(b) the Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, filed on May 4, 2012, and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, filed on August 3, 2012, which contain unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal quarter;

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article XII of the Registrant's By-laws provide that the Registrant will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent and in the manner set forth in and permitted by the Business Corporation Act of the State of Washington (the “Act”), and any other applicable law, as from time to time in effect. Section 23B.08.510 of the Act, as amended, authorizes a court to award, or a corporation to grant, subject to certain limitations, indemnity to its directors and officers against reasonable expenses actually incurred in defending litigation against them in their capacities as directors and officers. This indemnity to directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to section 23B.08.560 of the Act, the scope of the indemnification to the Registrant's directors and officers includes a right to indemnification for all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred by any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Pursuant to the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, if the Washington Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Registrant will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, as so amended. The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation also implements section 23B.08.320, which permits a corporation to limit the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages. The Registrant may also indemnify and advance expenses under sections 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560 of the Act to an employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director.
The Registrant has obtained and maintains a standard form officers' and directors' liability insurance policy insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities for certain acts or omissions while acting in their official capacity, including liability under the Securities Act.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To 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, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) 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;
provided, however, that paragraph (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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 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 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 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Federal Way, State of Washington, on September 19, 2012.
