4. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I  are  responsible  for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as  defined  in
Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(e)  and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:

  a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be  designed  under our  supervision,  to  ensure  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 quarterly report is being
prepared;

   b) evaluated the effectiveness  of the  registrant's disclosure controls  and

   c) disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the registrant's internal

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

5. The registrant's other certifying officers 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  in  the  design  or  operation of internal
controls  which  could  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.
