                                   THE COMPANY


      The Company, a Nevada corporation, is controlled by  Bio-Sphere
Technologies, Inc. ("BTI"), and BTI's controlling shareholder, Dr. Jackie R.
See.  BTI is a bio-pharmaceutical company in the development stage currently
working on a therapeutic treatment for male erectile dysfunction.

      The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
January 13, 1987 with the name of Witch Doctor Bones, Inc. On August 12, 1987,
the Company qualified a public offering under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Secretary of State of Nevada. On
June 17, 1988, the Company changed its name to Careyward, Inc. and authorized a
forward split of ten (10) shares for one (1).

      On October 18, 1993, the company acquired Grant City Corporation by a
merger. As a result thereof, 50,000 shares were issued which carried two classes
of warrants. Class A warrants entitled the holder to purchase stock at $8.00 per
share and the Class B warrants entitled the holder to purchase stock for $10.00
per share. The warrants could only be exercised if a registration statement was
in effect filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No such filing has been made
by the Company. Both classes of warrants have been redeemed by the Company at
$0.001 per warrant with twenty (20) days written notice. Thus, the warrants have
been cancelled.

      On January 6, 1994, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
with Bio-Sphere Technologies, Inc. ("BTI") whereby the company acquired
intellectual property rights relating to prostaglandin microsphere delivery in
exchange for 2,856,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As a result of this
transaction, the Company became a subsidiary of BTI.

<PAGE>   6
      On January 18, 1994, the name of the Company was changed to The Male Edge,
Inc. On May 10, 1994, the name of the Company was changed to Harvard Scientific
Corp.

      As of October 30, 1997, BTI owned approximately 28.03% of the Company's
outstanding shares.  Eighteen million of BTI's shares or 45% are owned by Dr.
Jackie R. See, who is also a Director of the Company.  Dr. See also has
potential voting rights on a further 2,000,000 BTI shares.  Dr. See may be
considered a promoter of the Company.

      In March 1997, pursuant to a private placement, the Company (a) sold to
one investor $5,000,000 principal amount of 6% convertible Debentures (the
"Debentures") and (b) received a commitment from that investor, subject to
various conditions, to purchase additional Debentures in the aggregate principal
amount of up to $10,000,000 in two tranches of $5,000,000 each. The investor may
convert the Debentures into Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), and the
Company has the right to require such conversion. As of October 30, 1997, the
investor had exercised its conversion rights as to $1,750,000 principal amount
of Debentures plus $44,085.00 accrued interest, receiving 1,850,625 shares of
Common Stock therefor.

      The Company's executive offices are located at 100 North Arlington, Suite
23-P, Reno, Nevada 89501 and its telephone number is (702) 796-1173.


                            SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

RISK FACTORS


      An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of
risk, including, but not necessarily limited to, the risk factors described
below, and should be considered only by those investors who can afford the risk
of loss of their entire investment. In addition to other information in this
Prospectus, each prospective investor should carefully consider the following
risk factors inherent in and affecting the business of the Company before making
an investment decision. Moreover, prospective investors are cautioned that the
statements in this Prospectus that are not descriptions of historical facts may
be forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this
Prospectus.


LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND REVENUES; SIGNIFICANT AND CONTINUING LOSSES;
UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY

      The Company is a development-stage company. Since inception, the Company
has been engaged primarily in the development of PaGE(1) and only commenced
limited use of PaGE(1) in clinical trials in 1996. Accordingly, the Company has
limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its performance and
prospects can be based.

      The likelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in light
of the risks, problems, expenses, difficulties and complications frequently
encountered in connection with the shift from development to commercialization
of new products based on innovative technologies. It should be noted that,
during the period from January 1994 to February 1995, the Company also
investigated, acquired, tested, and ultimately abandoned technology related to
whole blood rapid testing for viruses, particularly the HIV. The decision to
abandon this technology was based on poor pre-marketing results.

