UNITED STATESSECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C., 20549 GENERAL FORM FOR REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES OF SMALL BUSINESS ISSUERS Under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Amendment 9 DIABETEX INTERNATIONAL CORP. (Name of Small Business Issuer in its charter) NEVADA 87- 0652348 (State or other jurisdiction of (IRS Employer Identification incorporation or organization) No.) 142 Ferry Road Suites 1 & 2, Old Saybrook, CT 06475 (Address of Principal Office) (Zip Code) Issuer's telephone number (860) 395-1933 Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act Title of each class Name of each exchange on which registered Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Act Title of each class Name of each exchange on which registered DBTX COMMON STOCK NASD OTC BB Item 1. Description of Business: HISTORY OF THE COMPANY Diabetex International Corporation ("Diabetex" or the "Company") was founded on September 14, 1983. The original name of the Company was Sheridan Industries Inc. The Company changed its name to Associated Healthcare, Inc. during 1991 but later rescinded the name change and reverted back to Sheridan Industries, Inc. The Company has never had any operations up to December 31, 1998 and in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development stage company. The Company is now involved in the treatment and diagnosis of diabetes. In 1998, the Company created, and later merged with, a Nevada subsidiary and changed its name to Diabetex International Corporation to reflect its new strategy. This new strategy was to focus on diabetes-related products and services. On June 30, 1999, Diabetex acquired the rights to a treatment program for metabolic diseases called Metabolic Activation. This treatment program was the property of Advanced Metabolic Systems, a Delaware corporation ("AMSys"). In addition to Metabolic Activation, AMSys provided and continues to provide certain other products and services, which the Company did not wish to acquire and AMSys did not wish to license. In order to provide an avenue for the Company to acquire the rights to Metabolic Activation AMSys spun a new corporation, Advanced Metabolic Technologies, Inc. ("AMTech"). All of the assets held by AMSys associated with metabolic disorders became the assets of AMTech. Diabetex, in turn, acquired 100% of this new company. AMTech is a wholly owned subsidiary of Diabetex International, Corporation. This acquisition combined two complimentary technologies, diabetes metering systems with diabetes treatment technology. In the trade of Diabetex's shares for AMTech, no "tax free" exchange status was sought. AMSys operates in Connecticut. Its principal line of business is to provide consulting services to physicians in the area of metabolic disorder treatments. Diabetex assumed no liabilities of AMSys other than those required by any license now an asset of AMTech, its wholly owned subsidiary. No creditor of AMSys was adversely affected by the acquisition of the assets transferred to AMTech. The consideration for the acquisition of the AMSys diabetes related assets is 1,232,261 shares of Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share (c.f. 10 Financial Statements). Following the acquisition of AMTech from AMSys, AMSys continued to perform billing, collections and other administrative services for Diabetex for a period of one year. AMSys has not performed any services for Diabetex since June 30, 2000. These services are now performed by Diabetex personnel. Diabetex believes it employs sufficient and appropriate personnel to operate this new subsidiary and to promote its clinical treatment business. The Company's personnel is addressed later in this registration statement, and all material employment contracts are made an exhibit hereto by reference. In June 1999, the Company acquired an exclusive license from Hamilton-May Corporation ("Hamilton-May") for an insulin infusion pumping system. Hamilton-May is awaiting patents for this device, which has been named the "Fluid Micrometer". Hamilton-May, a Nevada corporation, has developed prototype devices with the ability to modify the current infusion pump systems with its fluid micrometer. This new technology is intended to deliver metabolic disorder treatment as well as Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion ("CSII") for individuals with diabetes while measuring glucose levels. THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES At present Diabetex is concentrating on three independent yet related product lines: * Non-invasive Glucose Meter and Blood Analyzer * Metabolic Activation Clinics * Infusion Pumps Each of the Company's products in development has unique competitive advantages for measuring and treating diabetes. The Company's primary mission is to develop and commercialize clinically proven products and treatments, which meter, contain, stabilize and reverse the effects of the complications caused by diabetes (July 1999 Journal of Clinical Endocrinology). These include heart disease, stroke, hypertension, kidney disease, blindness and poor quality of life. Diabetex holds its Metabolic Activation clinic business as a wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Metabolic Technologies (AMTech), which is the licensee of the Metabolic Activation patent. The Company owns no manufacturing facilities and holds no patents of its own related to its product lines. It controls these patents through exclusive licensing agreements (the agreements are included by reference in this Registration Statement). The Company has also established various strategic partnerships, which will assure ongoing research, development and manufacturing capabilities during the plan period and beyond. Glucose Meters and Blood Analyzers The Company is developing a non-invasive miniature radio frequency glucose meter and blood analyzer. The Company believes that commercialization can be completed within 18 months. In addition, Diabetex is developing new patents to further enhance these activities. Sales assumptions are predicated on a penetration into 16.7% of the U.S. market. Sales for the meter are estimated to be more than $3.5 billion over five years. Pre-tax margins are expected to approximate 60%. Currently, there are no approved non-invasive glucose meters for the 4.6 million individuals with diabetes. Such meters will eliminate the requirement for individuals with diabetes to puncture their skin multiple times each day. The Company is also developing radio frequency technology to create non-invasive readings of other blood chemistry components such as cholesterol and hemoglobin. Infusion Pumps Diabetex has exclusive licensing rights to develop and market a line of pumps that adjust the infusion of insulin for individuals with diabetes. The final product should be more efficient, less expensive and more durable than the competitors' current market offerings. Today, the $325 Million market for these pumps is growing at a 50% annual rate. (Hoovers On-Line, June, 2000 "The Wall Street Transcript Publishes Money Manager Interview with David Kliff) The Company believes that commercialization of the Company's pumps will be completed within 12 months. METABOLIC ACTIVATION CLINICS Currently, the Company has licensed five active Metabolic Activation Clinics (California, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Massachusetts). This patented process enhances the individuals' with diabetes ability to metabolize glucose. Plans are to open a Company-owned prototype clinic in New York City within six months. The success of the prototype would enable Diabetex to open 12 to 20 clinics in other major metropolitan areas within two years. THE MARKET Definition of the Market: The final or end user market includes all those individuals in the U.S. who are afflicted with the disease called "diabetes." Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high levels of blood glucose resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Diabetes can result in serious complications and premature death. There are two major types of diabetes: * Type I Diabetes, which is also know as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or IDDM, is characterized by low or absent levels of circulating endogenous insulin so that the patient is dependent on injected insulin to sustain life. Onset of IDDM is predominantly in young people. However, it can occur at any age. * Type II Diabetes, which is also known as Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or NIDDM, is characterized by levels of insulin, which may be normal, elevated or depressed. Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance characterize most patients. In the early stages of this disease insulin injections are not part of treatment. However insulin injections may be used as part of the treatment once diet and oral agents fail to control blood glucose levels. It usually occurs in people over 40 years old. But it can occur at any age. There are other types of diabetes, however, they encompass a minute portion of the population. The dollars spent within the market are comprised of those afflicted with diabetes ,and reflects the costs and expenses to provide and receive treatment for complications caused by the disease. Such complications include heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, dental disease, difficulty during pregnancy, and lower limb amputation. The costs related to these complications encompass care in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes, outpatient visits, physicians' fees, equipment, supplies and medicines. THE SIZE OF THE MARKET IN TERMS OF PEOPLE At present there are an estimated 16.2 million in the U.S. who have diabetes, which is 5.9% of the population. It is also estimated that 5.6 million of those individuals are as yet undiagnosed. Further, it is estimated that more than 800 thousand new cases are diagnosed each year. Table A below shows the present size of the market by type of disease and age. [Download Table] Table A Diabetes Market Size by Type and Age (People in Thousands) Type I Type II Total ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- Age Group People Percent People Percent People Percent (18) 124 8% - 0% 124 1% 18-44 683 45% 1,762 12% 2,445 15% 45-64 367 24% 5,580 38% 5,947 37% 65+ 342 23% 7,342 50% 7,684 47% Total 1,516 100% 14,684 100% 16,200 100% Sources: National Center of Health Statistics (NCHS); U. S. Census Bureau. Table A shows that those with Type I diabetes tend to be young while those with Type II tend to be older. This is further seen in Table B, in which the age distribution of individuals with diabetes by type is compared to the general U.S. population. [Download Table] Table B Index of Diabetes Market Size by Type and Age Type I Type II ------------------------- ------------------------ Percent of Percent of Percent of Percent of Age Group Diabetics Population Index Diabetics Population Index (18) 8% 25% 0.33 0% 25% - 18-44 45% 40% 1.13 12% 40% 0.29 45-64 24% 23% 1.05 39% 23% 1.68 65+ 23% 12% 1.88 49% 12% 4.14 Total 100% 100% 1.00 100% 100% 1.00 Sources: National Center of Health Statistics (NCHS); U.S. Census Bureau. Both Tables A and B show that although Type I diabetes affects youths more than Type II, the incidence of diabetes is more prevalent in older people, especially Type II. It is also important to note that while virtually all individuals with Type I diabetes are users of insulin injections, there are individuals with Type II diabetes who also use insulin injections. According to NCHS, about 43% of all diagnosed individuals with diabetes in the U.S. are treated with insulin. This means that of the total 10.6 million diagnosed individuals with diabetes, 4.6 million are treated with insulin. Virtually all 1.5 million individuals with Type I diabetes use insulin treatment. Three million people diagnosed with Type II diabetes also use insulin. This amounts to about 33% of individuals diagnosed with Type II diabetes who use insulin. A summary in Table C follows. [Download Table] Table C Diabetics by Insulin Usage (People in Thousands) Type People Percent of Total Diagnosed Type I (Use Insulin) 1,516 9.3% Diagnosed Type II (Use Insulin) 3,042 18.8 Subtotal 4,558 28.1% Diagnosed Type II (No Insulin Usage) 6,042 37.3 Subtotal 10,600 65.4% Undiagnosed Diabetics (No Usage) 5,600 34.6 Total 16,200 100.0% Sources: NCHS; U.S. Census Bureau. Although the total U.S. population with diabetes is 16.2 million (see Table C above), the Company's target market is the 4.6 million individuals with diabetes who use insulin, and especially the 1.5 million who have Type I diabetes. Size of the Market in Terms of Healthcare Costs: The nation's estimated totalannual healthcare cost related to diabetes in the year 2000 is forecasted to be $115 billion. It is segmented approximately as shown in Table D. [Download Table] Table D Estimated Diabetes Healthcare Costs Years 1997 and 2000 (Dollars in Billions) Cost Type 1997 2000 Inpatient Hospital Care $ 27.5 $ 32.3 Nursing Home Care 5.5 6.5 Outpatient Visits 11.0 12.9 Subtotal Direct Healthcare $ 44.0 $ 51.7 Disability Costs 37.1 43.5 Mortality Costs 16.9 19.8 Total $ 98.0 $115.0 Sources: America Diabetes Association; U.S. Census Bureau This amounts to nearly $11,000 per year (or $30 per day) for every person diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. By comparison, total annual expenditures on diabetes treatment and diabetes related disability and death is equivalent to the entire U.S. soft drink market. This is ten times the amount consumers spend going to the movies, which includes ticket price and concession expenditures. PRODUCT LINES * NON-INVASIVE GLUCOSE METER AND BLOOD ANALYZER Individuals with diabetes who receive insulin treatment must measure their blood sugar level several times a day. Individuals with insulin dependent diabetes test their blood glucose level using glucose meters, which are about the size of a cassette tape. After first lancing their finger with a lancet, they apply a drop of blood onto a calibrated test strip. The chemical reaction indicated by the strip is then analyzed by the meter, which determines blood glucose levels. This method is painful, and often results in individuals with diabetes not testing their blood as frequently as is medically desirable. Individuals with diabetes want to test their blood without pain, and as frequently as needed. Diabetex has obtained the licenses to a patented, non-invasive technology for analyzing blood chemistry using radio frequency, including, but not limited to blood glucose. Diabetex has obtained the prototype models and an exclusive license to the patented technology from Solid State Farms, Inc. The Company is also developing its own patents for this technology. * METABOLIC ACTIVATION CLINICS Metabolic Activation stimulates the liver to function properly. The liver is the primary chemical manufacturing and processing organ for the body. It provides enzymes needed for body-wide metabolism. In individuals with diabetes, it is the absence or lower levels of certain enzyme functions that result in body-wide metabolic dysfunction. Not only does this contribute to the fact that individuals with diabetes often feel sickly and enervated, but also to the development of the complications of the disease. The problem of managing diabetes is not simply that of improper blood sugar levels. Rather, it is improper metabolism. This causes many of the complications of the disease such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, nerve damage and blindness. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by the lack of, or poor utilization of, insulin. In individuals without diabetes, insulin secreted by the pancreas in response to carbohydrates (sugar) in food first goes to the liver by way of the portal vein. Food is digested and absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. The liver is the primary "target organ" of insulin. Insulin and sugar arriving at the liver at the same time cause it to "turn on" and to manufacture enzymes. Half of the incoming glucose is used by the liver for energy or stored for later use as glycogen or fat. In the case of Type I diabetes, insulin is not manufactured by the pancreas and, therefore, is not released into the liver. Sugar, which is not efficiently used, continues to circulate, raising blood sugar levels and being used less efficiently by the liver and by other body tissues. In Type II diabetes, insulin is manufactured. But, it is released late from the pancreas and is not used efficiently. Therefore, diabetes is not a disease of blood sugar, but rather a disease of metabolism. The Company's Metabolic Activation treatment acts to reestablish proper body-wide metabolism by restoring carbohydrate metabolism, reducing high lipid metabolism and restoring certain other metabolic functions. The primary effect is the restoration of the ability to both store and release glucose as individuals without diabetes do. It also activates metabolism needed to properly feed the heart and other tissues both directly and indirectly through complicated hormone-fuel metabolism processes. It is critical to note that only Metabolic Activation has been able to achieve this broad body-wide result, which stabilizes and even, in some cases, reverses the complications caused by the disease. [July 1999 issue of Journal of Clinical Endocrinology] To deliver Metabolic Activation, an insulin algorithm is programmed into the Company's proprietary pump, which delivers a series of intravenous insulin pulses administered concomitantly with the ingestion of oral glucose. This gives to the liver and the rest of the body the same signals an individual without diabetes receives during a meal. These signals cause the liver to "activate" and to begin metabolizing the incoming glucose in a more normal way. Once the liver is "activated," the effects persist for a period of some time after the treatment. For maximum benefit, patients are typically treated once a week. * MEDICAL INFUSION PUMPS The Company is the exclusive licensee of Hamilton-May's "Fluid Micrometer" pumping