Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

The financial statements included herein for the periods ended March 31, 2002
and 2003 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments have been made which are of a normal recurring
nature necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position as of March
31, 2003, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2003. Certain information and footnote disclosures
have been condensed or omitted for these periods. The results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Reference is made to the notes to the consolidated financial statements
contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1. Organization and Business

Brand Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Brand) are 100% owned
by Brand Holdings LLC (the LLC). As of March 31, 2003, the voting equity
interests of the LLC are owned 76.7% by J.P. Morgan Partners and its affiliates
(JPMP) and 23.3% by other equity investors on a fully diluted basis. Brand
Services, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brand Intermediate Holdings,
Inc. All references to the Company, we, us, or our mean Brand
Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Prior to October 16, 2002, Brand Services, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary
of DLJ Brand Holdings, Inc. (DLJ Brand or the Predecessor company). On
October 16, 2002, DLJ Brand merged with Brand Acquisition Corp., which was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the LLC, and was renamed Brand Intermediate
Holdings, Inc. The preceding events are referred to as the Transaction.

The information as of December 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March
31, 2003 may not be directly comparable to the information provided related to
the Predecessor company as a result of the effect of the revaluation of assets
and liabilities to their estimated fair market values in accordance with the
application of purchase accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations.

The Company operates in one segment and provides scaffolding services primarily
to refining, petrochemical, chemical, utility and pulp and paper industries,
and to a lesser extent general commercial clients. Scaffolding services are
typically provided in connection with periodic, routine maintenance of
refineries, chemical plants and utilities, as well as for new construction
and renovation projects. The Company provides personnel to erect and dismantle
scaffolding structures, transport scaffolding to project sites and supervise
and manage such activities. In addition, the Company rents and occasionally
sells scaffolding that is classified as property

and equipment on the
consolidated balance sheets. The Company maintains a substantial inventory of
scaffolding in the United States and Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis and
include those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable
to the operations of the Company. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent 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 those estimates.

3. Accrued Revenue

Accrued revenue represents work performed which either due to contract
stipulations or lacking contractual documentation requirements, could not be
billed. Substantially all unbilled amounts are expected to be billed and
collected within one year.

4. Debt and Borrowing Arrangements

At December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, long-term debt consisted of the
following (in thousands):

5. Deferred Revenue

##### Table of Contents



Deferred revenue represents amounts collected from customers at a faster rate
than work was performed on these contracts. Substantially all of the costs
related to these amounts will be incurred within one year.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved
in various pending claims and lawsuits. These primarily relate to employee
matters. The outcome of these matters is not presently determinable. However,
in the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the
resolution of these matters is not anticipated to have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

7. Comprehensive Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, comprehensive income was
$8.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company reduced the valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets by $7.6 million and recorded an income tax
provision of $5.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was reduced to $0 as the Company
determined that it was more likely than not that all deferred tax assets would
be realized based upon current operating results and anticipated operating
results for future periods. The effective tax rate of 40.2% is greater than
the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The following table provides a summary of
the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and 2003:

10. New Accounting Standards

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the
existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees
such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a
company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for
the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual
financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002, regardless of the guarantors fiscal year-end. The
disclosure requirements in the Interpretation are effective for financial
statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. FASB
Interpretation 45 was implemented in the fourth quarter 2002. The adoption of
this FASB Interpretation did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements and disclosures of the Company.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.
This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements
of Statement 123 to require disclosures in both annual and interim financial
statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation
and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 was adopted
by the Company on January 1, 2003, with no material impact on the results of
operations of the Company.

11. Supplemental Consolidating Information

and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated, joint, and several
basis by the other domestic subsidiaries of Brand Intermediate Holdings (which

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q of Brand Intermediate Holdings, Inc.
and subsidiaries (the Company) contain forward looking statements that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause
actual results, performance, achievements of the Company, or industry results,
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors
include, but are not limited to, the competitive environment in the industrial
and commercial scaffolding industry in general and in the Companys specific
market areas; changes in prevailing interest rates and the availability of and
terms of financing to fund the anticipated growth of the Companys business;
inflation; changes in costs of goods and services; economic conditions in
general and in the Companys specific market areas; demographic changes;
changes in or failure to comply with federal, state and/or local government
regulations; liability and other claims asserted against the Company; changes
in operating strategy or development plans; the ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel; the significant indebtedness of the Company; labor
disturbances; changes in the Companys acquisition and capital expenditure
plans; and other factors referenced herein. The forward looking statements
contained herein reflect the Companys current beliefs and specific assumptions
with respect to future business decisions and are based on information
currently available. Accordingly, the statements are subject to significant
risks, uncertainties and contingencies, which could cause the Companys actual
operating results, performance or business prospects to differ from those
expressed in, or implied by, these statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Overview

