         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary

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

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;

         internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our

         issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) 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

         (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

         ability to record,  process,  summarize and report financial
         information; and

b)       Any fraud,  whether or not material, that involves management or other
