|2. | Based
on my knowledge, this 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

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

|3. | Based

          included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
          condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business issuer as
          of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|4. | I
am 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
                    controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure that                     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;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Evaluated  the
effectiveness of the small business issuers disclosure                     controls
and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
                    effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
end of the                     period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and

| | (c) | Disclosed  in
this report any change in the small business issuers                     internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
                    business issuers most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
                    issuers fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report)
that has                     materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the small                     business issuers internal control over
financial reporting;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|5. | I
have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
          financial reporting, to the small business issuers auditors and the audit
          committee of the small business issuers board of directors (or persons
          performing the equivalent functions):
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (a) | All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or 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
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
                    who have a significant role in the small business issuers internal control
                    over financial reporting.
