I, David A.
 
Hedges, certify that:
 
1. I have reviewed
 
this Quarterly
 
Report on Form
 
10-Q of Auburn
 
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

this report;
 
3. Based on
 
my knowledge,
 
the financial

other financial
 
information included
 
in this report, fairly
 
present in
all material respects the
 
financial

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.
