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
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s)and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

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

         us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
         which this report is being prepared;

                  (b) designed such internal control over financial reporting,

         reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
         statement for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles;

                  (c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
         controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions

         evaluation;

         or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

(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 registrant's
         ability to record, 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
