                                  RISK FACTORS

     IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS WHEN
EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY. THIS PROSPECTUS
CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE "SAFE HARBOR"
PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 THAT
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, SUCH AS STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY'S PLANS,
OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS AND INTENTIONS. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD
DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED HEREIN. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR
CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW, AS WELL AS
THOSE DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

AVIATION INDUSTRY RISKS

     The Company derives all of its sales and operating income from the
services and parts that it provides to its customers in the aviation
industry. Therefore, the Company's business is directly affected by economic
factors and other trends that affect its customers in the aviation industry,
including a possible decrease in aviation activity, a decrease in outsourcing
by aircraft operators or the failure of projected market growth to
materialize or continue. When such economic and other factors adversely
affect the aviation industry, they tend to reduce the overall demand for the
Company's products and services, thereby decreasing the Company's sales and
operating income.

FLUCTUATIONS IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's operating results are affected by a number of factors,
including the timing of orders for the repair and overhaul of landing gear
and fulfillment of such contracts, the timing of expenditures to manufacture
parts and purchase inventory in anticipation of future services and sales,
parts shortages that delay work in progress, general economic conditions and
other factors. Although the Company has secured several long-term agreements
to service multiple aircraft, the Company receives sales under these
agreements only when it actually performs a repair or overhaul. Because the
average time between landing gear overhauls is seven years, the work orders
that the Company receives and the number of repairs or overhauls that the
Company performs in particular periods may vary significantly causing the
Company's quarterly sales and results of operations to fluctuate
substantially. The Company is unable to predict the timing of the actual
receipt of such orders and, as a result, significant variations between
forecasts and actual orders will often occur. In addition, the Company's need
to make significant expenditures to support new aircraft in advance of
generating revenues from repairing or overhauling such aircraft may cause the
Company's quarterly operating results to fluctuate. Furthermore, the
rescheduling of the shipment of any large order, or portion thereof, or any
production difficulties or delays by the Company, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's quarterly operating results.

RISKS RELATING TO ACQUISITION STRATEGY; ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITED KINGDOM
OPERATIONS

     The Company may attempt to grow by acquiring service and parts providers
whose operations or inventories complement or expand the Company's existing
repair and overhaul businesses, or whose strategic locations enable the
Company to expand into new geographic markets. The Company's ability to grow
by acquisition depends upon, and may be limited by, the availability of
suitable acquisition candidates and the Company's capital resources.

     Acquisitions involve risks that could adversely affect the Company's
operating results, including the assimilation of the operations and personnel
of acquired companies, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the
loss of key employees of acquired companies. Although the Company
investigates the operations and assets that it acquires, there may be
liabilities that the Company fails or is unable to discover, and for which
the Company as a successor owner or operator may be liable. In addition,
costs and charges, including legal and accounting fees and reserves and
write-downs relating to an acquisition, may be incurred by the Company or may
be reported in connection with any such acquisition. The Company evaluates
acquisition opportunities from time to time, but the Company has not entered
into any commitments or binding agreements to date, except with respect to
the BA Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or at all, or that it will
be successful in integrating any such acquisitions, including the BA
Acquisition, into its operations. The Company had no history or experience
operating in the United Kingdom prior to the BA


                                      4.
<PAGE>

acquisition. The likelihood of the success of the Company's United Kingdom
operations must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection
with a new business. These include, without limitation, the need to establish
operating, marketing and administrative capabilities, the need to implement
the Company's management information system in its new location, the need to
locate and move into a new facility, unanticipated marketing problems, new
competitive pressures, and increased expenses.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPANSION OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

     The Company's growth strategy is based in large part on the Company's
ability to expand its international operations, which will require
significant management attention and financial resources. The Company
currently has a subsidiary in the United Kingdom and a division in the
Netherlands. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to expand
operations internationally will be successful. In addition, international
operations are subject to a number of risks, including longer accounts
receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable
collections, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign currency
fluctuations, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties and
costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, potentially adverse tax
consequences, political instability, the burdens of complying with multiple,
potentially conflicting laws and the impact of business cycles and economic
instability outside the United States.

