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;). Section&nbsp;10 of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Bylaws provides for
indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors, officers, employees and agents
to the maximum extent permitted by Washington law.
</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 transactions from which the
director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which
the director is not entitled. Article&nbsp;11 of the Registrant&#146;s Restated 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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors and also maintains an insurance policy insuring its
directors and officers against liability for certain acts or omissions while
acting in their official capacities as to which the Registrant would be
precluded from providing indemnification.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933,
this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of
additional shares which may be necessary to adjust the number of shares
reserved for issuance pursuant to the plan as the result of any future

outstanding Common Stock.

Computed pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $301,042.50 is
based on the per share exercise price of the currently outstanding options
not subject to previous registration, which is $8.37.

separately from the Common Stock.
(4)
Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The
price per share is estimated to be $7.245 based on the average of the high
($7.55) and low ($6.94) sales prices for the Common Stock on May 13, 2002
as reported by the Nasdaq National Market.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
31, 2001, which contains audited financial statements for the most recent
fiscal year for which such statements have been filed;
(b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K
referred to in (a) above; and
(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock, including the
Registrant's rights plan, contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement
on Form 10, as amended, under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered
hereby have been sold or which deregister the securities covered hereby then
remaining unsold, shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the
respective dates on which such documents are filed.
Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
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"). Section 10 of the Registrant's Restated Bylaws provides for
indemnification of the Registrant's directors, officers, employees and agents
to the maximum extent permitted by Washington law.
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 transactions from which the
director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which
the director is not entitled. Article 11 of the Registrant's Restated 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.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors and also maintains an insurance policy insuring its
directors and officers against liability for certain acts or omissions while
acting in their official capacities as to which the Registrant would be
precluded from providing indemnification.
Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this 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 Section 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
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 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 this 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

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, 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
