 (a)    Designed such
disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and

reporting; and

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 financial information; and
 
 (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.
