Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Under Title 30,  Section  30-1-5 of the Idaho Code and Article  XIII of the
Registrant's By-Laws, the Registrant's directors and officers may be indemnified
against certain  liabilities  which they may incur in their  capacities as such.
The Registrant also has an officers' and directors'  liability insurance policy.
Article XIII of the Registrant's By-Laws provides as follows:

          (a). The corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
     or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
     action, suit or proceedings,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative,  or
     investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
     by reason of the fact that he is or was a  Director,  officer,  employee or
     agent  of the  corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of the
     corporation  as  a  Director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
     corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
     expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,  fines and amounts paid in
     settlement  actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
     action,  suit or  proceedings  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
     reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best  interests  of the
     corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings,  had
     no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
     any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,  conviction,
     or upon a plea of nolo contendee or its  equivalent,  shall not, of itself,
     create a  presumption  that the  person  did not act in good faith and in a
     manner  which he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not opposed to the best
     interests of the  corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or
     proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

          (b). A corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
     is  threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed
     action or suit by or in the right of the  corporation to procure a judgment
     in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a  Director,  officer,
 

                                       3

<PAGE>

     employee or agent of the  corporation,  or is or was serving at the request
     of the  corporation  as a Director,  officer,  employee or agent of another
     corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
     expenses  (including  attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably  incurred by
     him in connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
     he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed to be in or
     not opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation  and except that no
     indemnification  shall be made in respect of any claim,  issue or matter as
     to which such person shall have been  adjudged to be liable for  negligence
     or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation  unless and
     only to the extent  that the court in which such action or suit was brought
     shall  determine  upon  application  that,   despite  the  adjudication  of
     liability  but in view of all  circumstances  of the case,  such  person is
     fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity for such expenses  which such
     court shall deem proper.

          (c). To the extent that a  Director,  officer,  employee or agent of a
     corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or otherwise in defense of
     any  action,  suit or  proceeding  referred  to in  subsections  (a) or (b)
     hereof,  or in defense of any claim,  issue or matter therein,  he shall be
     indemnified  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  actually and
     reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

          (d). Any indemnification  under subsections (a) or (b) of this section
     (unless  ordered  by a  court)  shall  be made by the  corporation  only as
     authorized in the specific case upon a determination  that  indemnification
     of the Director,  officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
     because  he has met  the  applicable  standard  of  conduct  set  forth  in
     subsections (a) or (b). Such  determination  shall be made (1) by the Board
     of Directors by a majority  vote of a quorum  consisting  of Directors  who
     were not  parties  to such  action,  suit or  proceeding,  or (2) if such a
     quorum is not obtainable,  or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested
     Directors,  so directs,  by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
     or (3) by the shareholders.

          (e).  Expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  incurred in defending a
     civil or criminal action,  suit or proceeding be paid by the corporation in
     advance of the final  disposition  of such action,  suit or  proceeding  as
     authorized  in the manner  provided in  subsection  (d) upon  receipt of an
     undertaking by or on behalf of the Director,  officer, employee or agent to
     repay such  amount  unless it shall  ultimately  be  determined  that he is
     entitled  to be  indemnified  by the  corporation  as  authorized  in  this
     section.

          (f). The indemnification  provided by this section shall not be deemed
     exclusive  of any other rights to which those  indemnified  may be entitled
     under  any  by-law,   agreement,  vote  of  shareholders  or  disinterested
     Directors or otherwise,  both as to action in his official  capacity and as
     to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue


                                       4

<PAGE>

     as to a person who has ceased to be a Director,  officer, employee or agent
     and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors and  administrators
     of such a person.

          (g). The corporation may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of
     any  person who is or was a  Director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the
     corporation,  or is or was  serving  at  the  request  of the  corporation,
     partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
     asserted  against him and  incurred by him in any such  capacity or arising
     out of his status as such,  whether or not the  corporation  would have the
     power to indemnify him against such liability  under the provisions of this
     section;  provided  that banks,  savings and loan  associations  and credit
     unions  chartered  under  the  laws  of the  State  of  Idaho  may  provide
     indemnification only by insurance.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     1. The Company hereby undertakes:


                                       5
<PAGE>

          (a) 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;

               (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)(i) and (a)(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 by the Company  pursuant to
Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that  are  incorporated  by
reference in the Registration Statement.

          (b) 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.

          (c) 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.

     2. The Company hereby  undertakes  that, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report
pursuant  to  Section  13(a)  or  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.

