ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

On March 31, 1995, Biomagnetic Technologies Inc. (the "Company") completed the
sale of 25,000,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company to
Dassesta International S.A. ("Dassesta"), a foreign investment group, for
$15,000,000. Following the closing, Dassesta is the beneficial owner of
approximately 71% of the outstanding shares of the Company (63% considering the
effect of the expected conversion of short-term notes payable to Common Stock
discussed in Item 2.). The shares issued to Dassesta have identical rights,
preferences and privileges as all other outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company.

The Company's By-laws provide that the authorized number of directors shall not
be less than five nor more than nine and the exact number of directors presently
authorized and serving is seven.  It is anticipated that the exact number of
directors authorized will be increased to eight or nine and that any vacancies
then existing would be filled by designees of Dassesta.

The Company is not aware of any arrangement which, at a subsequent date, would
result in a change in control of the Company.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On March 31, 1995, the Company completed the sale of 25,000,000 newly issued
shares of Common Stock of the Company to Dassesta for $15,000,000 in cash.   See
Item 1.

In connection with the Dassesta transaction, the Company has arranged with
certain holders of short-term debt to either retire such debt using a portion of
the proceeds from the Dassesta transaction or convert such debt to shares of
Common Stock of the Company under certain negotiated terms.  The accompanying
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are presented to show the pro
forma effect on the Company's historical consolidated financial position and
results of operations of i) the sale of Common Stock to Dassesta and the net
proceeds therefrom,  ii) the March 31, 1995 retirement of $500,000 short-term
notes payable and accrued interest thereon and iii) the expected conversion of
$2,210,000 of short-term notes payable plus accrued interest and additional 
principal of $221,000 to approximately 4,800,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Company at a rate of $0.54 per share.
