                             AVAILABLE INFORMATION

               The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     (the "Commission") a Registration Statement on Form S-2 (the "Registration
     Statement," which term shall include all amendments, exhibits, annexes and
     schedules thereto) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
     "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
     covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock being offered hereby (the
     "Shares").  This Prospectus does not contain all the information set forth
     in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in
     accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission, and to which
     reference is hereby made.  Statements made in this Prospectus as to the

                                  RISK FACTORS

               In addition to the other information contained in this
     Prospectus, the prospective purchaser of the Common Stock offered hereby
     should carefully consider the following factors:

     ABSENCE OF PROFITABLE OPERATING HISTORY

               The Company was incorporated in Delaware in November 1981 and, to
     date, its sales revenues have not been sufficient to cover operating costs.
     The Company has not made a profit since its incorporation in 1981, and has
     accumulated a net loss through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 of
     approximately $33 million.  The Company's operations have been financed by
     a series of equity sales, and there can be no assurance that the Company
     will be able to obtain such financing in the future or that the Company
     will become profitable and able to finance its operations through operating
     revenues.

     CURRENT WORKING CAPITAL SHORTFALL

               As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of
     approximately $850,000.  Notwithstanding the refinancing of the Company's
     bank debt during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company continues to
     have a substantial working capital deficiency and, in the past, was at
     times unable to pay certain managerial and executive employees and meet
     other obligations.  Therefore, while the Company's liquidity has been
     significantly improved from its position in the last few years, the
     Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon its ability
     to generate positive cash flow from operations and/or raise additional
     funds.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
     additional funds (or that if such funds are available that they will be
     available at an acceptable cost), or generate cash flow from operations.
     Furthermore, any funds raised through the issuance of equity will dilute
     the Company's outstanding equity.  In addition, while the Company's recent
     refinancing included a $1.135 million five-year term loan, the Company's
     lender has the contractual right to require full repayment of such loan at
     any time upon demand.

     RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS
 
               On June 28, 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of
     certain assets comprising Raychem Corporation's nickel-titanium product
     line (the "Raychem Acquisition").  Sales of the acquired business in fiscal
     1996 significantly exceeded the Company's consolidated sales on a stand-
     alone basis.  As is the case in most instances where a small business
     acquires a larger one, the Company's ability to successfully operate the
     acquired business will depend on many factors, including management's
     ability to integrate the acquired business and personnel with the Company's
     prior operations and work force, the ability of Raychem Corporation, as the
     acquired business's exclusive distributor for most applications, to
     generate end user demand for the acquired business's products, and
     management's ability to operate the acquired business with substantially
     less overhead than was used by Raychem.  There can be no assurances that
     the Company will be able to operate the acquired business successfully.

               In addition, the Company intends to continue to pursue potential
     acquisitions in the future as a means of growth.  The Company's ability to
     expand successfully by acquisition depends on many factors, including those
     described in the preceding paragraph with respect to the Raychem
     Acquisition, the ability to identify potential targets and the
     consideration paid to effect any such acquisitions.  The consummation of
     any such future acquisitions, as well as the diversion of the attention of
     the Company's management to effect any such acquisitions and integrate the
     acquired operations with the Company, could have an adverse effect on the
     Company's operations and financial results in the future.

     REQUIREMENT OF CONNECTICUT PRESENCE; CII PUT RIGHTS

               Due to the various agreements that the Company has entered into
     with Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated ("CII" or "Selling
     Stockholder"), the Company is required to transact certain portions of its
     operations within the State of Connecticut.  Specifically, the Company must
     (a) maintain its corporation headquarters and all of its product business
     operations in the State of Connecticut, (including, after January 1, 1997,
     the assembly of all products to be sold to the U.S. Surgical Corporation),
     excluding business operations relating to the production by the Company's
     subsidiary, Wright Machine Corporation ("Wright"), of screw machine
     products and taper pins and the Company's components and sub-assembly
     business acquired from Raychem Corporation, (b) base its president and
     chief executive officer, a majority of its senior executives, and all of
     its administrative, financial, research and development, marketing and
     customer service staff relating to its product business (subject to the
     same inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)) in the State of Connecticut,
     (c) conduct all of its operations relating to its product business directly
     or through subcontractors and through licensed operations in the State of
     Connecticut (subject to the same inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)),
     and (d) maintain its principal bank accounts with banks located in the
     State of Connecticut, excluding all banks associated with Wright.  While
     the aforesaid restrictions have not to date adversely affected the
     Company's competitiveness and/or the ability of the Company to enter into
     material transactions with other parties, there can be no assurances that
     they will not have such effect in the future.  If the Company defaults on
     any of these requirements, as well as other requirements set forth in the
     agreements with CII, CII may exercise its right to "put" to the Company
     certain securities of the Company that it owns.  See "Selling Stockholder."
     Using $2.00 per share as the put price per share, the aggregate put price
     that would have to be paid by the Company if the put were exercised would
     be approximately $4,085,500. Such a put could significantly and adversely
     effect the Company's liquidity.

