such disclosure  controls and procedures,  or caused such disclosure  controls and
procedures to be designed  under my supervision,  to ensure that material  information

|(b) |  | Any
fraud,  whether  or not  material,  that  involves  management  or other  employees  who
have a  significant  role in the  registrant`s internal control over financial reporting.
