Exchange Commission:

16, 1995, and the Company's Form 10-Q/A filed October 18, 1995, 
filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

   3.  The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in  
the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed August 16,

   All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13, 14  
and 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration 
Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which 
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors or Officers.
                              
   Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act

to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit  
such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities

Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Article IX of the Company's 
Bylaws provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, 
employees and other agents to the extent permitted by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act.  The Company has entered into
indemnification agreements with its officers and directors
which provide the Company's officers and directors with further  
indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

  (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

       (1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement.

       (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

       (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing  of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in 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 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
that 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 actions, 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.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors or Officers.
                              
   Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act
authorizes a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnity 
to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit  
such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities 
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Article IX of the Company's 
Bylaws provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, 
employees and other agents to the extent permitted by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act.  The Company has entered into
indemnification agreements with its officers and directors
which provide the Company's officers and directors with further  
indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

  (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

       (1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement.

       (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

       (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing  of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in 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 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
that 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 actions, 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.
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 registrant
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Nampa, State of
Idaho, on this 25th day of October, 1995.
