SUMMARY
The following summary is only a shortened version of the more
detailed information, exhibits and financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus. Prospective investors are urged to
read this prospectus in its entirety.
MW Medical, Inc.
We are in the business of designing and developing microwave
technologies for dermatological applications through a wholly owned
subsidiary named Microwave Medical Corporation. MMC is in
various stages of research and development on several new
applications and products while MW Medical is actively marketing
our main product, the MW 2000 hair removal system. . See Section
on "Description of Business."
Our principal executive offices are at 6617 N. Scottsdale Road,
Suite 103, Scottsdale, AZ, 85250 (telephone no.: (480) 315-8600).
In December 1999 through January 2000, we offered and sold to the
Selling Shareholders 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in a
private placement exempt from registration under Rule 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act, along with warrants to purchase
100,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. From July
2000 through September 2000, we offered and sold 1,860,000 shares
of our common stock in a private placement exempt from registration
under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, along with
warrants to purchase 186,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.75
per share, of which the selling shareholders purchased 1,460,000
shares and warrants to purchase 146,000 shares. As part of these
sales, we agreed to a registration rights agreement in which we are
obligated to register all the shares we sold, including the shares
of common stock underlying the warrants. See the section entitled
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" -
"Registration Rights" for a discussion of the registration rights
agreement.
The common stock offered by the selling shareholders through this
prospectus is the common stock we sold them plus the common stock
underlying their warrants. We are filing this registration
statement in order to satisfy our obligations to the selling
shareholders under the registration rights agreement.
Securities Being Offered Up to 2,706,000 shares of common stock;
See Section entitled "Description Of
Securities To Be Registered."
Securities Issued
And to be Issued As of the date of this prospectus,
21,292,443 shares of common stock are
issued and outstanding. Existing
shareholders will sell all of the common
stock sold under this prospectus. See
Section entitled "Description Of Securities
To Be Registered".
Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of the common stock by the selling
shareholders. See "Use Of Proceeds."

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered through this prospectus is
highly speculative and subject to a high degree of risk. Only those
who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should
participate. Prospective investors should carefully consider the
following factors, among others, before making an investment in the
common stock described in this document.
If We Do Not Get Additional Financing, There is a Risk that Our
Business Will Fail.
While we have just completed a financing through the sale of common
stock in September 2000, we will not be able to fully expand or
operate our business as planned without obtaining additional
financing in the near future. If this financing is not available
or obtainable, investors may lose a substantial portion or all of
their investment and our business may fail. We currently have no
immediate means for obtaining this additional financing.
Consequently, we cannot assure investors that additional financing,
when necessary, will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at
all.
Because Ours is a New Venture and We Have Little Experience in the
Operation of Our Business and Sale of Our Products, There is a Risk
that Our Business May Fail.
We have only recently incorporated, and, to date, have been
involved primarily in organization and product development.
Moreover, our sales activities, to date, have been largely
unsuccessful. Our only active subsidiary, Microwave Medical
Corporation, had been conducted as a division of Dynamic
Associates, Inc. for approximately 2 years and, accordingly does
not have any independent operating history. In addition, MMC has
no prior operating history or experience in manufacturing,
developing, and bringing to market our products. Potential
investors should be aware that there is a substantial risk of
failure associated with new businesses because of problems
encountered in connection with their formation and operation.
These problems include, but are not limited to:
(1) unanticipated problems relating to the marketing and sale
of a new product in the marketplace;
(2) the entry of new competition; and
(3) unknown or unexpected additional costs and expenses that
may exceed current estimates.
We have only a limited operating history upon which to base any
projection of the likelihood we will prove successful, and thus we
cannot assure potential investors that we will achieve profitable
operations or even generate any operating revenues.
Because Our Products are New and Untested in the Market Place,
There is a Risk that They Will Not Sell in Sufficient Quantities or
Fast Enough to Support Business Operations.
Since we are introducing a new product into the market, we have no
real track record of sales for the product. The product may
therefore not sell in large enough quantities or fast enough to
support business operations and make a profit. General market
conditions might be such that sales will be slow or even non-
existent, or the product itself might not fit the needs of buyers
enough to induce
4
sales. While we anticipate the ability to sell
the products we develop, we cannot predict the volume of sales that
will occur or even if sales will be sufficient to support the
future operations of our company. Numerous factors beyond our
control may affect the marketability of the products offered and
developed. These factors include:
* consumer demand,
* market fluctuations,
* the proximity and capacity of suppliers, and
* government regulations, including regulations relating to:
o prices,
o taxes,
o royalties,
o importing of products,
o exporting of products, and
o environmental controls.
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted,
but may result in our not receiving an adequate return on our
invested capital.
If Our Products Prove to be Defective, We Will Be Liable for
Resulting Losses Which May Cause Our Business to Fail.
Since we are introducing a new product into the market, we have
only a very limited track record of the product's operation. The
product may over time operate defectively or cause injury to
persons or property, even when operated as designed. This is
particularly true of products used in the treatment of health or
cosmetic problems directly on individuals, such as the products
being designed by us. If we are unable to repair any such defect,
we may be required to refund purchase money or be held responsible
for losses incurred because of the defect, including direct and
consequential damages to persons or property. Moreover, even if we
are able to repair the defect, we may be held liable for losses or
injuries caused by the defect before it can be fixed. In such a
case, we may experience losses, or, in severe cases, be unable to
continue operations.
Because The Medical Equipment Industry is Extremely Competitive,
There is a Risk that Our Competitors Sales Will Reduce Our Profits
or Force Us Out of Business.
Competition in the sale of medical equipment used for
dermatological and related medical applications is intense and
expected to increase. Furthermore, we will face competition from
numerous companies that currently market, or are developing
products similar to those being developed by us. Many of these
companies have significantly greater marketing, financial and
managerial resources than we do. We cannot assure investors that
our competitors will not succeed in developing and distributing
products that will render our products obsolete or noncompetitive.
Generally, such competition will reduce our profits and potentially
force us out of business.
Because of the Nature of Our Products, We May Be Subject to
Government Regulations or Laws that Increase Our Costs of
Operations or Decrease Our Ability To Generate Income.
We, along with our subsidiary, are subject to United States and
international laws and regulations regarding the development,
production, transportation and sale of the products we sell. We
may be
5
required to comply with certain restrictive regulations, or
potential future regulations, rules, or directives. Due to the
nature of the medical equipment industry, we cannot guarantee that
restrictive regulations will not, in the future, be imposed. Such
potential regulatory conditions or compliance with such regulations
may increase our cost of operations or decrease our ability to
generate income.
Because We Plan to Sell Products Used in the Practice of Medicine,
We May be Subject to Potential Medical Malpractice Liability Claims
As Well As Products' Liability Claims.
Although we only sell products used in the practice of medicine and
are not engaged in the practice of medicine ourselves, the use of
our equipment in the treatment of spider veins and hair removal
entails the risk of professional liability claims as well as
product liability claims. Consequently, we may be named as a
defendant or co-defendant in such claims. While we currently
maintain some medical malpractice and products liability insurance
for our business, we cannot provide investors with any assurance
that this insurance will prove adequate or cover all claims made
against us. Judgments against us with respect to all such claims
in the future could have an adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow.
