SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 2, 1998 PROSPECTUS 675,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SURREY, INC. Surrey, Inc. is offering to sell up to a maximum of 675,000 shares of Common Stock under this prospectus. The shares of Common Stock offered will be issued upon the exercise of the Surrey Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants. The Warrants were issued as part of the initial public offering in December of 1997. At that time, we agreed to use our best efforts to maintain an effective registration statement relating to the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The Common Stock and Warrants are currently trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market(SM) under the symbol SOAP for the Common Stock and SOAPW for the Warrants. The 675,000 shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus are being offered and sold by Surrey. The shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus will be issued to any Warrant holder upon exercise of any of the Warrants and payment of the Warrant exercise price. The shares of Common Stock will not be issued through an underwriter, dealer or broker. The maximum of 675,000 shares of Common Stock being offered under this prospectus is equal to the number of Warrants sold in our initial public offering. Each Warrant grants the right to purchase one share of Common Stock, which number may increase or decrease as described in this prospectus. The number of shares of Common Stock may increase or decrease if we pay a dividend in Common Stock, undertake a stock split, undertake a reverse stock split, or undertake a reclassification of our Common Stock. In such case, the holder of a Warrant will be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which that holder would have owned if the Warrant holder would have exercised his or her Warrant prior to any of the events described above. THE INVESTORS SHOULD REVIEW THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS ENTITLED "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGE 4.

THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. YOU ARE CAUTIONED THAT ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL EVENTS OR RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS THE RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING THE FACTORS REFERENCED IN SURREY'S DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED WITH THE SEC AND WHICH ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS PROSPECTUS. IN DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO INVEST IN SURREY COMMON STOCK, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS FACTORS: MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH We are currently in the process of and intend to continue the significant expansion of our business over the next several years. The Company currently has a goal to double its production over the next several years through a combination of expanded manufacturing and production capacity, use of additional professional full-time sales personnel, the addition of new products such as a line of high end scented candles and a line of traditional bar soap. In addition, Surrey intends to focus on the growth and promotion of its higher margin products. We recently completed the expansion of our manufacturing, warehousing and office facilities by adding approximately 39,100 square feet, bringing the total size of our facilities to 77,100 square feet. We added 18,100 square feet to our production and manufacturing facilities, 14,900 to our warehousing and storage space and 6,100 to our office space. We also have leased several new pieces of manufacturing equipment and are in the process of adding more manufacturing equipment. We currently expect that this expanded facility will be fully operational in the first quarter of 1999. While we are in the process of implementing our growth strategy, we cannot assure you that the growth strategy will be successful in increasing our net income or share price of Surrey's Common Stock. Success of our growth strategy will depend on our ability to utilize the expanded capacity efficiently to justify the higher costs of maintaining a larger facility, more personnel and manufacturing a broader variety of products. Surrey cannot assure you that it will be able to achieve its goal in the next several years, if at all. Further, growth of Surrey's business will result in increased costs for personnel and systems. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure and maintain the additional management, employees and staffing, or other resources required to support the intended growth of our business. RECENT LOSSES In our report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, we reported a net loss of $67,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, we reported a net loss of $220,000. Our net loss for the quarter and for the first nine months of 1998 was due to a variety of factors including increased sales and marketing expenses, increased labor costs and the increased costs of being a publicly traded company. Our sales and marketing expenses increased as a result of additional personnel that we hired in anticipation of our expanded production capabilities. We believe that the labor cost increases are due to training costs associated with our expansion as well as operating inefficiencies of our existing smaller facilities. We believe that the costs associated with being a publicly traded company will decline as a percentage of net sales. Increasing our net profit will require 4 that we operate our expanded facilities efficiently and we utilize the expanded capacity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our expanded facility efficiently or utilize the expanded capacity. DEPENDENCE ON CUSTOMERS During 1997, Wal-Mart, Surrey's single largest customer, accounted for approximately 34% of net sales, and in 1996, it accounted for 21% of net sales. Based on net sales from the first nine months of 1998 and