Wer interssiert sich noch für die Firma Biopulse.
Zuzeit sind 3 Krebstests in der Entwicklung.
Hier ein kurzer Überblick.
Welcome To The
Complesys Website
Many biotech companies are focusing in immune-based therapy for cancer and other diseases.
Complesys is participating in these efforts by licensing technology in the field and developing
integrated cancer treatment programs. The Complesys "integrated medicine" approach includes
elements of both biotech research and alternative medicine.
We believe that an effective program to control and effectively treat cancer must include three
elements:
Prevention
Early Detection
Holistic Treatment
Complesys believes that we have leading technology in the following areas:
anti-angiogenesis agents
cancer vaccine preparation
cancer diagnostics
immune stimulants
tumor antigen isolation
cytokine-based treatments
Der Kurs hatte leider sehr sehr gelitten.Ein Grund dafür war unter anderem falsche Gerüchte.
Die Firma beschäftigt sich mit alternativen Medizin.Ein bereich der meiner Meinung nach
etwas vernachlässigt wird.
Für weitere Fragen stehe ich gerne zur verfügung oder die Homepage www.complesys.com

BioPulse Technologie zur Krebsdiagnostik erhaelt gute fachliche Beurteilung
Cancer Detection and Prevention publiziert erste Forschungsergebnisse in Bezug auf einzigartigen
Immuntest
San Ysidro, Kalifornien (ots-PRNewswire) - BioPulse International, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: BIOP;
Frankfurt: BPZ) gab heute die Veröffentlichung von Untersuchungsergebnissen in der Zeitschrift Journal
of Cancer Detection and Prevention bekannt, dem offiziellen Organ der International Society for
Preventive Oncology (ISPO). Die von Kim L. O`Neill, Ph.D, und Kollegen an der Brigham Young
University verfasste Studie stellt Ergebnisse in Bezug auf den Thymidinkinase I Immuntest (TK1) dar: ein
potenzieller neuer Brustkrebsmarker.
Loran Swensen, Präsident von BioPulse kommentierte, "BioPulse and Covance, Inc. entwickeln derzeit die
Markteinführung dieser Technologie für einen späteren Zeitpunkt dieses Jahres. Die weltweiten
Marktumsätze werden auf 28 Milliarden US$ geschätzt. Die Technologie ist derzeit durch ein
Schlüsselpatent geschützt, das noch für etwa 15 Jahre gültig ist. Der Testkit ist zum frühen Nachweis von
Krebs gedacht, sowie für die Beobachtung des Verlaufes der Krebsbehandlung und der Entwicklung einer
Prognose für den Patienten nach der Behandlung. Der Test gilt als Durchbruch in der Forschung. Seine
Einfachheit, die niedrigen Kosten, die hohe Genauigkeit, die Tatsache, dass es sich um einen
nicht-invasiven Test handelt und die Möglichkeit der Frühentdeckung sind bei den meisten
Erkrankungsfällen entscheidende Vorteile gegenüber den anderen Bluttests, Radiogrammen, Biopsien,
etc."
Auszüge aus dem Artikel in der Zeitschrift Cancer Detection and Prevention:
Die Studie die unter der Leitung von Kim L. O`Neill Ph.D durchgeführt wurde, umfasst die Quantifizierung
der TK1-Aktivität mit Hilfe des Strahlentests und der Proteinmengen mit Hilfe unseres monoklonalen
Antikörpers in 218 Serumproben von Fällen postoperativen Brustkrebses. Es ergab sich eine Korrelation
der beiden Tests. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigten, dass der TK1 Immuntest-Antikörper nicht nur eine lineare,
reproduzierbare und spezifische Antwort ergab, sondern die Menge an TK1 in Brustkrebszellen und im
Serum genau misst. Unser monoklonaler Antikörper ist beim Management von Brustkrebs möglicherweise
von klinischem Nutzen.
Die TK1-Aktivität wird derzeit mit Hilfe eines nicht sehr empfindlichen Strahlentests gemessen, der in den
50er Jahren entwickelt worden war. Frühere Forschungsergebnisse ließen vermuten, dass TK1 als
diagnostisches Werkzeug verwendbar ist und den Kliniker bei der Erstellung der Prognose und Diagnose
von Brustkrebs unterstützen kann. Rückschläge bei der Verwendung dieses Strahlentests waren
allerdings der Grund für Frustration bei den klinischen Anwendern. Aus diesem Grund haben wir einen
monoklonalen Antikörper gegen TK1 entwickelt. Dessen Zuverlässigkeit wurde mittels der ELISA
Technologie geprüft. Eine Erhöhung der TK 1-Aktivität liegt nicht nur bei Patienten im fortgeschrittenen
Stadium vor, sondern auch bei Patienten mit Primärtumor. Dies ist bei anderen Tumormarkern nicht der
Fall. Mittels einer wiederholten Messung der TK1-Aktivität im Serum lassen sich Rückfälle und
Remissionen verfolgen; das Maß der TK1-Aktivität in primären Brustgewebstumoren korreliert in direkter
Weise mit einer Wiederkehr des Tumors.

