Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIALCONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements and terms such as "expect", "anticipate", "estimate",
"plan", "believe" and words of similar import, regarding the Company's
expectations as to the development and effectiveness of its technology, the
potential demand for its products, and other aspects of its present and future
business operations, constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company
believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the
bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, the Company cannot
guarantee that actual results will not differ materially from its expectations.
Factors which could cause actual results to differ from expectations include,
but are not limited to, those referred to in the following paragraph and in the
discussion under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
General
Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses.
The Company expects operating losses to continue and possibly increase in the
near term and for the foreseeable future as it continues its product development
efforts, conducts clinical trials and undertakes marketing and sales activities
for new products. The Company's ability to achieve profitability is dependent
upon its ability successfully to integrate new technology into its thermotherapy
systems, conduct clinical trials, obtain governmental approvals, and
manufacture, market and sell its new products. Major obstacles facing the
Company over the last several years have included inadequate funding, a negative
net worth, and the slow development of the thermotherapy market due to technical
shortcomings of the thermotherapy equipment available commercially. The Company
has not continued to market its older thermotherapy system, principally because
of the system's inability to provide heat treatment for other than surface and
sub-surface tumors, and has concentrated its efforts on a new generation of
thermotherapy products.
The operating results of the Company have fluctuated significantly in
the past on an annual and a quarterly basis. The Company expects that its
operating results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the
future and will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside the
Company's control.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Comparison of Six Months Ended March 31, 2000
and Six Months Ended March 31, 1999
Product sales for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were only $3,465
as compared to none for the same period in 1999. The limited revenue in the
current period resulted from a parts reorder for older, previously sold
equipment. Product revenues are not expected until development of equipment
incorporating the Company's new technologies is completed and such equipment is
clinically tested and receives necessary approvals from governmental regulatory
agencies.
Research and development expense increased by 63% to $755,774 for the
current period from $463,629 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The
increase of $292,145 in 2000 expenditure levels was attributable to the issuance
of shares of Common Stock issued to Duke University under a license agreement
for thermoliposome technology, research on thermoliposome technology during the
period, and expenditures for its Phase I breast cancer trials at Harbor UCLA
Medical Center and Columbia Hospital during the period ended March 31, 2000. The
Company's expenditures levels for its ongoing BPH trials were consistent with
expenditures in the year earlier. The Company expects expenditures on research
and development expenses to increase for the remainder of the fiscal year as it
completes Phase I of the BPH clinical trials and begins Phase II clinical trials
for its breast cancer and BPH treatment systems.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 91% to
$1,232,837 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, from $646,301 for the
comparable earlier period. The increase of approximately $586,000 was due
primarily to increased legal and financial services associated with the
Company's recent securities offerings and technology licensing and to increased
public relations activities.
Due mainly to the increase in the expenditures listed above for the six
months ending March 31, 2000, the loss from operations for the period rose by
$756,305 to ($1,917,199) from $(1,160,894) in the prior year.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company's expenses have significantly exceeded its
revenues, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $23,898,276 at March 31, 2000.
The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since its
inception, and has funded its operations primarily through the sale of equity
securities. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash of $9,619,276 and total
current assets of $9,921,698 compared with current liabilities of $598,324,
resulting in a working capital surplus of $9,323,374. As of September 30, 1999,
the Company had $1,357,464 in cash and total current assets of $1,424,058
compared with current liabilities of $517,132, which resulted in a working
capital surplus of $902,499 at fiscal year-end. Net cash used in the Company's
operating activities was $2,044,604 for the six months ending March 31, 2000.
The increase in working capital is due to the closing of a private placement
offering on January 31, 2000 netting the Company approximately $4,200,000 and
exercise of warrants (primarily Series 700 and 800) during the period netting
the Company $5,467,118.
The Company does not have any bank financing arrangements and has
funded its operations in recent years primarily through private placement
offerings. For all of fiscal year 2000, the Company expects to expend a total of
about $4 million for breast cancer and BPH clinical testing and for corporate
overhead, which will be funded from its current resources. The foregoing amounts
are estimates based upon assumptions as to the availability of funding, the
scheduling of institutional clinical research and testing personnel, the timing
of clinical trials and other factors, not all of which are fully predictable.
Accordingly, estimates and timing concerning projected expenditures and programs
are subject to change.
The Company's dependence on raising additional capital will continue at
least until the Company is able to begin marketing its new technologies. The
Company's future capital requirements and the adequacy of its financing depend
upon numerous factors, including the successful commercialization of the
thermotherapy systems, progress in its product development efforts, progress
with preclinical studies and clinical trials, the cost and timing of production
arrangements, the development of effective sales and marketing activities, the
cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property
rights, competing technological and market developments, and the development of
strategic alliances for the marketing of its products. The Company will be
required to obtain such funding through equity or debt financing, strategic
alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources not yet
identified. The Company does not have any committed sources of additional
financing, and cannot guarantee that additional funding will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company
may be required to delay, scale-back or eliminate certain aspects of its
operations or attempt to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative
partners or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain
of its technologies, product candidates, products or potential markets.

Item 2. Change in Securities
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company issued the
following securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"):

the holders of such options and warrants consisted of restricted stock endorsed

Securities Act.
2. During the current quarter, the Company sold 4,852.5 shares of a new
Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a price of

The Offering was made through a placement agent ("Placement Agent") which is a
broker-dealer member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, and
shares of Preferred Stock were sold only to accredited investors under
Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
received net proceeds of $4,231,675 from the Offering.
3. On February 14, 2000 the Company's Board of Directors declared a
Preferred Stock dividend to the holders of its Series A Preferred Stock as of
March 31, 2000 at the annual rate of 10% per share. As provided under the terms

During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, John Mon, who is a
director and has acted as the Company's principal operating officer, Secretary

annual salary of $100,000 plus cost-of-living increases and for incentive
options which are exercisable upon the achievement of various corporate
milestones. This option exercise prices are based upon the average closing price
of the Company's Common Stock during the last ten trading days of January 2000,
with step-ups which will result in an exercise range between $2.75 and $3.45 per
share.
Also, the Company has been taking steps to increase its key personnel
resources. In addition to adding administrative assistants, the Company has been
negotiating with candidates (including a current member of its Board of
Directors) for executive-level positions in medical and pharmaceutical product