If Our Stock is De-listed, There is a Risk that the Market Value of
Our Stock Would Decline.
In order for our shareholders to sell their common stock through
the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Market, we must continue
to meet the Bulletin Board's listing qualifications. We cannot
provide any assurance that in the future our common stock will
continue to meet these listing qualifications. De-listing from the
Bulletin Board or other market could cause, among other things:
* A decline in the market price of the common stock;
* Difficulty in obtaining future financing;
* Difficulty in using common stock as consideration for
acquisitions; and
* Investors to be unable to sell their stock
Because We Are a New, Small Company With a Relatively Untested
Market, The Price of Our Stock is Very Volatile and May Decline.
Recently, the stock market in general, and the shares of bio-tech
companies in particular, have experienced significant price
fluctuations. These broad market and industry fluctuations may
cause the market price of the common stock to decline dramatically.
Factors such as quarterly fluctuations in results of operations,
the timing and terms of future acquisitions and general conditions
in the healthcare industry may have a significant impact on the
market price of the stock. The market price of our common stock has
been and may continue to be very volatile.
If the Selling Shareholders Sell a Large Number of Shares All at
Once or In Blocks, The Market Price of Our Shares Would Most Likely
Decline.
The selling shareholders are offering all of the common stock
offered through this prospectus. The selling shareholders are not
restricted in the price they can sell the common stock. Shares sold
at a price below the current market price at which the common stock
is trading may cause that market price to decline. The outstanding
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus and the shares of
common stock covered by this prospectus that are issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of our
6
convertible debentures and warrants, represent about 12.71% of our
outstanding shares as of October 3, 2000.
If the Selling Shareholders Exercise Their Warrant Rights, The
Ownership Percentage Interest Of Existing Shareholders Will Be
Diminished and The Price of Our Stock May Decline.
Investors should note that the exercise price of the warrants while
higher than the market price on the date of this offering would
most likely be below market price at the time of exercise. The
exercise and sale of the selling shareholder's 246,000 shares in
combination may have a substantial negative effect on the market
price of the common stock at that time.
If We Are Unable to Maintain the Effectiveness of this Registration
Statement, We Will Be Subject to Penalties.
We are subject to a registration rights agreement that required us
to register certain of our common stock with the Commission. Under
this agreement, we must also maintain this registration until all
of the securities covered by the agreement are sold or can be sold
publicly without benefit of this registration. If we are unable to
obtain or maintain this Registration, we will be subject to
penalties under this agreement.
If We lose any Key Personnel or Management, We May Lose Business
Sales or Be Unable to Otherwise Fully Operate Our Business.
Due to the highly technical nature of our business, we are
dependent on certain key personnel. Such personnel include our
scientific consultant and our sales people who have intricate
knowledge of our products and potential customers. Consequently,
the loss of any of these people may cause us to be unable to fully
operate for a period of time.
Moreover, we are dependent on the principal members of our
management staff, the loss of any of whom could impair the
development or sale of our products and projects. Our success will
be largely dependent on the decisions made by members of
management. Furthermore, we may depend on our ability to attract
and retain additional qualified personnel to manage certain
business interests. We may have to recruit qualified personnel
with competitive compensation packages, equity participation and
other benefits that may reduce the working capital available for
our operations. Management may seek to obtain outside independent
professionals to assist them in assessing the merits and risks of
any business proposals as well as assisting in the development and
operation of any projects. We cannot assure investors that we will
be able to obtain this needed assistance on reasonable terms.
If We Are Unable to Protect Our Technology From Use By Competitors,
There is a Risk that We Will Sustain Losses or Our Business May
Fail
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and
enforce intellectual property protection for our technology in both
the United States and other countries. We have been issued a patent
from the United States Patent and Trademark Office entitled,
"Method and Apparatus for Treating Subcutaneous Histological
Features," which focuses on the application of microwave energy to
the treatment of spider veins and for use in hair removal. We
cannot assure investors that this or any
7
other patent rights issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated
or circumvented, that the rights granted under this or other patents
will provide competitive advantages to us, or that our competitors will
not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technology. Furthermore, if an action is
brought, a court may find that we have infringed on the patents owned
by others. We may have to go to court to defend our patents, to
prosecute infringements, or to defend ourselves from infringement
claims by others. We are not aware of any such patent litigation
at this time.
Patent litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and well-funded
adversaries can use such actions as part of a strategy for
depleting the resources of a small company such as us. We cannot
assure investors that we will have sufficient resources to
successfully prosecute our interests in any litigation that may be
brought.
Because Forward Looking Statements are Inherently Unreliable,
Investors Should Not Rely on Such Assessments In Making Their
Investment Decision.
The information contained in this section and elsewhere may at
times represent our best estimates of our future financial and
technological performance, based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable. We make no representation or warranty, however, as to
the accuracy or completeness of any of these assumptions, and
nothing contained in this document should be relied upon as a
promise or representation as to any future performance or events.
Our ability to accomplish our objectives, and whether or not we
will be financially successful is dependent upon numerous factors,
each of which could have a material effect on the results obtained.
Some of these factors are within the discretion and control of
management and others are beyond management's control. Management
considers the assumptions and hypothesis used in preparing any
forward-looking assessments of profitability contained in this
document to be reasonable by management. However, we cannot assure
investors that any projections or assessments contained in this
document or otherwise made by management will be realized or
achieved at any level. Prospective investors should have this
prospectus reviewed by their personal investment advisors, legal
counsel or accountants to properly evaluate the risks and
contingencies of this offering.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock
offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the common stock will not be determined by us
but by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling
shareholders. See section entitled "Selling Shareholders".
DILUTION
Two million, eight hundred and sixty thousand shares of the common
stock to be sold by the selling shareholders in this offering are
common stock that are currently issued and outstanding.
Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders
upon the sale of these shares.
8
However, the exercise of the warrants that represent a part of this
prospectus would have the effect of diluting the interest of the
existing shareholders.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Our common stock has been traded on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board system, under
the symbol MWMD, since April 5, 1999. We can provide investors no
assurance that in the future the common stock will meet the
continued listing qualifications of the Bulletin Board.
The following table provides the high and low sales prices per
share of the common stock as reported by the Bulletin Board since
the stock began trading:

Trading of our stock did not begin until Second Quarter 1999.
As of the close of business on October 3, 2000, the last reported
sales price per share of our common stock was $0.875.
There were 458 holders of record of our common stock at the close

persons whose shares are held by a bank, brokerage house or
clearing company, but does include such banks, brokerage houses and
clearing companies.
No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock since our
organization and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain earnings for
future growth and expansion opportunities.

