Inc.;

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

misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly 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
registrant and I have:

    a)     designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to ensure that
           material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its
           consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
           entities,  particularly  during the  period in which  this  quarterly
           report is being prepared;

    b)     evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls

           the disclosure controls and procedures based on our evaluation as of

most recent evaluation,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

    a)     all  significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
           controls which could  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
           record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have
           identified for the registrant'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  registrant's internal
           controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in this 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 our most recent  evaluation,  including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
