                          (A Development Stage Company)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2001

NOTE 1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Operations Sterling Electronics Commerce Co. (a
development stage company) was incorporated in Nevada on April 5, 1999, with the
intent to engage in the business world of internet connections. The Company's
original business plan consisted of the once unique idea of an internet access
billing plan that would guarantee a consistent billing rate for a six to twelve
month period of time. However, the over-exhaustion of the web connection market
has since influenced the Company's decision to seek out other business options
as well as draft a new business plan.

Financial Capacity Since inception (April 5, 1999), the Company's minimal
development and operational costs have been satisfied through contributions of
capital by its shareholders and officers. The Company's expenses are comprised
mainly of accounting and filing fees incurred as a reporting company. The
Company has not begun any significant operations; their current operations
consist only of the modification of their business plan and other development
stage activities. To date, no revenue has been realized. The Company has
employed various consulting professionals to help organize and review various
business opportunities and options. Though the Company continues to look to its
shareholders and officers for current funding, they are aware that becoming
fully operational will require the capital of a third party. Consequently, the
Company's main priority has become their success in locating a compatible merger
candidate, thus insuring future operations and continued existence.

Start-Up Costs All costs relating to the development of the Company have been
expensed as incurred as required by the Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, issued
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in April of 1998,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities".

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conforming with
generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those
estimates.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share Net earnings (loss) per share is presented under
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
(SFAS 128). In compliance, the Company's basic earnings (loss) per share are
computed by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.

Income Taxes The Company has not provided for deferred tax assets or liabilities
due to their tax loss carryforward, available to offset future profits for the
next 20 years, which, as of December 31, 2001, was approximately $12,000. No tax
benefit for the loss carryforward has been established due to the Company's lack
of operating history and demonstration of ability to realize a profit from
future operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements The Company has no operations, therefore, only the
expensing of organizational costs, as reflected above, may be affected by new
accounting pronouncements.

NOTE 2    COMMON STOCK

In April 1999, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at par
value ($.001), as compensation to its founders for consulting services, 50,000
shares at $.02 for legal compensation, and 1,500,000 shares of common stock in
accordance with a consulting contract, at par value ($.001). The Company also
issued 50,000 shares of common stock for cash, valued at $.002 ($100), and 9,500
shares of common stock for cash, valued at $.01 ($95). As of December 31, 2001,
the Company had 2,609,500 shares issued and outstanding, as reflected in the
financial statements. These transactions are exempt pursuant to Section 4 (2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


NOTE 3    PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

The previously issued financial statements for the two prior periods, inception
(April 5, 1999) through December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 2000,
incorrectly reported a total issuance of 59,500 shares of common stock for cash
in the amount of $110, and 2,550,000 shares of common stock issued for
compensation at a value of $6,947. The management's discussion in the financial
statements for the year ended December 31,2000 indicated a total of 1,109,500
shares of the Company's common stock were issued for cash. The following
adjustments have been made to the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2001:

The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to it's founders for
consulting services at par value, $.001 ($1,000), 1,500,000 shares were issued
per terms of a consulting contract, also valued at par ($1,500), 50,000 shares
were issued to the Company's attorney for legal fee compensation, valued at $.02
($1,000), 50,000 shares were issued for cash, valued at $.002 ($100) and 9,500
shares were also issued for cash, valued at $.01 ($95). The total monetary value
of the common stock (2,550,000 shares) issued for compensation of services is
$3,500, and the total value of the common stock (59,500 shares) issued for cash
is $195. All other expenses incurred by the Company, including other
compensation expenses, are reflected in the current financials as contributions
to capital.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The Company is, and has been since its inception in 1999, a development stage
company with no significant business operations. Our original purpose, to
develop a business packaging and re-selling internet access services, has been
suspended indefinitely due to the lack of operating funds. We are exploring
various avenues for re-commencing operations or acquiring a business. Howevever,
it is very likely that we will need to raise additional capital before we can
develop any business prosects or produce any revenue. We hope and expect that
our status as a reporting company will facilitate capital formation for us. We
cannot be certain, however, that such benefit will be realized, that we will
succeed in raising capital, or that we will ever achieve profitable business
operations.

Our cash resources have been substantially depleted, and our officers are
bearing various expenses on behalf of the Company, none of which have so far
been deemed to be reimbursable by us. We expect to raise some operating capital
through a private placement of our securities within the next year, although the
amount, terms and date of commencement of the offering have not yet been
determined. When we sell new stock, the proportionate ownership interests of
existing shareholders will be reduced (commonly called "dilution"). We have not
obtained any commitments from underwriters or investors.


We have no current plans to purchase or sell any significant assets, make any
expenditures for product research and development, or change the number of
employees or the nature of their relationships to the Company.


                        ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried
out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. This
evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's Chairman, President and General Counsel and Secretary. Based upon that
evaluation, they concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to
satisfy the Company's disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect those controls since the most recent
evaluation of such controls.
