SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Innovative Medical Services, Common Stock, and Class 
A Common Stock Purchase Warrants) File No. 1-14468

March 18, 1999.
    Innovative Medical Services (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the Boston 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or ``Exchange'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Notice of this application was previously issued by the 
Commission as Release No. 34-41114 on February 25, 1999. Such 
notice, however, failed to appear in the Federal Register, as 
required, and so is being reissued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Securities of the Company have been listed for trading on the 
BSE and the Nasdaq SmallCap Market since August 8, 1996, pursuant to a 
Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective on said date.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the BSE by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the preambles and resolution adopted 
by the Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Securities from listing on the BSE and by setting forth in detail to 
the Exchange the reasons for the proposed withdrawal and the facts in 
support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its Securities from 
listing on the BSE, the Company considered the direct and indirect 
costs of maintaining dual listings of its Securities on the BSE and the 
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The

[[Page 14293]]

Company does not believe that due to the duplication of expenses of 
continued listing on both Exchanges there is any benefit to continued 
listing on the BSE.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the withdrawal of the Company's Securities from listing on the BSE.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal from 
listing of the Securities from the BSE and shall have no effect upon 
the continued listing of the Securities on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
    Any interested person may, on or before, April 8, 1999, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
