|
| 1. |
I
have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB/A of Life Partners
Holdings, Inc.;
|
| 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; and
|
| 3. |
Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
included in this annual 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 annual report;
and
|
| 4. |
The
registrant’s other certifying officers 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 annual 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 officers 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 function):
|
| (a) |
all
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control
over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to 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.
