PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the Commission by Volu-Sol, Inc. (the
"Company") are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1999; and
(b) Description of the class of securities of the Company to be
offered, (incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement of the Company
previously filed, pursuant to which the class of Common Stock of the Company was
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to

reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date
of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 16-10a-841 and 16-10a-842 Revised Business Corporation Act of
Utah, together with Articles IV and V of the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company, provide for indemnification of the Company's directors, officers,
employees, fiduciaries or agents, subject to the Company's determination in each
instance that indemnification is in accordance with the standards set forth in
the Utah Law. The Company may purchase and maintain liability insurance on
behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or
agent of the Company against liability asserted against or incurred by him or
her in that capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer,
employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Company would have power to
indemnify him or her against the same liability under the provisions of the
Articles of Incorporation. See Articles IV and V of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, which are incorporated herein by reference and which qualify the
foregoing summary statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
4(a) Form of Stock Option Grant and Agreement between the Company
and certain directors, officers and employees of the Company.
4(b) Form of Stock Award Letter.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Company 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(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 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, 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes 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 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 the 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
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 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 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.
