2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
this report;

respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e)) for the registrant and have:

     a.   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to

consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;

     b.   Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure

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,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

     a.   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
design 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

other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting.
