                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, D. Brian Plunkett, certify that:

1.     I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Aquis
       Communications Group, 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 quarterly report;


3.     Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
       information included in this 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
       quarterly report;

4.     The registrant'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 15(d)-15(e)) for the
       registrant and 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 registrant, including its
                  consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                  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 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 registrant's
                  internal control over financial reporting that occurred
                  during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter 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 officer 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
       registrant'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 likely to adversely affect the
                  registrant'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 registrant's internal control over financial
                  reporting.
