SUMMARY
OUR COMPANY
I Shop No Markup.com, Inc. is a Nevada corporation formed on August 20,
1999 for the purpose of developing a shopping mall on the Internet. We expect to
offer products on the Internet by providing goods directly form the supplier, at
no markup to the purchaser. This would enable us to offer lower prices than our
competitors that markup their prices on the internet, which we think will cause
the public to shift to our web site to purchase the same goods at a lower price.
We also expect to eventually carry more selection than our competitors.
Currently we have 800,000 products on our web site and we expect to have
millions of products in the future. We have signed contracts for 1.8 million
products in total (including the 800,000 products currently on line) with
various suppliers for inclusion on our web site. Our goal is to reach over
100,000,000 products, making us the largest mall on the internet, while offering
the lowest prices.
We expect to generate revenues by charging a standard transaction fee,
through advertising fees, collecting licensing fees, shipping markups,
collecting database revenues, generating demographic e-mail marketing revenues
(fees charged to advertisers or marketing companies for sending e mails to our
database of consumers), earning volume discounts from suppliers, earned interest
on revenues held in our accounts on behalf of our suppliers (float) until we
disburse their payments, and fees earned from providing consumer financing for
goods.
We believe by offering the lowest prices on most items, due to our no
markup structure, and offering a broad selection, a shift will take place in the
on line sales markets from the higher priced models to the no markup model,
where we charge a standard $ 1.50 transaction fee instead of a percentage
markup, driving the prices down.
We have observed that the trend with using the internet to eliminate
middleman has saved consumers money. This includes dis-intermediation (removing
of the intermediaries or middlemen) in the financial markets that has been very
successful, with the emergence of e- commerce companies that enable consumers to
purchase stocks and securities directly instead of buying through brokers, using
a small standard transaction fee.
We have also observed that due to the savings associated with using the
internet versus a storefront the consumers can benefit from the savings
generated by not having retail overhead. This has made e commerce companies able
to offer a lower price than retail establishments on line.
We believe the next trend in the online consumer markets will be the
dis-intermediation of goods, by using the internet to enable consumers to
purchase directly from suppliers at no markup, causing a shift in the consumer
on line markets from the higher priced markup models to the no markup model.
We plan on carrying millions of products and will not carry an
inventory. The initial phase of our business plan will focus on marketing of
automotive accessories, books, computers, software, music, and videos and other
categories of products. We plan on adding more and more categories and products
on a continuous basis eventually offering tremendous selection at the lowest
possible prices.
We maintain our principal office a 585 Stewart Avenue, 6th Floor,
Garden City, NY 11530, Tel. (516) NOMARKUP.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
The securities offered hereby are highly speculative and involve
substantial risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following
risk factors before making an investment decision.
WE HAVE LIMITED OPERATION HISTORY AND EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE LOSSES, SO THAT
THERE IS AN UNCERTAINTY OF PROFITABILITY.
We were formed on August 20, 1999, and have only recently engaged in
new enterprise. We have no history of operations and revenues, and must be
considered promotional and in the early development stage. We are subject to
many of the risks common to enterprises with limited or no operation history,
including but not limited to potential under-capitalization, limitations with
respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and limited customers and
revenue sources. There is absolutely no assurance that we will be able to
operate an e-commerce business. As a result of our lack of an operation history
in any business, we do not have historical financial data on which to base
operating expenses. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to
compensate for any unexpected shortfall of revenues. Accordingly, any
significant shortfall of demand for our products and services in relation to our
expectations would have an immediate adverse impact on our business, operation
results, and financial condition.
WE FACE STRONG COMPETITION FROM A FEW EXPERIENCED AND WELL FINANCED PARTIES.
The market for shopping on internet and related services is extremely
competitive and highly fragmented. We expect competition in these markets to
increase as use of the Internet grows and established telecommunications and
computer-related vendors expend their traditional products and services and new
start-up companies emerge. Our competitors include the following categories of
companies:
- Stores in established on-line malls such as America Online and Prodigy;
- Computer hardware and software companies such as Microsoft and IBM;
- Buy.com
- Amazon.com, Inc.
Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial,
technical, operating, marketing and other resources, experience and brand
recognition than we do. The significant financial resources of many of our
competitors could lead to severe price cutting in an effort to secure
market share, which could have a negative effect on our revenues and
results of operations. To be successful, we will need to distinguish
ourselves by our product and service knowledge, our responsiveness to our
customers, and our ability to provide state-of-the-art and innovative
service and products to our customers. We cannot assure you of our survival
in such a competitive and rapidly evolving market. However, most of our
competitors will not carry many of the items that we will in our e-commerce
business and since we have no markups our prices are hard to beat unless
other companies go below our transaction fee and possibly take a loss.
OUR INTERNET SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO SECURITY RISKS SUCH AS VIRUSES AND
SABOTAGE.
Although we intend to implement industry-standard security measures,
our systems will be vulnerable to computer viruses, sabotage, unauthorized
access and other intentional or accidental actions of Internet users,
subscribers, employees or others which could result in temporary or prolonged
delays in Internet-related service. Unauthorized access could also jeopardize
confidential information stored in the computer systems of our customers, which
Page 9
<PAGE>
may deter potential subscribers and result in liability claims against us.
Fixing problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses or
security breaches may require interruptions, delays, or stops in service to our
subscribers. Until more comprehensive and cost-effective security technologies
are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential
customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet service industry in general,
and our customer base and revenues in particular.
OUR SYSTEMS COULD FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY.
Our business depends on the ability of the hosting services that we use
for our companies to deliver high quality uninterrupted access to the Internet.
However, there is a risk that these services will be interrupted as a result of:
- Network equipment damage caused by natural disasters such as
earthquakes and fires;
- Hardware failures at our operational center'
- Increased stress on network hardware and traffic management systems;
- Local power losses or other telecommunications systems failures; and
- Capacity constraints either at a particular telecommunications facility
or system wide.
Any system failure that causes interruption in our service,
particularly during our early stages of development, could have a negative
effect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SEASONAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
We expect to experience seasonality in its business, due to a
combination of seasonal fluctuations in Internet usage and traditional retail
seasonality patterns. Internet usage is expected to decline during the summer
months. Sales in the traditional retail sector are significantly higher in the
fourth calendar quarter of each year due to the Christmas shopping season.
Therefore, we may experience more pronounced cash flow problems in the first
three quarters of the calendar year compared to the fourth quarter. In addition,
our business is dependent upon discretionary income available for expenditure by
consumers. Discretionary income decreases during prolonged general economic
downturns, resulting in fewer expenditures. A general economic recession would
likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON SUPPLIERS.
We have received letters of intent from suppliers to carry
approximately 1,800,000 products on our web site. Part of the proceeds of this
Offering will be used to hire personnel to develop relationships with other
suppliers in order to carry more products on our web sit. A supplier has no
obligation to continue to list its products with us for any specified period of
time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain listings, or to
develop new listing relationships, both of which are essential to our success.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK.
We expect to retain any future earnings for use in our business to
develop, operate and expand our business. As a result, we do not anticipate
paying any dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future.
Page 10
<PAGE>
OUR QUARTERLY REVENUES AND OPERATION RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY.
The operating results for our Internet companies have fluctuated in the
past, and our operating results may change materially in the future.
Fluctuations could affect the market price of our common stock. Fluctuations may
depend upon a variety of factors, including the incurrence of capital costs and
costs associated with the introduction of new products and services. Other
factors that may contribute to changes in operating results include:
- the pricing and mix of services that we offer;
- market acceptance of new products and services;
- changes in operating costs;
- changes in pricing policies and product offerings by our competitors;
- introduction of alternative technologies;
- growth in demand for Internet access services;
- effects of potential future acquisitions; and
- one-time costs associated with acquisitions.
Due to the foregoing factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons
of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that these
comparisons should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.
THERE HAS BEEN NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.
Prior to this offering there has been no public market for our common
stock. As such, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will
develop or be sustained upon completion of this offering, or that the market
price of our common stock will not decline below the offering price.
WE WILL HAVE FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE MET IF WE ARE TO CONTINUE.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including the development of new systems, the progress of our research and
development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts. We
believe that current and future available capital resources will be adequate to
fund our operations for at least twelve months following this offering. There
can be no assurance, however, that we will not require additional financing
prior to such time. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will
be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If additional funds are
raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to the existing
stockholders will result.
CONTROL OF THE CORPORATION WILL REMAIN IN THE HANDS OF PRESENT MANAGEMENT.
Subject to the limitations of Nevada corporate law, current management
will have control of us through their aggregate stock ownership and will have
the right to perpetuate their status as officers and directors and therefore
conduct our business and affairs.
