       particularly  during  the  period in which  this  annual  report is being

       employees  who  have a  significant  role  in the  registrant's  internal
       controls; and

6.  I am the registrant's  only certifying  officer and I have indicated in this
    annual  report  whether or not there were  significant  changes in  internal
    controls  or in other  factors  that  could  significantly  affect  internal
    controls subsequent to the date or our most recent evaluation, including any
    corrective  actions  with regard to  significant  deficiencies  and material
    weaknesses.
