         which this quarterly report is being prepared;

         (b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused

         external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles;

         (c) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls

         likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
         financial reporting; and

     5. The Company's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the

         or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company'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 Company's internal
         control over financial reporting.
