responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures
(as  defined  in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for the small
business issuer 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  small  business  issuer,
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) Evaluated the  effectiveness of the small business issuer's

issuer's  internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
small business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's
fourth  fiscal  quarter  in the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially
affected,  or is reasonably  likely to  materially  affect,  the small  business
issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

         5. The small business  issuer's other certifying  officer(s) and I have
disclosed,  based  on our  most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over
financial  reporting,  to the small  business  issuer's  auditors  and the audit

performing the equivalent function):

                  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 small business  issuer'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 small business
issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
