6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Licensing Agreement

     On January 31, 1999, the company entered into a licensing agreement with
     Luna Products Inc. (LPI). This arrangement is recorded as a loan receivable
     of US$40,000 and a marketing licence of US$1. The agreement calls for the
     loan to be paid by a CDN$1 fee per unit for the first 30,000 units sold,
     and then a CDN$0.50 fee per unit sold in perpetuity. The loan does not have
     a stated rate of interest. Furthermore, the licensing agreement calls for
     continuing royalties of 5% of Luna Medical Technologies' gross sales to
     Luna Products Inc. and CDN$1 to Jim Emmerson, a director of LPI, for each
     unit sold in perpetuity. Each of these royalties will be paid one month in
     arrears. On May 6, 1999, the company and LPI agreed to certain
     modifications to the licence agreement as to certain pricing and purchasing
     structures, and the company agreed to incur marketing expenses totalling
     not less than CDN$250,000 by May 31, 2000.

     Marketing and Management Agreement

     The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Luna Fertility Indicator, Inc. (the
     "subsidiary") has entered into an agreement with Melissa Gervais, Inc.
     ("Gervais") whereby the subsidiary has engaged Gervais to provide marketing
     and management services for a period of 10 years for a fee of CDN$5,000 per
     month, premises rental of CDN$600 per month and an option to purchase a
     7.2% interest in the subsidiary for a nominal price. Should the
     subsidiary's net revenue (as defined by the agreement) exceed CDN$7,500 per
     month for four consecutive months, the monthly fee shall increase to
     CDN$6,250. Furthermore, the subsidiary will pay Gervais a performance bonus
     of 5% of net operating profits of the subsidiary.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Business of the Registrant. Medical Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Registrant"), formerly entitled Luna Technologies, Inc., was incorporated in
the State of Nevada on January 19, 1999. On or about May 31, 1999, the
Registrant changed its name to Luna Medical Technologies, Inc. The executive
offices of the Registrant are located at Suite 400, 900 West Hastings Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C IE5. The Registrant's telephone number
is 604.687.0719.

On or about January 31, 1999, the Registrant entered into an exclusive worldwide
license agreement ("Agreement") with Luna Products, Inc., a Canadian corporation
("LPI"), to distribute the Luna Fertility Indicator ("Indicator"), a


                                       7
<PAGE>

lightweight, re-usable home fertility test. As a point of clarification, as used
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB the term "US$" means and refers to the
currency of the United States of America, unless otherwise stated. As used in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB the term "CDN$" means the currency of
Canada, in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated. The Agreement also grants
the Registrant the right to distribute fertility charts with every purchase of
the Indicator (described in more detail below). The license granted under the
Agreement expires upon repayment of the Loan. However, the Registrant and LPI
have orally agreed that the relationship between the Registrant and LPI will
continue beyond the term of the License. Except for their relationship regarding
the Indicator, the Registrant and LPI have no other affiliation.

The Indicator is a simple to use device whereby a woman can track her stages of
fertility. The Indicator takes up slightly more space than a lipstick and can be
used any private place with access to natural or clear light. A woman simply
places a sample of her saliva on the clean slide, allows the saliva to dry, then
holds the slide up to a 40-watt or greater light source and looks at the saliva
pattern through the eyepiece. The woman then compares her saliva patterns
indicated in the book of charts provided free of charge with the Indicator.
Comparing the saliva patterns will indicate her state of fertility. The charts
are easy to use, consisting mainly of the woman noting on the chart whether she
is fertile or infertile based on the saliva patterns, thus providing a quick and
easy reference indicating her monthly fertility cycle. If the woman is in the
biologically active, fertile phase, her saliva will crystallize and fibrous
"fern-type" patterns will be clearly viewed in the small Indicator in-home small
microscope. Then she can rinse off the slide and put it away until the next use.
The Registrant anticipates that the Indicator will be used as a guide to
determine the different phases of the fertility cycle and as an aid to encourage
conception. The Registrant does not intend for this device to be used or
considered as a contraceptive or method of birth control.

The Registrant's Subsidiary. On or about May 11, 1999, the Registrant caused to
be incorporated, in British Columbia, Luna Fertility Indicator, Inc. Luna
Fertility Indicator, Inc., is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant. The Registrant anticipates that the primary business of Luna
Fertility Indicator, Inc., will be marketing and distributing the Indicator.

Marketing and Sales Strategy. The Registrant's subsidiary, Luna Fertility
Indicator, Inc., has entered into a management services contract with Melissa
Gervais, Inc. ("Gervais, Inc.") (more particularly described in Note 6 of the
financial statements included within Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB). For an initial
term of 10 years, Gervais, Inc. will provide in-house marketing and public
relations services and will co-ordinate an advertising campaign in targeted
media such as medical journals, women's magazines, religious publications and
other selected media. The Registrant will attempt to market the Indicator in
major chain drug stores using selected regional distributors.

