                  (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 company, including its
                        consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by
                        others within those entities, particularly during the

                        disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
                        the period covered by this report based on such
                        evaluation; and

                  (c)   Disclosed in this report any change in the company's
                        internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                        during the period covered by the annual report that has
                        materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
                        materially affect, the company's internal control over
                        financial reporting; and

5.       The company's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
         our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
         reporting, to the company's auditors and the audit committee of the
         company's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
         functions):

                  (a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
                        the design or operation of internal control over
                        financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
                        adversely affect the company'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 company's internal control over financial
                        reporting.
