr. IAB catheter continued to grow, accounting for 77% of total IAB catheter sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Higher sales of pumps in the second quarter reflected the first full quarter of sales of the new CS100(TM) intra-aortic balloon pump, Datascope's first fully automatic pump, which was launched globally in September 2003 and has rapidly replaced the Company's 98XT model. In the first six months of fiscal 2004 sales of Cardiac Assist products were $60.8 million compared to $54.3 million last year. Sales of patient monitoring products exceeded sales of the prior year's second quarter, rising 10% to $38.6 million. The second quarter was driven by increased sales of bedside monitors, including sales of the recently introduced Spectrum(TM) and Trio(TM) monitors. Higher sales of wireless central monitoring systems, Masimo SET(R)(1) pulse oximetry sensors, the Anestar(TM) anesthesia delivery system and favorable foreign exchange translation also contributed to sales growth. Sales of patient monitoring products in the first six months of fiscal 2004 were $69.9 million compared to $63.8 million last year. Sales of the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment were $15.6 million compared to $18.2 million in the second quarter and $32.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to $35.8 million last year. ------------- (1) Masimo SET is a registered trademark of Masimo Corporation. 8 Sales of the Interventional Products (IP) division declined to $8.4 million in the second quarter compared to $10.9 million last year. As disclosed in the first quarter 10-Q, a production yield problem reduced the quantities of Elite(TM) available for sale in the second quarter. The Elite product is the Company's new vascular closure device. Late in the second quarter, the Company began producing sufficient quantities to support the marketing effort for Elite. In the first six months of fiscal 2004 sales of VasoSeal products were $17.9 million compared to $21.7 million last year. During the second quarter, the IP division began shipments of Safeguard(TM), an innovative pressure dressing designed to maintain hemostasis after manual compression following arterial catheterization procedures. Safeguard competes in an estimated $50 million annual market for devices that assist manual compression. The Company is encouraged by the early positive market response to the Safeguard product. Datascope plans to enter the dialysis access market with the ProLumen(TM) thrombectomy device. Thrombectomy is the process of removing blood clots from blocked dialysis access sites. ProLumen, which is designed to quickly and effectively clear clotted grafts, will compete in an estimated $37 million annual market, principally in the U.S. Datascope expects that the IP division direct sales force will be able to introduce ProLumen to the market quickly and efficiently because thrombectomy procedures are performed primarily by interventional radiologists in the U.S., a current and well-established sales call point. The ProLumen device has FDA clearance, an application for CE mark has been submitted and the Company plans to launch the ProLumen in the U.S. in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Sales of InterVascular, Inc.'s products were $7.2 million compared to $7.3 million last year. Lower sales in parts of Europe and to our distributor in Japan were approximately offset by favorable foreign exchange translation. Regulatory clearance to market InterGard(R) Silver in the U.S. is still pending as the FDA has requested longer-term follow-up data and additional information from our clinical study, which we expect to submit during the current quarter. In the first six months of fiscal 2004, sales of InterVascular products were $14.0 million compared to $13.7 million last year, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange translation. Sales of Genisphere products of $0.3 million in the second quarter and $0.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, were unchanged from last year. Genisphere continued to pursue its marketing strategy, to target major academic institutions and the research and development department of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The weaker U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and the British Pound increased total sales by approximately $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and $3.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004 ($1.4 million and $2.2 million for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment and $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment for the second quarter and first six month periods, respectively). 9 Gross Profit (Net Sales Less Cost of Sales) The gross profit percentage was 58.3% for the second quarter and 58.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to 58.0% and 58.2% for the corresponding periods last year. The modest increase in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to an improved gross margin percentage in the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment, as a result of cost reduction programs and higher average selling prices. Partially offsetting the above was the effect of a less favorable sales mix and costs associated with the Elite production yield problem. Research and Development (R&D) We continued our companywide focus on new product development and improvements of existing products in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2004. Spending on R&D reflects investment in new product development programs, sustaining R&D on existing products, regulatory compliance and clinical evaluations. R&D expenses increased 11% to $8.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, equivalent to 9.3% of sales compared to $7.3 million or 8.8% of sales in the second quarter last year. R&D expenses increased 7% to $15.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, equivalent to 9.3% of sales compared to $14.3 million, or 9.3% of sales for the same period last year. R&D expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased 4% to $5.0 million in the second quarter and 2% to $9.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, with the increases primarily attributable to filling open positions. R&D expenses for the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment increased 22% to $2.3 million in the second quarter and 16% to $4.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, with the increases primarily due to new product development projects in InterVascular. The balance of consolidated R&D is in Corporate and Other and amounted to $0.7 million in the second quarter and $1.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A) SG&A expenses increased 4% to $34.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, or 40.2% of sales compared to $33.5 million or 40.6% of sales in the second quarter last year. In the first six months of fiscal 2004, SG&A expenses increased 6% to $67.0 million, or 40.9% of sales, compared to $63.3 million, or 41.0% of sales, for the same period last year. SG&A expenses for the Cardiac Assist / Monitoring Products segment increased 9% to $23.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and 9% to $44.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004, with the increases primarily attributable to higher selling expenses as a result of filling open positions and higher marketing expenses related to new product introductions. SG&A expenses for the Interventional Products / Vascular Grafts segment decreased 1% to $11.4 million in the second quarter and decreased 3% to $22.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004, with the declines primarily due to lower selling and marketing expenses in Interventional Products. Segment SG&A expenses include fixed corporate G&A charges that are offset in Corporate and Other. 10 The weaker U.S. dollar compared to the Euro and the British Pound increased SG&A expenses by approximately $1.4 million in the second quarter and $2.