providing you the additional option of voting your proxy by the
Internet.  You can vote by using the Internet or you can choose to mail

completed, signed and returned to the Company prior to the Annual

given by a shareholder may be revoked at any time before it is
exercised by filing with the Secretary of the Company an instrument
revoking it, by executing a proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in
person at the Annual Meeting.  The proxy statement and the accompanying
form of proxy were mailed to security holders commencing April 24, 2000
together with the Company Annual Report.

April 21, 2000 has been fixed as the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting
or any adjournment thereof.  As of that date, the Company had 2,343,840
outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock
entitles the holder to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual
Meeting.

If any holder of Common Stock has given notice at the Annual Meeting,
prior to the voting for election of directors, that he intends to
cumulate his votes, each holder of Common Stock (or any proxy acting on
behalf of such shareholder) will be entitled to cumulate his votes and
give any candidate whose name has been placed in nomination prior to
the voting a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be
elected by such holders of Common Stock multiplied by the number of his
shares, or to distribute his votes among as many such candidates as he
sees fit.  The candidates receiving the highest number of votes from
the holders of Common Stock, up to the number of directors to be
elected by such holders, shall be elected.


The entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this
proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy, and the cost of
soliciting proxies relating to the Annual Meeting will be borne by the
Company.  The Company will request banks and brokers to solicit their
customers who own beneficially shares held of record in names of
nominees, and will reimburse such banks and brokers for the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of such solicitations.  The original
solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone,
telegram and personal solicitation by officers and other regular
employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid
to such individuals.

The executive offices of the Company are located at 25 East Ortega
Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101.


INCREASE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
(PROPOSAL 1)


The authorized number of Directors of the Company currently is six.
The Company desires to increase the authorized number of Directors to
provide for the election, as Directors of additional persons who are
experienced in the Companys business sector and who can contribute
significantly to the Companys growth and performance.  In order to
provide the maximum flexibility, the Company proposes to change the
authorized number of Directors from a fixed number to a variable number
and to increase the maximum authorized number of Directors to nine.

Under this Proposal the authorized number of Directors would be not
less than five (5) or more than nine (9) and the exact number of
Directors would be fixed within this range by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors could, from time to time, change the exact
number of Directors within this range without the need for shareholder
approval of this change.  For example, the Board of Directors could
change the exact number of Directors from six to seven without
shareholder approval.  The Board of Directors could not reduce the
authorized number of Directors to less than five nor increase it to
more than nine without shareholder approval.

This Proposal would be effected by amendment of Section 2 of Article
III of the Companys Bylaws to read as follows:


Section 2.  NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.  The authorized
number of Directors shall be not less than five (5) nor more than nine
(9).  The exact number of Directors within these limits shall be fixed
and may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors or
shareholders in the manner provided in these Bylaws.  Until a different
number within the foregoing limits is specified in an amendment to this
Section duly adopted by the Board of Directors or the shareholders, the
exact number of authorized Directors shall be six (6).  A change in the
minimum or maximum number of Directors who may be authorized to serve
on the Board of Directors, or a change from a variable to a fixed
Board, may be made only by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation
or by a Bylaw amending this Section 2 duly adopted by a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote.  The authorized minimum number of
Directors shall not be reduced to a number less than five (5) if the
votes cast against such reduction at a meeting, or the shares not
consenting in the case of action by written consent, are equal to more
than 16-2/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

Shareholder Approval

Approval of the foregoing amendment to the Companys Bylaws to increase
the authorized number of Directors and to change the number of Directors
from a fixed number to a variable number will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares present (whether in person or by proxy)
and voting at the meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "For" approval of the
amendment to the Companys Bylaws.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(PROPOSAL 2)



The Six (6) persons described in the following table are nominated by
Management for election as Directors of the Company, to hold office for
one year and until their respective successors are elected and
qualified.  Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the
accompanying Proxy will vote FOR as many of such Management nominees as
possible so as to elect the maximum number of such Management nominees,
all within such proxy holders discretion.

INCREASE NUMBER OF SHARES ALLOCATED TO THE 1996 EQUITY PARTICIPATION
PLAN, ALONG WITH OTHER AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN
(PROPOSAL 3)

Increase in Shares to 1996 Equity Participation Plan by 215,000 shares.

The current number of shares authorized by the 1996 Equity
Participation Plan (the Plan) is 475,000.  A total number of 1,000
shares have been issued for exercises of stock options previously
granted under the Plan and a total of 412,000 shares are reserved for
outstanding option grants.  As a result only 62,000 shares remain
available for option grants under the Plan.

