(1)  Dollar values for options are based upon the difference between the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 15, 2005 and the exercise price of the option. Dollar values for shares issued under the Purchase Plan are based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 15, 2005. If no value is listed, stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan are of no value because the exercise price of the stock options is above the current trading price of Cardiogenesis’ Common Stock based on a closing price of $0.50 on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 15, 2005.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures for Preapproval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
      The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. On an on-going basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent auditors.
      The Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by PWC, subject to the exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee has considered whether the services provided by PWC are compatible with maintaining the independence of PWC and has concluded that the independence of PWC is maintained and is not compromised by the services provided.
