BRANDMAKERS INC (BMKS.OB)
Annual Report (SEC form 10KSB)
Item 6. Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

This report on Form 10-KSB 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 wireless communication and internet industry at either the federal and state levels, competitive pressures in the wireless communication and 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 this economy.


Overview

Through the reverse acquisition in November 1999, the Company became a public reporting company. The Company raised funds through private placements of equity securities. These funds were used to invest in all of the Company's divisions. The ZOOM Communications division provided the majority of revenues but was sold to NTN Communications due to rising losses.

Gamosity, the games and vending division, is making progress primarily with pull tab vending machines and skill games. There are also modest sales of cell phone dispensing machines as well as computer disk dispensing machines. Coin Pusher machines are also a possibility for the next fiscal year.

MailStart remains as a free service which may be accessed just once per week to encourage sign ups for WebBox, our premium subscription service. WebBox is advertising free with numerous features including up to five email accounts and 20 megs of storage. The annual fee for the unlimited use of WebBox is $15.

Results of Operations:

Year Ended June 30, 2002 compared to Year Ended June 30, 2001.

Revenues: Note that both revenues and expenses of the ZOOM Communications division are presented as losses from discontinued operations for both periods since that division was sold in April, 2002. The Company had revenues of $998,342 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $765,219 for the same period in 2001. This represents an increase of over 30.4%. The primary reason for the increase is renewal income for WebBox as well as increased sales for games and vending. MailStart-WebBox revenues increased from $403,894 in 2001 to $560,953 in 2002 while deferred revenue increased from $267,108 in 2001 to $296,162 in 2002. Deferred revenue is carried as a current liability on the balance sheet and represents WebBox income spread out over a twelve month period. Revenues for games and vending increased from 284,474 in 2001 to $437,389 in 2002.

Cost of Sales: The Company's cost of sales decreased from $313,402 for the year ended June 30, 2001 to $305,513 for the same period in 2002. This was a decrease of just over 2.5%. The gross profit in 2001 was $451,807 which is 59% while the gross profit in 2002 was $692,829 which is just over 69%. The majority of the increase in gross profits can be attributed to the increased WebBox revenues with a relatively low cost of sales.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2002 were $744,462 as compared to $984,474 for the same period in 2001. The Company experienced a loss from operations of $51,633 in 2002 including $186,332 for amortization and depreciation as compared to a loss from operations of $532,667 in 2001 including $178,149 for amortization and depreciation. Salaries and wages decreased from $415,804 in 2001 to $296,959 in 2002. Other operating expenses decreased from $285,380 in 2001 to $201,584 in 2002.


Other Income and Expense: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 interest expense was $45,612 with interest income of $2,039 compared to interest expense of $107,733 and interest income of $14,784 in 2001. There was a loss on disposal of assets of $37,267 in 2002 period.

Discontinued Operations: The Company experienced a loss for the year ended June 30, 2002 of $297,870 from the operations of ZOOM Communications and a gain on the sale of ZOOM of $39,856. For the period ended 2001, there was a loss of $685,666 from the operations of K.W. Leisure and a loss $24,809 on the disposal of K.W. Leisure. There was also a loss for the 2001 period of $265,820 from the operations of ZOOM Communications.

Overall, the loss for the year ended June 30, 2002 was $390,487 as compared to a loss for the same period in 2001 of $1,601,911.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities: The Company's net cash flow from operating activities was $157,288 in 2002 compared to $56,471 in 2001. In 2001 there were losses of $486,729 for impairment of goodwill, $24,809 for discontinued operations of K.W. Leisure and $51,525 for stock option expenses. Receivables decreased by $438,610 in 2001 compared to a decrease of $127,737 in 2002. Inventories decreased by $68,489 in 2001 versus a decrease of $139,722 in 2002. Accounts payable increased by $195,662 in 2001 compared to a decrease of $54,756 in the same period of 2002. Deferred revenues increased by $267,108 in 2001 due to WebBox subscription income being spread out over one year and increased another $29,054 in 2002. Other current liabilities decreased by $186,932 in 2001 and increased by $35,202 in 2002. Brandmakers has has had significant losses through the year ended June 30, 2002 and has negative working capital of $1,393,325. WebBox cash flow has been helpful, particularly during the months of February, March and April 2002 for past due debts and to overcome losses and expenses in the divesture of the ZOOM Communications division. Currently, games and vending sales have been increasing which is necessary to achieve an operating profit. It is recognized that the Company needs to raise additional capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Capital expenditures totaled $18,887 in 2001 and by $49,749 in 2002 plus an additional $1,855 used for purchase of certificates of deposit in 2002. In 2001, a certificate of deposit in the amount of $320,884 matured and was paid to a leasing company for MailStart-WebBox equipment.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities: The cash used in financing activities was totaled $151,377 for the year ended June 30, 2002 compared to $389,138 for the same period in 2001. There were payments on a line of credit of $54,500 in 2002 versus borrowings of $142,013 on the line of credit in 2001. Principal payments on notes payable were $17,888 in 2002 and $7,200 in 2001. Principal payments under capital lease obligations were $77,652 in 2002 compared to payments of $523,951 in 2001. Cash as of June 30, 2002 was $6,224 compared with $51,917 on June 30, 2001. Additional financing will be necessary for Brandmakers to expand activities as well as to meet obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Brandmakers, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brandmakers, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brandmakers, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note I to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses through the year ended June 30, 2002 and has negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note I. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2002 does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2002 and 2001


