 2.
          Based
          on my knowledge, this 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 this report;
 3.
          Based
          on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
          included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
          condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business issuer
          as
          of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
 4.
          The
          small business issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
          in
          Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial
          reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) 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)
          Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
          internal
          control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
          to
          provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
          and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
          with generally accepted accounting principles;
 (c)
          Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s disclosure controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of the
          period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
 (d)
          Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer’s internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business
          issuer’s fourth fiscal quarter 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 committee of the small
          business issuer’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 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
