           The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain
safe harbors regarding forward-looking statements. From time to time,
information provided by the Company or statements made by its directors,
officers or employees may contain "forward-looking" information subject to
numerous risks and uncertainties. Any statements made in this registration
statement, including any statements incorporated herein by reference that are
not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements (including, but
not limited to, statements concerning the characteristics and growth of the
Company's market and customers, the Company's objectives and plans for future
operations and products and the Company's expected liquidity and capital
resources). Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions
and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and, accordingly, actual
results could differ materially. Factors that may cause such differences
include, but are not limited to: the continued and future acceptance of the
Company's products; the rate of growth in the industries of the Company's
products; the presence of competitors with 

                                       2

greater technical, marketing and financial resources; the Company's ability to
promptly and effectively respond to technological change to meet evolving
customer needs; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties; and the
Company's ability to successfully expand its operations. For a further
discussion of these and other significant factors to consider in connection with
forward-looking statements, reference is made to the discussion in this
registration statement under the heading "Risk Factors."

           The Company has filed with the Commission a registration statement
(of which this Prospectus is a part) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the Shares offered hereby. This
Prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration
statement, certain portions of which have been omitted as permitted by the rules
and regulations of the Commission. Statements contained in this Prospectus as to
the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete, and
in each instance reference is made to the copy of such contract or document
filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and to the exhibits and
schedules thereto.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

           The Company is advised that, pursuant to the terms of this
Prospectus, the Selling Stockholders are offering from time to time, in whole or
in part, an aggregate of 470,589 shares of Common Stock for resale hereunder for
their own account at such prices and on such terms as are available at the time
of sale. The proceeds from any sales of Shares offered hereby by the Selling
Stockholders will not be received by the Company.

           The Company understands that any distribution of securities by the
Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or their successors in
interest, may be effected from time to time in one or more of the following
transactions: (a) to underwriters who will acquire the Shares for their own
account and resell them in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale (any public offering price and any discount or concessions
allowed, re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time); (b)
through brokers, acting as principal or agent, in transactions, in special
offerings, in exchange distributions pursuant to the rules of the applicable
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices; or (c) directly or through
brokers or agents in private sales at negotiated prices, or by any other legally
available means.

           The Selling Stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or
agents, upon effecting the sale of the Shares, may be deemed to be an
underwriter, as that term is defined by the Securities Act and any profit on any
resale of securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

           In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the
Shares may not be sold unless the Shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is
available and complied with.

           The Company will file during any period in which offers or sales are
being made one or more post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus is a part to describe any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Prospectus
or any material change in such information.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

           The legality of the Shares offered hereby has been passed upon for
the Company by Peabody & Arnold LLP, 50 Rowes Wharf, Boston, Massachusetts
02110. William E. Kelly, a director and Secretary of the Company, is a partner
in Peabody & Arnold LLP.


                                     EXPERTS

           The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998 have been
audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants, as stated in their
reports which are incorporated herein by reference, and have been so
incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon its authority
as experts in accounting and auditing.

              DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
                         FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

           The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company contains
provisions which grant broad rights of indemnification to the officers and
directors of the Company. The Company has also entered into indemnification
agreements with each of its executive officers and directors containing
additional provisions of indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.
