ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

         On March 9, 2004, Neoprobe Corporation (the "Company") issued a press
release regarding its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and
for the full year that ended December 31, 2003. A copy of the Company's press
release is furnished as Exhibit 99(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.

         The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the
exhibits hereto, shall not be treated as "filed" for purposes of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         Statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Current
Report on Form 8-K which relate to other than strictly historical facts, such as
statements about the Company's plans and strategies, expectations for future
financial performance, new and existing products and technologies, and markets
for the Company's products, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Investors are
cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results due
to many factors including, but not limited to, the Company's continuing
operating losses, uncertainty of market acceptance, reliance on third party
manufacturers, accumulated deficit, future capital needs, uncertainty of capital
funding, dependence on limited product line and distribution channels,
competition, limited marketing and manufacturing experience, and other risks
detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and other
Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