@ Die Stimme,
es gibt keinen Grund zum pessimissmus.Alles läuft nach Plan.
Es gibt bisher keine schlechten Ergebnisse beim TK-1 Test.
Die Firma hat bereits vor Monaten darauf hingewiesen das es
mindestens Ende 2001 wird bis der Test anläuft.
Sollte er auf den Markt kommen bzw.alle 3 ist der Test schon aufgrund
des günstigen Preises konkurrenzlos.
Also noch ein paar Monate Geduld.

Key holders of BioPulse file to sell
By Penni Crabtree
STAFF WRITER
October 31, 2001
Amid new warnings about financial problems, major shareholders in the
company that operates a controversial Tijuana clinic told federal regulators
they may try to sell a large portion of their holdings.
BioPulse International, which has offices in Chula Vista, filed a registration
statement late Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
behalf of 11 shareholders who propose to sell 45 million shares "as soon as
practicable from time to time."
The shareholders, not the company, will receive proceeds if the sales
occur. BioPulse`s over-the-counter stock, which traded for as much as $12
in December, closed yesterday at 13 cents.
The proposed stock sale comes at a difficult time for the company, whose
unproven alternative cancer treatments drew the attention of U.S. and
Mexican authorities earlier this year.
In February, Baja California health officials ordered BioPulse to cease
providing desperately ill cancer patients with some alternative therapies,
including insulin-induced comas and cancer "vaccines" derived from
human urine.
Baja authorities said BioPulse had not filed for permits to provide
alternative therapies or conduct experimental research on patients. Many
in the established medical community dismiss the treatments as ineffective
and dangerous.
BioPulse also learned in February that the Federal Trade Commission had
started an inquiry into its advertising practices -- including whether it
could prove the claims of success it made for its treatments.
Since then, BioPulse`s stock has lost most of its value and the clinic --
which provides 90 percent of BioPulse`s revenue -- most of its patients.
In its SEC filing, BioPulse offered a bleak picture for potential investors.
The company said it has reduced its staff to officers and directors "whom
we are not able to pay on a regular basis," and that BioPulse is "having
difficulty generating revenues."
Revenue for the quarter ended April 30, the last period that BioPulse
reported, was $265,360, compared with $1.1 million the same period a year
ago.
The regulatory climate in Mexico and uncertainty about the future of its
therapies and products "raises a substantial possibility of our being
unable to continue as a going concern," according to the filing.
Under Mexican law, the only way a clinic can offer many alternative
therapies is through a research license granted by Mexico`s federal health
department. The clinics must submit a detailed protocol detailing their
investigation, and they can`t charge patients to take part in the research
studies.
But corruption and a laissez-faire attitude toward enforcing the law have
allowed alternative clinics to operate for decades. Only recently have
Mexico`s health officials cracked down on illegal clinics, forcing them to
seek research permits or face closure.
In BioPulse`s SEC filing, it outlined some business strategies that still
appear to contradict Mexico`s health-care regulations -- posing a potential
for new problems.
BioPulse said in its filing that it was notified Oct. 17 that Mexican
authorities had approved licenses that allow the company to treat patients
with three alternative therapies, including a controversial insulin treatment.
A fourth license, to provide cancer vaccines, was approved provisionally,
pending a six-month review, the company said.
The company also said in its filing that it will charge patients "on a
fee-for-service" basis to take part in BioPulse`s "clinical studies" in
Tijuana.
BioPulse officials did not return telephone calls.
Dr. Alfredo Gruel Culebro, who oversees clinics and hospitals for the Baja
California Health Department, said yesterday that BioPulse has not yet
been approved for any license to provide alternative therapies.
He said the company will likely win permission to offer chelation therapy
and enemas, the latter because "while not effective, it isn`t considered very
dangerous," Gruel said.
Gruel said BioPulse requested a license to use insulin in conjunction with
chemotherapy, but not in a way intended to induce a coma, Gruel said. If
the protocol for the study is approved, BioPulse will not be allowed to
charge patients for it, he said.
A license to offer cancer vaccines also has not been approved, nor can the
company charge patients for it, Gruel said.
"If it is proven that they are charging patients, the protocol will be
suspended," said Gruel.

BIOPULSE INTERNATIONAL INC/ (BIOP.OB)
Quarterly Report (SEC form 10QSB)
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management`s Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion contains comments about the financial condition of BioPulse International, Inc. for the Quarter Ended October 31, 2001.
