 such  internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused such  internal  control
 over  financial                      reporting to be designed under our  supervision,

(the  registrants  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an                      annual
report) that has materially  affected,  or is reasonably  likely to materially  affect,
 the  registrants                      internal control over financial reporting.

 significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the design or  operation  of