      Since inception, the Company has generated limited revenues and incurred
significant losses, including losses of $2,438,944, $676,455 and $489,664 for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and
$4,407,102 and $396,252 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Losses are continuing through the date of this Prospectus and the
Company anticipates that it will continue to incur such losses until such time,
if ever, as the Company generates sufficient levels of revenues from product
sales to offset its operating costs. The Company believes that generation of
such revenues is dependent upon, among other things, the Company's ability to
obtain FDA approval. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to
operate profitably or be commercially successful.


SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; AUDITORS' GOING CONCERN REPORT; DEPENDENCE
ON OFFERING PROCEEDS; POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES; FUTURE
DILUTION

      The Company's capital requirements have been and will continue to be
significant, and the Company currently has very limited cash flow from
operations. As a result, the Company has been dependent on equity and debt
financings. The Independent Auditor's Report accompanying the Company's
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 states
that, in light of the recurring losses suffered by the Company, its continued
existence depends upon its ability to resolve its liquidity problems.

      Based on the Company's operating plan, internal forecasts and assumptions
(which include: successful conclusion of clinical trials, rapid acceptance of
product due to ease and comfort of administration, price parity with competitor
products and continued growth of erectile dysfunction market niche as more
patients become aware of therapy for the problem) management believes that the
proceeds from the private placement of 6% Convertible Debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an additional principal amount
of $10,000,000 that has been committed (subject to the fulfillment of specified
conditions, one of which, a minimum trading price of the common stock of $3.50 a
share is not currently met) and anticipated cash flow from operations and other
sources will be sufficient


                                       5
<PAGE>   8
to meet the Company's anticipated cash needs and finance its plans for growth.
In the event that the Company's plans change, its assumptions change or prove
inaccurate, its revenues are less than anticipated, the commitment to purchase
the additional $10,000,000 principal amount of 6% Convertible Debenture or its
further financing otherwise prove insufficient to fund operations, the Company
may be required to seek additional financing. No assurance can be given that the
Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing, or if
obtained, that such financing will be on terms favorable to the Company. Any
inability to obtain additional financing when needed and on acceptable terms
could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's operations, including
the possibility of requiring the Company to curtail or cease its operations. Any
additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company's
then existing shareholders. Management cannot predict the timing that the holder
of the Debentures will use in converting the Debentures, the maximum number of
conversion shares that would be issued or the timing of the sale of the shares
and the effect upon the market price of the shares of such sales.


DEPENDENCE UPON SALES OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCT; LIMITED CUSTOMER BASE

      The Company's future performance will depend, almost entirely, on the
successful development, introduction and customer acceptance of the Company's
principal product, PaGE(1). To date, substantially all of the Company's revenues
have been generated by the distribution of PaGE(1) for use in clinical trials
overseas. The Company anticipates that, once FDA approval is obtained,
substantially all of its revenues for the foreseeable future will be generated
by sales of PaGE(1), both overseas and in the U.S. Although early clinical data
regarding the product suggests good probable efficacy, new product development
is highly uncertain and unanticipated developments, clinical and regulatory
delays, adverse or unexpected side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy
could slow or prevent the commercialization of PaGE(1). There can be no
assurance that the Company will not experience these or other difficulties that
could delay or prevent the commercialization of PaGE(1). Furthermore, no
assurance can be given that, if commercialization is commenced, PaGE(1) will
meet with market acceptance. The inability to successfully commercialize
PaGE(1), for any reason, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, prospects, and ability to continue operations.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION; UNCERTAINTY OF REGULATORY APPROVAL; UNCERTAINTY OF
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

      The Company is subject to various FDA regulations which govern or
influence the research, testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage,
recordkeeping and advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products,
biologics, and medical devices. Outside the United States the Company is subject
in most cases to similar regulation. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with all FDA and other material federal and state laws and
regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able,
for financial and other reasons, to comply with applicable laws, rules and
regulations. Failure or delay by the Company to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements could subject the Company to civil remedies, including
fines, suspensions, delays of approvals, injunctions, recalls or seizures of
products, operating restrictions, as well as potential criminal sanctions, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      The Company's research, development, clinical trials, manufacturing and
marketing of PaGE(1) are subject to extensive, rigorous and frequently changing
regulatory review process by the FDA and other regulatory agencies in the U.S.
and various foreign countries. The process of obtaining and maintaining required
regulatory approvals is lengthy, expensive and uncertain. FDA procedures for
approval of pharmaceuticals and biologics involve clinical testing which occurs
in three phases to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product.

