NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1998
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion
of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company at October 31, 1998, and the results of its operations for
the three and six months periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1998 and its
cash flows for the six month periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1998.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission although the
Company believes that the disclosures in the financial statements are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements of the Company, included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1998 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 1998.
Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As
shown in the financial statements, the Company is in the development
stage and, at October 31, 1998 has accumulated losses from operations
amounting to $10,033,787 and a working capital deficit of $231,977. The
Company is in the pre-clinical trial stage of its products. These
products must undergo further development and testing prior to
submission to the FDA for approval to market the products. The Company's
continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow, to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to
obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain
successful operations. However, no assurance can be given at this time
as to whether the Company will achieve any of these conditions or that
the FDA approval will be granted, once
5
6
applied for. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time. Additional funding will be necessary which will require future
private placements and/or joint ventures to enable the Company to
continue the required testing through Phase I, II and III human testing.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage - Because the Company has not commenced principal
operations, it is considered a "Development Stage Enterprise" as defined
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
Pricing of Common Stock and Options to Purchase Common Stock - The
Company's Board of Directors determines the issuance price of its common
stock and options to purchase common stock to be fair market value,
derived from recent issuance of common stock to unrelated parties and/or
from common stock market quotations.
Property and Equipment - Property is recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the
shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging
from three to ten years, or lease term, if applicable.
Patents - Patent costs are being amortized over the lesser of the
remaining life of the patent or the estimated useful life of the related
product, ranging from eight to ten years. The Company evaluates
recoverability of patents on at least an annual basis by comparing the
estimated resale value of the patents to the remaining carrying values.
An adjustment to the carrying value of the patent rights would be made
if the estimated resale value of the patents is determined to be
insufficient to recover such value.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Contracts - The Company has employment agreements with a
certain officer with aggregate future commitments of $302,000 through
March 2001.
6
7
Litigation - The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course
of the business, none of which management believes will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial statements as of October 31,
1998.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the period ending October 31, 1998, the Company issued 125,000
shares of the Company's common stock in satisfaction of a $26,250
liability due for rent of the Company's research facility. The stock was
valued at the fair market value at the date of issuance.
During the period ending October 31, 1998, the Company issued 170,000
shares of the Company's common stock to a director/stockholder in
exchange for services rendered. As a result of this transaction the
Company recognized an expense of $28,050, representing the fair market
value of the common stock issued.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and
those discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-
Three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1998:
The Research and Development expenses for the three months period ended October
31, 1998 was $ 47,873, compared to $ 37,986 for the same period in the prior
year. This increase was due to a increase in research supplies and the addition
of a research laboratory in California.
General and Administrative expenses for the three months period ended October
31, 1998 were $189,335, compared to $337,813 for the same period in the prior
year. This decrease was due primarily to an expense related to stock issued
below fair market value of $180,000 incurred in the prior year.
The net loss for the three months ended October 31, 1998 was $237,961, compared
to $377,517 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease represented the
difference between a decrease in administrative expense offset by an increase in
research expense.
Six months ended October 31, 1997 and 1998
The Research and Development expenses for the six months period ended October
31, 1998 was $ 72,855, compared to $ 83,533 for the same period in the prior
year. This decrease was due to a reduction in research personnel and supplies.
8
9
General and Administrative expenses for the six months period ended October
31,1998 were $392,723, compared to $508,659 for the same period in the prior
year. This decrease was due primarily to an expense related to stock issued
below fair market value of $180,000 incurred in the prior year offset by an
increase in personnel costs and legal fees.
The net loss for the six months ended October 31, 1998 was $465,623, compared to
$594,588 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease represented the
combined effect of a decrease in administrative expense and a decrease in
research expense.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL SOURCES
The Company has financed its operations since September 1990, when the current
management became involved, through the issuance of debt and equity securities
and loans from stockholders. As of October 31, 1998 the Company had $266,139 in
total current assets and a working capital deficit of $231,977.
The Company is in the pre-clinical trial stage in the development of its
products. These products must undergo further development and testing prior to
submission to the FDA for approval to market its products. This additional
development and testing and if approved, the FDA required clinical testing will
require significant additional financing. Management is actively pursuing
strategic alliance and joint venture agreements to enable the Company to develop
its products. There can be no assurance that FDA approval will be granted, once
applied for, or that necessary funding will be obtained.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company has no derivative financial instruments and no exposure to foreign
currency exchange rates or interest rate risk.