anticipated sales for the entire year, we anticipate that Wal-Mart will be our single largest customer for 1998 and will account for approximately 25% of net sales. Avon was our second largest customer in 1997, accounting for approximately 7% of net sales, and in 1996, it accounted for approximately 6% of net sales. We believe that Avon and Walgreen's will be the second and third largest customers in 1998. They each will account for less than 10% of net sales. The loss of any major account, especially Wal-Mart, or a decrease in orders from any such customer, could have a material adverse effect on Surrey and its business. We cannot assure you that our largest customers will continue to purchase Surrey's products at the same levels. We recently announced a letter of commitment from Bath & Body Works to purchase approximately 10 million bars of our high quality, transparent glycerin and specialty soap. If the purchase order commitment is fulfilled at expected levels, we anticipate that Bath & Body Works could account for approximately 33% to 50% of net sales in 1999. We cannot assure you that Bath & Body Works will continue to purchase our products at such levels in future years. We have described the purchase order letter of commitment in the section of the prospectus entitled "Recent Developments." CUSTOMER CONTRACTS Surrey's large retail customers, such as Wal-Mart and Walgreen's, usually establish their product order "plan-a-grams" on a 12-month cycle. Once such a plan is in place, it is often not reviewed for such 12 month cycle; however, only the first order under any such plan is guaranteed. We have no standing orders or long-term contracts with any of our retail customers. Any customer can re-order at any time or cancel or replace our product in its 12-month plan without notice to us. Most of Surrey's contract manufacturing customers, such as Elizabeth Arden, Avon and Walt Disney, order on a job-by-job basis only. Such orders are usually cancelable by the customer if not shipped within two weeks of the scheduled shipping date. Unless Surrey is developing a new product for a contract manufacturing customer (a development period may take months or years depending on the product and the customer), Surrey typically ships products within 60 to 90 days after receiving a purchase order. This period may be longer if special packaging or labeling is required by a customer. Individual contract manufacturing clients generally supply their own soap boxes and labeling; therefore, we are not required to carry that inventory on our balance sheet. In addition, many of Surrey's contract manufacturing customers pay for the development and production of the dye stock and molds and, therefore, they, and not Surrey, own such molds and the formulas for their individual products. COMPETITION There is extensive competition in the bar soap manufacturing industry. However, we believe that we currently compete directly with only a small number of manufacturers in the specialty soap market, including Neutrogena, Beiersdorf (Basis), and Johnson and Johnson (Purpose). In addition, 5 many other companies manufacture and/or market a range of personal care products which compete with Surrey's soap and other products. These companies include Bath & Body Works, Twin Craft Soap Company, Original Bradford Soapworks and Stahl Soap. As part of our expansion, we intend to begin manufacturing traditional bar soap. Within the traditional soap market, we will compete directly with many larger manufacturers, such as Proctor & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Unilever and Dial, which are much larger and have greater financial resources than we have. We do not expect to make significant inroads into the traditional bar soap market; rather, we intend to meet the existing demand of our customers for traditional soap. We currently believe that we will experience little competition from the large manufacturers of traditional bar soap in our specialty soap niche market due to the small size of the market. In addition, we believe that it is more expensive to mass produce a high quality glycerin bar soap product. However, we cannot assure you that these larger manufacturers will not compete with Surrey in the future for its products, particularly its liquid soap products. We have recently added a line of high-end scented candles to compliment our potpourri and craft products. The candle industry is highly competitive and dominated by larger manufactures. Most of these larger manufacturers have greater financial resources than Surrey. We believe that we experience most of our competition from companies having a broader variety of product line. We believe we experience a lesser degree of competition based on the price of our products. By adding products such as traditional bar soaps and liquid soaps, potpourris, high end scented candles and crafts, we believe that we will better compete in the marketplace. SEASONALITY We experience seasonal fluctuations in operating results, with sales and revenues generally higher during the third and fourth calendar quarters. Orders shipped in the third and fourth quarters generally account for approximately 60% of the Company's total net sales for the year, due primarily to the holiday retail season. CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT As of the date of this prospectus, John B. van der Hagen, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Mary van der Hagen, Secretary and Director, Martin J. van der Hagen, President, and Mark J. van der Hagen, Vice President - Finance, currently own a total of approximately 46% of the Common Stock. Assuming all the Warrants are exercised, management will own approximately 36% of the Common Stock. These percentages are calculated excluding the exercise of any warrants or options held by management. As a result, management may have the ability to elect the Company's entire Board of Directors and control Surrey, including transactions such as mergers, consolidations and the sale of substantially all of Surrey's assets. