will  increase the company's ownership to 35%.  Diasense holds
a seat on the board of directors of Diabecore.  Diabecore is a
Toronto-based company working to develop a new insulin for the
treatment of diabetes.

These  investments are being reported on the equity basis  and
differences  between  the investment and  the  underlying  net
assets  of the unconsolidated subsidiaries are being amortized
as goodwill over a 5-year period.  The company's investment in
the  underlying  assets and the unamortized goodwill  of  each
unconsolidated subsidiary as of June 30, 2001 and December 31,

interest  at  a  rate of 10% per year and are  payable  on  or
before  August  13, 2001.  Also during this six-month  period,
the  Company obtained a $50,000 line of credit with PNC  Bank.
As of June 30, 2001, $41,650 had been borrowed under this line
of  credit.  The outstanding balance bears interest at a  rate
of 7% per year.


NOTE G- Subordinated Convertible Debentures

At   December  31,  2000,  the  Company  had  subordinated  4%
convertible   debentures  outstanding   totaling   $2,400,000.
During the first quarter of 2001 the Company issued additional
subordinated  4%  convertible debentures totaling  $8,255,659.
Such convertible debentures were issued pursuant to Regulation
D,  and /or Section 4(2), and have a one-year maturity and are
not  saleable  or convertible for a minimum of  90  days  from
issuance.   A $2,063,915 expense was recognized upon  issuance
for  the  beneficial conversion feature of  these  debentures.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, debentures totaling
$9,741,851  were converted into 261,126,988 shares  of  common
stock.

NOTE H - Legal Proceedings

During  April 1998, the Company and its affiliates were served
with  subpoenas  by the U.S. Attorneys' office  for  the  U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.   The
subpoenas   requested   certain   corporate,   financial   and
scientific  documents  and the Company  continues  to  provide
documents in response to such requests.

On  April  30, 1996, a class action lawsuit was filed  against
the  Company,  Diasense,  Inc., and  individual  officers  and
directors.   The  suit,  captioned  Walsingham  v.  Biocontrol
Technology,  et al., was certified as a class  action  in  the
U.S.  District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
The suit alleged misleading disclosures in connection with the
Noninvasive Glucose Sensor and other related activities, which
the  company denies.  Without agreeing to the alleged  charges
or  acknowledging  any  liability or wrongdoing,  the  company
agreed to settle the lawsuit for a total amount of $3,450,000.
As  of  June  30,  2001, $2,150,000 has been paid  toward  the
settlement.  An additional $1,300,000 is included  in  accrued
liabilities  and will be paid in September 2001.  Although  it
is  not  known whether the class action plaintiffs  have  been
formally  notified of the settlement, or if they have accepted
its  terms,  the company believes that the existing settlement
will end this matter.


NOTE I - Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, "Business Combinations."  SFAS 141 supersedes APB
Opinion No. 16 and FASB Statement No. 38 and requires that
all business combinations be accounted for using the
purchase method.  The provisions of this statement apply to
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of
this pronouncement on its financial statements.

Also in June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets."  SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17
and addresses financial accounting and reporting for
acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.  Under this
provision, goodwill and certain intangible assets will no
longer be amortized.  These assets will be evaluated on a
periodic basis to determine if an impairment loss needs to
be recorded.  The provisions of this statement will be
effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31,
2002.  The Company is in the process of assessing the
impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements.

NOTE J - Subsequent Events

In  July  and  August  2001,  the Company  raised  $11,164,000
through the sale of common stock subscriptions.  As of  August
10, 2001, 409,100,387 shares of stock had been issued to satisfy
$5,650,000 of these subscriptions.

In  July 2001, the Company repaid $6,450,000 in current  notes
payable.

In  July 2001, $854,606 of subordinated convertible debentures
were converted to 30,867,237 shares of common stock.



 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                       and Cash Flows

               Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our  cash  decreased to  $3,094,569 as of June 30,  2001  from
$7,844,807  as  of  December 31, 2000  primarily  due  to  the
factors discussed below.

During  the six months ended June 30, 2001 our net  cash  flow
used  by operating activities was ($14,663,189).   During  the
same  period,  our net cash flow used by investing  activities
was ($3,723,713) due primarily to the acquisition of property,
plant  and  equipment,  additional loans  made  to  a  company
involved  in  the acquisition and management of  environmental
entities,  loans  to  a  company which  manufactures  the  HIV
diagnostic  tests  which  we  are  marketing,  and  additional
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries which we discuss in
the following three paragraphs.