      The Company expects that certain aspects of PaGE(1) also may be regulated
by the FDA as Class III devices. Preclinical evaluations of Class III devices
are similar to those of pharmaceuticals and biologics, with additional emphasis
on implant persistence, implant sensitization, and carrier characterization and
specifications.

      There can be no assurance that FDA or other regulatory clearance in the
United States and elsewhere will not take longer than currently anticipated
because of delays, problems or unforeseen safety


                                       6
<PAGE>   9
difficulties. Failure to obtain FDA approval would prevent the Company from
marketing PaGE(1) in the U.S., which would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and failure
to obtain approval in key markets outside the United States would also have a
material adverse effect. Even if regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed
pharmaceutical product and its manufacturer are subject to continuing regulatory
review, and discovery of previously unknown problems or amendments to existing
statutes or regulations or the adoption of new statutes or regulations could
result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer, including withdrawal of
the product from the market. In addition, the FDA requires submission of a
pre-market approval ("PMA") notification for any change or modification to a
previously marketed product that significantly affects safety or effectiveness.
If the Company develops a different delivery device for PaGE(1), this device
would be subject to FDA review procedures prior to release for marketing.


DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY RESEARCH

      The Company intends to use a significant portion of the proceeds of the
Debentures to conduct research and clinical studies, primarily for the purpose
of obtaining FDA approval for the marketing of PaGE(1) in the U.S. The Company
has to date conducted only Phase I trials with respect to PaGE(1). These trials
were conducted by two private, practicing urologists in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
Company plans to continue to utilize third parties to conduct the necessary
clinical trials. Several Clinical Research Organizations ("CRO"s) have submitted
bids for the clinical trials. These are under review and a suitable CRO will be
selected shortly. Therefore, the Company will be substantially dependent upon
third-party researchers and others, over whom the Company will not have absolute
control, to satisfactorily complete scientific studies performed on behalf of
the Company. There can be no assurance that third parties will be able to carry
out these studies in the proper manner, within the time frame, and within the
cost estimates currently relied upon by management. In the event that the
studies were carried out incorrectly or improperly, or were not completed within
the time frame currently contemplated, or exceeded current cost parameters, the
Company's business could be materially adversely affected.


LACK OF MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE AND CAPABILITIES; DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

      The Company does not own or lease any manufacturing facilities, does not
manufacture the product or any of its ingredients, and purchases all ingredients
from unaffiliated suppliers, including FDA validated suppliers of the active
ingredient, PaGE-1. The Company has identified at least two sources as contract
manufacturers for its product. The product under development by the Company has
never been manufactured on a commercial scale and there can be no assurance that
such a product can be manufactured at a cost or in quantity to make it
commercially viable. The Company does not now have any contracts with
manufacturers, although it is in the process of negotiating such contracts.
Although the Company believes that there are adequate suppliers and
manufacturers sufficient to satisfy the Company's requirements, the terms on
which suppliers and manufacturers will be available could have a material effect
on the success of the Company.


LIMITED SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPERIENCE; DEPENDENCE UPON THIRD
PARTY MARKETING EFFORTS

      The Company has limited marketing experience and limited financial,
personnel and other resources to independently undertake extensive marketing
activities. The Company's prospects will be significantly affected by its
ability to develop and maintain a network of distributors. Although the Company
had entered into four separate marketing agreements, all contracts have been
terminated. Moreover, the Company has generated only $181,000 in revenues from
the distribution agreements, primarily due to the fact that the product has not
yet received regulatory approval. These revenues were derived from reimbursement
of production costs of clinical materials supplied to a distributor for use in
clinical trials. To the extent that the Company enters into third-party
marketing and distribution arrangements, it is dependent on the marketing
efforts of such third parties and upon their provision of installation and
support services and the vagaries of changes in market conditions. While the
Company believes that any third parties with which it enters into marketing
arrangements will have an economic


                                       7
<PAGE>   10
motivation to commercialize the Company's products, the time and resources
devoted to these activities will be controlled by such entities and not by the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able, for financial
or other reasons, to finalize any third-party marketing arrangements or that
such arrangements, if finalized, will result in successful commercialization of
the product.