Page 11
<PAGE>
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGY WHICH WE USE.
A significant barrier to online commerce and communication is the
secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely on
encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and
authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of confidential
information. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities,
new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other events or developments
will not result in compromise or breach of algorithms used by us to protect
customer transaction data. If any such compromise of our security were to occur,
it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions
and operating results.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS, JOINT VENTURES AND OTHER STRATEGIC
RELATIONSHIPS.
While we have no current agreements or negotiations underway with
respect to any potential acquisitions, we may make acquisitions of other
companies or technologies in the future. Acquisitions entail numerous risk,
including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and products,
diversion of management's attention to other business concerns, amortization of
acquired intangible assets, and potential loss of key employees of acquired
companies. We have no experience in assimilating acquired organizations. No
assurance can be given as to our ability to integrate successfully any
operations, personnel, services or products that might be acquired in the
future, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and operating results.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE LIMITED LIABILITY.
We have adopted provisions to our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws
which limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide for
indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by Nevada corporate law. Our Articles of Incorporation generally
provide that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us
or our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties
as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation
of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases
or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director or officer derives an
improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders'
ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty and
may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
We will attempt to protect our business under a combination of
copyright, trade secrets, and trademark laws as well as by contractual
restrictions on employees and third parties. Despite these precautions, it may
be possible for unauthorized parties to copy our services or otherwise obtain
and use information that we regard as proprietary. We have no patents, and
existing trade secret and copyright laws provide only limited protection. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no
Page 12
<PAGE>
assurance that the steps taken by us will be adequate to deter misappropriation
of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use
and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.
Significant and protective litigation may be necessary to protect our
intellectual property rights, to determine the scope of the proprietary rights
of others, or to defend against claims for infringement. There can be no
assurance that third party claims, with or without merit, alleging infringement
will not be asserted against us. Such assertions can be time consuming and
expensive to defend. They could require us to cease the use, marketing, and sale
of infringing products and services, to incur significant litigation costs and
expenses, to develop or acquire non-infringing technology, and to obtain
licenses to the alleged infringing technology. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to develop or acquire alternative technologies or to obtain such
licenses on commercially acceptable terms.
OTHER PEOPLE MAY REGISTER DOMAIN NAMES SIMILAR TO OURS.
We and C1line depend on identification with our domain names. Many
other domain names are available that are similar to ours, including identical
names with different country suffixes. We do not expect to be able to protect
all of these possible names from acquisition by others. Should a web site be
established with one of these similar domain names, visitors attempting to reach
our web sites may reach someone else's web site instead, which would reduce our
or C1line's customer traffic and diminish the value of our domains. Domain names
generally are regulated by Internet regulatory bodies. The regulation of domain
names in the United States and in foreign countries is evolving. Regulatory
bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain
name registrars, or modify the requirements for holding domain names. The
relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting
trademarks and similar intellectual property rights is unclear. Additionally,
there may be online companies in other countries using domain names that
potentially infringe on our trademarks. We may be unable to prevent them from
using these domain names, and this use may decrease the value of our trademarks
and brand names, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and operating results. In which event, the value of an
investment in us would be adversely affected.
WE HAVE NO SINKING FUND TO PROTECT SHAREHOLDERS.
There will be no sinking fund or other reserve established for the
purpose of paying distributions to the holders of the shares upon dissolution or
liquidation. Furthermore, outstanding preferred stock has a preference over the
shares to our assets upon liquidation. As a consequence, it is possible that
holders of the shares may not be able to recover any amount of their investment
upon our liquidation or dissolution.
THERE MAY BE UNINSURED LOSSES.
There is no assurance that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and
losses as a result of the conduct of our business. We plan to maintain
comprehensive liability and property insurance at customary levels. We will also
evaluate the availability and cost of business interruption insurance. However,
should uninsured losses occur, the shareholders could lose their invested
capital.
WE MAY INCUR LIABILITIES TO LENDERS OR SUPPLIERS THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
SATISFY.
We may have liabilities to affiliated or unaffiliated lenders or
suppliers. These liabilities would represent fixed costs which would be required
to be paid regardless of the level of business or profitability experienced by
us. There is no assurance that we will be able to pay all of our liabilities.
Furthermore, we are always subject to the risk of litigation from licensees,
suppliers, employees, and others because of the nature of our business.
