NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, during the period from February 3, 1999
(inception) to September 30, 1999 and the three months ended September 30, 1999
the Company incurred net losses of $5,953,614 (unaudited) and $2,543,700
(unaudited), respectively, and it had negative cash flows from operations of
$3,157,546 (unaudited) for the period from February 3, 1999 to September 30,
1999. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to 2000.
Continue as a going concern.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period from February 3, 1999 (Inception) to September 30, 1999 and For
the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 (unaudited)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued)
Basis of Presentation (Continuation)
Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of
which is indeterminable. Successful completion of the Company's development
program and its transition to the attainment of profitable operations is
dependent upon the Company achieving a level of sales adequate to support the
Company's cost structure. In addition, realization of a major portion of the
assets in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon the Company's
ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its plans to sell
products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue in existence.
In addition to the capital raised as of September 30, 1999 through private
equity offerings, (See Note 5) the Company is currently negotiating with certain
investors about raising additional capital through private placement offerings.
Unless the Company raises additional funds, either by debt or equity issuances,
management believes that its current cash on hand will be insufficient to cover
its working capital needs until the Company's sales volume reaches a sufficient
level to cover operating expenses.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises." The Company is devoting substantially all of its present
efforts to establish a new business, and its planned principal operations have
not yet commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered
as part of the Company's development stage activities.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 were $824,750. Advertising costs for the
period from February 3, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 1999 were $938,771
(unaudited).
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture and equipment 7 years
Computer hardware and software 3 years
Leasehold Improvements 10 months (lease term)
Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lease period or the useful life of the
asset, whichever is shorter.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. To date, no impairment has
occurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based
on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which
the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.

the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 (unaudited) OTE 2 - SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Net Loss per Share
For the period from February 3, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 1999 and for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares
had been issued and if the additional outstanding common shares were dilutive.
For the period from February 3, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 1999 and the
three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred net losses;
therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
Stock Split
On February 22, 1999, the Company effected a one-for-13 reverse stock split of
its common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated
to reflect this stock split.
On September 14, 1999, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its
common stock. All per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect
this stock split.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's financial
instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable employee, and
accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to their short maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to
concentrations of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash with high
quality financial institutions, and at times it may exceed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation $100,000 insurance limit. As of September 30, 1999,
uninsured portions held at the financial institutions aggregated to $340,345
(unaudited).
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 132,about "Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits." The Company does
not expect adoption of SFAS No. 132 to have a material impact, if any, on its
financial position or results of operations.

effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative

SFAS No. 133 to have a material effect, if any, on its financial position or
results of operations.

Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking
Enterprise," is effective for financial statements with the first fiscal quarter

Profit Organization or Charitable Trust that Raises or Holds Contributions for
Others." This statement is not applicable to the Company.
In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company does not expect adoption of
SFAS No. 137 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or
results of operations.
Comprehensive Income
For the period from February 3, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 1999 and for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement established standards for
reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement.
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in
comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available
for sale securities. Comprehensive income is not presented in the Company's

Private Placement
In February 1999, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to offer up
to $900,000 worth of shares of common stock for 1,333,332 shares and $2,300,000
worth of options to acquire units to accredited investors. Each unit was
comprised of one share of the Company's common stock (or 1,200,000 shares) and
0.5 warrant at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The warrants are deemed
granted below market value, for which an expense of $693,000 has been recorded.
The warrants may be exercised, commencing upon the date the Company closes a
public offering of its stock pursuant to a Registration Statement registering
the shares underlying the warrants and terminating 30 days thereafter. The
warrant holders have the right to demand registration of the shares if such
shares have not been registered by January 1, 2000. In addition, the warrants
are callable at the option of the Company on and after the date that (i) the
shares underlying the warrants are registered and (ii) the Company's common
stock is traded on any exchange, at a Market Price, as defined below, equal to
or exceeding $10.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The Market Price
shall be the closing bid price of the common stock. A total offering of
$2,900,000, net of offering costs, was completed as of September 30, 1999.
Stock options were granted in connection with the private placement, granting an
aggregate of 290,836 shares at exercise prices of $50,000 and $75,000. The
options were granted below market, for which an expense of $864,336 has been
recorded.
Stock Option Plan
The Company's Board of Directors adopted the Option Agreement and Certificate

