Brandmakers Readies Launch of New Products, Moves Offices and Proceeds With Audit

Thursday December 11, 8:00 am ET

BUFORD, Ga., Dec. 11, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Brandmakers, Inc. (Other OTC:BMKS.PK - News) moves to new and less expensive office and warehouse space with the same telephone numbers. Brandmakers currently trades on the pink sheets due to the late filings as announced on November 11, 2003 but substantial progress is being made to conclude the audit and file the 6/30/03 10 KSB and the 9/30/03 10 QSB.

Of more interest to shareowners and the investment community are new products to be launched in January 2004. We now have an Ink Jet Cartridge Vending Machine that is top of the line, dispensing 61 different selections holding up to 736 items. The machine will give change in $1 coins only. It is 72`` in height, 41'' in width, 36`` in depth and weighs 615 pounds. It has an LED display as well as the necessary accounting features; a credit card reader will be an optional extra. There are seven full size trays that easily pull out and are flexible for adding or changing products.

The ink jet cartridge business is among the fastest growing in the United States and the world with billions in annual sales. Brandmakers has access to quality cartridges at a 40% to 60% discount of prices offered at major stores. These are brand new, compatible and remanufactured cartridges that contain the identical quantity of ink and are of equally high quality as the original printer brands and are warranted for one year.

Machine dispensing is favorable for security as well as avoiding the ``slippage'' problems experienced by all retailers. There are prime locations such as office complexes, Colleges and Universities, copy machine locations, 24-hour major grocery stores, shopping centers and many others.

Brandmakers is in the process of forming alliances with others in the ink cartridge business as well as distributors.

We are looking forward to marketing the Ink Jet Cartridge Vending Machine and participating in this growing business.

WebBox Exceeds Income Expectations For October, 2003; Wall Street Reporter Interviews Board Member

SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 19, 2003, Nov. 19, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Brandmakers, Inc. (OTCBB:BMKSE) announced that their Internet Division, MailStart-WebBox, exceeded income expectations for October, 2003 and continues to be profitable with exceptionally low overhead. The division offers free email service on www.mailstart.com limited to once per week usage to encourage sign ups to the WebBox subscription service, www.webbox.com . The WebBox annual subscription fee was increased in September, 2003 to $18 from $15, considered to be quite a bargain at just $1.50 per month.

WebBox is advertising-free and offers numerous features with up to five email accounts; address book; calendar; filters and folders to stay organized; attachment sending and receiving; spam filtering; zero wait technology; and a virtual office on the Web with 20 MB of dedicated file storage.

Brandmakers acquired MailStart in June, 1998 and traffic increased from 300,000 impressions in the first month to over 30,000,000 impressions per month by January, 2001 with in excess of 1,000,000 users.

"However, we could not make it economically with advertising so we commenced the subscription service for WebBox in February, 2001. Consequently, our highest cash flow months come from renewals in February and March of each year.

"The cash flow has been quite significant for the division and Michael Hudson has performed exceptionally well in keeping the service running with gradual improvements," reported Board of Directors member Bob Palmquist.

Wall Street Reporter, www.wallstreetreporter.com, interviewed Bob Palmquist on November 18, 2003 and was provided with current information regarding Brandmakers including two products that will be topics of future news releases as company plans now call for keeping shareowners well-informed.

Brandmakers, Inc. consists of two divisions, Games and Vending, with new products soon to be announced, and MailStart-WebBox.

Brandmakers Commences Audit With New Accounting Firm

Wednesday November 12, 8:00 am ET SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 12, 2003, Brandmakers, Inc. (OTC BB:BMKS.OB - News) announces that their audit is underway and will soon be up to date on filings of the annual 10 KSB and the current 10 QSB. Brandmakers is currently traded BMKSE due to a late filing of the 10 KSB and has contacted the NASD compliance section for guidance.

Our new auditing firm is Tauber & Balser, P.C. located in Atlanta, Georgia and we look forward to working with them now and in future years. Neil T. Harkins, CPA is in charge of the audit and J. Marc Welch, CPA will work closely with us as well.

