| | 2. | Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement
               of 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

| | 3. | Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
               included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects the

| | 4. | The registrants other certifying officers and I are responsible for

               Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant 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 registrant, 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;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) | evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants disclosure controls and
          procedures and presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2003
          (the Evaluation Date); and
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c) | disclosed in this annual report any change in the registrants internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants most
          recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
          materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial
          reporting.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 5. | The registrants other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
               our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, 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 and material weakness in the design or operation of
          internal controls 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.
