          during the period in which this report is being prepared;

           Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
          internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,

           Disclosed in this report any change in the registrants internal control

          materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial
          reporting; and

                    our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
                    registrants auditors and the audit committee of the registrant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 registrants ability to record, process, summarize and
          report financial information; and