     DEVELOPING MARKET AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE

               The market for the Company's shape memory alloy ("SMA") products
     is relatively new and still developing, and is subject to technological
     change.  The future financial performance of the Company will depend in
     part on the development and continuing growth of this market.  There can be
     no assurances that many of the Company's products will gain market
     acceptance.  Current or new competitors may introduce new products that
     could adversely affect the Company's competitive position.  The Company
     believes that, to remain competitive, it must continue to improve its
     products and develop and successfully market new products.  There can be no
     assurance that the Company will be able to do so.  The success of new
     products depends on a variety of factors, including understanding market
     needs and being able to develop products that solve such needs.  There can
     be no assurances that the Company will be able to identify new product
     opportunities successfully and develop and bring to market such new
     products or that the Company will be able to respond effectively to
     technological changes or new products developed by competitors.

     EFFECT OF POSSIBLE COMPETITION

               The Company expects that competition will intensify in the SMA
     field as the technology becomes more widely known.  A small number of U.S.,
     Belgian and Japanese companies pose a potential source of competition in
     SMA materials and products.  Some of these companies, and other potential
     competitors, have considerably greater financial and marketing resources
     than the Company, and have (or have the ability to acquire) considerable
     technical resources.

     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RISKS

               The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to
     obtain and maintain patent protection for its products, to preserve its
     trade secrets and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights
     of third parties.  The Company attempts to protect its technology by, among
     other things, investing in obtaining and maintaining patents, trademarks
     and trade secrets.  Although the Company has never been party to litigation
     involving its technology, the SMA industry has produced disputes over
     intellectual property rights which have resulted in

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
     significant and expensive litigation.  Any assertions of intellectual
     property claims could require the Company to cease the manufacture and sale
     of infringing products, to incur significant litigation costs and to
     develop non-infringing technology or acquire licenses to the alleged
     infringed technology.  There can be no assurance that the Company would be
     able to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms or to develop non-
     infringing technology.  In addition, there can be no assurance that any of
     the Company's patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented
     or that rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to
     the Company.  Furthermore, the laws of certain countries do not protect the
     Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of
     the United States.

     DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

               The Company's success depends, in large part, upon a small number
     of key managerial, engineering and technical personnel, and the loss of
     certain key personnel could have an adverse effect on the Company's
     business.  The Company has obtained key personnel life insurance for its
     President in the amount of $2,200,000 ($500,000 of which has been
     collaterally assigned to the Company's lenders).

     EXISTENCE OF CONSENT DECREE

               On February 22, 1989, the Company entered into a consent decree
     (the "Consent Decree") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "SEC") in order to settle litigation brought by the Commission alleging
     that the Company made false and/or misleading statements in the
     registration statement relating to the Company's initial public offering,
     in a series of press releases, in selling materials in connection with a
     private placement of securities to foreign institutions and in a
     registration statement with respect to a secondary shelf offering.  While
     certain portions of the Consent Decree have expired, the Company has in the
     past failed to comply with the requirement that it timely file all of its
     Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB.  It
     cannot be clear what, if any, effect such violations of the Consent Decree
     may have upon the Company.

     DIVIDENDS NOT LIKELY

               For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings (if
     any) will be used to finance the operations of the Company and that
     dividends will not be paid.  The Company's loan agreement with its
     principal lenders prohibits the payment of dividends.

     SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS

               As of October 1, 1996, the Company's directors and executive
     officers beneficially owned in the aggregate approximately 17% of the
     Company's Common Stock.  In addition, three institutional European
     investors beneficially owned 25.4%, 8.5% and 7.4% of the Company's Common
     Stock, respectively, Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated beneficially
     owned approximately 16% of the Company's Common Stock and Raychem
     Corporation beneficially owned 12.5% of the Company's Common Stock.
     (Because of the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules on calculating
     beneficial ownership percentages, the percentage of the Company's Common
     Stock beneficially owned by all of such parties combined would be
     substantially less than if the aforesaid percentages were merely added
     together but would still constitute approximately 70% of the Company's
     outstanding Common Stock).  This concentration of Common Stock in the hands
     of a small number of individuals and entities means that there may be
     little chance for other stockholders to influence the business and affairs
     of the Company by the exercise of voting rights.  Furthermore, the
     aforesaid concentration in shares may cause extreme fluctuations in the
     trading volume of the Company's Common Stock in a given period, which in
     turn may cause the Company's Common Stock to suffer market price
     fluctuations without regard to the Company's operating results.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
     NO CUMULATIVE VOTING