Stock Option Plan (Continued)
The Series A options grant their holders the right to purchase common stock of
the Company at $4.50 per share. Each Series A option is exercisable on the
latter of the following: (i) the option holder has been employed full-time by
the Company for six months or (ii) April 2, 2000. Once the option is
exercisable, one-fifteenth of the share granted by the option becomes
exercisable each month. The option terminates two years after it first becomes
exercisable or within three years from the date of issuance. However, if the
option holder is terminated for violating the Company's employee manual, the
option holder loses all rights in all vested and non-vested option. If the
option holder's employment with the Company is terminated for any other reason,
the holder retains all vested options, but all non-vested options immediately
terminate. In addition, the non-vested options automatically terminate if there
is a change in control of the Company.
In addition, the options are not assignable.
The Series B options are substantially similar to the Series A options with the
following differences: (i) the option holder does not lose all rights in vested
and non-vested options if his or her employment is terminated for violating the
Company's employee manual; (ii) the option holder agrees not to work for any
company developing Internet technology for six months following any termination
of employment with the Company; and (iii) the key officer's options are
assignable for the express purpose of attracting key management personnel to
work for the Company.

since the Company incurred a loss during the period. The deferred income tax
benefit of the loss carryforward is the only significant deferred income tax
asset or liability of the Company. It has been offset by a valuation allowance
of the same amount since management does not believe the recoverability of this
deferred tax asset is more likely than not. Accordingly, no deferred income tax
benefit has been recognized in these financial statements.
Note 7 - YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 Issue.
The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize date-sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to
fail. The Company is dependent on computer processing in the conduct of its
business activities.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period from February 3, 1999 (Inception) to September 30, 1999 and For
the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 (unaudited)
NOTE 7 - YEAR 2000 ISSUE (Continued)
Based on the comprehensive review of the computer systems, management has
determined that the Company's computer system will not be materially affected
and does not believe the cost of implementation will be material to the
Company's financial position and results of operations.
Externally, the Year 2000 Issue may impact other entities with which the Company
transacts business. The Company cannot predict the effect of the Year 2000 Issue
on such entities, nor their effect on the Company. With regard to those
companies that the Company does business with on a daily basis, the Company
cannot guarantee that they will be vigilant about their Year 2000 Issue plan of
action.
In the event that the Company does experience Year 2000 Issue problems, it could
result in material losses from operations and a reduction of the Company's
working capital. Management is unable at this time to quantify the impact that
the Year 2000 Issue could have on the Company's results of operations and
financial condition.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
As of November 30, 1999, the Company is offering up to 2,000,000 shares of its
common stock at $6.00 per share only to investors who qualify as "accredited

