and have:

    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such

including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being

board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuers ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial data; 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 control over financial reporting.
