                         ______________

I, Stephen F. Hiu, certify that:

  1. I  have  reviewed  this quarterly report on Form 10 QSB/A of
     IGENE Biotechnology, Inc.;

  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 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 small business
     issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

  4. The small business issuer's other certifying  officer(s) 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 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  small  business  issuer,
          including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made  known
          to  us  by  others within those entities,  particularly
          during  the  period  in  which  this  report  is  being
          prepared;

          (b)  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
          report based on such evaluation; and

          (c)  Disclosed in this report any change in  the  small
          business   issuer's  internal  control  over  financial
          reporting  that  occurred  during  the  small  business
          issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
          issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
          report)  that has materially affected, or is reasonably
          likely   to  materially  affect,  the  small   business
          issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

  5. The  small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) 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 functions):

          (a)   All   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.
