for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in  Exchange  Act Rules  13(a)-15(e)  and  15(d)-15(e))  for the small  business
issuer's and we 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

         in which this report is being prepared;

         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 and I have disclosed,
based  on  our  most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial

equivalent function):

         and

         b) Any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