     The Company's sales are principally denominated in United States dollars
and British pounds, and to a lesser extent in Dutch guilders. The Company
makes substantial inventory purchases in French francs from such suppliers as
Messier-Bugatti, Societe D'Applications Des Machines Motrices and Eurocopter
France. The Company's Netherlands facility's inventory purchases are
primarily United States dollar denominated, while sales and operating
expenses are partially denominated in Dutch guilders. To date, the Company's
business has not been significantly affected by currency fluctuations or
inflation. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause the Company's
products to become relatively more expensive in particular countries, leading
to a reduction in sales in that country.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION

     Numerous companies compete with the Company in the aviation services
industry. The Company expects that competition in its industry will increase
substantially as a result of industry consolidations and alliances in
response to the trend in the aviation industry toward outsourcing of repair
and overhaul services. In addition, as the Company moves into new geographic
or product markets it will encounter new competition.

     The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in its
marketplace are quality, price, rapid turnaround time and industry
experience. Certain of the Company's competitors have substantially greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. These
competitors may have the ability to adapt more quickly to changes in customer
requirements, may have stronger customer relationships and greater name
recognition and may devote greater resources to the development, promotion
and sale of their products than the Company. There can be no assurance that
competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The Company's operations are regularly audited and accredited by the
Coordinating Agency for Supplier Evaluation, formed by commercial airlines to
approve FAA approved repair stations and aviation parts suppliers. If
material authorizations or approvals are revoked or suspended, the Company's
operations will be materially and adversely affected. As the Company attempts
to commence operations in countries in which it has not previously operated,
it will need to obtain new certifications and approvals. In addition, if new
and more stringent regulations are adopted by foreign or domestic regulatory
agencies, or oversight of the aviation industry is increased in the future,
the Company's business may be adversely affected.


                                      5.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY SUPPLIERS

     The Company purchases landing gear spare parts and components for a
variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The Company has separate
10-year agreements that each expire in October 2006 with: (i) Dunlop Limited,
Aviation Division; (ii) Dunlop Limited, Precision Rubber; and (iii) Dunlop
Equipment Division. Under two of these agreements, the Company purchases
discounted parts for resale and repair from Dunlop. For the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, Dunlop accounted for approximately $4,513,000 and
$4,301,000, respectively, of the spare parts and components that the Company
purchased in such periods. Failure by any one of these divisions of Dunlop to
renew its agreement on similar terms when it expires could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's business. The Company's single largest
supplier during 1998 was Boeing, who provided the Company $13,000,000 of
spare parts and components.

     In addition, the Company has agreements with Messier-Bugatti, SAMM and
Eurocopter France that enable the Company to purchase new aircraft parts at
discounts from list price. Many of the Company's supplier agreements, other
than its agreements with Dunlop, are short-term and can be terminated by the
supplier upon providing ninety days prior written notice. A decision by any
of these suppliers to terminate their agreements would reduce the competitive
advantage the Company derives therefrom.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

     British Airways, Federal Express and the USCG have been the only
customers accounting for more than 10% of sales during the last three years.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     At December 31, 1998, 25.7% and 19.4% of the Company's total accounts
receivable were associated with British Airways and Federal Express,
respectively. At December 31, 1997, 18.9% and 6.1% of the Company's total
accounts receivable were associated with Federal Express and British Airways,
respectively. At December 31, 1996, 7.4% and 9.3% of the Company's total
accounts receivable were associated with Federal Express and the USCG,
respectively.

     Write-offs against accounts receivable have been one-twentieth of one
percent in 1998, and two-tenths of one percent in 1997. The Company can not
provide any assurance that such favorable bad debt experience will continue.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

     The Company's operations are subject to extensive and frequently
changing federal, state and local environmental laws and substantial related
regulation by government agencies, including the EPA, the California
Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Occupational Safety and
Health Administration. Among other matters, these regulatory authorities
impose requirements that regulate the operation, handling, transportation and
disposal of hazardous materials generated by the Company during the normal
course of its operations, govern the health and safety of the Company's
employees and require the Company to obtain and maintain permits in
connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes
significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company and, as a result,
substantially affects its operational costs. In addition, the Company may
become liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous
substances released on or in its facilities without regard to whether the
Company knew of, or caused, the release of such substances. The Company
believes that it currently is in material compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and is not aware of any material environmental problem at any of
its current or former facilities. There can be no assurance, however, that
its prior activities did not create a material problem for which the Company
could be responsible or that future uses or conditions (including, without
limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulation, or an
increase in the amount of hazardous substances generated by the Company's
operations) will not result in material environmental liability to the
Company and materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition
and results of operations. The Company's plating operations, which use a
number of hazardous materials and generate