Litigation can cause us to incur substantial expenses and, if cases are lost,
judgments and awards can add to our costs.

WE HAVE NOT PAID ANY DIVIDENDS AND IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WE EXPECT THAT
THERE WILL BE A LACK OF DIVIDENDS.
To date, we have not paid any dividends. We are not currently
restricted from paying cash dividends We are under no obligation to declare any
dividends, and if we do, outstanding Preferred Stock has a dividend preference
over the Shares. We do not anticipate the payment of any dividends on the Shares
or the Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future, although if cash flow in the
future is available, we would consider the declaration and payment of dividends.
WE HAVE BROAD DISCRETION AS TO THE USE OF PROCEEDS.
Our management shall have wide discretion as to the exact allocation,
priority and timing of the allocation of funds raised from this offering. The
allocation of the Proceeds of the offering may vary significantly depending upon
numerous factors, including the success that we have marketing our services.
Accordingly, we will have broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of
the net proceeds of this offering.
THERE IS VOLATILITY IN THE SHARES OF LOW PRICED STOCKS AND IN THE STOCK MARKET.
If a public market develops for the shares, many factors will influence
the market prices. The shares will be subject to significant fluctuation in
response to variations in operating results, investor perceptions, supply and
demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the
industry, developments with regard to our activities, future financial condition
and management.
THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO LOW-PRICED STOCKS WHICH MAY AFFECT US.
If our stock does not get listed or being listed, if it gets de-listed,
if the price of our common stock falls below $5.00 per share, trading in such
securities might also be subject to the requirements of certain rules
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), which require additional disclosure by broker/dealers in connection with
any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-NASDAQ
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock
transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on
broker/dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors (generally institutions). For these types of
transactions, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination
for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the
transaction prior to sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker/dealers by
such requirements may discourage broker/dealers from effecting transactions in
our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of
such securities and the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their
securities in the secondary market. Disclosure is also required to be made about
commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative
and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are
required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held
in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The foregoing penny stock restrictions will not apply to our securities
if such securities have certain price and buying information provided on a
current and continuing basis or meet certain minimum net tangible assets or
average revenue criteria. If we are successful in raising at least $4 million,
now, or at some time in the future, our securities would qualify for the
exemptions from the penny stock restrictions. Otherwise we will remain subject
to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act governing these penny stock
Page 14
<PAGE>
restrictions. If our securities were subject to the existing rules on penny
stocks, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting
offering expenses of approximately $400,000, will be approximately $49,600,000
if we receive the maximum amount. We plan to use these proceeds to increase our
marketing efforts, upgrade our technology infrastructure add personnel, expand
our operations, and provide additional working capital. If we raise less than
the maximum amount, then we intend to carry out a portion of our plan, as long
as we receive at least the minimum amount. In the table below, we have detailed
the amount that we will spend on each item if we receive the maximum or minimum
amount of funding.

Proceeds ======== ===========
We have not determined the timing and exact amounts of operating
expenditures at this time. We anticipate that proceeds from the offering,
combined with current working capital and operating revenue, should be
sufficient to allow us to continue operating for the foreseeable future. If we
receive significantly less than the maximum amount, we believe that we will have
sufficient funding to continue operations for the foreseeable future, although
we will have to reduce the rate at which we expand our business.
We plan to use a significant portion of the funding to allow us to
conduct Internet and traditional marketing of our products and services, subject
to all applicable regulations. Internet marketing may include banner ads,
strategic search placements including Internet Name, news groups, chat rooms,
bulletin boards, press releases, and targeted email. Traditional marketing may
include radio, cable or print, targeted mailing or phone calls, and cold
calling.
We expect offering expenses to include legal and accounting expenses,
registration and "Blue Sky" fees, printing costs, document delivery costs, order
fulfillment, transfer agent fees, and similar costs.
We plan to use a portion of the funding as salaries for additional
key personnel, working capital and for general business purposes including
accounts payable when cash flow is insufficient for these purposes. The specific
Page 15
<PAGE>
amounts to be allocated to working capital and other purposes will be in our
discretion. We reserve the right to alter our use of proceeds depending on
business conditions which are unforeseen at this time.