During  the  first  six  months of 2001,  we  made  additional
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.  BICO invested  an
additional $190,000 in American Inter-Metallics, bringing  our
total  investment  in  AIM's  rocket  propulsion  project   to
$1,000,000.   We increased our investment in AIM  because  our
management believes this company will generate earnings.

Our  subsidiary,  Diasense,  Inc.  also  made  investments  in
unconsolidated subsidiaries during the first quarter of  2001.
An  additional  $500,000 was invested in MicroIslet,  Inc.,  a
company  working  with  Duke University  on  several  diabetes
research     technologies    that    focus    on    optimizing
microencapsulated islets for transplantation.  The project  is
in  the  research and development phase. As of June 30,  2001,
Diasense  had  invested  $1,500,000 in  MicroIslet  and  owned
approximately  20% of this company.  Diasense  also  increased
its  investment  in Diabecore Medical, Inc.   Diabecore  is  a
company in Toronto working with other research institutions to
develop  a  new insulin to treat diabetes.  In the  first  six
months  of  2001,  Diasense  invested  $293,948  in  Diabecore
increasing  the  total amount invested  to  $987,468  and  its
ownership  in  this  company  to  approximately  28.2%.   This
project  is  also  in  the  research  and  development  phase.
Diasense   increased  these  investments  because   management
believes  that these diabetes research organizations  and  the
institutions  they  affiliate with  will  bring  strength  and
support to our own diabetes research and development projects.
As a result of those additional investments in American Inter-
Metallics,  MicroIslet  and  Diabecore  Medical,  our  overall
investment  in  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  increased   from
$2,061,439 as of December 31, 2000 to  $2,605,225 at June  30,
2001.   The  money we spent investing in these companies  came
from  notes payable, debenture payable and stock sales  during
2000 and 2001.

Acquisitions   of  property,  plant  and  equipment   included
increases of machinery and equipment of $576,112 for  the  six
months  ended  June  30, 2001 primarily due  to  additions  of
hyperthermia equipment for our ViaCirQ subsidiary.   Leasehold
improvements   increased  by   $133,662   primarily   due   to
renovations made to the Indiana, PA facility.

Current  related party receivables increased during  the  six-
month  period ended June 30, 2001 due to a short-term $110,000
loan  made to Anthony Delvicario, a member of Diasense's board
of  directors.   This  loan is secured by  110,000  shares  of
American  Intermetallics,  Inc.  common  stock  owned  by  Mr.
Delvicario.  Repayment of this loan is expected in  the  third
quarter  of 2001.  Also a $70,000 short-term loan was made  to
Pascal  M. Nardelli, President and Chief Executive Officer  of
Petrol  Rem, Inc.  Repayment of this loan is expected  in  the
third  quarter  of  2001.   Also in the  second  quarter,  the
Company  loaned $625,000 to GAIFAR and Dr. Heinrich  Repke,  a
member of the board of directors of Rapid HIV Detection  Corp.
This  loan is secured by the rights to certain inventory owned
by  GAIFAR  or  the proceeds from the sale of this  inventory.
Repayment of this loan plus interest accrued at 12%  per  year
is  due  in  December 2001.  These additional current  related
party receivables were partially offset by repayments on other
related party notes.

Current notes receivable increased during the six months ended
June  30,  2001 when our subsidiary, Petrol Rem,  advanced  an
additional $1,169,341 to Practical Environmental Solutions, an
unaffiliated   company  involved  in   the   acquisition   and
management  of  environmental companies.  Interest  receivable
increased from $48,252 as of December 31, 2000 to $194,024  at
June  30,  2001  due to additional interest accrued  on  notes
receivable.

Our  net inventory increased from $805,224 as of December  31,
2000  to   $1,063,460 as of June 30, 2001.  The  increase  was
primarily  due  to  an inventory build-up for  the  ThermoChem
hyperthermia products.

Prepaid  expenses decreased from $988,354 as of  December  31,
2000  to  $850,067  as  of June 30, 2001.   The  decrease  was
primarily  due  to amounts prepaid at December  31,  2000  for
insurance  and  debt  acquisition  costs  being  amortized  as
expense during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Accounts  payable increased by $515,152 during the six  months
ended June 30, 2001 due to the timing of payments made in  the
ordinary course of business.  Accrued liabilities increased by
$255,435  during  the same period due to accrued  interest  on
notes  payable  and debentures and increased  liabilities  for
accrued payroll and vacation.

Notes  payable  increased from zero at December  31,  2000  to
$6,491,650  at  June 30, 2001 due to $6,450,000 of notes payable
issued  in order to fund operations and investing activities and
borrowings of $41,650 under a $50,000 line of credit agreement.
In July 2001, the $6,450,000 of notes payable were repaid with
proceeds from the sale of common stock subscriptions.