               The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the
     "Certificate of Incorporation"), does not provide for cumulative voting.
     Therefore, holders of less than a majority of the Company's outstanding
     Common Stock have no right to elect any of the Company's directors.

     POSSIBLE EFFECT OF ADDITIONAL PREFERRED STOCK ISSUANCES

               The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company authorizes the
     issuance of up to 100,000 shares of preferred stock, $100 par value per
     share ("Preferred Stock").  The Board of Directors is authorized to issue
     shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and,
     subject to the limitations contained in the Certificate of Incorporation
     and any limitations prescribed by law, to establish and designate series
     and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights,
     voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund
     provisions) and liquidation preferences of each such series.  Currently, no
     Preferred Stock is outstanding.  If shares of Preferred Stock are issued,
     such issuance could adversely affect the voting rights of the holders of
     the Company's Common Stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares
     having voting rights, or by the creation of class or series voting rights,
     and, if such shares have conversion rights, could increase the number of
     shares of Common Stock outstanding.  In addition, shares of Preferred Stock
     could have preferences with respect to dividend and liquidation rights.
     The Company has no present plans to issue additional Preferred Stock.

     LIQUIDITY OF STOCK

               The Company was de-listed from the National Association of
     Securities Dealers Automated System ("NASDAQ") in November of 1992 due to
     the Company not meeting various requirements of NASDAQ.  The Company's
     Common Stock is currently trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Thus, only
     bid and asked prices between dealers (rather than sales prices) are
     currently available with respect to the Common Stock.  The fact that the
     Company is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on NASDAQ or an
     exchange could have the effect of significantly reducing news coverage of
     the Company and might cause the market price of the Common Stock to be
     lower than it otherwise would be.  Although the Company intends to apply
     for listing on NASDAQ as soon as possible, it currently would not qualify
     to be so listed.  Thus, holders of the Common Stock might not realize the
     extent of liquidity as they might were the stock listed on NASDAQ or a
     national securities exchange.

     BROKER-DEALER SALES OF COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK

               The Company's Common Stock is covered by a rule under the
     Exchange Act that imposes additional requirements on broker-dealers who
     sell such "penny stock" to, or effect the purchase of such "penny stock"
     by, any person in a transaction in which the purchaser is not an
     established customer, that does not meet the requirements of Rule 505 or
     Rule 506 under the Securities Act, that does not fall within Section 4(2)
     under the Securities Act or that is not exempt under Rule 15g-1 of the
     Exchange Act.  For transactions covered by the rule, prior to the
     transaction the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination
     for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser's written agreement
     to the transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the rule may affect
     the ability of the broker-dealers to sell the Company's Common Stock and
     also may affect the ability of any purchaser in this Offering to sell its
     shares in the secondary market.

     DILUTION

               As of October 1, 1996, there were outstanding warrants to
     purchase 5,745,368 shares of Common Stock of the Company at exercise prices
     ranging from $0.01 per share to $7.40 per share and options to purchase
     575,500 shares at an exercise price of from $0.90 per share to $1.59 per
     share.  In the event of a substantial increase in the market value of the
     Company's Common Stock, it is likely that many or all of those warrants and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
     options would be exercised.  Since the exercise prices would be likely to
     be less than the market value of the Common Stock, the market value of each
     share of Common Stock would be reduced by any such exercise, and holders of
     Common Stock would to that extent suffer a dilution of the value of their
     Common Stock.  In addition, the Company's Board of Directors has approved,
     subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders, an amendment to the
     Memry Corporation Stock Option Plan that would increase the number of
     shares issuable thereunder from 600,000 to 1,100,000.


                                USE OF PROCEEDS

               The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
     the Shares. However, the Company would receive the exercise prices payable
     upon issuance of the 2,087,935 shares of Common Stock eligible for sale
     hereunder which underlie warrants issued to CII.  If all of these warrants
     are exercised at their current exercise prices, the Company will receive
     $1,998,457 in proceeds from the exercise thereof.  The Company will use the
     proceeds from exercise of these warrants for general working capital
     purposes.  The principal reason for the Offering is to satisfy certain
     contractual obligations to CII.  See "Selling Stockholder."