COMPETITION; NO ASSURANCE OF MARKET FOR PRINCIPAL PRODUCT

      The market for treatment of male erectile dysfunction is emerging and
evolving and is characterized by an increasing number of entrants. Although the
Company is not aware of any other product that delivers prostaglandin in a
locally applied intra-meatal formulation, several other companies offer products
designed to treat male erectile dysfunction. The competition is both direct
(i.e., companies that produce prostaglandin using alternative delivery
mechanisms) and indirect (i.e., companies that produce penile implants, vacuum
constriction devices, and other alternative treatments). Prostaglandin is
already FDA-approved for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction in an
injectable formulation by Pharmacia/Upjohn and in a formulation using
intra-urethral insertion of a prostaglandin-containing pellet by Vivus. Other
companies, such as Pfizer and Zonagen, are currently developing tablet
formulations, and Macrochem is working on a topical solution.

      There can be no assurance that additional technologies or products which
are functionally similar to those of the Company are not currently under
development or that other companies with the expertise or resources that would
encourage them to attempt to develop or market competing products will not
develop new products directly competitive with PaGE(1) or that the Company can
complete clinical testing of PaGE(1), obtain regulatory approvals and commence
commercial-scale manufacturing in a timely manner to be competitively effective.
Some of the Company's competitors and potential competitors have
well-established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of
medical equipment and have substantially greater financial, technical, personnel
and other resources than the Company, enabling them to undertake clinical
testing of products, obtain regulatory approvals and manufacture and market
pharmaceutical products in response to competitors seeking to market new
products and enter into new markets. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to compete successfully, that competitors will not develop
technologies or products that render the Company's product obsolete or less
marketable, or that the Company will be able to successfully enhance its
existing product or develop or acquire new products or produce them at
competitive prices.

      The commercial success of PaGE(1) will require acceptance by urologists,
family practitioners with a significant elderly male clientele, and medical
doctors practicing as sex therapists and the medical community as a whole. Such
acceptance will depend in large part on the results of clinical trials and the
conclusion by these physicians that PaGE(1) is a safe, cost-effective and
acceptable method of treatment. There can be no assurance that physicians will
be sufficiently encouraged by the results of the clinical trials to decide to
use the product. They may elect to use other treatment methods and procedures
which they believe to be more efficient or to have advantages over PaGE(1).
Accordingly, achieving market acceptance for PaGE(1) will require substantial
marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to educate doctors,
pharmacists, and the public about what the Company believes are the advantages
and benefits of PaGE(1). The majority of such marketing expenses are expected to
be borne by the distributors. However, the company expects to expend over $3
million over the first few years of launch in supportive activities. There can
be no assurance that such efforts will result in significant initial or
continued market acceptance for PaGE(1). In addition, PaGE(1), being a complex
pharmaceutical product, may contain a number of side effects or other problems
that become apparent subsequent to widespread commercial use. Remedying such
problems could delay the Company's plans and cause it to incur additional costs
that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.


DEPENDENCE ON THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT

      Successful commercialization of PaGE(1) may depend in part upon the
availability of reimbursement for the cost of related treatment from third-party
healthcare providers, principally Medicare, Medicaid and private health
insurance plans, including health maintenance organizations. To the extent
reimbursement is not provided or is limited, patients will have to pay for the
PaGE(1) out of their own pockets. Third-party payers are increasingly
challenging the price of medical products and services,


                                       8
<PAGE>   11
which have had and could continue to have a significant effect on the purchasing
patterns of many healthcare providers.

      In markets other than the United States, reimbursement is obtained from a
variety of sources, including governmental authorities, private health insurance
plans and labor unions. In most foreign countries, there are also private
insurance systems that may offer payments for alternative therapies. Although
not as prevalent as in the U.S., health maintenance organizations are emerging
in some European countries. Accordingly, the Company may need to seek
reimbursement approvals in such other countries, although there can be no
assurance that any such approvals will be obtained in a timely manner or at all.
Failure to receive reimbursement approvals in such other countries could have an
adverse effect on market acceptance of the Company's product in those
international markets in which such approvals are sought.