None of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners has had
a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder as
noted above at any time within the past three years.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders, or their respective pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest, may sell some or all
of the common stock in one or more transactions, including block
transactions:
(1) on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or on such
other market on which the common stock may from time to time
be trading;
(2) in privately negotiated transactions;
(3) through the writing of options on the common stock;
(4) in short sales; or
(5) in any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public may be:
(1) the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
(2) a price related to such prevailing market price; or
(3) such other price as the selling shareholders determine
from time to time.
The common stock may also be sold in compliance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders, or their respective pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the
common stock directly to market makers acting as principals or
brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common
stock as principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such
transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling
shareholders or the purchaser. The selling shareholders will pay
the usual and customary brokerage fees. Brokers or dealers may
agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of
shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such
broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling
shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the
price required to fulfill the
13
respective broker's or dealer's
commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who
acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from
time to time in transactions in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with
such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the
purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and
block transactions that may involve sales to and through other
brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders also
may have distributed, or may distribute, shares to one or more of
their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in
turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no
assurance that the selling shareholders will sell all or any of
their common stock.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common
stock. All commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers
in connection with any sale of the common stock will be borne by
the selling shareholders or other party selling such common stock.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders, or their
transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments
the selling shareholders, or their transferees or assignees, may be
required to make.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and
sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the
selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution
of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an
underwriter under the Securities Act, they must comply with
applicable law and may, among other things:
(a) not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with
our securities;
(b) furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be
offered such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to
time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
(c) not bid for or purchase any of our securities attempt to induce
any person to purchase any of our securities other than as
permitted under the Securities Exchange Act.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
We have 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par
value of $0.001 per share of which 21,292,443 are currently issued
and outstanding as of October 3, 2000, including 2,460,000 of the
shares offered by the selling shareholders through this prospectus.
In addition, there are approximately 246,000 shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of warrants, issued to the selling
shareholders.
Thus, there are a total of 2,706,000 shares of common stock that
could be sold by the selling shareholders under this offering.
Holders of common stock have the right to cast one vote for each
share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of holders
of common stock, including the election of directors. There is no
right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the capital
stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in
person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any
meeting of our stockholders. The vote by the
14
holders of a majority of such outstanding shares is required to effect
certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or
amendment of our articles of incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends on a pro
rata basis, when, as and if declared by the board of directors,
from funds legally available, subject to the rights of holders of
any outstanding preferred stock. In the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the our affairs, all of our assets and
funds remaining after the payment of all debts and other
liabilities, subject to the rights of the holders of any
outstanding preferred stock, shall be distributed, pro rata, among
the holders of the common stock. Holders of common stock are not
entitled to pre-emptive or subscription or conversion rights, and
there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to
the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and
the shares of common stock offered hereby will be when issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or
certified any part of it or having given an opinion upon the
validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal
matters in connection with the registration or offering of the
common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are in the business of designing and developing microwave
technologies for dermatological applications through our wholly
owned subsidiary, Microwave Medical Corporation, a California
corporation. Unless specified otherwise, throughout this
discussion, we will refer to this subsidiary and ourselves,
interchangeably.
Principal Services and Products
We are engaged in the development of technology relating to the use
of microwave energy for medical applications. In January of 2000,
the US Patent and Trademark Office issued us a patent entitled,
"Method and Apparatus for Treating Subcutaneous Histological
Features," which focuses on the application of microwave energy in
the treatment of spider veins and for use in hair removal. The use
of microwave for hair removal is based upon the selective heating
of hair follicles while cooling the surface of the skin for its
protection. The hair follicle is the tissue around the hair that
promotes the growth of the hair. We have used computer modeling
and laboratory studies to optimize our system for hair removal.
Our studies have shown effectiveness in destroying hair follicles
while maintaining the integrity of the skin surface.
Phase III clinical trials for hair removal were completed in April
1999 to prove safety and efficacy in the use of the product. We
submitted the results to the FDA on April 22, 1999. On October 25,
15
1999, the FDA granted us approval to begin marketing our microwave
hair removal device for non-facial hair removal.
Our plan is to complete the development of a microwave therapy
system that incorporates the technology described in our patent
application for the treatment of facial hair and Telangiectasia,
or, spider veins as a follow up to this hair removal treatment.
Spider veins are thread-like red to purplish veins that stem from a
network of small veins just below the surface of the skin. Spider
veins develop more predominantly on the legs and faces of women.
The female hormone estrogen usually causes these problems. At this
time, injection and lasers are the predominant treatments for this
condition.
We launched our microwave system for hair removal at the end of the
fourth quarter of 1999, but incurred difficulties in the sale and
operation of the machines. We have re-launched the MW 2000 hair
removal system during the third quarter 2000.
Our systems use microwave energy delivered to various target
structures within the body to induce highly controlled
hyperthermia. This condition enables our machine to induce a
change in a person's tissue to produce the desired cosmetic or
therapeutic affect.
The nature of the technology requires us to research, design and
develop unique components. These proprietary components are then
incorporated into systems using other mechanisms from a variety of
suppliers. Although we make an effort to reduce dependence on
single source suppliers, there are some components that are jointly
developed with others who we are contractually or practically
obligated to work with on an exclusive basis.
We build our devices based on forecasts of future sales and then
inventory the products. Our build, configuration and test process
requires certain system adjustments and final testing for each
order received. Our objective is to ship sales orders within 14
days of final order approval. However, we rely on a variety of
suppliers for key components and services, and therefore delivery
capability is dependent on these outside suppliers' capacity and
lead times.
Our expertise is in the precise delivery of microwave energy to
targeted tissue in whichever application the system is operating.
Our product development efforts require basic research, design
engineering, clinical investigation and manufacturing engineering.
The final product must not only work as designed technically, it
must be clinically effective and commercially viable. Although,
some of these efforts are within our control and expertise, we
operate in a highly regulated industry. As a result, government
regulatory bodies will often determine our products' availability
to the market.
1. Multi-Platform Device
One of our strengths is the multi-platform nature of our machines,
which are comprised of a versatile amplifier and an interchangeable
delivery device. Using this platform, we believe we can produce a
family of devices to meet customer expectations for economy,
performance and efficiency as well as patient needs for safety and
efficacy.
Our core microwave system is capable of producing energy at
frequencies and pulse durations that should provide benefits in a
variety of aesthetic and therapeutic procedures. Although specific
system configurations have not yet been determined, by modifying
accessories, rather than the
16
microwave system, for each indication, we may be able to provide cost-
effective solutions for users while building economies of scale in our
manufacturing process.
2. Recent Approvals
On October 25, 1999, our microwave system for non-facial hair
removal received written approval from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration to begin
marketing. The device was classified into Class II - Special
Controls. We may, therefore, market this device subject to the
general control provisions of the Act, including requirements for
annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing
practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and
adulteration, and the additional controls mandated by the Class II
classification.
In January 2000, the US Patent Office issued a new patent for our
microwave delivery system, entitled, Method and Apparatus for
Treating Subcutaneous Histological Features.
