In connection with the Quarterly Report of SmartVideo Technologies, Inc.
(the "Company") on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof, I, Richard
E. Bennett, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, certify, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, that:

1.      I have reviewed the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB of the Company for
the quarter ended September 30, 2003;

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.      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 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.      I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and 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.