Overview
Since inception in January 1999, we have been refining our operations and developing our market. We have advertised in periodicals targeting potential patients, rented
booths at trade shows, and sought to develop a good reputation through positive results and satisfied patients. We have introduced new treatments for our patients and
expanded our market.
From January 1999 we have managed Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, through a management contract with a physician licensed in Mexico. We were entitled to all
revenues and are responsible for all expenses of the clinic. More than 90% of our operating revenues and expenses and profits were generated by the Mexican
operations.
During 2001, the Mexican government revamped its oversight of medical clinics subject to its jurisdiction. It sent new health department inspectors to review the
operations and permits of many clinics in Tijuana, Mexico. This led to the closure of several clinics there. Clinica BioPulso also was inspected. The inspectors determined
that while the clinic personnel were properly qualified, they had not submitted all of their protocols for government review. On February 15, 2001, one treatment room
was closed pending review of the protocols. The clinic submitted applications for licenses for four protocols (insulin hypoglycemic therapy, chelation, colonic treatments,
and dendrytic cell therapies) in May 2001. On May 9, 2001, the Instituto de Servicios de Salud Publica Del Estado De Baja California (the Mexican health authorities)
reopened the treatment room. As a result of the new policy, the clinic decided not to seek new patients until all the necessary protocols had been approved. Approval of
these permits are still pending.
Prior acquiring TK-1 technology in December, 2000, we have not incurred material research and development expenses outside of the treatment of patients at the clinic
in Tijuana, Mexico. We conducted research and development using data from records of the patients treated at the clinic in Mexico to determine the effectiveness of the
treatments. Additionally, we are working with the doctors who are modifying the treatments based on the data received from the treatment of patients. This limited
research and development has been integrated into the patient care given to paying patients, and we have not had any material research and development costs to date
that were distinguishable from patient care. All costs of patient care have been expensed in the period in which they were incurred. We paid $100,000 for the TK-1
technology that is not refundable should we not be able to develop a marketable product. This $100,000 has been expenses as research and development expenses plus
the costs incurred to develop TK-1 into a marketable product.
During 2000, we had an outpatient clinic at our office in Utah. The revenues and expenses generated by this clinic were not material, and the clinic no longer has any
ongoing patient care operations.
Revenues
The clinic produced almost no revenue during the quarter ended October 31, 2001, down from 1,569,680 from clinic operations for same period last year. This is due to
our not accepting new cancer patients after being informed that we need additional permits from the Mexican government to offer the treatments that had bee previously
offered as discussed above.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales was $4,773 for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 down from $398,359 from the same period last year. This is due to the almost total loss of patients at
the clinic. General and Administrative expenses were $628,600 for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 down from $679,803 for the same period last year. Most of the
general and administrative expenses are fixed costs that are not controllable in the short run. One primary fixed cost is rent of the clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. The clinic
rent is $42,000 per month and $329,000 is due as of October 31, 2001 and is included in accounts payable. The landlord is working with us to resume operations and it is
in his best interest to not evict us. The lease was renegotiated in February 2001. Prior to the renegotiation, rent was charged on patient rooms as they were used and
were a cost of sales. After the renegotiation, rent on the whole facility was charged as a fixed amount regardless of occupancy; thus rent on patient rooms became a
fixed or general and administrative expense. The fixed rent increased $ 31,000 per month in February 2001. Staff salaries were reduced in the quarter ended October 31,
2001 by approximately 50,000 over the same period in the prior year.
Significant Elements of Income or Loss That Do Not Arise From Continuing Operations
There were no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from continuing operations.
Liquidity
As of October 31, 2001, the Company had current assets of $327,238 and current liabilities of $1,083,064. Clinic operations had been generating near breakeven cash
flow through January 2001 but due to the change in the regulatory
climate in Mexico and resulting decrease in the number of patients that have been treated at the clinic, the clinic has generated net negative cash flow since January
2001. We have used most of our cash resources as of October 31, 2001 and have laid off most of our administrative personnel and the Mexican clinic has laid off most
of it personnel until operations resume. The officers have continued to work and their salaries have accrued but have not been paid during October and November. As of
October 31, 2001, we have approximately $250,000 in cash in escrow with Brigham Young University and expect to be able to access $150,000 of that. That would leave
more than enough to pay for the expected costs to complete development of the TK-1 diagnostic test. As of October 1, 2001 we are in default on our loan of $500,000
with Hunts Drive Ltd. That loan was secured by the 2,093,400 shares of stock owned by Loran Swensen and Johathan Neville, Officers and Directors of the company.
We expect to be able to reopen the clinic in Tijuana under a new agreement with the doctors where they would use our equipment and facility and would pay us a flat
fee for that and consulting services
We believe that cash flow from the operations of the Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, will be positive in the foreseeable future.
