I, David A.

1. I have reviewed
this Quarterly

National
Bancorporation, 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

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 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 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.
