Company;
|
|
(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
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects

report;
|
|
(4)
|
The
Company's other certifying officer 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 Company and we
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 Company, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
report is
being prepared;
|
|
(b)
|
evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company'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 quarterly report based on such evaluation;
and
|
|
(c)
|
disclosed
in this quarterly report any change in the Company's internal control
over
financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent
fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting; and
|
|
(5)
|
The
Company's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the
Company's auditors and the audit committee of the Company'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 Company'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 Company's internal control
over financial reporting.
