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, therefor,
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 other 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.</P>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3.
INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents which

(the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated herein by reference:

The
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000,
filed with the Commission on December 20, 2000;
(b)
The Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods
ended December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, filed with the Commission on
February 13, 2001 and May 14, 2001, respectively; and

All documents filed by the

subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or

dates of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a
document all or part of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by

ITEM 5.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 302A.521 of the
Minnesota Statutes provides that a corporation shall indemnify any person made
or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or
present official capacity of such person against judgments, penalties, fines
(including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against such person with
respect to any employee benefit plan), settlements and reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such person in
connection with the proceeding, if, with respect to the acts or omissions of
such person complained of in the proceeding, such person (1) has not been
indemnified therefor by another organization or employee benefit plan for the
same judgments, penalties or fines; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received
no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255 (with respect to director
conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (4) in the case of a
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions in such person's
official capacity for the corporation, reasonably believed that the conduct was
in the best interests of the corporation, or in the case of acts or omissions
II-1
in such person's official capacity for other affiliated
organizations, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation. Section 302A.521 also requires payment by a corporation, upon written
request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of the proceeding in
certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested
majority of the Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum
is present, or by a designated committee of the Board, by special legal counsel, by the
shareholders or by a court.
Minnesota law and the
Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall, under certain
circumstances and subject to certain limitations, indemnify any person made or
threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of that person's
former or present official capacity with the Company against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses. Any such person is also
entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.
The Company maintains a
policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures
the Company's directors and officers against the cost of defense,
settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities 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 (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement; and
II-2
(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) above will 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 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, 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 benefits 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, therefor,
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 other 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-3
