L.L.C. ("Company"), certify that:

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

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 respect to the period covered by

     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
     procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the
     Company and have:

     a.   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the Company is made known to me by
          others, particularly during the period in which this annual report is
          being prepared;

     b.   Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
          procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     c.   Presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.   I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the Company's
     auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors (or persons
     performing the equivalent functions):

     a.   All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to record,
          process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for
          the Company's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls,
          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; and

6.   I have indicated in this annual report whether or not there were
     significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
     significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of my most
     recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to
     significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