     3. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the SEC 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  Company of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,  suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such  director,  officer or controlling  person in


                                       6

<PAGE>


connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Under Title 30,  Section  30-1-5 of the Idaho Code and Article  XIII of the
Registrant's By-Laws, the Registrant's directors and officers may be indemnified
against certain  liabilities  which they may incur in their  capacities as such.
The Registrant also has an officers' and directors'  liability insurance policy.
Article XIII of the Registrant's By-Laws provides as follows:

          (a). The corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
     or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
     action, suit or proceedings,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative,  or
     investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
     by reason of the fact that he is or was a  Director,  officer,  employee or
     agent  of the  corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of the
     corporation  as  a  Director,   officer,   employee  or  agent  of  another
     corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
     expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,  fines and amounts paid in
     settlement  actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
     action,  suit or  proceedings  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
     reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best  interests  of the
     corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings,  had
     no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
     any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,  conviction,
     or upon a plea of nolo contendee or its  equivalent,  shall not, of itself,
     create a  presumption  that the  person  did not act in good faith and in a
     manner  which he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not opposed to the best
     interests of the  corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or
     proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

          (b). A corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
     is  threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed
     action or suit by or in the right of the  corporation to procure a judgment
     in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a  Director,  officer,
 

                                       3
employee or agent of the  corporation,  or is or was serving at the request
     of the  corporation  as a Director,  officer,  employee or agent of another
     corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
     expenses  (including  attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably  incurred by
     him in connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
     he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed to be in or
     not opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation  and except that no
     indemnification  shall be made in respect of any claim,  issue or matter as
     to which such person shall have been  adjudged to be liable for  negligence
     or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation  unless and
     only to the extent  that the court in which such action or suit was brought
     shall  determine  upon  application  that,   despite  the  adjudication  of
     liability  but in view of all  circumstances  of the case,  such  person is
     fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity for such expenses  which such
     court shall deem proper.

          (c). To the extent that a  Director,  officer,  employee or agent of a
     corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or otherwise in defense of
     any  action,  suit or  proceeding  referred  to in  subsections  (a) or (b)
     hereof,  or in defense of any claim,  issue or matter therein,  he shall be
     indemnified  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  actually and
     reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

          (d). Any indemnification  under subsections (a) or (b) of this section
     (unless  ordered  by a  court)  shall  be made by the  corporation  only as
     authorized in the specific case upon a determination  that  indemnification
     of the Director,  officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
     because  he has met  the  applicable  standard  of  conduct  set  forth  in
     subsections (a) or (b). Such  determination  shall be made (1) by the Board
     of Directors by a majority  vote of a quorum  consisting  of Directors  who
     were not  parties  to such  action,  suit or  proceeding,  or (2) if such a
     quorum is not obtainable,  or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested
     Directors,  so directs,  by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
     or (3) by the shareholders.

          (e).  Expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  incurred in defending a
     civil or criminal action,  suit or proceeding be paid by the corporation in
     advance of the final  disposition  of such action,  suit or  proceeding  as
     authorized  in the manner  provided in  subsection  (d) upon  receipt of an
     undertaking by or on behalf of the Director,  officer, employee or agent to
     repay such  amount  unless it shall  ultimately  be  determined  that he is
     entitled  to be  indemnified  by the  corporation  as  authorized  in  this
     section.

          (f). The indemnification  provided by this section shall not be deemed
     exclusive  of any other rights to which those  indemnified  may be entitled
     under  any  by-law,   agreement,  vote  of  shareholders  or  disinterested
     Directors or otherwise,  both as to action in his official  capacity and as
     to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue

                                       4
as to a person who has ceased to be a Director,  officer, employee or agent
     and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,  executors and  administrators
     of such a person.

          (g). The corporation may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of
     any  person who is or was a  Director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the
     corporation,  or is or was  serving  at  the  request  of the  corporation,
     partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
     asserted  against him and  incurred by him in any such  capacity or arising
     out of his status as such,  whether or not the  corporation  would have the
     power to indemnify him against such liability  under the provisions of this
     section;  provided  that banks,  savings and loan  associations  and credit
     unions  chartered  under  the  laws  of the  State  of  Idaho  may  provide
     indemnification only by insurance.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     1. The Company hereby undertakes:

                                       5
(a) 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;

               (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)(i) and (a)(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 by the Company  pursuant to
Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that  are  incorporated  by
reference in the Registration Statement.

          (b) 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.

          (c) 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.

     2. The Company hereby  undertakes  that, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report
pursuant  to  Section  13(a)  or  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.

     3. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the SEC 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  Company of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,  suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such  director,  officer or controlling  person in

                                       6
connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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.
