      3. Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial

      4. The registrant'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
registrant and have:

            (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
disclosure  controls and  procedures to be designed  under our  supervision,  to

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

financial  reporting and the  preparation  of financial  statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

            (c)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure

            (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
quarterly  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

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 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 registrant's internal control
over financial reporting.
