I, Marvin Maslow, certify that:

small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual
report;

4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15(e)) for the small
business issuer and have:

       a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures or cause such
disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to
ensure that material information relating to the small business issuer,
including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report is
being prepared;

       b) evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's 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

its reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's internal

reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee of
small business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

       a) all significant deficiencies and material weakness in the design or
operation of internal controls 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
controls over financial reporting; and

6. The small business issuer's other certifying officers and I have indicated in
this annual report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