3. Facial Hair
In July 2000, we received Investigational Review Board approval
from Independent Review Consulting, Inc. to conduct Phase III
clinical trials for the treatment of facial hair using our
microwave delivery system. When this phase of the clinical trial
is successfully completed, we expect to proceed with an FDA
submission for this application.
4. Telangiectasia (Spider Veins) Treatments
In May 1999, we received Investigational Review Board approval from
Independent Review Consulting, Inc. to conduct Phase III clinical
trials for the treatment of spider veins in the legs using our
microwave delivery system. When this phase of the clinical trial
is successfully completed, we expect to proceed with an FDA
submission for this application.
5. Orbital Facial Wrinkles
We believe that our microwave technology may provide a treatment
for facial elastosis, or facial wrinkles. This condition exists
widely in certain age groups with the financial means and
motivation to correct the condition.
In September 1999, we received IRB approval for a pilot study to
treat orbital facial wrinkles as an alternative to laser therapy
and chemical peels. These are high-demand elective procedures
that, as currently performed, require dedicated equipment and long
patient recovery periods. We believe our technology may provide a
clinical improvement in the appearance of facial wrinkles. However,
we can provide investors with no assurance that such results will
materialize upon testing.
6. Striae (Stretch Marks) Treatments
We believe that our microwave technology may provide a treatment
for striae or stretch marks. This condition exists in certain
groups who currently have limited treatment options. Both
providers and patients are motivated to find a reliable effective
treatment.
In December 1999, we received IRB approval for a pilot study on the
treatment of striae or stretch marks due to scarring. Currently,
although significant demand exists, there is no widely accepted
17
treatment for this condition. Theoretically, our technology might
provide at least a cosmetic improvement in the appearance of
striae. However, we can provide investors with no assurance that
such results will materialize upon testing.
7. Additional Clinical Uses
While we continue to pursue our target markets of non-invasive
aesthetic clinical procedures, the versatility of our microwave
technology makes other therapeutic opportunities appear viable.
We are evaluating several of these therapeutic uses, including
oncology, urology, gynecology and cardiology.
Aesthetic Medical Treatment Industry
In the United States, according to a Smith Barney report, 1 million
women are customers of electrologists, spending an average of
$1,000 per year on an average 27 procedures. An additional 80
million women spend an additional $500 million on depilatory
products such as shaving, waxing, and other accessories.
The current U.S. market is therefore around $1.5 billion for such
services. The market size in Japan has also been estimated at over
$1 billion, and other world markets taken together may account for
a similar figure. Huge potential exists in the Japanese markets for
microwave hair removal where their cultural aversion to body and
facial hair is stronger than in any other ethnic group. To date
there has been no non-invasive hair removal technology that
satisfies this population. The reason for this stems from the Asian
skin type that is extremely prone to hyper-pigmentation, or
darkening of the skin, when treated by a laser whose only mechanism
for hair removal is melanin absorption. Microwave hair removal has
no effect on melanin making the risk of pigmentary changes
virtually non-existent.
There are two ways of looking at the U.S. market for potential hair
removal: (a) treatment at a salon, currently through waxing and
electrolysis; or (b) treatment by a physician, where the treatment
is performed either by a dermatologist or a cosmetologist working
under a physician's direction.
To date, hair removal lasers have been sold primarily to physicians
and have not been accepted by electrologists. We believe there are
several reasons for this. First, electrologists are already trained
in electrology and they see laser hair removal clearance rates as
being too low. Second, they are uncomfortable and ill equipped to
deal with the undesirable side effects associated with laser hair
removal. As a result, we believe there is an untapped market of
24,000 to 26,000 beauty care salons or spas (19,000 - 20,000 self
standing), and 11,000 to 15,000 electrologists operating either on
their own or as part of a beauty/skin care salon.
Leg Vein Market
Up to 80 million adults in the U.S. alone are affected by unwanted
leg veins. It has been estimated that 29%-41% of women and 6%-15%
of men worldwide have abnormal leg veins. Most vessels presented
for treatment are less than 1 mm in diameter, although varicose
veins range from under .3 mm to over 3 mm in diameter. Currently,
the treatment of leg veins using conventional sclerotherapy is
estimated to be a $1 billion annual worldwide market. Sclerotherapy
is a largely successful approach, but one that is often unpopular
because of the invasiveness of the process. As
18
a result, noninvasive techniques such as microwave treatments are
considered highly desirable by both patient and physician. Thus, if
ultimately successful, the microwave technique may expand the
original sclerotherapy market. Those practitioners who have had
unacceptable cosmetic results with current laser and pulsed-light
devices would be good candidates to buy our microwave delivery
system as a replacement technology for this market. It is estimated
that there are 1,500 lasers installed worldwide for the purpose of
treating leg veins.
As is the case with hair removal, the Asian markets offer a
particularly strong potential market for our microwave delivery
system.
Although leg vein lasers use wavelengths that target blood they
still have strong absorption in melanin creating an high risk of
hyper-pigmentation. Microwave technology presents no such risk
giving our microwave delivery system an advantage in this and other
international markets with predominantly dark-skinned populations.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are common in many healthy women and men and often
occur during puberty or pregnancy. They can be seen following a
rapid weight gain or loss, in weight lifters as well as in
Cushing's disease or debilitating infections. It is estimated that
unwanted stretch marks plague 80 - 100 million people in the U.S.
alone and double again that number internationally. The equipment
market for stretch marks is estimated at $250 to $350 million. The
results from laser technology have been disappointing. As a
result, the treatment is rarely performed and the market awaits a
new technology that offers acceptable cosmetic results without the
undesirable side effects attendant with pulsed dye laser
technology. The potential market for microwave technology at an
average selling price of $93,000 is estimated to be between 2,000
to 3,000 units.
Resurfacing
The resurfacing market is more mature and lucrative than the other
markets described above with 6,500 lasers installed worldwide. The
current focus is on finding a non-invasive way to remove wrinkles
that does not involve sanding, vaporizing or otherwise removing
tissue. The goal is to offer a facelift-type cosmetic result,
strengthening instead of thinning the skin without creating an open
wound. This would amount to the creation of a whole new treatment
method, significantly enhancing market penetration among the
156,500 potential physicians/users.
Competition and Marketing
The worldwide annual market for dermatology/cosmetic equipment
sales presents a tremendous opportunity for business development.
This is the result of the medical community's need for elective or
private pay income to offset declining managed care mandated fee
cutbacks. This has propelled the development of the burgeoning
aesthetic surgery market.
We will primarily market our microwave technology in the cosmetic
dermatology market. In recent years, there has been a substantial
upsurge in the demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the
treatment of spider veins and removal of hair. Market interest has
been largely fostered by the introduction of laser technology for
use in cosmetic dermatology.
