          b. Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves  management or
     other  employees  who have a  significant  role in the  Company's  internal
     controls; and

significant  changes  in  internal  controls  or in  other  factors  that  could
significantly  affect internal controls subsequent to the date of my most recent
evaluation,   including  any  corrective  actions  with  regard  to  significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
