         2. Based on my knowledge, this Report does not contain any untrue

reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
registrant and have:

                  a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
         such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the

         which this Report is being prepared;

                  b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
         caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed

         reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
         statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles;

                  c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure
         controls and procedures and presented in this Report our conclusions
         about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
         of the end of the period covered by this Report based on such
         evaluation; and

                  d) Disclosed in this Report any change in the Registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
         Registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal

         or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

         5. The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial

Registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

                  a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
         design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
         are reasonably likely to adversely effect the Registrant's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

                  b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
         management or other employees who have a significant role in the
         Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
