      defined in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for the small
      business user and have:

           (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or caused such
           disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under the Company's
           supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating to the
           small business user, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made

           period in which this annual report is being prepared;

           (c) Disclosed in this annual report any change in the small  business

           fourth  fiscal  quarter  in the case of an  annual  report)  that has
           materially  affected,  or is reasonably likely to materially  affect,
           small business user's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.    The small business user's other certifying  officers and I have disclosed,
      based on the Company's  most recent  evaluation  of internal  control over
      financial  reporting,  to the small business user's auditors and the audit
      committee  of  small  business  user'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
           user's  ability to record,  process,  summarize and report  financial
           information; and

           (b) Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or
