                           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

known to us by others within those entities,           particularly during the period in

                           Disclosed in this report
any change in the small business issuers           internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the small           business issuers most recent
fiscal quarter (the small business           issuers fourth fiscal quarter in the
case of an annual report) that has           materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the small           business issuers internal control over
financial reporting; and

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

| | (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
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)
                           Any fraud, whether or not

reporting.
