     Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Small Business Issuer");

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 annual 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 Small  Business  Issuer as of, and for,  the periods  presented in this
     annual report;

4)   The Small Business Issuer'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 Small
     Business Issuer and we have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   control  and   procedures   to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Small
          Business  Issuer,  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; and

      b)  designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
          such internal  control over  financial  reporting to be designed under
          our  supervision,   to  provide  resonable   assurance  regarding  the
          reliability  of financial  reporting and the  preparation fo financial
          statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles;

     c)   evaluated the effectiveness of the Small Business Issuer'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 period  covered by this annual  report based on such
          evaluation; and

5)   The Small Business Issuer's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,
     based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control  over  financial
     reporting,  to the Small Business Issuer's auditors and the audit committee
     of the Small Business  Issuer's  board of directors (or persons  performing
     the equivalent function):

     a)   all  significant  deficiencies  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 data; 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 controls over financial reporting.
