untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;
|

financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present
in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations

| | a) |  | Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed

|
| | c) |  | Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrants
disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report
our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
this report based on such evaluation; and                                                                                                
|
| | d) |  | Disclosed in this report any change in the registrants
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the registrants most recent fiscal quarter (the registrants
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the registrants internal control over financial
reporting.



|5. |  | The registrants other certifying officer 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):

operation of internal control over financial reporting which are

|
| | (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.
