General
-------

The accompanying  condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
for quarterly  reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States of
America for complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  have been included.  Operating  results for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected  for the fiscal year ending March 31,  2004.  For further  information,
refer  to  the  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in the
Partnership's  annual  report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  March 31,
2003.

Organization
------------

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 8 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under the California  Revised Limited  Partnership Act on September 16, 1997 and
commenced  operations  on November 17, 2000,  the  effective  date of its public
offering  pursuant to the Securities and Exchange  Commission's  approval of the
Partnership's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Form S-11 initially filed on July
16,  1999.  The  Partnership  was formed to invest  primarily  in other  limited
partnerships  or  limited  liability   companies  which  will  own  and  operate
multifamily  housing complexes that are eligible for low-income  housing federal
and,  in certain  cases,  California  income tax  credits  ("Low-income  Housing
Credit").

The Partnership  shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2060
unless terminated prior to that date,  pursuant to the partnership  agreement or
law.

The general partner is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") (the "General Partner"), a
California limited partnership. The chairman and president own substantially all
of the outstanding stock of WNC. The business of the Partnership is conducted
primarily through WNC, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The  partnership  agreement  authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). As of June 30, 2003, 9,814 Units, representing subscriptions
in the  amount of  $9,807,585,  net of dealer  discounts  of $6,370  and  volume
discounts of $45, had been  accepted.  The General  Partner has 0.1% interest in
operating  profits and losses,  taxable  income and losses,  cash  available for
distribution  from the  Partnership  and tax  credits  of the  Partnership.  The
limited  partners  will be  allocated  the  remaining  99.9% of  these  items in
proportion to their respective investments.

After the limited  partners  have received  proceeds from a sale or  refinancing
equal to their capital  contributions and their return on investment (as defined
in the  Partnership  Agreement)  and the General  Partner has received  proceeds
equal to its capital  contribution  and a subordinated  disposition fee from the
remainder,  any additional sale or refinancing  proceeds will be distributed 90%
to the limited partners (in proportion to their respective  investments) and 10%
to the General Partner.

Risks and Uncertainties
-----------------------

An investment in the  Partnership  and the  Partnership's  investments  in Local
Limited  Partnerships  and their Housing  Complexes are subject to risks.  These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the  Partnership,  and the
amount of proceeds  available for distribution to the Limited Partners,  if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:

The  Low-Income  Housing Credit rules are extremely  complicated.  Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future  Low-Income  Housing  Credits and
the fractional  recapture of Low-Income  Housing  Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low-Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax  liability  due on the  person's  last  $25,000 of taxable
income.  The  Local  Limited  Partnerships  may be  unable  to sell the  Housing
Complexes at a profit. Accordingly,  the Partnership may be unable to distribute
any cash to its investors.  Low-Income  Housing  Credits may be the only benefit
from an investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited  Partnerships.
Such  limited  diversity  means that the  results of  operation  of each  single
Housing  Complex  will have a greater  impact on the  Partnership.  With limited
diversity,   poor   performance   of  one  Housing   Complex  could  impair  the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage  indebtedness.  If a Local Limited  Partnership failed to
pay its  mortgage,  it  could  lose  its  Housing  Complex  in  foreclosure.  If
foreclosure  were to occur during the first 15 years,  the loss of any remaining
Low-Income Housing Credits,  a fractional  recapture of prior Low-Income Housing
Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing Complex would
occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member of each Local
Limited Partnership.  Accordingly, the Partnership will have very limited rights
with respect to management of the Local Limited  Partnerships.  The  Partnership
will rely  totally on the Local  General  Partners.  Neither  the  Partnership's
investments in Local Limited  Partnerships,  nor the Local Limited Partnerships'
investments  in Housing  Complexes,  are readily  marketable.  To the extent the
Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies,  they may
be subject to one or more of the  following  risks:  difficulties  in  obtaining
tenants for the Housing  Complexes;  difficulties  in obtaining rent  increases;
limitations  on cash  distributions;  limitations  on  sales or  refinancing  of
Housing  Complexes;  limitations  on transfers  of  interests  in Local  Limited
Partnerships;  limitations on removal of Local General Partners;  limitations on
subsidy  programs;  and possible  changes in applicable  regulations.  Uninsured
casualties  could result in loss of property and Low-Income  Housing Credits and
recapture of Low-Income  Housing  Credits  previously  taken.  The value of real
estate is subject  to risks  from  fluctuating  economic  conditions,  including
employment rates, inflation,  tax, environmental,  land use and zoning policies,
supply and demand of similar  properties,  and  neighborhood  conditions,  among
others.