Bearden & Smith, our former accounting firm and auditor recommended Tauber & Balser to us, which we appreciate. Bearden & Smith commenced the audit verifying our inventory count and advising us of the documentation needed which we prepared. However, Brandmakers did not immediately proceed with the audit due to financial constraints.

We contacted Bearden & Smith on October 24, 2003 that we were ready to continue the audit but were advised via email on October 27, 2003 that their firm had elected not to register with the S.E.C. and therefore, could not continue with the audit. This has set the audit completion date back two or three weeks but we have had an excellent relationship with Bearden & Smith and that will continue in the future.

The B/A spread is tightening up, that's a good sign.

G,

I just asked Matt via PM to turn the Chair of GVTS over to you, but you will need to quit the childish bickering crap or you will end up with no board at all, IMHO.

I have no overwhelming continuing interest in GVTS, I do lots of boards on iHub as compliment to other posters' interests.

I would suggest that you write to Matt and promise to chill in exchange to the Chair of GVTS. then try to be like the Fonz, and maybe you'll hang on to it.

JM, refering to gravitas. What's up with you lately, you've been quiet lately. Vacation?

[jmhollen]

Not sure which ones you are refering to.

JM, did you see what happened to your
other stocks today. Nice eh?!

[gitimancip]

I guess you are right , by the way , can you
help me set up RSCA as a board.

[jmhollen]

BMKS is not badly managed. They got killed by the DOT.COM crash when many of their strategically associated B2B companies simply evaporated overnight. In fact, there has been some internal restructuring of late, so Geoff Williams has more time to design and develop new machines - which is his forte'.

Atlanta looked like a Ghost Town when Alum Greenspurt got done with it.

TBMKS is building new game and vending machines to fill back-orders, and News is overdue.

Stay tuned.

John

[gitimancip]

Not too healthy ,one would think bmks should be worth
more, but although it has a much better future than
dnre ,I still think it's another case of bad
management .

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The summary of Brandmakers Inc.'s (the "Company") significant accounting policies are incorporated by reference to the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB dated June 30, 2002.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are
necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results of the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. The Company has suffered from significant losses and losses have continued during 2002 forcing a divesture of the
ZOOM Communications division as reported previously. There are still financial difficulties with a negative working capital
that must be overcome. Management's plan in regard to these matters is described in the management discussion and
analysis. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.


From time to time, the Company may have asserted or unasserted claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company
does not expect losses, if any, arising from these asserted or unasserted claims to have a material effect on the financial
statements.


During December 2000, the Company made a decision to discontinue the operations of its United Kingdom operations of
K.W. Leisure. The operations of the segment have ceased which resulted in a judgment against Brandmakers, Inc.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the
words "believe," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, changes in the regulation of
the internet industry at either the federal and state levels, competitive pressures in the games and vending or internet
industry and the Company's response thereto, the Company's ability to obtain and retain favorable arrangements with
third-party payers, the Company's ability to obtain capital in favorable terms and conditions, and general conditions in the
economy.


The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and financial conditions should be read in conjunction with
the Company's condensed consolidated unaudited Financial Statements listed in Part I, Item I and the notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.


COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED March 2003 and 2002.


After adjustments, revenue increased to $377,037 for the three months ending March 31, 2003 from $317,616 for the three
months ending March 31, 2002. Cost of sales were $126,078 in the 2003 period resulting in a gross profit of $250,959
compared with cost of sales of $108,287 in the 2002 period resulting in a gross profit of $209,329. Salaries were $120,842
and operating expenses $132,374 in 2003 versus salaries of $75,006 and operating expenses of $100,397 in 2002. After
expenses and interest the net loss from continuing operations was $2,745 in the three months ending March 31, 2003. After
debt forgiveness of $410,505 from the agreement with Multi-Page Communications, the profit in the 2003 period was
$407,760. In the 2002 period the loss from continuing operations was $6,473 which included a loss of $37,267 for a disposal
of assets. After restating the loss from discontinued operations of $138,711 from the ZOOM Communications division and a
gain of $39,856 on the sale of ZOOM, the total net loss for the three-month period ended in 2002 was $105,328. The
settlement with Multi-Page resulting in debt forgiveness of $410,505 is covered in more detail under Recent Developments.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 2003 AND 2002.


