the expense side, to share sales, financial and operations resources

I
have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Stratus Media
Group,
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
smaller
reporting company as of, and for, the periods presented in this
report;
|
4. |
The
smaller reporting company’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))
and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
Act
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the smaller reporting company
and
have:
|
a. |
Determined
that disclosure controls and procedures need to be strengthened to
ensure
that material information relating to the small business issuer,
including
its subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being
prepared. We have reviewed all relevant transactions for the
period being reported and are satisfied that the reports presented
herein
are materially correct as
presented;
|
b. |
Reviewed
transactions during the periods presented 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. We intend to design such internal
control
over financial reporting, or cause such internal control over financial
reporting to be designed under our supervision to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting;
|
c. |
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the smaller reporting company’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
|
d. |
Disclosed
in this report any change in the smaller reporting company’s internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the smaller
reporting company’s most recent fiscal quarter (the smaller reporting
company’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the
smaller reporting company’s internal control over financial reporting;
and
|
5. |
The
smaller reporting company’s other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
over
financial reporting, to the smaller reporting company’s auditors and the
audit committee of the smaller reporting company’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 smaller reporting company’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 smaller reporting company’s
internal control over financial
reporting.