Because we anticipate selling the shares through the efforts of our
officers and directors, the numbers above do not include any deductions for
selling commissions. If broker/dealers are used in the sale of shares, up to 10%
of any gross proceeds raised in this offering will probably be payable to one or
more NASD registered broker/dealers. In such event, net proceeds to us will be
decreased and the use of proceeds may be correspondingly reallocated in our sole
discretion. There are no current agreements, arrangements, or other
understandings in connection with any of the foregoing.
Until we reach the minimum offering, subscription funds will be held in
an interest-bearing escrow account. Once we reach the minimum offering, the
funds will be released from escrow and used according to the plan above. To the
extent that the net proceeds are not used immediately, we intend to invest them
in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. We do not intend
to use any proceeds to make loans to officers or directors.

As of June 30, 2000, the net tangible book value of our common stock
was $908,153 or $0.008 per share based on the 111,666,243 shares outstanding.
"Net tangible book value" per share represents the amount of total tangible
assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares. After giving
effect to the sale by us of 5,000,000 shares at an offering price of $10.00 per
share our pro-forma net tangible book value as of that date would be $50,908,153
or $0.44 per share, based on the 116,666,243 shares outstanding at that time.
This represents an immediate dilution (i.e. the difference between the offering
price per share of common stock and the net tangible book value per share of
common stock after the offering) of $9.56 per share to the new investors who
purchase shares in the offering ("New Investors"), as illustrated in the
following table (amounts are expressed on a per share basis):

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends with respect to our common
stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings for use in the
operation of our business. Our Board if Directors will determine dividend policy
in the future based upon, among other things, our results of operations,
financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant
at the time. We intend to retain appropriate levels of our earnings, if any, to
support our business activities.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
I Shop No Markup.com Inc. was incorporated on August 20, 1999 under the
laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of developing a shopping mall in the
Internet. We expect to offer products on the Internet by providing goods
directly from the supplier, at no markup to the purchaser. We expect to generate
revenues by charging a transaction fee, through advertising, earning a shipping
markup, collecting database revenues and generating demographic date sales. We
will not carry inventory. Our initial phase of our business plan will focus on
marketing of automotive accessories, books, computers, software, music, and
videos due to the proven popularity of purchasing these items on the Internet.
REVENUE MODEL
In the (B2C) Market, iShop generates revenue by:
(1) charging standard transaction fees,
(2) collecting Save Engine(TM) licensee fees,
(3) earnings a shipping markup;
(4) charging advertising fees,
(5) collecting database revenues,
(6) generating demographic data sales (1)
(7) earning volume discounts from suppliers/manufactures,
(8) earned interest on revenue held in our accounts (float) and
(9) fee earned from consumer finance.
1. DEMOGRAPHIC DATA SALES: Highly refined and detailed mailing lists
that iShop compiles on its consumers and visitors that get resold to
marketing companies, et. al.
Consumers also select the frequency of e-mails either once week or once
a month.
The records of the United States Patent and Trademark office show that
an application for registration of ISHOPNOMARKUP was filed in the office; that
the application was examined and the determined to be in compliance with the
requirements of the law and with the regulations prescribed by the Commissioner
of Patents and Trademarks; and that the application entitled to registration of
the mark under the Trademark Act of 1946, as amended.
We have signed letters of intent with suppliers of products to list
approximately 1,892,664 products on our web site. Approximately 800,000 products
are available for sale on our web site. We believe we will eventually offer
millions of products from thousands of suppliers direct to the public at no
markup, enabling us to provide the lowest prices anywhere on or off the
Internet.
We maintain corporate headquarters in Garden City, New York, and also
have branch offices in Hon Kong, Singapore and Sydney, Australia, Bristol,
England, and Tokyo, Japan. International offices were arranged through an
agreement with Mr. Ian Noakes, International Vice President for DTL. He is
entitled to 25,000 stock options for each office he opens for IshopNoMarkup.com,
overseas.
Page 18
<PAGE>
TIME LINE FOR WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT
Our current web site offers approximately 800,000 products for sale to
consumers from various manufactures. We anticipate conducting mass e-mails and
other marketing programs to potential consumers to generate sales.
We believe that if the maximum offering is sold, then the proceeds of
this offering will be sufficient to fund our initial marketing plan, capital
expenditure and working capital needs for the next twelve months. We may
commence additional private or public offerings of our securities to raise
additional funds necessary for our expansion.
