                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Maureen Brogan, certify that:

1. I have  reviewed  this annual  report on Form 10-KSB of Hornby  International
Inc.

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. As the certifying  officer, I am responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and
15d-14) for the registrant and have:

     a.   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to ensure  that
          material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,   including  its
          consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to me 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 as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     c.   presented   in  this   annual   report  the   conclusions   about  the
          effectiveness  of the disclosure  controls and procedures  based on my
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5. As the registrant's  certifying officer, I have disclosed,  based on the most
recent  evaluation,  to the  registrant's  auditors  and the audit  committee of
registrant's   board  of  directors  (or  persons   performing   the  equivalent
functions):

     a.   all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          controls  which could  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record,  process,   summarize  and  report  financial  data  and  have
          identified for the  registrant's  auditors any material  weaknesses in
          internal controls; and

     b.   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          controls; and

6. As the  registrant's  certifying  officer,  I have  indicated  in this annual
report whether or not there were significant  changes in internal controls or in
other factors that could  significantly  affect internal controls  subsequent to
the date of the most recent  evaluation,  including any corrective  actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the undersigned has executed this  certification as of the
20th day of August 2003.
