ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis relate to factors which have
affected the financial condition and results of our operations for the years
ended December 31, 2001, and December 31, 2000.
The discussion below takes into account the sale of both subsidiaries,
Gemini Learning Systems, Inc. and Futronix, Inc., as disclosed above, and
discussed further in "Material Events", below.
Discussion of Financial Information
The discussion respecting our financial position utilizes the
audited consolidated financial statements attached to this Report for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
Operating revenues reflect the sale of both Gemini and Futronix,
in that the financial statements reflect that both businesses are
discontinued operations, and not going concerns. On that basis, the Company
had no revenues from ongoing operations in either 2000 or 2001.
General and administrative expenses were $1,631,616 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $1,572,183 for the same period in
2000.
The losses incurred as a result of the operations of Gemini and
Futronix (loss from discontinued operations) was $1,067,046 in the year
ended December 31, 2001, as compared to 2,296,920 in the previous fiscal
year. The Company also incurred losses on the disposal of Gemini and
Futronix in the sum of $1,855,655 in the current fiscal year. The majority
of this is loss is due to the decrease in value of the stock portion of
the consideration for the sale of Futronix to Trident Systems
International, Inc.
The net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was $4,663,750
or ($7.13) per share based on 1,106,503 common shares outstanding, as
compared to a net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 of
$3,929,215, or ($16.79) per share. The net loss for the period is primarily
attributed to the discontinued operations, and the loss recorded on
disposition. Management feels that the Company will be profitable in its
new business and income should improve considerably in fiscal 2002.
On December 31, 2001, the cash and investment certificate position of
the Company was $50.00. Current assets on December 31, 2000 were $515,488.
Material Events
On December 6, 1997, Sloan Electronics, Inc. merged with us to form a
Delaware corporation, continuing under the name, Sloan Electronics, Inc.
During the third quarter 1999, the Company acquired, for stock, Gemini
Learning Systems, Inc., which operated as part of the Internet/technology
division of the company. Gemini Learning Systems, Inc. was sold by the
Company to Haines Avenue, LLC. on September 28, 2001, subject to ratification
of the transaction by the shareholders of the Company. The terms of the sale
were:
1) Haines would retire the convertible debenture it had held, issued on
November 10, 2000, said debenture fully described in the Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 22,
2000 and in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000, said Report filed with the SEC on March 19, 2001.
2) All monies owed to Haines pursuant to the debenture issued by the
Company to Haines in the sum of $600,000 would become a non-recourse loan,
secured solely by the Company's interest in Futronix, Inc., a former
subsidiary of the Company sold on March 19, 2001 to Trident Systems
International, Inc. The transaction and its aftermath are more fully
described in the Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC March 21, 2001 and
May 8, 2001. (See also, Legal Proceedings, above).
3) All conversion privileges associated with the abovementioned debentures
would be extinguished effective September 28, 2001.
4) In the event that the Company merged with another Company, or in the
event that a reverse takeover of the Company occurred, Haines would receive
consideration equal to 18% of the Company's total consideration as a result
of such transaction.
The agreements executed between the parties outlining the terms of the
abovementioned agreement are appended to the Report on Form 10QSB for the
period ended September 30, 2001, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2002.
On Tuesday May 23, 2000, Salient Cybertech, Inc. (the "Company")
executed an agreement whereby it acquired Futronix, Inc. ("Futronix").
The acquisition was accomplished by the Company forming a Delaware subsidiary,
known as Salient Acquisition Corporation, with that corporation merging with
Futronix. The surviving Corporation, continued to carry on business as
Futronix, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction is
more fully described in the Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 25, 2000, with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On March 19, 2001, Futronix was sold to Trident Systems International,
Inc. for the sum of $8,000,000. The transaction involved the transfer of
400,000 restricted shares of Trident's common stock and $800,000 in cash to
Salient in exchange for all outstanding shares of Futronix. The terms of
the transaction were fully disclosed in a Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2001, and said Report is
incorporated herein by reference.
The former owners of Futronix, Inc. have asserted a claim that the
transaction is void as no transaction involving Futronix may take place
without the approval of the former owners of Futronix, Inc., Rande Newberry
and Nevin Jenkins. Newberry and Jenkins also claim that they have the right
to rescind the original purchase of Futronix by the Company, and that they
have exercised that right.
BrandAid has commenced action in Florida Circuit Court for a declaratory
Judgment stating that BrandAid owned Futronix at all material times, and the
sale of Futronix was a valid sale.
In December, 2001, our shares were reverse split, with one share being
issued for every 20 shares currently held. The name of the Company was
changed to BrandAid Marketing Corporation and the trading symbol changed to
BAMK on December 24, 2001.

