                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Carlton Fleming, as Chief Executive Officer of Opus Communities, Inc. (the
"Company"), certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of the Company;

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
small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual
report;

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and 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  myself by others within those entities, particularly during
          the period in which this annual 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  controls  over  financial  reporting that occurred
          during  the  small  business issuer's most recent fiscal year that has
          materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the
          small  business  issuer's  internal controls over financial reporting;
          and

5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) 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;

     (a)  all  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in  the
          design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
          are  reasonable 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
