   Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) 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

   its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
   entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report is
   being prepared;

b. Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such

   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
   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.
