        on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
        of
        a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
        the

 3.           Based
        on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
        included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects

        of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;
 
 4.           The

        and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
        Act
        Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we 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 quarterly report is being prepared;

        the effectiveness of the registrant'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 upon such evaluation; and
 
 (c)           Disclosed
        in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial
        reporting that occurred during the registrants' most recent 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 officer and I have disclosed, based on our

        recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
        registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
        directors:
 
 (a)           All
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of
        internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
        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
