CERTIFICATION
PURSUANT TO
SECTION
302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
I, Andrew
J. Dennard, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Mexican
Restaurants, Inc., certify that:
1. I
have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Mexican Restaurants,
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 consolidated financial statements, and other financial information included
in this report, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
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 consolidated 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.
