|   | 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 officers 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  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. |
