is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared; b. designed

materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrants internal control over financial reporting; and   5. The
registrants other certifying officer(s) 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 functions): a. all
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting  which could 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 controls over financial
reporting. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this
