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

defined in Exchange 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

others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;

in this report any change in the small business issuers internal control over

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 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.