______________
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The primary objectives of the Company's executive compensation structure are
to maintain executive compensation at competitive levels to retain qualified
personnel and to reward individuals for their respective contributions to the
Company's success. Bonuses may be granted in order to reward and acknowledge
employees for, among other things, individual initiative and achievement. A
number of factors are considered in determining compensation of executives,
such as historical financial results, anticipated revenues and earnings for
the next fiscal year, individual contributions to, and length of service
with, the Company, compensation levels at other companies (both within and
outside the Company's industry), and equity and fairness within the top
levels of management. Decisions on executive officer compensation are,
however, primarily subjective. No predetermined weight is generally assigned
to any of the factors mentioned above. A guideline in determining bonus
compensation for division presidents and other designated executive officers
has historically been the achievement of budgeted sales and earnings levels,
but no other specific corporate performance related targets are otherwise
used and the achievement of such goals is not, in all cases, determinative
of whether an executive officer will receive bonus compensation or the
amount of such compensation.

Sarasota, Florida
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BrandAid
Marketing Corporation, formerly Salient Cybertech, Inc., as of December
31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000. 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 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
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, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the financial
position of BrandAid Marketing Corporation, formerly Salient Cybertech, Inc.,
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and the results of their
operations and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note J to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described
in Note J. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FORMERLY SALIENT CYBERTECH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
BrandAid Marketing Corporation formerly Salient Cybertech, Inc. (the
"Company") was incorporated on July 31, 1996 in the State of Delaware
as MAS Acquisition I Corp. ("MAS"), to engage in any lawful corporate
undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and
acquisitions. On December 5, 1997, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement
of Merger (the "Agreement") between MAS and Sloan Electronics, Inc. ("Sloan
Electronics"), Sloan Electronics merged into MAS and MAS changed its name to
Sloan Electronics, Inc.
In September 1999, the Company acquired Gemini Learning Systems, Inc.
("Gemini"). Gemini which was incorporated under the laws of the Canadian
Province of Alberta in June 1990 is a software applications development
company, specializing in distance education and training solutions. The
company created and marketed software technology. In September 2001, Gemini
was sold to a bondholder in exchange for release of $1,000,000 of the total
$1,600,015 advanced to the Company (see Note H). The recorded investment in
Gemini at the time of the disposition was $(209,909) resulting in a gain of
$1,209,909.
In May 2000, the Company acquired Futronix, Inc. ("Futronix"). Established
in 1989, Futronix is an ISO 9002-certified consignment and turnkey contract
electronics manufacturer. Futronix provides engineering, design, production
and in-circuit testing services, as well as full turnkey box building
manufacturing for both consumer products and commercial applications. The
Company has customers throughout the United States. In March 2001, the
Company entered into an agreement to dispose of Futronix. It was sold to an
unrelated company. Subsequent to this agreement Futronix has contended that
the original acquisition by Brandaid Marketing Corporation of the company
was never completed and therefore could not be sold. The matter is currently
in litigation. The recorded investment in Futronix at the time of the sale
was $3,138,409. The consideration for the sale was to be $800,000 cash and
stock of the purchasing company. As of the date of the financial statements
the Company had received $40,000 in cash and no stock. The value of the
stock is minimal. The Company has transferred any remaining interest in
Futronix to a debenture holder in exchange for amendment to the debenture
(see Note I). The loss on the sale of Futronix has been recorded as
$3,098,409.
In December 2001, the Company purchased assets from Brandaid Communications
Corporation. These assets consisted of marketing contracts and fixed assets.
The consideration for the purchase of the assets was 401,008 shares of the
Company stock with a market value of $430,912. As of December 31, 2001
the shares had not yet been issued (see Note H).
Revenue and Expense Recognition
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual accounting
basis. Consequently, certain revenue and related assets are recognized when
earned rather than when received, and certain expenses are recognized when
the obligation is incurred or the asset consumed, rather than when paid.
BRANDAID MARKETING CORPORATION
FORMERLY SALIENT CYBERTECH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, through the date of
disposition. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
The Company has determined a bad debt reserve is not required against its
accounts receivable.
Equipment
Equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is computed
principally by the straight-line method. Estimated useful life for
financial reporting purposes is as follows:
Equipment 5 years
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash
equivalents as those amounts which are not subject to restrictions or
penalties and have an original maturity of three months or less. The
Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2001 or 2000.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
Dilutive earnings per share are not shown, as the computation is considered
anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Income taxes would be provided using the liability method in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Advertising Expense
The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.
BRANDAID MARKETING CORPORATION
FORMERLY SALIENT CYBERTECH, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock Based Income
The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees
with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of
grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related
Interpretations because the alternative fair value accounting provided for
under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
(FAS 123) requires the use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense
is recognized.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the 2000 financial statements
presentation in order to conform to the 2001 financial statements
presentation.
NOTE B - MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On May 24, 2000, the Company acquired certain assets and the business of
Futronix, Inc., a manufacturer of electronic products, with a value of
approximately $3.2 million, which was funded through the issuance of common
and preferred stock. As of the financial statement date, the preferred stock
of 5,500 shares with a stated value and a liquidating preference of $1,000
per share had not been authorized or issued. The stock has a common stock
conversion feature, the number of shares issued upon conversion to be
determined based on the former Futronix Inc's operations attaining specified
gross revenue levels and the market price of the Company's common stock at
the time of conversion. There are also provisions for the issuance of
additional common shares to the former Futronix shareholders if the sale of
the common stock received upon conversion of the preferred stock does not
generate proceeds which exceed certain levels. The operations of Futronix,
Inc. are included in the consolidated statements of income from the date of
acquisition through the date of disposition.
In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to dispose of
Futronix. (See Note A) It was sold to an unrelated company. Subsequent to
this agreement Futronix has contended that the original acquisition by
Brandaid of the company was never completed and that they could not be sold.
The matter is currently in litigation. The recorded investment in Futronix
at the time of the sale was $3,138,409. The consideration for the sale was
to be $800,000 cash and stock of the purchasing company. As of the date of
the financial statements the Company had received $40,000 in cash and no
stock. The current value of the stock is minimal. It is not believed that
there will be additional consideration received. The loss on the sale of
Futronix has been recorded as $3,098,409.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE B - MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
On September 24, 1999, the Company purchased a Canadian corporation, Gemini
Learning Systems, Inc. ("Gemini"). The purchase price was two million
shares of common stock in the Company paid at closing. An additional 50,000
shares of stock, which was not subject to any stock split, was made available
to reward key employees of Gemini. The transaction was accounted for as
a purchase and the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets acquired
was being amortized over 36 months.
In September 2001, Gemini was sold to a bondholder in exchange for release
of $1,000,000 of the total $1,600,015 advanced to the Company. (See Note A)
The recorded investment in Gemini at the time of the disposition was
$(209,909) resulting in a gain of $1,209,909.