                                      6.
<PAGE>

a significant volume of hazardous waste, increase the Company's regulatory
compliance burden and compound the risk that the Company may encounter a
material environmental problem in the future. Furthermore, compliance with
laws and regulations in foreign countries in which the Company locates its
operations may cause future increases in the Company's operating costs or
otherwise adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.

PRODUCT LIABILITY RISKS

     The Company's business exposes it to possible claims for personal
injury, death or property damage which may result from the failure or
malfunction of landing gears, hydromechanical components or aircraft spare
parts repaired or overhauled by the Company. Many factors beyond the
Company's control could lead to liability claims, including the failure of
the aircraft on which landing gear or hydromechanical components overhauled
by the Company is installed, the reliability of the customer's operators of
the aircraft and the maintenance of the aircraft by the customer. The Company
currently has in force aviation products liability and premises insurance,
which the Company believes provides coverage in amounts and on terms that are
generally consistent with industry practice. The Company has not experienced
any material product liability claims related to its products. There can be
no assurance that the amount of product liability insurance that the Company
carries at the time a product liability claim is be made will be sufficient
to protect the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

     The continued success of the Company depends to a large degree upon the
services of certain of its executive officers and upon the Company's ability
to attract and retain qualified managerial and technical personnel
experienced in the various operations of the Company's business. Loss of the
services of such employees, particularly David Lokken, President and Chief
Executive Officer; Philip Panzera, Executive Vice President; Dennis Biety,
Managing Director of Hawker Pacific Aerospace Ltd.; Brian Carr, Managing
Director of Sun Valley Operations; or Michael Riley, Vice President-Sales and
Marketing, could adversely affect the operations of the Company.

     The Company has entered into employment agreements expiring in 2001 with
Messrs. Lokken and Panzera, and 2003 with Mr. Biety. Messrs. Carr and Riley
have employment agreements with the Company which expire on October 31, 2000.

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH FACILITIES REORGANIZATION

     The Company's UK subsidiary has relocated to a new facility in 1999. The
Company believes it has moved the facility with a minimum of disruption,
although operations have been affected by the move.

     The Company is in the process of expanding its plating operations at its
Sun Valley facility. This expansion is not expected to be completed until
sometime in 2000. The plating shop of the UK operation is not scheduled to
move to the new facility until sometime in early 2000. Any failure or delay
in the expansion or relocation of these plating operations could impair the
Company's ability to service its customers.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in
miscalculation or system failures. The Company believes that its mainframe
database and operating systems are year 2000 compliant. However, certain of
the Company's software applications currently are coded using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company is systematically
modifying such software applications to be coded as four digits. In addition,
the Company is working with its external suppliers, vendors and service
providers to ensure that their systems will be able to support and interact
with the Company's server and network. The Company has not quantified the
total costs required to become year 2000 compliant, but does not expect such
costs to be material.


                                      7.
<PAGE>

As of September 30, 1999, the total costs incurred to address the Company's
year 2000 issues have not been material. However, if the Company, its
customers or vendors are unable to resolve such processing issues in a timely
manner, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, the Company plans
to devote the necessary resources to becoming year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     As of the date of this Prospectus, the authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock.