The  ability of Limited  Partners to claim tax losses  from the  Partnership  is
limited.  The IRS may audit the  Partnership or a Local Limited  Partnership and
challenge  the tax  treatment  of tax items.  The amount of  Low-Income  Housing
Credits and tax losses  allocable to the  investors  could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge.  The  alternative  minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment  in the  Partnership.  Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment  in the  Partnership  and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.

No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop.  Investors may
be unable to sell their Units  except at a discount  and should  consider  their
Units to be a long-term  investment.  Individual investors will have no recourse
if they  disagree  with actions  authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.

                     For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003
                                   (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exit Strategy
-------------

The IRS  compliance  period for  low-income  housing  tax credit  properties  is
generally  15 years from  occupancy  following  construction  or  rehabilitation
completion.  WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit.  Now these very first programs are completing  their  compliance
period.

With that in mind,  the  Partnership  is continuing to review the  Partnership's
holdings,  with special emphasis on the more mature  properties  including those
that have satisfied the IRS compliance  requirements.  The Partnership's  review
will consider many factors  including  extended use requirements on the property
(such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the
condition of the property,  and the tax  consequences  to the investors from the
sale of the property.

Upon identifying  those  properties with the highest  potential for a successful
sale,  refinancing  or  syndication,  the  Partnership  expects to proceed  with
efforts  to  liquidate  those  properties.  The  Partnership's  objective  is to
maximize the investors' return wherever possible and,  ultimately,  to wind down
those  funds  that no longer  provide  tax  benefits  to  investors.  To date no
properties in the Partnership have been selected.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
------------------------------------------------------------

The Partnership  accounts for its investments in limited  partnerships using the
equity method of  accounting,  whereby the  Partnership  adjusts its  investment
balance for its share of the Local Limited  Partnerships'  results of operations
and for any  contributions  made and  distributions  received.  The  Partnership
reviews the  carrying  amount of an  individual  investment  in a Local  Limited
Partnership for possible  impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying  amount of such  investment  may not be  recoverable.
Recoverability  of such  investment  is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount to future  undiscounted  net cash flows  expected to be generated.  If an
investment  is  considered  to be impaired,  the  impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying  amount of the  investment  exceeds
fair value.  The  accounting  policies of the Local  Limited  Partnership's  are
generally  consistent  with  those of the  Partnership.  Costs  incurred  by the
Partnership  in  acquiring  the  investments  are  capitalized  as  part  of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (Notes 2 and 3).

Equity in income and equity in losses of limited  partnerships  for the  periods
ended June 30,  2003 and 2002 have been  recorded  by the  Partnership  based on
three months of results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's
estimate for the three-month  period is based on either actual unaudited results
reported  by  the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  or  historical  trends  in  the
operations  of the Local Limited  Partnerships.  Equity in losses from the Local
Limited Partnerships  allocated to the Partnership will not be recognized to the
extent that the investment  balance would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the
investment balance reaches zero,  amortization of the related costs of acquiring
the investment are accelerated to the extent of losses available (see Note 2 ).

Offering Expenses
-----------------

Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in connection with selling
limited  partnership  interests  in the  Partnership.  The  General  Partner  is
obligated to pay all offering and organization  costs in excess of 4% (excluding
sales  commissions)  of the  total  offering  proceeds.  Offering  expenses  are
reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,269,405
as of June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use of Estimates
----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States of America requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements,  and the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting  period.  Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------

The  Partnership   considers  all  highly  liquid   investments  with  remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  As of
June 30, 2003, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------

At June 30, 2003, the Partnership  maintained cash balances at certain financial
institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
-----------------------------------

Net income per limited  partner  unit is  calculated  pursuant to  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net income per unit
includes no dilution  and is computed by dividing  income  available  to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding  during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income
------------------------------

The  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 130,  Reporting
Comprehensive  Income  established  standards  for the  reporting and display of
comprehensive  income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income
for all the periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 143,  "Accounting  for Asset
Retirement  Obligations",  which requires that the fair value of a liability for
an asset  retirement  obligation  be  recognized  in the  period  in which it is
incurred with the associated asset retirement costs being  capitalized as a part
of the  carrying  amount of the  long-lived  asset.  SFAS No. 143 also  includes
disclosure   requirements   that  provide  a  description  of  asset  retirement
obligations   and   reconciliation   of  changes  in  the  components  of  those
obligations.  The statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June
15,  2002.  The  adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material  impact on the
Partnerhip's financial position or results of operations.

