The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company's Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the date of its most recently filed periodic report (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).

The Company’s auditors, at all relevant times, have been duly registered in good standing with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. |
