       filed); and

     - no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
       statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under
       which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered
       by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
       proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

  (2)  I  have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's  audit