Revenue increased to $1,211,621 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from $813,135 for the nine months ended March 31,
2002. Cost of goods sold amounted to $507,779 for the 2003 period versus $219,108 in 2002. Gross profits increased to
$703,842 for the nine month period ended 2003 compared to $594,027 in 2002. Salaries for the nine month period ended 2003
were $241,455 and expenses were $431,778 resulting in operating income of $30,609 and after interest expense of $2,336, the
income from continuing operations was $28,273. After the gain from debt forgiveness of $410,505 from the negotiated
settlement with Multi-Page, the profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $438,778. Salaries for the nine month
period ended 2002 were $233,347 and expenses were $291,900 resulting in a loss from continuing operations of $2,436 after
interest expense of $33,949 and $37,267 from a loss on disposal of assets. With a gain of $39,856 on the sale of ZOOM and
loss of $236,590 on the discontinued operations of ZOOM, the net loss for the period ended March 31, 2002 was $199,170. The
increased revenues for the 2003 period were due to increased sales in the Gamosity division which also results in a higher
cost of goods sold. Cash flow for the period was fair when considering that depreciation was $150,003.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES - the company's net cash flow from operating activities was $43,772 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 2003 compared to $204,126 for the 2002 period. Accounts receivable increased $73,824 in the 2003
period compared to a decrease of $87,098 in 2002. Inventories increased by $72,722 in the nine month period ended March 31,
2003 versus a decrease of $126,686 in 2002. Accounts payable increased by $106,294 in the 2003 period versus a decrease of
$39,162 in 2002. Other current liabilities decreased by $65,383 in 2003 compared to an increase of $36,096 in 2002. Deferred
revenue recognized by WebBox sign ups decreased by $31,169 in the 2003 period versus an increase of $29,951 in
2002. Accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable all increased due to sales increases in the Gamosity division.


CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES - The company's net cash used in investing activities was an increase in deposits of
1,399 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to a net of $37,835 in the 2002 period primarily for capital
expenditures.


CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES - The Company's net cash flow from financing activities was a decrease of $45,704 in the
2003 period which included a reduction of notes payable to Multi-Page as well as long term debt and capital leases and an
increase of $50,092 in our line of credit. In addition, a company Director advanced the company $30,000 as of March 31,
2003. In the 2002 period there was a reduction of $91,274 in long term debt.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


Brandmakers continues to focus on profitability, its core competencies, and continuing to strengthen its organization. In
this quarter, Brandmakers reduced its debt by nearly $500,000 based upon an agreement with Multi Page Communications. In
February of 2002, Brandmakers negotiated a settlement amount of $100,000 due on or before March 22, 2003. In March of 2003,
Brandmakers paid its final payment in full to Multi Page which removed a total of $491,707 from its notes payable on the
balance sheet.


In April of 2003, Brandmakers released its newest product, a vending machine called the Booster Vender. The product was
developed at its corporate headquarters located in Suwanee, GA. After extensive site testing, it is ready for the
marketplace. The Booster Vender is the first vending machine of its kind in that it vends a product, a cell phone antenna
booster as seen on TV, for a set price, then; it vends four free sweepstake tickets. Buyers of the product can then redeem
their sweepstakes tickets for cash prizes. It is our belief that the Booster Vender is accepted in all states that have
specific sweepstakes laws and also those that allow for redemption.


