other employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
internal controls over financial reportings; and

6. The small business issuer's other certifying officers and I have indicated in

controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
