I, John T. Gauthier, certify that:

 

| 1.     |   |   | I have reviewed this quarterly report on        Form 10-Q of Bridge Technology, 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 registrant as of, and for, the periods presented        in this 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 15d-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 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 (the registrant’s fourth        fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) 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        reasonably 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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
