            (a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
caused  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under  our

            (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.
