respect to the period covered by this annual report;

4. The registrants other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 (e)

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

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

control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide

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

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
