      affect, the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

      adversely affect the small business issuer's ability to record, process, summarize and
      report financial information; and

(b) Any fraud, whether r not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's internal control over
