I, Gary E. Ball, certify that:

     1. I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of Advance
Technologies Inc.;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this Form 10-KSB 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 represent 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. The registrant's other certifying officers 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)) for the registrant and have:

          i) 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;

          ii) 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; and

          iii) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
     internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
     registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth
     fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
     affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
     registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and



     5. The registrant's other certifying officers and 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 the
registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

          i) All significant deficiencies 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

          ii) 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.
