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

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  issuer's  internal
control over financial reporting.
