      a.  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to

          internal controls; and

          employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal

      controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
      controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including
      any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
      material weaknesses.
