  particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;b)
designed

  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; andb)
any fraud,
  whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have
  a significant role in the registrants internal controls.  Date: May
