| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 1. |  | I
have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of PACE Health Management
          Systems, Inc.;
| | -- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2. |  | Based
on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue           statement of
a material fact necessary to make the statements, 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 small business
          issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
| | -- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 4. |  | I
am 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 my supervision, to ensure that           material
information relating to the small business issuer, including its           consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to me 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 my 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 (the small business issuers           fourth 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. |  | I
have disclosed, based on my 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.
