            The
                small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are 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; and





(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.





(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; and





5.  The
      small
      business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our


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.
