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

particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

                  b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or

                  c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
controls and procedures and presented in this report our  conclusions  about the

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 reasonably  likely to
materially affect, the registrant's  internal control over financial  reporting;
and

         5. The registrant's  other certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed,

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

                  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.
