              such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

              during the small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter that
              has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
              affect, the small business issuer's internal control over
              financial reporting; and

5. The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee of
the small business issuer'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 small business
              issuer'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 small business
              issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
