<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business
Corporation Act authorize a court to award, or a corporation&#146;s board of
directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
&#147;Securities Act&#148;). Article&nbsp;VI of the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Amendment and
Second Restatement of Articles of Incorporation provides for indemnification of
the Registrant&#146;s directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum
extent permitted by Washington law. The directors and officers of the
Registrant also may be indemnified against liability they may incur for serving
in such capacity pursuant to a liability insurance policy maintained by the
Company for such purpose.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;23B.08.320 of the Washington Business Corporation Act authorizes a
corporation to limit a director&#146;s liability to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except
in certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, self-dealing or
illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the
director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which
the director is not legally entitled. Article&nbsp;VI Registrant&#146;s Articles of
Amendment and Second Restatement of Articles of Incorporation contains
provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington law,
such limitations on a director&#146;s liability to the Registrant and its
shareholders.

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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If 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 of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
The following documents are incorporated in this Registration Statement by
reference:
1. The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (File No.
000-26542);
2. All other reports filed by the Registrant with the
Commission since December 31, 2001 and prior to the date of this
Prospectus pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
3. The description of the Common Stock set forth in the
Registration Statement on Form 8-A under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, filed by the Registrant with the Commission on
August 1, 1995 (File No. 000-26542); and
4. The description of the Common Stock Purchase Rights as set
forth in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A under Section
12(g) of the Exchange Act, filed by the Registrant with the
Commission on September 25, 1995, as amended on September 29, 1995
and May 13, 1999 (File No. 000-26542).
All documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission after the date
of this Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, before the filing of a post-effective amendment that
indicates that all securities offered pursuant to this Registration Statement
have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
also be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
and to be part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents.
Any statement 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 in any other subsequently filed
document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such 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.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not required.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Principals of legal counsel to the Registrant, Riddell Williams P.S.,
beneficially own a total of 81,200 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
Douglas A. Raff and Alejandro C.
II - 1
Table of Contents
Torres, principals of Riddell Williams P.S., serve as Secretary and
Assistant Secretary, respectively, of the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business
Corporation Act authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of
directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Article VI of the Registrant's Articles of Amendment and
Second Restatement of Articles of Incorporation provides for indemnification of
the Registrant's directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum
extent permitted by Washington law. The directors and officers of the
Registrant also may be indemnified against liability they may incur for serving
in such capacity pursuant to a liability insurance policy maintained by the
Company for such purpose.
Section 23B.08.320 of the Washington Business Corporation Act authorizes a
corporation to limit a director's liability to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except
in certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, self-dealing or
illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the
director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which
the director is not legally entitled. Article VI Registrant's Articles of
Amendment and Second Restatement of Articles of Incorporation contains
provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington law,
such limitations on a director's liability to the Registrant and its
shareholders.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

the Registration Statement.
(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 the 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.
(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 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 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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If 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 of
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
