            disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed  under our

           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

         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
