           PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration
Statement the following documents or portions thereof as indicated:

         (a)      the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K405 for the fiscal
                  year ended January 31, 2001;

         (b)      the description of the Registrant's common stock which is
                  contained in its registration statement on Form 8-A, file no.
                  0-15194, filed on December 3, 1986, including any amendments
                  or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description;
                  and

         (c)      all other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
                  13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
                  "Exchange Act") since January 31, 2001.

         In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, 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 to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a
document incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein, or in a subsequently filed document incorporated
herein by reference, 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so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.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.

         The Registrant has authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida
Business Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent
provided for in such statute. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Registrant will indemnify and may insure its
officers and directors to the full extent not prohibited by law. The Registrant
has also entered into an agreement with each of its directors and executive
officers where it has agreed to indemnify each of them to the fullest extent
permitted by law. In general, Florida law permits a Florida corporation to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents, and persons serving at
the corporation's request in such capacities for another enterprise, against
liabilities arising from conduct that such persons reasonably believed to be in,
nor not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         None claimed.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS

         See "Exhibit Index" on page II-1 below.

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 (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 (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 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 this
Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 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 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 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 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.

           PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration
Statement the following documents or portions thereof as indicated:

         (a)      the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K405 for the fiscal
                  year ended January 31, 2001;

         (b)      the description of the Registrant's common stock which is
                  contained in its registration statement on Form 8-A, file no.
                  0-15194, filed on December 3, 1986, including any amendments
                  or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description;
                  and

         (c)      all other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
                  13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
                  "Exchange Act") since January 31, 2001.

         In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, 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 to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a
document incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein, or in a subsequently filed document incorporated
herein by reference, 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.

         The Registrant has authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida
Business Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent
provided for in such statute. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Registrant will indemnify and may insure its
officers and directors to the full extent not prohibited by law. The Registrant
has also entered into an agreement with each of its directors and executive
officers where it has agreed to indemnify each of them to the fullest extent
permitted by law. In general, Florida law permits a Florida corporation to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents, and persons serving at
the corporation's request in such capacities for another enterprise, against
liabilities arising from conduct that such persons reasonably believed to be in,
nor not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         None claimed.

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 (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 (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 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 this
Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 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 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 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 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.
