            Based on my knowledge, this
      annual 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

      control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
      13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and
  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 report is being prepared;





(b)           Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide

generally accepted accounting principles;

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 our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's
      auditors and the audit committee of 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 controls over financial
reporting.