      The Company believes that reimbursement will be subject of increased
restrictions in the future in the U.S. and foreign markets. The overall
escalating cost of medical products and services has led to and will likely
continue to lead to increased pressures on the health care industry to reduce
the costs of products and services, potentially including products offered by
the Company. Significant uncertainty generally exists as to the reimbursement
status of newly approved healthcare products. Failure to receive adequate levels
of reimbursement for the use of prostaglandin in general, and PaGE(1) in
particular, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.


UNCERTAINTY OF PATENT PROTECTION; UNCERTAINTY OF PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY
TECHNOLOGY

      The strength of the Company's patent position may play an important role
in its long-term success. The Company is the assignee of Patent Application No.
08/573408, filed December 15, 1995, for an invention "PaGE-1 Containing
Lyophilized Liposomes For Use In The Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction." On
August 14, 1997 the Patent Office notified the Company's patent counsel that it
has allowed all claims of its patent application for issuance. However, there
can be no assurance such patent or patents will be effective to protect the
Company's product from duplication by others. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to afford the expense of any litigation
which may be necessary to enforce its rights under any patent. Moreover,
although the Company believes that its product does not and will not infringe
upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible
that such infringement or violation has or may occur. In the event that the
Company's product is determined to infringe upon the patents or proprietary
rights of others, the Company could be required to modify its product or obtain
a license for the manufacture and/or sale of the product, or could be prohibited
from selling the product. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, the
Company would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and
conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that the Company will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce
or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In
addition, if the Company's product is deemed to infringe upon the patents or
proprietary rights of others, the Company could, under certain circumstances,
become liable for damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

      The Company also relies substantially upon its proprietary technologies,
utilizing non-disclosure agreements with its employees, consultants and
customers to establish and protect the ideas, concepts and documentation of its
proprietary technology and know-how. Such methods, however, may not afford
complete protection, and there can be no assurance that third parties will not
independently develop such know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how,
ideas, concepts and documentation, which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.


POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE AND INSURANCE EXPENSE

      Upon the commencement of commercial production, the Company's business
will expose it to an inherent risk of potential product liability claims,
including claims for serious bodily injury or death, which could lead to
substantial damage awards. The Company currently maintains product liability


                                       9
<PAGE>   12
insurance in the amount of $1,000,000, with a maximum payout of $3,000,000,
which is the standard insurance coverage for the biopharmaceutical industry. The
Company will seek to increase the level of such insurance as its products are
commercialized. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
able to maintain or increase its insurance on acceptable terms or at reasonable
costs, or that such insurance will provide the Company with adequate coverage
against potential liabilities. A successful claim brought against the Company in
excess of, or outside of, its insurance coverage could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Claims
against the Company, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also
have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to obtain physician
endorsement of its products or expand its business.


RELIANCE ON INTERNATIONAL SALES; CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
INTERNATIONAL SALES

     The Company anticipates marketing PaGE(1) internationally, as well as in
the U.S. To the extent the Company is able to market its product in foreign
countries, the Company will become subject to the risks associated with
international sales, including, but not limited to, health and welfare
regulatory controls imposed by foreign governments, shipping delays, customs
duties, export quotas and other trade restrictions, increased collection risks
and international political, regulatory and economic developments, and exchange
risks, any one of which could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating
results.


DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

      The Company is dependent on the efforts and abilities of Jackie R. See,
M.D., its founder and Director; and of Don A. Steffens, its Chief Executive
Officer, President and Director. Unforeseen circumstances could cause one or
more of these individuals to be unable to render his or their services to the
Company. The loss of the services of any such officers or other key personnel
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

      In addition, to date, the Company has relied extensively on the services
of management and technical staff from its parent company, BTI. This technical
and management assistance has been provided as part of the consideration for the
issuance of the Company's stock, but there is no specific agreement between the
Company and BTI in this regard. There can be no assurance that BTI will continue
to provide such technical and management assistance, or if provided, on terms
acceptable to the Company, which if not provided could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations. To the extent that the services of key
personnel become unavailable, the Company will be required to retain other
qualified persons, for whose services the Company will be in competition with
other employers, many of which have significantly greater resources than the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to hire or
retain such other qualified persons.


