I, Scott Mac Caughern, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Amnis Systems 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

financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of the small business

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))  and  internal  control  over
financial  reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))
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) Designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or
caused such internal  control over financial  reporting to be designed under our

financial  reporting and the  preparation  of financial  statements for external
purposes in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles;

         (c)  Evaluated  the   effectiveness  of  the  small  business  issuer's

         (d) 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.
