| | a. | Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
                    controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
                    material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
                    subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly

                    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 reasonably likely to

                    reporting; and

               our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
               registrants auditors and the audit committee of 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 registrants ability to record, process, summarize and
                    report financial information; and
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