LACK OF BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE

      The Company does not currently maintain business interruption insurance
coverage. The Company is a development stage concern at this time. It relies on
a few key employees to direct and administrate the activities of the Company.
The Company outsources most aspects of its operations, except administration.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to either obtain
cost-effective insurance, diversify its outsourced functions, or maintain a core
group of effective personnel sufficiently adequate to protect the Company's
financial condition.


BARRIERS TO TAKEOVER

      The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws contain certain
provisions which may deter, discourage, or make more difficult the assumption of
control of the Company by another corporation or person through a tender offer,
merger, proxy contest or similar transaction or series of transactions. These
provisions include an unusually large number of authorized shares (100,000,000)
and the prohibition of cumulative voting. The overall effect of these provisions
may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that some
stockholders might view to be in their best interest as the offer


                                       10
<PAGE>   13
might include a premium over the market price of the Company's capital stock at
the time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting the
Company's current management in retaining its position and place it in a better
position to resist changes which some stockholders may want it to make if
dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company's business. These provisions also
present a risk of future dilution to existing shareholders.


LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law ("NGCL") allows the
Company to indemnify any person who is or was made a party to, or is or was
threatened to be made a party to, any pending, completed, or threatened action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The NGCL permits the
Company to advance expenses to an indemnified party in connection with defending
any such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified party to
repay those amounts if it is later determined that the party is not entitled to
indemnification.

      The foregoing provision may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors and officers and discourage or deter shareholders from suing
directors or officers for breaches of their duties to the Company, even though
such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its
shareholders. In addition, to the extent that the Company expends funds to
indemnify directors and officers, funds will be unavailable for operational
purposes.


VOLATILITY OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK PRICES

      The market price of the Company's Commons Stock has experienced
significant volatility, with per share bids ranging from a low of $.25 to a high
of $16.63 over the period from the second quarter of 1995 to October 30, 1997.
Various factors and events, including announcements by the Company or its
competitors concerning patents, proprietary rights, technological innovations or
new commercial products, as well as public concern about the safety of medical
products and practice in general, may have a significant impact on the Company's
business and the price of the Company's Common Stock.


EFFECT OF DEBENTURE CONVERSION

      Upon conversion of the $3,250,000 principal amount of Debentures currently
outstanding, assuming the purchase and conversion of the $10,000,000 principal
amount of Debentures by the Debentureholder (the "Selling Debentureholder"), and
assuming the issuance of the 400,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby,
there will be not less than 22,650,406 shares of Common Stock outstanding,
consisting of 20,219,755 shares currently outstanding, the 400,000 shares
offered hereby and a minimum of 2,030,651 shares (and potentially substantially
more depending upon the Market Price at the time of conversion) issuable upon
conversion by the Debentures available for offer by the Selling
Debentureholders, which shares will be tradable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), as long as the prospectus covering such sales remains current and
effective. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales
of shares of Common Stock, whether offered by the Selling Debentureholder or
others, will have on the market price of the shares of Common Stock prevailing
from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock, or the
perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing
market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the ability of the Company
to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities or through
debt financing.


ILLIQUID MARKET RISKS RELATING TO LOW-PRICED STOCKS

      The Common Stock of the Company is currently traded on the system of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., known as the OTC Electronic
Bulletin Board under the symbol "HVSF." This market generally is not as liquid
as the market for NASDAQ equity securities or exchange-listed


                                       11
<PAGE>   14
securities, and discounts and transactional costs may be greater than in the
more liquid markets. In addition, the trading price of the Common Stock has
fallen below $5.00 per share at various times during the past years and is below
such price currently and may continue to be in the future, at which price
trading in the Common Stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules
promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by
broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a
penny stock (generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price
of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require
the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose
various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The
additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could, so
long as the Common Stock is deemed to be a penny stock, discourage
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the stock, which could severely
limit the market liquidity of the Common Stock and the ability of purchasers in
this offering to sell the stock in the secondary market.


