         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
         such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period

     3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this annual report, fairly present in all

     4.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
         establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
         we have:

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

             b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                 controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
                 the filing date of this annual report (the "Evaluation Date");
                 and

             c)  presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
                 effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
                 on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

     5.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
         on our 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 officers and I have indicated in this
         annual 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.
