          (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to

including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being

affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

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.
