Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership

        On October 6, 1997, the Registrant filed a voluntary petition for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division
pursuant to which the Registrant's existing directors will continue in
possession but subject to the supervision and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

        The Company plans to liquidate assets and review the claims of its
various creditors. It is unclear at this time whether there will be any funds
available for distribution to shareholders. Once this information has been
determined, the Company may file a Plan of Reorganization with the Bankruptcy
Court.
