 The registrants other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

being prepared;

| | (c) |  | disclosed in
this report any change in the registrants internal control over financial

disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrants
auditors and the audit committee of registrants board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent function):

significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which
could adversely affect the registrants ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial data and have identified for the
registrants auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

| | (b) |  | any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrants internal controls; and

6.  The registrants other certifying officer and I have
indicated in this quarterly report whether there were significant changes in
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
