We have compiled the accompanying balance sheets of Bennett
- Reed, Inc. as of September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, and
the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the nine months then ended, in accordance with
the Statement of Standards for Accounting and Review Services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of
financial statements information that is the representation of
management. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying
financial statements and supplementary information, and,
accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of
assurance on them.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been in the
development stage since its inception on February 25, 1998.
Realization of the major portion of its assets is dependent upon
the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements,
and the success of future operations. The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1999, were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion
on the statements in their report dated January 4, 2000. We have
not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Operations
The Company was organized under the laws of the state
of Nevada in 1998 and is authorized to do business in
the United States. The Company has no revenue from
operations during the period covered by this financial
statement.
Method of Accounting
These financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Consequently, revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized
when the obligation is actually incurred.
Income Taxes and Cash Flows
The Company accounts for income taxes and the statement
of cash flows in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109 and No. 95.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less
when purchased.
NOTE 2: CASH
The Company has no bank accounts at this time.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net
income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. There are no items
which are deemed to be common stock equivalents during
the audit period.
NOTE 4: COMMON STOCK
As of September 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1999, the Company had 3,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.001, issued and outstanding.
NOTE 5 - LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company currently has no commitments for leases or
contingencies.
NOTE 6 - USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
NOTE REGARDING PROJECTIONS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This statement includes projections of future results and
"forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in
this Registration Statement, other than statements of historical
fact, are forward-looking statements. Although Management
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations are disclosed in this Statement, including, without
limitation, those expectations reflected in forward-looking
statements contained in this Statement.
Plan of Operation
The Company's Plan of Operation has not changed since the filing
of its Form 10-SB filed with the SEC on March 22, 2000. The
description of the current plan of operation is incorporated by
reference to Section 2 of its Form 10-SB.
Competition
The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the
firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities.
There are many established venture capital and financial concerns
which have significantly greater financial and personnel
resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of
the Company's combined extremely limited financial resources and
limited management availability, the Company will continue to be
at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the
Company's competitors.
Employees
The Company has no full time or part-time employees. None of the
officers and directors anticipates devoting more than ten (10%)
percent of his or her time to Company activities. The Company's
President and Secretary have agreed to allocate a portion of said
time to the activities of the Company, without compensation.
These officers anticipate that the business plan of the Company 8
can be implemented by their devoting minimal time per month to
the business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts
of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment
by such officers. See "Item 5 - Directors, Executive Officers,
Promoters and Control Persons - Resumes" on the Form 10-SB filed
with the SEC on March 22, 2000.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal
proceedings and, to the best of its knowledge, no such action has
been threatened by or against the Company.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
No issues of securities and no changes in the existing securities
took place during the period covered by this report. At the end
of the quarter there were 3,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No such matters were submitted during the most recent quarter.
