               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

         The  following   documents  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

         1. The  Registrant's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year
ended  February  28, 1998,  filed  pursuant to Section  13(a) of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),  which Annual  Report
contains  audited  financial  statements  for the fiscal year ended February 28,
1998;

         2. The  Registrant's  Quarterly  Report  on Form  10-Q  for the  fiscal
quarter ended May 31, 1998 filed  pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act;
and

         3. The  description of the  Registrant's  Common Stock contained in the
Registrant's  Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange  Act,  including any amendment or report filed for
the purpose of updating such description.

         All  documents  filed by the  Registrant  pursuant to  Sections  13(a),
13(c),  14 and 15(d) of the  Exchange  Act  after the date of this  Registration
Statement, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities  registered  hereby have been sold or which  deregisters 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 the filing of such documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The  provisions  of Section 317 of the  California  Corporations  Code,
Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Article VI of the Registrant's  Bylaws 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 Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws. The indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit  indemnification
of the  Registrant's  executive  officers and directors for liabilities  arising
under the Securities Act. In addition,  Article IV of the  Registrant's  Amended
and  Restated  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.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors,  officers or controlling persons of 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 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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:

                  (a) To include any prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (b) 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 thereto) 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;

                  (c) 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)(a) and (1)(b) 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

                                      II-2



to the Commission by the  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.

         (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)  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.

         (5) 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.

         (6)  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 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
