2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a

4. The small business issuer'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 small business issuer and
have:

a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

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;

controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business

reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's internal
control over financial reporting; and

5. The small business issuer's other certifying officers 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
small business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

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

employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's internal
control over financial reporting.

6. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this

controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of my most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
