New Era Trading Group, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Periods Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001

1.  Background Information

New Era Trading Group, Inc. (the "Company") (f/k/a Gardner Marketing
Services, Inc.) was incorporated in Florida on December 15, 1988.  The
Company was essentially dormant until 1992, at which time the Company began
import/export operations of torches used for decorative outdoor lighting.  In
1994, the Company ceased distribution of the torches and began import/export
operations of solid and gelatin cane sugar and alcohol fuels for cooking and
warming food and lighting charcoal.  The distribution of the latter was
ceased in 1996 and the Company has remained essentially dormant since.  The
Company's headquarters is located in Largo, Florida.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed are:

     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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is calculated by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of
approximately five to seven years.  Additions to and major improvements of
equipment are capitalized.  Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged
to expense as incurred.  As equipment is sold or retired, the applicable cost
and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain
or loss is recorded.

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  For the
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 advertising expense amounted to $0.

	Net loss per common share is based upon the weighted average common
shares outstanding during each period.

3.  Equipment

     There was no equipment as of March 31, 2002.

4.  Inventory

     There was no inventory as of March 31, 2002.

5.  Deferred Offering Cost

     Deferred Offering Cost consists of costs incurred by the Company in the
process of a public offering.  There were no costs in 2002.

6.  Income Taxes

The Company has a net operating loss carryover available for future periods
of approximately $808,000.  This carryover will expire between 2007 and 2011.

7.  Stockholders' Equity

     On January 21, 1989, the Company authorized and issued 100 shares of
common stock for a $1 par value.  On October 18, 1993, the Company increased
the authorized shares of common stock to 2,500,000 shares with a par value of
$.01.  Also on October 18, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
stock split (9,000 to 1) of its outstanding common stock.

    The Company has issued 2,715,000 options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at $.20 per share.  These options will expire in the
years 1999 through 2001.

     During February 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a 5-for-1 stock
split of common stock to stockholders of record as of February 10, 1996.
8.  Lease Commitments

     There are no outstanding lease commitments.

Item 2.  Management's Plan of Operations

The Company is dormant at the date of this quarterly report and is not
engaged in any business operations.  The Company is seeking a viable business
with which to merge.  There is no assurance as to how long it may take the
Company to locate a suitable merger partner.  The Company intends to arrange
for a securities broker-dealer to obtain a trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin
Board, as soon as the Company has filed all reports due under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  There is no assurance as to if or when the OTC
Bulletin Board will issue a trading symbol and authorize the Company's common
stock to be quoted in that medium.
