Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 day period prior to the date of this report, the Company, with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that information required to
be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded and reported within the appropriate time periods. Based upon
that review, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective. Subsequent to completion of the evaluation
process, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
