                 statements  for the  Registrant's  latest fiscal year for which
                 such statements have been filed.

         (b)     All other reports  filed  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
                 the  Exchange  Act since the end of the fiscal year  covered by
                 the annual report or the prospectus referred to in (a) above.

the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable as to Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         The  consolidated  balance  sheets as of February 28, 1995 and 1996 and
the consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders' equity and cash flows

                                      - 2 -


ITEM 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The  provisions  of Section 317 of the  California  Corporations  Code,
Article VI of the Registrant's  Articles of Incorporation  and Article VI of the
Registrant's By-laws provide for indemnification for expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements  and other amounts  actually and  reasonably  incurred in connection
with any  proceeding  arising  by reason of the fact that any person is or was a
director or officer of the Registrant.  The Registrant's directors and executive
officers have also entered into Indemnity  Agreements  with the Registrant  that
give such directors and executive officers contractual  assurances regarding the
scope  of  the  indemnification  and  liability  limitations  set  forth  in the
Registrant's  Articles of Incorporation and By-laws.  The indemnification may be
sufficiently  broad to  permit  indemnification  of the  Registrant's  executive
officers and directors for liabilities  arising under the 1933 Act. In addition,
Article  V of the  Registrant's  Articles  of  Incorporation  provides  that the
liability  of the  Registrant's  directors  shall be  eliminated  to the fullest
extent permissible under California law.

         The  Registrant  maintains a director and officer  liability  insurance
policy with a per annum policy limit of  $1,000,000,  all claims and  coverages,
and a deductible of $100,000 per annum.

ITEM 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

ITEM 9.  Undertakings.

         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;

                (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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities  offered (if the total dollar value of  securities  offered would not
exceed that which was  registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the
changes in volume and price  represent  no more than a 20 percent  change in the
maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

                (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  (1)(i) and (1)(ii)  above do not
apply 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 the Registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

                (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under 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.

                (3) To remove  from  registration  by means of a  post-effective
amendment  any of the  securities  being  registered  that remain  unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         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.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions  discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the opinion of the  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


                                      - 4 -


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  hereby, 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.
