INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Cherokee Investments, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Cherokee Investments,
Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2000, and the related
statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended, and
cash flows for the six month period then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Respectfully submitted

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for Cherokee Investments, Inc. (a
development stage company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.
Interim Reporting
The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2000 and for the three
and six month periods then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three and
six months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results which can be expected for full years.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on
May 28, 1996. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from
May 28, 1996 to October 20, 1999 and was considered dormant. Since October 20,
1999, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned
principal operations.
Nature of Business
The Company has no products or services as of March 31, 2000. The Company
was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates. The Company
intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the
opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required 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.
Loss per Share
The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic loss
per share computations are as follows:

</TABLE>
The effect of outstanding stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive for
March 31, 2000 and 1999 and are thus not considered.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2000, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward
for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $2,000 that may be offset
against future taxable income through 2011. Current tax laws limit the amount of
loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial
change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future
taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater change the
carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of
the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a
development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its
development stage.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS
As of March 31, 2000 all activities of the Company have been conducted by
corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. Currently, there
are no outstanding debts owed by the Company for the use of these facilities and
there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.
