INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents are incorporated by reference

(b) the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal

description. All reports and other documents filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
before the filing of a post-effective amendment which

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Certain legal matters relating to the shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company to be issued pursuant
to the PCD 1996 Eligible Directors Stock Plan have been passed
upon for the Company by Hill & Barlow, a Professional
Corporation, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts
02110.
The financial statements incorporated in this registration
statement by reference to the Registration Statement on

reliance on the report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.,

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law,
the Company's Articles of Organization include provisions
eliminating the personal liability of the Company's directors
for monetary damages resulting from certain breaches in their
fiduciary duty. These provisions do not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
for certain distributions in violation of the Company's
Articles of Organization, or authorized when the Company is
insolvent or in rendered insolvent by the making of such
<PAGE>
distribution, (iv) for certain loans to any officer or
director of the Company which are not repaid and which were
not approved or ratified by a majority of disinterested
directors, (v) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit and (vi) for duties and
obligations imposed on the Company's directors by federal
securities laws. Additionally, the Company's Articles of
Organization provide that the Company shall indemnify each
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other
agent of the Company, and each person who is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer,
employee or other agent of another organization in which it
directly or indirectly owns shares or of which it is directly
or indirectly a creditor, against all liabilities, costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by any such person in connection
with the defense or disposition of or otherwise in connection
with or resulting from any action, suit or other proceeding in
which they may be involved by reason of being or having been
such a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, or by
reason of any action taken or not taken in such capacity,
except with respect to any matter as to which such person
shall have been finally adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the
Company.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
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 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
<PAGE>
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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.
(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 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
