We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of New Era Marketing Inc. (A Development Stage Company). as of June 30, 2006, and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the three months then ended, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of New Era Marketing Inc. (A Development Stage Company).
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue and no operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

June 30, 2006
Note 1 – Nature of Organization
| a. | Organization and Business Activities |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 19,
2005 to provide consortium marketing campaigns for small businesses. The Company has not realized significant revenues to date and therefore is classified as a development stage company.
The cost of the property and equipment will be depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5 to 7 years. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method when assets are placed in service.
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31 year-end.
| d. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

Note 1 – Nature of Organization (Continued)
| k. | Income Taxes (Continued) |
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of June 30, 2006:
| | 2006 | |
Deferred tax assets | | | |
NOL Carryover | | 8,545 | |
Deferred tax liabilities | | -0 | - |
Valuation allowance | | (8,545 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | -0 | - |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 15% to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2006.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $56,966 that may be offset against future taxable income through
2026. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2006 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating carryforwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company’s 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. The Company has had no income and generated significant losses from operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Stock Offering
The Company concluded an initial public offering on or about March 7, 2006.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Plan of Operation.
This section must be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements included in this report.
A. | Management’s Discussion |
New Era Marketing, Inc. (“New Era” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 19, 2005. New Era is a development stage company that has a primary business plan objective of providing cost effective consortium marketing campaigns for small businesses in need of closely managing assets specifically pinpointed for corporate name recognition and product identification, and to assist in implementing those advertising endeavors.
New Era is a development stage company that has not commenced our planned principal strategic operations and have no significant assets. Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:
| 1. | Formation of the Company; |
| 2. | Development of our business plan; |
| 3. | Obtaining capital through sales of our common stock; and |
| 4. | Market our business services to potential clients. |
We are attempting to build NEM to become fully operational. In order to generate revenues, we must address the following areas:
| 1. | Establish our website: Establishing our presence on the Internet is critical to reaching a broad consumer base. We are in the process of developing a website. To date, we have not secured a web site address nor do we have an operational web site. We expect this web site to be our primary marketing tool whereby we will disseminate information on our business to business marketing services to potential clients. |
| 2. | Develop and implement a marketing plan: In order to promote our company and establish our brand, we believe we will be required to develop and implement a marketing plan. We plan to use our Internet site to be the focus of our marketing and sales efforts. We intend to advertise our site, and thus our business to business marketing services, through the use of banner advertisements and search engine placement. To date, we have no marketing or sales initiatives or arrangements. Without any marketing campaign, we may be unable to generate interest in, or generate awareness of, our company. |
We are a small, start-up company that has not generated any significant revenues and lacks a stable customer base. As it stands at present, each potential client attempts to place its limited advertising dollars as strategically as feasible to get the best result possible. Consequently, each company is limited in the scope and breadth of its promotional campaigns due to limit availability of resources. We plan on utilizing a marketing co-op program whereby several companies unite to pool resources for the sole purpose of increasing public exposure and thereby expanding each individual client’s marketing budget. The synergy that is created is beneficial to all companies involved both from the greater public exposure standpoint and from the public perception that each small company is larger than originally apparent.
In the initial approximately twelve month operating period from Jul 19, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2005, the Company generated $2,500 in revenues while incurring $35,966 in general
12
and administrative expenses. This resulted in a cumulative net loss of $33,466 for the period then ended, which is equivalent to $(0.01) per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company generated no revenues while incurring $23,500 in general and administrative expenses. This resulted in a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $23,500. The net loss for both periods is attributable primarily to the costs of start-up operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $30,834 in working capital. The Company’s current assets as of June 30, 2003 consisted of $30,834 in cash.
New Era believes that it has sufficient resources to continue operations for the next twelve months. However, the Company’s independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
New Era is a development stage company that has a primary business plan objective of providing cost effective consortium marketing campaigns for small businesses in need of closely managing assets specifically pinpointed for corporate name recognition and product identification, and to assist in implementing those advertising endeavors.
Principal Services and Principal Markets
Our principal business objective is to provide cost effective consortium marketing campaigns for small businesses in need of closely managing assets specifically earmarked for corporate name recognition and product identification, and to assist in implementing those advertising endeavors. It is the opinion of our officers and director that our target market and likely purchaser of our services will primarily be small and new companies needing to closely manage their advertising dollars.
Distribution Methods of the Services
We are currently working with an experienced Internet service provider to develop a comprehensive Internet presence. Additionally, we plan on identifying local business organizations, service groups and small business development companies who may be instrumental in assisting us in making our services known to the target audience of potential clients. Once a potential client has been identified, a personal call will be made to that company to further explain our services and to arrange a face-to-face meeting.
13
Industry Background and Competition
We are a small, start-up company that has not generated any significant revenues and lacks a stable customer base. As it stands at present, each potential client attempts to place its limited advertising dollars as strategically as feasible to get the best “bang-for-the buck” possible. Consequently, each company is limited in the scope and breadth of its promotional campaigns due to limit availability of resources. We will utilize a marketing co-op program whereby several companies unite to pool resources for the sole purpose of increasing public exposure for all. The synergy that is created is beneficial to all companies involved both from the greater public exposure standpoint and from the public perception that each small company is larger than originally apparent.
Currently the cost of advertising is tremendous and a substantial burden on any small company desiring to endeavor upon any sort of public awareness recognition, even a conservative economical venture. And, at this point, each company seeks its own path drawing from its limited individual resources. A small company with a superior product has little chance to penetrate a larger sales base when a large competitor has better name recognition through extensive advertising campaigns. New Era Marketing, Inc. will put several small companies on a competitive basis with larger companies by implementing an aggressive, strategic marketing campaign combining the dedicated resources of each company.
There is a dire need for small companies to spread their advertising dollar as far and wide as possible to gain corporate name recognition and product identification. New Era Marketing, Inc. believes that there is a glut of companies that will crave an opportunity to join a cooperative effort to maximize public exposure of products that will complement one another.
New Era Marketing, Inc. is not aware of any marketing company that focuses exclusively on the co-op, synergistic approach.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Based on their most recent review, which was completed within ninety days of the filing of this report, New Era’s Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by New Era in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to New Era’s management, including its Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no significant changes in New Era’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
