ITEM 5 - OTHER EVENTS

On April 5, 2000, Demegen, Inc. (the "Company") closed on a private placement of
its securities to institutional and other accredited investors raising $2.78
million of which $0.38 million was in the form of prepaid services with the
remainder of $2.4 million in cash. The private placement resulted in 5.56
million restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional
5.56 million shares of the Company's common stock.

The investors were offered one unit at $0.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of
one share of restricted common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of the
Company's common stock for $0.75 per share. The warrant expires the earlier of
March 31, 2005 or 60 days after a call by the Company. The Company may call the
warrants at any time after March 31, 2001, provided that the price of the
Company's common stock has been in excess of $1.50 per share for each of the
forty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the call. Upon
receipt of the call, warrant holders shall have sixty days to elect to exercise
all or a portion of the warrants.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities &
Exchange Commission to register all common stock which comprise the unit and the
common stock issuable from the exercise of the warrant on or before March 31,
2001,

Pricing of the securities was determined based on several factors, including
reference to market price of the Company's common stock, the holding period
requirement of restricted stock, and the Company's need for additional funding
for development of pharmaceutical products.

Funds raised will be utilized to fund the Company's product development efforts.
