2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
    of a 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 made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial

4. The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I are
    responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and

    internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
    13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:
5. 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 report
      is being prepared;
6. Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
      internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our

      internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
      business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's

      affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
      issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and
9. 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

    performing the equivalent functions):
10. 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
11. 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.
