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 quarterly report is being prepared;

         (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused

financial reporting; and

5. The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our

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

other employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal control
over financial reporting.
