                                    PART II

                 INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT


ITEM  3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
          --------------------------------------- 

  The following documents and information previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Integrated Packaging Assembly
Corporation (the "Company") are hereby incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement:

  (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act").

  (b) The description of the Company's common stock which is contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-B, filed pursuant to Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.

  All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities registered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be 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.
          -------------------------------------- 

  Counsel for the Company, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., 650 Page Mill
Road, Palo Alto, California 94304, has rendered an opinion to the effect that
the Common Stock offered hereby will, when issued in accordance with the
Nonstatutory Stock Plan be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.  Certain members of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and
investment partnerships if which such persons are partners, beneficially owned
20,595 shares of the Company's Common Stock.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
         ----------------------------------------- 

  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors
to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.  Delaware law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for
any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.

                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors
and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest
extent permitted by law.  The Company believes that indemnification under its
Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on  the part of
indemnified parties.  The Company's Bylaws also permit the Company to secure
insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any
liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of
whether the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liability under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.  The Company currently
has secured such insurance on behalf of its officers and directors.

  The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws.
Subject to certain conditions, these agreements, among other things, indemnify
the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in
any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of the
Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to
which the person provides services at the request of the Company.

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 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.

  (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.

                                     II-2
<PAGE>
 
  (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.

  (4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

   (5)  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 Exchange 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California, on this 2nd day of

               (vii)     to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash under Section 9(e) instead of Common Stock;

               (viii)    to determine whether, to what extent and under what

deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period); and

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
               (ix)      to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted.

          (c)  Effect of Administrator's Decision.  All decisions,
               ----------------------------------                 
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options.

    5.    Eligibility.
          ----------- 

          (a)  Options may be granted to Employees or Consultants.

          (b)  The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the

    6.    Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
          ------------

          (a)  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant
to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator.

          (b)  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, (3)
promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly,
from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised, (5) authorization from the Company to retain from the total
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price
for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (6) by
delivering an irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares which
irrevocably obligates the option holder to take and pay for the Shares not more
than twelve months after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement, (7)

<PAGE>

the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under applicable laws.

    9.    Exercise of Option.
          ------------------ 

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option
               -----------------------------------------------            
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Board, including performance criteria with respect to the
Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the
Plan.

               An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of
such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Board, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to
be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan.

               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of an
               -------------------------                                   
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, such Optionee may,
but only within thirty (30) days (or within such other period of time as is
determined by the Board), after the date of such termination (but in no event
later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement), exercise his Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled
to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that Optionee was
not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if
Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
               ----------------------                                    
Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous
Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of his total and permanent
disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may, but only
within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no event
later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement), exercise the 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option
at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the
extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
               -----------------                                            
9(b) above, in the event of the death of an Optionee while Optionee is an
Employee or Consultant, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve
(12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the
expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the
Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death.  To the
extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (e)  Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
               -----------------                                             
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

   10.    Non-Transferability of Options.  Unless otherwise provided for by the
          ------------------------------                                       
Administrator, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee.

   11.    Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax Obligations.  At the
          --------------------------------------------------------         
discretion of the Administrator, Optionees may satisfy withholding obligations
as provided in this paragraph.  When an Optionee incurs tax liability in
connection with an Option, which tax liability is subject to tax withholding
under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an
amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold
from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option, if any, that number of
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

   12.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.
          ---------------------------------------------------------------- 
Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of
shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the number of
shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan
but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to
the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected
without 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
"effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

          In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the Board shall notify the Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to
such proposed action.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the
Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.  In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets,
the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation.
In the event that such successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option
or to substitute an equivalent option, the Board shall, in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, provide for the Optionee to have the right to
exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to
which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  If the Board makes an
Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger, the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

   13.    Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
          ------------------------                                            
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Board.  Notice
of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

   14.    Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          ------------------------------------- 

          (a)  Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend,
               -------------------------                                   
alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension
or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Optionee
under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  Any such amendment or
               ----------------------------------                        
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

   15.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued
          ----------------------------------                             
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect
to such compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

   16.    Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
          ---------------------                                             
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

   17.    Agreements.  Options shall be evidenced by written agreements in such
          ----------                                                           
form as the Board shall approve from time to time.

          -----------------------------                                        
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee.  The
terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

    5.    Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set
          --------------

this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.  THIS SUMMARY
IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO

          (1)  Exercising the Option.  The Optionee may incur regular federal
               ---------------------

having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal
to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the
date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price.  If the Optionee is an
Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his
or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing
authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income
at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to
deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of
exercise.
