1.    I have reviewed this report on Form 10-K of the Company;

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 registrant as

4.    I am responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and
procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e)) for the
registrant and have:

      (a)   Designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
disclosure  controls and  procedures  to be designed  under my  supervision,  to
ensure that  material  information  relating to the  registrant,  including  its
consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to me by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

      (b)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure controls
and  procedures   and  presented  in  this  report  my  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  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;
and

5.    I have disclosed,  based on my most recent  evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting,  to the registrant's  auditors and the audit committee
of the  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 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 control
over financial reporting.
