Item 2 - Controls and Procedures

2(a) - The registrant's certifying officers have reasonably designed such
       disclosure controls and procedures to ensure material information
       relating to the registrant is made known to us by others particularly
       during the period in which this report is being prepared. The
       registrant's certifying officers have determined that the registrant's
       disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on our evaluation
       of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the
       filing date of this report.

2(b) - There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over financial
       reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act (17 CFR
       270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the period
       covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably
       likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over
       financial reporting.
