See notes to financial statements 5 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. General Incorporated in 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.("Cryomedical"), BioLife Solutions, Inc. ("BioLife" or the "Company") develops, manufactures and markets low temperature technologies for use in preserving and prolonging the viability of cellular and genetic material for use in cell therapy and tissue engineering. The Company's patented HypoThermosol(R) platform technology is used to provide customized preservation solutions which significantly prolong cell, tissue and organ viability, which could, in turn, improve clinical outcomes for new and existing cell and tissue therapy applications, as well as for organ transplantation. The Company currently markets its HypoThermosol(R) line of solutions directly and through a distributor to companies and labs engaged in pre-clinical research, and to academic institutions. In May 2002, Cryomedical implemented a restructuring and recapitalization program designed to shift its focus away from cryosurgery towards addressing preservation and transportation needs of the biomedical marketplace, an arena in which the Company is currently selling its products and in which it holds important proprietary assets and intellectual property. In conjunction with the sale of Cryomedical's cryosurgical assets on June 25, 2002, Cryomedical's Board of Directors also approved merging BioLife into Cryomedical and changing its name to BioLife Solutions, Inc. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, Cryomedical changed its name to BioLife Solutions, Inc. and began to trade under the new symbol, "BLFS" on the OTCBB. The Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2002, the Statements of Operations for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the Statements of Cash Flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2002, and for all periods then ended, have been recorded. All adjustments recorded were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. B. Continued Existence Additional capital is needed to fulfill the Company's current marketing, research and product development goals and to sustain and ensure its viability. Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable. Additionally, successful completion of the Company's product development program and its transition to attain profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure. The Company anticipates that its current cash balance will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements into the first quarter of 2003. This does not include the effect of any sale of the Company's marketable securities (see Note D in the Company's Notes to Financial Statements). There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accessing additional capital, or that any financing transaction will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, that any financing transactions will not be dilutive to current stockholders, or that the Company will have sufficient working capital to fund future operations. If the Company does not have access to 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. 6 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS C. Sale of Cryosurgical Assets On June 25, 2002 the Company completed the sale of its cryosurgery product line and related intellectual property assets to Irvine, CA-based Endocare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENDO). In the transaction, which was originally announced on May 29, 2002, the Company transferred ownership of all of its cryosurgical installed base, inventory, and related intellectual property, in exchange for $2.2 million in cash and 120,022 shares of Endocare common stock (valued at $1,434,263 on June 25, 2002). Operating results of the cryosurgical operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are shown separately in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company recorded a gain on sale of cryosurgical assets of $2,426,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Net sales of discontinued operations for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $0 and $128,419, respectively. These amounts are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations. Cryosurgical assets sold in the transaction with Endocare consisted of the following (all assets are shown at the lower of cost or market): JUNE 25, 2002 ----------- Accounts receivable, net $ 42,660 Inventory 438,606 Other current assets 27,284 Fixed assets, net 245,680 Intangible assets, net 453,923 ----------- Net assets sold $ 1,208,153 =========== D. Marketable Securities We have classified our marketable securities as "available-for-sale" as defined under Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At September 30, 2002, our marketable securities consisted of 120,022 shares of Endocare common stock. Fair value has been determined based on the quoted market price for Endocare common stock as of the date of the balance sheet. As of November 13, 2002 the aggregate fair value of our marketable securities decreased to $354,065. Pursuant to the terms of the sale of Cryomedical's cryosurgical assets, Endocare was required to have filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the sale of the shares by September 22, 2002. To date, no such registration statement has been filed. The Company intends to seek the legal remedies available to it in connection with such failure to file the registration statement. 7 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS E. Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive securities such as preferred stock, stock options and warrants. Potential common shares totaling 4,800,000 were included in the dilluted earnings per share amount for the three months ended September 30, 2001 due to their dilutive effect, but were not included for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and nine month periods ending September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. F. Notes Payable and Issuance of Company Warrants In March 2002, in consideration for a loan in the amount of $250,000, the Company issued (i) a 12-month promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. The Company recorded additional-paid-in-capital on the balance sheet of $154,629 to reflect the fair market value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the loan and recorded a corresponding deferred financing cost which is being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the loan. At September 30, 2002, the Company owed $250,000 on this promissory note. In March 2002, the Company entered into a promissory note with a vendor of the Company in the amount of $200,824 payable in $10,000 monthly installments, without interest, until the principal amount is paid in full. At September 30, 2002, the Company owed $115,824 on this promissory note. In May 2002, in consideration for loans in the amount of $115,000, the Company issued (i) three separate 12-month promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $115,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and (ii) three separate five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 460,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. The Company recorded additional-paid-in-capital on the balance sheet of $48,564 to reflect the fair market value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the loans and recorded a corresponding expense in the Company's statement of operations. The Company subsequently paid these notes in full during June and July of 2002. In connection with the sale of the Company's cryosurgical assets, as partial consideration for services rendered, the Company issued to each of Breslow & Walker, LLP, the Company's general counsel, and de Greef & Partners, LLC, a consultant for the Company, a 10-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share. The Company recorded additional-paid-in-capital on the balance sheet of $139,677 to reflect the fair market value of the warrants issued and recorded a corresponding expense in the Company's statement of operations. 