which affect the Company's business, in this report, as well as the Company's
periodic reports on Forms 10-K, 10Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Overview
- --------
The Company has developed The MedCare Program, a non-surgical, non-drug,
non-invasive and cost effective treatment program for urinary incontinence, as
well as pelvic pain, chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, and disordered
defecation. The MedCare program is a multi- modality program based primarily on
behavioural techniques for treatment. These techniques include biofeedback using
electromyography (EMG), pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bladder and bowel
re-training. The program is designed to activate and strengthen the various
sensory-response mechanisms that maintain bladder and bowel control. The therapy
is provided through computerized instrumental electromyography biofeedback and
is based on operant conditioning strategies whereby specific physiological
responses are progressively shaped, strengthened, and coordinated.
The MedCare Program is available through the practices of physicians (urologist,
urogynecologist, gastroenterologist, and/or colon rectal surgeon), either in a
private office, clinic, or a hospital setting. As of June 30th, 1998, the
Company had 18 MedCare Program sites established, and was in the process of
opening an additional 16 MedCare Program sites in various parts of the country.
In order to prepare for MedCare's expansion phase the company transitioned away
from Solo Physician Practices to Multi Physician Practices, which typically
offers a larger patient base, greater referral network and greater Managed Care
influence.
The Company plans to devote the majority of its resources to establishing new
MedCare Program sites, in operating existing centres, and in developing new
business models for the introduction of the MedCare Program into new markets,
such as nursing homes and other institutions, and possibly foreign countries.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company had revenues of $151,815 for the three-month period ending June
30th, 1998 compared to $10,573 for the three-month period ending June 30th,
1997. Since the Company transitioned from Solo Physician Practices to Multi
Physician Practice offices, 17 of the 19 centers operating, as of June 30th
1998, had been in 1998. Due to the early stage nature of each office the
majority of the Company's first quarter revenues were generated by the early
established sites. Each site generates revenue through patient visits, which
come from referrals and direct to consumer education. The Company expects modest
revenues from all newly opened sites during the first 12 months of operations.
To date, the Company has not relied on any revenues for funding its activities
and it does not expect to receive significant revenues from operation in the
near future. During the next several years, the Company expects to derive the
majority of its potential revenues from the opening of new MedCare Program
centres in the United States, and possible abroad.
For the three-month period ending June 30th, 1998, the Company's general and
administrative expenses increased to $490,629 compared to $333,513 for the
corresponding period in 1997. The 1998 amount represents an increase of 147% due
primarily to the hiring of additional management and nursing staff, greater
advertising and marketing expenses, increased expenses related to financial
public relations, building processes and protocols to support future growth.
<PAGE>
The Company's net loss was $338,814, or $0.04 per share, for the first quarter
of 1998 compared to a net loss of $333,513 or $0.05 per share, for the
corresponding period in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the increase in
general and administrative costs described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of June 30th, 1998, the Company's cash balance was $3,791,743 compared to
$3,440,791 as of June 30th, 1997. The Company has financed its operations
primarily through the exercise of Stock Options and Share Purchase Warrants from
a previous private placement.
The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including the Company's ability to establish and operate profitability current
and future MedCare Program locations, recruiting and training qualified
management and clinical personnel, competing against any potential technological
advances in the treatment of urinary incontinence and other afflictions of the
pelvic floor area, and the Company's ability to compete against other better
capitalized corporations who offer alternative or similar treatment options for
urinary incontinence and other afflictions of the pelvic floor area.
Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's business, the Company expects to
incur losses as it expands its business. While the Company has enough cash to
fund its early stage expansion plans, the Company may choose to raise additional
funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range
and scope of its business operations. Even if the Company does not have an
immediate need for additional cash, it may seek access to the public equity
markets if and when conditions are favourable. There is no assurance that such
additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on
acceptable terms, if at all.
