On December 1, 1997, United States District Judge Daniel B. Sparr
dismissed Civil Action No.: 97 S 1479 filed against Registrant and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Biotrol International, Inc. ("Biotrol") in the
United States District Court for Colorado by Cottrell, Ltd. ("Cottrell").
The Court found that Cottrell's complaint sought a determination as to
whether Birex(TM) labels, Biotrol's hard surface dental disinfectant product,
violated Environmental Protection Agency labeling regulations. The Court
held that the resolution of the complaint would require the Court to
interpret and apply regulations which are within the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Accordingly, the Court granted Registrant and Biotrol's motion to
dismiss, denied Cottrell's motion for leave to amend its complaint and
dismissed the case in its entirety.
Both Biotrol and Cottrell sell cleaning solutions to dental dealers.
The products are used to disinfect countertops and other hard surfaces
in dental offices. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates
such products and reviews advertising and labeling claims made about the
products by manufacturers.
ITEM 6. Resignation of Registrant's Directors. None.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits. None.
ITEM 8. Changes in Fiscal Year. None.
