This offering and an investment in our common stock involve a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, which are the most significant risks we face based on our business and the industry in which we operate, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We have never been profitable and expect to incur future losses and experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. This may lead to a lack of liquidity, causing our business to fail and your investment to decline in value.
We have incurred a net loss of $32,313 for the year ended December 31, 2005, and we expect to incur losses throughout the six month period ending June 30, 2006. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, we will continue to generate losses. We also expect to continue to experience negative cash flow through the six month period ending June 30, 2006 as we continue to operate Salty’s Warehouse. Currently, we do not have any arrangements with credit facilities and there is no guarantee that we will be able to access credit should we need to do so. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financials statements, the Compa ny has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans are to initiate the business plan and raise additional capital. The financials statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our officers and directors work on our behalf only on a part-time basis. Because they do not devote their full time and attention to our business, this may negatively impact our business operations.
Our officers and directors devote only approximately five to ten hours a week working on our behalf. Therefore they are not devoting their full time and attention to managing and expanding our operations. This may cause us to miss business opportunities that we would otherwise be able to take advantage of.
We are solely dependent on the hosting of our website by Yahoo!® Store. Any discontinuation or interruption of service by Yahoo!® Store would significantly harm our business.
Our online store is hosted by Yahoo!® Store. Should Yahoo Store discontinue operations, or discontinue hosting our online store for any reason, we would be unable to make any sales or generate any revenues until we were able to reestablish our store with a different Internet commerce hosting service and there is no guarantee that we would be able to find such alternative hosting service. Additionally, any interruptions in services by Yahoo!® Store will prevent any sales by our online store for the duration of the interruption, costing us any revenues we would have made during that time. Our agreement with Yahoo!® Store is month to month and may be terminated by either party anytime.
Our business is subject to intense competition, and we may not be able to compete causing us to lose customers.
We face intense competition in selling consumer electronics and other name brand consumer products over the Internet, both from other Internet retailers and from “bricks and mortar” retailers. Many of these competitors are larger, better known, and have significantly more resources than we do. Our failure to compete with our competitors on the basis of price or service could significantly harm our business. See “Business—Competition.”
We do not have a lease on our office, and if we lose this office, it will significantly disrupt our operations.
Our offices are furnished to us on a rent-free basis by Hudson Capital Group of which Steven W. Hudson, our Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors, is a principal. We only have a verbal lease, revocable at any time, from Hudson Capital Group to use this office space. That lease could be revoked at any time for any reason and if that lease is revoked, we will have to find an alternative office. This would significantly disrupt our operations as well as require additional operating capital that we may not have available. We would not be able to operate our business without adequate office.

