have:

|
designed such

particularly during the period in which this report is being

|
b)
|

reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’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 registrant’s internal controls over
financial reporting.