calculated using an effective income tax rate of 37%. The Company has no
significant differences between book and taxable income.

NOTE H - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
In December 2001, the board of directors approved a one to twenty reverse
stock split. All share amounts noted in the financial statements have been
adjusted for the effect of the reverse split.
In May 1999, the board of directors approved changing the certificate of
incorporation to authorize 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. It then
issued 20 preferred shares to two key employees. Each of the twenty shares
of preferred stock was convertible to 1,500,000 shares of common stock
at the option of the holder of the preferred stock. The conversion of 10
shares, however, is subject to permission of the Company's Chairman. During
the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company's Chairman exercised the
preferred stock conversion feature and converted six preferred shares to
450,000 common shares. Shares converted prior to December 24, 2001 were
subject to the one for twenty reverse split. The remaining 14 shares will
each convert to 1.5 million shares.

does not believe the resolution of these various lawsuits will result in
any material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

previously reported should have been recorded as additional paid-in capital.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE I - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
In September 2001, the Company transferred the Gemini stock to the debenture
holder in exchange for cancellation of the November 2000 debenture. The
November debenture was held in escrow for ninety-five days following the
Gemini closing. After that date, if Brandaid Marketing Corporation had not
filed for bankruptcy, and if no claims had been made by either party calling
into question the validity of the Gemini transaction, then the debenture
would be canceled. The debenture was canceled December 2001. In addition,
the following amendments were made to the March debenture: 1) all rights
were waived to convert the debenture into common stock 2) the Company's
obligations to pay amounts due under the March debenture are non recourse
to the Company, but will be paid only out of the Futronix, Inc interests
(see Notes A and B) 3) right to demand payment under the Mach debenture is
waived until the earlier of June 30, 2002, the resolution of the Futronix,
Inc. lawsuit (see Notes A and B), receipt of Trident consideration, any
default by the Company under the Transaction Agreement, or any default or
breach by the Company. In consideration of the changes to the March
debenture, the following agreements were reached. The Company will prosecute
the Futronix litigation at the Company's sole cost and expense. If the
proceeds of the Futronix litigation realized by the Company exceed the then
accrued amount of the obligation, the Company will pay fifty percent of the
excess to the debenture holder. If the proceeds of the Futronix litigation
do not equal the accrued amount of the obligation, the debenture holder will
be entitled to eighteen percent of the assets received by the Company if the
Company is sold or merged with another entity. The proceeds of the Futronix
litigation will be determined when the litigation is resolved, by settlement,
decision or abandonment, but in no case any later than March 2003, or one
year from the consummation of sale or merger of the Company. The debenture
holder has piggy back registration rights with respect to eighteen percent
of any shares received if the Company is merged or sold. The Company is
obligated to take all steps required to enable the debenture holder to sell
its shares under SEC Rule 144 up to the maximum number of shares contemplated
by such rule.
