          Based on my knowledge, this 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 report;

3.       
          Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
          included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial

          of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.       
          The small business issuers other certifying officer(s) 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 small
          business issuer and 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 small business issuer, including its
          consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
          particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

b)       
          evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuers disclosure

          period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

c)       
          disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuers internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business
          issuers most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuers
          fourth fiscal quarter in the case of this annual report) that has materially
          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
          issuers internal control over financial reporting; and

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