COMMON STOCK

     As of November 15, 1999, 5,822,222 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding, held of record by 34 registered shareholders. The holders of
Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders and may cumulate their votes
in the election of directors upon giving notice required by law. Subject to
preferences that may be applicable to any shares of Preferred Stock issued in
the future, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefore. See "Dividend Policy." The Company's shareholders
currently may cumulate their votes for the election of directors so long as
at least one shareholder has given notice at the meeting of shareholders
prior to the voting of that shareholder's desire to cumulate his or her
votes. Cumulative voting means that in any election of directors, each
shareholder may give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of
directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares held by such
shareholder, or such shareholder may distribute such number of votes among as
many candidates as the shareholder sees fit. Cumulative voting will no longer
be required or permitted under the Amended Articles at such time as (i) the
Company's shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq National Market and
the Company has at least 800 holders of its equity securities as of the
record date of the Company's most recent annual meeting of shareholders or
(ii) the Company's shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or the American Stock Exchange. At that time, the Company may divide
its Board into classes of directors. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably with the holders of any then outstanding Preferred
Stock in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the
liquidation preference of any then outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of
Common Stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their Common
Stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock are, and all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in the
initial public offering are, fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

     The Board of Directors has authority to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without
any future vote or action by the shareholders. The rights of the holders of
the Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the
rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of the Company. Furthermore, such preferred stock may have
other rights, including economic rights senior to the common stock, and, as a
result, the issuance thereof could have a material adverse effect on the
market value of the Common Stock.

     In March 1999, the Company adopted a Rights Agreement and in connection
therewith, created a Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. No shares
of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

STOCK TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

     The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's Common Stock is U.S.
Stock Transfer Corporation, Glendale, California.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

     The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended
("Amended Articles") provide that, pursuant to the California Corporations
Code, the liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages
shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for
monetary damages in an action brought by, or in the right of, the Company for
breach of a director's duties to the Company or its shareholders. This
provision in the Amended Articles does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary
duty and does not apply for certain liabilities: (i) for acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of
law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to
the best interest of the Company or its shareholders or that involve the
absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or
omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
Company or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware,
or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's
duties, of a risk of serious injury to the Company or its shareholders; (v)
for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention
that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the Company or its
shareholders; (vi) with respect to certain transactions or the approval of
transactions in which a director has a material financial interest; and (vii)
expressly imposed by statute for approval of certain improper distributions
to shareholders or certain loans or guarantees. This provision also does not
limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any shareholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a
breach of a director's duty of care. The Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors to the
full extent permitted by law, including circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary. Among other things, the
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify directors and officers against
certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors and officers and allows the Company to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified.

     The Company believes that it is the position of the Commission that
insofar as the foregoing provision may be invoked to disclaim liability for
damages arising under the Securities Act, the provision is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Such limitation of liability also does not affect the availability of
equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements
("Indemnification Agreement(s)") with each of its directors and executive
officers. Each such Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will
indemnify the indemnitee against expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any civil or criminal action or
administrative proceeding arising out of the performance of his duties as a
director or officer, other than an action instituted by the director or
officer. Such indemnification is available if the indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Indemnification
Agreements require that the Company indemnify the director or other party
thereto in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each
Indemnification Agreement permits the director or officer that is party
thereto to bring suit to seek recovery of amounts due under the
Indemnification Agreement and to recover the expenses of such a suit if he is
successful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable. The Company believes that its Amended Articles and Bylaw
provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.

     The Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), indemnification provisions such as
the foregoing are against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and are therefore unenforceable with respect to claims arising under federal
securities laws.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     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; 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 this Registration Statement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if 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
Exchange Act 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.

     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 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


                                      15.
<PAGE>

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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


                                      16.

RISK FACTORS

     IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS WHEN
EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY. THIS PROSPECTUS
CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE "SAFE HARBOR"
PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 THAT
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, SUCH AS STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY'S PLANS,
OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS AND INTENTIONS. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD
DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED HEREIN. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR
CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW, AS WELL AS
THOSE DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

AVIATION INDUSTRY RISKS

     The Company derives all of its sales and operating income from the
services and parts that it provides to its customers in the aviation
industry. Therefore, the Company's business is directly affected by economic
factors and other trends that affect its customers in the aviation industry,
including a possible decrease in aviation activity, a decrease in outsourcing
by aircraft operators or the failure of projected market growth to
materialize or continue. When such economic and other factors adversely
affect the aviation industry, they tend to reduce the overall demand for the
Company's products and services, thereby decreasing the Company's sales and
operating income.

