                          RULE 13A-14(a) CERTIFICATION

I, Howard Taylor, certify that:

1.    I  have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of River Capital
Group, 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
information included in this 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.    As the sole certifying  officer, I am  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  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)   designed such internal  control over financial  reporting,  or caused
           such internal  control over financial  reporting to be designed under
           my  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 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

      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.    As the sole certifying officer, 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 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.
