         1. I have  reviewed  this  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-QSB  of NACO
Industries, 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

         4. The small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer  and I are
responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13(a)-15(e)  and  15(d)-15(e))  for the small
business issuer's and we 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. The small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer 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  (or  persons
performing the equivalent function):

         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 controls.
