In addition, all documents subsequently filed by Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered under this Registration Statement have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Item 4. Description of Securities Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel Counsel for Registrant, Reicker, Clough, Pfau & Pyle LLP, has rendered an opinion to the effect that Registrant's shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon issuance. Bruce W. McRoy, is a partner in the firm of Reicker Clough, Pfau & Pyle LLP. Mr. McRoy owns 1,000 shares of Registrant's Common Stock. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers The Board of Directors of Registrant has resolved to indemnify the officers and director of Registrant to the full extent permitted by Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law, and Article VI of Registrant's Bylaws provides for indemnification of officers and directors to the same extent. Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. On January 27, 1988, Registrant's Board of Directors approved amendments to Registrant's Articles of Incorporation providing for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted under California law. These amendments limit the personal monetary liability of directors in performing their duties on behalf of Registrant, to the extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law, and permit Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses, to the extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law. These amendments and the entering into of indemnification agreements were approved by Registrant's stockholders at the annual stockholders' meeting held on March 30, 1988. In addition, Registrant maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy that insures its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 9. Undertakings (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (a) To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the California General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of Registrant, Indemnification Agreements entered into between Registrant and its officers and directors, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Delivery. In order to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company at its principal office (a) a written notice, substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto, of such Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b), subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, a certified or bank cashier's check or checks payable to the Company, in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Common Stock being purchased, and (c) this Warrant.

Such certificate(s) shall be deemed to have been issued and such Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares as of the date of said notice. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of such stock certificate or certificates, deliver to such Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of such Holder to purchase the remaining shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. 3.3. Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of stock certificates under this Warrant, except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes which shall be payable upon the issuance of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Holder at the time of the delivery of the notice of exercise mentioned above. 3.4.

In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall consolidate as a whole, by reclassification or otherwise, the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, with or without par value, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be increased proportionately and the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder shall be reduced proportionately. 4.2. Merger or Consolidation. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Warrant, in case the Company shall enter into any agreement (a) for the consolidation with or merger of the Company into any other corporation wherein (i) the Company is not the surviving corporation or (ii) the Company is the surviving corporation but the transaction is effected as a reverse triangular merger, a downstream merger, or a similar transaction as a result of which the other corporation, or its shareholders, acquire control of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company, or (b) for the sale of 80% or more of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, or (c) for the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, and in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, shares of stock or other securities or property shall be issuable or deliverable in exchange for the Common Stock of the Company, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant (in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have been entitled to purchase immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance) the shares of stock or other securities or property to which such number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, at an aggregate purchase price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price which would have been payable if such number of shares of Common Stock had been purchased immediately prior thereto. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant, to the end that all the provisions of this Warrant (including the adjustment provisions) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities or property. 4.3.

In case of any such reorganization or recapitalization, appropriate provision (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant, to the end that all of the provisions of this Warrant (including the adjustment provisions) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities or property. 4.4.

