(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,

      in which this annual report is being prepared;

      internal control over financial reporting; and

      company’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most
      recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, to the
      company’s auditors and the audit committee of company’s Board of Directors (or
      persons performing the equivalent function):

      significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
      of

      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 controls over financial
      reporting.
