("Registrant");

2 Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  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 quarterly
report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial

respects the financial  condition,  results of operations  and cash flows of the
Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4.  The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I  are  responsible  for
establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Registrant and we have:

         a) designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures  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 quarterly report is being prepared;

         b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's  disclosure controls
and  procedures  as of a date  within 90 days prior to the  filing  date of this

effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures based on our evaluation
as of the Evaluation Date;

5. The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,  based on our
most recent evaluation,  to the Registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
Registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

         a) all significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Registrant's  ability to record,
process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and have  identified  for the
Registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

         b) any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in the  Registrant's  internal
controls; and

6. The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and I have  indicated  in this
quarterly  report  whether or not there  were  significant  changes in  internal
controls or in other factors that could

deficiencies and material weaknesses.
