Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of 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, 1999 and Form 8-K/A dated January 5, 2000.
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.
Note 2 - Business Combination
On October 22, 1999, Mason Oil Company, Inc. ["Mason Oil'] acquired
substantially all of the assets and operations of Brandmakers, Inc.
("Brandmakers") a closely held Georgia corporation by the issuance of 89,000,000
restricted shares of common stock to Brandmakers' shareholders. To implement
this acquisition of assets, Mason Oil did a spin-off of all assets connected
with its prior business and a reserve for the pending distribution of
approximately $404,000 was recorded at the time of the combination.
For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a reverse
acquisition and as a recapitalization of Brandmakers. The historical financial
statements prior to October 22, 1999 are those of Brandmakers. Pro forma
information giving effect to the acquisition as if the acquisition took place on
July 1, 1999 is not presented, as they would show the same information as
already presented due to the accounting as discussed.
Note 3 - Asset Acquisitions
During March 2000 the Company acquired certain assets of Multi Page
Communications, LLC from Joshua Friedman and Phyllis Zyskind. 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
choice) ten months from the date of acquisition. This acquisition has been
treated as an asset acquisition with the purchase price being allocated to the
fair market value of the assets acquired with any excess allocated to goodwill.
During March 2000 the Company acquired certain assets from K.W.
Machines, Ltd., a British concern, for approximately $640,000, with $320,000
being paid at closing with the remaining $320,000 due in September 2000. The
assets included inventories and fixed assets. This acquisition has been treated
as an asset acquisition with the purchase price being allocated to the fair
market value of the assets acquired with any excess allocated to goodwill.

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 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.
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 NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
Revenue increased 48% to $1,860,554 for the nine months ended March 31,
2000 from $1,256,755 for the comparable 1999 period. This increase in revenues
was largely achieved through the acquisition of Multi-Page Communications. The
Company experienced a net loss of $606,725 for the nine months ended March 31,
2000 in comparison to a net profit of $66,195 for the same period in 1999. The
Company attributes much of this cash drain to its investment in infrastructure,
consisting of its absorption of three acquisitions, namely Splash Media, KW
Machines and KW Leisure of England, and the Multi-Page Communications business.
As a consequence, payroll increased 189% over the previous period with the
addition of 35 new employees. The Company currently has 46 employees, as opposed
to 11 employees at the same time last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used in operating activities - The Company's net cash flow from
operating activities resulted in deficits of $1,426,212 and $29,295 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This deficit was largely the
product of a ramp-up in sales and the resulting need to support this increasing
level of business with a higher investment in inventories, coupled with
increasing accounts receivable and additional marketing expenditures. The Games
and Vending division was responsible for most sales during the 1999 period but a
major change in direction for Gamosity (the present name for the former Games
and Vending division) has resulted in low revenue on a temporary basis as the
company progresses through this transition period. Sales from new lines of
equipment are anticipated to replace and exceed the lost revenue from the former
games product line.
Cash used in investing activities - Consistent with management's plan
to invest in infrastructure, the Company's net cash used in investing activities
for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was $278,754 as compared to net cash
used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of
$19,464.
Cash flow from financing activities - The Company's net cash flow from
financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$1,963,149 from an outflow of $7,608 during the nine months ended March 31,
1999, due primarily to proceeds from investors while the Company was still
private, and subsequently from an increase in private placement proceeds
received during the nine months ended March 31, 2000. During the nine months
ended March 31, 2000, the Company, pursuant to a private placement, netted
$2,333,977 from the private placements. These funds were used to purchase assets
of KW Machines, equipment for the Mailstart division, and for general working
capital purposes.
In spite of the significant investment in infrastructure which has
already been made, the Company believes that additional capital expenditures
will be required to meet the objectives set forth in the Company's business
plan. Negotiations are currently underway with a financing company to establish
an asset based line of credit. The Company believes the revenues which are
projected from operations, supplemented with funds available from the proposed
line of credit, should be sufficient to fund ongoing operations and its business
plan. Notwithstanding, there is no assurance that such anticipated profits, cash
flows, and financing will in fact be sufficient to fund operations and meet the
needs of the Company's business plan.
YEAR 2000
The Company did not experience any significant problems resulting from computer
system and program failures or equipment malfunctions, and suffered no
disruption of business operations.

Private Placement
In October 1999, the Company d/b/a Mason Oil Company, Inc. proposed
through a Private Placement Memorandum to offer for sale 8,000,000 Units, each
Unit consisting of two (2) shares of restricted common stock, par value $.001

one share of restricted common stock at an exercise price of $.50, expiring in
three years. The private placement offering was withdrawn on January 28, 2000,
after selling 3,882,000 Units, consisting of 7,764,000 restricted shares and
2,911,500 restricted warrants resulting in $970,500 in cash flow from this
financing activity.
Beginning in February 2000, Brandmakers proposed through a Private
Placement Memorandum to offer 4,118,000 Units, at $.375 per Unit, each
consisting of two (2) restricted shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share and a 3/4 warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
share of restricted common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per restricted
share, expiring in three years. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
Company sold 3,345,333 Units, consisting of 6,690,667 restricted shares and
2,509,000 restricted warrants resulting in $1,254,500 in cash flow from
financing activity. The proceeds from these offerings was used to finance the
Company's increasing sales volume and to fund general working capital purposes.
