SBS 2003 to 2011 Migration

I am migrating SBS 2003 to SBS 2011
One of the prerequisites on the migration guide is to install SBS 2003 SP1 - I have inherited the server from another support company and the SBS 2003 box currently has Windows 2003 SP2, Sharepoint Services SP3 and Exchange 2003 SP2.  When I run the SBS 2003 best practice analyser it does not come back with any major issues and there is no mention of having to install SBS 2003 SP1?  Does this mean I do not need to run this prior to migration?

Thanks, as mention in my question the sbs bpa does not say that I need it.
I'm pretty sure the BPA tests for this, but if you want to make certain

1.Start the Registry Editor, and then locate the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinesServer\ServicePackNumber

If the value is 0x00000001, Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows SBS 2003 is installed. Close the Registry Editor.
