(OTC BB:MAKO), announced today that as of April 26, 1999, the Company will change its name to O. Media, Inc. and will have a new trading symbol.

Media, Inc., and a change in the Officers and Directors of the Company. With the addition of the new president, the Company plans to elect Ms. Jayne Newell-Lanza as Chairperson of the Board and Mr. Monte Anderson as Vice-Chairman of the Board. In anticipation of the upcoming shareholders' meeting, Ms. Newell-Lanza stated, ''Mako Capital has evolved to the point where it has become necessary to expand the company's management in order to continue to build our presence on the World Wide Web and publishing world. With the announcement of our new CEO/President on April 26, 1999, Mako Capital will have the management team necessary to put our expansion strategy into full effect.'' Jayne Newell-Lanza has also announced that the Company has retained the public relations firm, The Krantz Group, in New York, to handle the public relations demands of the Company. Ms. Newell-Lanza stated that Profit Magazine's current issue has received explosive interest from the consumer market and increased revenue in advertising. Based on the increase interest for the publishing and communications company, Mako Capital is projecting revenue for the next twelve months to be in excess of $5,000,000.00. Due to the exhibited popularity of the women's only website, www.ShesGotItTogether.com, the Company projects significantly greater revenue than previously expected. Analysts' reports show that women now account for 45% of the more than 50 million Internet users in the United States alone. This is being demonstrated by the popularity of companies such as Yahoo, Inc. (YHOO), iVillage (IVIL), and Amazon.com (AMZN). Internet technology will play an increasingly greater role as we move toward the next millennium.
