I,
      John
      C. Lipman, certify that:





1. I
      have
      reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of Carter Acquisition Corp. I;





2. Based
      on my
      knowledge, this annual 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 annual report;





3. Based
      on my
      knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
      in
      this annual 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 annual 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 registrant
      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 registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
      is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
      period in which this annual report is being prepared;





b) evaluated the
      effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
      controls and procedures and presented in this 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;





c) disclosed
      in
      this report any change in 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; and





5. 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
      registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
      functions):





a) all
      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.
