Item 3.           Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

                  The following documents filed with the Commission (File No.
1-14168) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement:

        (1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A or the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998, filed January 14, 1999;

        (2) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, filed February 16, 1999; and

        (3) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, filed May 17, 1999.

                  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all the
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all the securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and to be part thereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

Item 4.           Description of Securities.

                  Not Applicable.


Item 5.           Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

                  Not applicable.


Item 6.           Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

                  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of Directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General
Corporation Law. Delaware law provides that the directors of a corporation will
not be personally liable to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability
(i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The
Company's By-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   4
its directors and officers under certain circumstances, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and the
Company is required to advance expenses to its officers and directors as
incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be
indemnified.

  In January, 1999, the Company purchased an aggregate of $20,000,000 of
liability insurance from AIG Insurance Group for indemnification of all of its
directors and officers at a cost of approximately $358,800.

Item 7.           Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                  Not Applicable.

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 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 Commission
           pursuant to Rule 424(b) 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
           (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

                                      II-2
<PAGE>   5
           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
           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 this 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 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 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 therein and the offering of such securities at that time
           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  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.

                   Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on this
28th day of May, 1999.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 3.           Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

                  The following documents filed with the Commission (File No.
1-14168) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement:

        (1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A or the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998, filed January 14, 1999;

        (2) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, filed February 16, 1999; and

        (3) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, filed May 17, 1999.

                  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all the
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all the securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and to be part thereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

Item 4.           Description of Securities.

                  Not Applicable.

Item 5.           Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

                  Not applicable.

Item 6.           Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

                  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of Directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General
Corporation Law. Delaware law provides that the directors of a corporation will
not be personally liable to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability
(i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The
Company's By-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify

                                      II-1
4
its directors and officers under certain circumstances, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and the
Company is required to advance expenses to its officers and directors as
incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be
indemnified.

  In January, 1999, the Company purchased an aggregate of $20,000,000 of
liability insurance from AIG Insurance Group for indemnification of all of its
directors and officers at a cost of approximately $358,800.

Item 7.           Exemption from Registration Claimed.

                  Not Applicable.

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 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 Commission
           pursuant to Rule 424(b) 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
           (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

                                      II-2
5
           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
           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 this 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 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 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 therein and the offering of such securities at that time
           shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  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.

                   Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on this
28th day of May, 1999.