We expect to generate revenues from standard transaction fees
that are built into the customer price, from advertising fees and other revenue
sources listed above. We intend to offer millions of products direct from the
suppliers to a world wide base of consumers at no mark up. This will enable us
to provide the lowest retail prices.
TRADITIONAL SALES MODEL VERSUS THE COMPANY'S SALES MODEL
The traditional retail model for selling products involves a
manufacturer who sells to a distributor, who in turn marks up the product and
sells to the wholesaler, who marks up the product and sells to the retailer, who
marks up the product and sells to the consumer. Through this traditional sales
model the product can be marked up by 400% before reaching the consumer.
Retail outfits charge much higher markups than Internet
retailers, although there are Internet retailers that also mark up heavily.
The following is a comparison to the biggest discount providers on the
Internet (and not to the big markup retailers because their prices will be too
high to be considered competition):

and key employees which set forth the terms and conditions of their employment.
All employment agreements provide that the executive officers may resign at any
time, and that we may terminate the officer or employee at any time.
STOCK OPTIONS
1999 STOCK OPTIONS PLAN
-----------------------
The Company has adopted a 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which
provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock. The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain the best
available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide
additional incentive to employees and consultants and to promote the success of
the Company's business. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a
compensation committee consisting of two or more non-employee directors, if
appointed ("Committee"). At its discretion, the Committee may determine the
persons to whom Options may be granted and the terms thereof. In addition, the
Page 23
<PAGE>
Committee may interpret the Plan and may adopt, amend and rescind rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan as of June 30, 2000, 4,283,783
options to purchase shares of Common Stock had been granted under the Plan.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Our Board of Directors presently consists of three members. The board
of Directors may be expanded in the future.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Under Nevada Corporation Law and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care". This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit,(iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serous injury to the
corporation or is shareholder, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase, or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in our Articles of incorporation is to
eliminate our rights and our stockholders' rights (through stockholder's
derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director
for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches
resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations
described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor
eliminate our rights or any stockholder's right to seek non-monetary relief such
as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of director's duty of
care. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that if Nevada law is
amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a
director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. The Nevada Corporation Code
grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees,
and agents in accordance with applicable law. Our Bylaws provided for
indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable
law. These provisions will not alter the liability or the directors under
federal securities laws.
We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and
officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These
agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts
incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by
or in our right, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer
of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise
to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these
provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified
directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1993, as amended, and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and we will be governed by
the final adjudication of such case.
Page 24
<PAGE>
As is permitted by, and subject to certain limitations stated in, the
Nevada Corporations Code, our bylaws give our Board of Directors the power to
adopt, amend, or repeal our bylaws. Our shareholders entitled to vote have
concurrent power to adopt, amend, or repeal our bylaws.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE
All officers and directors have directors and officers ("D &O")
liability insurance.
KEYMAN LIFE INSURANCE
Keyman Life insurance is expected to be purchases after the effective
date of this offering in amounts up to $1 million, 50% payable to the Company
and 50% payable to family beneficiaries. We are planning to purchase such
insurance towards the cross purchase of shares from the estate of an officer or
director and to provide us with the capital to replace the executive loss
(executive search for successor, etc.).

COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001
par value per share, of which 111,666,243 shares are issued and outstanding.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as, and if declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds available for that purpose, subject to any
priority as to dividends for Preferred Stock that may be outstanding.
YOU HAVE THE VOTING RIGHTS FOR YOUR SHARES. You and all other holders
of common stock re entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters to be voted on by stockholders. You have cumulative voting rights with
respect to the election of directors, with the result that your vote will allow
you a proportionate representation on the Board of Directors.
YOU HAVE DIVIDEND RIGHTS FOR YOUR SHARES. You and all other holders of
common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available, based
upon the percentage of our common stock you own. We will not pay dividends. You
should not expect to receive any dividend income from an investment in shares.
YOU HAVE RIGHTS IF WE ARE LIQUIDATED. Upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of affairs, you and all other holders of our common
stock will be entitled to share in the distribution of all assets remaining
after payment of all debts, liabilities and expenses, and after provision has
been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over our common
stock. Holders of common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other
subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the
common stock. All of the outstanding common stock and the common stock offered
hereby are, when issued in exchange for the consideration paid as set forth in
the Prospectus, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Our directors, at their
discretion, may borrow funds without your prior approval, which potentially
further reduces the liquidation value of your shares.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACQUIRE SHARES OF STOCK BASED UPON THE PERCENTAGE
OF OUR COMMON STOCK YOU OWN WHEN WE SELL MORE SHARES OF OUR STOCK TO OTHER
PEOPLE. This is because we do not provide our stockholders with preemptive
rights to subscribe for or to purchase any additional shares offered by us in
the future. The absence of these rights could, upon our sale of additional
shares, result in a dilution of our percentage ownership that you hold.
