I, Josie Ben Rubi, certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of OCTuS, 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 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(s) 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 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) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
                  caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
                  designed under our 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) 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(s) 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.
