PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.
The Company became subject to the informational requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") on June 25, 1999 and,
accordingly, files periodic reports and other information with the Commission.
Reports, proxy statements and other information concerning the Company filed
with the Commission may be inspected and copies may be obtained (at prescribed
rates) at the Commission's Public Reference Section, Room 1024, 450 Fifth
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
The following documents filed by the Company are incorporated in this
Registration Statement by reference:
(a) The Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (No. 333-74279)
filed with the Commission on March 11, 1999 and amendments thereto;
(b) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ending

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 1741 through 1747 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law
provide that an officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified by the
Company from and against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with threatened, pending
or contemplated proceedings (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person
reasonably believes to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company.
Provisions regarding indemnification of directors, officers, employees
or agents of the Company are contained in Article 10 of the Company's Articles
of Incorporation.
Under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, directors
and officers of the Company are insured against certain liabilities, including
certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Registrant believes that these provisions assist the Registrant in,
among other things, attracting and retaining qualified persons to serve the
Registrant and its subsidiary. However, a result of such provisions could be to
increase the expenses of the Registrant and effectively reduce the ability of
stockholders to sue on behalf of the Registrant because certain suits could be
barred or amounts that might otherwise be obtained on behalf of the Registrant
could be required to be repaid by the Registrant to an indemnified party.
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the
person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the Company would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability
under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has
been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
For a list of all exhibits filed or included as part of this
Registration Statement, see "Index to Exhibits" at the end of this Registration
Statement.
In lieu of an opinion of counsel concerning the Plan's compliance with
the requirements of ERISA, the Company hereby undertakes that it has submitted
the Plan and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a
timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify
the Plan.
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;
(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 no apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.
(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.
-4-
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for 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 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(d) 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 foregoing provisions, 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 1933 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 expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