The Registrant has agreed in principal on a distribution contract with Bathurst
Sales ("Bathurst") of Downsview, Ontario, Canada's leading distributor of
cosmetics and personal care products, whose customers include London Drugs,
Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharma Plus Drugmarts, Lawton's Drug Stores and Uniprix.
Bathurst distributes products such as Revlon, John Frieda, Elizabeth Arden,
Rubbermaid, AM Cosmetics and Vogue International, and its current clients are
those that the Registrant desires will market and promote the Indicator.
Bathurst will be informed of the dates of the Registrant's advertising programs
to co-ordinate any co-operative advertising plans that its clients may have for
the period. Bathurst has orally agreed to distribute the Indicator and
negotiations are ongoing to reduce the terms, conditions and covenants to
writing. The Registrant anticipates that the written agreement between the
Registrant and Bathurst will provide for the shipment, FOB Vancouver, on a
CDN$22.00 per unit basis.

The Registrant is in the process of developing new and attractive ways to market
the Indicator. During the last several months, the Registrant has designed new
packaging and marketing materials which the Registrant believes will enhance the
appeal of the Indicator. The Indicator is now being represented in Canada by two
distributors. The first distributor, Bathurst, sells various products to
traditional drug stores. The second distributor, Inno-Vite, sells various
products to health food stores such as Caper's, Vitamin House, Choices,
Nutrition House, GNC and Noah's Natural Foods. The Registrant continues to
negotiate with the companies interested in the Registrant's Indicator in other
markets throughout the world. The Registrant anticipates that distribution
arrangements will be finalized within six (6) months of securing the necessary
governmental approvals in those foreign markets.


                                       8
<PAGE>

The Registrant has commenced sales of the Indicator in Canada. The Registrant
has focused its initial sales efforts in Canada because it has received
government approval to distribute the Indicator. The Registrant anticipates that
it will initiate a mail order campaign and advertising in selected publications.
The Registrant has begun discussing with potential distributors in Taiwan, South
Africa and Turkey the potential foreign markets for the Indicator. The
Registrant hopes to expand marketing and distribution into Spain, Turkey and the
United States. However, since all discussions with such distributors are merely
preliminary, the Registrant cannot predict when, or even if, it will penetrate
such markets. The Registrant also anticipates providing distributors with
rebates for co-operative advertising and freight and discount allowances. At
this time, the Registrant's only business is the marketing and distribution of
the Indicator. The Registrant is generating revenue from the sale of the
Indicator in Canada (more particularly described in Item 2 of this Amendment No.
1 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB). The Registrant has
a very limited operating history and has not realized significant revenues from
its operations.

The Indicator will be targeted toward: (i) chain drug stores and pharmacy
retailers, (ii) distributors selling to health food chains, and (iii) natural or
homeopathic medical clinics.

Liquidity. The Registrant has been in the development stage since January 19,
1999 (inception). As of December 31, 1999, the Registrant has realized
US$103,401 in revenues from sales of the Indicator. The cost of those sales
amounted to US$68,524, resulting in a gross profit of US$34,877. The
Consolidated Statement of Loss for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999
indicates a net loss of US$221,126. At December 31, 1999, the Registrant had
current assets of US$158,375. The majority of which is represented by US$69,680
in cash; US$40,000 in a loan receivable; US$21,429 in prepaid marketing
expenses; and US$18,570 in accounts receivable. At December 31, 1999, the
Registrant had current liabilities of US$128,774. At December 31, 1999, current
assets exceeded current liabilities by US$29,601. The Registrant is not aware of
any trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties that will result in the
Registrant's liquidity decreasing or increasing in a material way. The
Registrant does currently hold short-term notes payable in the amount of
US$18,054, however, those notes are unsecured. The US$6,415 loan payable to
Campbell Capital Advisory, Inc., a private Canadian corporation controlled by
the Registrant's President, Gordon McDougall, bears no interest and has no fixed
repayment terms. The US$1,939 loan payable to Javelin Enterprises and the
US$9,700 loan payable to Phoenix Titanium Recovery Corp. bear interest at 10%
per annum and are repayable without notice or penalty on or before June 2, 2000
and September 24, 2000, respectively.

Currently, the Registrant's source of liquidity is through the sale of its
common stock, through loans and through revenue raised by sales of the
Indicator. The Registrant believes, however, that the revenue stream produced
through sales of the Indicator is increasing and will provide sufficient
resources to meet its financial obligations for the next 12-month period.

The following chart represents the sales of the Indicator from January 19, 1999
(inception) to December 31, 1999:

The Registrant believes that between its revenue stream and its current cash
resources it will be able to maintain its current operations. However, should
these resources prove to be insufficient, the Registrant may be required to
raise additional funds or arrange for additional financing over the next 12
months to adhere to its development schedule. Such additional capital may be
received from additional private or public financings, as well as borrowings and
other resources. If adequate cash is not available, the Registrant may be
required to curtail its operations significantly or to obtain funds by entering
into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require the
Registrant to relinquish rights that the Registrant would not otherwise
relinquish. No assurance can be given, however, that the Registrant will have
access to additional cash in the future, or that funds will be available on
acceptable terms to satisfy the cash requirements of the Registrant.
