     (a)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 and

          1999; and

     (d)  The description of the Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company
          (the "Common Stock") contained in the Registration Statement on Form
          8-A filed by the Company with the Commission on June 2, 1995,
          including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating
          such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 offered hereby have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents (such documents,
and the documents enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as
"Incorporated Documents").

     Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent
that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.   Description of Securities
          -------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
          --------------------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers
          -----------------------------------------

     Reference is made to Section 145 ("Section 145") of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware GCL") which provides for
indemnification of directors and officers in certain circumstances.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Company will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of
the Delaware GCL

                                     II-1


(unlawful payment of dividends) or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. It further provides that if the
Delaware GCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or
limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director
of the Company will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware GCL as so amended.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides indemnification for
directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware GCL.  The
Company's By-laws provide for the advancement to indemnified persons of
litigation expenses.  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation further
provides that such indemnification is not exclusive.  The Company's By-laws
permit the Company to insure its directors, officers or employees against
certain liabilities without regard to whether they may be indemnified under
Delaware law.

     Pursuant to Section 145 and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the
Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which
insures the Company and the elected officers and directors of the Company
against damages, judgments, settlements and costs incurred by reason of certain
acts committed by such persons in their capacities as officers and directors.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed
          -----------------------------------

          Not applicable.

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, as amended (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; and 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 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 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, 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.

     (c)  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 foregoing provisions, 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 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                     II-4

authorized, in the City of Dubuque, State of Iowa, on this 17th day of March,