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL Surrey's success is dependent on the efforts of its key management personnel. The loss of the services of any such personnel could have a material adverse effect. We currently have employment agreements with our CEO and our President. We do not have life insurance policies payable to us on 6 any key management personnel. We will continue to be dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. PROPRIETARY PROCESSES AND TRADEMARKS Surrey holds no patents on any of its equipment or processes and relies substantially on certain formulas and processes that are not patentable. In addition, much of our proprietary information is the experience and knowledge of our employees, contractors and business partners. We protect such processes through confidentiality agreements with certain contractors, business partners, and distributors; however, Surrey cannot assure you that these agreements will adequately protect our proprietary processes and formulas. Any unauthorized disclosure or use of Surrey's proprietary information could have a material adverse effect on our business operations. We are aware that a company which signed such a confidentiality agreement appears to be using certain trade secrets in violation of their agreement. We do not own any patents on any of our technology. We believe that the trademarks we own on certain product names have significant value and are important to the marketing of our products, but do not consider any individual mark to be material to our operation. Surrey's marks may violate the proprietary rights of others, proprietary rights in the marks have never been challenged and, as a result, Surrey does not know if its rights would withstand such a challenge. In such case, Surrey may be prevented from using its marks which could have an adverse affect on Surrey. Surrey has been unable to register the name Surrey as a trademark due to a prior registration; however, such prior registrant manufactures plastic combs, not soaps. While we believe that our current use of the name is not infringing on the rights of others, Surrey cannot assure you that its use will not ever be challenged. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE; POSSIBLE STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY; NO DIVIDENDS There was no public market for the Common Stock at the time the exercise price of the Warrants was determined. As a result, the exercise price of the Warrants, which is the price one must pay to purchase the shares of Common Stock, was determined by negotiation between the underwriter in the initial public offering and Surrey based upon the general status of the securities market at that time and other relevant factors. The market price for the Common Stock may be highly volatile depending upon various factors, including the general economy, stock market conditions, announcements by us, our vendors or competitors and fluctuation in Surrey's operating results. We currently intend to retain earnings for use in operations and expansion of our business and therefore do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. YEAR 2000 PREPAREDNESS Surrey has reviewed its software driven accounting system and personal computers and has taken action so that its computer and non-information technology systems will function properly with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. The total cost of compliance was approximately $40,000. Surrey has substantially completed its internal Year 2000 compliance. Surrey has not begun an assessment of the year 2000 preparedness of third parties with which it has a material relationship. Surrey cannot assure you that its or its suppliers' year 2000 conversion will be successfully completed. The failure to complete such conversion may have a adverse material affect on Surrey. 7 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this prospectus regarding Surrey's future operations, growth strategy, contract with Bath & Body Works, future performance and results are forward looking and, therefore, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein. In addition, any forward looking information regarding the operations of the Company will be effected by Surrey's ability to effectively manage and operate its facilities as expanded, Surrey's ability to successfully increase its marketing and sales effort in order to take full advantage of its increased production facilities, to successfully perform on the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment, to obtain financing for equipment needed to perform under the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment and continued receipt of large orders from Surrey's significant customers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully and adequately perform the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment, that we will continue to get large orders from significant customers, or that we will be able to maximize the expanded production capabilities. BUSINESS Surrey specializes in the development and manufacture of high quality transparent glycerin and specialty soap products, as well as the production of certain personal care and home fragrance products. Surrey has built four successful retail brands and a strong private label and contract manufacturing business for high-profile customers. Surrey uses a process for manufacturing poured bar soaps that allows us to produce unique and affordable original soap products in large quantities. Surrey also maintains a library of chemical formulations for producing purer, milder and harder glycerin soap bars primarily through the use of synthetic moisturizing ingredients rather than the use of tallow (animal fat). We recently expanded into the crafts market, with soap-making kits and expanded our home fragrance products with the introduction of a full line of potpourri products. As part of our expansion plans, we will manufacture a line of high-end scented