         (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

         in which this report is being prepared;

         has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
         the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting;
         and

         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 small business