Seasonal Aspects
We have experienced lower patient occupancy during late fall and early winter months than during other times of the year. Although there may be other reasons for this,
our treatments are elective treatments, and typically, patients may choose to not seek these treatments during holiday seasons, preferring instead to seek treatment at
other times of the year.
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures and Capital Resources
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures. BioPulse has committed to develop the ELISA kit for the TK-1 diagnostic technology that was acquired
from Brigham Young University. This is expected to cost less than $50,000.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management`s Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion contains comments about the financial condition of BioPulse International, Inc. for the Quarter Ended October 31, 2001.
Overview
Since inception in January 1999, we have been refining our operations and developing our market. We have advertised in periodicals targeting potential patients, rented
booths at trade shows, and sought to develop a good reputation through positive results and satisfied patients. We have introduced new treatments for our patients and
expanded our market.
From January 1999 we have managed Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, through a management contract with a physician licensed in Mexico. We were entitled to all
revenues and are responsible for all expenses of the clinic. More than 90% of our operating revenues and expenses and profits were generated by the Mexican
operations.
During 2001, the Mexican government revamped its oversight of medical clinics subject to its jurisdiction. It sent new health department inspectors to review the
operations and permits of many clinics in Tijuana, Mexico. This led to the closure of several clinics there. Clinica BioPulso also was inspected. The inspectors determined
that while the clinic personnel were properly qualified, they had not submitted all of their protocols for government review. On February 15, 2001, one treatment room
was closed pending review of the protocols. The clinic submitted applications for licenses for four protocols (insulin hypoglycemic therapy, chelation, colonic treatments,
and dendrytic cell therapies) in May 2001. On May 9, 2001, the Instituto de Servicios de Salud Publica Del Estado De Baja California (the Mexican health authorities)
reopened the treatment room. As a result of the new policy, the clinic decided not to seek new patients until all the necessary protocols had been approved. Approval of
these permits are still pending.
Prior acquiring TK-1 technology in December, 2000, we have not incurred material research and development expenses outside of the treatment of patients at the clinic
in Tijuana, Mexico. We conducted research and development using data from records of the patients treated at the clinic in Mexico to determine the effectiveness of the
treatments. Additionally, we are working with the doctors who are modifying the treatments based on the data received from the treatment of patients. This limited
research and development has been integrated into the patient care given to paying patients, and we have not had any material research and development costs to date
that were distinguishable from patient care. All costs of patient care have been expensed in the period in which they were incurred. We paid $100,000 for the TK-1
technology that is not refundable should we not be able to develop a marketable product. This $100,000 has been expenses as research and development expenses plus
the costs incurred to develop TK-1 into a marketable product.
During 2000, we had an outpatient clinic at our office in Utah. The revenues and expenses generated by this clinic were not material, and the clinic no longer has any
ongoing patient care operations.
Revenues
The clinic produced almost no revenue during the quarter ended October 31, 2001, down from 1,569,680 from clinic operations for same period last year. This is due to
our not accepting new cancer patients after being informed that we need additional permits from the Mexican government to offer the treatments that had bee previously
offered as discussed above.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales was $4,773 for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 down from $398,359 from the same period last year. This is due to the almost total loss of patients at
the clinic. General and Administrative expenses were $628,600 for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 down from $679,803 for the same period last year. Most of the
general and administrative expenses are fixed costs that are not controllable in the short run. One primary fixed cost is rent of the clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. The clinic
rent is $42,000 per month and $329,000 is due as of October 31, 2001 and is included in accounts payable. The landlord is working with us to resume operations and it is
in his best interest to not evict us. The lease was renegotiated in February 2001. Prior to the renegotiation, rent was charged on patient rooms as they were used and
were a cost of sales. After the renegotiation, rent on the whole facility was charged as a fixed amount regardless of occupancy; thus rent on patient rooms became a
fixed or general and administrative expense. The fixed rent increased $ 31,000 per month in February 2001. Staff salaries were reduced in the quarter ended October 31,
2001 by approximately 50,000 over the same period in the prior year.
Significant Elements of Income or Loss That Do Not Arise From Continuing Operations
There were no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from continuing operations.
Liquidity
As of October 31, 2001, the Company had current assets of $327,238 and current liabilities of $1,083,064. Clinic operations had been generating near breakeven cash
flow through January 2001 but due to the change in the regulatory
climate in Mexico and resulting decrease in the number of patients that have been treated at the clinic, the clinic has generated net negative cash flow since January
2001. We have used most of our cash resources as of October 31, 2001 and have laid off most of our administrative personnel and the Mexican clinic has laid off most
of it personnel until operations resume. The officers have continued to work and their salaries have accrued but have not been paid during October and November. As of
October 31, 2001, we have approximately $250,000 in cash in escrow with Brigham Young University and expect to be able to access $150,000 of that. That would leave
more than enough to pay for the expected costs to complete development of the TK-1 diagnostic test. As of October 1, 2001 we are in default on our loan of $500,000
with Hunts Drive Ltd. That loan was secured by the 2,093,400 shares of stock owned by Loran Swensen and Johathan Neville, Officers and Directors of the company.
