|   | (a) | The                  Company's management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief                  Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness                  of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007.                  The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules                  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls                  and other                  procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information                  required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files                  or                  submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized                  and                  reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.                  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,                  controls                  and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by                  a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange                  Act                  is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its                  principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate                  to                  allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management                  recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well                  designed                  and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance their objectives                  and                  management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit                  relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the                  evaluation                  of the Company’s disclosure control and procedures as of March 31, 2007,                  the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer                  concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure and procedures                  were effective at the reasonable assurance                  level. |

|   | (b) | No                  change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined                  in                  Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred                  during the                  three months ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected,                  or is                  reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal                  control                  over financial reporting. |