In August  2001,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  144,  "Impairment  or  Disposal of
Long-Lived  Assets," which addresses  accounting and financial reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard was effective for the
Partnership's financial statements beginning January 1, 2002. The implementation
of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material  impact on the  Partnership's  financial
position or results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements, continued
----------------------------------------

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 rescinded three previously  issued  statements and amended SFAS No.
13, "Accounting for Leases." The statement provides reporting standards for debt
extinguishments   and   provides   accounting   standards   for  certain   lease
modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions.
The statement is effective for certain lease  transactions  occurring  after May
15,  2002 and all other  provisions  of the  statement  shall be  effective  for
financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The implementation of SFAS
No. 145 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's  financial  position
or results of operations.

In June 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated
with Exit or  Disposal  Activities,"  which  updates  accounting  and  reporting
standards for personnel and operational restructurings.  The Partnership adopted
SFAS No. 146 for exit,  disposal  or other  restructuring  activities  initiated
after  December 31,  2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material
effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's
Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,  Including  Indirect
Guarantees  of  Indebtedness  of Others."  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
material impact on the Partnership's finacial position or results of operations.

In December  2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation  - Transition  and Disclosure - an Amendment to SFAS No. 123." SFAS
No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
fair value based method on accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The
adoption  of SFAS No.  148 did not have a material  impact on the  Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

In  January   2003,   the  FASB  issued   Interpretation   No.  46  ("FIN  46"),
"Consolidation  of Variable  Interest  Entities." The adoption of FIN 46 did not
have a material  impact on the  Partnership's  financial  position or results of
operations.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
--------------------------------------------

As of the periods  presented,  the Partnership has acquired limited  partnership
interests  in six Local  Limited  Partnerships,  each of which owns one  Housing
Complex  consisting of an aggregate of 216 apartment units. As of June 30, 2003,
construction or rehabilitation of the Housing Complexes has been completed.  The
respective  general  partners  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  manage  the
day-to-day  operations of the entities.  Significant  Local Limited  Partnership
business decisions require approval from the Partnership.  The Partnership, as a
limited  partner,  is  generally  entitled to 99.98%,  as specified in the Local
Limited  Partnership  agreements,  of the operating profits and losses,  taxable
income and losses and tax credits of the Local Limited Partnerships.

Equity  in  losses  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  is  recognized  in the
financial  statements until the related  investment account is reduced to a zero
balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the  Partnership  will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net  income  equals  the share of net  losses  not  recognized  during  the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.

Distributions  received by limited  partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance.  Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are  recognized as income.  As of June 30, 2003, no investment  accounts in
Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

With  the  exception  of  the  discussion  regarding   historical   information,
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations"  and  other   discussions   elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-Q  contain
forward-looking  statements.  Such statements are based on current  expectations
subject to uncertainties and other factors,  which may involve known and unknown
risks that could cause actual  results of operations to differ  materially  from
those  projected or implied.  Further,  certain  forward-looking  statements are
based upon assumptions about future events, which may not prove to be accurate.

Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking  statements include, but are
not  limited  to,  our  future  cash  flows and  ability  to  obtain  sufficient
financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the low-income housing tax
credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings.
Historical  results are not necessarily  indicative of the operating results for
any future period.

Subsequent  written and oral  forward-looking  statements  attributable to us or
persons  acting on our behalf  are  expressly  qualified  in their  entirety  by
cautionary  statements  in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The following discussion should be read in
conjunction  with the  condensed  Financial  Statements  and the  Notes  thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

The following  discussion  and analysis  discusses the results of operations for
the three months  ended June 30, 2003 and June 30,  2002,  and should be read in
conjunction  with the condensed  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes
included within this report.

