ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

      The Company has developed cryosurgical systems called the CMS AccuProbe® System (the “AccuProbe”), the CMS Blizzard™ Series (the “Blizzard”), and the Cryo-Lite® Series (the “Cryo-Lite”). The AccuProbe, the Blizzard and the Cryo-Lite are sophisticated cryosurgical devices designed to freeze and destroy diseased tissue. They are particularly applicable where diseased tissue cannot be removed surgically or where surgery is likely to have extensive adverse side effects. The Company plans to utilize its AccuProbe, Blizzard and Cryo-Lite in the various fields for which the devices have received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”).

The Company completed initial development of the AccuProbe in 1992 and has marketed this system to hospitals, surgeons and radiologists in the United States and abroad. In addition to the AccuProbe, the Company sells single use probes and other disposables used with the AccuProbe and offers service warranty contracts. Although the Cryo-Lite received FDA clearance in July 1997 and the Blizzard received FDA clearance in February 1998, no Blizzard or Cryo-Lite devices have been shipped for commercial sale.

The Company is also attempting to develop and commercialize a series of hypothermic preservative solutions (the “Solutions”). Some of these Solutions are designed to maintain the fluid and chemical balances of human organs while body temperature is significantly lowered. Other Solutions have been developed that may be utilized in preserving certain cells and tissues utilized by scientists in research laboratory and academic institutions. All of these Solutions continue to be tested in laboratory settings. Commercialization of certain Solutions is presently being pursued for those markets not subject to FDA regulations through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”), formed in 1998. At present, development of the Solutions for human organ transplantation is in the laboratory and preclinical stage. The Company is seeking funds from various government and non-government granting agencies as well as third party investors to continue the development of the Solutions.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $313,180 and $789,129, compared to $233,906 and $633,063, for the comparable periods of the prior year, respectively. This represents an increase of 34% and 25%, respectively. The increase in revenues in these periods reflects an increase in the number of CMS AccuProbe® Systems and accessories sold during this period.

Gross profit for all products for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $161,395 or 51% of revenues and $375,297 or 48% of revenues, compared to gross profits of $99,752, or 43% of revenues and $365,483 or 58% of revenues for the comparable periods of the prior year, respectively. In 2001, gross profit as a percent of revenues decreased in the 1st quarter and increased in the 2nd quarter compared to the prior year periods due to changes in production volume and expenses, and the mix of product sales.

Research and development expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $628,460 and $1,077,945, compared to $450,155 and $636,780, for the comparable period of the prior year, respectively. This represents increases of 40% and 69% during the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Research and development expenses increased as a

7


result of expenditures for clinical trials related to the Hypothermosol™ solutions and other expenses related to the development of the 800 series Accuprobe system.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $506,569 and $968,686, compared to $55,750 and $91,185 for the comparable periods of the prior year, respectively. This represents increases of 809% and 962% from the prior year periods, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased over the comparable period of the previous year due to an increase in the number of marketing and sales personnel, an increase in sales commissions, and an increase in trade shows, travel and related expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $382,034 and $778,752, compared to $488,555 and $681,234 for the comparable periods of the prior year. This represents a decrease of 22% and an increase of 14%, respectively, from the prior year periods. General and administrative expenses increased during the six-months ended June 30, 2001 as a result of increases in personnel costs. This increase was offset in the three-months ended June 30, 2001 as a result of decreases in consulting and legal expenses.

Operating expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 totaled $1,517,063, and $2,825,383, compared to $994,460 and $1,409,199 for the comparable periods of the prior year, representing an increase of 52% and 100% from the prior year periods, respectively. The Company sustained a net loss of $1,370,613 and $2,445,941 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, compared to a net loss of $853,734 and $1,007,736, for the comparable periods of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $125,228 and working capital of $213,783, as compared to $2,150,112 and $2,666,295, respectively, at December 31, 2000. The decrease in the Company’s cash and working capital positions from December 31, 2000 was due primarily to net losses during the period.

Capital expenditures for equipment totaled $167,813, in the period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $21,192 in the comparable period of the prior year. The Company does not expect to spend more than $300,000 in total for equipment in the year ending December 31, 2001.

The Company believes that sales for the remainder of the 2001 fiscal year may be greater than the level experienced in the comparable prior year periods due to the favorable reimbursement environment created by HCFA’s new coverage policy for cryosurgery of the prostate. However, the level of increased sales, if any, will depend in part on the Company’s ability to implement manufacturing and testing protocols for its products, increase sales and marketing efforts, and reestablish its education and retraining programs.

Additional capital will be necessary to ensure the Company's viability. In this respect, the Company currently is pursuing an additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to current stockholders. If the Company is not able to raise additional funds, it may be required to significantly curtail or cease its operating activities. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Forward Looking Information

The information set forth in this Report (and other reports issued by the Company and its officers from time to time) contain certain statements concerning the Company’s future results, future performance, intentions, objectives, plans and expectations that are or may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements.” Such statements are made in reliance upon safe harbor provisions of the Private

8


Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including those risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgements with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the results discussed or implied in such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in such forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s objectives and plans will be achieved. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to revise any of these forward-looking statements.
