Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the &#147;Corporation Act&#148;).&#160; Section&nbsp;302A.521 of the Corporation Act
provides in substance that, unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation
or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an officer or director who is made or
threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her official
capacity against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation,
excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit
plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and
disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if
certain criteria are met.&#160; These
criteria, all of which must be met by the person complained of in the
proceeding, are (a)&nbsp;that such person has not been indemnified by another
organization for the same judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
expenses; (b)&nbsp;that such person must have acted in good faith;
(c)&nbsp;that no improper personal benefit was obtained by such person and such
person satisfied certain statutory conflicts of interest provisions, if
applicable; (d)&nbsp;that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had
no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and (e)&nbsp;that
such person must have acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed was in
the best interests of the corporation or, in certain limited circumstances, not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation.&#160; The determination as to eligibility for
indemnification is made by the members of the corporation&#146;s board of directors
or a committee of the board who are at the time not parties to the proceedings
under consideration, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders who are not
parties to the proceedings or by a court.</font></p>

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.&#160; 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.</font></p>

) is incorporated by reference herein.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents of the Registrant
filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are,
as of their respective dates, incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof:
(1)           The
Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Registrant for the fiscal year ended January
29, 2005
(which incorporates by reference certain portions of the
Registrant's definitive proxy statement for its 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders)
filed pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
(2)           All
other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 since the filing of the annual report referred to in (1)
above; and
(3)           The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock that is contained in the
Registration Statement on Form 8-A
(Registration
No. 000-50659) dated March 30, 2004 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and all amendments and reports filed for the purpose of updating this
description.
All reports and other documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all of the shares of Common
Stock offered have been sold or that deregisters all shares of the Common Stock
then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in and a
part of this Registration Statement from the date of filing of these documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be
incorporated, by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or incorporated herein by reference or in any other
subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes the statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of
this Registration Statement.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant
also maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Registrant,
its directors and its officers against certain liabilities.
Item 4.   Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
II-1
Item 5. Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is subject to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 302A, the
Minnesota Business Corporation Act (the "Corporation Act").  Section 302A.521 of the Corporation Act
provides in substance that, unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation
or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an officer or director who is made or
threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of his or her official
capacity against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation,
excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit
plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if
certain criteria are met.  These
criteria, all of which must be met by the person complained of in the
proceeding, are (a) that such person has not been indemnified by another
organization for the same judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
expenses; (b) that such person must have acted in good faith;
(c) that no improper personal benefit was obtained by such person and such
person satisfied certain statutory conflicts of interest provisions, if
applicable; (d) that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had
no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and (e) that
such person must have acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed was in
the best interests of the corporation or, in certain limited circumstances, not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  The determination as to eligibility for
indemnification is made by the members of the corporation's board of directors
or a committee of the board who are at the time not parties to the proceedings
under consideration, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders who are not
parties to the proceedings or by a court.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
A.            The
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. 
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 Securities and Exchange 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 Securities and
Exchange 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 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.
II-3
B.            The 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 herein,
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.
