         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
         under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to

         we have:

(a)      designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
         material information relating to the Company, including its

         entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
         report is being prepared;

         audit committee of Company'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 Company's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
         identified for the Company'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 Company's internal
         controls; and

6.       The Company'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 our most recent
         evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to
