other certifying officers 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)) for the small business issuer and have:

(a)     
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

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)     
evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure controls

reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's control over
financial reporting; and.

5.      The small business issuer's
other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the small business