                              SELLING STOCKHOLDER

               An aggregate of up to 3,041,963 shares of Common Stock may be
     offered by CII, the Selling Stockholder.  Because the Selling Stockholder
     may offer from time to time some or all of the Shares that it holds
     (including Shares issuable upon exercise of certain securities), no
     estimate can be given as to the amount of Shares that will be offered for
     sale by the Selling Stockholder hereunder at any particular time.  The
     following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Selling
     Stockholder for which the Company is registering Shares for resale to the
     public.  The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
     such Shares.  However, the Company would receive an aggregate of $1,998,457
     in proceeds from the exercise of 2,087,935 shares of Common Stock eligible
     for sale hereunder which underlie warrants issued to the Selling
     Stockholder, as described below.  Other than as set forth below, there are
     no material relationships between the Selling Stockholder and the Company,
     nor have any such material relationships existed within the past three
     years, and the Selling Stockholder does not hold any other securities of
     the Company.

                       __________________________________

                                        
          The Shares to be sold by CII are shares of Common Stock acquired by
     CII or to be acquired upon the exercise of warrants issued to CII by the
     Company.  Such securities were issued to CII for consideration comprised of
     cash and forgiveness of indebtedness in connection with a Convertible
     Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 22, 1994
     (the "Purchase Agreement"), as amended.  Pursuant to the Purchase
     Agreement, on December 22, 1994 the Company issued to CII the following
     securities (the "CII Securities"):  (i) a Convertible Subordinated
     Debenture dated December 22, 1994 from the Company to CII in the principal
     amount of $763,208 (the "Debenture"), (ii) a warrant dated December 22,
     1994 to purchase 508,805 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise
     price of $2.15 per share (the "Class I Warrants"), (iii) a warrant dated
     December 22, 1994 to purchase 305,283 shares of Common Stock at an initial
     exercise price of $2.75 per share (the "Class II Warrants"), and (iv) a
     warrant dated December 22, 1994 to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock
     at an initial exercise price of $1.00, such warrant being an amendment and
     restatement of a warrant previously held by CII to purchase 10,000 shares
     of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.  On October 12,
     1995, the Purchase Agreement and the CII Securities were modified, such
     that the Debenture became convertible into 954,010 shares of Common Stock,
     and due to anti-dilution provisions, the Class I Warrants became
     exercisable for 1,176,269 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
     $0.93  per share and the Class II Warrants became exercisable for 705,485
     shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share.  The number
     of shares of Common Stock for which the Class III Warrants were exercisable
     remained the same, but the exercise price per share was adjusted to $0.65.
     On June 24, 1996, the parties agreed that in order to help the Company
     market the Common Stock sold to fund the acquisition of Raychem
     Corporation's nickel-titanium product line, CII would convert the Debenture
     into equity, and a further amendment to the Purchase Agreement was executed
     by CII and the Company, which amendment became effective on June 28, 1996.
     Pursuant to such amendment, on June 28, 1996, the Debenture was converted
     into 285,528 shares of Common Stock and 66.85 shares of Series H Preferred
     Stock (the "Series H Shares").  The parties agreed that additional shares
     of Common Stock which were issuable to CII due to a penalty adjustment
     provision of the Debenture would be folded into the Class I Warrants.
     Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Class I
     Warrants are exercisable was increased to 1,282,450, with the exercise
     price per share of such Class I Warrants being adjusted to $0.853 per
     share.  The Class II and III Warrants were not adjusted.  As of the close
     of business on September 4, 1996, all of the Series H Shares automatically
     were converted into 668,500 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the terms
     of the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Series H
     Preferred Stock.

          The Class I, II and III Warrants are subject to certain antidilution
     rights.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as
     amended, the Company is required to file a registration statement (the
     "Registration Statement") to cover, inter alia, the resale by CII of the
                                         ----- ----                          
     shares of Common Stock underlying the CII Securities and the Series H
     Shares (the "Registrable Securities").  The registration statement to which
     this Prospectus relates has been filed to fulfill such obligation.  The
     Company is required to cause the Registration Statement to become effective
     no later than January 31, 1996, maintain the effectiveness of the
     Registration Statement for a period of three years from its effective date,
     subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement,

