I, David A. Kraemer, Chief Executive Officer of Bestway, Inc., certify that:

         1.       I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Bestway,
                  Inc.;

         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 Bestway, Inc. as of,
                  and for, the periods presented in this 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-15(e) and 15d-15e) for the registrant and we have, or
                  caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed
                  under our supervision,

                  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 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

                  c)  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
                      registrants fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
                      report) that has materially affected, or is reasonable
                      likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
                      control over financial reporting; and



         5.       The registrant's other certifying officers 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 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 controls over financial
                      reporting
