    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc.;2.
    
    Based on my knowledge, this quarterly 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 quarterly 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
report;4.
    
    The registrant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) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we 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 registrant,
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)
    
    Designed such internal controls over
financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be
designated under our supervision, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles;(c)
    
    Evaluated the effectiveness of the
registrants disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this quarterly
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(d)
    
    Disclosed in this report any change in the
registrants internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the
registrants most recent fiscal quarter that
has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the
registrants internal control over financial
reporting.
 5.
    
    The registrants other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and the
audit committee of the registrant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 registrant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 registrants
internal control over financial reporting.
