         (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
            disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

            fiscal half-year in the case of an annual report) 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 officer(s) and I have disclosed to

            or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
            reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
            record, process, summarize, and report financial information; and

         (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
            other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
