            which this annual report is being prepared;

      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 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.