FLUCTUATIONS IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's operating results are affected by a number of factors,
including the timing of orders for the repair and overhaul of landing gear
and fulfillment of such contracts, the timing of expenditures to manufacture
parts and purchase inventory in anticipation of future services and sales,
parts shortages that delay work in progress, general economic conditions and
other factors. Although the Company has secured several long-term agreements
to service multiple aircraft, the Company receives sales under these
agreements only when it actually performs a repair or overhaul. Because the
average time between landing gear overhauls is seven years, the work orders
that the Company receives and the number of repairs or overhauls that the
Company performs in particular periods may vary significantly causing the
Company's quarterly sales and results of operations to fluctuate
substantially. The Company is unable to predict the timing of the actual
receipt of such orders and, as a result, significant variations between
forecasts and actual orders will often occur. In addition, the Company's need
to make significant expenditures to support new aircraft in advance of
generating revenues from repairing or overhauling such aircraft may cause the
Company's quarterly operating results to fluctuate. Furthermore, the
rescheduling of the shipment of any large order, or portion thereof, or any
production difficulties or delays by the Company, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's quarterly operating results.

RISKS RELATING TO ACQUISITION STRATEGY; ESTABLISHMENT OF UNITED KINGDOM
OPERATIONS

     The Company may attempt to grow by acquiring service and parts providers
whose operations or inventories complement or expand the Company's existing
repair and overhaul businesses, or whose strategic locations enable the
Company to expand into new geographic markets. The Company's ability to grow
by acquisition depends upon, and may be limited by, the availability of
suitable acquisition candidates and the Company's capital resources.

     Acquisitions involve risks that could adversely affect the Company's
operating results, including the assimilation of the operations and personnel
of acquired companies, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the
loss of key employees of acquired companies. Although the Company
investigates the operations and assets that it acquires, there may be
liabilities that the Company fails or is unable to discover, and for which
the Company as a successor owner or operator may be liable. In addition,
costs and charges, including legal and accounting fees and reserves and
write-downs relating to an acquisition, may be incurred by the Company or may
be reported in connection with any such acquisition. The Company evaluates
acquisition opportunities from time to time, but the Company has not entered
into any commitments or binding agreements to date, except with respect to
the BA Acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or at all, or that it will
be successful in integrating any such acquisitions, including the BA
Acquisition, into its operations. The Company had no history or experience
operating in the United Kingdom prior to the BA

                                      4.
acquisition. The likelihood of the success of the Company's United Kingdom
operations must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection
with a new business. These include, without limitation, the need to establish
operating, marketing and administrative capabilities, the need to implement
the Company's management information system in its new location, the need to
locate and move into a new facility, unanticipated marketing problems, new
competitive pressures, and increased expenses.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPANSION OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

     The Company's growth strategy is based in large part on the Company's
ability to expand its international operations, which will require
significant management attention and financial resources. The Company
currently has a subsidiary in the United Kingdom and a division in the
Netherlands. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to expand
operations internationally will be successful. In addition, international
operations are subject to a number of risks, including longer accounts
receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable
collections, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign currency
fluctuations, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties and
costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, potentially adverse tax
consequences, political instability, the burdens of complying with multiple,
potentially conflicting laws and the impact of business cycles and economic
instability outside the United States.

     The Company's sales are principally denominated in United States dollars
and British pounds, and to a lesser extent in Dutch guilders. The Company
makes substantial inventory purchases in French francs from such suppliers as
Messier-Bugatti, Societe D'Applications Des Machines Motrices and Eurocopter
France. The Company's Netherlands facility's inventory purchases are
primarily United States dollar denominated, while sales and operating
expenses are partially denominated in Dutch guilders. To date, the Company's
business has not been significantly affected by currency fluctuations or
inflation. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause the Company's
products to become relatively more expensive in particular countries, leading
to a reduction in sales in that country.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION

     Numerous companies compete with the Company in the aviation services
industry. The Company expects that competition in its industry will increase
substantially as a result of industry consolidations and alliances in
response to the trend in the aviation industry toward outsourcing of repair
and overhaul services. In addition, as the Company moves into new geographic
or product markets it will encounter new competition.

