|2. | 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 misleading with

|3. | Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and
      other financial information included in this annual report, fairly present
      in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations
      and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
      this annual report;                   
|   |

      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 we have:                                                                                                

| | a) | designed such disclosure controls and procedures to

      being prepared;

      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 that has materially affected, or
      is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
      control over financial reporting; and

|5. | The registrant's other certifying officer and 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 function):
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | a) | all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
      the design or operation of our financial reporting internal controls which
      are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
      record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