Our  current portion of long-term debt, decreased by $1,052,848
during the six months ended June  30, 2001 primarily due to
payments of $850,000 on a note payable related to Petrol Rem's
acquisition of 51% interest in INTCO,  Inc.  and  payments of
monthly  installments  on  debt related to commercial insurance
premiums.

Debentures  payable  decreased by $1,486,192  during  the  six
months ended June 30, 2001 due to the conversion of $9,741,851
of  debentures into common stock partially offset by the  sale
of  $8,255,659 of convertible subordinated debentures to raise
capital to fund operations.

In July and August 2001, the Company raised $11,164,000 through
the sale of common stock subscriptions.  As of August 10, 2001,
409,100,387 shares of stock had been issued to satisfy $5,650,000
of these subscriptions.



                    Results of Operations

Our sales and corresponding costs of products sold during the
six months increased to $1,355,475 and $861,870 respectively
in 2001 from $38,813 and $58,228 in 2000.   The increase was
primarily due to sales of $1,115,635 by Petrol Rem's
subsidiary, INTCO, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of
2000 and, therefore, not included in the first six months of
2000 operations.  In addition, we recognized sales of $122,467
from our hyperthermia products, which produced no sales in the
first six months of 2000 and $65,721 from our metal coating
products compared with $21,131 in the first six months of
2000.  The increase in sales of metal coating products was due
to repeat customers who sent us more work once they were
satisfied with our earlier performance as well as the
introduction of a product line for knives and knife
sharpeners.  Other product sales increased in total, but not
significantly.  Bioremediation product sales totaled $35,818
during the first six months of 2001 compared to $18,967 during
the first six months of 2000.  During the first six months of
2001, we recognized sales of $15,775 for our theraPORT, an
implantable device used by patients who have repeated
injections of drugs.  The theraPORT is implanted in the
patient's chest and provides a fixed port for catheters used
to deliver the drugs the patient needs.  Until we have
significant sales, we can't predict any trends for future
revenues.  Our costs of products sold increased due to the
increase in sales of our various products.

Other income increased from zero during the first six months
of 2000 to $8,563 during the first six months of 2001.  The
increase was primarily due to rental income.

Research and Development expenses during the first six months
decreased to $2,861,146 in 2001 from $3,805,960 in 2000.   The
decrease was due to reduced research activities on our
hyperthermia products and the redeployment of resources from
research activities to production of hyperthermia products.

General and administrative expenses increased a total of
approximately $5.2 million for the first six months of 2001 as
compared to 2000.  Approximately $3.1 million of the increase
is attributable to additional salaries, which include a
$912,727 payment to David L. Purdy in connection with his
resignation from the Company and its affiliates and new hiring
at ViaCirq and Petrol Rem (Including INTCO and Tireless, LLC).
$1.4 million of the increase represents increased outside
consulting fees, approximately $600,000 of which was incurred
in connection with ViaCirq's sales and marketing efforts for
the ThermoChem system.  Approximately $400,000 of the increase
is due to increased travel expenses, primarily for ViaCirq's
and Petrol Rem's increased marketing efforts.

Amortization of goodwill increased from $136,737  to  $374,768
for the first six months of 2000 to 2001.  The increase is due
to additional investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries as of
June 30, 2001 compared with June 30, 2000.  A portion of these
investments  is  recognized as goodwill and amortized  over  a
five-year  period.   Our  loss in unconsolidated  subsidiaries
increased  to  $165,588  for the  first  six  months  of  2001
compared  to  $8,750 for the same period in 2000  due  to  the
increased  investments in unconsolidated  subsidiaries.   This
loss  resulted because we absorbed part of losses incurred  by
unconsolidated  subsidiaries.   Our  share  of  the  loss   is
determined by applying our ownership percentage to  the  total
loss incurred.

Debt issue costs increased from $985,000 to $1,520,158 for the
first  six  months of 2000 to 2001.  The increase  is  due  to
additional debentures and notes payable during the  first  six
months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.

Beneficial   conversion  terms  included  in  our  convertible
debentures   are  recognized  as  expense  and   credited   to
additional   paid  in  capital  at  the  time  the  associated
debentures are issued.  We recognized $2,063,915 of expense in
connection  with the issuance of our subordinated  convertible
debentures  in  the  first  six months  of  2001  compared  to
$2,462,500 for the same period in 2000.  The amount  decreased
primarily  because  we  issued  fewer  debentures  this   year
compared to last year.
