          (a)       The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. 

     Not Applicable. 

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
     
     The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation
Act (the "Washington Business Act"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all
directors and officers of the Company, and may so indemnify employees or agents
of the Company.  Section 23B.08.560 of the Washington Business Act provides in
part that if authorized by the corporation's articles of incorporation or a
shareholder approved or ratified bylaw or board resolution, a corporation shall
have the power to indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any individual who was or is
threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative and whether formal or informal (a "proceeding"), by reason of
the fact that the individual is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, against the payment of reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, settlements, penalties, fines (including excise
taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) incurred with respect
to such proceeding without regard to the restrictions imposed on indemnification
under the Washington Business Act; provided that no indemnification can be
provided for liability for (i) acts or omissions of such individuals finally
adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, 
(ii) conduct of such individuals finally adjudged to be in violation of 



                                    Page 2

<PAGE>

Section 23B.08.310 of the Washington Business Act (which section relates to 
unlawful distributions), or (iii) any transaction with respect to which it 
was finally adjudged that such individuals personally received a benefit in 
money, property or services to which such individuals were not legally 
entitled.  The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also require 
advances for reasonable expenses for such individuals who are parties to such 
a proceeding as provided by applicable law or by written agreement, which 
written agreement may allow any required determination as to the availability 
of indemnification to be made by any appropriate person or body consisting of 
a member or members of the Board of Directors, any other person or body 
appointed by the Board of Directors who is not a party to the particular 
claim, or independent legal counsel.

     The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements (the 
"Indemnification Agreements") with each of its directors and executive 
officers (the "Indemnified Parties"), pursuant to which the Company has 
agreed to defend and indemnify each such Indemnified Party for claims arising 
from any actions or omissions of such Indemnified Party in his or her 
capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, or consultant of 
the Company or any claim brought against such Indemnified Party by reason of 
such Indemnified Party serving in such capacity, or by any reason of such 
Indemnified Party serving at the request of the Company in such capacity with 
another entity.  The Indemnification Agreements do not permit the Company to 
indemnify the Indemnified Parties for acts and omissions as to which 
indemnification is not permitted under the Washington Business Act.  In 
addition, the Indemnity Agreements provide that, subject to certain 
limitations, the Company must maintain directors' and officers' insurance 
covering the Indemnified Parties and must advance expenses incurred by the 
Indemnified Parties in defense of claims for which indemnification is 
available under the Indemnification Agreements. Each Indemnified Party is 
obligated to reimburse the Company for all losses and expenses paid by the 
Company under the relevant Indemnity Agreement in the event and only to the 
extent that a final determination is made that the Indemnified Party is not 
entitled to indemnification under such Indemnity Agreement, the Company's 
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the Washington Business Act or other 
applicable law.

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;



                                    Page 4

<PAGE>


            (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 and of the
          estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of pro-
          spectus 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
          percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
          the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
          registration statement;

            (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) 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 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. 



                                    Page 5

<PAGE>

     (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 benefit
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 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.

     (d)  The registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Internal 
Revenue Service ("IRS"), within the time period allowed under applicable law, a
request for determination of the qualified status of the Plan under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in connection
therewith to file with the IRS and the Department of Labor any periodic or other
reports required in connection with such determination or as may otherwise be
required in connection with the Plan.

     The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange

corporation (the "Company") or the Oakley Interplanetary 401(k) Plan (the 
"Plan"), pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

registration statement:

          (a)       The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. 

     Not Applicable. 

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
     
     The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation
Act (the "Washington Business Act"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all
directors and officers of the Company, and may so indemnify employees or agents
of the Company.  Section 23B.08.560 of the Washington Business Act provides in
part that if authorized by the corporation's articles of incorporation or a
shareholder approved or ratified bylaw or board resolution, a corporation shall
have the power to indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any individual who was or is
threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative and whether formal or informal (a "proceeding"), by reason of
the fact that the individual is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, against the payment of reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, settlements, penalties, fines (including excise
taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) incurred with respect
to such proceeding without regard to the restrictions imposed on indemnification
under the Washington Business Act; provided that no indemnification can be
provided for liability for (i) acts or omissions of such individuals finally
adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, 
(ii) conduct of such individuals finally adjudged to be in violation of 

                                    Page 2
Section 23B.08.310 of the Washington Business Act (which section relates to 
unlawful distributions), or (iii) any transaction with respect to which it 
was finally adjudged that such individuals personally received a benefit in 
money, property or services to which such individuals were not legally 
entitled.  The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also require 
advances for reasonable expenses for such individuals who are parties to such 
a proceeding as provided by applicable law or by written agreement, which 
written agreement may allow any required determination as to the availability 
of indemnification to be made by any appropriate person or body consisting of 
a member or members of the Board of Directors, any other person or body 
appointed by the Board of Directors who is not a party to the particular 
claim, or independent legal counsel.

     The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements (the 
"Indemnification Agreements") with each of its directors and executive 
officers (the "Indemnified Parties"), pursuant to which the Company has 
agreed to defend and indemnify each such Indemnified Party for claims arising 
from any actions or omissions of such Indemnified Party in his or her 
capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, or consultant of 
the Company or any claim brought against such Indemnified Party by reason of 
such Indemnified Party serving in such capacity, or by any reason of such 
Indemnified Party serving at the request of the Company in such capacity with 
another entity.  The Indemnification Agreements do not permit the Company to 
indemnify the Indemnified Parties for acts and omissions as to which 
indemnification is not permitted under the Washington Business Act.  In 
addition, the Indemnity Agreements provide that, subject to certain 
limitations, the Company must maintain directors' and officers' insurance 
covering the Indemnified Parties and must advance expenses incurred by the 
Indemnified Parties in defense of claims for which indemnification is 
available under the Indemnification Agreements. Each Indemnified Party is 
obligated to reimburse the Company for all losses and expenses paid by the 
Company under the relevant Indemnity Agreement in the event and only to the 
extent that a final determination is made that the Indemnified Party is not 
entitled to indemnification under such Indemnity Agreement, the Company's 
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, the Washington Business Act or other 
applicable law.

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;

                                    Page 4
(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 and of the
          estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of pro-
          spectus 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
          percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
          the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
          registration statement;

            (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) 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 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. 

                                    Page 5
(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 benefit
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 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.

     (d)  The registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Internal 
Revenue Service ("IRS"), within the time period allowed under applicable law, a
request for determination of the qualified status of the Plan under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in connection
therewith to file with the IRS and the Department of Labor any periodic or other
reports required in connection with such determination or as may otherwise be
required in connection with the Plan.