Unless a public market develops for our common stock, you may not be able to sell your shares.
There is no public market for our common stock. There can be no assurance, moreover, that an active trading market will ever develop or, if developed, that it will be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the price of our securities, and you may be unable to sell your shares.
If our stock does become publicly traded, we will likely be subject to the penny stock rule, and therefore it could be more difficult for you to sell your shares..
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. If our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the offering may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
We may not qualify for Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board Quotation, and therefore you may be unable to sell your shares.
Upon completion of this offering, we will attempt to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (“OTCBB” or “Bulletin Board”). The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the Securities Exchange Commission or applicable regulatory authority. In order to be eligible to be listed on the OTCBB and to maintain such eligibility, the Company would be required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company would have to remain current in meeting its periodic securities reporting obligations. If for any reason, however, any of our securities are not eligible for initial or continued quotation on the Bulletin Board or an active public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty selling their securities should they desire to do so. If we are unable to satisfy the requirements for quotation on the Bulletin Board, any trading in our common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the “pink sheets.” As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the securities offered hereby.
4
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our shares of common stock could cause our stock price to decline.
We are registering approximately 40% of the Company’s stock in this offering. If our stockholders sell a substantial number of their shares of our common stock pursuant to this offering, or the public market perceives that these sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could decline.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms by other comparable terminology.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the stockholders’ shares offered by this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the stockholders’ shares will be for the account of the selling stockholders.
We will receive $0.05 or $0.055 per option exercised pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. Should all 300,000 options covered by this registration statement be issued and exercised, we may receive up to $16,500 in proceeds. As we cannot predict when or if we will receive such proceeds, we expect to use these proceeds, if received, for working capital purposes, which shall be allocated to projects or needs of the Company at such time.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Selected Financial Data” and our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under “Risk Factors” on page 2 and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. sells consumer electronics products and other name brand consumer products over the Internet.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our financial statements. The preparation of these statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financials statements. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, weather,politics, global economics, mechanical problems, general business conditions and other factors. The only material estimates we made were a valuation allowance related to utilization of income tax operating loss carryforwards and an estimate of volatility in calculation of option values.
In determining whether a deferred tax asset should be recorded for our net operating loss carryforward for income taxes we decided that a full valuation allowance was needed as we are unsure when and if we will ever be able to use the income tax loss carryforwards. Our estimate of volatility of 32.5% for the calculation of the fair market value of options that were granted was based on our estimate of what volatility would be for our stock if it were currently trading. We believe we have no critical accounting policies and our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Results of Operations
You should read the selected financial data set forth below along with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and our financial statements and the related notes. We have derived the financial data from our audited and unaudited financial statements. We believe the financial data shown in the table below include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such information. Operating results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 (UNAUDITED).
REVENUE. Our net revenue amounted to $891 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $697 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. All revenues were from the sale of products on the Salty’s Warehouse web site. Fluctuations in our revenues is primarily the result of the the nature of the business model we operate. The Company can neither predict, assess nor prevent fluctuation. We attempt to offer products at competitive prices. Due to the highly competitive nature of Internet sales, we respond to a significant decrease in demand by either lowering our price, if possible, or changing products offered. When the products we are offering are no longer in demand, we respond by changing our product line, item by item. Because of the unpredictable nature of fluctuations, we do not attribute fluctuations to any particular item or event. Our business model is to respond to fluctuation with immediate change. We do not account for or analyze the fluctuations as we do not believe it to be a prudent use of resources, given our business model. Our net revenue is net of the wholesale price and shipping charges we pay to our suppliers for products sold on the web site. Additionally, Yahoo!® Store charges us a half percent transaction based fee for every product sold over our website.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Our total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $19,718 compared to $476 for the same period in the prior year. Expenses consisted primarily of general operating expenses and professional fees. The increase in operating expenses is mostly attributable to our accounting and legal expenses associated with our SEC filing.
NET LOSS. Primarily as a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $18,811 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to a net loss of $221 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the net loss is attributed to accounting and legal expenses associated with our SEC filing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

As of December 31, 2005, we had a deficit working capital of $946 as compared with a working capital of $27,367 at December 31, 2004. We raised $58,921, after costs, from the sale of 6,400,000 shares of our common stock to 52 investors in a private offering from June 23, 2004 through March 22, 2005. The decrease in working capital was due to funds used to sustain operations. At December 31, 2005, $15,197 of cash and cash equivalents was held in a special attorney’s trust account. The funds held in the attorney trust account are used to pay accounting and legal fees.
Net cash used for operating activities was $37,104 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $5,932 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $54,921 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net cash was provided by the issuance of common stock, net of issuance costs.
Salty’s Warehouse generally does not hold inventory in the products we sell. Net revenue as an agent from the sale of products (consisting primarily of automobile electronic equipment, home electronics, computer accessories and supplies) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer (product shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted and, thereby, have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments. At the time a customer orders a product on our web site, the customer pays for the product by credit card. If the credit card is Visa or Mastercard we usually receive the funds within twenty-four hours. However if the credit card is American Express or Discover, we receive the funds within 48 hours. The supplier invoices us when the product is actually shipped on terms requiring us to pay within 30 days. So in most transactions, we will have already received payment from the customer before we must pay the supplier for the product that this customer has ordered. Therefore, we do not have any significant requirements for capital to fund replenishing inventory.
Our only internal sources of liquidity that we have are our bank accounts and the future revenues we receive from the sale of products on our web site. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company’s management relies solely on sales results to manage and assess the Company’s business. There are no other performance indicators, including non-financial performance indicators, upon which management relies.
Due to numerous economic and competitive risks, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon our operations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully generate significant revenues or achieve a level of profits which will permit us to stay in business.
Fluctuations in Operating Results; Seasonality
Annual and quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations may be caused by the timing and quantity of orders from our customers. Our future results also may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to offer our services and applications at competitive prices. Our operations are not affected by economic conditions in any particular geographic area, as our business does not target any particular geographic areas. In addition, we are not worldwide on the Internet. The Company can neither predict, assess nor prevent fluctuation. We attempt to offer products at competitive prices. Due to the highly competitive nature of Internet sales, we respond to a significant decrease in demand by either lowering our price, if possible, or changing products offered. When the products we are offering are no longer in demand, we respond by changing our product line, item by item. Because of the unpredictable nature of fluctuations, we do not attribute fluctuations to any particular item or event. Our business model is to respond to fluctuation with immediate change. We do not account for or analyze the fluctuations as we do not believe it to be a prudent use of resources, given our business model. All of the foregoing may result in substantial unanticipated quarterly earnings shortfalls or losses.
Inflation
We believe that our revenue and results of operations have not been significantly impacted by inflation since we began operations.