system. There are four pumps in this product line. The Company anticipates that the first will replace the existing pump for the Company's Metabolic Activation treatment program. The second is a general use infusion pump (similar to the Metabolic Activation pump). The third is a wearable insulin pump (used as a replacement for daily multiple injections). The fourth, an automatic treatment pump, is the next generation of the first and second products mentioned above. It is bi-directional, in that it will withdraw a very precise amount of blood and test it using in-line probes. Once the blood is analyzed the pump will infuse based on the results of the test. This pump will use a conventional blood test circuit built into the pump itself. The Company believes that this pump can be fitted to use any probe and any medicine. Market Size and Growth: Table E summarizes the present size and forecasted growth of the market segments of the Industry. [Download Table] Table E Market and Growth Forecast (Dollars in Millions) Existing Disposable Potential Insulin Insulin Activation Glucose Total Year Pumps Pumps* Clinics Meters* Market 2000 $ 349 $ - $ 24 $ 3,245 $ 3,618 2001 523 23 77 3,430 4,053 2002 759 79 163 3,626 4,627 2003 1,062 183 716 3,833 5,794 2004 1,434 368 3,027 4,051 8,844 2005 $ 1,864 $ 796 $ 8,000 $ 4,282 $14,942 * Includes disposable supplies and materials. Sources: NCHS, ADA, CVS, MiniMed, U.S. Census Bureau and Management Forecasts. Diabetex operates in a market characterized by rapid technological change, innovation and advancement. It holds out vast potential for growth (c.f. Table E above). As insulin pumps become much more user friendly and accurate, the Company believes that they will rapidly replace the syringe method of injection. Disposable pumps are less expensive and easier to use. Glucose meters will increasingly be non-invasive through radio frequency and other technology. Metabolic Activation treatment substantially improves the treatment of diabetes and its related complications. The forecast assumes that in the year 2005 only 10% of individuals with Type I diabetes will qualify to receive Metabolic Activation treatment. COMPETITIVE ASSESSMENT Competitors and competitive characteristics vary widely by the Company's three product lines. Therefore, each one must be addressed separately. Data provided by the NCHS and the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the market for Infusion Pumps in the year 2000 is about $350 million and is expected to increase to about $2.7 billion (including non-disposable and disposable) by 2005. The dominant competitor is MiniMed Inc., which currently controls about 80% of the insulin pump market. During the past five years its annual revenues have grown from $57 million to $212 million, an average annual compound growth rate (AACGR) of 39%. Its domestic sales of pumps have been growing at an AACGR of 56%. During the past 18 months its total annual revenue growth rate has accelerated to more than 50%. Its net margin exceeds 10% and the company is essentially debt-free. Its working capital exceeds $250 million and it has cash on hand of $92 million. MiniMed's ultimate objective is to create a total solution for diabetes through the development of an artificial pancreas. MiniMed is a powerful competitor in its segment. The Company, however, believes that MiniMed's power and driving force present opportunities for Diabetex to become a primary competitor. The total market is expected to grow from $350 million to $2.7 billion. If it is assumed that MiniMed will continue to maintain an 80% market share, $540 million will remain for other competitors including Diabetex. The market for Metabolic Activation clinics is more difficult to assess in terms of competition because there is no direct competition. There are many clinics where patients can go for treatment of diabetes. Most of these are associated with hospitals or physicians' group practices. There are, however, no competitive organizations that operate on a significant regional or national scale, and none offer Metabolic Activation. There are some clinics, which are noted for their research, such as Joslin Diabetes Center in Massachusetts. It is expected that none of the existing clinics will present significant competition for Diabetex. In fact, these clinics may actually present opportunities for strategic alliances through licensing in the future. The market for glucose meters is rapidly changing. Historically, the process of using glucose meters has involved patients pricking their fingertip several times a day in order to draw blood, which is then applied to a strip and analyzed for blood sugar level by a meter. As Table E shows, in its present configuration, the cost of the meter compares favorably with the ongoing cost of daily supplies. Major competitors, who are also potential strategic partners, include well- known companies in the healthcare field such as Abbott Laboratories (MediSense, ExacTech, Precision QID); Bayer Corporation (Glucometer Elite); Roche Group (Accu-Check Complete); and Johnson & Johnson, which leads the competitive field with LifeScan. The Company believes that is about to change. Technology is moving the product away from painful finger pricking and blood smearing toward minimally invasive or non-invasive glucose meters. Minimally invasive are worn and inserted into the subcutaneous tissue where this fluid is drawn rather than blood samples. Although it is not completely non-invasive, it is less painful than finger pricking. A number of these products have been, and continue to be developed and tested with varying degrees of success in terms of accuracy. A primary case in point is the GlucoWatch Biographer ("GlucoWatch"), produced by Cygnus, Inc. of Redwood, CA ("Cygnus"). The GlucoWatch, which has yet to come to market, has received its pre-market approval (PMA) from the FDA. It expects final FDA approval in time for commercial introduction in early 2001. Cygnus promotes the device as a "non-invasive glucose meter". In fact, it is not. It also does not monitor blood chemistry in real time. The device utilizes an "electro-osmosis" system, which extracts glucose from fluid between skin tissue rather than blood. The glucose molecules are collected in gel collection discs that are part of a single-use AutoSensor. The gel collection discs contain the enzyme glucose oxidase. As glucose enters the discs, it reacts with glucose oxidase in the gel to form hydrogen peroxide. A biosensor in contact with each gel collection disc detects the hydrogen peroxide, generating an electronic signal. The GlucoWatch uses the calibration value previously entered by the patient to convert the signal into a glucose measurement. The glucose measurement is then displayed on the biographer and stored in memory. The device is capable of providing up to three glucose readings per hour for 12 hours after a single point calibration with the results from a standard finger-stick meter. The GlucoWatch can cause mild skin irritation that can take up to several days to heal. The GlucoWatch has been tentatively priced for retail sale at $300.00, with the disposable AutoSensor priced at about $4.00. At two uses per day, the cost to the consumer of the AutoSensor would be about $2,900 per year. In addition, according to the FDA, the GlucoWatch is intended to supplement finger-stick blood glucose testing, not to replace it. Other competitors products are also being developed and tested, which include minimally invasive meters that extract glucose from subcutaneous tissues and those that operate on infrared technology. Most of those now in progress tend to be experiencing challenges of convenience or accuracy. For example, one subcutaneous continuous glucose metering system, which records and stores glucose values in memory, was approved by the FDA for use by physicians. This device, which is inserted into the skin (the sensor remains in the subcutaneous tissue once the needle is removed), does not provide measurements to the patient. Reportedly, those metering systems using infrared technology tend to be slow and are not accurate. Laser technology, used to boost the power of infrared metering systems, is very expensive. The Company is not aware of a successful non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer. DIABETEX'S COMPETITIVE POSITION The Company is in the process of designing, developing pumps and meters, while planning to expand its Metabolic Activation clinics. It has several patent license agreements, and its own research team has the potential to create proprietary patents. Diabetex continues to seek to establish strategic partnerships with organizations that provide ongoing research, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. It has generated only minimal revenues from licensing its Metabolic Activation process. The Company must be considered an "developmental stage" enterprise. The following assesses the Company's positioning in terms of its "distinctive product characteristics" and its "ongoing challenges" in relation to the market and to existing