     The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in its
marketplace are quality, price, rapid turnaround time and industry
experience. Certain of the Company's competitors have substantially greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. These
competitors may have the ability to adapt more quickly to changes in customer
requirements, may have stronger customer relationships and greater name
recognition and may devote greater resources to the development, promotion
and sale of their products than the Company. There can be no assurance that
competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The Company's operations are regularly audited and accredited by the
Coordinating Agency for Supplier Evaluation, formed by commercial airlines to
approve FAA approved repair stations and aviation parts suppliers. If
material authorizations or approvals are revoked or suspended, the Company's
operations will be materially and adversely affected. As the Company attempts
to commence operations in countries in which it has not previously operated,
it will need to obtain new certifications and approvals. In addition, if new
and more stringent regulations are adopted by foreign or domestic regulatory
agencies, or oversight of the aviation industry is increased in the future,
the Company's business may be adversely affected.

                                      5.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY SUPPLIERS

     The Company purchases landing gear spare parts and components for a
variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The Company has separate
10-year agreements that each expire in October 2006 with: (i) Dunlop Limited,
Aviation Division; (ii) Dunlop Limited, Precision Rubber; and (iii) Dunlop
Equipment Division. Under two of these agreements, the Company purchases
discounted parts for resale and repair from Dunlop. For the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, Dunlop accounted for approximately $4,513,000 and
$4,301,000, respectively, of the spare parts and components that the Company
purchased in such periods. Failure by any one of these divisions of Dunlop to
renew its agreement on similar terms when it expires could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's business. The Company's single largest
supplier during 1998 was Boeing, who provided the Company $13,000,000 of
spare parts and components.

     In addition, the Company has agreements with Messier-Bugatti, SAMM and
Eurocopter France that enable the Company to purchase new aircraft parts at
discounts from list price. Many of the Company's supplier agreements, other
than its agreements with Dunlop, are short-term and can be terminated by the
supplier upon providing ninety days prior written notice. A decision by any
of these suppliers to terminate their agreements would reduce the competitive
advantage the Company derives therefrom.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

     British Airways, Federal Express and the USCG have been the only
customers accounting for more than 10% of sales during the last three years.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     At December 31, 1998, 25.7% and 19.4% of the Company's total accounts
receivable were associated with British Airways and Federal Express,
respectively. At December 31, 1997, 18.9% and 6.1% of the Company's total
accounts receivable were associated with Federal Express and British Airways,
respectively. At December 31, 1996, 7.4% and 9.3% of the Company's total
accounts receivable were associated with Federal Express and the USCG,
respectively.

     Write-offs against accounts receivable have been one-twentieth of one
percent in 1998, and two-tenths of one percent in 1997. The Company can not
provide any assurance that such favorable bad debt experience will continue.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

     The Company's operations are subject to extensive and frequently
changing federal, state and local environmental laws and substantial related
regulation by government agencies, including the EPA, the California
Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Occupational Safety and
Health Administration. Among other matters, these regulatory authorities
impose requirements that regulate the operation, handling, transportation and
disposal of hazardous materials generated by the Company during the normal
course of its operations, govern the health and safety of the Company's
employees and require the Company to obtain and maintain permits in
connection with its operations. This extensive regulatory framework imposes
significant compliance burdens and risks on the Company and, as a result,
substantially affects its operational costs. In addition, the Company may
become liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous
substances released on or in its facilities without regard to whether the
Company knew of, or caused, the release of such substances. The Company
believes that it currently is in material compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and is not aware of any material environmental problem at any of
its current or former facilities. There can be no assurance, however, that
its prior activities did not create a material problem for which the Company
could be responsible or that future uses or conditions (including, without
limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulation, or an
increase in the amount of hazardous substances generated by the Company's
operations) will not result in material environmental liability to the
Company and materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition
and results of operations. The Company's plating operations, which use a
number of hazardous materials and generate

                                      6.
a significant volume of hazardous waste, increase the Company's regulatory
compliance burden and compound the risk that the Company may encounter a
material environmental problem in the future. Furthermore, compliance with
laws and regulations in foreign countries in which the Company locates its
operations may cause future increases in the Company's operating costs or
otherwise adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.

