(1) The proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum      
aggregate offering price are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the
registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the Securities   
Act of 1933. The calculation of the registration fee for the shares to be       
registered is based on (i) the actual exercise price for 3,430,649 options, none
of which are exercisable, which have been granted at various exercise prices    
from $2.00 per share to $6.83 per share and (ii) $1.80, which was the average of
the high and low prices of the common stock on March 28, 2001, for the remaining
5,569,351 options.

Item 4.    Description of Securities.                                           

Not applicable.                                           

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.                              

     Kenneth W. Johnson, the Company's General Counsel, is giving an
opinion on the validity of the common shares. As of the date of this prospectus,
Mr. Johnson held 39,713 shares of the Company's common stock and options        
exercisable for 270,000 shares of the Company's common stock.                   

Item 6.    Indemnification of Director and Officers.                            

           Article XII of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Section 11
of the Company's Bylaws require indemnification of directors, officers,         
employees, and agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the     
Washington Business Corporation Act (the "WBCA"). Sections 23B.08.500 through   
23B.08.000 of the WBCA authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of  
directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms          
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for    
liabilities arising under the Act.                                              

        Section 23B.08.320 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to limit a
director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving  
intentional misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or              
distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally receives a 
benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally     
entitled. Article XI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation contains        
provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington law, such
limitations on a director's liability to the Company and its shareholders.

1.      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:           

               (a)     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, as amended;                             

                        (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) that, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; and                                                                  

                      (iii)   To include any additional material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this       
Registration Statement or any material change to information contained herein;  

                provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and
(1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a         
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is incorporated by reference from  
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.                             

                (b)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each 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.                                         

                (c)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the      
termination of the offering.                                                    

       2.      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of   
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.      

    3.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will 
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
