SALES STRATEGIES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
--------------------
SALES STRATEGIES, INC. (the "Company") is currently a development
Stage company under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7. The Company was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 17, 1995. It is
management's' objective to seek a merger with an existing
operating company.
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Sales
Strategies have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and notes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), which are,
in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
However, the Company has no established source of revenue. This
factor raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional
capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amount, or amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue in existence. It is management's objective to seek
additional capital through a merger with an existing operating
company.

MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
Use of Estimates
----------------
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business
Combinations." SFAS No. 141 supersedes Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") No. 16 and requires that any business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for as a purchase;
therefore, eliminating the pooling-of-interest method defined in
APB 16. The statement was effective for any business combination
initiated after June 30, 2001 and shall apply to all business
combinations accounted for by the purchase method for which the
date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. The adoption did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations since the Company has not participated in
such activities covered under this pronouncement.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangibles." SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition,
measurement and amortization of intangible assets acquired
individually or with a group of other assets (but not those
acquired in a business combination) and addresses the
amortization provisions for excess cost over fair value of net
assets acquired or intangibles acquired in a business
combination. The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, and is effective July 1, 2001
for any intangibles acquired in a business combination initiated
after June 30, 2001. The Company has implemented this
pronouncement and has concluded that the adoption has no material
impact to the financial statements.

(Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued
-------------------------------------------
In October 2001, the FASB recently issued SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires
companies to record the fair value of a liability for asset
retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred.
The statement applies to a company's legal obligations associated
with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results
from the acquisition, construction, and development or through
the normal operation of a long-lived asset. When a liability is
initially recorded, the company would capitalize the cost,
thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The
capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of
the respective asset while the liability is accreted to its
present value. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation
is settled at its recorded amount or the company incurs a gain or
loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 30, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a
material impact to the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". Statement 144
addresses the accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. The statement provides a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. New
criteria must be met to classify the asset as an asset
held-for-sale. This statement also focuses on reporting the
effects of a disposal of a segment of a business. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The Company has implemented this pronouncement and has concluded
that the adoption has no material impact to the financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company incurred legal and accounting fees of $4,250 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 which were paid by an officer of the
Company. The officer does not expect this amount to be paid back
by the Company and therefore the amount is considered as
additional paid-in capital.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The Company has not commenced business activities and has no assets or
operations. The Company is dependent upon its officers to meet any de-minimis
costs which may occur.
Alan Schram, an officer and director of the Company, has agreed to provide
the necessary funds, without interest, for the Company to comply with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that he is an officer and
director of the Company when the obligation is incurred. All advances are
interest-free.
In addition, since the Company has had no operating history nor any
revenues or earnings from operations, with no significant assets or financial
resources, the Company will in all likelihood sustain operating expenses without
corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business
combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which
will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business
combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is assurance that the
Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business
combination.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive and Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officer") is
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
for the Company.
The Certifying Officer has designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that material information is made known to him,
particularly during the period in which this report was prepared.
The Certifying Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the date of this report
and believes that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective based on the required evaluation. There have been no significant
changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including
any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