Brandmakers continues to successfully sell its Royal Magic redemption game and is currently working on modifications to the
game to make it even more attractive to its patrons. Also under development is our Magic Touch coin pusher. We expect this
to be completed by early next quarter. We are continuing to look for opportunities to expand our product offering and we
feel the coin pusher marketplace is wide open for growth.


Also in the quarter, Brandmakers has begun selling service to operators, to manage large redemption game routes for a
percentage of the profits of each machine. We believe this to be a lucrative expansion of our service and support
offering. We have launched with our first client late in the quarter and are expecting it to be producing consistent
revenues in the following quarters.


WebBox, the web-based email and virtual office division of Brandmakers continues to work on improvements by the addition of
features as well as increasing speed and reliability. MailStart continues as a free email service with usage limited to once
per week to encourage sign ups to WebBox. The WebBox renewals provided good cash flow in the three month period ended March
31, 2003.

For the six months ended 12/31/02, revenues rose 68% to $835 thousand. Net income from continuing operations totaled $31 thousand, up from $1 thousand. Revenues reflect an increase in sales. Higher income also reflects lower salaries and wages and reduced interest expenses.

We seem to have a new machine product RED ARROWS :

Our Internet division, Mailstart and Webbox, have millions of visitors a year and have generated a subscriber base of nearly 100,000 members in just 12 months. Cell phone vendors, floppy disk and CD vendors, Virtual Reality Golf and Red Arrows are some to the products our games and vending division produce and sell.

[evan]

Gamosity, the games and vending division of Brandmakers, imports and manufactures skill machines for amusement and redemption purposes in addition to their line of vending machines. In July, the State of Georgia banned the use of all games of chance. This included video poker, 8 liners and blackjack machines. Consequently, it is estimated that in excess of 40,000 machines had to be picked up and taken out of locations. This created an opportunity for Brandmaker's skill machines such as Royal Magic. Royal Magic is an innovative redemption machine that utilizes mechanical reels, similar to the look and feel of slot machines, which allow players to use their skill to win and redeem prizes. It will not result in a winning combination unless assisted by the player's skill, which is critical to adhering to the laws of Georgia. Royal Magic is very appealing to players that have played Las Vegas style games, and, based on the ban of games of chance, we believe it will have strong appeal amongst such players. In October, 2002, Brandmakers requested and received a positive legal opinion regarding Royal Magic. According to this opinion, Royal Magic adheres to the laws in Georgia regarding redemption machines. Based on this opinion and based on the lack of machines that adhere to the Georgia laws, in October, 2002, Mr. Minard commenced ordering the equipment necessary to manufacture and sell these machines, initially focusing on sales in Georgia. In November, 2002, Brandmakers began taking orders for Royal Magic, and, in January, 2003, Brandmakers began filling such orders. Sales during the quarter included two computer disk vending machines, fifty-four pull tab machines and forty-six Royal Magic machines. During the period, the division hired a full time technician as well as a part time person to assist with assembling machines. Currently, other unique redemption and vending machines are being considered by Brandmakers for development.

Bottom line :
Sales during the quarter included two computer disk vending machines, fifty-four pull tab machines and forty-six Royal Magic machines. During the period, the division hired a full time technician as well as a part time person to assist with assembling machines. Currently, other unique redemption and vending machines are being considered by Brandmakers for development.

[evan]

They filled.

2002 AND 2001.


Revenue increased from $495,519 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 to $834,584 for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Cost of goods sold amounted to $110,822 for the 2001 period versus $381,701 in 2002. Consequently, gross profits increased to $452,883 for the six month period ended 2002 compared to $384,697 in 2001. Expenses for the six month period ended 2002 were $420,017 resulting in a profit of $31,018 from continuing operations after interest expense of $1,848. Expenses for the six month period ended 2001 were $352,953 resulting in a profit from continuing operations of $1,027 after interest expense of $30,317. However, there was a net loss in 2001 of $93,842 after a loss on discontinued operations of ZOOM Communications of $94,869 compared with net income of $31,018 in 2002. Note that accrued salaries in the amount of $65,191 were written off in the three month period ended 9/30/02 as reported in the 10 QSB. The primary reason for a profit in the 2002 period was due to improved revenues as well as the accrued salaries that were written off versus a substantial loss in the 2001 period due to the discontinued operations of ZOOM Communications.

