           and

       persons performing the equivalent functions):

       (a) 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 finan-
           cial information; and

       (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
           other employees who have a significant role in the small business