We believe that it is important to grant options and other awards to
attract and retain qualified people who can contribute to our continued
growth and success.  By increasing the number of authorized shares, we
can provide an adequate reserve of shares to permit option grants.

A description of the Plan, as amended by this proposal, is set forth in
Exhibit A. hereto.

OTHER AMENDMENTS

    a.  Grant of Reload Options.  Whenever the holder of any
Option(the "Original Option" exercises the Original Option and makes
payment of the option price by tendering shares of the Common Stock of
the Company, then the holder of that Option shall be entitled to
receive and the Company shall grant a new Option (the "Reload Option")
for that number of additional shares of the Common Stock which is equal
to the number of shares tendered by the Optionee in payment of the
option price.  All such Reload Options shall be on the following terms
and conditions.

Option Price.  The option price per share shall be an amount equal to
the then current fair market value per share of the Common Stock, as of
the date of exercise of the Original Option.

Expiration Date.  The option exercise period shall expire, and the
Reload Option shall no longer be exercisable, on the expiration of the
option period of the Original Option or five (5) years from the date of
the grant of the Reload Option, whichever is later.

Vesting Period.  Any Reload Option shall "vest" and first become
exercisable one (1) year following the date of exercise of the Original
Option.

Other Terms.  All other terms of Reload Options shall be identical to
the terms and conditions of the Original Option.  Further, the
character of the Reload Option shall be the same as the character of
the Original Option, namely if the Original Option is an Incentive
Stock Option, the Reload Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option; and
if the Original Option is a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Reload
Option shall also be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Restrictions on Reload Options.  Reload Options shall be subject to the
following conditions and restrictions.

Holding Period of Shares Tendered.  No Reload Option shall be granted
unless the shares tendered upon exercise of the Original Option in
payment therefore have been held by the Optionee for a period of more
than six (6) months prior to the exercise of the Original Option.

Holding Period of Original Option Shares.  If the shares of Common
Stock of the Company which are issued upon exercise of the Original
Option are sold within one (1) year following the exercise of the
Original Option, then the Reload Option shall immediately terminate.

shares of Common Stock to the Company in payment of all or any portion

Option or a Reload Option, or (b) satisfaction of his withholding
obligation, if any, by the withholding of shares that would otherwise

partnership or limited liability company established by the Optionee
and in which all beneficial interests are held by one or more of the
Optionee and the Immediate Family Members; (d) a tax-exempt
educational, religious or charitable organization, as those terms are
defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code; and (e) such other persons
and entities as the Company may specifically approve in writing after
written notice from the Optionee.

Permitted Transfers.  Any transfer of an Option must be either a
donative transfer, a transfer to a partnership or limited liability
company, pursuant to which the Optionee receives only his or her
interest in the partnership or limited liability company, or a transfer
specifically approved in writing by the Company after written notice
from the Optionee.

A transferee of any  Option shall not have the right to further
transfer all or any portion of the Option, other than (a) by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, or (b), if the transferee is a

death of any settlor.An Optionee may not transfer any Incentive Stock
Option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

By Order of the Board of Directors

Exhibit A

Description of 1996 Equity Participation Plan

The following discussion summarizes the significant features of the
1996 Equity Participation Plan, as amended and proposed for shareholder
approval.

Administration of the Plan

The Plan may be administered by either the Board of Directors or a
Committee of the Board consisting of not less than three members of the
Board who do not participate in the Plan.  (The entity administering the
Plan is referred to as the Administrator.)  The Administrator has full
authority to:

Construe and implement the Plan;

Select the individuals who will be eligible for awards;

Determine the number of shares covered by any award and the option price
or purchase price of any award;

Impose restrictions on the transferability of shares acquired under the
Plan; and

Prescribe all other terms and conditions of each award granted under the
Plan.

Eligibility

The Administrator may grant awards to key employees of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company, including officers and Directors.  The
selection of particular employees who will receive awards is at the
discretion of the Administrator.

Share Reserve

The Plan authorizes 475,000 shares of common stock.  As of the date of
this Proxy Statement, 62,000 shares remain available for issuance.  If
this Proposal is approved, additional 215,000 shares of common stock will
be available for issuance. The Plan provides that the foregoing number of
shares will be adjusted from time to time to reflect any stock splits,
stock dividends, reverse stock splits, combinations, reclassifications
and similar changes in the Companys common stock which occur hereafter.

