               material fact or omit to state a material fact   necessary to make the
               statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were

Registrants other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosures controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules

| | 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 Registrant, 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;
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the effectiveness of the Registrant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

in this report any change in the Registrants internal control                over
financial reporting that occurred during the Registrants most recent
               fiscal quarter (the Registrants fourth fiscal quarter in the case of
an                annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Registrants internal control over financial reporting; and

| | (5) | The
Registrants other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
               our most recent evaluation of internal control over   financial

the                Registrants board of directors (or person performing
the equivalent functions):
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | a. | all
significant deficiencies and material weakness 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
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b. | any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the                   Registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
