        Item 1.        Change in Control of Registrant.
                       Not applicable.

        Item 2.        Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
                       Not applicable.

        Item 3.        Bankruptcy or Receivership.
                       Not applicable.

        Item 4.        Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
                       Not applicable.

        Item 5.        Other Events.
                       On March 29, 1996, Biocontrol Technology, Inc.
                       announced that it recently withdrew a Securities and
                       Exchange Commission (SEC) preregistration of 5,000,000
                       shares of stock because recent events made it
                       impossible for the Company to abide by the SEC's "quiet
                       period" mandated while registration is pending.  This
                       quiet period prohibits a company from advertising or
                       promoting in any fashion.  At the time the
                       preregistration was submitted, the Company could not
                       have foreseen the publicity that would occur and cause
                       a need for extensive communication with its
                       stockholders regarding its Diasensor 1000 noninvasive
                       glucose sensor for diabetics and the status of the
                       Company.

                       Biocontrol also stated that such registration can
                       be submitted to the SEC in the future if necessary,
                       after a period of time.

                       The Company stressed that, in the meantime, it has
                       other means of raising capital; i.e., private
                       placement, selling to institutions, investments from
                       corporate partners, etc.

                       At this time, Biocontrol has sufficient cash to
                       carry it through any additional testing required by the
                       FDA.  To fund an initial startup inventory for the
                       Diasensor 1000 noninvasive glucose sensor, it will be
                       necessary for the Company to sell additional shares.

                       The withdrawal of the SEC preregistration in no
                       way effects the special shareholders' meeting scheduled
                       for 9:00 a.m., April 11, 1996, at the Westin William
                       Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA.  At that meeting, besides
                       being updated on the Company's various projects, the
                       stockholders have been asked to authorize an additional
                       20,000,000 shares of stock.

        Item 6.        Resignation of Registrant's Directors.
                       Not Applicable


        Item 7.        Financial Statement, Pro Forma Financial Information
                       and Exhibits.

                       (a)  Financial Statements and Businesses Acquired
                            Not Applicable.

                       (b)   Pro Forma Financial Information - Not Applicable.

                       (c)  Exhibits - News Release
