(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports) been filed?  If answer is no, identify report(s).


[ X ]  Yes  [  ]  No


(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

  
 

[ X ]  Yes  [  ]  No

  
 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.


The Registrant anticipates reporting that revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 decreased to $1.1 million from $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2003. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, Spectrum’s revenues decreased to $11.1 million from $13.3 million reported in 2003. The loss of the Gila Bend operations and management contract as of the beginning of the fourth quarter accounted for both the quarter and full-year decrease in revenue.  Spectrum’s 2004 year-end cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments grew to $24,462,053 from $696,959 for year-end 2003.  The company will also report that it is virtually debt-free, having paid down approximately $3,000,000 of various debts during the year.  The Registrant further expects to report operating expenses of $40,564,140, a net operating loss of $40,618,033 and a net loss of $40,328,343 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004.  The change in the results of operations is due primarily to the recording of non-cash consulting expenses in the amount of $32,944,900 related to the issuance of stock options to a non-employee stockholder and certain other expenses in the approximate amount of $4,853,947 incurred during fiscal 2004 which are anticipated to be non-recurring.
