            (a)   All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
                  internal controls which could adversely affect the
                  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                  report financial data and have identified for the
                  registrant's auditors, any material weaknesses in internal
                  controls; and

            (b)   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the
                  registrant's internal controls; and

         6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in
            this quarterly report whether or not there were significant
            changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
            significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of
