evaluated the eÅectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is deÑned in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ""Exchange Act'')) as of the

Executive OÇcer and Chief Financial OÇcer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are eÅective such that
material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it Ñles or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods speciÑed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms relating to the Company.
During the last quarter of 2003, there have been no changes to the Company's internal control over
Ñnancial reporting that have materially aÅected, or are reasonably likely to materially aÅect, the Company's