[evan]

It's impossible to add a large number without driving the price up over 5 cents. No large block sellers. It would be good to get more trading to reduce the crazy spread. Countdown to the 10QSB filing next Friday. I think we will see almost positive cash flow for the last quarter, no counting depreciation and be firmly in the black for this quarter, with some interesting footnotes instead of PRs.

[Dora]

Still don't like SYTE "Evan" ex Limey

[evan]

You will not have long to wait, the 10QSB will show if the slot machines are selling or not and whether they now have positive cash flow. Because of loss carryover and depreciation it could be years before they have to pay any taxes. Also take alook at ENGY. If their green machine process works and is cost effective ENGY could be in the right place at the right time. Of course so will the investors

[kobbetje]

I am still in and a lot of friends of mine too

[evan]

Countdown to the 10QSB filing. This time I think it will show a continuing turn-around and have some interesting footnotes. I don't regret being in so long, to accumulate the number of shares I have in the next three months would blow the price past 5 cents. Newbies may be able to pick up a 100k or so at these prices, but that's it.

[evan]

I think 2003 is make or break year for BMKS. The first sign will be the February 14th 10QSB, which reflects business through the end of December 02, I don't expect much from these numbers, maybe even a small loss. The key will be in the footnotes, which should talk about first qaurter 03 sales of slot machines and company future plans.

[evan]

CURRENT BUSINESS INFORMATION: Brandmakers, Inc. consists of two technology-base divisions with a foucs on games and vending and Internet application development. Gamosity, the games and vending division, focuses on computerized games and vending machine manufacturing and distribution. MailStart engages in Internet application development and offers gateway e-mail service as well as its WebBox application.

[evan]

BMKS has literally doubled its machine business in the last three months, but it hasn't been able to capture all of the profitability associated with that growth. operations in 2002 and the expectation is for improvement in that part of the business in 2003 and 2004. With the team they have in place,they believe they are on track to be successful in this marketplace.

[jmhollen]

Hey,

I had a real nice chat with Tim Minard this afternoon. Sounds like he's getting a good grip on the overall operation, developing some effective strategies, in the process of clearing out left-over cobwebs, and is planning on keeping us Longs a whole lot better informed.

The normal business reports should be out soon, and we should see some news on the wires within the next 15+/- days, or so. Obviously that had to be put in the "..SEC-related Officially Wishy-washy.." category, but it sounded sincere to me.

I pointed out that we were certainly starved for news, and that even small items like new employees, etc., would be worth hearing about.

Additionally, I suggested an "..Investors Update Page.." on the BMKS website - where little tidbits that don't deserve a full-blown PR could be shared.

"...T-h-a-n-g-s is definitely lookin' up....."!!!


John

Park your Sub at the iHub - Bub; .....the experience might just "...float your boat..." !!!

[evan]

It's a pretty decent quarter -- as expected there will be upside to the numbers. I think we have a buy on the rumor and sell on the news."

[evan]

Looking forward to a PR, not sure what it will do for the stock price. It will take more than that to re-build investor confidence and interest after leaving investors in the wilderness for several years.

[evan]

Slot machines are being shipped, this should be a good quarter, but the cash flow will not show up in the February 15th filing, since that is for the period ending December 31st. A PR would be nice or at least a statement in the 10QSB.

[evan]

I had to pay .013 also, come on tax-sellers, dump, I want a bucketful for Xmas.

[evan]

Someone is doing some smart buying at .015. It can't last, no selling and there are few MMs with very little stock. I think the company told me once about 50% of the float was with people who kept their own certificates. I guess the company gets that information from the transfer agent and stock holder lists.

