I, Martin W. McClanan,  Interim Chief Executive  Officer of Harvey  Electronics,

1.   I have  reviewed  this annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     October 28, 2006;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this 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 annual
     report;

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

4.   The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I are  responsible  for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)  for the  Registrant  and we
     have: a) Designed such disclosure  controls and procedures,  or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
     ensure that material  information  relating to the Registrant is made known
     to us by others,  particularly  during  the period in which this  report is
     being  prepared;   b)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  Registrant's
     disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in this  report  our
     conclusions  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  disclosure   controls  and
     procedures,  as of the end of the year covered by this report based on such
     evaluation;  and c) Disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant's
     internal  control  over  financial   reporting  that  occurred  during  the
     Registrant's  fourth fiscal  quarter that has  materially  affected,  or is
     reasonably likely to materially affect,  the Registrant's  internal control
     over financial reporting; and

5.   The Registrant's  other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the Registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of Registrant's board of
     directors:

     a)   All significant deficiencies and any material weaknesses in the design
          or operation of internal  control over financial  reporting  which are
          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
          control over financial reporting.
