          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
          Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and have:

               information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,

               period in which this annual report is being prepared;

|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

               financial reporting; and
