               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.     INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

            The Company hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration
Statement the contents of the Company's audited financial statements for the
Registrant's fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 contained in the Registrant's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") on November 15, 2001, and the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K
filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act on August 31, 2001 and
September 18, 2001 pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 4.     DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

            Inapplicable.

ITEM 5.     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

            Inapplicable.

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. Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's
Board of Directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act of 1933. The Company's Bylaws provide for the mandatory
indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the
maximum extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, and the Company
has entered into agreements with its officers, directors and certain key
employees implementing such indemnification.

ITEM 7.     EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

            Inapplicable.

ITEM 8.     EXHIBITS.

ITEM 9    UNDERTAKINGS

        A. 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 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) 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.

        B. 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.

        C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company,
indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and
directors 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, 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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