Types of Awards

The Plan permits both the grant of stock options and the award of shares
of common stock (restricted stock).  The Administrator determines the
number of shares covered by any award and the terms and conditions of any
award.

Grant and Exercise of Option

Options granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options or non-
qualified stock options for federal and state tax purposes.  The terms of
any options granted under the Plan generally will be as follows.

The number of shares of common stock covered by the option is determined
by the Administrator as of the grant date of the option.

The exercise price of the option is set by the Administrator at the time
of grant.  The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of common stock as of the date of grant.

The Optionee may pay the exercise price of an option in cash or through
the surrender of shares of common stock of the Company (valued at its
then fair market value).

The maximum term of any option is ten years.

Options generally become exercisable ("vest") at the rate of 20% per year
of employment following grant of the options.  The Administrator may
establish other vesting schedules, as it deems appropriate in specific
cases, so long as the vesting is no longer than a five-year period.
Options may not vest prior to six months after the grant date of the
option.

All options shall immediately vest upon the occurrence of a change in
control.  For purposes of the Plan, a change of control generally
includes only the acquisition by a third person who is not an affiliate
of the Company of 35% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company.

An option terminates on the termination of the optionees employment with
the Company for any reason.  If the termination is other than as a result
of the optionees death or disability, the option must be exercised
within 30 days following the termination of employment.  If the
termination is by reason of the optionees death or disability, the
option must be exercised within twelve months after the date of
termination.

Generally options are not transferable, except in the event of the
optionees death, and may be exercised only within the period prescribed
by the Administrator.  The Administrator may provide that a non-qualified
stock option may be transferred by the Optionee to any of the following
persons:

The optionees spouse, parents and lineal descendants, including adopted
children;
a trust, partnership or limited liability company established by the
Optionee for the Optionee and/or members of his immediate family;
tax-exempt educational, religious or charitable organizations; and
such other persons and entities as the Administrator may specifically
approve.

Reload Features of Options

The Plan provides for the issuance of "reload" options, which are
designed to encourage "stock-for-stock" exercises of options. In a stock-
for-stock exercise, the Optionee pays the purchase price by delivering
shares of Company stock owned rather than paying cash for the purchase
price of the option.  The advantage for the Optionee is that an
expenditure of cash is not necessary at the time of exercise; however, it
also dilutes the optionees stock ownership position.  The "reload"
features are designed to replenish this dilution.  A reload option will
be granted to any Optionee who exercises an option by tendering shares of
common stock.  The reload options will be on the following terms:

The number of shares covered by the reload option will be equal to the
number of shares tendered in the stock-for-stock exercise;

The exercise price of the reload option will be equal to the then fair
market value of the Companys common stock;

The exercise period of the reload option will be equal to the remaining
term of the underlying option, or five years, whichever is greater; and

The other terms of the reload option will be the same as those of the
underlying option.

The reload options will be subject to the following restrictions, which
are designed to prevent abuse of the reload options:

A reload option will be granted only if the shares of common stock
tendered on exercise of the underlying option were held by the Optionee
for a period of at least six months prior to the exercise of the
underlying option;

If the shares issued on exercise of the underlying option are sold or
transferred prior to one year following exercise of the option, the
reload option terminates; and

The reload option may not be exercised for one year following its grant.

Issuance of Restricted Stock

The terms of any shares of restricted stock or other stock incentives
issued under the Plan generally will be as follows:

The Administrator shall determine:

Employees to be awarded restricted stock;

The purchase price, if any, payable for the restricted stock;

The period over which the employees interest in the restricted stock
shall vest; provided that such period shall not be longer than five years
and at least 20% of the interest shall vest on each anniversary of the
date of issuance of the restricted stock; and

The other terms and conditions consistent with this Plan applicable to
the award of the restricted stock.

The Administrator may designate whether any grant of restricted stock
is intended to be "performance-based compensation" as that term is used
in Section 162(m) of the Code.

The employee may not sell or transfer any of the restricted stock prior
to six months after the date of the award of the restricted stock.

The Company shall have the right to repurchase the unvested restricted
stock upon the termination of the employees employment with the Company
at a price equal to the purchase price paid by the employee.

The Company may have the right to repurchase the vested restricted stock
upon the termination of the employees employment with the Company at a
price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock.

The employees interest in any restricted stock shall immediately vest
upon the occurrence of a change in control.  For purposes of the Plan, a
change of control generally includes only the acquisition by a third
person who is not an affiliate of the Company of 35% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company.

