NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2002
included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that
these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the June 30,
2002 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Custom Branded Networks, Inc. (the "Company") engages in the business of
providing turnkey private label internet services to organizations throughout
the domestic United States and Canada. The Company plans to provide wholesale
internet access service acting as the internet service provider ("ISP") through
its relationships with other ISPs who will provide the service for the Company
and perform the billing services directly to the customer. Currently, the
Company has one ISP relationship in place for dial-up modem service. The
Company also provides the customer set-up, and the branded compact disc with the
customer's unique content and packaging. The Company is considered a
development stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7. The Company has not commenced planned principal operations.
i) Going Concern
The Company has generated limited operating revenues and it has used cash in its
operations since its inception, thereby generating operating losses. Such
losses are due primarily to the Company's efforts to develop and promote its
products and services, which efforts include internal staffing, travel and other
promotional expenses. The Company has signed up certain customers but
deployment on the ISP's network has not occurred. Management expects deployment
to occur in the near future. The Company plans to continue to focus on
deployment and acquiring customers, which will require additional expenditures
for operating costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully deploy customers, be successful in raising sufficient funds for its
operations, or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from its
operations. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
on its ability to raise additional amounts of capital.

2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
ii) Acquisition of Custom Branded Networks, Inc. and Name Change
On February 2, 2001, the shareholders of the Company, formerly known as Aquistar
Ventures (USA) Inc. ("Aquistar"), a Nevada corporation, approved an agreement
and plan of reorganization (the "reorganization") involving the acquisition of
Custom Branded Networks, Inc. ("Custom Branded"), a Delaware corporation, and
the change of the name Aquistar to Custom Branded.
As a consequence of the implementation of the reorganization, the following
occurred:
a) The Company acquired all the shares of Custom Branded in exchange for the
issue of 25,000,000 shares of the Company to the former shareholders of
Custom Branded.
b) The Company changed its name from Aquistar to Custom Branded Networks, Inc.
As a result of the reorganization, the former shareholders of Custom
Branded hold 61.8% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
iii) Reverse Take-Over
Effective February 2, 2001, Aquistar Ventures (USA) Inc. ("Aquistar") acquired
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Custom Branded Networks, Inc.
("Custom Branded") by issuing 25,000,000 common shares. Since the transaction
resulted in the former shareholders of Custom Branded owning the majority of the
issued shares of Aquistar, the transaction, which is referred to as a "reverse
take-over", has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Custom
Branded of the net assets and liabilities of Aquistar. Under this purchase
method of accounting, the results of operations of Aquistar are included in
these financial statements from February 2, 2001.
Control of the net assets of Aquistar was acquired for the total consideration
of $15,228 representing the fair value of the assets of Aquistar. Custom
Branded is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its
net assets are included in the balance sheet at their previously recorded
values.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the
significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Custom Branded Networks, Inc. (a Nevada corporation).
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's best
estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.
c) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized at the following rates:
Office equipment - 20% declining balance basis
Computer equipment - 3 years straight line basis
d) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires the use of an
asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income
taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion of all of a deferred tax
asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e) Revenue Recognition
Revenues will consist of recurring monthly fees from internet access and from
set-up fees. Subscriber contract terms vary by customer, although, the monthly
internet access fees are generally paid by the subscriber at the beginning of
the month. Subscribers canceling service are not entitled to receive funds of
the monthly access fee per the service contract, unless it is prepaid for future
periods. Revenues for monthly internet access fees are earned and recognized
when received for the current month. Internet access fees prepaid for future
months are deferred until the beginning of the service month. Revenues for
set-up fees are recognized once the customer is deployed and internet access
service is active. Customers are entitled to refunds of set-up fees if
deployment does not occur.
f) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that this Company is not
exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
g) Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 -
"Earnings Per Share". Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic loss per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding
during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common and potentially dilative common stock outstanding
during the period. As the Company generated net losses in each of the periods
presented, the basic and diluted net loss per share is the same as any exercise
of options or warrants would anti-dilutive.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company reviews long-lived assets and including identifiable intangibles for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
i) New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 141 - "Business Combinations". The Statement requires that all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No. 141
will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 - "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". The Statement will require discontinuing the amortization of goodwill
and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, these assets
will be tested periodically for impairment and written down to their fair market
value as necessary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No. 142
will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 - "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. FASB No. 144 addresses accounting and reporting of
long-lived assets, except goodwill, that are either held and used or disposed of
through sale or other means. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No.
144 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 31, 2002, the Company executed $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of convertible notes due not earlier than January 31, 2009. The Company has
received $817,569 in advances through to September 30, 2002. The notes bear no
interest until the maturity date, and interest at 5% per annum on any remaining
principal balance after the maturity date. The notes are convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, and each
converted share includes a warrant to purchase an additional common stock share
at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The warrants expire three years from
the grant day.
Because the market interest rate on similar types of notes was approximately 14%
per annum the day the notes were issued, the Company has recorded a discount of
$520,962 related to the beneficial conversion feature. The discount will be
amortized as interest expense over the life of the convertible notes, or sooner
upon conversion. During the first quarter, the Company recorded interest
expense of $11,298.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements
regarding the Company's capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should",
"expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict",
"potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable
terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these
statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined
below, and, from time to time, in other reports the Company files with the SEC.
These factors may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
any forward-looking statement. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly
update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results
and those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
At September 30, 2002, the Company had cash of $902. To sustain the business
operations of the Company, it is necessary for the Company to raise capital in
the immediate future. The Company's current plans are to borrow money as needed
to sustain current operations. Since inception, the Company has executed
$1,000,000 in the aggregate principal amount of convertible notes. The Company
has received $817,569 in advances against the notes through September 30, 2002.
The Company hopes to obtain additional advances against the notes in order to
sustain the business operations of the Company. However, the holder of the
notes is not obligated to fund the notes further and may not be willing to do
so, in which event the Company will need to obtain funding from some other
source.
The business plan of the Company calls for the Company to provide turnkey
private label Internet solutions to businesses and private organizations that
desire to affiliate with a customer base via the Internet. Our business,
however, has not developed as rapidly as we had originally anticipated. To
date, we have signed up one customer and the deployment of the Internet services
for this customer has not occurred as of yet. It is uncertain at the present
time whether we will be able to develop our current business plan to commercial
viability.
If our business prospects become more promising than at the present time, we
will attempt to raise operating capital through the sale of equity capital.
Operational expenses are incurred primarily due to the Company's efforts to
develop and to promote its products and services, which efforts include internal
staffing, travel and other promotional expenses. During the three month period
ended September 30, 2002, we incurred operating expenses of $358.00 which
demonstrates the low level of our current business activity. This figure,
however, does not include the time spent by our president in marketing the
products and services of the Company for which he was not compensated.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within the 90 days prior
to the filing date of this report. This evaluation was carried out under the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. John Platt. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material
information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed our reports filed
or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
