Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

      a)    designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures  to ensure that
            material  information  relating  to the  registrant,  including  its
            consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made  known to us by  others  within
            those  entities,  particularly  during  the  period  in  which  this

            controls which could adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
            record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and have
            identified for the registrant's  auditors any material weaknesses in
            internal controls; and

      b)    any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or

      6. The registrant's  other certifying officer and I have indicated in this
quarterly  report  whether or not there  were  significant  changes in  internal
controls or in other factors that could  significantly  affect internal controls
