I,
Philip S. Pesin, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB of Auriga Laboratories,           Inc. for the quarter ended
September 30, 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 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 that has materially affected, or is           reasonably
likely to materially affect, the small business issuers           internal control
over financial reporting;
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