Financial Condition

The  Partnership's  assets at June 30, 2003  consisted  primarily of $661,000 in
cash  and  aggregate  investments  in the  six  Local  Limited  Partnerships  of
$7,712,000.  Liabilities  at June 30, 2003  primarily  consisted  of $197,000 of
notes  payable to limited  partnerships  and  $26,000  in accrued  expenses  and
management fees due to the General Partner or affiliates.

Results of Operations

Three Months  Ended June 30, 2003  Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002.
The  Partnership's  net loss  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2003 was
$(81,000)  reflecting  an  increase of  $(82,000)  from the net income of $1,000
experienced  for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  The increase in net loss
is primarily due to an increase of equity in losses from limited partnerships of
$(80,000)  from  $16,000 of income for the three  months  ended June 30, 2002 to
$(64,000)  of losses  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2003 as  properties
became  fully  operational.  Along with the  increase  of equity in losses  from
limited  partnerships,  loss from  operations  increased  by  $(2,000)  due to a
decrease in interest income of $4,000 and a decrease in other operating expenses
of approximately $(2,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Cash Flows

Year Ended June 30, 2003  Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2002.  Net decrease in
cash during the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $(2,000), compared to a net
decrease  in cash  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2002 of  $(123,000)
reflecting a decrease in cash used of  $121,000.  The change in net cash used is
due primarily to a decrease of $(119,000) in cash used in investing  activities,
due to the decrease in capital  contributions  to Local Limited  Partnerships as
their  balances  were paid down,  and a decrease  in net cash used by  financing
activities  by  $(3,000)  due to the  completion  of  syndication  process.  The
decrease  in cash used by  financing  activities  was offset by an  increase  of
$1,000 in cash used in operating activities for the three months June 30, 2003.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2003,  to be  sufficient  to meet all  currently  foreseeable
future cash requirements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

          NOT APPLICABLE

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

          Within  the 90 days  prior to the  date of this  report,  the  Company
          carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the
          participation  of the  Company's  management,  including the Company's
          Chief  Executive   Officer  and  Chief  Financial   Officer,   of  the
          effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's  disclosure
          controls and  procedures  pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a- 14. Based
          upon that evaluation,  the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
          Officer   concluded  that  the  Company's   disclosure   controls  and
          procedures  are effective.  There were no  significant  changes in the
          Company's   internal   controls  or  in  other   factors   that  could
          significantly  affect these  controls  subsequent to the date of their
          evaluation.

                                 CERTIFICATIONS

          I,   Wilfred N. Cooper, Jr., certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of WNC Housing
               Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P. Series 8;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly 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 quarterly
               report;

          3.   Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other
               financial  information included in this quarterly report,  fairly
               present in all material respects the financial condition, results
               of  operations  and cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for,
               the periods presented in this quarterly report;

          4.   The registrant's  other certifying  officer and I are responsible
               for   establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure   controls  and
               procedures  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
               for the registrant and we have:

               (a)  designed such  disclosure  controls and procedures 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 as of a date within 90 days prior to
                    the filing date of this  quarterly  report (the  "Evaluation
                    Date"); and

               (c)  presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                    effectiveness  of the  disclosure  controls  and  procedures
                    based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

          5.   The registrant's  other certifying  officer 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 function):

               (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 officer and I have indicated in
               this  quarterly  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

                                 CERTIFICATIONS

          I,   Thomas J. Riha, certify that:

          1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of WNC Housing
               Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P. Series 8;

          2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly 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 quarterly
               report;

          3.   Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other
               financial  information included in this quarterly report,  fairly
               present in all material respects the financial condition, results
               of  operations  and cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for,
               the periods presented in this quarterly report;

          4.   The registrant's  other certifying  officer and I are responsible
               for   establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure   controls  and
               procedures  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
               for the registrant and we have:

               (a)  designed such  disclosure  controls and procedures 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 as of a date within 90 days prior to
                    the filing date of this  quarterly  report (the  "Evaluation
                    Date"); and

               (c)  presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                    effectiveness  of the  disclosure  controls  and  procedures
                    based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

          5.   The registrant's  other certifying  officer 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 function):

               (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 officer and I have indicated in
               this  quarterly  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.
