| c)   | Disclosed                in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over                financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent                fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an                annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely                to                materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial                reporting; and |

| 5.   | The                small business issuer’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed,                based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial                reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the                registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent                function): |
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 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 |
|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
