with the amendments thereto on Forms 10-Q/A for both the March 31, 1999 and June
30, 1999 quarters filed on September 21, 1999;

     c.   All other documents filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), since the end of the
1998 fiscal year covered by the Annual Reports referred to in (a) above; and

     d.   Our Registration Statement No. 0-23562 on Form 8-A filed with the
Commission on March 3, 1994, in which there is described the terms, rights and
provisions applicable to our outstanding Common Stock.

     All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          -------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

          The California General Corporation Law provides that directors will
not be personally liable to us for monetary damages arising from a breach of
their fiduciary duty to us as directors, including such conduct during a merger
or tender offer, in certain circumstances. Such limitation does not affect
liability for any breach of a director's duty to us or our shareholders (i) with
respect to approval by the director of any transaction from which he or she
derives an improper personal benefit, (ii) with respect to acts or omissions
involving an absence of good faith, that he or she believes to be contrary to
the best interests of us or our shareholders, that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, that constitute an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of his or her
duty us or our shareholders, or that show a reckless disregard for his or her
duty to us or our shareholders in circumstances in which he or she was, or
should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties,
of a risk of serious injury to us or our shareholders, or (iii) based on
transactions between us and our directors or another corporation with
interrelated directors or on improper distributions, loans, or guarantees under
applicable sections of the California Corporations Code. Such limitations of
liability also do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as
injunctive relief or rescission, although in certain circumstances equitable
relief may not be available as a practical matter. The limitation may relieve
the directors of monetary liability to us for grossly negligent conduct,
including conduct in situations involving attempted takeovers. No claim or
litigation is currently pending against our directors that would be affected by
the limitation of liability.

          Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a court to
award, or 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 (the "1933 Act").
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide for
indemnification of our directors and officers and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by the California Corporations Code.  We also maintain
insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers that insures such
persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the securities
laws.  We have entered into an indemnification agreement with all of our
directors and officers whereby we will reimburse our directors and officers
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the securities
laws.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

(1)       Incorporated by reference to the exhibit bearing the same number filed
          with the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on
          February 25, 1998.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

          A.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 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, 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 the Registration
Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference
into the Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any
liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement

                                      II-3
<PAGE>

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; and
(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
Registrant's 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.

     B.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into 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 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 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 1933 Act, and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 San Diego, State of California, on this 29th of
November, 1999.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):

     a.   Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,

     b.   Our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended

on May 14, 1999, August 16, 1999 and September 21, 1999, respectively, together
with the amendments thereto on Forms 10-Q/A for both the March 31, 1999 and June
30, 1999 quarters filed on September 21, 1999;

     c.   All other documents filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), since the end of the
1998 fiscal year covered by the Annual Reports referred to in (a) above; and

     d.   Our Registration Statement No. 0-23562 on Form 8-A filed with the
Commission on March 3, 1994, in which there is described the terms, rights and
provisions applicable to our outstanding Common Stock.

     All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 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 hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a

                                      II-1
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement
to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed
document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
Registration Statement.

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          -------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

          The California General Corporation Law provides that directors will
not be personally liable to us for monetary damages arising from a breach of
their fiduciary duty to us as directors, including such conduct during a merger
or tender offer, in certain circumstances. Such limitation does not affect
liability for any breach of a director's duty to us or our shareholders (i) with
respect to approval by the director of any transaction from which he or she
derives an improper personal benefit, (ii) with respect to acts or omissions
involving an absence of good faith, that he or she believes to be contrary to
the best interests of us or our shareholders, that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, that constitute an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of his or her
duty us or our shareholders, or that show a reckless disregard for his or her
duty to us or our shareholders in circumstances in which he or she was, or
should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties,
of a risk of serious injury to us or our shareholders, or (iii) based on
transactions between us and our directors or another corporation with
interrelated directors or on improper distributions, loans, or guarantees under
applicable sections of the California Corporations Code. Such limitations of
liability also do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as
injunctive relief or rescission, although in certain circumstances equitable
relief may not be available as a practical matter. The limitation may relieve
the directors of monetary liability to us for grossly negligent conduct,
including conduct in situations involving attempted takeovers. No claim or
litigation is currently pending against our directors that would be affected by
the limitation of liability.

          Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a court to
award, or 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 (the "1933 Act").
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide for
indemnification of our directors and officers and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by the California Corporations Code.  We also maintain
insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers that insures such
persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the securities
laws.  We have entered into an indemnification agreement with all of our
directors and officers whereby we will reimburse our directors and officers
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the securities
laws.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

(1)       Incorporated by reference to the exhibit bearing the same number filed
          with the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on
          February 25, 1998.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

          A.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 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, 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 the Registration
Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference
into the Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any
liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement

                                      II-3
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; and
(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
Registrant's 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.

     B.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is
incorporated by reference into 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 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 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 1933 Act, and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                  SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 San Diego, State of California, on this 29th of
November, 1999.