PREFERRED STOCK
We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. No
shares of Preferred Stock are presently issued and outstanding.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the designations,
preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights of the Preferred
Stock, and variations in the relative rights and preferences as between
different series, shall be established in accordance with the General
Corporation Law of Nevada by the Board of Directors.
Except for such voting powers with respect to the election of
directors or other matters as may be stated in the resolutions of the Board of
Directors creating any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of any such series
shall have no voting power. Dividends are payable solely at the option of the
Board of Directors, and there is no requirements that any dividend be declared
or paid with respect to any class of stock.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALES
Upon completion of this offering, we will have 116,666,243 shares
issued and outstanding, assuming all the shares offered herein are sold. The
common stock sold in this offering will be freely transferable without
restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any of
our shares purchased by an "affiliate" (as that term is defined under the Act)
who will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act.
There will be approximately 111,666,243 shares outstanding, that are
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act.
The common stock owned by insiders, officers and directors are deemed
"restricted securities" as that term, is defined under the Securities Act and in
the future may be sold under Rule 144, which provides, in essence, that a person
holding restricted securities for a period on one (1) year may sell every three
(3) months, in brokerage transactions and/or market maker transactions, an
amount equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of our issued and
outstanding common stock or (b) the average weekly trading volume of the common
stock during the four (4) calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also
permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of common stock without any
quantity limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company and who
has satisfied a two (2) year holding period. Additionally, common stock
underlying employee stock options granted, to the extent vested and exercised,
may be resold beginning on the ninety-first day after the Effective Date of a
Prospectus, or Offering Memorandum pursuant to Rule 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act.
As of the date hereof and upon completion of the offering,
approximately 78,333,757 of our common stock (other than those which are
qualified by the SEC in connection with this offering) are available for sale
under Rule 144. Future sales under Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Common Stock.
Under Rule 701 of the Securities Act, persons who purchase shares upon
exercise of options granted prior to the date of this Prospectus are entitled to
sell as such common stock after the 90th day following the date of this
Prospectus in reliance on Rule 144, without having to comply with the holding
period requirements of Rule 144 and, in the case of non-affiliates, without
having to comply with the public information, volume limitation or notice
provisions of Rule 144. Affiliates are subject to all Rule 144 restrictions
after this 90 -day period, but without a holding period.
There has been no public market for our common stock. With a
relatively minimal public float and without a professional underwriter, there is
no guarantee that an active and liquid public trading market, as that term is
commonly understood, will develop, or if developed that it will be sustained,
and accordingly, an investment in our common stick should be considered highly
illiquid. Although we believe a public market will be established in the future
in the future, there can be no assurance that a public market for the common
stock will develop. If a public market for the common stock does develop at a
future time, sales by shareholders of substantial amounts of our common stock in
the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and could
impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity
securities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ISHOPNOMARKUP.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Ishopnomarkup.com, Inc. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Company) as of March
31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the period from August 20, 1999 (inception) to March
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Ishopnomarkup.com, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2000 and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 20, 1999
(inception) to March 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has no established source of
revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note
1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Ishopnomarkup.com, Inc. ("Ishop"), a Nevada corporation formed on
August 20, 1999 and its 49% owned subsidiary, C1line.com, Inc. ("C1"),
a Nevada corporation formed on December 10, 1999. Ishop and C1 are
collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company conducts its operations from offices located in Garden
City, Long Island, New York.
Effective December 10, 1999, Ishop acquired 49% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of C1. As a result of the transaction, the
Board of Directors of Ishop are primarily comprised of the same
individuals as C1. Accordingly, although Ishop only holds a 49% equity
interest in C1, Ishop controls the decision-making of C1 and,
therefore, the financial statements are presented on a consolidated
basis.
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, the Company
has no established source of revenue. This factor raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for
the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue in existence.
Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be
sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in
existence:
a) Raise additional working capital through a private placement. The
private placement will be in the form of debt, equity or a
convertible debenture.
b) Seek acquisitions for the company. Acquisitions will be operating
companies in the e-commerce, internet or electronic industries.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is currently a development-stage company under the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") NO. 7.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its
financial position as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
These statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Ishop was formed for the purpose of developing a shopping mall on the
Internet. Ishop will offer products through its website on the
Internet and provide goods directly from the supplier, at no markup to
the purchaser. Ishop will generate revenues by charging a transaction
fee and through advertising, and it will not carry an inventory.
Ishop's initial phase of its business plan will focus on marketing of
books, software, music, games and videos due to the proven popularity
of these items on the Internet. It is anticipated that operating
revenue will commence on or about the second quarter of the year
2000/2001.
C1 was formed for the purpose of developing an Internet site offering
businesses and consumers a full range of products and services related
to the construction industry. C1 is currently a development stage
company with no continuing operations. It is anticipated that revenue
will commence on or about the third quarter of the year 2000/2001.
USE OF 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy
financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured
levels at various times during the year.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable
approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these
instruments.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance
costs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed
using straight-line methods calculated to amortize the cost of assets
over their estimated useful lives, generally five to seven years. Upon
retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost
and related depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the
resulting gains or losses recorded.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the intrinsic value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and related interpretations.
GOODWILL
Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (or goodwill)
generally is amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. The
carrying values of goodwill are reviewed if the facts and
circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. Negative operating
results and negative cash flows from operations, among other factors,
could be indicative of the impairment of goodwill. If this review
indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, the Company's
carrying value of goodwill would be reduced.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
In accordance with American Institutes of Certified Public
Accountants' Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities", the Company expenses, as incurred, costs related
to organizational and start-up activities.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for based on the liability method of
accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
Deferred income taxes, if any, are recorded to reflect the tax
consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end.

LOSS PER SHARE
The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted
EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding
during the period. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume
conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would
have an anti-dilutive effect.
The shares used in the computation were as follows:
MARCH 31, 2000 JUNE 30, 2000
-------------- -------------
Basic and Diluted 43,588,852 111,474,168
=========== ============
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards
for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in the financial statements. The items of other
comprehensive income that are typically required to be displayed are
foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and
unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
securities. At March 31, 2000 and for the period then ended, the
Company had no such transactions.
NOTE 2 - CORPORATE ORGANIZATION
On December 10, 1999, Ishop acquired a 49% equity interest in C1 by
issuing 2,000,000 shares of common stock at the then market price of
$.19 per share, in exchange for 10,290,000 shares of C1, issued at par
value of $.001. The fair value of C1 assets at December 10, 1999 was
$115,000 and, accordingly, goodwill was recorded based on the excess
of the fair value of stock received from Ishop ($380,000) and the 49%
interest acquired in the C1 assets. Goodwill amortization expense for
the period ended March 31, 2000 is $35,961, and for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 is $26,970.
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following:
MARCH 31, 2000 JUNE 30, 2000
-------------- -------------
Equipment and Furniture $ 60,320 $ 98,731

Depreciation expense for the year ended March 31, 2000 is $5,178, and
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 is $1,008.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the Federal
statutory rate is as follows:
Federal Income Tax Rate 34.0%
Effect of Valuation Allowance ( 34.0)%
---------
Effective Income Tax Rate 0.0%
===========
At March 31, 2000, the Company had net carryforward losses of
approximately $1,115,000. Because of the current uncertainty of
realizing the benefits of the tax carryforward, a valuation allowance
equal to the tax benefits for deferred taxes has been established. The
full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carryforward
depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable
income during the carryforward period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for
income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred
tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2000 are as follows:
Deferred Tax Assets
Loss Carryforwards $ 378,000
Less: Valuation Allowance ( 378,000)
------------
Net Deferred Tax Assets $ --

Net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2020.

Part II-INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OFFICERS AND DIRECTIONS
The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to
"indemnification" in the prospectus herein.
At present we have not entered into individual indemnity agreements
with our Officers or Directors. However, our By-Laws and Certificate of
Incorporation provide a blanket indemnification that we shall indemnify, to the
fullest extent under Nevada law, our directors and officers against certain
liabilities incurred with respect to their service in such capabilities. In
addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the personal liability
of our directors and officers and our stockholders for monetary damages will be
limited.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will,
unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we will be governed b y the final
adjudication of such case.
