within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;b)
    
    Designed such internal controls over financial

process, summarize and report financial
information; andb)
    
    Any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have
a significant role in the small business
issuers internal controls over financial
reporting.
