|-- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2. |  | Based
on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue           statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make           the

|3. |  | Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
          included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the
          financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business

|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|4. |  | I

          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
                    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;
| | -- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) |  | Evaluated
the effectiveness of the small business issuers disclosure
                    controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
about the                     effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
of the end of the                     period covered by this report based on such
evaluation; and
| | -- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c) |  | Disclosed
in this report any change in the small business issuers internal
                    control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
business                     issuers most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
issuers                     fourth 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. |  | I
have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
          financial reporting, to the small business issuers auditors and the audit
          committee of the small business issuers board of directors (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 reasonably
likely to                     adversely affect the small business issuers ability
to record, process,                     summarize and report financial information: and
| | -- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) |  | Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
                    who have a significant role in the small business issuers
internal control                     over financial reporting.
