smaller reporting company and have:
  (a)           designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

information relating to the smaller reporting company, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
  (b)           designed

significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
adversely affect the smaller reporting company’s ability to record, 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 smaller reporting company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
