        operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably
        likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, 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