TRANSACTIONS WITH CONTROLLING PERSONS; POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

      In consideration of the assignment of the intellectual property rights to
patent, develop, manufacture and market the PaGE(1), the Company issued
2,856,000 shares of common stock to its parent company, BTI. The Company also
issued a further 6,138,500 shares of common stock to BTI for BTI's assistance in
raising working capital, prosecuting the patent application, management
assistance, and for assignment of rights under four distribution agreements for
the PaGE(1) product. BTI owned 28.03% of the Company's outstanding shares as of
October 30, 1997. 18,000,000 of BTI's shares, or 45%, are owned by Jackie R.
See, M.D., who is also the Company's founder, Head of Research and Development
and a Director. Dr. See also has potential voting rights on another 2,000,000
BTI shares.

      During 1994, the Company paid $150,000 to related parties for work
performed in completing a merger with Grant City Corporation ("GCC"), which was
effected in 1993. Of this amount, $100,000 was paid to BTI and the remaining
$50,000 was paid to individuals affiliated with BTI.

      The Company has entered into a royalty agreement with Dr. See, whereby it
will pay Dr. See two percent (2%) of net revenues from the sale of PaGE(1) and
any other products the Company produces under Patent Application No. 08/573408.
These royalty payments shall continue for the life of the patent application and
any patents that may issue therefrom.

      Dr. See owns 9,917,506 shares of the Company's common stock, including
5,667,500 shares owned by BTI, of which Dr. See is a controlling person, and
1,000,000 shares in trust for his wife. 350,000 of these shares were transferred
for past services and 4,000,000 (including the 1,000,000 shares transferred to
his wife in trust) were transferred in consideration of an amendment to his
consulting agreement with the Company, on May 15, 1997.

      The foregoing arrangements and relationships may give rise to conflicts of
interest with respect to future interpretation of the agreements between the
Company, BTI and Dr. See. There can be no assurance that future transactions or
arrangements between the Company and any affiliates will be advantageous to the
Company, although the Company intends to enter into transactions with BTI or Dr.
See only if they are at least as favorable to the Company as could be could be
obtained from independent third parties.


OWNERSHIP BY MANAGEMENT AND EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS

      Directors and officers of the Company and its principal stockholder,
Bio-Sphere Technology, Inc., beneficially own in the aggregate 12,414,500 shares
of Common Stock, representing 62% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company, assuming that the 400,000 shares offered hereby are issued and that
all of the outstanding and issuable Debentures are converted at a Market Price
of $3.50 per share, which was the Market Price (as defined in the Debentures)
on October 30, 1997. Accordingly, directors, officers and principal stockholders
will have the ability to influence significantly the affairs of the Company and
matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of the


                                       12
<PAGE>   15
Company's directors, the amendment of the Company's charter documents, the
merger or dissolution of the Company and the sale of all or substantially all of
the company's assets. The voting power of these holders may also discourage or
prevent any proposed takeover of the Company pursuant to a tender offer.


PENDING LITIGATION

      The Company is a party to several legal proceedings during the past twelve
months which could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial
condition or operation.


SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

      As of October 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding 20,219,755 shares of
Common Stock. All such shares are eligible for immediate sale in the public
market without restriction, unless they are held by affiliates of the Company
and are not covered by this Prospectus or the Prospectus included in the
Company's Registration Statement on form SB-2 Amendment No. 4 (Registration No.
333-25647) filed with the Commission on August 14, 1997, relating to the
possible conversion of all Debentures.

      No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of
Common Stock, including the Conversion Shares, or the availability of such
shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time-to-time.
Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be
sold to in the public market may adversely effect prevailing market prices for
the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through
the sale of its equity securities.



