Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, our CEO
and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
our disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered
by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Signatures
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereto duly authorized.
