The date of this Proxy Statement is April 29, 1997, the approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first sent or given to shareholders. GENERAL INFORMATION Voting Securities. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 29, 1997 will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of that date, there were 5,392,845 shares of Common Stock of the Company, no par value, issued and outstanding. Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy. Each holder of shares of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held on the proposals presented in this Proxy Statement. The Company's bylaws provide that a majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. Solicitation of Proxies. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to soliciting shareholders by mail through its regular employees, the Company may request banks and brokers, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, to solicit their customers who have stock of the Company registered in the names of such persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable, out-of-pocket costs. The Company may use the services of its officers, directors, and others to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, without additional compensation. Voting of Proxies. All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted in favor of the proposal. A shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke his or her proxy, at any time prior to the time it is voted, by delivery to the Secretary of the Company of a written instrument revoking the proxy or a duly executed proxy with a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. 1 PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Six (6) directors, constituting the Company's full Board, are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. If elected, the nominees will serve as directors until the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1998, and until their successors are elected and qualified. Management's nominees for election to the Board of Directors and certain information with respect to their age and background are set forth below. Management knows of no reason why any nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve. However, if any nominee(s) should for any reason be unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominees as management may designate. If a quorum is present and voting, the nominees for directors receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors. Abstentions and shares held by brokers that are present, but not voted because the brokers were prohibited from exercising discretionary authority, i.e., "broker non-votes," will be counted as present for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.

The Board of Directors believes that the availability of an adequate stock option program is an important factor in attracting and retaining qualified officers, employees and consultants essential to the success of the Company and in aligning their long-term interests with those of the shareholders. Description of Plan The following summary of the 1994 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the 1994 Plan, a copy of which is available to any shareholder upon request. General. The 1994 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and nonstatutory stock options. Shares Subject to Plan. The maximum number of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of the Company's Common Stock available for issuance under the 1994 Plan is 950,000 shares (the "Share Reserve"). As of March 31, 1997, 114,016 shares were available for grant under the 1994 Plan. Appropriate adjustments will be made to the shares subject to the 1994 Plan and to outstanding options upon any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company. To the extent that any outstanding option under the 1994 Plan expires or terminates prior to exercise in full or if shares issued upon exercise of an option are repurchased by the Company, the shares of Common Stock for which such option is not exercised or repurchased are returned to the 1994 Plan and become available for future grant. Administration. The 1994 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a duly appointed committee of the Board (hereinafter referred to as the "Board"). With respect to the participation of individuals whose transactions in the Company's equity securities are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the 1994 Plan must be administered in compliance with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if any. Subject to the provisions of the 1994 Plan, the Board determines the persons to whom options are to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, whether an option is to be an incentive stock option or a nonstatutory stock option, the timing and terms of exercisability of each option or the vesting of shares acquired upon the exercise of an option, including the effect thereon of an optionee's termination of service, the exercise price of and the type of consideration to be paid to the Company upon the exercise of each option, the duration of each option, and all other terms and conditions of the options. The 1994 Plan authorizes the Board to amend, modify, extend, renew, or grant a new option in substitution for, any option, to waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any option or any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof, and to accelerate, continue, extend or defer the exercisability of any option or the vesting of any shares acquired upon the exercise of an option, including with respect to the period following an optionee's termination of service with the Company. The 1994 Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by the Company of any director, officer or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such person's action or failure to act in administering the 1994 Plan. The Board will interpret the 1994 Plan and options granted thereunder, and all determinations of the Board will be final and binding on all persons having an interest in the 1994 Plan or any option. Eligibility. Options may be granted under the 1994 Plan to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporations of the Company. The 1994 Plan also permits options to be granted to prospective employees, consultants and directors in connection with written offers of employment or engagement, provided that such options may not become exercisable prior to the individual's 9 commencement of service. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately twenty-eight (28) employees including five (5) executive officers and five (5) non-employee directors. While any person eligible under the 1994 Plan may be granted a nonstatutory option, only employees may be granted incentive stock options. Terms and Conditions of Options. Each option granted under the 1994 Plan is evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the optionee specifying the number of shares subject to the option and the other terms and conditions of the option, consistent with the requirements of the plan. The exercise price per share of each option granted under the 1994 Plan must equal at least the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. However, any incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (a "Ten Percent Shareholder") must have an exercise price equal to at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 1997, the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $4.25. The option exercise price may be paid in cash, by check, or in cash equivalent, by tender of shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by the optionee having a fair market value not less than the exercise price, by the assignment of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the exercise of the option, by means of a promissory note, by any other lawful consideration approved by the Board, or by any combination of these. The