fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
with respect to the period covered by this report;

registrants’ other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and

defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrants and
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 registrants, including their consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

in this report any change in the registrants’ internal control over financial

materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrants’ internal control over financial reporting; and





5.  The
registrants’ other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrants’ auditors and the audit committee of the registrants’ board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
adversely affect the registrants’ 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 registrants’ internal control over financial
reporting.