competitors. NON-INVASIVE GLUCOSE METER AND BLOOD ANALYSER The completed non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer is based on radio frequency technology. The following are the completed meter's distinct qualities and competitive advantages, particularly in relation to the traditional lancet method: * Non-invasive and painless. * Greater accuracy than existing products. * Allows measurement at any time. * No expensive supplies. * Priced competitively. * Protected by strong patents. * Continuous readings more accurately and faster than current lancet procedures. Although the Company believes these distinctive product characteristics suggest that its non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer will have a competitive advantage over any existing or potential competitors, the Company still faces significant challenges before it can successfully bring it to market. * Design and testing must be completed. * FDA approval must be sought and received. * Distribution channels may be achieved internally or through strategic alliances. * Effective brand-oriented marketing programs must be prepared. METABOLIC ACTIVATION CLINICS The Company believes that Metabolic Activation treatment through both Company-owned and licensed clinics is the business line from which the Company has the greatest opportunity to initially expand its revenues and add substantial profits. This treatment uses a pump that has been tested and has received 510(k) market-clearance from the FDA. Its distinctive product characteristics and advantages are clear: * It addresses the core issue of metabolic dysfunction. * It is beyond the experimental stage with five (5) licensed clinics/hospitals. * It has been proved to be highly effective in stabilizing and reversing the debilitating complications caused by diabetes. * Patented equipment exists and can be made available for use in clinics. Along with these positive factors, there are some challenges: * A Company-owned and opertated prototype clinic must be successful. * The prototype must be replicated in several markets. * Arrangements must be made to equip clinics. * Physicians, administrators and technicians must be recruited and trained. * Effective brand-oriented marketing programs must be prepared. * Acceptance and simplification of third party payments. INFUSION PUMPS The Company's primary potential entry into the infusion pump market is the Fluid Micrometer Pump. It has several highly distinctive characteristics: * Greater accuracy with its disposable cartridges. * A more efficient rate of insulin flow to the patient. * Simplicity of design with no drip bags. * Much lower price compared to the industry average of $5,000. * The technology can be used in the Metabolic Activation pump. As with the Company's other products, there are some challenges: * Further development and testing is required. * FDA approval must be sought and received. * Distribution channels must be established. * Effective brand-oriented marketing plans must be prepared. REQUIRED FINANCING: The Company is seeking $4.0 million of new financing. As discussed later in this document, this financing will be used for working capital and for product development during the eighteen months of the plan. RELATIONSHIPS IN PROVIDING EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES The Company has used the Aoki Diabetes Research Institute ("Research Institute") for treatment verification. The Research Institute, as a non-profit entity, is able to conduct clinical trials and work with other entities to conduct studies at a lower cost than would otherwise be required of the Company. The Company currently has a location in Sacramento, California in a shared-space arrangement with licensor Hamilton-May. The Company anticipates assembling the new pump under an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement at the Sacramento site. The Company has acquired a complete boxing and shipping system through its co-location with the Hamilton-May companies. This shared location is on a month-to-month rental. It was offered to the Company to help centralize the manufacture, shipping and handling facilities. No long term agreements or leases are in effect, and the Company can re-locate at will. CONSUMER BASE Diabetex operates in a market, which consists of 16.2 million individuals with diabetes, (c.f. Table C above), whose annual medical, disability and mortality cost in the United States is $115 billion (c.f. Table D above). During the past 2 years, the Company has addressed three areas critical to the care and treatment of individuals with diabetes, namely: a) measuring blood sugar levels; b) providing infusions of insulin; and c) correcting metabolic dysfunction. The Company's specific market niche in the year 2000 is $3.6 billion. During the next five (5) years, this market is expected to increase at an annual rate of 33% and to reach a level of $15 billion. Much of the growth will be driven by new product introductions and product growth will be driven by new product introductions and product substitution as a result of technological advancement. COMPETITION There will be strong competition for market leadership. Competition in the largest segment (glucose meters and supplies) is evident among the major pharmaceutical companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Corporation, and The Roche Group. Specialty companies such as MiniMed currently dominate a smaller segment of the market. This infusion pump market is growing at 50% annually. To date, the Company believes that no company has come up with a successful glucose meter based on radio frequency technology. LICENSES a.)

MANAGEMENT'S DECISIONS and ANALYSIS or PLAN of OPERATIONS PLAN of OPERATION Mission and Strategy: The Company views its marketing mission to exploit its business opportunities. It plans is to introduce commercially viable solutions, which have been under development by the Company. The Company believes that its products and services will offer proven significant enhancement of the quality of life to sufferers of this disease. The Company will serve individuals with diabetes in three ways: * Clinically improve metabolism of glucose in the individual with diabetes: * The Company plans to open company-owned and managed clinics for its treatments. * Its patent protected and licensed Metabolism Activation treatment has 17 years of documented success in substantially controlling the complications of diabetes, and in some cases, reversing their effects; * Painlessly measuring blood glucose: * The Company plans to introduce a non-invasive meter to measure blood glucose. * Currently, in its final evaluative stages, the Company's patented product is a real-time blood analyzer, which when completed will eliminate pain, fear of infection and the need for skin piercing paraphernalia for individuals with diabetes. * Efficiently and automatically infuse insulin: * The Company plans to introduce a highly efficient and portable, state-of-the-art insulin infusion pump. * The Company's patented-design pumps are in the final stages of development. The pumps, designed to be worn by patients on insulin therapy, create a controlled flow of insulin, eliminating the need to carry needles and other injection paraphernalia. Marketing Programs: For all product lines, the Company plans to deploy an aggressive consumer-oriented, integrated direct marketing strategy. The Company has chosen the following media mix, on a localized target market basis: * Direct mail. * Direct response print advertising. * Direct response cable television. * Direct response local radio. * Direct selling (or professional referral) by independent pharmacies, diabetes educators and dietitians. * Interactive e-commerce and informational web site. * E-mail relationship marketing and informational exchange. * In-store (pharmacy) or in-facility (doctor's office or hospital reception areas) interactive counter top displays of Company products, services or informational relationships. * In-bound telemarketing with toll-free numbers. In addition to the above media mix, the Company will design its public relations efforts to promote its brand names and testimonials. It plans to produce a video of its products and processes that will be used as giveaway promotions to its customers, and retail distribution outlets. It is the Company's expectation that such nationally televised shows as Good Morning America (ABC) and the Today Show (NBC) will be prime targets for public relations efforts along with nationally syndicated or local market radio talk shows. Through initial marketing efforts, the intent of the Company is to develop a Company-owned database of clients, and to create consumer and market awareness of the Company's products and services. Additionally, the Company hopes to gain the confidence of its clientele through education regarding the management of this very debilitating disease. MARKETING TARGETES Based on its assessment of the marketplace, management's targets are reflected in the projected revenue and gross profit targets shown in Table A.

