      All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered
hereunder have been sold, or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold under this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of
filing of such documents.

      Any statement contained in a document incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the
purpose of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
in this Registration Statement or in any other document subsequently filed
pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which also is or is deemed to be incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference modifies or replaces such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

      Not applicable. The Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12
of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

      The legality of the Company's securities being registered will be passed
upon by Day Campbell & McGill. Members of the firm of Day Campbell & McGill
owned an aggregate of 273,260 shares of the Company's Common Stock and options

      The Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that (a) the personal
liability of a director or officer to the Company or its stockholders for
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer shall be
eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law except for: (i)
acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law; or (ii) the payment of distributions in violation of Section
78.300 or the Nevada Revised Statutes, and (b) if the Nevada Revised Statutes
are hereinafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of
the liability of a director or officer, then the liability of a director or
officer of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, so as amended.


                                      II-2
   3

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and
is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration.

      Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

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; 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 that information in the registration statement.

            Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if 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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.


                                      II-3
   4

            (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.

      (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) 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.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Pearl River, State of New York, on July 20, 1998.
