                    CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO RULE 13A-14(A)
                     OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
                    AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE

I, Edward L. Fischer, certify that:


1.      I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of DSA Financial
        Corporation;

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 quarterly 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.      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 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
        for the small business issuer and have:

                a.      Designed such disclosure controls and procedures or
                        caused such disclosure controls 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 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.
