shares of the Company's Common Stock), to Messrs. Albert M. Zlotnick and Irving
I. Lassoff. In January, 1998, Mr. Lassoff sold an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares

Company, to Albert M. Zlotnick.

         The Company currently has no full time employees. Its Chairman,

         The Company presently maintains its corporate and administrative
offices at 301 City Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA. The Company utilizes a portion of
the premises occupied by Davic Associates, an investment firm owned by Albert M.

Associates has, until further notice, waived the payment of rent by the Company.
No rent was paid in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

General
-------
           In May 1989, the Company suspended all operations except for
necessary administrative matters and ceased to be an operating company. As such,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had no


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

revenues from operations. Given the virtual suspension of the Company's
operations except for necessary administrative matters, the Company's officers
have waived further compensation.

Results of Operations
---------------------

           During the year ended December 31, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"), the Company
earned interest of $6,800 as compared to $8,885 of interest earned in the year
ended December 31, 1999 ("Fiscal 99"), a decrease of $2,085. The Company earned
additional interest income of $3,710 in Fiscal 2000 for interest income
associated with a receivable from an affiliated entity. The Company earned other
income of $11,406 in Fiscal 99 for reimbursement of professional fees associated
with a potential merger. During Fiscal 2000, the Company incurred general and
administrative expenses of $22,974 as compared to $21,451 for Fiscal 2000, an
increase of $1,523.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

           During Fiscal 2000, the Company satisfied its working capital needs
from cash on hand at the beginning of the year and cash generated from interest
income during the year. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had working capital
of $183,125. This working capital is expected to be sufficient to provide the
Company with sufficient capital while it seeks a merger, acquisition or other
arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity, although
there is no assurance that this will occur.

Market Risk
-----------

         The Company's market risk includes the potential decrease in interest
earned on its cash and cash equivalents arising from a decline in interest
rates.

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

         The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is making this
cautionary statement in connection with such safe harbor legislation. This Form
10-KSB, and the Annual Report to Shareholders, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K of the
Company or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the
Company may include forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's
current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project,"
"should" and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Report Act
of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this Form 10-KSB are "forward-looking
statements," and are based on management's current expectations of the Company's
near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the
Company, including the risk factors noted below.

         The Company wishes to caution investors that any forward looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not
limited to: changing economic and political conditions in the United States and
in other countries, changes in governmental spending and budgetary policies,
governmental laws and regulations surrounding various matters such as
environmental remediation, contract pricing and international trading
restrictions, customer product acceptance and continued access to capital
markets and foreign currency risks. The Company wishes to caution investors that
other factors may, in the future, prove to be important in affecting the
Company's results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the
impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or
a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any forward-looking statements.

         Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements as they speak only to the Company's views as of the
date the statement is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

                          ----------------------------




To the Board of Directors
Upward Technology, Inc.
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Upward Technology, Inc. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Upward Technology, Inc. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1.       Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Nature of business - The Company presently conducts no business, but is
         searching for appropriate investment and acquisition opportunities. Its
         only income consists of interest from investment income.

         Earnings per share - The Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes
         standards for computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Per share
         data is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding. The Company does not have any outstanding options or
         warrants. The weighted average number of common shares was 8,100,000
         for both basic and diluted in 2000 and 1999.

         Cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
         Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
         maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         Short-term investments potentially subject the Company to
         concentrations of credit risk. To limit this risk, the Company places
         its short-term cash investments with high credit quality financial
         institutions.

         The carrying value of the financial instruments, including cash and
         cash equivalents, approximates fair value as of December 31, 2000 and
         1999, because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

         Use of estimates - The presentation 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.

         Income taxes - The Company follows the provisions of Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
         which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
         for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
         included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method,
         deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
         differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
         liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the
         differences are expected to reverse.

2.       Due from Affiliate

         The Company advanced monies during the year ended December 31, 2000 to
         Davic Associates, a related party in which a majority shareholder of
         the Company is a principal. The advances are due on demand and bear
         interest at a rate of 6% per annun on the outstanding principal balance
         of $185,500 at December 31, 2000. Accrued interest in the amount of
         $3,710 has been added to the balance.

3.       Due to Shareholder

         The amount due to shareholder is non-interest bearing with no specific
         repayment terms.



4.       Management Fees

         The Company has agreed to compensate its president and principle
         shareholder for his services in maintaining the corporate books and
         records and in investigating possible merger and acquisition candidates
         for the Company, and to reimburse him for expenses incurred. There were
         no management fees for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
         respectively.



4.       Income Taxes

         The Company is classified as a personal holding company for federal
         income tax purposes for each of the years presented. The Company is
         subject to a federal tax equal to 39.6% of its undistributed earnings,
         in addition to any other income taxes payable.

         At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
         of approximately $41,000 which will expire in years 2007 through 2015
         for federal income tax purposes. For personal holding company tax
         purposes, only the preceding year's net operating loss is allowed to
         reduce undistributed personal holding company income.

         A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to a
         level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The valuation
         allowance provided effectively eliminated the deferred tax asset
         resulting from net operating loss carryforwards.

         The Company did not incur a personal holding income tax or state income
         tax for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, due to operating
         losses incurred in 2000 and utilization of net operating loss
         carryforwards in 1999.