Restrictions on Stock Issued Under the Plan

The Administrator may impose restrictions on the transferability of any
shares of common stock issued pursuant to awards under the Plan.  The
Administrator is not required to impose any such restrictions.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

The Board of Directors may amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time without notice to or approval of the stockholders, provided that no
outstanding option or restricted stock award is adversely affected.
Approval is required only when applicable law requires approval.  The
Plan will terminate on December 31, 2005, unless the Board of Directors
has previously terminated it.  Options and restricted stock awards
granted before the termination of the Plan may be exercised and will vest
thereafter in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Non-Qualified Stock Options

No taxable income results to an employee from the grant of a non-
qualified option, nor is the Company entitled to a deduction.

The exercise of a non-qualified option generally results in a taxable
event. An individual who purchases shares by exercising a non-qualified
option generally will realize ordinary income in the year of the
exercise. The amount of this income is equal to (i) the fair market value
of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise of the option,
minus (ii) the option exercise price. Where the stock issued upon
exercise of the options is subject to both a substantial risk of
forfeiture and a restriction on transfer, the participant will realize
income only upon the lapse of such risk of forfeiture or the expiration
of these restrictions. The amount of this income will be equal (a) to the
fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of lapse of
the risk of forfeiture or restrictions, minus (b) the option exercise
price. Alternatively, the participant may make an election under Section
83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed upon exercise of the
option, as though such risk of forfeiture or restrictions did not exist.
In either case, the Company is entitled to a corresponding deduction in
an amount equal to any ordinary income realized by the employee.

Upon the disposition of stock acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified
option, any gain or loss will be taxed as a capital gain or loss.  This
gain would be treated as a short- or long-term capital gain (or loss),
depending upon how long the Optionee has held the stock after the
exercise of the option.

Incentive Stock Options

Neither the Optionee nor the Company incurs any tax consequence as the
result of the grant of an incentive stock option ("ISO").  Likewise, the
Optionee has no taxable income upon exercising an ISO (subject to the
alternative minimum tax rules discussed below), and the Company receives
no deduction at that time. Generally any gain realized by the Optionee
upon the disposition of stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO would be
taxed as a capital gain.  The Company is not entitled to any deduction
under these circumstances.

If the Optionee sells the shares acquired on exercise of the ISO prior to
either two years after the date of grant of the ISO or one year after the
date of exercise of the ISO, the Optionee will be taxed on the difference
between the sales price and the option exercise price.  This gain is
taxed as ordinary income to the extent of the difference between the
exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of
exercise of the ISO, with any balance taxed as capital gains.  In these
circumstances, the Company is entitled to a deduction equal to the amount
of ordinary income realized by the Optionee.

Alternative Minimum Tax

The "spread" under an ISO, (i.e., the difference between the fair market
value of the shares at exercise and the exercise price) is treated as an
adjustment to taxable income for alternative minimum tax ("AMT") purposes
for the year of exercise.  The optionees alternative minimum taxable
income is increased by the amount of the spread, potentially subjecting
the holder to the AMT.  This ISO AMT adjustment would be eliminated by a
disqualifying disposition of the ISO shares, provided the disposition
occurs in the taxable year in which the ISO is exercised.  The AMT does
not affect the tax consequences of the Plan to the Company.

Issuance of Restricted Stock

The employee will have to report taxable income with respect to the
restricted stock, either upon issuance or upon the lapse of any
restrictions on transfer or risk of forfeiture.  If the restricted stock
is subject to both a risk of forfeiture and a restriction on transfer,
the employee will have to report the taxable income on the date on which
such risk or restriction lapses, unless the employee elects (under
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code), to report such income in the
year in which the restricted stock is issued. If the restricted stock is
not subject to both a risk of forfeiture and a restriction on transfer,
the employee will have to report the taxable income on the date on which
the restricted stock is issued.  The amount of taxable income that the
employee will have to report will be equal to the difference between the
fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance or of the lapse of
the risk or restriction, as appropriate, and the amount that the employee
paid for the restricted stock.  The Company will be entitled to a
deduction equal to the amount of taxable income reported by the employee.

Any gain realized by the employee on his or her subsequent sale or
transfer of the restricted stock will be taxed as long-term or short-term
capital gain, depending on the period that the employee has held the
restricted stock.  The Company will not be entitled to any deduction as a
result of the employees subsequent sale of the restricted stock.