candles that will compliment our line of home fragrance products. Surrey is the successor to a venture begun in 1972 to market a brush, mug, and line of shaving soap for men. Management began working to perfect techniques for producing a milder bar soap for its shaving kits, and in 1979 began manufacturing its own soap products and expanding a new library of soap formulations. In the early nineties, Surrey entered the contract manufacturing business and began producing specialty soap products for a variety of premier brand consumer product companies and prestige accounts including Elizabeth Arden, Walt Disney Co., Avon, Ann Taylor, Wal-Mart, and Walgreen's. In 1990, Surrey acquired the assets of Simmer Scents, a line of potpourri home fragrances and began moving into the major craft chains. Surrey markets its products, both directly and through manufacturers' representatives, to a large variety of retail establishments. We also manufacture, on a contract basis, for a variety of private-label customers. The Company's total sales and revenue mix for 1997 were approximately equally divided among: * contract manufacturing products, * potpourri and craft products and * retail soaps and shaving products. 8 In 1998, we anticipate the total sales and revenue mix will be comparable to that of 1997. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Surrey recently received a major purchase order commitment for its high quality transparent glycerin and specialty soap products from Bath & Body Works, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Limited, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange company. Management believes that revenues from such commitment will approximate $6 million. The commitment represents the single largest order received by the Company in its history. The letter of commitment calls for Surrey to deliver to Bath & Body Works ordered products beginning in January 1999 and continuing throughout 1999. The letter of commitment is a letter of intent and Bath & Body Works and Surrey are working toward a more formal arrangement. The letter of commitment is for one year; however, individual purchase orders may be cancelled upon 30 days notice. Bath & Body Works has no commitment to place any order with Surrey after the end of 1999. We cannot assure you that Bath & Body Works will order the entire amount expected for 1999 or will order more product from Surrey after 1999. If Bath & Body Works does not order more products from Surrey after 1999, such loss of revenue will have a material adverse effect on Surrey. We cannot assure you that Bath & body Works will not cancel such letter of commitment. Bath & Body Works is a major retailer of bathroom and bedroom accessories, and operates over 1,100 stores nationwide. The new letter of commitment from Bath & Body Works will require Surrey to lease six additional machines: three high speed wrapping machines and three poured soap lines. We are currently in the process of obtaining such equipment. We currently estimate that the additional machines needed to fulfill our requirements under the new letter of commitment will cost approximately $1,000,000. We have entered into negotiations with Keycorp Leasing, a division of Key Corporate Capital, Inc. ("KCCI") to finance such additional equipment. Our current operating lease with KCCI provides for $1,500,000 lease line of credit to finance equipment. The Company anticipates using approximately $500,000 of the available balance on this lease line of credit to finance such additional equipment. We currently estimate that we will need to expand our lease line of credit by approximately $500,000 to $2,000,000 in total. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing. In addition, we currently anticipate that we will need to expand our warehousing facilities by 14,000 square feet and our soap curing area by 5,000 square feet to fulfill the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment. We have begun negotiations with Chase Bank of Texas, National Association ("Lender") to increase our existing construction/term loan by approximately $500,000 to finance such expansion. The principal amount of such loan is currently $2,300,000. We have also begun negotiations with our Lender to increase our revolving line from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 to finance inventory and other working capital needs relating to the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing from our Lender. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may not be able to adequately perform under the Bath & Body Works letter of commitment. We recently completed an expansion of our manufacturing, warehousing and office facilities by adding approximately 39,100 square feet bringing the total size of our facilities to 77,100 square feet. The cost of constructing the facilities was approximately $1,100,000. We can give you no assurance that we will be able to manage our expanded facility efficiently. 9 USE OF PROCEEDS Assuming all the Warrant holders exercise their Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 675,000 shares of Common Stock, the estimated proceeds received by us will be $3,240,000 before any expenses. The Warrant holders have no obligation to exercise any of the Warrants. We cannot assure you that any of the Warrants will be exercised. Therefore, we cannot predict when or whether we will receive any of the proceeds of this offering. We currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering to repay our current debt, to finance product development, or for general working capital purposes. Depending on the timing of receipt of the proceeds and the business climate, we may use the proceeds from this offering for purposes different than we stated above. We may not update you regarding any changes in our intentions regarding the prospective proceeds of this offering. