    1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of the Company;

    2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue

    4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we 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
        quarterly report is being prepared;

    (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
        procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
        of the period covered by this report; and

    (c) disclosed in this report any changes in the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting 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 registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
function):

    (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
