on my knowledge, this amended annual report does not contain any untrue

registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing
and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act

(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 amended annual report is being prepared;

directors:





(a)           All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses 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 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.
