ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

          The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION") are incorporated herein by reference:

          (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
               13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
               (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), or the latest prospectus filed by the
               Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
               1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), that contains audited
               financial 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.

          (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
               Registrant's registration statement filed under Section 12 of the
               Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the
               purpose of updating such description.

          All documents subsequently 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 offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed incorporated
by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of 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 Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the
Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted
by law 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, officer or employee of the
Registrant.  This indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  In addition, Article IV
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 has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its
current directors to give such directors additional contractual assurances
regarding the scope of the indemnification and liability limitations set forth
in the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

          The Registrant currently carries a director and officer liability
insurance policy with a per claim and annual aggregate coverage limit of
$7,500,000.  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 provision, 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 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 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;

                 (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 by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (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.

         (4)     That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 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.

         (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 Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the


                                      -4-


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
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 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