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Any or all of the Warrants may be exercised at various times by the Warrant holder signing the exercise form attached to the Warrant Agreement and paying to us $4.80 per share of Common Stock being purchased. We have no selling arrangements with any underwriters, brokers, agents or other persons in relation to the sale of these shares of Common Stock. Surrey has agreed, under certain circumstances, to use our best efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, effective until the earlier of (i) December 9, 2002, (ii) the time at which all shares offered have been sold to the Warrant holders or (iii) the time we redeem all the Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement. We may also redeem the Warrants under certain circumstances. We incorporate by reference into this prospectus the terms of the Warrant Agreement. 10 LEGAL MATTERS Certain matters with respect to the legality of the issuance and sale of these shares of Common Stock will be passed upon by Mackall, Crounse & Moore, PLC, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act provides that the Company may indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director or officer only if it is determined in accordance with such article that the person: (1) conducted himself in good faith; (2) reasonably believed: (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests; and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Except to the extent permitted by such article, a director or officer may not be indemnified under this article in respect of a proceeding: (1) in which the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity; or (2) in which the person is found liable to the corporation. A person may be indemnified under such article against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding; but if the person is found liable to the corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person, the indemnification (1) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding and (2) shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. A determination of indemnification under such article must be made: (1) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the proceeding; (2) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all directors, consisting solely of two or 12 more directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the proceeding; (3) by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the board by vote as set forth above in (1) or (2) or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained and such a committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors; and (4) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by directors who are named defendants or respondents in the proceeding. Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses must be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses must be made in the manner specified by Subsection (3) above for the selection of special legal counsel. A provision contained in the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of shareholders or directors, or an agreement that makes mandatory the indemnification permitted under this article shall be deemed to constitute authorization of indemnification in the manner required by this section even though such provision may not have been adopted or authorized in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. A corporation shall indemnify a director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he is a named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under this article. Without limiting the power of the corporation to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or other arrangement, a corporation may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the corporation, (1) create a trust fund; (2) establish any form of self-insurance; (3) secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the corporation; or (4) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangements. The insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained, or established within the corporation or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the board of directors regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other person are owned in whole or part by the corporation. In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the board of directors as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other persons participating in an arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance or arrangement. The articles of incorporation of a corporation may restrict the circumstances under which the corporation is required or permitted to indemnify a person under such article. Provisions regarding indemnification of officers and directors of the Company are contained in Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (Exhibit 3.1 to the registration statement on Form SB-2 filed with the SEC on November 16, 1997), and Article VIII of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (Exhibit 3.2 to the registration statement on Form SB-2 filed with the SEC on November 16, 1997), each of which are incorporated herein by reference. 13 Item 16.

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: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) 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; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply, as the registration statement is on Form S-3, if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. 14 (3) To remove from registration by means of a 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 the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the 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 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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. 15 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that, as of December 4, 1998, it will meet all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3, and the registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Leander, State of Texas on December 1, 1998.