19
We plan to compete with laser devices in North America and the
European Community. Our competitive advantage is expected to be our
price, safety, hair and skin color range and effectiveness. The
end user price is expected to range from $95,000 to $100,000,
which is 25 to 35 percent below the current cost of the equivalent
laser systems. In addition, laser technology cannot be applied
well in individuals with dark skin and does not effectively cause
hair removal in individuals with light colored hair. These
limitations are the result of absorption of laser energy by
specific pigments in the skin and hair. In addition, the efficacy
of laser systems for spider veins is below optimal, in most cases
requiring 3 to 5 treatments to achieve an acceptable result. Based
upon our studies to date, these limitations are not expected to
appear in our microwave system.
Our principal competitors are Candela Corporation and ESC Medical
Systems Ltd. Both Companies sell, among other things, laser systems
used for hair removal and the treatment of spider veins.
Marketing Program
As a medical device company with a new technology, delivery
mechanism and clinical technique, we are pursuing an educational
marketing program followed by promotional efforts in the
appropriate markets. We plan to use electronic media and web-based
applications for this purpose. Additionally, we plan to exhibit
and offer promotions at influential industry congresses and events.
Our focus is on two marketing strategies for our hair removal
product: (1) selling or leasing the product to physicians and other
health-care practitioners, and (2) fee sharing in which we arrange
for the financing of the product and then take some percentage of
the revenue generated through the use of the product.
The primary customers for our hair removal product are physicians
and other healthcare practitioners specializing in cosmetic surgery
and dermatology. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that there are
approximately 25,000 cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. In
addition, other physician specialists such as family practitioners,
gynecologists, and surgeons have incorporated cosmetic dermatology
into their practices.
To date, we have concentrated our marketing and sales efforts in
the United States.
In the third and fourth quarter of 1999, we introduced the MW2000
to the hair removal marketplace. We attempted to accomplish this
primarily through national and local trade shows and the individual
efforts of sales personnel. It was our hope that these actions
would set the ground work for generating future sales and revenues.
During 1999, we expanded our outside sales force by contracting
with several independent sales representatives and four major
distributors. Our outside independent sales force grew to 50
persons in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Our inside sales department, located in Phoenix, AZ is composed of
one person who is our national sales manager. The national sales
manager is responsible for developing new accounts, as well as
working locally with independent sales representatives and
distributors.
20
Independent salespeople are generally compensated through a
straight commission based on completed sales. Distributors
purchase machines at discounted prices based on volume and then re-
sell to physicians.
We hope to attain prominence as a market leader through a carefully
constructed marketing program, encompassing the following
components:
1. Public Relations
We plan to launch an aggressive, well-timed, PR campaign in the
popular print and broadcast media. We hope to place editorials in
health and beauty journals and televised national and local news
broadcasts announcing our non-invasive cosmetic technology. We
also plan to obtain the testimony of physicians attesting to the
fact that microwave technology is much safer, more effective, and
better tolerated than existing technologies.
This strategy will require the retention of a well-connected PR
firm during the product introduction period and must be timed to
coincide with targeted journal advertising, direct mail and trade
shows. The videotapes and reprints derived from this campaign can
then be used to sell the device to physicians and as patient
information to sell the microwave treatment.
2. Journal Advertising
We plan to place advertisements in seven journals that specialize
in the medical areas of plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, and
dermatology. For maximum impact, the ads will be timed to coincide
with specific events and special issues relating to our business
activities.
3. Direct Mail
We also plan to use direct mail as a method of generating leads.
Most of the cosmetic surgery societies make their mailing lists
available to manufacturers for a fee. Through regional and
specialty focused direct mail efforts, we hope to generate a
consistent stream of new interest in our microwave system.
4. Trade Show Attendance
One of the most cost-effective methods of reaching a large,
focused, audience is through trade show participation. Throughout
the year, we plan to attend approximately eight trade shows,
reaching several thousand physicians in this manner.
5. Specialty Microwave Workshops and Seminars
We plan to attend and/or sponsor approximately 20 hands-on
educational courses directed at small participant groups each year
to expose physicians from different specialties to our microwave
system. Our training seminars will feature experts who will present
on the use of microwaves in medical treatment, the clinical
applications of the MW Microwave Delivery System, and financial
analysis and programs involving our machines. In addition, a
device will be on the premises for the attendees to see and view a
hands-on treatment with a live patient.
21
6. Clinical Presentations
Sales representatives will be provided with a book containing all
clinical data related to our machines, including abstracts, white
papers, re-prints from medical journals, and before and after
images. The book will also contain other related materials such as,
reprints from the popular press, a comparison matrix and a
physician reference list.
7. Observation of a Patient Treatment
Physician prospects will have the ability to observe a patient
procedure at the office of one of our preceptor physicians. In this
way they can get the story from one of their peers as opposed to a
sales representative. They will also have the chance to query the
patient on how well they tolerated the treatment. Observing a
patient procedure also obviates the need to make a demo unit
available to the sales representatives.
8. Creating Physician Advertising Materials
Consumer marketing is becoming an increasingly crucial part of
cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery patients are consumers who have
treatment choices and physicians have begun to recognize the need
to compete for their dollars. The number of companies being
utilized by physicians to help market their practices amply
illustrates this fact. By providing this value added service, we
can provide physicians with one more reason to purchase.
Employees
We have nine employees including our president, chief operating
officer, chief financial officer, director of sales,
secretary/comptroller, electrical/microwave engineers and microwave
technicians. Expansion will coincide with sales of our product.
Independent companies currently conduct manufacturing and assembly
of our machines. None of our employees or the employees of our
subsidiaries is subject to collective bargaining agreements, nor
have they been on strike, or threatened to strike, within the past
three years. We have no supplemental benefit or incentive
arrangements with our employees other than health insurance
coverage and our incentive stock option plan.
Patents and Trademarks
We have recently obtained a patent entitled, "Method and Apparatus
for Treating Subcutaneous Histological Features" which focuses on
the application of microwave energy in the treatment of spider
veins and for hair removal. We also have several other filed
patents pending.

Research and Development Expenditures
During the 1998 and 1999 fiscal years, we spent the following
amounts on research and development activities:
Six Months ended Year Ended Year Ended

Corporate Organization and History
We are a Nevada corporation that was incorporated as a subsidiary
of Dynamic Associates, Inc. on December 4, 1997. On February 26,
1998, we entered into an agreement with Dynamic in which we issued
14,223,929 of our common stock to Dynamic in consideration for:
(a) all of the issued and outstanding shares of P&H Laboratories,
Inc., a California corporation ;
(b) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Microwave
Communication Corporation and shareholders loans to MMC in the
amount of $2,169,806; and
(c) the agreement of Dynamic to pay to us a total of $200,000. The
obligation of Dynamic to pay the sum of $200,000 is evidenced by a
promissory note dated February 26, 1998. Dynamic made a payment of
$50,000 toward this obligation in March of 1999, making the current
principal amount of the debt $150,000. This amount is currently
past due.
On March 11, 1998, Dynamic distributed all of our shares to its
shareholders. Each shareholder of Dynamic received one of our
common shares for each of their common shares in Dynamic. The
shares distributed by Dynamic constituted all of our issued and
outstanding shares at the time.
