EXHIBIT 31.2

                            CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                         THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

     I, Stephen A. Read, certify that:

1.            I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of ClearStory
              Systems, 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 quarterly
              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 quarterly report;

4.            The small business issuer'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)) 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 quarterly
              report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
              controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
              this quarterly report based on such evaluation; and

c.            Disclosed in this quarterly 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 quarterly 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 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.