We expect to be able to reopen the clinic in Tijuana under a new agreement with the doctors where they would use our equipment and facility and would pay us a flat
fee for that and consulting services
We believe that cash flow from the operations of the Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, will be positive in the foreseeable future.
Seasonal Aspects
We have experienced lower patient occupancy during late fall and early winter months than during other times of the year. Although there may be other reasons for this,
our treatments are elective treatments, and typically, patients may choose to not seek these treatments during holiday seasons, preferring instead to seek treatment at
other times of the year.
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures and Capital Resources
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures. BioPulse has committed to develop the ELISA kit for the TK-1 diagnostic technology that was acquired
from Brigham Young University. This is expected to cost less than $50,000.

Biopulse International, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Organization
Biopulse International, Inc. (BioPulse) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 13,1984 originally under the name of Universal Financial Capital Corp (UFC).
UFC changed its name in September 1985 to International Sensor Technologies, Inc.(IST). IST incurred heavy losses and no revenue from operations and thereafter
experienced five years of inactivity. On January 12, 1999, IST changed its name to BioPulse International, Inc. when it acquired BioPulse, Inc. BioPulse is in the
business of managing integrated medical clinics, and medical research programs.
BioPulse issued 4,000,000 common shares in exchange for 100 percent of the outstanding stock of Biopulse Inc., a Utah corporation organized June 4, 1998. The share
exchange with Biopulse, Inc. was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (recapitalization), therefore all historical financial information is that of the accounting survivor
Biopulse, Inc.
The Company also paid $100,000 to an officer/director of the Company for accounting, legal and organization expenses to recapitalize the Company. This was recorded
as general and administrative expense during the year ended July 31, 1999.
b. Recognition of Revenue
The Company recognizes income and expense on the accrual basis of accounting. Patients are generally charged a flat fee for treatment for a specified period of time
and recorded as unearned revenue. Revenue from services to patients is recognized as services are performed. Patients who do not complete the entire treatment
schedule are refunded fees prorated on a daily basis.
Patient recruitment fees, consulting fees and provision of equipment for other non-affiliated clinics are recognized as revenue when services have been rendered,
equipment installed and no right of return of fees exists.
c. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
BioPulse considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
F-5
Biopulse International, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e. Provision for Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately 6,000,000 that will be offset against future taxable
income pursuant to limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. These NOL carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2000. No tax benefit has been reported in the
financial statements because BioPulse believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforward will expire unused, and are limited pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code. The loss from the year ended July 31, 1999 can be used to offset income for the period ended October 31, 2000. Accordingly, no tax provision has been recorded.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account is as follows at October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000:
October 31, 2001 October 31, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Deferred tax asset:
NOL carrryforward $ 2,000,000 $ 700,000
Valuation allowance (2,000,000) (700,000)
------------------ ------------------
Total $ - $ -
================== ==================
f. Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements include the books of Biopulse International, Inc and its wholly owned subsidiary Biopulse, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in the consolidation.
h. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. In
these financial statements, assets, liabilities and expenses involve extensive reliance on management`s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i. Accounts Receivable Allowance
BioPulse periodically reviews accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts. At October 31, 2000 the allowance was $8,435 and at October 31, 2001 the
allowance was $0, since there were no receivables at October 31, 2001.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
j. Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out basis, and consists primarily of medicine, medical supplies and nutritional supplements.
Direct operating costs consist of direct costs incurred in the providing of care to patients. These costs include the cost of medicine, medical supplies, nutritional
supplements, laboratory fees, patient hotel rooms, patient meals and other direct costs. The salaries of in-house doctors and nurses are included in general and
administrative costs.
k. International Exchange
All fees are charged in U. S. dollars and most expenses are paid in U. S. dollars. Expenses that are paid in a foreign currency are converted into U. S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
l. Research and Development Costs
As an integral part of its patient treatment operations, BioPulse conducts research designed to evaluate the effectiveness of patient treatment. All costs associated with
the patient`s care are expensed in the period that they are incurred. During the year ended July 31,2001, the company licensed TK-1 diagnostic technology from Brigham
Young University. It paid a non refundable fee of $100,000 for right to license this technology. This fee has been expensed as research and development costs along with
the cost the company has paid third party laboratories to develop this technology into a marketable product.
