|2. | Based on
 my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material
 fact or omit to state a material fact necessary 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 report;
|3. | Based on my knowledge, the
financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in
all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company
as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

 controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))

| | 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 company, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by                   others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is                   being
prepared;

| | b) | Evaluated
the effectiveness of the company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
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c) | Disclosed
in this report any change in the companys internal control over financial
                  reporting that occurred during the period covered by the annual report
that has                   materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the companys internal                   control over financial reporting;
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|5. | The company's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the company's auditors and the audit committee of company's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 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 company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 company's internal control over financial
reporting.
