                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

            d)    disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
                  the most recent fiscal quarter 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 to
            the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
            registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the

            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