PRODUCT LIABILITY RISKS

     The Company's business exposes it to possible claims for personal
injury, death or property damage which may result from the failure or
malfunction of landing gears, hydromechanical components or aircraft spare
parts repaired or overhauled by the Company. Many factors beyond the
Company's control could lead to liability claims, including the failure of
the aircraft on which landing gear or hydromechanical components overhauled
by the Company is installed, the reliability of the customer's operators of
the aircraft and the maintenance of the aircraft by the customer. The Company
currently has in force aviation products liability and premises insurance,
which the Company believes provides coverage in amounts and on terms that are
generally consistent with industry practice. The Company has not experienced
any material product liability claims related to its products. There can be
no assurance that the amount of product liability insurance that the Company
carries at the time a product liability claim is be made will be sufficient
to protect the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

     The continued success of the Company depends to a large degree upon the
services of certain of its executive officers and upon the Company's ability
to attract and retain qualified managerial and technical personnel
experienced in the various operations of the Company's business. Loss of the
services of such employees, particularly David Lokken, President and Chief
Executive Officer; Philip Panzera, Executive Vice President; Dennis Biety,
Managing Director of Hawker Pacific Aerospace Ltd.; Brian Carr, Managing
Director of Sun Valley Operations; or Michael Riley, Vice President-Sales and
Marketing, could adversely affect the operations of the Company.

     The Company has entered into employment agreements expiring in 2001 with
Messrs. Lokken and Panzera, and 2003 with Mr. Biety. Messrs. Carr and Riley
have employment agreements with the Company which expire on October 31, 2000.

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH FACILITIES REORGANIZATION

     The Company's UK subsidiary has relocated to a new facility in 1999. The
Company believes it has moved the facility with a minimum of disruption,
although operations have been affected by the move.

     The Company is in the process of expanding its plating operations at its
Sun Valley facility. This expansion is not expected to be completed until
sometime in 2000. The plating shop of the UK operation is not scheduled to
move to the new facility until sometime in early 2000. Any failure or delay
in the expansion or relocation of these plating operations could impair the
Company's ability to service its customers.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in
miscalculation or system failures. The Company believes that its mainframe
database and operating systems are year 2000 compliant. However, certain of
the Company's software applications currently are coded using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company is systematically
modifying such software applications to be coded as four digits. In addition,
the Company is working with its external suppliers, vendors and service
providers to ensure that their systems will be able to support and interact
with the Company's server and network. The Company has not quantified the
total costs required to become year 2000 compliant, but does not expect such
costs to be material.

                                      7.
As of September 30, 1999, the total costs incurred to address the Company's
year 2000 issues have not been material. However, if the Company, its
customers or vendors are unable to resolve such processing issues in a timely
manner, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, the Company plans
to devote the necessary resources to becoming year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner.

                                      8.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     As of the date of this Prospectus, the authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock.

COMMON STOCK

     As of November 15, 1999, 5,822,222 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding, held of record by 34 registered shareholders. The holders of
Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders and may cumulate their votes
in the election of directors upon giving notice required by law. Subject to
preferences that may be applicable to any shares of Preferred Stock issued in
the future, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefore. See "Dividend Policy." The Company's shareholders
currently may cumulate their votes for the election of directors so long as
at least one shareholder has given notice at the meeting of shareholders
prior to the voting of that shareholder's desire to cumulate his or her
votes. Cumulative voting means that in any election of directors, each
shareholder may give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of
directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares held by such
shareholder, or such shareholder may distribute such number of votes among as
many candidates as the shareholder sees fit. Cumulative voting will no longer
be required or permitted under the Amended Articles at such time as (i) the
Company's shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq National Market and
the Company has at least 800 holders of its equity securities as of the
record date of the Company's most recent annual meeting of shareholders or
(ii) the Company's shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or the American Stock Exchange. At that time, the Company may divide
its Board into classes of directors. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably with the holders of any then outstanding Preferred
Stock in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the
liquidation preference of any then outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of
Common Stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their Common
Stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock are, and all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in the
initial public offering are, fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

     The Board of Directors has authority to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without
any future vote or action by the shareholders. The rights of the holders of
the Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the
rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company, thereby delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of the Company. Furthermore, such preferred stock may have
other rights, including economic rights senior to the common stock, and, as a
result, the issuance thereof could have a material adverse effect on the
market value of the Common Stock.

