              Based

      business issuer and we 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 annual report is
being prepared;

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 small business issuer’s board of directors (or persons performing the
      equivalent function):
 
 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 data and have identified for 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.
