                                  -------------

         I, Mark Lindberg, certify that:

1.       I have  reviewed  this  annual  report  on  Form  10-KSB  of  Photonics
         Corporation.

2.       Based on my  knowledge,  this annual report does not contain any untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this quarterly report;

3.       Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included  in this  annual  report,  fairly  present in all
         material  respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
         cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this annual report;

4.       The registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
         have:

                  a) designed such disclosure  controls and procedures to ensure
                  that  material   information   relating  to  the   registrant,
                  including its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made known to us
                  by others  within  those  entities,  particularly  during  the
                  period in which this annual report is being prepared;

                  b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
                  controls and  procedures  as of a date within 90 days prior to
                  the filing date of this annual report (the "Evaluation Date");
                  and

                  c) presented in this annual report our  conclusions  about the
                  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures based
                  on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most recent  evaluation,  to the  registrant's  auditors and the
         audit  committee  of  registrant's   board  of  directors  (or  persons
         performing the equivalent functions):

                  a) all significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of
                  internal   controls   which   could   adversely   affect   the
                  registrant's ability to record, process,  summarize and report
                  financial  data  and  have  identified  for  the  registrant's
                  auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; 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; and

6.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
         quarterly  report  whether  or not there  were  significant  changes in
         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.
