the registrant and have:
a)
Designed such disclosure
controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures

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

to materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial
reporting; and
5.
The registrants
other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrants
accountants and the audit committee of the registrants board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

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 registrants 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 registrants internal control over financial
reporting.
