| |  | (b) |  | Designed

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

| | 5. |  | 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 committee of the
small business issuer’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 small business issuer’s ability         to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and
| |  | --- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