NOTE 2 - Property and Equipment
BioPulse capitalizes purchases of equipment with a useful life of more than one year. BioPulse also capitalizes improvements and costs that increases the value of or
extend the life of an asset.
Capitalized assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements, three to five
years for autos, medical and computer equipment) on the straight line basis.

NOTE 3 - Intangible Assets
BioPulse capitalized as intangible assets the purchase cost of the rights to certain technologies acquired from Aidan Inc. in August 2000. These assets are amortized over
their estimated useful life or the life of related patents whichever is shorter. BioPulse does not expect the technology to become obsolete during the 17 year useful life of
the patents. The technology and licenses acquired cover the world except for experimental use in the United States.
Intangible assets consist of the following at October 31, 2001:
Intangible Assets $ 700,000

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Organization
Biopulse International, Inc. (BioPulse) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 13,1984 originally under the name of Universal Financial Capital Corp (UFC).
UFC changed its name in September 1985 to International Sensor Technologies, Inc.(IST). IST incurred heavy losses and no revenue from operations and thereafter
experienced five years of inactivity. On January 12, 1999, IST changed its name to BioPulse International, Inc. when it acquired BioPulse, Inc. BioPulse is in the
business of managing integrated medical clinics, and medical research programs.
BioPulse issued 4,000,000 common shares in exchange for 100 percent of the outstanding stock of Biopulse Inc., a Utah corporation organized June 4, 1998. The share
exchange with Biopulse, Inc. was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (recapitalization), therefore all historical financial information is that of the accounting survivor
Biopulse, Inc.
The Company also paid $100,000 to an officer/director of the Company for accounting, legal and organization expenses to recapitalize the Company. This was recorded
as general and administrative expense during the year ended July 31, 1999.
b. Recognition of Revenue
The Company recognizes income and expense on the accrual basis of accounting. Patients are generally charged a flat fee for treatment for a specified period of time
and recorded as unearned revenue. Revenue from services to patients is recognized as services are performed. Patients who do not complete the entire treatment
schedule are refunded fees prorated on a daily basis.
Patient recruitment fees, consulting fees and provision of equipment for other non-affiliated clinics are recognized as revenue when services have been rendered,
equipment installed and no right of return of fees exists.
c. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
BioPulse considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Biopulse International, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
e. Provision for Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately 6,000,000 that will be offset against future taxable
income pursuant to limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. These NOL carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2000. No tax benefit has been reported in the
financial statements because BioPulse believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforward will expire unused, and are limited pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code. The loss from the year ended July 31, 1999 can be used to offset income for the period ended October 31, 2000. Accordingly, no tax provision has been recorded.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account is as follows at October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000:
October 31, 2001 October 31, 2000

================== ==================
f. Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements include the books of Biopulse International, Inc and its wholly owned subsidiary Biopulse, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in the consolidation.
h. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. In
these financial statements, assets, liabilities and expenses involve extensive reliance on management`s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i. Accounts Receivable Allowance
BioPulse periodically reviews accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts. At October 31, 2000 the allowance was $8,435 and at October 31, 2001 the
allowance was $0, since there were no receivables at October 31, 2001.

j. Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out basis, and consists primarily of medicine, medical supplies and nutritional supplements.
Direct operating costs consist of direct costs incurred in the providing of care to patients. These costs include the cost of medicine, medical supplies, nutritional
supplements, laboratory fees, patient hotel rooms, patient meals and other direct costs. The salaries of in-house doctors and nurses are included in general and
administrative costs.
k. International Exchange
All fees are charged in U. S. dollars and most expenses are paid in U. S. dollars. Expenses that are paid in a foreign currency are converted into U. S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
l. Research and Development Costs
As an integral part of its patient treatment operations, BioPulse conducts research designed to evaluate the effectiveness of patient treatment. All costs associated with
the patient`s care are expensed in the period that they are incurred. During the year ended July 31,2001, the company licensed TK-1 diagnostic technology from Brigham
Young University. It paid a non refundable fee of $100,000 for right to license this technology. This fee has been expensed as research and development costs along with
the cost the company has paid third party laboratories to develop this technology into a marketable product.
NOTE 2 - Property and Equipment
BioPulse capitalizes purchases of equipment with a useful life of more than one year. BioPulse also capitalizes improvements and costs that increases the value of or
extend the life of an asset.
Capitalized assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements, three to five
years for autos, medical and computer equipment) on the straight line basis.

Hello X,
All of the money for the development of TK1 is in a secure escrow account.
Unfortunately, the contract research laboratory conducting the developmental
work has run into obstacles. They keep telling us that they will be
finished, for example: 2nd Quarter 2001, 3rd Quarter 2001, 4th Quarter 2001.
