| | d. | 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 (the 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. The registrants other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and the audit committee of the
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
