     SGD HOLDINGS, LTD. FORM 10-KSB FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2004
   CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350
                             AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Terry Washburn, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of SGD Holdings, Ltd.
     (the registrant);
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;
3.   Based on my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements, and other
     financial information included in this annual report, fairly present in all
     material respects the consolidated financial condition, consolidated
     results of operations and consolidated cash flows of the registrant as of,
     and for, the periods presented in this annual report;
4.   I am 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 my supervision, to
     ensure that material information relating to the registrant, 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) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
     procedures and presented in this report my 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
     controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
     fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
     to materially affect, the registrant'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 registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of the 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.

                                                     /s/ Terry Washburn