We sold the business of P&H under an asset purchase and sale
agreement dated March 9, 1998. Under this Agreement, we took back
a promissory note from the purchaser, MCC/ Ferro Systems, Inc., as
partial consideration. This promissory note is currently in
default.
Subsidiaries
We have two subsidiaries, Microwave Medical Corporation and P&H
Laboratories, Inc. MMC is our only active subsidiary.
All of the information listed throughout this prospectus includes
both this subsidiary and us. The subsidiaries' financial
information is included in the consolidated financial statements
attached to this document. We did not come into existence until
December 1997, while the subsidiaries were in existence for all of
1997. P&H and MMC have maintained separate operations and
financial reporting, both prior and subsequent to our spin-off from
Dynamic.

Description of Property
Our principal business offices are in leased premises at 6617 N.
Scottsdale Road, Suite 103, Scottsdale, AZ 85250. Our lease
commitment expires on December 31, 2002. We own no real property.
MMC's offices are located at 601 Del Norte Boulevard Suite S,
Oxnard, California 93030. This lease expires on July 2002.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Over the past several months, we have been faced with a number of
problems in bringing our new product to market. In addition to the
more traditional difficulties of generating sales, our vice
president of marketing and national sales manager resigned in
January 2000. Following this, we have been actively involved in
hiring and training new sales executives and personnel, but the
process has been slow and costly.
We delivered 36 machines to doctors prior to December 31, 1999,
however, because these deliveries did not meet all of the criteria
required for the recognition of revenue by December 31, 1999, no
revenue was recognized on our books in 1999. This along with other
complications from operations caused us to be unable to include our
audited financial statements with our original 10K filing. An
amended 10K filing with these audited financials was made on May
16, 2000.
Management believes that the adverse results we experienced during
our initial sales activities were primarily attributable to the
following:
1. problems with the operation of our new microwave system;
2. the learning curve associated with the specialized selling and
training requirements of our new microwave technology;
3. the limited amount of internal resources and personnel
available to us at the time.
Management believes that these difficulties will be overcome
through the addition of new key personnel, including a new C.E.O.,
C.F.O., marketing director, product and quality assurance manager,
clinical nurses, and an inventory/shipping manager. As of the date
of this filing we have added a new C.F.O., national sales manager
and clinical nurse. We intend to add the other new key personnel
over the next few months after financing is obtained.
We have expanded our clinical sites. Management believes this
expansion will provide us with a number of peer review publications
and clinical white papers from medical luminaries in the field of
dermatology, pheblology, plastic surgery and other specialties.
This action may also provide individuals who can be called upon to
lecture on the merits of our microwave technology.
As the product was re-launched late in the third quarter and no
significant cash flows from sales have been generated, management
anticipates we may require additional funds to continue operations
in the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. We
therefore intend to offer a new private placement to fund
operations until sufficient cash flows are derived from sales
24
revenues. To help expand our ability to generate revenue, we will
also be looking for a strategic partner or strong national sales
distribution organization to expand our sales opportunities.
While we have been able to raise funds through equity and debt
offerings in the past, we can offer no guarantee to investors that
we will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future or that
sufficient cash flows from revenues will ever be achieved. Failure
to obtain additional financing or generate sufficient revenues
would have a material adverse effect on our viability.
Default on Note Payment by Purchaser of P&H
We sold the business of P&H Laboratories to Microwave Communication
Corporation on March 9, 1998 and received a promissory note payable
to P&H. P&H later assigned its rights under this note to us.
The payment due on March 31, 1999 was not received when due. We
re-negotiated a new payment schedule, but MCC defaulted on this
obligation as well. We are currently considering the enforcement
of our claim through litigation.
Prior Period Adjustments
In 1998, our former parent, Dynamic Associates, Inc., as part of
the spin-off, agreed to cancel our subsidiary's debt to it of
$2,169,806. We recognized this discharge of indebtedness as
earnings for the year ended December 31, 1998. After careful
review, we changed this entry on our books to a capital
transaction, and thus decreased net income by $2,169,806 and
increased additional paid in capital by a like amount.
Additionally, as part of our spin off with Dynamic, it agreed to
pay us $200,000 to help in our start-up. We originally recorded
this item as a receivable and revenue. In 1999, Dynamic paid us
$50,000 towards this debt. After careful review, we reclassified
this item to a capital transaction, thereby decreasing net income
by $200,000 and reclassifying the receivable into stockholders'
equity.
Assets
Our total assets decreased to $3,697,183 as of June 30, 2000 from
$4,117,108 on December 31, 1999, a decrease of $419,925 or 10.2%.
The net change resulted primarily from decrease in cash and
deposits partially offset by an increase in inventory. The
decrease in cash resulted primarily from cash used in normal
operations. The decrease in the deposits was caused by our
renegotiating a contract with a major supplier and offsetting a
corresponding liability. The increase in inventory of approximately
$1,119,044, or 67.1% is the result of our continuing production of
MW 2000 systems in connection with the re-launch of the product in
the third quarter.
Liabilities And Stockholders' Equity
Our operations for the six months ending June 30, 2000 were funded
by an increase in capital and short-term borrowings. Stockholders'
equity increased $449,936, or 19.4%, to $2,774,500 as of June 30,
2000. The net increase in stockholders' equity resulted primarily
from our sale of common
25
stock, approximately $2,400,000, and the exercise of stock options,
less the net loss from operations.
We borrowed funds from an officer in the amount of $150,000 in
exchange for a promissory note. We then converted $100,000 of the
note into equity as part of a private placement. The remaining
$50,000 note matures in October 2000 and has an interest rate of
10%. We also increased our borrowings on our line of credit by
$40,000.
Results of Operations
In the prior year, we began our initial production of the MW 2000
machines and delivered 36 of the machines to clinical sites across
the country. Of these machines, we have taken back 4 machines, 10
are with our national distributor pending order placement, 10 are
involved in clinical trials and 12 have been returned to inventory
to receive upgrades or other product modification.
Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $2,008,064
compared to a loss of $775,975 during the same period in 1999.
This increase in the net loss was caused by ramping up production
and establishing the necessary internal infrastructure to
accommodate the projected sales expected in connection with the re-
launch of the MW 2000 machine.
Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were $1,388,954 compared to $477,320 for the same
period in 1999. This reflects an increase of $911,634, or 191%.
This increase in general and administrative costs as compared to
the same period in the prior year was primarily due to advertising
and promotion cost involved in bringing the product to market, an
increase in professional fees and an increase in the costs
associated with clinical trials.
Our research and development expenses were $607,748 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $262,151 for the same period
in 1999. The increase of $345,597, or 131.8%, reflects our
continued research into additional applications for its microwave
technology.
Despite initial efforts, our sales have not met management's
expectations. We recorded our first revenue during the third
quarter of 2000 and anticipate increasing revenues in the fourth
quarter. We have resolved a number of issues and problems
regarding the use and operation of the MW 2000 machine by
physicians and their staff. Management has developed an internal
evaluation process that has resulted in planned modifications and
upgrades to the MW 2000 machine, including such things as warning
labels, instruction manuals, on-site training, and clinical
support.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2000, we had $66,253 in cash. During the first six
months of 2000, we completed a private placement of 1,000,000
shares of our common stock. Net cash proceeds from this placement
were $2,400,000. We completed an additional private placement of
1,860,000 shares of common stock in September 2000. Net proceeds
to date from this private placement, net of issuance costs, are
$930,000.
