     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the

          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

          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.
