|
1.
|
I
have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Protein
Polymer Technologies, 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(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 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)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
under our supervision, 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;
|
|
(c)
|
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
|
|
(d)
|
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(s) 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 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.
