                              PART II

        INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

     The following documents are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement:

    (a)  The registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
          ended December 31, 2000.

    (b)  The registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
          quarter ended March 31, 2001.

    (c)  The description of the registrant's class of Common Stock
          which is registered under Section 12 of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
          which description is set forth in Item 1 of the
          registration statement on Form 8-A filed under the
          Exchange Act on May 8, 1984, and updated in reports on
          Form 8-K dated May 9, 1988 and May 6, 1992.

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

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of the
securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the registrant by
Miller & Holguin, attorneys at law, Los Angeles, California.

     The financial statements incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference to the registrant's annual report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been so incorporated in
reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in
auditing and accounting.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
the registrant's Board of Directors to indemnify any person against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his
being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the
registrant, in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant
to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of
indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.

     The registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification
of directors and officers of the registrant, and those serving at
the request of the registrant as directors, officers, employees, or
agents of other entities (collectively, "Agents"), to the maximum
extent permitted by law.  The Bylaws provide that such
indemnification (other than in an action by or in the right of the
registrant) shall be a contract right between each Agent and the
registrant.

     The registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director of the registrant shall not be personally liable to the
registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.  The registrant has also purchased a liability
insurance policy, which insures its directors and officers against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a)  (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;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement.

          (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 Exchange Act 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.

     (b)  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
Securities 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 Securities 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

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of Santa Monica, State of California, on the 27th day of June,

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of the

Miller & Holguin, attorneys at law, Los Angeles, California.

     The financial statements incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference to the registrant's annual report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been so incorporated in
reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
the registrant's Board of Directors to indemnify any person against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his
being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the
registrant, in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant
to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of
indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.

     The registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification
of directors and officers of the registrant, and those serving at
the request of the registrant as directors, officers, employees, or
agents of other entities (collectively, "Agents"), to the maximum
extent permitted by law.  The Bylaws provide that such
indemnification (other than in an action by or in the right of the
registrant) shall be a contract right between each Agent and the
registrant.

     The registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director of the registrant shall not be personally liable to the
registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.  The registrant has also purchased a liability
insurance policy, which insures its directors and officers against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a)  (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;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement.

          (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 Exchange Act 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.

     (b)  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
Securities 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 Securities 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

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of Santa Monica, State of California, on the 27th day of June,
2001.