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     as amended, and use its best efforts to allow CII to continually sell
     Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement free from
     any stop orders or suspensions by the Company or advice of counsel to the
     contrary.  CII also has been granted a "put" right if (i) at any time
     before the earlier of June 28, 2006 and the date on which CII ceases to
     hold at least 35% of the Registrable Securities the Company ceases to (a)
     maintain its corporation headquarters and all of its product business
     operations in the State of Connecticut, (including, after January 1, 1997,
     the assembly of all products to be sold to the U.S. Surgical Corporation),
     excluding business operations relating to Wright's production of screw
     machine products and taper pins and the Company's components and sub-
     assembly business acquired from Raychem, (b) base its president and chief
     executive officer, a majority of its senior executives, and all of its
     administrative, financial, research and development, marketing and customer
     service staff relating to its product business (subject to the same
     inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)) in the State of Connecticut, (c)
     conduct all of its operations relating to its product business directly or
     through subcontractors and through licensed operations in the State of
     Connecticut (subject to the same inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)),
     and (d) maintain its principal bank accounts with banks located in the
     State of Connecticut, excluding all banks associated with Wright; or (ii)
     the Company fails (a) to file the Registration Statement by October 31,
     1996 or to cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement by January
     31, 1997, or (b) to keep the Registration Statement effective for an
     aggregate of 120 days during any rolling twelve month period.  Upon CII's
     exercise of its put, the Company would be obligated to purchase from CII
     all CII Securities and Registrable Securities held at that time by CII for
     a price equal to the greater of (x) the then current market price of such
     CII Securities and Registrable Securities (on an as-converted basis) and
     (y) $2.00, multiplied by the number of CII Securities and Registrable
     Securities (on an as-converted basis), less in the case of Common Stock
     issued upon the exercise of the Class I Warrants, the Class II Warrants or
     Class III Warrants, any exercise price paid to acquire Common Stock.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

          The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000
     shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 100,000 shares of
     Preferred Stock, $100.00 par value per share.  In September 1996, the
     Company's Board of Directors voted to amend the Company's Certificate of
     Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
     by 5,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 authorized shares.  The Board authorized
     management to present the proposal for stockholder approval at the annual
     meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled for December 5, 1996.

          The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.  The
     Common Stock has non-cumulative voting rights, which means that holders of
     more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect
     all of the directors and take most other actions submitted to a vote of
     stockholders, if they so determine.  In such event, the holders of the
     remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors or take such other
     actions.  The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to maintain
     their respective percentage ownership interest in the Company or other
     subscription or conversion rights for other securities of the Company.

          The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock and the
     Company does not contemplate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock
     in the near future.  Pursuant to the Company's August 9, 1996 loan
     agreement with its principal lender, the Company is prohibited from
     declaring or paying any dividends, or making a distribution to its
     stockholders, until the termination of such agreement and the repayment of
     all amounts due to such lender.

          By letter agreement dated May 22, 1995 between Harbour Holdings
     Limited Partnership ("Harbour") and the Company, Harbour agreed to accept
     the issuance to it by the Company of 747,500 shares of Common Stock as
     payment in full of declared, accrued and unpaid dividends in the amount of
     $598,000 that accrued prior to June 30, 1993 with respect to shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held at such time by
     Harbour.

          CII has certain antidilution protections as well as a put right in
     connection with the CII Securities.  See
     "Selling Stockholder."


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          The Shares covered hereby may be offered and sold from time to time by
     the Selling Stockholder.  The Selling Stockholder will act independently of
     the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size
     of each sale.  Such sales may be made in the over-the-counter market or
     otherwise, at prices related to the then current market price or in
     negotiated transactions, including one or more of the following methods:
     (a) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker or
     dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (b) ordinary brokerage
     transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and
     (c) block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell
     the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
     principal to facilitate the transaction.  The Company has been advised by
     the Selling Stockholder that it has not made any arrangements relating to
     the distribution of the Shares covered by this Prospectus.  In effecting
     sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for
     other broker-dealers to participate.  Broker-dealers may receive
     commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder in amounts to be
     negotiated.

          In offering the Shares covered hereby, the Selling Stockholder and any
     broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales
     for the Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
     meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales, and any
     profits realized by the Selling

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
     Stockholder and the compensation of such broker-dealer may be deemed to be
     underwriting discounts and commissions.  In addition, any Shares covered by
     this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold
     under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.

