ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Effective January 2, 2001, the Registrant has changed its state of
incorporation from California to Delaware. This change in its state of
incorporation was approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrant's
outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Registrant's annual meeting of
shareholders on November 8, 2000.
Upon reincorporation in the State of Delaware, the Registrant merged
into and is continuing its business as a Delaware corporation. The
reincorporation will not result in any change in the Registrant's name,
business, assets or liabilities, will not cause the Registrant's corporate
headquarters or other facilities to be moved and will not result in any
relocation of management or other employees.
Shareholders will not be required to undertake a mandatory exchange of
the Registrant's shares. Certificates for the Registrant's shares will
automatically represent an equal number of shares in the Delaware corporation
upon completion of the merger.
