Development Corporation, certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this report on Form 10-KSB of Ashlin Development
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 annual report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
small business owner as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

         4. I am currently the sole officer and employee of the small business
issuer 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 me by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in which this 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 and controls 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 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. I have disclosed, based on my 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.
