2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
    a material 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;

    responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and

    the small business issuer and have:

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

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

         (b) [Omitted pursuant to SEC Release Nos. 33-8238 and 34-47986]

         (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
    internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the small
    business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
    or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's
    internal control over financial reporting; and

5.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have
    disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal 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.
