NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003

1.    ORGANIZATION

Trading Solutions.com Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 14, 1999 with authorized common stock of 20,000,000 shares at $.01 par value.

The Company was organized for the purpose of providing on-line investing educational services. During 2002 the company abandoned that activity and has since remained inactive.

In August 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Springland Beverages, Inc., which was in the business of developing the bottled water and the related beverage market. The only activities of Springland Beverages, Inc. was been the acquisition of an option to purchase land and the registration of trademarks in the United States and Canada, both of which have subsequently expired.
 
During March 2003 the Company settled all its prior liabilities, in connection with the transfer of its interest in Springland Beverages, Inc., to a former officer of the Company.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Methods

The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

On December 31, 2003, the Company had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $1,510. The tax benefit of approximately $450 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations. The net operating loss will expire in 2023.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Revenue Recognition

Revenue will be recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of a service provided.

Advertising and Market Development

The company will expense advertising and market development costs as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.


Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values.

Financial and Concentrations Risk

The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk.

Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

An officer-director of the Company, has acquired 83% of the common capital stock issued.

A former officer has made contributions to capital of $106,159 by payment of company debt and made no interest demand loans of $1,510 to the Company.

4. GOING CONCERN

The Company intends to seek business opportunities that will provide a profit, however, the Company, does not have the working capital necessary to be successful in this effort and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term related party loans, and equity funding, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.



 
     

 
ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Plan of Operation
 
We are seeking to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues. We have no particular acquisitions in mind and have not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any substantive contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between our company and another company as of the date of this annual report. The board of directors intends to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a transaction. Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders.
 
    We have, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes that we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the acquisition candidate will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing agreements, documents and related reports and such as information statements, current reports, quarterly reports and annual reports.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We remain in the development stage and have experienced no significant change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholder's equity since re-entering of the development stage. Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, reflects a total asset value of $0.00. We have no cash or line of credit, other than that which present management may agree to extend to or invest in this company, nor do we expect to have one before a merger is effected. We will carry out our plan of business as discussed above. We cannot predict to what extent our liquidity and capital resources will be diminished prior to the consummation of a business combination or whether our capital will be further depleted by the operating losses (if any) of the business entity which we may eventually acquire.

Results of Operations
 
During the period from October 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003, we have engaged in no significant operations other than maintaining our reporting status with the SEC and seeking a business combination. No revenues were received by us during this period.
 
For the current fiscal year, we anticipate incurring a loss as a result of legal and accounting expenses, and expenses associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates. We anticipate that until a business combination is completed with an acquisition candidate, we will not generate revenues, and may continue to operate at a loss after completing a business combination, depending upon the performance of the acquired business.
 
Need for Additional Financing
 
Based upon current management's willingness to extend credit to us and/or invest in us until a business combination is completed, we believe that our existing capital will be sufficient to meet the cash needs required for the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for the costs of accomplishing our goal of completing a business combination, for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, in the event we are able to complete a business combination during this period, we anticipate that our existing capital will be sufficient to allow us to accomplish the goal of completing a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that the available funds will ultimately prove to be adequate to allow us to complete a business combination, and once a business combination is completed, our needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially. In addition, as current management is under no obligation to continue to extend credit to us and/or invest in us, there is no assurance that such credit or investment will continue or that it will continue to be sufficient for future periods.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company's management, with the participation of the chief executive officer/chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure, controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(3) and 15-d-15(3) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer/chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure, controls and procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to the Company as required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act on a timely basis.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer/chief financial officer, that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
