                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Robert N. Shively, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Acting
Chief Financial Officer of PivX Solutions, Inc., certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of PivX Solutions,
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. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15(d)-(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 report is being prepared;

                    (b) Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business
          issuer'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; 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 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. 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.
