New Era Trading Group, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period Ended March 31, 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 to 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 polices 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
and 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 of market.  Cost is determined
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

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

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

3.  Deferred Offering Cost

Deferred Offering Cost consists of costs incurred by the Company in the
process of a public offering.  None existed for the period ended March 31,
2001.

4.  Advances Payable

Notes were paid off and advances were forgiven in 1998.

5.  Income Taxes

The Company has a net operating loss carryover available for future periods
of approximately $804,000.  This carryover will expire in 2007 and 2010.

6.  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 for 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.

7.  Lease Commitments

Rent expense amounted to $0 for the period ended March 31, 2001.

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 the OTC
Bulletin Board will issue a trading symbol and authorize the Company's
common stock to be quoted in that medium.
