|
2.
|
Based
on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
this quarterly report;
|
3.
|
Based

included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects
the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the

report;
|
4.

The

control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15(d)-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 subsidiary, is made known to us by others within that entity,
particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being
prepared;
|
|
b.
|
designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal

provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles;
|
|
c
|
evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report our 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
|
|
d.
|
disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal controls 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 controls over financial
reporting.
|
5.
|
The
registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal controls 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.