They have lost credibility, from predicting final results. I do not feel it
appropriate to put out press releases until we have real results and dates.
I hope you understand. Also our SEC filings, put out quarterly give a bit of
an update, on TK1 and other parts of BioPulse.

BIOPULSE INTERNATIONAL INC/ (BIOP.OB)
Quarterly Report (SEC form 10QSB)
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management`s Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion contains comments about the financial condition of BioPulse International, Inc. for the Quarter Ended January 31, 2002.
Overview
From January 1999 we have managed Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, through a management contract with a physician licensed in Mexico. We were entitled to all
revenues and are responsible for all expenses of the clinic. More than 90% of our operating revenues and expenses and profits were generated by the Mexican
operations.
During 2001, the Mexican government revamped its oversight of medical clinics subject to its jurisdiction. It sent new health department inspectors to review the
operations and permits of many clinics in Tijuana, Mexico. This led to the closure of several clinics there. Clinica BioPulso also was inspected. The inspectors
determined that while the clinic personnel were properly qualified, they had not submitted all of their protocols for government review. On February 15, 2001, one
treatment room was closed pending review of the protocols. The clinic submitted applications for licenses for four protocols (insulin hypoglycemic therapy, chelation,
colonic treatments, and dendrytic cell therapies) in May 2001. On May 9, 2001, the Instituto de Servicios de Salud Publica Del Estado De Baja California (the Mexican
health authorities) reopened the treatment room. As a result of the new policy, the clinic decided not to seek new cancer patients until all the necessary protocols had
been approved. In January 2002 management closed the clinic because the timing of the approval of the permits was uncertain and it was there were no longer funds
available to keep the clinic open.
Prior acquiring TK-1 technology in December, 2000, we have not incurred material research and development expenses outside of the treatment of patients at the clinic
in Tijuana, Mexico. We conducted research and development using data from records of the patients treated at the clinic in Mexico to determine the effectiveness of the
treatments. Additionally, we are working with the doctors who are modifying the treatments based on the data received from the treatment of patients. This limited
research and development has been integrated into the patient care given to paying patients, and we have not had any material research and development costs to date
that were distinguishable from patient care. All costs of patient care have been expensed in the period in which they were incurred. We paid $100,000 for the TK-1
technology that is not refundable should we not be able to develop a marketable product. This $100,000 has been expenses as research and development expenses plus
the costs incurred to develop TK-1 into a marketable product.
During 2000, we had an outpatient clinic at our office in Utah. The revenues and expenses generated by this clinic were not material, and the clinic no longer has any
ongoing patient care operations.
Revenues
The clinic produced almost no revenue during the quarter ended and six months ended January 31, 2002, down from $ 703,241 and 1,862,921 from clinic operations for
same period last year. This is due to our not accepting new cancer patients after being informed that we need additional permits from the Mexican government to offer
the treatments that had bee previously offered as discussed above.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales was $4,773 for the quarter and six months ended January 31, 2002 down from $ 298,137 and $ 696,496 from the same period last year. This is due to the
almost total loss of patients at the clinic. General and Administrative expenses were $ 466,057 and $ 1,094657 for the quarter and six months ended January 31, 2002
down from $ 5,481,987 and $6,161,790 for the same period last year. Most of the general and administrative expenses for the prior year were for the value of stock
issued for services. Most general and administrative expenses have been eliminated as of January 2002 due to the closing of the clinic in Tijuana Mexico.
Liquidity
As of January 31, 2002, the Company very little cash and is
looking to sell its clinic equipment and sublicense some of its intellectual
property. Most of the employees of Biopulse have been laid off and the remaining
two employees are working for deferred salaries. These salaries are accrued as a
liability on the financial statements. There are talks with a potential buyer of
the equipment and licensee of the TK-1 technology that if the sale is completed
would be sufficient to pay the accounts payable and accrued expenses. As of
October 1, 2001 we are in default on our loan of $500,000 with Hunts Drive Ltd.
That loan was secured by the 2,093,400 shares of stock owned by Loran Swensen
and Johathan Neville, Officers and Directors of the company.

None
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures and Capital Resources
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures. BioPulse has committed to develop the ELISA kit for the TK-1 diagnostic technology that was acquired
from Brigham Young University. This is expected to cost less than $50,000.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management`s Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion contains comments about the financial condition of BioPulse International, Inc. for the Quarter Ended January 31, 2002.
Overview
From January 1999 we have managed Clinica BioPulso in Tijuana, Mexico, through a management contract with a physician licensed in Mexico. We were entitled to all
revenues and are responsible for all expenses of the clinic. More than 90% of our operating revenues and expenses and profits were generated by the Mexican
operations.