                               SELLING STOCKHOLDER

      This Prospectus relates to offers and sales by the Selling Stockholder of
shares of Common Stock acquired by them under the Agreement. The Selling
Stockholder named below may offer its share from time-to-time only after the
vesting conditions and transferability restrictions applicable to each award are
satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

      The following table sets forth certain information with respect to this
Selling Stockholder, including (i) the name of the Selling Stockholder, (ii) the
Selling Stockholder's position with the Company, (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering and (iv) the
maximum number of shares of such Common Stock to be offered hereby. Because the
Selling Stockholder may offer all, a portion or none of the Shares offered
pursuant to this Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the amount of Common
Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholder upon termination of the
offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

      The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by
the Selling Stockholders.



                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


      The Selling Securityholder's Shares may be offered and sold in the
over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at
prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions.
The Selling Security holder's Shares may be sold by one or more of the following
methods, without limitation: (i) a block trade in which a broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the share as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (ii) purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
accounts pursuant to this Prospectus; (iii) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchases; and (iv) transactions
between sellers and purchasers without a broker or dealer. In effecting sales,
brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other
brokers or dealers to participate. Such brokers or dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholder in amounts to be
negotiated. Such brokers and dealers and any other participating brokers and
dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act, in connection with such sales.



                                  LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of Common Stock will be passed upon for the Company
by Alexander H. Walker, Jr., Esq., Salt Lake City, Utah, who owns 1,245,000
shares of the Company's common stock and is an officer of the Company. Various
legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Gersen, Baker & Wood LLP,
New York, New York, one of whose partners owns 200,000 shares of Bio-Sphere, the
Company's controlling shareholder.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


      Inapplicable


ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL


      The validity of the Shares of Common Stock will be passed for the Company
by Alexander H. Walker, Jr., Esq., Reno, Nevada, who owns 1,245,000 Shares of
the Company's Common Stock and is an officer and director of the Company.
Various legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Gersen, Baker &
Wood LLP, New York, New York, one of whose partners owns 200,000 shares of
Bio-Sphere, the Company's controlling shareholder.



ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law ("NGCL") allows the
Company to indemnify any person who is or was made a party to, or is or was
threatened to be made a party to, any pending, completed, or threatened action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The NGCL permits the
Company to advance expenses to an indemnified party in connection with defending
any such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified party to
repay those amounts if it is later determined that the party is not entitled to
indemnification.

      The foregoing provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative
litigation against directors and officers and discourage or deter shareholders
from suing directors or officers for breaches of their duties to the Company,
even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company
and its


                                      II-1
<PAGE>   19
shareholders. In addition, to the extent that the Company expends funds to
indemnify directors and officers, funds will be unavailable for operational
purposes.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


      (1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
                  Securities Act of 1933.

            (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                  the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
                  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                  or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                  information set forth in the registration statement.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
                  volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
                  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
                  and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
                  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
                  prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424-(b)
                  if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
                  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
                  aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                  Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
                  statement.

(1)     Incorporated herein by reference to the Company's Registration Statement
        on Form 10-SB Exhibits a(3)(i) and b(3)(ii) filed on April 30, 1996.

(2)     Included as part of signature, pages II-4 and II-5.


                                      II-2
<PAGE>   20
            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
                  of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
                  statement or any material change to such information in the
                  registration statement;

                              Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(I) and
                  (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
                  included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
                  contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
                  Commission by such registrant pursuant to section 13 or
                  section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
                  "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the
                  registration statement.


      (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

      (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.



      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registration statement pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Harvard Scientific Corp.
100 No. Arlington
Suite 23P
Reno, Nevada  89501

Gentlemen:

                  I have acted as General Counsel on behalf of Harvard
Scientific Corp. ("Harvard"), a Nevada corporation, in connection with the
Financial Public Relations Agreement ("Agreement") dated September 18, 1997
between Harvard and I.W. Miller & Co., Inc., pursuant to which as consideration,
among other things, 400,000 shares ("Miller Shares") of the Common Stock
("Common Stock") of Harvard are issuable. You have requested my opinion
concerning the Miller Shares in connection with a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 ("Registration Statement") for the registration of the Miller Shares.

                  As General Counsel for the corporation in this regard, I have
reviewed the various corporate proceedings taken by Harvard in connection with
the authorization of the Agreement and the authorization of the issuance of the
