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
quarterly  report;

3. Based   on   my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other financial

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 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
procedures  and  presented  in  this  quarterly report our conclusions about the
effectiveness  of  the  disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report based on such evaluation; and

   c) disclosed in this quarterly 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;

5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation, 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  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. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and I have  indicated in this
annual  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.