During 2001, the Mexican government revamped its oversight of medical clinics subject to its jurisdiction. It sent new health department inspectors to review the
operations and permits of many clinics in Tijuana, Mexico. This led to the closure of several clinics there. Clinica BioPulso also was inspected. The inspectors
determined that while the clinic personnel were properly qualified, they had not submitted all of their protocols for government review. On February 15, 2001, one
treatment room was closed pending review of the protocols. The clinic submitted applications for licenses for four protocols (insulin hypoglycemic therapy, chelation,
colonic treatments, and dendrytic cell therapies) in May 2001. On May 9, 2001, the Instituto de Servicios de Salud Publica Del Estado De Baja California (the Mexican
health authorities) reopened the treatment room. As a result of the new policy, the clinic decided not to seek new cancer patients until all the necessary protocols had
been approved. In January 2002 management closed the clinic because the timing of the approval of the permits was uncertain and it was there were no longer funds
available to keep the clinic open.
Prior acquiring TK-1 technology in December, 2000, we have not incurred material research and development expenses outside of the treatment of patients at the clinic
in Tijuana, Mexico. We conducted research and development using data from records of the patients treated at the clinic in Mexico to determine the effectiveness of the
treatments. Additionally, we are working with the doctors who are modifying the treatments based on the data received from the treatment of patients. This limited
research and development has been integrated into the patient care given to paying patients, and we have not had any material research and development costs to date
that were distinguishable from patient care. All costs of patient care have been expensed in the period in which they were incurred. We paid $100,000 for the TK-1
technology that is not refundable should we not be able to develop a marketable product. This $100,000 has been expenses as research and development expenses plus
the costs incurred to develop TK-1 into a marketable product.
During 2000, we had an outpatient clinic at our office in Utah. The revenues and expenses generated by this clinic were not material, and the clinic no longer has any
ongoing patient care operations.
Revenues
The clinic produced almost no revenue during the quarter ended and six months ended January 31, 2002, down from $ 703,241 and 1,862,921 from clinic operations for
same period last year. This is due to our not accepting new cancer patients after being informed that we need additional permits from the Mexican government to offer
the treatments that had bee previously offered as discussed above.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales was $4,773 for the quarter and six months ended January 31, 2002 down from $ 298,137 and $ 696,496 from the same period last year. This is due to the
almost total loss of patients at the clinic. General and Administrative expenses were $ 466,057 and $ 1,094657 for the quarter and six months ended January 31, 2002
down from $ 5,481,987 and $6,161,790 for the same period last year. Most of the general and administrative expenses for the prior year were for the value of stock
issued for services. Most general and administrative expenses have been eliminated as of January 2002 due to the closing of the clinic in Tijuana Mexico.
Liquidity
As of January 31, 2002, the Company very little cash and is
looking to sell its clinic equipment and sublicense some of its intellectual
property. Most of the employees of Biopulse have been laid off and the remaining

@Bombenleger,
Heißt soviel wie "Aus die MAus", oder?
Will Biopulse den Krebstest garnicht weiterentwickeln, sondern die Lizenz entwickeln?

California companies settle federal charges alleging they sold unproven cancer treatments
WASHINGTON, Jul 24, 2002 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Two California companies that touted insulin injections
and "acoustic lightwave therapy" as cancer treatments have settled federal charges that they lacked proof their methods
worked and were safe.
BioPulse International Inc. and BioPulse Inc., based in San Ysidro near the Mexican border, are now barred from making
unsupported claims or misrepresenting the safety of treatments, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday. The
companies treat patients at a Tijuana, Mexico clinic.
The settlement also contains a suspended fine of dlrs 4.3 million, which is due in full if the companies are found to have
misrepresented their ability to pay, the FTC said. By settling, the companies do not admit to breaking any law.
Calls to the companies and their officers seeking comment were not immediately returned Wednesday.
The FTC`s complaint said the companies marketed two "alternative" therapies to treat numerous serious diseases, including
cancer.
According to the government complaint, one BioPulse ad said: "At the BioPulse clinic in Tijuana, patients have seen tumors
decrease substantially or even disappear from the brain, lung, bone, prostate, liver and breast."
BioPulse`s "insulin-induced hypoglycemic sleep therapy" involved injecting insulin into cancer patients to starve cancer tumors
and "cleanse the body through sweating," the FTC said. A seven-week treatment cost up to dlrs 39,900.
The acoustic lightwave therapy allegedly worked by shining special lights on patients to destroy cells or organisms that caused
arthritis, diabetes, flu, headaches, parasites, lyme disease, pneumonia, and some cancers.
"We asked them to substantiate their claims, to show us these therapies worked and they didn`t give us sufficient proof," said
Laura Fremont, an FTC attorney.
The FTC said the company allegedly also made unsupported safety claims about the insulin therapy.
The complaint and proposed settlement were filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
