2.
Based on my knowledge, this report does not

The registrant’s other certifying officer(s)
and I are responsible for establishing and

control over financial reporting (as
defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) 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 report
is
being prepared;
(b)
Designed such internal control over financial
reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial

for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles;

Evaluated the effectiveness
of the registrant’s disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report

Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s
internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during
the
registrant’s most recent fiscal
quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal
quarter in the case 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
(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.
