                                        3




ITEM  6.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF  DIRECTORS  AND  OFFICERS

     The  Company's  By-Laws  authorize  the Company to indemnify any present or
former director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or a person serving
in a similar post in another organization at the request of the Company, against
expenses,  judgments,  fines, and amounts paid in settlement  incurred by him in
connection  with  any  threatened,   pending,  or  completed  action,  suit,  or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative,  or investigative,  to the
fullest extent not prohibited by the Colorado  Business  Corporation Act, public
policy or other  applicable  law.  Section  7-109-102 of the  Colorado  Business
Corporation  Act authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors,  officers,
employees,  or agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification
under certain  circumstances for liabilities  (including  provisions  permitting
advances for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

     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.  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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM  7.  EXEMPTION  FROM  REGISTRATION  CLAIMED

     Not  applicable.

ITEM  8.  CONSULTANTS  AND  ADVISORS

     The following consultants/professionals/employees will be issued securities
pursuant to this Registration Statement:

Name                          Number        Type of Services Provided

ITEM  10.  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;

          (i)  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section  10(a)(3)  of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events arising after the
     effective  date  of  the   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 the
     registration  statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any increase or
     decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total  dollar  value of
     securities  offered  would not exceed  that which was  registered)  and any
     deviation from the low or high end of the estimated  maximum offering range
     may be  reflected  in the form of  prospectus  filed  with  the  Commission
     pursuant  to Rule  424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the changes in volume and
     price  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum  aggregate
     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration  Fee" table in
     the effective registration statement; and

          (iii) include any  additional  or changed  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;  provided,  however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
     (a)(1)(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  with  or  furnished  to the  Commission  by the  Registrant
     pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
     are incorporated by reference 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.

                                        5





     (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 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
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 act ion,  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.





                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
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  Registration
Statement,  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized,  in the City of Aliso Viejo,  State of California on the 23rd day of
December, 2004.
