Bancorporation, Inc.;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

4. The registrant’s other certifying officer
and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure

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

Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting that occurred

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
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.