NOTE: THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE TABLE ABOVE IS FORWARD LOOKING, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY. THE MARKETING PLAN The Company is now prepared to expand the research and development of its patented Metabolic Activation process. While the Company has defined its introduction strategy for the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer and the pump, these products are not yet market -ready. The following discussion by management includes anticipated timetables for the introduction of these products. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES The Company plans to rely heavily on strategic alliances with independent "neighborhood" pharmacies. Management believes its strategic competitive advantage is best served by utilizing these relationships rather than relying solely on direct marketing to the diabetic. The Company's competitors, particularly in the infusion pump business, have tended to eliminate pharmaceutical wholesalers and retail pharmacies. Instead they have chosen to deal directly with their target customers. By having the pharmacy act as a "Diabetex Service Station", the Company intends to reinforce its brand message, build itssocietal message and maintain a close relationship with its customer(1). The independent pharmacy should appreciate the advantage of being a strategic partner.(2) The Company intends to utilize the additional referral business for its other products, its Metabolic Activation clinics, infusion pumps, non-invasive glucose meters and blood analyzers. The pharmacies will also be able to share in the Company's success by being a part of the Company's brand message to its consumers. More often than not, the independent pharmacy is able to establish a personal relationship with the consumer. As a result, the customer trusts the pharmacist and allows the pharmacist to be a respected part of a sphere-of-influence in health care maintenance. Consequently, the Company plans to have these neighborhood pharmacies function as a local direct selling customer training and serivce organization. The Company will explore opportunities to co-brand or co-market its non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer with well-established pharmaceutical companies. Some of these companies include Johnson & Johnson, Bayer Corporation, The Roche Group and Abbott Laboratories. METABOLIC ACTIVATION CLINICS By the Spring of 2001, the Company plans to open its first company-operated clinic in Manhattan, New York. The Company has licensed five clinics now in operation, along with the Aoki Clinic, in the following locations: [Download Table] METABOLIC ACTIVATION CLINICS Metabolic Activation Clinic Licensees Location Number of Patients -------------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- Via Christi Medical Center Wichita, KS 7 Presbyterian/St. Luke's Denver, CO 4 Diabetes Center of the Southwest Midland, TX 9 Endocrine Associates Santa Rosa, CA 10 New Bedford Clinic New Bedford, MA 0 AOKI Clinic Sacramento, CA 50 -------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- Total Patients 80 ------------------------ ------------------------ ---------------------- The Company believes that the Manhattan market may best serve its objectives. * New York Metro Market has a large base of individuals with insulin dependent diabetes who will benefit from the clinic's services. * It provides the Company with a large enough available market to test its marketing strategies. * The per capita income in New York is relatively high. Should the Company experience any difficulties with insurance reimbursement, it believes it will be successful in attracting affluent self-paying patients. * The market is conducive to integrated direct marketing strategies. The tri-state New York Metro market (New York, Connecticut, New Jersey) offers a substantial base for the introduction of its products (3) and clearly demonstrates a need.

The estimated total of persons diagnosed with diabetes in the tri -state this area is 1,094,126 (see chart above). (4) [Download Table] ESTIMATED POPULATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DIABETES IN COUNTIES OF THE TRI-STATE AREA KNOWN AS THE "METROPOLITAN AREA" OF NEW YORK State By County ----------------------- ----------------------- CT 126.000 NJ 134.000 NY 389.000 Total Est. 649.000 On a national basis, there are 9.7 million households with incomes of $100,000 or more. Of the 270 million population of the United States in 1999, 3.6% were in that category. 5 The New York Metro market exceeds national income averages by an estimated 20%. The Company estimates that approximately 4.3% of this market segment earns incomes of $200,000 or more. Due to this affluence, it is likely that a significant number of individuals with diabetes within this market would be able to afford the Company's Metabolic Activation treatment without the need for insurance reimbursement. Additionally, the New York City market provides the Company with a statistically significant segment to test the Company's market strategy in a controlled environment. The Company, while continuing to examine various alternatives for location of its Metabolic Activation clinics, has chosen New York City in view of a wide range of factors, such as, proximity to the targeted demographic, ease of transportation and relationships with physicians, hospitals and other such health care providers. The Company's pricing structure for services performed in the clinics is based on licensee experience and the various medical procedures that make up Metabolic Activation. There is no designated CPT code (the standard coding system recognized by third party payers, insurance companies and HMO's for medical procedures) for Metabolic Activation therapy. A number of the medical procedures that make up this therapy do have CPT codes. Among these are measurement of respiratory function, infusion therapy, and glucose measurement. Company licensees have been charging $600-$700 as an aggregate amount submitted on their insurance forms. The Company's charges for such services will be $800 per patient visit. The prescribed regimen for this treatment is usually a weekly Metabolic Activation. Licensees offer Metabolic Activation to selected patients with diabetes, and have been billing their insurance plans since 1990. These patients are subscribers to or beneficiaries of various insurance plans, both public and private. Medicare is the single most common coverage. Medicare neither verifies patient eligibility nor pre-authorizes any services. Therefore, providers are unable to pre-determine if services are to be reimbursed. Reimbursement by Medicare to hospitals has been reliable at 80% of allowable rates. Medicare reimbursement to physicians offices has been less reliable. However,when challenged, Administrative Law Judges have found the treatment to have been medically necessary, and payments have been made. Private insurance often requires and denies pre-authorization for treatment. As with Medicare, when challenged, state insurance commissions have found the treatment to be medically necessitated. LOCAL MARKET INFLUENCERS: "Diabetex Freedom Service Centers" The Company will use local market resources to influence the sale of the Company's products and services. As a result, the Company will have available to it, by market, relevant statistics of : * Insulin taking individuals with diabetes. * Diabetes educators. * Independent pharmacists who are willing to participate in the Company's program. The Company anticipates providing training for these participants regarding the Company's mission and product lines. As a part of its participation, the Company will provide instruction and support to train their customers in the use of the Company's products, as well as to the benefits of its clinics. The Company is in the process of securing these relationships in the greater New York metropolitan area as well as in other markets. Marketing the Company's service and products involves targeting individuals with diabetes and convincing them to choose the Company as the preferred alternative or supplement to conventional diabetes management. Markets and Marketing * The Company plans to establish its clinics in affiliation with hospital centers within the target market. * Traditional "area" or mapping marketing strategies will be employed in site acquisitions.