         such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under our
         supervision,  to  ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
         registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to

         which this report is being prepared;

                 b. Designed such internal control over financial reporting,  or

         accounting principles;

                 c. Evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
         controls and  procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions

         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
         quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially  affected,
         or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

        5. The registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed,
based  on  our  most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant'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 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.
