                                PROXY STATEMENT
                        ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                                 ------------

                          To Be Held January 13, 1998

    This Proxy  Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation  of
proxies  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Cyclo3pss  Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), to be voted at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders to
be held January 13, 1998, and at any adjournment(s)  thereof. The Annual Meeting
of Stockholders (the "Meeting") will be held at the Company's offices located at
3646 West 2100 South,  Salt Lake City, Utah 84120 at 10:30 a.m. local time. This
Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Proxy were
first given to the Company's stockholders on or about December 5, 1997.

    Matters  to come  before  the  Meeting  are:  (1) the  election  of five (5)
directors to the Board of  Directors  to serve until the 1998 Annual  Meeting of
Stockholders and thereafter until their successors are elected and are qualified
and (2) the  ratification  of the  appointment  of  Ernst  &  Young,  LLP as the
Company's  independent  accountant for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1998,
all as are more fully described herein.

                       RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

    The  securities  of the Company  entitled to vote at the Meeting  consist of
shares of the Company's  common stock,  $.001 par value.  Only  stockholders  of
record at the close of business on November  24,  1997,  the record date for the
Meeting, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On the record
date, the Company had outstanding  15,063,779  shares of common stock which were
owned by approximately 392 Stockholders of record.  See "Principal  Stockholders
and Security  Ownership of Management"  for  information  concerning  beneficial
ownership of the Company's common stock.

    Assuming a quorum is present,  the five (5) nominees  receiving the greatest
number of votes  cast by the  holders  of the  common  stock  will be elected as
directors.  There will be no  cumulative  voting in the  election of  directors.
Assuming a quorum is present,  the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the  shares of common  stock  present  in person or  represented  by proxy is
required for approval of Proposal 2.

    Abstentions  are  treated as present and  entitled  to vote at the  Meeting.
Therefore,  abstentions  will be  counted  in  determining  whether  a quorum is
present and will have the effect of a vote against a matter.  A broker  non-vote
on a matter (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which

                                      4

<PAGE>



instructions  have not been  received  from the  beneficial  owners  or  persons
entitled  to  vote  and  as to  which  the  broker  or  nominee  does  not  have
discretionary  power to vote on a particular  matter) is considered not entitled
to vote on that matter and, thus,  will not be counted in determining  whether a
quorum is present or whether a matter  requiring  approval  of a majority of the
shares present and entitled to vote has been approved.

    All  proxies  received  pursuant to this  solicitation  will be voted at the
Meeting  and at any  adjournments  thereof  as  indicated  in the  proxy.  If no
instructions are given, the persons named in the proxy solicited by the Board of
Directors  of the  Company  intend  to vote for the  nominees  for  election  as
directors of the Company listed below and for Proposal 2.

                            REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

    Any proxy given pursuant to this  solicitation  may be revoked by the person
giving it at any time  before  its use by  delivering  to the  Secretary  of the
Company a written notice of revocation or a duly- executed proxy bearing a later
date or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

          PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

    The following table sets forth information regarding shares of the Company's
common stock owned  beneficially  as of November  24, 1997 by each  director and
nominee  for  director,  each of the  executive  officers  of the  Company,  all
officers  and  directors  as a group and each  person  known by the  Company  to
beneficially  own 5% or more of the outstanding  shares of the Company's  common
stock.  Except as may be indicated in the  footnotes to the table,  each of such
persons  has sole  voting  and  investment  power  with  respect  to the  shares
beneficially owned.  Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Under this Rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
more than one person (such as where  persons  share  voting power or  investment
power). In addition,  shares are deemed to be beneficially  owned by a person if
the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an
option) within 60 days of the date as of which the  information is provided;  in
computing  the  percentage  ownership  of  any  person,  the  amount  of  shares
outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such
person  (and only such  person)  by reason  of these  acquisition  rights.  As a
result,  the  percentage  of  outstanding  shares of any  person as shown in the
following table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual voting power at
any particular date:

1 An "In-the-Money"  stock option is an option for which the market price of the
Company's  common stock  underlying the option on February 29, 1997 exceeded the
option exercise  price.  The value shown is calculated by multiplying the number
of unexercised  options by the difference  between (i) the closing price for the
common  stock on NASDAQ  Small Cap Market on February  29, 1997 ($1.09) and (ii)
the  exercise  price of the stock  options  ($1.85 for the  300,000  exercisable
options granted under the original grant and $1.07 for the 100,000 unexercisable
options granted under the extensions).

Compensation of Directors

      The  Company's  non-employee  directors  are paid  $250 for each  Board of
Directors meeting attended. On August 26, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a  Non-Employee  Director's  Stock  Option Plan which  provides for the
issuance of a maximum of 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to
the exercise of options  granted  under the Plan.  The Plan  provides  that each
non-employee  director will be issued an option to purchase  5,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  on  the  date  of  the  Company's  Annual  Meeting  of
Stockholders,  commencing  in  1994.  After an  option  is  granted,  it will be
exercisable for a period of five years.  The Options granted under this plan are
exercisable at $1.85 per share. This  Non-Employee  Director's Stock Option Plan
was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
held December 10, 1993.


