(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
As previously reported, Registrant discontinued sales of its
hyperthermia equipment in order to concentrate on the development of its new
cancer and BPH treatment technologies. Accordingly, the Registrant will not
report any revenues or gross profit for the three-month and six-month periods
ended March 31, 1999, compared with revenues of $110,260 and gross profit of
$64,760 for such periods in the prior year. Also, as a result of its overhead
reduction measures, Registrant will report a decrease in total operating
expenses from $1,114,274 and $1,942,176, respectively, for the three-month and
six-month periods in 1998, to approximately $585,000 and $1,050,000,
respectively, for the current three- and six-month periods. The net loss to be
reported for the current three-month period will accordingly decrease to
approximately $(613,000) from $(1,057,008) in 1998, and the six-month net loss
will be approximately $(1,057,000) compared to $(1,914,181) in 1998.
