establishing  and  maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14)  for  the  registrant  and  we  have:

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

based  on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee  of  registrant's  board  of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the
equivalent  function):

     a)    All  significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability to record,
process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have  identified for the
registrant's  auditors  any  material  weaknesses  in  internal  controls;  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; and

     6.    The  registrant's  other  certifying officers and I have indicated in
this  annual  report  whether  or not there were significant changes in internal
controls  or  in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent  to  the date or our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions  with  regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.
