     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to

4.   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)) 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 report is being prepared;

          13a-15 (f)) that occurred during the  registrant's  most recent fiscal
          quarter  that has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to
          materially  affect,  the registrant's  internal control over financial
          reporting;  and

5.   The issuer's other  certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based on our
     most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
     issuer's  auditors  and  the  audit  committee  of the  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 issuer'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 issuer's internal control
          over financial reporting.