Such statement shall be filed among the permanent records of the Company and a copy thereof shall be furnished to the Holder of this Warrant and shall at all reasonable times during business hours be open to inspection by the Holder of the Warrant. The Company shall promptly cause a copy of such notice to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Holder of record of this Warrant. 5. Reservation of Stock. 5.1. Reservation. The Company covenants that it will reserve and set apart and have at all times a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or other stock or securities deliverable pursuant to this Warrant, sufficient to enable the Company at any time to fulfill all of its obligations under this Warrant. The Company covenants that, at any time when the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 5.2. Approvals. The Company covenants that if any shares of Common Stock, or other stock or securities, required to be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under federal or state law, before such shares may be validly issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved. 6. Company's Right of Acceleration. 6.1. Right to Accelerate. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, (a) if the Company or the shareholders of the Company enter into a bona fide agreement (i) for the consolidation with or merger of the Company into any other corporation wherein (A) the Company is not the surviving corporation or (B) the Company is the surviving corporation but the transaction is effected as a reverse triangular merger, a downstream merger, or a similar transaction as a result of which the other company, or its shareholders, acquire control of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company, or (ii) for the sale of 80% or more of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, or (iii) the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets and (b) as a condition of the consummation of any such agreement the surviving corporation, or the disappearing corporation which is not the Company, or the purchaser(s) of the capital stock or assets, require that this Warrant either be exercised or canceled prior to the consummation of such agreement, then the Company shall have the right to give the Holder notice of such condition and demand that the Holder deliver to the Company within thirty (30) days after the Company's delivery of such notice written notice of (I) the Holder's exercise in full of this Warrant, or (II) the Holder's consent to the cancellation of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 6, or (III) the Holder's exercise in part of this Warrant and consent to the cancellation of the unexercised portion of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 6. 6.2. Consideration. In full consideration for the Holder's cancellation of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 6, the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) if this Warrant is canceled in full, or the applicable proportionate amount thereof if this Warrant is canceled in part. 6.3. Net Issue Exercise. 6.3.1. If the Company has the right to accelerate the exercise of the Warrant under this Section 6.1, and the value of the per share consideration that would be received by the Holder in the transaction described in Section 6.1, above, if this Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to the closing of such transaction, is less than Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the then Exercise Price of the Warrant, then the Holder may exercise the Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3.2. If Holder elects to exercise the Warrant under Section 6.3, the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula: X = (Y)(A-B) A Where X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder Y = The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant A = The value of the consideration that would be received in the Section 6.1 transaction B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of the Section 6.1 transaction) 6.3.3. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith the value of the per share consideration that would be received by the Holder in the Section 6.1 transaction, which determination shall be conclusive for all purposes. 6.4. Power of Attorney. If the Holder does not deliver any such written notice to the Company within such 30-day period, for all purposes the Holder shall be conclusively deemed to have consented to the cancellation of this Warrant in full and to the appointment of the President of the Company as the Holder's attorney-in-fact, with right of substitution, for the sole purpose of effecting such cancellation. The President of the Company, if appointed attorney-in-fact for the Holder of this Warrant pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence, may effect the cancellation of this Warrant or the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant by delivery to the Holder of this Warrant of payment in cash of the full consideration for the cancellation of this Warrant and this Warrant shall be canceled for all purposes upon delivery of such consideration to the Holder hereof and the consummation of the transaction with respect to which notice was given to the Holder hereof. The Holder of this Warrant acknowledges that the grant of the foregoing power-of-attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death or disability of the Holder. 6.5. Termination. If the transaction contemplated by any agreement described in Section 6.1 hereof and entered into by the Company or the shareholders of the Company is not consummated or the parties abandon any such agreement, the Company shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of such event, the notice previously given by the Company with respect to such agreement shall be canceled, and the Holder of this Warrant shall have no further obligation to exercise or cancel this Warrant by reason of the notice from the Company; provided that the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the cancellation of any notice from the Company and shall apply to any subsequent agreement entered into by the Company or the shareholders of the Company to the same extent as if they had not entered into any prior agreement. 7. Notices. 7.1. Notice Events. In case the Company proposes: (a) to pay any dividend upon any class of its stock which is payable in stock (of any class or classes) or to make any distribution to the Holders of any class of its stock; or (b) to issue or grant any rights or options with respect to the Common Stock; or (c) to effect any capital reorganization or reclassification of capital stock of the Company; or (d) to consolidate with, or merge into, any other corporation or to transfer its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or (e) to convey, sell or distribute all or substantially all of its assets or to divide the business or ownership of the Company; or (f) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall cause notice of such intended action to be given to the Holder of this Warrant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the transfer books of the Company shall close or a record be taken for such stock dividend, distribution, issuance or grant, or the date when such issuance, grant, capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be effective, as the case may be. 7.2 Addresses.

No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. 10. Assignment. The Holder of this Warrant may not assign all or any portion of his right, title and interest under this Warrant to any person without receiving the Company's prior, written approval. 11.