Salty’s Warehouse
Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. was incorporated in Florida on July 16, 1998 and is engaged in selling name brand consumer products over the Internet. Salty’s Warehouse focuses on selling consumer electronics and audio-video equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and tuners, although Salty’s Warehouse also sells assorted other goods such as watches, sunglasses and sports games. Some of the brand names currently offered by Salty’s Warehouse include: Compaq®, Revo®, MB Quart®, Poly Planar®, Sony®, Panasonic®, Harman Kardon®, Panamax®, Seiko® and Movado®.
On May 10, 2002, two of the Salty’s Warehouse founders, Steve W. Hudson and Earl T. Shannon owned 100% of the outstanding stock of Salty’s Warehouse and sold 80% of this outstanding stock to Nucotec, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition. Salty’s Warehouse was a subsidiary of Nucotec, Inc. from May 10, 2002 through March 19, 2004 when Nucotec was sold to a third party. On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson, and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of Nucotec would be redeemed by Nucotec in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.
Marketing and Distribution
Salty’s Warehouse sells its products over the Internet. Salty’s Warehouse is hosted by Yahoo!® Store.
With the exception of its inclusion on the Yahoo!® Store Shopping directory, Salty’s does not spend money on advertising, but instead relies on customer referrals and Internet search engine search results.
Our management believes that satisfied customers may refer new customers to Salty’s through direct referral or by posting on message boards. Additionally, our management believes that Salty’s five star rating with Yahoo!® Store may be attractive to new customers.
At no cost to Salty’s Warehouse, the Salty’s Warehouse web site is listed by a number of the Internet search engines and directories, including Yahoo!®, Yahoo!® Store, Yahoo!® Shopping, Google, Hotbot, Altavista, Dogpile, Overture, and Fastsearch.
Salty’s Warehouse does not normally own or store the items it lists for sale on its web site in inventory. Rather, all items are held in stock by the suppliers we purchase them from. When we receive an order for a product, we fax it to the supplier that is providing this product on our behalf. This supplier ships the product directly to the ordering customer and invoices us at the time of shipment with 30 day terms. We obtain products through relationships with suppliers or we seek suppliers based on customer inquiries regarding specific products. There is no fixed mark-up rate between Salty’s Warehouse and its suppliers because Salty’s Warehouse endeavors to undersell other vendors. The range of markup varies from two to thirty percent, depending on the product and the time said product is sold.
10
The hosting of our website by Yahoo!® Store is subject to a ongoing month-to-month merchant service agreement between Salty’s Warehouse and Yahoo!® Store. This agreement requires Salty’s Warehouse to pay Yahoo!® Store a hosting fee in the amount of $49.95 per month, a monthly insertion fee in the amount of $0.10 for every product we make available for sale, a monthly transaction fee equal to 0.5% of total revenue generated and a monthly revenue share fee equal to 3.5% of revenue generated from any transactions stemming from traffic coming from the Yahoo!® Shopping directory on the www.yahoo.com web site.
Security Measures
Salty’s Warehouse has not implemented any technical measures on its web site to safeguard the data of its customers other than those provided by Yahoo!® Store as part of its hosting service for the Salty’s Warehouse website.
Privacy Policy
Salty’s Warehouse has adopted a privacy policy, posted on its web site, that it will not share personal information collected from its customers with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete an order.
Principal Suppliers
Our principal suppliers are Sawgrass Distributors, Inc. and Esha, Inc. We do not have any written agreements with them. These suppliers ship products purchased on our web site directly to our purchasers.
Intellectual Property
We own the registered trademark, “Salty’s Warehouse,” registration number 2668148, registered on December 31, 2002 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. At this time, we do not have any other trademark, copyright or patent protection.
Competition
Although Salty’s Warehouse faces intense competition from numerous other Internet retailers, we believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of quality of service and providing products at low prices.
We believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of quality service by having its suppliers timely ship ordered products, by quickly and courteously responding to any customer inquiries or complaints, and by selling products with which customers will be satisfied. Salty’s Warehouse enjoys a five star customer service rating with Yahoo!® Store. This means that Salty’s Warehouse participates in the Yahoo!® Store Customer Rating Program, and that customers who have ordered from Salty’s Warehouse have given it high ratings.
11
We believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of price by keeping prices down. Because Salty’s Warehouse does not normally maintain an inventory and has its suppliers ship products directly to customers, Salty’s Warehouse has a low overhead relative to many other stores allowing it keep its prices low.
However, many of Salty’s Warehouse’s competitors are substantially larger, better financed and have superior resources compared to Salty’s Warehouse. Therefore, there is no guarantee that Salty’s Warehouse will be able to successfully compete with them.
Salty’s Warehouse has numerous competitors. Some of Salty’s Warehouse’s competitors are large companies selling a large variety of products, including products that compete with Salty’s Warehouse both on the Internet and through “bricks and mortar” stores. Competitors in this category include Costco, Target, Kmart, Sears and Walmart.
Salty’s Warehouse also faces competition from and companies specializing in selling consumer electronic products, both on the Internet and through bricks and mortar stores. Competitors in this category include Radio Shack, Circuit City and Best Buy.
Another category of competitors is companies that sell competing products only online, such as Overstock.com, Amazon.com, and Audio Direct.
Facilities and Equipment
Our office encompasses 800 square feet located in a downtown Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in a building owned by Hudson Capital Group. Our management believes these premises are in good condition. Hudson Capital Group allows us to use this space free of charge. Although the Hudson Capital Group can revoke our right to use this space at any time, we have been informed by its principal, Steven W. Hudson, that Hudson Capital Group intends to allow us to continue using the space free of charge for the foreseeable future. However, should we be evicted from the space, we would need to relocate to new facilities and may lack the funds to do so.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus, we had a total of three employees. If necessary, we hire seasonal workers on an as-needed basis.
Litigation
To the best knowledge of management, there are no litigation matters pending or threatened against us.

