I have reviewed the accompanying blaance sheet of Thrading Solutions.com, Inc.
as of September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the related statement of income and
Shareholders' Equity and the statement of cash flows for hte six months then
ended September 30, 2000 and from the date of inception to September 30, 1999,
in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the representation of the
management of Trading Solutions.com, Inc.
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, I do not express such as opinion.
Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be
made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ended September 30, 2000 was $45,733 compared to $98,766 for the corresponding

corresponding period in 1999. These expenses decreased due to the Company