(6) Clinics will be opened within a geographical area which is closest to the greatest diabetes need. * Therefore, each targeted metro market will be segmented into regions and local neighborhoods. The Company does not have to be limited to opening only one Metabolic Activation clinic per market. Should the Company be successful in opening its first Metabolic Activation clinic in the targeted metro market, other neighborhood clusters will be identified and the local marketing effort will be implemented there. * The Company will conduct primary and secondary market research. The development of the local market strategy is to attract individuals with diabetes to the Company's referral sources. These resources should enhance a personal selling and trust building relationship with the individual with diabetes. This should increase registration at the Metabolic Activation clinics. THE MARKET Individuals with diabetes should measure their blood glucose levels, whether or not they are taking insulin as part of a treatment regimen to avoid the disastrous complications of the disease(7). About 70% of individuals with diabetes do not test their blood because it is painful and bothersome. Approximately 43% of total individuals diagnosed with diabetes take insulin (about 4.8 million people). About 30% of individuals with Type II diabetes take insulin. Nearly 15% take only insulin and 15% take insulin and other diabetic drug therapies. Insulin users monitor their blood glucose levels. Roughly 85% of individuals with Type II diabetes measure their own blood with some invasive metering devise that forces them to prick their skin, draw blood or interstitial fluid to measure their blood glucose levels. Insulin users dislike invasive procedures because scar tissue builds up, fingers become extra sensitive to the touch, they are prone to infection and the process is painful.(8) The Company estimates that the market for meters and meter supplies is $3.3 billion in 2000 and will grow to $4.3 billion by 2005.9 The Company is positioned to exploit this market situation. COMPETITION The major competitors in this market segment are: * Abbott Laboratories (Medisense Company: Exac, Precision brands) * Bayer Corporation (Glucometer Elite brand) * Roche Group (Boehringer Mannheim Company: Accu-check) * Johnson & Johnson (Lifescan Company) There are no meters on the market that are 100% non-invasive. To some degree, the competitive models measure glucose through skin invasive means. All are painful to use and require the user to purchase paraphernalia for taking blood samples that could cost the average user between $600 and $1,000 a year. The latest development, the GlucoWatch, manufactured by Cygnus, Inc., claims to be "non-invasive". However, according to the FDA panel recommendations 10 the GlucoWatch measures intracellular fluid, not blood, and it "extracts fluid through the skin and then measures the glucose in the fluid." The GlucoWatch has not yet received FDA approval for consumer use. Other clinical studies demonstrate that some patients using the GlucoWatch experience skin irritation.(11) [Download Table] Glucose Meters in Use by People Using Insulin Pumps (12) BRAND NAME PERCENT OF MARKET ______________________________________ ___________________________ Accu-Chek Complete 24% Advantage 10% Bayer Dex 6% Glucometer Elite 7% Lifescan Fast Take 12% Lifescan One Touch II 3% Lifescan One Touch Profile 20% Lifescan Original One Touch 6% Lifescan Sure Step 1% MediSense Precision QID 3% Miscellaneous 8% --------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Total 100% DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT The Company's non-invasive meter measures blood glucose using radio frequency technology. The Company holds license to eight patents relevant to this technology. The Company believes it will be ready for FDA filing in mid 2002. Advantages of the Company's product are: * Non-invasive. * Portable * Measures blood (not body fluids). * Measures in real time (not delayed as in measuring intercellular tissue fluid). * Has no need for disposable supplies or paraphernalia. * Can continuously monitor blood glucose levels in real time. PRICING * The Company plans to produce a basic model that can be adapted to institutional and professional use once it successfully launches as a consumer product. * Individuals with diabetes spend between $600 to $1,000 per year on today's disposables. The average is $700. The life of an average meter is five years, based on the Company's testing. For the life of a meter, an individual with diabetes will spend approximately $3,000 to $5,000 for supplies. The present meters are discounted heavily so that insulin users will buy the supplies from the meter manufacturer. Supplies are unique to each meter. Since the Diabetex meter is being designed to be non-invasive, not only will it be painless, but it also will not require ancillary supplies. The Company's price of $3500 has been predicated on market research and is competitively positioned. INFUSION PUMPS The Company intends to have its infusion pump ready for commercialization by the Fall of 2001. Market research has proven that the infusion pump market is a growing market. The Market The insulin pump, small and compact, is designed to function almost like the human pancreas, delivering insulin in small amounts throughout the day. The benefits of insulin pump therapy include improved blood sugar control during play, work or sleep, increased lifestyle flexibility and a lower risk of long term complications normally associated with diabetes including blindness and neuropathy, often resulting in amputation. The pump allows tight glycemic control for individuals with diabetes. Intensive diabetes management is defined as three or more injections of insulin per day or use of an insulin pump. Less than 25% of individuals with Type I diabetes practice intensive therapy. However, more than 60 % of the professionals treating patients with diabetes, doctors and nurses, who themselves have diabetes, reported using insulin pumps rather than traditional syringe therapy.(13) The market for insulin pumps is growing at a greater than a 50% annual rate. (14) It is the Company's estimates that the market in 1999 was $225 million, in 2000 $349 million and by 2005 will be $1.9 billion. 15 It will be driven by the increased availability of products by existing competitors and the market demand for products and services that will give the individual with diabetes greater control over the state of such person's disease management. The leading competitor in this market is MiniMed, with an 80% market share. The other major competitor is Disetronic, which is the leading marketer of pumps in Europe. During the first quarter of 2000, Animas Corporation received FDA approval for a wearable pump, which it is in the process of commercializing. The Company's consumer marketing strategy will be to create a pump based on the patents licensed to the Company. The completed pump will offer consumers improved benefits at better prices than the most popular pumps on the market. THE PUMP PRODUCT LINE The Fluid Micrometer Pumping System Diabetex is licensed to market the Hamilton-May Fluid Micrometer Pump. This disposable cartridge pump with ultra high accuracy offers significantly improved benefits with fewer disadvantages than pumps currently on the market. This pump is designed to precisely deliver insulin, reducing harmful side effects for the individual with diabetes. The Fluid Micrometer Pump is extremely accurate and is not limited by averaging accuracy error calculations. It holds its accuracy at all logical pressures and speeds and in all concentrations of the liquids. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PUMP The Fluid Micrometer has many features that are the basis for its application to fluid delivery needs: a. The device has only one moving part that rotates to deliver the fluid. By having only one moving part, the unit can be controlled much more easily, and the fluids are subjected to many fewer stresses, shearing forces and polarization forces. b. It can be made in many different sizes and shapes, giving different ranges and capacities to match different energy sources. c. It is production manufactured to be accurate to 1 micro-liter with plus-or-minus 1-2 percent accuracy. d. It is capable of very high pressure (in steel or ceramics) and economical operation in plastic or glass. e. It is a positive displacement system capable of pumping both very high viscosity (thick) and very low viscosity (thin) fluids. f. Either the reservoir (cartridge) or the entire pump, when made out of plastic or other inexpensive materials, becomes an inexpensive disposable unit. g. The reservoir can be pre-filled, thereby enabling the seller to market pre-filled cartridges. Also, expensive residues (leftovers) are not lost as occurs with a transportation bottle. (This happens when fluid is drawn from a bottle, and then used to fill a cartridge or bag.) h. In operation, it can avoid slip-stick or chatter in delivery, a problem found in most other pumping systems. i. It will accurately both infuse or withdraw measured amounts, reversing directions or starting and stopping without measurable lag (hysteresis). This allows it to take in and then re-dispense the same amount accurately, and without need for complicated compensating software. j. Due to its accuracy, it can be made in truly miniaturized equipment form. (Most non-miniaturization is related to the inability to accurately and economically pump low volumes.) k. The size or dimensions of the pumping cartridge is not a limitation to the basic benefit, and as such, the pump can be integrated into different systems. l. By directly translating digital data into fluid motion, and by using a pump which has no measurable slip-stick or hysteresis, the highly complicated correcting software associated with positioners is not necessary, and the software is thus simplified. m. By eliminating the correction software, it can accurately sense "occlusions" in the set. n. One highly unusual aspect of the pump is the ability to start and stop fluid delivery at relatively high delivery