| | 2. |  | Based

| | 3. |  | Based

| | 4. |  | I
am  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure  controls  and
procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e)) for the
small business issuer and have:
| | -- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a) |  | Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures,  or caused such disclosure controls and
procedures  to be  designed  under  my  supervision,  to  ensure  that  material

during the period in which this report is being prepared;

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. |  | I
have  disclosed,  based on my 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
| |  | -- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | b) |  | 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.