We used cash of $2,715,324 in our operating activities during the
six months ending June 30, 2000 compared to $172,281 for the same
period in 1999. In the six months of 2000, we were primarily
involved in product upgrades, re-structuring management and in
enhancing internal procedures. We have substantially completed
upgrades to the MW 2000 and have re-launched the product.
26
Management intends to obtain financing, as necessary, through
additional equity offerings until such time as cash flows from
operations are sufficient to support operations. Management
believes that it will be able to raise the money that is necessary,
but currently does not have this financing in place.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe,
plan, expect, future, intend, hope and similar expressions to
identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too
much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks
faced by us described in the risk factors section and elsewhere in
this prospectus. The forward-looking statements made in this
prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the
statements are made.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 problem arose because many existing computer programs
use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these
computer programs do not properly recognize a year that begins with
20 instead of the familiar 19. We have not experienced any
difficulties as a result of this potential problem and do not
expect any problems in the future.

In March 1999, we granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares of
our common stock to Paul E. Banko, our former president and CEO,
and 400,000 shares to Jan Wallace. In November 1999, we granted an
option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock to Tyler
Brown. In July 2000, we granted an option to purchase 100,000
shares of stock to Neil Marcus, 100,000 shares to Nigel Parker, and
50,000 shares to Dean Drummond. The options allow the holders to
purchase our common shares at a price of $1.00 - $1.50 per share.
Fifty percent of these options were exercisable immediately and
fifty percent required a one-year vesting period. A number of
other employees were granted options on similar terms.
Subsequently, Paul Banko resigned as president and CEO and an
agreement was reached in which he retained only 200,000 of his

Our policy regarding related transactions requires that any
director or officer who has an interest in any transaction to be

of the disinterested directors, provided that an interested
director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at
the meeting to approve the transaction. Our policy regarding
compensation for directors and officers is that the board of
directors may, without regard to personal interest, establish the
compensation of directors for services in any capacity.

Board of Directors
MW Medical, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MW
Medical, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) as of December 31, 1999 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of MW Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has cash flow constraints, an accumulated
deficit, and suffered recurring losses from operations. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note B.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
- -----------------------
MW Medical, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on December 4, 1997. The Company
is currently engaged in the development of technology relating
to the use of microwave energy for medical applications.
Through its subsidiary, Microwave Medical Corporation ("MMC"),
the Company produces and distributes medical devices utilizing
the Company's proprietary microwave technology.
Prior to April 1, 1998, the Company was also engaged in the
manufacturing of highly technologically advanced components and
subsystems for the communications and aerospace industries
through its subsidiary, P & H Laboratories ("P&H"). During
1998, the Company decided to discontinue doing business in this
industry, and consequently sold the net assets of P&H.
Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company; its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MMC and MMC's
German based subsidiary, Microwave Medical ("GmbH"), which was
formed in late 1997, and P&H through the date of the sale. All
significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Concentration of Risk
- ---------------------
The Company outsources the majority of its manufacturing to one
supplier. The reliance on a limited number of vendors is
subject to several risks, including economic disruptions and
price fluctuations, any one of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and results of
operations.
The Company maintains several accounts with established
financial institutions. The balances in these institutions
exceed insured amounts by approximately $683,000 at December
31, 1999. The Company believes there is little risk of loss
based on its use of high quality institutions.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Revenue related to sales to end customers and to distributors are
recognized upon shipment, when the price to the purchaser is
fixed, there are not significant obligations for future
performance and the purchaser's obligation is not contingent on
resale of related merchandise.

MW Medical, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Deposits
- --------
Deposits represent payments made to a supplier, which performs
the majority of the Company's manufacturing. The supplier
requires that the Company maintain an ongoing deposit with the
supplier as collateral for goods in process.
Inventory
- ---------
Inventory, consisting principally of raw materials and
finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (principally
using First-in, First-out) or market.
Research and Development Costs
- ------------------------------
Research and development costs are generally charged to
operations as incurred. Research and development costs that
have an alternative future use are capitalized. The total
amount of research and development costs captialized in 1999
was $107,528. No research and development costs were
capitalized in 1998.
Stock-Based Compensation
- ------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with
APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
25"), which requires that compensation cost be recorded based on
the intrinsic value of the award at the grant date and recognized
over the service period. The Company, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS 123), provides pro-forma
disclosures of net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
as if the fair value based method of accounting for awards had
been applied. Under the fair value based method, compensation
cost is recorded based on the value of the award at the grant
date and is recognized over the service period.
Estimates
- ---------
The Company's management has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
expenses during the year to prepare these financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are
computed principally using the straight-line and accelerated
methods with useful lives ranging from 17 months to 8 years.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and
liability method. Deferred taxes and liabilities are
recognized for future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which such taxable differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilties of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Net Loss per Share
- ------------------
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods
presented. The Company's diluted loss per share does not
include any common stock equivalents, as their effect is
antidilutive.
Stock options and stock purchase warrants to purchase shares on
common stock that were outstanding during 1999 which were not
included in the computation of diluted loss per share because
the impact would have been antidilutive were 1,745,000 and
600,000, respectively.
Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
11
MW Medical, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE B - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and
may continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable
future due to the significant costs anticipated to be incurred
in connection with manufacturing, marketing and distributing
its microwave products. In addition, the Company intends to
continue to conduct research and development activities,
including regulatory submittals and clinical trials to develop
additional applications for its technology. The Company
operates in a highly competitive environment and is subject to
all of the risks inherent in a new business enterprise.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph,
recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts
shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon
continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent
upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a
continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in
its future operations. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management has taken steps which it believes are sufficient to
provide the Company with the ability to continue its operations
over the near term. In January 2000, the Company raised
$2,400,000 through the sale of common stock in connection with
a private placement memorandum. The Company also began to ship
its initial product at the end of the year and expects to
receive cash flows from such products within the near term. As
of the end of the first quarter of 2000, the Company has not
recognized any sales revenue. The Company expects that the
proceeds from those activities will be sufficient to fund
activities in the near term. The Company is actively pursuing
additional financing. However, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to complete any additional financing.

NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
During 1999, the Company offered and sold 1,000,000 shares of
common stock through a private placement memorandum dated
January 15, 1999, at a price of $.75 per share. Cash proceeds,
net of issuance costs, were $674,974. The Company granted stock
options to acquire 130,000 shares of common stock in exchange
for services related to the sale of such offering. These stock
options were valued at $84,563 and were charged to additional
paid-in-capital.