The Company is the largest North American provider of industrial scaffolding
services which facilitate access to tall structures for maintenance,
turnarounds and capital projects, principally in the refining, petrochemical,
chemical, utility and pulp and paper industries. The Company provides turnkey
services, which include equipment rental, labor for the erection and
dismantlement of the scaffolding and scaffolding design services. The Company
also provides scaffolding services to the commercial market (primarily
nonresidential construction and renovation) and sells a small amount of
scaffolding.

The Company typically provides on-going maintenance services under long-term
contracts; the duration of these contracts is usually one to five years.
Turnarounds occur every one to four years depending on the industry and the
type of turnaround being performed. Although some turnarounds may be postponed
for a period of time, they are a necessary component of maintaining industrial
facilities and are required to ensure the safe and efficient operation of such
facilities. While

##### Table of Contents



the postponement of scheduled turnarounds causes fluctuations in the Companys
quarterly and annual results, the Company believes the necessity for on-going
maintenance and turnarounds provides a stable, recurring revenue base.

The Companys business is seasonal. End-use industries such as the refining
and utility industries experience increased demand for their products during
the summer months. Consequently, turnarounds are generally scheduled during
the first and fourth quarters of the year.

Brand Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Brand) are 100% owned
by Brand Holdings LLC (the LLC). As of March 31, 2003, the voting equity
interests of the LLC are owned 76.7% by J.P. Morgan Partners and its affiliates
(JPMP) and 23.3% by other equity investors on a fully diluted basis. Brand
Services, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brand Intermediate Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Prior to October 16, 2002, Brand Services, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary
of DLJ Brand Holdings, Inc. (DLJ Brand or the Predecessor company). On
October 16, 2002, DLJ Brand merged with Brand Acquisition Corp., which was a
wholly owned subsidiary of the LLC, and was renamed Brand Intermediate
Holdings, Inc. The preceding events are referred to as the Transaction.

The information as of December 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March
31, 2003, may not be directly comparable to the information provided related to
the Predecessor company as a result of the effect of the revaluation of assets
and liabilities to their estimated fair market values in accordance with the
application of purchase accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations.

Results of Operations

Revenue  Total revenue increased by 3.4%, from $95.0 million to $98.2 million,
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2002. Labor revenues increased by $4.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002,
offset by decreases in equipment rental revenue and equipment sales revenue of
$0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The revenue mix has shifted more
towards labor from equipment rental due to several new contracts in 2003 that
contain primarily labor revenue. In addition, we continue to experience strong
revenues in the utility sector of our business, where labor comprises a
significant part of total revenue.

Gross Profit  Gross profit decreased by $4.8 million, or 19.6%, for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2002. The percentage of labor gross profit to labor revenue decreased to 17.8%
from 19.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This decline is mostly due to year-over-year
increases in insurance premiums and increased refinery maintenance work with
lower margins than the prior year. Equipment rental gross profit decreased by
$4.2 million in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of
2002.

##### Table of Contents



This decrease is mostly due to an increase in depreciation expense of $3.9
million from 2002 to 2003 due to the revaluation of our property and equipment
in connection with the Transaction in October 2002. The decrease in equipment
sales gross profit is due to the decrease in equipment sales revenue.

Selling and administrative expenses
 Selling and administrative expenses
increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is due to the
amortization of the customer relationships intangible asset of $1.1 million
that began in connection with the Transaction, an increase in depreciation
expense of $0.3 million due to the revaluation of our property and equipment in
connection with the Transaction and an increase in payroll expense of $0.4
million.

Operating income  As a result of the above events, operating income decreased
by $6.6 million, or 44.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002.

Interest expense  Interest expense increased by $3.0 million from the first
quarter of 2002 to the first quarter of 2003 due to higher debt levels as a
result of the Transaction.

Accretion of preferred stock dividends
of subsidiary  Prior to the
Transaction, accretion of preferred stock dividends of subsidiary represented
dividends accreted on our subsidiarys 14.5% Senior Exchangeable Preferred
Stock (the Old Preferred Stock). The Old Preferred Stock was redeemed and
paid in full in connection with the Transaction.