[evan]

Tim baby, do something, even if it's only tell the world you are the new CEO and INTEND to do something. Shout it from the roof tops or at least in a PR

WHAT ABOUT THESE APPLES?

In July, the State of Georgia banned the use of all games of chance. This included video poker, 8 liners and blackjack machines.

This created an opportunity for our skill machines such as the Royal Magic, reported Geoff Williams, so we requested and received a legal opinion so that we can commence ordering the equipment necessary to manufacture and place these machines.

That's next week

I don't expect to see anything until the first week of DEC.

Takes a little time to break in the new guy, and hash out the PRs, etc.

About our new CEO, via RB

From Atlanta Business Chronicle Nov. 2001:

Computer shop upgrades its future
Mary Jane Credeur Staff Writer

A year ago, computer equipment upgrade shop TradeUps Inc. was $2 million in debt and riding the downward spiral that forced its incubator, eHatchery LLC, out of business this year.




Today the 2-year-old company has a new CEO, an infusion of $5.6 million in venture capital and a new business plan that caters to big-money computer manufacturers like Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq: DELL) and IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) to take old equipment out of a saturated personal computer market.



"I adored the concept the very first time I saw it, but the company had some weaknesses," said Timothy Minard, a Wisconsin native who made millions on an earlier start-up and now backs a venture firm called Minard Ventures. "The burn rate was too high, and there wasn't a clear enough focus."



Minard was named CEO of TradeUps early this year, and immediately redrafted the company's business plan to veer away from individual consumers and go after major manufacturers who have a financial incentive to replace old equipment with newer versions.



The new CEO invested $500,000 of his own cash and helped the company raise its $5.6 million series B extension round, which closed in mid-November, bringing the company's lifetime funding to $8 million. Investors include Cordova Intellimedia Ventures, which led the round, Noro-Moseley Partners, Total Technology Ventures, Atlanta Technology Angels and Imlay Investments Inc.



TradeUps matches computer manufacturers with companies that recondition used equipment and redistribute it to schools, youth organizations, charities and others. TradeUps gets a contract fee ranging from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars for each sizable transaction.



An estimated 113 million personal computers were sold in 2000, according to research by The Gartner Group Inc. (NYSE: IT), possibly displacing tens of millions of outdated PCs each year.



"Companies do what we do, and they store [old] equipment in a warehouse until it builds up, then they do a big sweep and get rid of it," said Frances O'Brien, who tracks computer obsolescence for Gartner.



So TradeUps acts as a go-between to find companies or organizations with a large number of used computers and match them with firms that refurbish or resell. The value of the traded-in goods goes toward the purchase of new equipment, which attracts manufacturers because it provides an incentive to consumers to buy the latest equipment. Earned credit usually runs in the 10 percent range of the value of the old computer.



"People are much more willing to buy a new computer if they can get $100 or $150 for the old one," said Steve Nussrallah, a principal with Noro-Moseley who oversaw the deal and now sits on the TradeUps board.



There are several dozen Web-based companies across the nation that take trade-in computer equipment and apply the value toward new goods, but few, if any, have formal support from the major manufacturers. In addition to IBM and Dell, TradeUps has agreements in place with Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HWP) and Eastman Kodak Co. (NYSE: EK), which makes digital cameras, printers and scanners.



Frank Dalton, managing director of Cordova, said TradeUps' service is a way for manufacturers to gain market share by "buying up" old equipment made by their competitors and applying the value to machines they make.



TradeUps wasn't always so focused. The company was founded in 1999 by former Innotrac Corp. vice president Joel Holtzman as a marketplace for individual consumers who wanted to get rid of old electronics, but that revenue model didn't work well, investors said.



The company was housed initially in the eHatchery high-tech incubator at Southern Dairies in Midtown.



After dramatically cutting its staff and shifting to a technology consulting model early this year, eHatchery shuttered its windows around the same time Minard Ventures bought out eHatchery's stake in TradeUps.

Hi,

I used a little spare change to pick up some at 0.018 (..under the ASK..) this morning.
