2.
Based
on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of
a

Based

4.
The
Registrant’s other certifying officers 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 ensure that material
information relating to the Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this annual report is being prepared;
b.
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report my conclusions about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
this
report based on such evaluation; and
c.
Disclosed
in this report any change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the period covered by the 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 officers and I have disclosed, based on my most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
Registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of Registrant’s Board of Directors
(or persons performing the equivalent function):
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 data; and
b.
Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who
have a significant role in the Registrant’s internal control over financial
reporting.
