                    issuers fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
                    materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small
                    business issuers internal control over financial reporting; and

                    disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
                    financial reporting, to the small business issuers auditors and the audit
                    committee of small business 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 small business issuers ability to record, process,
                    summarize and report financial information; and
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    who have a significant role in the small business issuers internal control
                    over financial reporting.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|6. | The registrants other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
                    quarterly 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 of my most recent evaluation, including any corrective
                    actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