None of our officers or directors are currently receiving any cash compensation for their services. However, in order to compensate our officers, we enacted an Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan on July 1, 2004. Our stock option plan has a total of 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance as stock options. All issued options are 100% vested. Other than our stock option plan, we do not currently have any arrangements or contracts pursuant to which our directors are compensated for any services, including any additional amounts payable for committee participation or special assignments. No such arrangements were in effect between the Company and its directors for the Company’s completed last fiscal year, either.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The laws of the State of Florida and our Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities. In general, directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Salty’s Warehouse, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful. Salty’s Warehouse has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The interim financial statements of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited financial statements for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in December 31, 2005 Annual Report and particularly to Note 1, which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability in our endeavors to seek sources of capital, and in attaining future profitable operations. Our management is currently initiating their business plan and in the process of raising additional capital. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 3, 2006, the Company entered into agreements with three shareholders to sell 2,250,000 shares of common stock. Total proceeds from the sale were $22,500.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Stockholders and Directors
Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financials statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the Note 2. The financials statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SALTY’S WAREHOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. (The Company) was incorporated in Florida on July 16, 1998 and is engaged in selling name brand consumer products over the Internet. The Company focuses on selling consumer electronics and audio-video equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and tuners, although the Company also sells assorted other goods such as watches, sunglasses and sports games. Some of the brand names currently offered by Salty’s Warehouse include: Compaq®, Revo®, MB Quart®, Kicker®, Poly Planar®, Sony®, Panasonic®, Harman Kardon®, Panamax®, Seiko® and Movado®.
On May 10, 2002, two of the Salty’s Warehouse founders, SteveW. Hudson and Earl T. Shannon owned 100% of the outstanding stock of Salty’s Warehouse and sold 80% of this outstanding stock to Nucotec, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition. Salty’s Warehouse was a subsidiary of Nucotec, Inc. from May 10, 2002 through March 19, 2004 when Nucotec was sold to a third party. On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of Nucotec would be redeemed by Nucotec in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three equivalent months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Current estimates include but are not limited to the value of options issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-12
SALTY’S WAREHOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenues pursuant to SAB 101 — “Revenue Recognition” and EITF 99-19 — “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” Net revenue as an agent, from the sale of products (consisting primarily of automobile electronic equipment, home electronics, computer accessories and supplies) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer (product shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted and, thereby, have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company’s policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.
Advertising
The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its product. Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred; such amounts aggregated $-0- in 2005 and $554 in 2004.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. At December 31, 2005, the Company had stock options outstanding that could potentially be exercised into 300,000 additional shares. Such potentially issuable shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Should the Company report net income in a future period, diluted net income per share will be separately disclosed giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if the then outstanding options were exercised and converted into common shares.
F-13
SALTY’S WAREHOUSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivables. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.
Significant Suppliers
The Company relies on three suppliers for the products purchased and sold on the Company’s website. The loss of any one of the suppliers could significantly effect the Company’s operations.
The Company also relies solely on the hosting of their website by Yahoo! ® Store. Any discontinuation or interruption of service by Yahoo! ® Store would significantly effect the Company’s operations.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had no inventory on hand.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted by FAS 123, as amended, the Company accounts for stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB 25. Under this method no expense is recognized for options issued with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the stock on the date of grant. Expense for options or warrants issued to non-employees is recorded in the financial statements at estimated fair value. For options issued to employees, the Company is subject to proforma disclosures based on the estimated fair value of the options issued.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock volatility. Because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Shared Based Payment”. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issued No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring , or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The Interpretation’s adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
Common Stock Issued For Services
The Company values common stock issued for services at the fair market value of the shares issued or the value of the services received, whichever is more readily determinable.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability in our endeavors to seek sources of capital, and in attaining future profitable operations. Our management is currently initiating their business plan and in the process of raising additional capital. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT)
On April 20, 2004, the Company initiated a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) of 6,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $0.01 per share. The Private Placement was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933 and Rule 504 of Regulation D. Net proceeds received from the private placement are as follows:

