|
| | 2. Based on my knowledge, this annual 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
    misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual
    report;                                                      
|
| | 3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and
    other financial information included in this annual report,

    report;                                                             
|
| | 4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining

    entities, particularly during the period in which this annual
    report is being prepared;           
|
| | b) designed such internal control over financial reporting,
    or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be

    likely to materially affect, the registrants internal
    control over financial reporting; and



| |

    internal control over financial reporting, to the
    registrants auditors:
