ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations of
the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and related notes contained in this Form 10-QSB. This Form 10-QSB
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You
can identify these statements by the use of forward-looking words such as "may,"
"will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," or other similar words.
You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they
discuss our future expectations contain projections of our future results of
operations or financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information.
We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our
investors. However there may be events in the future that we are unable to
accurately predict or control. Those events as well as any cautionary language
in this registration statement provide examples of risks, uncertainties and
events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the
expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware
that the occurrence of the events described in this Form 10-QSB could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations.
Among the factors that could effect the Company's actual results and could cause
results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements
contained herein is the Company's ability to expand it's customer base, which
will be dependent on business, financial and other factors beyond the Company's
control, including, among others, seasonal aspects such as the winter months
that tend to reduce the frequency of outdoor payphone use in the east coast,
ability to increase our size and marketing area by purchasing payphones and
locations from independent telephone companies, and whether the public uses our
payphones, together with all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new
enterprise and the marketing of new products.

PLAN OF OPERATION

     USIP.Com, Inc., (the "Company" or "USIP" or "We"), was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Utah on April 6, 1978 as Derby Farms, Inc. On January
19, 1982, the Articles of Incorporation were amended and the name of the company
was changed to Commerce Oil of Kentucky, Inc. On February 4, 2000 the Articles
of Incorporation were amended and the name of the company was changed to
USIP.Com, Inc.

     On April 29, 2000, we entered into a two hundred thousand dollar
($200,000), unsecured line of credit with Lilly Beter Capital Group, Ltd., with
interest at the rate of ten percent per annum. We are accessing these funds, as
needed, on an ongoing basis. These funds are being used to purchase and upgrade
telephones that will be placed at new locations.

     We own, operate and manage privately owned public payphones in New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Our revenue comes from commissions that we
receive from operator service telecommunications companies, and toll free calls.
It also comes from the coins that we collect from the payphones that we own as
well as from sales, service of payphones and prepaid phone cards that we sell at
various locations throughout these states. We enter into site leasing agreements
with various business sites that are open to the public. We pay each site owner
a commission based on a flat monthly rate or on a percentage of sales. Some of
the businesses include but are not limited to retail stores, convenience stores,
bars, restaurants, gas stations, colleges and hospitals. The agreements allow us
to install our payphones in areas that are accessible to the public. We provide
the payphones, install them, and pay all maintenance and operational costs for
the term of each lease. We also sell payphones to some of the site owners. We
derive income from the sale as well as any commission split that we negotiate
with the buyer.

PLANS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000.

Our plans of operation for the remainder of its 2000 fiscal year will consist of
the following activities:

     o    continuing to evaluate the acquisition of more payphones and new site
          leasing arrangements that can enhance the Company's business plan;

     o    expanding our company into more states; and

     o    developing a marketing plan that can help us grow into the next year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion is based in part on our unaudited Financial
Statement for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Our revenue is derived
from three general sources, (i) commission income (ii) coin collections, and
(iii) the sales and service of payphones and sales of phone cards. Commission
income includes two types of commissions: (i) commissions from operator service
telecommunications companies and (ii) commissions for toll free calls.
Commissions for operator service are generally paid on a bi-weekly basis. The
"dial around" for toll free calls is paid to us subject to a three-month delay.
Coin collections are made on a monthly basis or more often if the particular
payphone has significant usage. The coins are counted in house and are deposited
weekly. Sales and repairs of payphones and the sale of phone cards are not
subject to the same collection delays as the other types of operational income.

     Our second quarter gross sales were $394,719 and our third quarter gross
sales were $364,739 a decrease of 8%. This is attributable to the fact that in
the second quarter our equipment sales were $52,040 and decreased by 80% to
$10,624 in the third quarter due to a large sale of telephones to a hospital in
the second quarter. Third quarter costs of sales increased by 33% from $203,225
in the second quarter to $271,072 in the third. Payphone usage tends to increase
during the summer months. Operating expenses of $243,333 for the second quarter
decreased by 44% to $136,991 in the third. This was largely due to a decrease in
administrative telephone costs for the company.

     Our second quarter commissions of $72,599 increased by 3% to $74,435 in the
third quarter. These commissions are paid to us by other long distance carriers
when a customer uses our phone to make a long distace call while using that
other carriers long distance account. Our collections were $157,244 in the
second quarter, and they decreasaed by 1% to $155,330. Collections are generally
done on a 90-120 day cycle, therefore these figures tend to fluctuate from
period to period, depending on what day the moneies were actually collected. The
dial around compensation of $90,487 in the second quarter increased by 2% to
$92,430. These small increases are also due to the fact that we had a large sale
of phones to a hospital in the second quarter and no such sale this quarter.

     Telecommunications costs of $123,188 for the second quarter increased by
18% to $145,914. These costs tend to be higher during the summer months. Service
and repair charges decreased from $10,128 in the second quarter to $4,168 in the
third quarter, a percentage decrease of 59% due to to the fact that in last
quarter we had a big sale to a hospital and we had to install and prepare these
phones for use by the public.

     Travel expenses decreased by 61% this quarter from $12,235 to $4,810. due
to the fact that the recently acquired Coin Tel and NB payphone routes are now
on a set collection and maintence schedule. Salary expenses decreased by 35%
from $88,534 to $57,595 due to a reduction in staffing of the acquired
companies.

     The operating loss decreased from $51,839 in the second quarter to $43,324
in the third quarter which is a decrease of 16% due to better control of
expenses.

     For additional capital requirements, we have increased our line of credit
with our banking institution up to $200,000 of which the balance is
approximately $30,597. We have an additional unsecured


                                       8
<PAGE>

line of credit with Lilly Beter Capital Group, Ltd., in the amount of $200,000.
We are accessing these funds, as needed, on an ongoing basis. We intend to use
the remaining monies for our continued expansion.

     The increased use of the cellular telephone has substantially impacted the
public's use of payphones, and we believe that the trend will continue to
increase as the cost for cellular usage declines. However, we have attempted to
minimize some of the impact from cellular use by avoiding traditional travel
locations where cellular use is high. The impact on revenue is offset in part by
reductions in the cost for basic telecommunications services as shown by the
precentage reduction for 1998 to 1999. We believe that this trend will continue
into the foreseeable future. We expect to increase revenue by advertising. This
type of advertisement will be affixed to each payphone booth.

     We will continue our expansion efforts by acquiring additional phones from
small independent local exchange companies. We have made some headway in
expanding the use of phone-to-phone Internet usage on our payphones as a means
of further reducing the costs in the future. We will be exploring the use of
existing services while we develop our own proprietary software and services for
resale to other payphone providers.
