Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Acquired Sales Corp. (the “Company”) were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (“Management”) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2008 included in the Company’s Form 10-K report.

These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2009 or for any other period.

Note 2: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 2, 1986. In August 2001, the Company ceased all of its prior operations and remained dormant from then until May 27, 2004 when it began new development stage activities.

Development stage enterprise – The Company is a development stage enterprise and has not engaged in any operations that have generated any revenue. The Company’s efforts have been devoted primarily to raising capital, borrowing funds and attempting to enter into a reverse acquisition with an operating entity.

Use of estimates – These unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require that Management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The use of estimates and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenues (if any occur in the future) and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, if the exercise of outstanding warrants had occurred. There were 175,000 warrants and no warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively that were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Business condition – The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company suffered a net loss of $5,836 and had a net decrease in cash of $561. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s accounts payable exceeded its cash position by $5,916 (See Note 4). These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's ability to meet its ongoing financial requirements is dependent on Management being able to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, the realization of which is not assured. In addition, the Company is dependent on Management being willing to continue to serve without monetary remunerations.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

Note 3 – Letter Agreement and Warrants

Effective as of August 2007, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with a private merchant bank to provide certain services related to the identification, evaluation and financing of potential acquisitions by the Company. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, which terminated on December 31, 2007, the Company paid on August 2, 2007, a one-time $20,000 fee and prepaid accountable expenses of $10,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the remaining $12,000 one-time fee and $2,374 of the accountable expenses were charged to expense. In addition, the Company issued warrants exercisable for 175,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. The Company valued these warrants at $11,970 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and charged this amount to expense during the year ended September 30, 2007. Under certain conditions and events, the Company may become obligated to make additional cash payments of six percent of the gross proceeds of an equity investment, three percent of the gross proceeds of a debt investment received by the Company and two percent of the consideration received by the Company as a transactional fee. The Company may also be required to issue additional warrants exercisable at the same price as shares being issued in an equity investment.

Note 4 – Subsequent Event

On January 30, 2009 the Company entered into a promissory note for $10,000, due on demand bearing interest at 10% per annum with a related party.

Forward Looking Statement Notice

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Acquired Sales Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

Description of Business

We were organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 2, 1986. In August 2001, we ceased all of our prior operations and remained dormant from then until May 27, 2004 when we began our current development stage activities. We have had no material operations in the past five years.

We propose to seek, investigate and, if warranted, acquire an interest in one or more businesses. As of the date hereof, we have no business opportunities or ventures under contemplation for acquisition or merger. We propose to investigate potential opportunities, particularly focusing upon existing privately held businesses whose owners are willing to consider merging their businesses into our company in order to establish a public trading market for their common stock, and whose managements are willing to operate the acquired businesses as divisions or subsidiaries of our company. The businesses we acquire may or may not need an injection of cash to facilitate their future operations. The Company filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2007, and since its effectiveness, the Company has focused its efforts to identify a possible business combination

The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a “blank check” company. The SEC defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. The Company is also a “shell company,” defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as a company with no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.

The Company is currently operating as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had assets equal to $109 comprised exclusively of cash. This compares with assets of $670 comprised exclusively of cash as of September 30, 2008. The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2008 totaled $6,025. This compares to the Company’s current liabilities as of September 30, 2008 of $750. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2008			Cumulative Period From May 27, 2004 (Inception of Developmental Stage) to December 31, 2008

Net cash (used) in operating activities	$	(561	)	$	(139,701	)
Net cash (used) in investing activities	$	0		$	0
Net cash (used) provided by financing activities	$	0		$	139,810
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(561	)	$	109

The Company has only cash assets and has generated no revenues since inception of its new developmental stage. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.

Results of Operations

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception of its new developmental stage, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from May 27, 2004 (Inception of its new developmental stage) to December 31, 2008. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.

For the three months ending December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $(5,836), comprised of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. This compares with a net loss of $(20,460) for the three months ending December 31, 2007, comprised of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s SEC reports and in its efforts to acquire an operating business entity. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred costs related to a Letter Agreement as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. The Company did not have expenses relating to the Letter Agreement or any other agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2008.

For the cumulative period from May 27, 2004 (Inception of new developmental stage) to December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $(88,565), comprised exclusively of merchant banking fees incurred in an attempt to locate an acquisition candidate, financing costs and legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-SB in March of 2007 and the filing of the Company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

As of December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
