period covered by this report;3.

    The Registrants other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Registrant and have:
 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 during the period in
which this quarterly report is being prepared;b.

accounting principles;c.
    
    Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrants disclosure controls

    Disclosed in this report any change in the Registrants internal

    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
 b.
    
    any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant
role in the Registrants internal control over
financial reporting.
