         period in which this report is being prepared;

      b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused

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

         or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
         are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability

      b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
         other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
