 a)

controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;b)

over financial reporting; and

    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design 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; andb)
    
    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in the registrants internal control over financial reporting.
