I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the Registrant.

2.

all deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and
