  2. The Report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or

  1. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible
     for establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting
     controls, subject to the approval and supervision of the Audit Committee
     and Board of Directors.  The Company's system of internal accounting
     controls is designed to assure, among other items, that material
     information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is
     made known on a timely basis to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
     Financial Officer.

  2. He has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls as
     of July 31, 2002, and has concluded that such controls are operating, as

     receive all material information necessary to produce financial
     statements that present fairly the financial condition, results of
     operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods
     presented in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.  He has not identified as of July 31, 2002, any significant
     deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of the
     Company's internal controls to disclose to the Company's Audit Committee
     or independent auditors.

  3. He has not identified any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
     management or other employees who have a significant role in the
     Company's system of internal controls to disclose to the Company's Audit
     Committee or independent auditors.

  4. There have been no significant changes in the Company's system of
     internal accounting controls or in other factors that could significantly
     affect the Company's system of accounting controls from July 31, 2002, to
     the date the Report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