     In March 1999, the Company adopted a Rights Agreement and in connection
therewith, created a Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. No shares
of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

STOCK TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

     The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's Common Stock is U.S.
Stock Transfer Corporation, Glendale, California.

                                      10.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

     The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended
("Amended Articles") provide that, pursuant to the California Corporations
Code, the liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages
shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for
monetary damages in an action brought by, or in the right of, the Company for
breach of a director's duties to the Company or its shareholders. This
provision in the Amended Articles does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary
duty and does not apply for certain liabilities: (i) for acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of
law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to
the best interest of the Company or its shareholders or that involve the
absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or
omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
Company or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware,
or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's
duties, of a risk of serious injury to the Company or its shareholders; (v)
for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention
that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the Company or its
shareholders; (vi) with respect to certain transactions or the approval of
transactions in which a director has a material financial interest; and (vii)
expressly imposed by statute for approval of certain improper distributions
to shareholders or certain loans or guarantees. This provision also does not
limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any shareholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a
breach of a director's duty of care. The Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors to the
full extent permitted by law, including circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary. Among other things, the
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify directors and officers against
certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors and officers and allows the Company to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified.

     The Company believes that it is the position of the Commission that
insofar as the foregoing provision may be invoked to disclaim liability for
damages arising under the Securities Act, the provision is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Such limitation of liability also does not affect the availability of
equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements
("Indemnification Agreement(s)") with each of its directors and executive
officers. Each such Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will
indemnify the indemnitee against expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any civil or criminal action or
administrative proceeding arising out of the performance of his duties as a
director or officer, other than an action instituted by the director or
officer. Such indemnification is available if the indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Indemnification
Agreements require that the Company indemnify the director or other party
thereto in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each
Indemnification Agreement permits the director or officer that is party
thereto to bring suit to seek recovery of amounts due under the
Indemnification Agreement and to recover the expenses of such a suit if he is
successful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable. The Company believes that its Amended Articles and Bylaw
provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.

     The Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), indemnification provisions such as
the foregoing are against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and are therefore unenforceable with respect to claims arising under federal
securities laws.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended
("Amended Articles") provide that, pursuant to the California Corporations
Code, the liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages
shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for
monetary damages in an action brought by, or in the right of, the Company for

                                      13.
breach of a director's duties to the Company or its shareholders. This
provision in the Amended Articles does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary
duty and does not apply for certain liabilities: (i) for acts or omissions
that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of
law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to
the best interest of the Company or its shareholders or that involve the
absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or
omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
Company or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware,
or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's
duties, of a risk of serious injury to the Company or its shareholders; (v)
for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention
that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the Company or its
shareholders; (vi) with respect to certain transactions or the approval of
transactions in which a director has a material financial interest; and (vii)
expressly imposed by statute for approval of certain improper distributions
to shareholders or certain loans or guarantees. This provision also does not
limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any shareholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a
breach of a director's duty of care. The Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors to the
full extent permitted by law, including circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary. Among other things, the
Bylaws require the Company to indemnify directors and officers against
certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors and officers and allows the Company to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified.

     The Company believes that it is the position of the Commission that
insofar as the foregoing provision may be invoked to disclaim liability for
damages arising under the Securities Act, the provision is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Such limitation of liability also does not affect the availability of
equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements
("Indemnification Agreement(s)") with each of its directors and executive
officers. Each such Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will
indemnify the indemnitee against expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any civil or criminal action or
administrative proceeding arising out of the performance of his duties as a
director or officer, other than an action instituted by the director or
officer. Such indemnification is available if the indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Indemnification
Agreements require that the Company indemnify the director or other party
thereto in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each
Indemnification Agreement permits the director or officer that is party
thereto to bring suit to seek recovery of amounts due under the
Indemnification Agreement and to recover the expenses of such a suit if he is
successful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable. The Company believes that its Amended Articles and Bylaw
provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     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; 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 this Registration Statement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if 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
Exchange Act 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.

     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 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

                                      15.
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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      16.