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004. Gain on Legal Settlement On July 21, 1999, Datascope Corp. instituted patent infringement litigation relating to a vascular sealing method against Vascular Solutions, Inc. in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota. In that litigation, Datascope's complaint alleged that the manufacture, use and/or sale of Vascular Solutions' Duett device infringed Datascope's United States Patent No. 5,725,498. At the end of November 2002, the parties settled the matter. Pursuant to the settlement, Vascular Solutions paid Datascope $3.75 million and Datascope granted Vascular Solutions a limited, non-exclusive patent license. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded an after-tax gain on the settlement, net of related legal expenses, of $1.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share. Other Income and Expense Interest income was $0.5 million in the second quarter compared to $0.3 million last year. The increase in interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was primarily the result of a higher average portfolio balance ($65.8 million vs. $46.1 million), partially offset by a decrease in the average yield from 3.2% to 2.6%. Interest income was $0.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year with the increase due to similar reasons discussed above. Income Taxes In the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2004, the consolidated effective tax rate was 32.0% for both periods, compared to 33.5% and 33.0% for the corresponding periods last year. The effect on the consolidated tax rate of the gain on legal settlement in fiscal 2003 was 1.5% and 1.0% for the second quarter and first six months last year, respectively. Net Earnings Net earnings were $5.6 million or $0.37 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to $7.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for the same period last year. Net earnings in the first six months of fiscal 2004 were $9.8 million or $0.65 per diluted share compared to $10.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share last year. The decreased earnings in the fiscal 2004 periods primarily reflect the positive impact on earnings last year of the gain on legal settlement ($1.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share), increased R&D and SG&A expenses in fiscal 2004, as discussed above, partially offset by an increased gross margin from the higher sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital was $140.9 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $131.4 million at June 30, 2003. The current ratio was unchanged at 3.8:1. The increase in working capital was primarily the result of an increase in current assets ($13.5 million). In the first six months of fiscal 2004, cash provided by operations was $15.6 million compared to $19.1 million last year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower earnings and an increase in inventories and other current assets. 11 At December 31, 2003, approximately one-half of our cash and marketable investments were held by our European subsidiaries. These funds are subject to U.S. tax upon repatriation to the United States. Net cash used in investing activities was $8.2 million attributable to purchases of investments of $38.2 million and the purchase of $2.0 million of property, plant and equipment, offset by $32.0 million for maturities of investments. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.5 million due to $3.7 million dividends paid and stock repurchases of $4.3 million (about 124,000 shares), offset by stock option activity of $3.5 million. On August 18, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share and a special dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on October 1, 2003 to shareholders of record on September 2, 2003. The special dividend amounted to $2.2 million. On December 16, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share payable on January 15, 2004 to stockholders of record as of December 26, 2003. We believe that our existing cash balances, future cash generated from operations and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital and capital investment needs. The moderate rate of current U.S. inflation has not significantly affected the Company. Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 our control, including the possibility that the IP division direct sales force will not be able to introduce ProLumen to the market quickly and efficiently, market conditions may change, particularly as the result of competitive activity in markets served by the Company, the Company's dependence on certain unaffiliated suppliers (including single source manufacturers) for Patient Monitoring, Cardiac Assist and VasoSeal products and the Company's ability to gain market acceptance for new products. Additional risks are the ability of the Company to successfully introduce new products, continued demand for the Company's products generally, rapid and significant changes that characterize the medical device industry and the ability to continue to respond to such changes, the uncertain timing of regulatory approvals, as well as other risks detailed in documents filed by Datascope with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 12 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (revised 2003) "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106," ("SFAS No. 132 (revised)"). This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 132 (revised) retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132, which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. SFAS No. 132 (revised) is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Based on these effective dates, we will provide the additional interim disclosures beginning with our third quarter ending March 31, 2004 and the annual disclosures beginning with our fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. 13 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Due to the global nature of our operations, including the sale and purchase of products in foreign currencies, 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 consolidated statement of earnings in cost of sales and the balance in other income and expense. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. None of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as economic hedges of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no foreign currency transaction gains or losses were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. As of December 31, 2003, we had a notional amount of $8.3 million of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding, which were in Euros and British pounds. 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. Item 4. Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that would significantly affect the internal controls over financial reporting during the Registrant's most recent fiscal quarter. 14 Part II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. 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. The Shaev litigation is described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. In this matter, discovery is still in progress and mediation has been scheduled for March 2004. The Sanmina - SCI litigation is described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. In this matter, discovery is still in progress and mediation has been scheduled for April 2004. On December 2, 2003, a former Datascope employee, Michael Barile, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Bergen County, against Datascope Corp. and various John Does seeking, inter alia, indemnification from the Company of approximately $1 million in legal fees and expenses he allegedly incurred in defending a criminal action brought against him by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland, as well as additional damages Mr. Barile alleges he suffered as a result of such prosecution. In response, the Company has filed an answer denying the allegations of the complaint and has brought counterclaims against Mr. Barile seeking damages resulting from Mr. Barile's improper conduct as an employee of Datascope. The Company believes it has meritorious counterclaims and meritorious defenses to Mr. Barile's claims and intends to defend and prosecute this action vigorously. Although Mr. Barile has yet to reply to the Company's counterclaims and no discovery has begun, the Court has notified the Company that it will be requiring that the parties engage in mediation in the near future. 15 Item 4.
