     The following documents are incorporated by reference into this

     (a)  The Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on June 28, 1996 pursuant to Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

     (b)  The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for the quarter ended

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As an Oregon corporation the Company is subject to the Oregon Business
Corporation Act ("OBCA") and the exculpation from liability and indemnification
provisions contained therein.  Pursuant to Section 60.047(2)(d) of the OBCA,
Article IV of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles")
eliminates the liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its
shareholders, except for any liability related to breach of the duty of loyalty,


                                       -2-

<PAGE>

actions not in good faith and certain other liabilities.  Article V of the
Articles requires the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law.

     Section 60.387, ET SEQ., of the OBCA allows corporations to indemnify their
directors and officers against liability where the director or officer has acted
in good faith and with a reasonable belief that actions taken were in the best
interests of the corporation or at least not adverse to the corporation's best
interests and, if in a criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct in question was unlawful.  Under the OBCA,
corporations may not indemnify against liability in connection with a claim by
or in the right of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged
liable to the corporation, but may indemnify against the reasonable expenses
associated with such claims.  Corporations may not indemnify against breaches of
the duty of loyalty.  The OBCA mandates indemnification against all reasonable
expenses incurred in the successful defense of any claim made or threatened
whether or not such claim was by or in the right of the corporation.  Finally, a
court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
circumstances whether or not the director or officer  met the good faith and
reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in the statute.

     The OBCA also provides that the statutory indemnification provisions are
not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors or officers may be
entitled under a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, any
agreement, general or specific action of the board of directors, vote of
shareholders or otherwise.

     Effective as of March 22, 1996, the Company entered into indemnity
agreements with Gary P. Arnold, Dr. Martin Vlach, Robert L. Cattoi, John H.
Faehndrich, Neil E. Goldschmidt, Frank Roehr and Charles E. Spork, each of whom
is a member of the Board of Directors (Messrs. Arnold and Vlach are also
officers of the Company).  Effective as of March 22, 1996, the Company also
entered into indemnity agreements with Terence A. Rixford, R. Douglas Johnson,
David W. Smith, Dr. Ian E. Getreu, Douglas L. Goodman, Marcy L. Edwards and
Douglas H. Lundin, each of whom is an officer of the Company.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

    23.1    Consent of Ater Wynne Hewitt Dodson & Skerritt, LLP (included in 
            legal opinion filed as Exhibit 5.0)

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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;

          (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 subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed 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.

     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
determining 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.


                                       -4-

<PAGE>

     (c)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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.

     (d)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.

     (e)  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 a director, officer or controlling person in
connection with 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.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Beaverton, State of Oregon, on this 20th day of May,
1997.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As an Oregon corporation the Company is subject to the Oregon Business
Corporation Act ("OBCA") and the exculpation from liability and indemnification
provisions contained therein.  Pursuant to Section 60.047(2)(d) of the OBCA,
Article IV of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles")
eliminates the liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its
shareholders, except for any liability related to breach of the duty of loyalty,

                                       -2-
actions not in good faith and certain other liabilities.  Article V of the
Articles requires the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law.

     Section 60.387, ET SEQ., of the OBCA allows corporations to indemnify their
directors and officers against liability where the director or officer has acted
in good faith and with a reasonable belief that actions taken were in the best
interests of the corporation or at least not adverse to the corporation's best
interests and, if in a criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct in question was unlawful.  Under the OBCA,
corporations may not indemnify against liability in connection with a claim by
or in the right of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged
liable to the corporation, but may indemnify against the reasonable expenses
associated with such claims.  Corporations may not indemnify against breaches of
the duty of loyalty.  The OBCA mandates indemnification against all reasonable
expenses incurred in the successful defense of any claim made or threatened
whether or not such claim was by or in the right of the corporation.  Finally, a
court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant
circumstances whether or not the director or officer  met the good faith and
reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in the statute.

     The OBCA also provides that the statutory indemnification provisions are
not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors or officers may be
entitled under a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, any
agreement, general or specific action of the board of directors, vote of
shareholders or otherwise.

     Effective as of March 22, 1996, the Company entered into indemnity
agreements with Gary P. Arnold, Dr. Martin Vlach, Robert L. Cattoi, John H.
Faehndrich, Neil E. Goldschmidt, Frank Roehr and Charles E. Spork, each of whom
is a member of the Board of Directors (Messrs. Arnold and Vlach are also
officers of the Company).  Effective as of March 22, 1996, the Company also
entered into indemnity agreements with Terence A. Rixford, R. Douglas Johnson,
David W. Smith, Dr. Ian E. Getreu, Douglas L. Goodman, Marcy L. Edwards and
Douglas H. Lundin, each of whom is an officer of the Company.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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;

          (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 subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed 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.

     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
determining 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.

                                       -4-
(c)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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.

     (d)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.

     (e)  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 a director, officer or controlling person in
connection with 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.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Beaverton, State of Oregon, on this 20th day of May,
1997.