          The Company has advised the Selling Stockholder that during such time
     as it may be engaged in a distribution of Shares covered hereby, it is
     required to comply with Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7 under the Exchange Act as
     described below and, in connection therewith, that it may not engage in any
     stabilization activity in connection with the Company's Common Stock, is
     required to furnish to each purchaser and/or broker-dealer through which
     Shares covered hereby may be offered copies of this Prospectus and its
     accompanying documents and reports and that it may not bid for or purchase
     any securities of the Company of attempt to induce any person to purchase
     any securities of the Company except as permitted under the Exchange Act.
     The Selling Stockholder has agreed to inform the Company when the
     distribution of its Shares is completed.

          Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions,
     participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an
     account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the
     securities that are the subject of the distribution.  Rule 10b-7 governs
     bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in
     connection with a distribution of the security.

          This Offering will terminate on the earlier of the third anniversary
     of the effective date hereof and the date on which all Shares offered
     hereby have been sold by the Selling Stockholder.

          In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if
     applicable, the Shares offered hereby will be sold in such jurisdictions
     only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, the
     Shares may not be sold in certain states unless they have been registered
     or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from regulation or
     qualification is available and is complied with.  The Company intends to
     use its best efforts to register or qualify the Shares for resale or to
     seek an exemption from registration or qualification in any state required
     in order to facilitate as to a particular sale, the resale of the Shares by
     the Selling Stockholder.


              LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
     empowers a corporation incorporated under the General Corporation Law to
     indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former
     directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve in such
     capacities with another enterprise at its request, against expenses
     (including attorneys' fees), as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid
     in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with
     any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
     civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by
     or in the right of the corporation), in which they or any of them were or
     are made parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of their
     serving or having served in such capacity.  The power to indemnify shall
     only exist where such officer, director, employee or agent has 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, in the case of a criminal
     action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
     unlawful.  In a threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
     the right of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify such person
     only for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
     incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
     or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
     believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
     except that if such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation then
     the corporation shall have no power of indemnification unless and only to
     the extent that a court shall determine upon application.  Indemnity is
     mandatory as to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
     reasonably incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent of a
     corporation to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
     defended.  Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
     director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding may be paid by
     the corporation in advance of final disposition upon receipt of an

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
     undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is
     ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
     corporation.  Indemnification is not deemed exclusive of any other rights
     to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement,
     vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  The
     determination to make indemnification pursuant to Section 145 shall be made
     by (i) a majority vote of disinterested directors even though less than a
     quorum, (ii) if there are no such directors or if such directors so direct,
     by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (ii) by the
     stockholders.  A Delaware corporation also has the power to purchase and
     maintain insurance on behalf of the persons it has the power to indemnify,
     whether or not indemnity against such liability would be allowed under the
     statute.

          Article VIII of the By-Laws of the Company provides as follows:

          The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by subsections
          (a) through (e) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
          State of Delaware (as such statute may, from time to time, be
          amended), indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to
          indemnify against any and all expenses, liabilities and other matters.

          The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended in June
     1989, as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to a
     vote of its stockholders, to provide that, to the fullest extent
     permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors of the
     Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders
     for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty as a director except
     for liability (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 improper dividend payment or unlawful stock purchases or
     redemption, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
     improper personal benefit.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933 (the "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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
empowers a corporation incorporated under the General Corporation Law to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former
directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve in such capacities
with another enterprise at its request, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), in
which they or any of them were or are made parties or are threatened to be made
parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity.  The power
to indemnify shall only exist where such officer, director, employee or agent
has 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, in the case of a criminal
action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
In a threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, the corporation may indemnify such person only for expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that if such person has
been adjudged liable to the corporation then the corporation shall have no power
of indemnification unless and only to the extent that a court shall determine
upon application.  Indemnity is mandatory as to expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent
of a corporation to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended.  Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.  Indemnification
is not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.  The determination to make indemnification pursuant to
Section 145 shall be made by (i) a majority vote of disinterested directors even
though less than a quorum, (ii) if there are no such directors or if such
directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (ii)
by the stockholders.  A Delaware corporation also has the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of the persons it has the power to indemnify,
whether or not indemnity against such liability would be allowed under the
statute.

     Article VIII of the By-Laws of the Company provides as follows:

     The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by subsections (a)
     through (e) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
     Delaware (as such statute may, from time to time, be amended), indemnify
     any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify against any and
     all expenses, liabilities and other matters.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     The Registrant hereby undertakes the following:

     (1) File, during any period in which securities are offered or sold
hereunder, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

          (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

          (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
     or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
     registration statement; and

          (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the
     plan of distribution.

                                      II-5
<PAGE>
 
     (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-
effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.

     (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities 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 latter
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.

Brookfield, State of Connecticut on October 31, 1996.
