CERTIFICATION

I, Paul D. Hamm, certify that:

         1. I have  reviewed this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB of CeriStar,
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 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
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly 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  quarterly  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 fourth fiscal quarter 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 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  controls 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 controls over financial reporting.
