      likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over
      financial reporting; and

directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

      process, summarize and report financial information; and

            (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
      other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
      control over financial reporting.
