      on
      my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of
      a
      material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
      made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
      not

      report;





3.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
      in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
      condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and
      for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;





4.  I
      am
      responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
      (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
      I
      have:





a)
      designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
      information relating to the registrant, is made known to me by others within
      those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report
      is
      being prepared;

      the
      disclosure controls and procedures based on my evaluation as of the Evaluation
      Date;

      disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the registrant’s auditors and
      the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing
      the equivalent function):





a)
      all
      significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal 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 other employees
      who
      have a significant role in the registrant’s internal controls; and





6.  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 subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
      including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
      material weaknesses.
