ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  The Company's Articles of Incorporation ("Articles") provide that, pursuant
to the California Corporations Code, the liability of the directors of the
Company for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under California law. This is intended to eliminate the personal
liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by, or in
the right of, the Company for breach of a director's duties to the Company or
its shareholders. This provision in the Articles does not eliminate the
directors' fiduciary duty and does not apply for certain liabilities: (i) for
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes
to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or its shareholders or
that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for
any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit;
(iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's
duty to the Company or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director
was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the Company or its
shareholders; (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern
of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
Company or its shareholders; (vi) with respect to certain transactions or the
approval of transactions in which a director has a material financial
interest; and (vii) expressly imposed by statute for approval of certain
improper distributions to shareholders or certain loans or guarantees. This
provision also does not limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any
shareholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in
the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
 
  Section 317 of the California Corporations Code ("Section 317") provides
that a California corporation may 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 proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than 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 or enterprise,
against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action or proceeding 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 proceeding, had no cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
  Section 317 also provides that a California corporation may 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 such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted under similar standards, except
that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of
liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for
such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
 
  Section 317 provides further that to the extent a director or officer of a
California corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in the previous paragraphs or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that
indemnification authorized by Section 317 shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or
officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or
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 liabilities under Section 317.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration
Statement provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of the Company and
its officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the
Securities Act or otherwise.
 
  The Company believes that it is the position of the Commission that insofar
as any of the foregoing provisions may be invoked to disclaim liability for
damages arising under the Securities Act, the provision is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. Such
limitation of liability also does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
  Except as set forth in this item, no securities of the Registrant have been
sold by the Registrant since January 1, 1994 without registration under the
Securities Act.
 
  In February 1994, the Company sold 900,000 shares of its Series A Preferred
Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,500,000 to a number of Taiwanese
investors and Taiwanese expatriates in the United States. The Company employed
the services of a private placement agent to whom it paid a placement fee of
5% in connection with this transaction.
 
  In March 1995, the Company's subsidiary, ATG Richland Corporation ("ATG
Richland"), sold 860,000 shares of its Series A Redeemable Non-Voting
Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,300,000 to a number of
Taiwanese investors and Taiwanese expatriates in the United States. The
Company employed the services of a private placement agent to whom it paid a
placement fee of 5% in connection with this transaction.
 
  In June 1996, ATG Richland sold 990,355 shares of its Series B Redeemable
Non-Voting Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,942,130 to a
number of Taiwanese investors and Taiwanese expatriates in the United States.
The Company employed the services of a private placement agent to whom it paid
a placement fee of 5% in connection with this transaction.
 
  In August 1997, ATG Richland sold 278,936 shares of its Series B Redeemable
Non-Voting Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,673,616 to a
number of Taiwanese investors and Taiwanese expatriates in the United States.
The Company employed the services of a private placement agent to whom it paid
a placement fee of 5% in connection with this transaction.
 
  Since January 1, 1994, the Company has issued options to purchase a total of
1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to a total of 45 officers, directors and
employees of the Company. The exercise price of the foregoing options granted
by the Company ranged from $0.10 to $7.50 per share.
 
                                     II-2
<PAGE>
 
  The Company believes that the issuances of preferred stock described above
were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, by
virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act ("Regulation S"). The Company believes that the issuances of
options described above were exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof or because the issuances of
such options did not involve the "sale," as such term is defined in Section
2(3) of the Securities Act, of a security.
 
  In March 1998, the Company sought and received shareholder approval to amend
its Articles of Incorporation and those of ATG Richland to modify the terms of
the conversion rights attached to the Preferred Stock authorized to be issued
by each such entity. The Company did not pay or give, directly or indirectly,
any commission or other remuneration in connection with seeking such approval.
The Company believes that any offer and sale of Common Stock deemed to occur
in connection with the modification of such rights was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9)
thereof and/or Regulation S.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
Underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  (b) 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 of
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.
 
  (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
  the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
  of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