On October 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to authorize a five for one (5:1) forward stock split. All common share references have been adjusted for the 5 to 1 stock split.
NOTE 4 COMMON STOCK

Scott W. Bodenweber (an officer and director) — April 20, 2004 — 900,000 shares at $.01 a share for financial and accounting services rendered.

Private Placement — March 2005 — 400,000 shares at $.01 per share.
NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company had no income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. There is approximately $67,850 of net operating loss carryforward which expires in 2023 - 2025.

NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Our office encompasses 800 square feet in a building owned by Hudson Capital Group. Our management believes these premises are in good condition. Hudson Capital Group allows us to use this space, including the computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, free of charge. Although the Hudson Capital Group can revoke our right to use this space at any time, we have been informed by its principal, Steven Hudson, that Hudson Capital Group intends to allow us to continue using the space free of charge for the foreseeable future. However, should we be evicted from the space, we would need to relocate to new facilities and may lack the funds to do so.

NOTE 7 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
The Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, which permits the Board of Directors to grant, for a year period, options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to directors, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The administrators have the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to whom stock options will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each option. Options granted under the Plan will not have a term that exceeds ten years from date of grant.
The stock subject to the Plan and issuable upon exercise of options granted under the Plan are shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, which may be either unissued or treasury shares.
The exercise price is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant of the options, as specified by the Board of Directors.
Options granted to date vested 100% at the time of grant.
The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options granted to employees at fair market value.
A summary of the option activity for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, pursuant to the terms of the Plan is as follows:

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as well as our By-Laws provide for the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation to the fullest extent provided by the Corporate Law of the State of Florida, as well as is described in the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws. These sections generally provide that the Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative except for an action by or in right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person has been determined to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3) To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4) For determining liability of the undersigned under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned or used or referred to by the undersigned;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above in Item 24, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of the expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
