herein by reference:

               (a) A Form S-4 dated August 25, 2000 filed pursuant to Rule

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.

               (e) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in

then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed

for the purpose of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which is also, or is
deemed to be, incorporated herein by reference modifies or supercedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed,

Item 4.        Description of Securities.

               --------------------------------------

               Not applicable.

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
               -----------------------------------------

               Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
court to award, or permits a Delaware corporation to grant, indemnity to present
or former directors and executive officers, as well as certain other persons
serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities. This permitted
indemnity is sufficiently broad to permit indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, including reimbursement for expenses
incurred.

               The indemnification authorized under Delaware law is not
exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and
directors under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation or
any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. In addition,
the registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with its directors
and executive officers in which the registrant has agreed to indemnify such
persons to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware law.

Item 7.        Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                      Statement)

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 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.


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

               (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 herein, 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 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 this
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.

Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe

this 16th day of November, 2000.

Item 1 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated October 1,
1996; such information is incorporated therein by reference to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 File No. 333-06711 originally filed on June

Registration Statement and prior to such time as the Company files a

then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superceded
for the purpose of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which is also, or is
deemed to be, incorporated herein by reference modifies or supercedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.

Item 4.        Description of Securities.
               -------------------------

                                      -2-
Not applicable.

Item 5.        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
               --------------------------------------

               Not applicable.

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
               -----------------------------------------

               Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
court to award, or permits a Delaware corporation to grant, indemnity to present
or former directors and executive officers, as well as certain other persons
serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities. This permitted
indemnity is sufficiently broad to permit indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, including reimbursement for expenses
incurred.

               The indemnification authorized under Delaware law is not
exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and
directors under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation or
any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation. In addition,
the registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with its directors
and executive officers in which the registrant has agreed to indemnify such
persons to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Delaware law.

Item 7.        Exemption from Registration Claimed.
               -----------------------------------

               Not Applicable.

Item 8.        Exhibits.
               --------

               The following exhibits have been filed (except where otherwise
indicated) as part of this Registration Statement:

       Exhibit No.                  Exhibit

           (5)        Opinion of Foley & Lardner

         (23.1)       Consent of Ernst & Young LLP

         (23.2)       Consent of Foley & Lardner (contained in Exhibit 5 hereto)

                      (included on the signature page to this Registration
                      Statement)

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 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.

                                      -3-
(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 herein, 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 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 this
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.

                                      -4-