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Brandmakers, Inc. (the Company) is a Utah corporation consisting of two technology-based divisions with a focus 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. The Company grants normal trade credit to its customers who are located principally in the United States.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A summary of the significant accounting policies of the Company applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

1. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brandmakers, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, K.W. Leisure Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

2. Business Combinations

Asset Acquisitions

During February 2000, the Company acquired certain assets of Multi-Page Communications, LLC, in foreclosure, from certain individuals. The assets included inventories and fixed assets. The assets were acquired for approximately $600,000 to be paid in cash or Company stock (at the Company's option), ten months from the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been discounted to approximately $550,000 using an interest rate of 8%.

During March 2000, the Company acquired certain assets from K.W. Machines, Ltd., a British concern, for approximately 400,000£ sterling, with 200,000£ sterling being paid at closing, and the remaining 200,000£ sterling being due in September 2000. The assets consisted of inventories and fixed assets.

These acquisitions have been treated as asset acquisitions with the purchase price being allocated to the fair market values of the related assets, with any excess allocated to goodwill as follows:


Multi-Page Communications K.W. Machines, Ltd.
Inventories $160,000 $104,000
Fixed assets 106,000 48,000
Goodwill 284,000 488,000
$550,000 $640,000

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

2. Business Combinations - continued

Subsequent to the acquisition of the Multi-Page Communications assets, it was determined that the inventories did not have any significant ongoing value. Due to continued losses by this division subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determined that there had been an impairment loss related to this acquisition. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $494,000, related primarily to the original inventory and goodwill amounts during the year ended June 30, 2000. The Company is currently in default on the remaining payments due on this obligation and is making alternative payments (note B).

In December 2000, the Company ceased all operations of K.W. Leisure, Ltd. Due to the lack of performance, the Company determined that there had been an impairment loss related to this acquisition. As a result, the Company closed this segment of their operations (note J) and recognized an impairment loss on goodwill of approximately $487,000. The Company is currently in default on the final installment debt payment of $320,000 that was due in September 2000.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on products sold at the time of shipment due to no right of return by the customer. Revenue for services provided are recognized when the actual services have been performed.

Fees received for services yet to be provided are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as income upon the services being provided over the related contractual period.

4. Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of the Company's United Kingdom operations are translated from Pounds Sterling into U.S. dollars at the rate of currency exchange at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting translation differences, if material, are recognized as a component of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income. The resulting translation differences for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were not significant.

5. Accounts Receivable

During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company had an accounts receivable agreement, whereby a financial institution advanced the Company up to $1,000,000 on its qualified receivables. These receivables were sold with recourse. This agreement, along with qualifying accounts receivable, and outstanding advances were transferred to NTN Communications as part of the sale of the Zoom division. The details of this sale are disclosed in note J. Accounts receivable under this agreement as of June 30, 2001 consisted of the following:


Trade accounts receivable $ 302,910
Advanced from factor (142,013)

Non-factored trade accounts receivable $ 160,897

The Company provides for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in the collection of all receivables. The estimated losses are based upon historical collection experience coupled with a review of the current status of all existing receivables.

6. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The components of inventories at June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:


2002 2001

Raw materials $16,585 $ 17,122
Finished goods 2,648 189,280

$19,233 $206,402

7. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives by straight-line and accelerated methods. The equipment under capital leases is being amortized over the term of the leases. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amounts allocated to Zoom, totaled $224,049 and $220,567, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

$ 540,760 $ 845,293

8. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the liability method for computing deferred income taxes.

The Company files its corporate tax returns separately from its wholly-owned United Kingdom subsidiary. The net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes is approximately $3,952,000 and $3,543,000 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The net operating loss carryforward may be utilized in offsetting taxable income generated and expires in periods through 2022.

SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The components of the net deferred tax accounts as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows.


2002 2001
Compensation - related accounts $ 151,000 $ 131,000

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 107 (SFAS 107), Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain items, including receivables, payables, and debt. The Company believes that the amounts disclosed for such amounts within the balance sheets do not differ significantly from fair value as defined in SFAS 107.

10. Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are principally accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and the segments in which its customers operate. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

11. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews projected undiscounted cash flows of the underlying long-lived asset to determine if the assets are impaired. If there is an indication of impairment, the Company records a valuation allowance against the applicable long-lived assets.

During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company determined that impairment losses had occurred related to its investments in certain K.W. Leisure, Ltd. and Multi-Page assets, as described in note A-2, and losses of approximately $487,000 were recognized.

12. Interest

Interest costs are charged to operations as incurred.

13. Research and Development

The company incurs research and development costs on an ongoing basis due to its commitment to continued product enhancement and to develop innovative new products that meet the needs of its customers. Research and development costs, including amounts allocated to Zoom, expensed during the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $39,873 and $88,795, respectively.

14. Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising costs, including amounts allocated to Zoom, totaled $20,600 and $38,390, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

15. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed based upon net earnings (loss) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the assumed issuance of common shares under the Company's stock option plan. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume exercise of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Earnings per share from the gain on the sale of Zoom and the loss on disposal of the discontinued operations of K.W. Leisure, Ltd. are not material to present, and thus are excluded from financial statement presentation.

16. Other Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Other comprehensive income was insignificant for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

17. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

18. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2001 to be consistent with the classifications used for the year ended June 30, 2002.


NOTE B - NOTES PAYABLE


Notes payable consist of the following as of June 30, 2002:

Note payable to certain individuals related to the purchase of the $505,512 Multi-Page assets. The Company is in default on the remaining payment terms for this note. The Company issued 2,000,000 shares on February 1, 2001 with a market value of $69,400 in lieu of certain debt payments. Effective February 2002, the obligation was renegotiated to $100,000 with a $5,000 downpayment.

If the Company defaults on the payments, the original obligation of $518,000 will be due, less any payments made. Due to the present financial condition of the Company, this contingent gain will be recognized upon satisfaction of the recognized obligation.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 4,426,643 shares of stock in lieu of payment for consulting services, which has been recorded at the fair market value of the Company's stock at the time of issuance.

During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of stock in lieu of debt payments at an average share price of $.035 per share. This issuance caused a reduction in debt obligations of approximately $69,400.

Also, during the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 50,000 warrants for its common stock to a supplier at $.75, which expire in five years.


NOTE H - OPERATING SEGMENTS


The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, beginning with the year ended June 30, 2000. This standard requires disclosure of segment information on the same basis used internally for evaluating segment performance and for deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

In previous years, the Company had four reportable operating segments: Games and vending focuses on computerized games and vending machine manufacturing and distribution. Internet application development engages in internet application development and offers gateway e-mail service as well as its WebBox application. Wireless communications which manufactured, serviced, and distributed wireless on-site and wide-area paging systems was disposed of during March 2002 (note J). New Media which was engaged in the creation of graphic design projects ceased operations during the year ended June 30, 2001.

The two remaining reportable operating segments are strategic market units that offer distinct products and services. These segments have been determined based upon the customers and markets served by the Company. Each segment is managed separately due to the different required technologies and marketing strategies. Intersegment transactions that occur are based on current market prices and intersegment profit, if any, has been eliminated in consolidation.

Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reportable segments are based on various factors, including earnings (loss) before taxes.

Concentrations

The Company does not have any individual customers which represent greater than 10% of total sales. The Company does have four vendors that account for 43% of its products purchased.

The Company is in the process of seeking additional capital and/or renegotiating financing, while working to bring the Company's operations to a point of profitability and positive cash flows through increased sales and management of operating expenses.