share. Investors who provide at least $18,000 shall also receive a warrant with
a two-year term exercisable at $10.00.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of StockUp's financial
condition and plan of operation. Detailed information is contained in the
financial statements included with this document. This section contains forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of
the Company's plans, objective, expectations and intentions. The cautionary
statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all
related forward- ooking statements wherever they appear in this document.
The Company
Courtleigh Capital, Inc., a Kansas corporation, was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Colorado as ANCR, Inc. on July 30, 1985. On July 23, 1987, ANCR,
Inc. changed its name to CEA Lab, Inc. and reincorporated on October 16, 1995 in
the State of Kansas as CEA Lab, Inc. On September 12, 1997, it amended its
articles to change its name to Courtleigh Capital, Inc. Courtleigh Capital, Inc,
commenced trading during December, 1998 under the symbol CTLH on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. On February 2, 1999, Courtleigh Capital, Inc.
changed its name to StockUp.com, Inc. StockUp.com, Inc. a Kansas corporation
formerly Courtleigh Capital, Inc. reincorporated in the State of Nevada using
the name StockUp.com, Inc. (the term the "Company" shall refer to the surviving
Nevada corporation). The Company changed its trading symbol to SKUP effective as
of February 22, 1999. On September 14, 1999, the Company effected a two-for-one
forward stock split. All share amounts set forth in this Form 10QSB reflect this
stock split.
The Company uses Microsoft's operating platform to develop second-generation
Internet technology(, which is located on its servers and accessible from the
Internet. The Company owns, and is developing, a system of modular software
products (i.e.), desktop applications that may be deployed independently or in a
single, integrated system) designed to increase traffic and user retention on
Internet websites deploying the technology.
The company's goal is to offer users software products that provide a
customizable, interactive, and dynamic Internet experience compared to existing
static portal models residing on the World Wide Web. Although the Company is in
the process of developing other second-generation Internet technology( products
including a financial website and interactive agent technology, management has
decided to incorporate various aspects of the financial website into its desktop
portal products and emphasize the development for these technologies. The
Company is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider, and has based its
technologies on Microsoft's operating system. The company employs more than
twenty programmers and animators.
Plan of Operation
From its inception to date, the Company has incurred costs associated with the
development and launch of its products, probable markets, and business. The
Company has established relationships with information providers which increase
the quality and marketability of the Company's products. While there is no
assurance, management believes that the Company's products will commence
generating revenues during the first quarter 2000.
The Company has financed its operations to date through the sale of its common
stock. Since inception through August 1, 1999, the company issued 12,702,358
shares. The Company raised $2.9 million from four accredited investors as
follows: (i) February 1999 ("the February Offering") - Issuance of 1,333,332
shares in exchange for $900,000; and (ii) May and June 1999 ("the May/June
Offering") - Issuance of options under Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated
under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, to acquire units comprised of
1.2 million shares and 600,000 warrants exercisable at $2.50 per share, and
options to acquire 290,836 shares at an aggregate exercise price of $125,000 in
exchange for $2.0 million cash. The February, 1999 Offering was conducted under
Rule 504. It provided the necessary seed capital to commence implementation of
the Company's business plan. The May/June Offering was primarily an option to
participate in a unit offering of restricted stock and warrants. 1,200,000 of
these shares are currently restricted and subject to a demand registration right
as of January 1, 2000. The 1,200,000 shares and the shares underlying the
600,000 warrants are subject to reasonable underwriter trading restrictions in
the event of a public offering. These investors holding these securities are
also entitled to anti-dilution rights in the event the Company issues stock at
less than $2.50 per share.
The Company is currently conducting a private offering of its securities. From
August 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999, the Company has issued 159,722 shares
of common stock for a total consideration of $1,057,298 net of offering costs.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company has 12,862,080 shares issued and
outstanding.
From inception through September, 1999, the Company's selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4,496,318. In addition the Company incurred
financing expenses of $1,557,335. These expenses are partially offset by income
from investments in the amount of $17,557, miscellaneous income of $660, and
debt forgiveness in the amount of $81,822, resulting in a net loss of
$5,953,614.
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's selling, general
and administrative expenses were $2,552,652. These expenses are partially offset
by investment income of $8,292 and miscellaneous income of $660 resulting in a
net loss of $2,543,700.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had current assets of $558,631 and
$668,642 in furniture, equipment, and other assets, resulting in total assets of
$1,227,273. The Company's current liabilities were $742,961.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has generated minimal revenues and does not anticipate generating
revenue until the first quarter of year 2000. The Company does not anticipate
its financial operations reaching the breakeven point until January, 2001 at the
earliest. As a result, the Company's sole source of capital during 1999 shall be
investment capital provided by third parties. Further, the Company anticipates
it will require additional capital contributions to fund its operations during
the year 2000. On June 21, 1999, the Company commenced a private offering of its
securities to raise up to $12 million.
Year 2000
The Company has begun to address possible remedial efforts in connection with
computer software that could be affected by the Year 2000 ("Y2K") problem.The
Y2K problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Any programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculation.
The Y2K problem can affect any modern technology used by a business in the
course of its day. Any machine that uses embedded computer technology is
susceptible to this problem, including for example, telephone systems, postage
meters and scales, and of course, computers. The impact on a company is
determined to a large extent by the company's dependence on these technologies
to perform their day to day operations.
Internally, the Company has begun reviewing all such equipment and has
determined that many of its systems are Y2K compliant. The Company anticipated
that all system and software will be fully reviewed and brought into compliance
by November 1999. If certain systems are not brought up to Y2K compliance by the
end of November 1999, then the non-compliant technology will be disabled so as
not to have an impact on the systems that are compliant. Any such events would
not have a serious impact on the Company's day to day operations, nor would any
valuable information be lost. The Company backs up all computer systems daily to
protect against data loss.
The costs of bringing the Company's technology up to Y2K compliance is expected
to be less than $5,000. This is because the majority of the "patches" or
programs designed to make software Y2K compliant can be obtained over the
Internet from manufacturers for little or no cost and the Company does not
expect to rely heavily on outside consultants to upgrade its systems as most of
the work can be performed in-house.
