    above; and

(d) All other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections

    the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
    which indicates that all of the shares of common stock offered have been

    deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.


The Company's authorized capitalization includes 12,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $0.00415 par value per share, of which 3,026,193 shares were issued and
outstanding as of March 7, 1997 and 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par
value, of which 70,709 shares were issued and outstanding as of  June 10, 1997.
4,991,193 common shares will be issued and outstanding upon filing of this Form
S-8.

On May 9, 1997, Certificate Amending Articles of Incorporation was filed with
the Secretary of State, State of Nevada, increasing the authorized shares from
6,000,000  to 12,000.000 and changing the par value per share from $0.0083 to
$0.00415.

Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each
matter submitted to vote at any meeting of the shareholders.  The Company's
Bylaws require a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock must be represented in order to constitute a quorum necessary to
transact business at a meeting of the shareholders.  Shares of Common Stock do
not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are able to elect the entire board of
directors, and, if they do so, holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock
will not be able to elect any directors.  Holders 

                                  Page 3 of 7
<PAGE>
 
of the Company's Common Stock have no preemptive rights to acquire additional
shares of Common Stock. The Company's Common Stock is not subject to redemption
and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of the Company's
liquidation, each share of the Company's Common Stock is entitled to an equal
share of corporate assets remaining after satisfaction of all Company
liabilities and preferred distributions to holders of the Company's Preferred
Stock. Holders of shares of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to receive
such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of
funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The Company has not paid
cash dividends on its Common Stock, and does not anticipate that it will pay
cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

The Company's Preferred Stock consists of a single class of preferred stock.
The Preferred Stock is convertible one year after date of issuance, and is
nonvoting.  Holders of shares of the Company's Preferred Stock are entitled to a
preference over the Company's Common Stock in the event of the Company's
liquidation, in the amount of $7.00 per share of Preferred Stock.  Shares of
Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock as follows: One for
one Share, Preferred Shares are redeemable by the Company on the following
terms: One year from date of issuance; $7.00 per share.  The Company has not
paid cash dividends on its Preferred Stock, and does not anticipate that it will
pay cash dividends on its Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future.

The Company's board of directors has the authority, without any further action
by the Company's shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but
unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock and Preferred Stock, upon terms
established by the board of directors].  In the event of any such issuance of
additional shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the
percentage ownership of the Company by existing shareholders would be reduced
and the book value of the Company's Common Stock may be diluted.


ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

Not applicable.


ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

(a)  Article 9 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and Article VII,
Section 1 of the Company's Bylaws, provide for indemnification of the Company's
officers and directors against certain liabilities. Officers and directors of
the Company are indemnified generally against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with proceedings, whether civil or criminal.


ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

Not applicable.


ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

The exhibit index is contained on page 8 of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

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 this 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 this Registration Statement; and (iii) to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement, including (but not limited to)
any addition or election of a managing underwriter; provided, however, that
paragraphs (i) and (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 this
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)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, 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 for the Company pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in this 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, 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 of 1933, as amended, 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 of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1
to Registration Statement or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Upland, the State of
California, on this 30th day of June, 1997.