On July 14, 1999, the Company entered into a convertible
debenture agreement in which it agreed to sell to certain named
investors a total of $3,500,000 of 8% Convertible Debentures
due July 31, 2000. The convertible debentures were convertible
upon issuance into registered shares of common stock at 75% of
the fair market value of the stock when converted, or $2.75 per
share, whichever is lower. The debt matures and the conversion
option expires in July 2000.
Substantially all of the debentures were converted shortly
after issuance. The first closing of $3,000,000 occurred on
July 23, 1999. Concurrently, three of the investors agreed to
purchase the balance of $500,000 of convertible debentures upon
the registration of the common stock as required by a
registration rights agreement. The Company completed the
registration of the common stock in November 1999. As of
December 31, 1999 the remaining $500,000 of the debentures has
expired.
In connection with the agreement, the Company granted stock
purchase warrants to the investors of the debentures to acquire
up to 350,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.75 per
share. As a result, the Company recorded a discount to
debentures of $252,000, which was charged to interest expense
upon conversion of the convertible debt. At December 31, 1999,
all warrants are exercisable and no warrants have been
exercised. The warrants expire in July 2002.
The Company allocated a portion of the convertible debentures
to the embedded beneficial conversion feature contained in the
convertible debentures and charged it to paid-in capital. The
portion allocated to the beneficial conversion feature totaled
$1,000,000, which was

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
- ---------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted auditing
principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes should, therefore,
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been
included. The results of operations for the three and six-
month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.
NOTE B - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and
may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future due to
the significant costs anticipated to be incurred in connection
with manufacturing, marketing and distributing its microwave
products. In addition, the Company intends to continue to
conduct research and development activities, including
regulatory submittals and clinical trials to develop additional
applications for its technology. The Company operates in a
highly competitive environment and is subject to all of the
risks inherent in a new business enterprise.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph,
recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts
shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon
continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent
upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements
on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to
succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management has taken the following steps, which it believes are
sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue
its operations over the near term: The Company raised $2.4
million and $210,000 through the sale of common stock in
connection with private placement memorandums in January and
July 2000, respectively. The Company expects to ship its first
sales units by the targeted August re-launch and expects to
receive cash flows from such products subsequent to those
shipments. The Company expects that the proceeds from those
activities will be sufficient to fund activities in the near
term, while it actively pursues additional financing. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
complete any additional financing.
NOTE C - RELATED PARTY
In June 2000, the Company borrowed $100,000 from Jan Wallace,
the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company, and signed a loan agreement to make available an
additional $100,000 to the Company. The note for $100,000
accrued interest at a rate of 10% and was to mature in
September 2000. This note, however, was converted to equity on
July 17, 2000 when it was used by agreement with Ms. Wallace to
purchase 200,000 shares of common stock as part of the current
private placement being sold by the Company. In addition, Ms.
Wallace purchased another $100,000 worth of stock, or 200,000
shares, in this offering. Thus, Ms. Wallace has purchased a
total of 400,000 shares of common stock in the Company's
current private placement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
As a result of this purchase, Ms. Wallace will also receive
warrants to purchase up to 40,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share
Subsequent to this, Ms. Wallace loaned the Company an
additional $50,000 at an interest rate of 10%. This note is
due and payable in October 2000.
NOTE D - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In July 2000, the Company sold 420,000 shares of common stock
in a private placement memorandum dated July 15, 2000.
Proceeds, net of issuance costs, were $210,000. Proceeds from
the private placement include $200,000 received from Ms. Jan
Wallace, the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company. In connection with the 420,000 shares sold as
part of the private placement, the Company will issue warrants
to purchase up to 42,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $1.75 per share.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided under the
Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Unless specifically limited by a corporation's articles of
incorporation, the Nevada Revised Statutes automatically provides
directors with immunity from monetary liabilities. Our articles of
incorporation do not contain any such limiting language. Excepted
from that immunity are:
(1) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its
shareholders in connection with a matter in which the
director has a material conflict of interest;
(2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful);
(3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal profit; and
(4) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by
or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this
corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by a director in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of this corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe this conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably
36
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
We also indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit, by or in our right to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was our
director, officer, employee, or agent, or is or was serving at our
request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit, if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of this corporation, and except that
no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or
her duty to us, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
court shall deem proper;
To the extent that one of our directors, officers, employees, or
agents has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit, or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of
any claim, issue, or matter, he or she will be indemnified against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection therewith;
We may make an indemnification only upon a determination that the
indemnification is proper under the circumstances because the
director, officer, employee, or agent has met the applicable
standard of conduct described in the paragraphs above. Such
determination shall be made: (1) by the board of directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who where not
parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or (2) if such a
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders;
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit,
or proceeding may be paid by us in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the board of
directors under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be
indemnified by us as authorized in the bylaws.
The indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as
to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following is a list of equity securities sold by us within the
past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act.
We issued to Dynamic 14,223,929 of our common shares in
consideration for the transfer by Dynamic to us of all shares and
shareholders loans of each of MMC and P&H, and the agreement of
37
Dynamic to pay us a total of $200,000, $50,000 of which has been
paid. The shares we issued to Dynamic were subsequently
distributed to the shareholders of Dynamic on the basis of one of
our common shares of stock for each common share of Dynamic owned.
This issue of common shares by us to Dynamic was completed in
compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
We also issued 2,500,000 common shares in a private placement to
accredited investors at a price of $0.75 per share in compliance
with Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act as follows:
(1) 1,500,000 shares in October,1998;
(2) 300,000 shares in March, 1999;
(3) 700,000 shares in June, 1999.
On July 14, 1999, we entered into a convertible debenture and
warrant purchase agreement in which we agreed to sell a total of
$3,500,000 worth of convertible debentures in compliance with the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of
the Securities Act. In addition to the convertible debentures,
each investor under the debenture Purchase Agreement was entitled
to warrants in a proportional amount to their purchase of
debentures. The exercise price of the warrants is at a price of
$2.75 per share. Of the $3,500,000 in convertible debentures, only
$3,000,000 were sold, all of which were converted into our common
stock by year end 1999.
The shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the debentures, as
well as the shares underlying the issued warrants, were registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective November 3,
1999.
On July 20, 1999, we issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of
our common stock to JW Genesis Securities, Inc. as part of its fee
for arranging the convertible debenture financing. These warrants
were also issued in compliance with an exemption from registration
provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. These
warrants are exercisable at a price of $3.312 per share at any time
before 5:00 pm New York City time on July 20, 2004.
In December 1999, we offered 1,000,000 shares of our common stock
in a private placement exempt from registration under Rule 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act at a price of $3.00 per share
along with warrants to purchase 100,000 shares at an exercise price
of $3.50 per share. This placement was closed on January 15, 2000
with all the shares sold to accredited investors.
In July 2000, we offered 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in a
private placement exempt from registration under Rule 506 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act at a price of $0.50 per share
along with warrants to purchase 200,000 shares at an exercise price
of $1.75 per share. This placement was closed on September 15,
2000 with 1,860,000 shares sold to accredited investors.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKING.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent
post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnifications for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities, other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act,
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