speeds while maintaining accuracy. This gives the system great utility, and is ideal for pulsatile infusion. o. The cartridge will not siphon out of the pump, or accidentally deliver fluid when dropped or pushed against by accident or mishandling. p. Optical reading of the bar code on the cartridge will allow mistakes to be minimized, as the maximum allowable dose or delivery can be set by each cartridge, and based upon weight. q. Time and motion is greatly simplified and reduced when: (1) There is no unpacking of the product to place in the storage area; the cartridge is the storage item. (2) There is no diluting to accommodate a less accurate pump. (3) There is no loss of reagent in the bottle (4) There is no measurement of fluids when there is no mixing. MEDICAL INFUSION DEVICES The customary way to handle both intravenous and CSII insulin is to dilute medicine so as to accommodate less accurate infusion systems. Before pumps were available, it was customary to use a continuous "drip". Next, drip counters were used. Finally, a pump, which was little more than a drip-counter, became the standard. The limitations of hanging medicines are a product of old delivery systems and standards. The therapeutic effect of non-diluted medicine given at specific timing intervals has been under study and is widely believed to be of significant benefit over conventional delivery systems. The ability to deliver non-diluted medicines at specific times and with high accuracy offers a greater benefit to the user. THE PUMP FOR THE TREATMENT OF IMPROPER METABOLISM, INCLUDING DIABETES A major limitation of conventional infusion systems is the inability of current pumps to deliver small doses accurately at a relatively high rate of flow. Generally speaking, the current pumps can either achieve high flow rates, or high accuracy, but not both. Some systems need to be able to start and stop quickly, without follow-on flow. Such performance has historically been limited to expensive laboratory devices. However, such needs are now being seen as a modality of choice in certain therapies. The use of bags and large amounts of fluid in medicine have come from the failure of equipment to be exact. The change from a "hanging bag" or bottle has been slow since there was no easy alternative. New diabetes treatment is now delivered using a syringe pump which is not as accurate as the clinical personnel would like. The treatment requires starting and stopping the pump at specified short intervals, an action very difficult to achieve with a conventional syringe, and impossible with a peristaltic pump. CONVENTIONAL PUMPING OPERATIONS COMPARED There are many ways to pump, including peristaltic, displacement, syringe/piston, vacuum, bellows, rotary, capillary, centrifugal, osmotic, siphon, gear, and others. However, in the infusion business, the ground glass or polished metal syringe systems have dominated the high precision delivery market. The problem with these syringe pumps is that as force is applied to the plunger, there is a measurable slip-stick, chatter or shutter. Another limitation to many systems is that they often create shear forces on the fluid as valves open and close. The Company believes this limitation does not exist for the Company's technology, thus making it suitable for many new purposes. THE PRODUCT MIX The line of pumps will consist of two general use infusion pumps and one specifically designed for Metabolic Activation. * The wearable Insulin Infusion Pump: the Consumer product " Diabetex Freedom Pump." * Market launch Fall, 2001 * The Professional Infusion Pump: for institutions and doctors' offices. * Market launch Summer, 2001. * The Metabolic Activation Pump: for use in the Company's and Metabolic Activation Clinics. * Market launch Summer, 2001. DIABETEX FREEDOM PUMP This is similar to non-patented features of market leaders: * More accurate dosing because of the Company's patented processes. * Waterproof. * Greater memory. * Remote activation with vibrating activator to alert diabetic. * Docking station to download information to own records or to the physician. * Lifetime warrantee. * Pre-filled insulin cartridges. * "Tack-on" sales of insulin cartridges and prescription medications. * Patented micrometer screw. The Professional Infusion Pump( PIP) and The Metabolic Activation Pump (MAP) Both pumps are intended for the professional marketplace. The Metabolic Activation Pump is intended for use in Metabolic Activation Clinics, while the PIP is for nursing homes, hospitals and all-purpose medical applications. * There are 7,000 hospitals, 2,048 nursing homes, 1,230 infusion/home healthcare facilities and 685 HMO facilities that are proposed targets for these products.(16) * The Company will engage in a direct sales effort to target these facilities EIGHTEEN MONTH OPERATIONAL PLAN Over the course of the next eighteen months, the Company needs to determine the viability of its Metabolic Activation Clinics. As discussed earlier in this document it anticipates opening its first company-owned facility in the New York metropolitan area within the next six-month period. Published data exists documenting the effectiveness the of Metabolic Activation treatment. To date, corresponding revenues from this business segment have been limited. The Company believes this to be true due the treatment's expense, the unwillingness of both private and public insurers to cover the cost and a lack of marketing by the licensee physicians . The Company believes that when the treatment becomes more widely accepted and prescribed by the medical community, both public and private insurers will more readily reimburse patients for this treatment. To that end the Company will direct its promotional efforts to enhancing the acceptance of this treatment among the medical profession. While the Company currently uses standard infusion pumps already cleared for market use by the FDA, most notably the Bionica Pump, it intends to center its efforts on the pump. While the patent for this pump is still pending, the Company is adapting its present pumps to enhance its Metabolic Activation process. This adaptation should allow the Company access to the larger infusion market with improved performance, and safety. It has established the following schedule for this business segment: * Design and develop a replacement pump by the end of Spring, 2001 * Submit this product for FDA approval by Summer, 2001 In addition, to the pump business segment, the Company has plans to complete its development of the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer. The Company has successfully tested its meter in the laboratory, and plans to complete the design and manufacture of a prototype by the Spring of 2002. If the prototype exhibits the same success as the laboratory model, the Company will seek to complete its clinical trials in time to apply for FDA approval by the late mid-2002. RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT The ongoing research effort for both the infusion pump and the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer will be under the direction of David Walsh, Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Anatoly Tsaliovich, Vice President of Research & Development for Diabetex, will concentrate his efforts on the development of the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer. Research on the infusion pump consists of designing and developing the Company's own patented infusion unit with its unique pumping system. In some respects the Company's pump will mimic those of its most successful competitors. It will, however, have added critical features of enhanced levels of dosage accuracy and fluid flow rates. This should make the Diabetex pump superior to diabetes-related pumps currently on the market. In terms of the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer, the Company is currently conducting basic research to determine the interaction and correlation of the return signals from electromagnetic radio waves when directed toward in vivo human blood. Particular attention is being paid to identifying internal blood components, then measuring and tracking any changes in these blood components. This is ongoing research. It is expected to continue through mid-2001, at which point the Company should have developed the correlations, which will enable Diabetex to produce an accurate and FDA accepted non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer. Once this is accomplished, further work will be required to improve the current measurement system. In addition, basic R&D will be conducted to identify and measure other blood analysis. The Company will also develop its own patents. The anticipated research and development costs associated with the products above is $ 125,000 over a twelve-month period. MANGEMENT and PERSONNEL NEEDS As a developing enterprise, a senior management team has been put in place. At present, senior management consists of six (6) people. In order to successfully complete this operational plan the Company must immediately seek to secure a major injection of new capital. The Company is seeking $4.0 million dollars of new capital. This financing will be used as working capital and for product development during the first eighteen months of the operational plan.

ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY SIGNIFICANTLY. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, YEARS ENDING DEC. 31, 1999 AND 1998 There were no revenues for 1998 as compared to revenues of $40,605 in 1999. All revenues in 1999 resulted from the Metabolic Activation treatment clinics. Prior to and until December 31, 1998, the Company had no operations. Beginning with January, 1999 the Company began an aggressive program to meet the requirements of its new focus: the treatment and diagnosis of diabetes. During 1999, the Company issued stock for services and the purchase of a subsidiary and other intellectual properties that advance the treatment and diagnosis of diabetes. During the first six (6) months of 1999, the Company acquired the rights to 44 patents (8 of which are still active) related to technology designed to provide non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. Additionally, in June, 1999, the Company acquired Advanced Metabolic Technologies, Inc. at a purchase price of $12,322,610 all of which was purchased with 1,232,261 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $10.00 per share (private placement price). This subsidiary held rights and patents to Advanced Metabolic treatment and five (5) operating clincs. All of the revenues earned in 1999 are attributable to these operations. In June, 1999, the Company also acquired a license for all intellectual properties related to an insulin pump developed by Hamilton-May Corporation. Each of these acquisitions and purchases were completed by the transfer of common shares of Diabetex's stock. This resulted in an increase in the average number of shares issued and outstanding to 12,288,901 shares as compared to 42,511 shares in 1998. The Net Loss increased from $650 or $0.02 per share in 1998 to $1,746,616 or $0.14 per share in 1999. This increase in Net Loss is attributable to the fact that the Company had no operations in 1998 and a total expense for professional services of $650, while the acquisitions of 1999 increased the total expense items of the Company to $1,805,221. Thes expenses include the amortization and depreciation of its licenses and equipment, consulting services, legal and accounting, public relations and administrative costs. RISKS: With the exception of Metabolic Activation procedure, the Company's products are still very experimental. While the Company is encouraged and enthusiastic about its laboratory results both in regard to the pumps and to the non-invasive glucose meter and blood analyzer, it should be noted that the possibility exists that the technology may fail to work sufficiently well so as to obtain licensing from the appropriate agencies, or the feasibility of manufacture may be limited by expense, process or technology. The Metabolic Activation clinics can generate sufficient revenues to make the Company profitable, provided this treatment obtains wider acceptance by the medical community.

Consolidated Financial Statements INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Stockholders and Directors Diabetex International Corporation and subsidiary Sacramento, CA We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diabetex International Corporation (a Nevada Corporation) (a development stage enterprise) and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Diabetex International Corporation for the period September 14, 1983 to December 31, 1996 were audited by other accountants whose report is dated January 15, 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 Diabetex International Corporation at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years 1999 , 1998 and 1997, and for the period from September 14, 1983 (inception) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12, the Company's recurring operating losses and lack of working capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 12. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Crouch, Bierwolf & Chisholm Salt Lake City, UT April 12, 2000 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Board of Directors Sheridan Industries, Inc New York, NY We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sheridan Industries, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and from the date of inception on September 14, 1983 through December 31,1996. 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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company with no operations to date. Since the Company has had no operations to date, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4.

Organization The financial statements presented are those of Diabetex International Corporation (formerly Sheridan Industries, Inc.) ( a development stage company). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on September 14, 1983. The Company changed its name to Associated Healthcare, Inc. during 1991 but later rescinded the name change and reverted back to Sheridan Industries, Inc. The Company has never had any operations up to December 31, 1998 and in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development stage company. The Company is now involved in the treatment and diagnosis of diabetes. In 1998, the Company created, and later merged with, a Nevada subsidiary and changed its name to Diabetex International Corporation. In June 1999, the Company purchased all of the shares of Advanced Metabolic Technologies, a Nevada corporation (AMT) (See Note 3 for discussion of AMT and its activity). AMT was formed on May 19, 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Metabolic Systems (AMS) which transferred an exclusive license to patented proprietary technology for the treatment of diabetes known as Metabolic Activation. b. Accounting Method The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year end. c. Loss Per Share The computations of loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. Fully diluted loss per share and basic loss per share at December 31, 1999 is the same since any outstanding stock equivalents at December 31, 1999 (335,243 shares) would be antidilutive. There were no outstanding stock equivalents for all other periods; therefore, basic and fully diluted shares are the same. Diabetex International Corporation (A Development Stage Company) Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 1999 and 1998 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY (continued) d. Provision for Taxes The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income taxes" in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and was applied retroactively. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 " Accounting for Income Taxes" requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes. This statement recognizes (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of accounting transactions for tax and financial reporting purposes. There were no temporary differences at December 31, 1999 and earlier years; accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities have been recognized for all years. The Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of over $1,850,000 at December 31, 1999. No effect has been shown in the financial statements for the net operating loss carryforwards as the likelihood of future tax benefit from such net operating loss carryforwards is highly improbable. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards, estimated based upon current tax rates at December 31, 1999 have been offset by valuation reserves of the same amount. The net operating losses begin to expire in the year 2003. e. Cash or Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. f. Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diabetex International Corporation and its subsidiary, Advanced Metabolic Technology. Collectively, these entities are referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. g. Impairment of Long Lived Assets All long-lived assets (including intangible assets) are evaluated for are evaluated for impairment wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair market value based on the best information available. The Company determines whether an impairment has occurred by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal to the asset's carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, then the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair market value.