Board may nevertheless restrict the forms of payment permitted in connection with any option grant. The 1994 Plan also authorizes the Company to withhold from shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of an option or to accept the tender of shares of the Company's Common Stock in full or partial payment of any tax withholding obligations. Options granted under the 1994 Plan become exercisable and vested at such times and subject to such conditions as specified by the Board. Generally, options granted under the 1994 Plan become exercisable in installments over a period of time specified by the Board at the time of grant, subject to the optionee's continued service with the Company. However, the Board may also grant options that are exercisable immediately on and after the date of grant, subject to the right of the Company to reacquire at the optionee's exercise price any unvested shares held by the optionee upon termination of service or if the optionee attempts to transfer any unvested shares. Shares acquired under such options generally vest in installments subject to the optionee's continued service. The 1994 Plan provides that the maximum term of an incentive stock option is ten years unless granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, in which case the maximum term is five years. Consistent with the Code, the 1994 Plan does not limit the term of a nonstatutory stock option. Options are nontransferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee. However, the 1994 Plan provides that a nonstatutory stock option may be assignable or transferable to the extent permitted by the Board and set forth in the option agreement. Transfer of Control. The 1994 Plan provides that, in the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding voting securities are transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction; or (ii) the sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company (a "Transfer of Control"), any unexercisable or unvested portion of the outstanding options will terminate unless the acquiring or successor corporation assumes the Company's rights and obligations under the outstanding options. Termination or Amendment. The 1994 Plan will continue in effect until the earlier of its termination by the Board or the date on which all shares available for issuance under the 1994 Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the 1994 Plan and the option agreements have lapsed, provided that all incentive stock options must be granted within ten years of the Effective Date. The 1994 Plan further provides that the period for granting incentive stock options will be extended to a period of ten years following any subsequent approval of an increase in the maximum number of shares issuable under the 1994 Plan. The Board may terminate or amend the 1994 Plan at any time. However, subject to changes in the law that would permit otherwise, without shareholder approval, the Board may not adopt an amendment to the 1994 Plan which would increase the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options, or otherwise require approval of the Company's stockholders under 10 any applicable law, regulation or rule. No amendment may adversely affect an outstanding option without the consent of the optionee, unless the amendment is required to preserve the option's status as an incentive stock option or is necessary to comply with any applicable law. Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences of Participation in the Option Plan The following summary is intended only as a general guide as to the United States federal income tax consequences under current law of participation in the 1994 Plan and does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of such participation or tax consequences based on particular circumstances. Incentive Stock Options. An optionee recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as the result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under section 422 of the Code. Optionees who do not dispose of their shares for two years following the date the option was granted nor within one year following the exercise of the option will normally recognize a long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the sale price and the purchase price of the shares. If an optionee satisfies such holding periods upon a sale of the shares, the Company will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If an optionee disposes of shares within two years after the date of grant or within one year from the date of exercise (a "disqualifying disposition"), the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the determination date (see discussion under "Nonstatutory Stock Options" below) and the option exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. A capital gain or loss will be long-term if the optionee's holding period is more than 12 months. Any ordinary income recognized by the optionee upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally should be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code or the regulations thereunder. The difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the determination date of an incentive stock option (see discussion under "Nonstatutory Stock Options" below) is an adjustment in computing the optionee's alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax for the year. Special rules may apply with respect to certain subsequent sales of the shares in a disqualifying disposition, certain basis adjustments for purposes of computing the alternative minimum taxable income on a subsequent sale of the shares and certain tax credits which may arise with respect to optionees subject to the alternative minimum tax. Nonstatutory Stock Options. Options not designated or qualifying as incentive stock options will be nonstatutory stock options. Nonstatutory stock options have no special tax status. An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. Upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income in the amount of the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the determination date (as defined below). If the optionee is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The "determination date" is the date on which the option is exercised unless the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and are not transferable, in which case the determination date is the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares are transferable or (ii) the date on which the shares are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. If the determination date is after the exercise date, the optionee may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to have the exercise date be the determination date by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service not later than 30 days after the date the option is exercised. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the determination date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss. A capital gain or loss will be long-term if the optionee's holding period is more than 12 months. No tax deduction is available to the Company with respect to the grant of a nonstatutory stock option or the sale of the stock acquired pursuant to such grant. The Company generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee as a result of the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code or the regulations thereunder. 11 SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT NEXT ANNUAL MEETING Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the next Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company must be received by the Company at its offices at 2560 Ninth Street, Suite 220, Berkeley, California, 94710, not later than February 26, 1998, and satisfy the conditions established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for shareholder proposals to be included in the Company's proxy statement for that meeting.