8 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS G. Employment Agreements In July, 2002, the Company entered into a two year employment agreement with John G. Baust, PhD, pursuant to which Dr. Baust is employed as the Company's President and Chief Executive Office. Also in July, 2002, the Company entered into a one year employment agreement with Robert Van Buskirk, PhD, pursuant to which Dr. Van Buskirk is employed as the Company's Vice President of Business Development. H. Recent Accounting Pronouncements None 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein. The discussion of the results from operations includes only the Company's continuing operations. BioLife Solutions, Inc. ("BioLife" or the "Company") has pioneered the next generation of preservation solutions designed to maintain the viability and health of cellular matter and tissues during freezing, transportation and storage. Based on the Company's proprietary bio-packaging technology and a patented understanding of the mechanism of cellular damage and death, these products enable the biotechnology and medical community to address a growing problem that exists today. The expanding practice of cell and gene therapy has created a need for products that ensure the biological viability of mammalian cell and tissue material during transportation and storage. The HypoThermosol(R) and CryoStor(TM) products that the Company is selling today are a significant step forward in meeting these needs. The Company's line of preservation solutions is composed of complex synthetic, aqueous solutions containing, in part, minerals and other elements found in human blood which are necessary to maintain fluids and chemical balances throughout the body at near freezing temperatures. The solutions preserve cells and tissue in low temperature environments for extended periods after removal of the cells through minimally invasive biopsy or surgical extraction, as well as in shipping the propagated material for the application of cell or gene therapy or tissue engineering. BioLife has entered into research agreements with several emerging biotechnology companies engaged in the research and commercialization of cell and gene therapy technology and has received several government research grants in partnership with academic institutions to conduct basic research, which could lead to further commercialization of technology to preserve human cells, tissues and organs. The Company currently markets its HypoThermosol(R) line of solutions directly and through a distributor to companies and labs engaged in pre-clinical research, and to academic institutions. On June 25, 2002, the Company completed the sale of its cryosurgery product line and related intellectual property assets to Irvine, CA-based Endocare, Inc. In the transaction, the Company transferred ownership of all of its cryosurgical installed base, inventory and related intellectual property in exchange for $2.2 million in cash and 120,022 shares of Endocare Common Stock. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 Revenue. For the three-months ended September 30, 2002 revenue from continuing operations decreased $12,192, or 8%, to $138,007, compared to $150,199 for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was due to slightly lower National Institutes of Health ("NIH") grant revenue, offset by slightly higher revenues from corporate consulting contracts. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, revenue increased $289,582, or 127% to $516,819, compared to $227,237 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The increase was due to higher revenues across the board, including product sales revenue of $20,527, NIH grant revenue of $385,572 and corporate research contract revenue of 110,720. Cost of product sales. There were no expenses relating to cost of product sold for the three-months ended September 30, 2002. Cost of product sold for the three-months ended September 30, 2001 totaled $1,089. 10 This improvement in cost of product sales was due to a low level of product sales in both periods and the writedown of the Company's inventory in the previous quarter. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, cost of product sales increased to $25,646, compared to $2,455 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. This increase in cost of product sales was the result of product inventory that was written down by $25,685 to reflect a zero inventory balance at June 30, 2002. Research and development. Expenses relating to research and development for the three-months ended September 30, 2002 increased $94,135, or 82%, to $209,434, compared to $115,299 for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in research and development expense was due primarily to higher expenses relating to academic presentations made by the Company's engineers at scientific conferences and higher headcount. Expenses relating to research and development for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 increased $186,758, or 73%, to $441,684, compared to $254,926 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in research and development expenditure for the nine month period was due to an overall higher level of product development activity reflected in higher salaries expense from the addition of research and development personnel, higher consulting fees, higher legal expenses relating to the Company's intellectual property portfolio and a higher level of expenditure on lab supplies and research facilities. Sales and marketing. For the three-months ended September 30, 2002, sales and marketing expense increased $3,411, or 470%, to $4,126, compared to $715 for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in sales and marketing expense was the direct result of the presence of the Company at a tradeshow during the period. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, sales and marketing expense decreased $25,415, or 86%, to $4,146, compared to $29,561 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was principally due to a shift in the allocation of sales and marketing personnel related expenditure to product development. General and administrative expense. For the three-months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative expense increased $108,667 to $134,520, compared to $25,853 for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. This increase in general and administrative expense was due to the shift in the burden of general and administrative expense to the Company's continuing operations from discontinued operations. As a result of this shift, the Company experienced higher salary, travel, legal and accounting expense. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative expense increased $306,469 to $417,068, compared to $110,599 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was also due to the shift in the burden of general and administrative expense noted above. Discontinued operations. On June 25, 2002, all of the cryosurgical assets, including customer receivables, inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets related to the cryosurgical business, were sold to Endocare for a combination of cash and common stock of the purchaser. For the three-months ended September 30, 2002 loss from the operation of cryosurgical assets was $(92,934) compared to a loss of $(1,140,775) for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, loss from the operation of cryosurgical assets was $(1,547,824) compared to a loss of $(3,409,153) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, the gain on disposal of cryosurgical assets, net of assets sold at cost, was $2,426,109. Operating expenses and net income. For the three-months ended September 30, 2002, operating expenses increased $206,213 to $348,080, compared to $141,867 for the three-months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, operating expenses increased $467,812 to $862,898, compared to $395,086 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The Company reported a net loss of $(303,007) for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $(1,134,281) for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The company reported net income of $506,560 for the nine- months ended 11 September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $(3,580,222) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The Company's reported net income/(loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 includes results from discontinued operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $273,076 and marketable securities of $1,717,515, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $286,105 and no marketable securities at December 31, 2001. As of November 13, 2002 the aggregate fair value of our marketable securities declined to $354,065 (see Note D, in our Notes to Financial Statements). At September 30, 2002, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1,217,803, compared to a working capital deficit of $(614,626) at December 31, 2001. The increase in the Company's cash and working capital positions from December 31, 2001 was due to the sale of the Company's cryosurgical assets, and was partially offset by net losses during the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2002. The Company anticipates that its current cash balance will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating cash requirements into the first quarter of 2003.

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 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 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments 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. 12 ITEM 3.
