I, Judi Irving certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this Amendment No. 1 to the annual report on Form
10-K of HemaCare Corporation.

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;

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 the annual report:

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-14 and 15b-14) for the registrant and
we have:

     a.   designed such disclosure controls and procedures 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 procedure as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing
date of this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

    c.   presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation, 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 controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability
to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
internal controls; and

     b.   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
controls; and

6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in
this  annual  report  whether or not there  were  significant changes  in
internal  controls or in other  factors  that  could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
