2.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  this  interim report does not contain any untrue
     statement  of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to

     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Registrant 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
          registrant,  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;

          fist  fiscal  quarter  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 of internal control over financial reporting,
     to  the  registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's
     board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a)   All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weakness  in the design
          or  operation  of  internal control over financial reporting which are
          reasonably  likely  to  adversely  affect  the registrant's ability to
          record,  process, summarize and report financial data and information;
          and

     b)   Any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material,  that  involves management or
          other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in the registrant's
