I, Patrick R. Mawhinney, Chief Financial Officer of Navidec, Inc., certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Navidec, 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; and

         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. The registrant's other certify officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as determined
in Exchange act Rules 131-14 and 15Q-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 know to us by
                  other within those entities, particularly during the period in
                  which this quarterly 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 report (the "Evaluation Date") and

         c)       Presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                  effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
                  on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

         5. The registrant's other certify officers and I have disclosed, passed
on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee of the registrant's board of directors;

         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 weakness 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. The registrant's other certify officers and I have indicated in this
quarterly report whether there where significant changes in internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to
the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