                                      9

<PAGE>



      Effective  September 1, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved an
additional  25,000  options to be granted,  5,000  shares  each to  Non-Employee
Directors on the date of the Company's  Annual Meeting of  Stockholders in 1997.
After these options are granted,  they will be exercisable  for a period of five
years.  The Options  granted under this additional plan are exercisable at $1.07
per share,  which is deemed to have been the fair market value of the  Company's
common stock on  September 1, 1996,  the date the plan was approved and enacted.
(See "Proposal 2.")

Stock Incentive Plan

      On December 21, 1992,  the Company's  Board of Directors  approved a Stock
Incentive  Plan (the  "Plan")  which  provides  for the issuance of a maximum of
270,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the exercise of options
granted  under the Plan.  Options  granted under the Plan are intended to comply
with Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
On May 9, 1994, the Plan was amended by the Board of Directors.  Such amendments
did not increase the number of options  which may be issued,  change the persons
who may be granted options,  or in any way materially  affect the Plan. The Plan
is  administered  by the Board of  Directors  or a committee  of the Board which
selects  the persons to whom  options are granted and the terms of the  options.
The Plan  provides  that the option  price may not be less than 100% of the fair
market  price  on the date the  option  is  granted  and that no  option  may be
exercisable  for longer than 10 years.  The Plan was  approved by the  Company's
stockholders  at the Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  held  December  10, 1993.
Options  under the Plan may be granted to  directors  and key  employees  of the
Company.  To date,  one officer has been granted  options  under the Plan.  This
employee was not an officer in November,  1993 at the time that the options were
granted.  The shares of common stock  underlying  the options  granted under the
Plan were registered by the Company with the filing of Form S-8 dated August 31,
1994, which is incorporated herein by reference.

      Options  Granted  under the Plan.  As of November 24, 1997,  the following
options have been granted under the Plan:

            On March 1, 1993,  options to purchase an aggregate of 18,000 shares
      were granted to three employees of the Company, none of whom were officers
      or directors at the time of the grant.  Such  options are  exercisable  at
      $1.75 per share for a period of 7 years  commencing one year from the date
      such options were granted and subject to certain  provisions  of the Plan.
      As of November 24, 1997,  14,000 of these options have been  exercised and
      4,000 were still outstanding.

            On November 11, 1993,  options to purchase a total of 49,000  shares
      were granted to 11 employees of the Company, none of whom were officers or
      directors  of the  Company  at the time of the  grant.  Such  options  are
      exercisable  at $1.85 per  share.  Subsequently,  11,000 of these  options
      canceled pursuant to the terms of the Plan when the optionee's' employment
      with the Company  terminated.  As of November  24,  1997,  13,000 of these
      options have been exercised and 25,000 were still outstanding.

      options are exercisable at $6.03 per share. Subsequently,  69,000 of these
      options were canceled  pursuant to the terms of the Plan when three of the
      optionees'  employment  with the Company  terminated.  As of November  24,

      canceled  pursuant to the terms of the Plan when five (5)of the optionees'
      employment with the Company terminated. As of November 24, 1997, 21,000 of
      these options were still outstanding.

      were granted to 12 employees of the Company, none of whom were officers or

              PROPOSAL 2:  RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITORS

      The accounting firm of Ernst & Young, LLP audited the Company's  financial
statements for the year ended February 28, 1997. The Board of Directors  desires
to continue the services of Ernst & Young,  LLP for the year ending February 28,
1998. The affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common
stock represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to ratify the
selection of Ernst & Young,  LLP as the Company's  independent  certified public
accountant.

Recommendation of Board of Directors

      The Board of  Directors  recommends  a vote FOR the proposal to ratify the
selection of Ernst & Young,  LLP as the Company's  independent  certified public
accountant for the year ending February 28, 1998.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

      Section 16 of the Exchange Act requires the filing of reports for sales of
the  Company's  common  stock made by  officers,  directors,  and 10% or greater
shareholders.  A Form 4 must  be  filed  within  10  days  after  the end of the
calendar month in which a sale or purchase occurred.  Based upon review of Forms
4 filed with the Company,  the  following  disclosure  is required in this Proxy
Statement:

      The only transaction  during the fiscal year of which the Company is aware
wherein  securities of the Company were purchased or sold by persons  subject to
Section  16(a) was a single  transaction  on  October  4, 1996  wherein  John M.
Williams  (Chairman,  Director and CEO)  exercised an option to purchase  shares
from Robert J. Wrigley (Director)  pursuant to an option entered into on October
4, 1991. Forms 4 were filed by these individuals.  However, this transaction was
not subject to Rule 16 because the option was granted  more than two years prior
to the Company becoming a "reporting company".