Income tax provision   The income tax provision of $76 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003, represents an effective rate of 40.2%, which is greater
than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically utilized internal cash flow from operations and
borrowings under its credit facility to fund its operations, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2002 and
March 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $35.9 million and $45.1
million and cash of $4.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

One of the Companys major uses of cash is capital expenditures. The Companys
capital expenditure requirements are comprised of maintenance and expansion
expenditures. The Companys maintenance capital expenditure requirements are
generally for scaffolding planks and other items used in the business, such as
trucks and equipment. Expansion capital expenditures are for new scaffolding
and vehicles, are discretionary and vary annually based on the Companys level
of scaffolding rental activity and managements growth expectations. During the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, capital expenditures were $5.3
million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Our new Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) provides for $130.0 million of
term loans, a $50.0 million revolving loan facility and a $20.0 million letter
of credit facility. Up to $20.0 million of the $50.0 million revolving loan
facility may be used for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2003, the Company
had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and had total
outstanding letters of credit of $30.6 million.

The interest rate on the $130.0 million of term loans under the Credit Facility
is variable. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the weighted average
interest rate on the term loans was 5.4%.

We are required to make semi-annual interest payments on our 12%, $150.0
million Senior Subordinated Notes in the amount of $9.0 million in April and
October of every year until the Senior Notes mature in October 2012. We are
also required to make quarterly interest payments on loans under our Credit
Facility, which bears interest at a floating rate based upon either the base
rate (as defined in our credit agreement, for base rate loans) or the LIBOR
rate (for LIBOR loans) plus a spread of 2.5% to 4.0%, depending on the ratio of
our consolidated debt to EBITDA. As of March 31, 2003, the interest rate on our
term loans was 5.3%. We are not required to make interest payments on our 13%,
$35.0 million Intermediate Notes, as these notes are pay-in-kind notes.

The Credit Facility requires financial and operating covenants, including among
other things, that the Company maintain certain financial ratios, and imposes
limitations on the Companys ability to make capital expenditures, to incur
indebtedness, and to pay dividends. The Company was in compliance with all loan
covenants at March 31, 2003.

A summary of the sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and 2003, follows:

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies as discussed below require the application
of significant judgement by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions
for calculating amounts to record in our financial statements. By their nature,
these judgements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis
of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes also include net operating
loss carryforwards primarily due to the accelerated depreciation of our
scaffolding equipment over book depreciation. We regularly review our deferred
income tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance when
it is more likely than not such assets will not be recovered, taking into
consideration historical net income (losses), projected future income (losses)
and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. As
of December 31, 2001, we had a valuation allowance of $7.6 million. During the
three months ended March 31, 2002, the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets was reduced to $0 as we determined that it is more likely than not that
all deferred tax assets would be realized based upon year-to-date operating
results and anticipated operating results of future periods.

As part of our ongoing business, we make payments for workers compensation and
health benefit claims. We have purchased insurance coverage for large claims.
Our workers compensation and health benefit liabilities are developed using
actuarial methods based upon historical data for payment patterns, cost trends,
utilization of healthcare services and other relevant factors. While we believe
our liabilities for workers compensation, general liability, automobile, and
health benefit claims of $14.1 million as of March 31, 2003, are adequate and
that the judgement applied is appropriate, such estimated liabilities could
differ materially from what will actually transpire in the future.

Other Data

EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and accretion of preferred stock dividends of subsidiary. We
present EBITDA because management believes it provides useful information
regarding a companys ability to service and/or incur debt and is used by some
investors,

analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. Our management uses
EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, to allocate resources and capital
to our business operations and as a measure of performance for incentive
compensation purposes. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the
period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to operating income as an
indicator of operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for measures of performance, profitability or liquidity
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Our method for calculating EBITDA may not be comparable to
methods used by other companies. A reconciliation of pretax income under
generally accepted accounting principles to EBITDA follows:

New Accounting Standards

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The Interpretation elaborates on the
existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees
such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a
company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for
the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual
financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002, regardless of the guarantors fiscal year-end. The
disclosure requirements in the Interpretation are effective for financial
statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. FASB
Interpretation 45 was implemented in the fourth quarter 2002. The adoption of
this FASB Interpretation did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements and disclosures of the Company.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.
This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements
of Statement 123 to require disclosures in both annual and interim

financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No.
148 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2003, with no material impact on
the results of operations of the Company.




ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

5.     The registrants other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation, to the registrants auditors and the Companys Board of
Directors:



| | (a) |  | all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
internal controls which could adversely affect the registrants
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and

|
| | (b) |  | any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrants internal controls; and
