|--------|----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | a) | designed                such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure                controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure                that material information relating to the registrant, including its                consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me 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                and presented in this quarterly report my conclusions about the                effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the                end of                the period covered by this quarterly report based on such evaluation;                and |
|--------|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | c) | disclosed                in this quarterly report any change in the registrant’s internal control                over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent                fiscal quarter (the registrant’s forth quarter in the case of an annual                report) that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially                affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting;                and |
|--------|----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 5. | The                Company’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on my most                recent evaluation in internal control over financial reporting, to                the                registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of                directors (or persons performing the equivalent                functions): |
|--------|----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | a) | all                significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control                which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability                to record, process, summarize and report information;                and |
|--------|----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | b) | any                fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other                employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control                over financial reporting. |
