In November 1998, as a result of shareholder action the Company was renamed eSynch Corporation from Innovus Corporation. A predecessor company, Intermark Corporation ("Intermark") was reorganized into Innovus Corporation in August 1998. In November 1998, eSynch acquired SoftKat Inc. ("SoftKat"). In May 1999, SoftKat was sold to a third-party. On April 1, 1999, eSynch acquired Kiss Software Corporation ("Kissco") and on September 20, 1999, eSynch acquired Oxford Media Corporation ("Oxford"). eSynch designs, develops, markets and supports intelligent digital media solutions and services, including media rights management, audio and video encryption, delivery, tracking and measurement tools, and streaming media services. The Company has developed a suite of software and related components designed for the delivery of live and on-demand audio and video through cable, satellite and the Internet. The Company provides turnkey solutions, offering services necessary to provide secure streaming media including software development and implementation of e-commerce applications, production, encoding, decoding and encryption, client-side metrics, reporting, content management, pay-per-view streaming, hosting and archiving. The Company's software helps businesses deliver high-quality video content to their customers. The Company also develops PC utility products, primarily for the Internet user. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eSynch for all periods presented and the accounting of its subsidiaries from the dates of their acquisition. All inter-company transactions and balances 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 in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company and are not audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and consist only of normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed herein. The financial position and results of operations presented in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be generated for the remainder of 2001. These financial statements have been condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in connection with annual financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB dated December 31, 2000. 6 BUSINESS CONDITION - The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern. The Company has a $4,202,072 working capital deficit at June 30, 2001, has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and has accumulated a deficit at June 30, 2001 in the amount of $47,981,755. Management's plan to mitigate the impact of these conditions is to obtain additional equity financing through the issuance of the Company's common stock, convertible preferred stock or warrants. However, realization of the proceeds from these potential transactions is not assured. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. CONCENTRATION OF RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS - The Company operates exclusively in the software industry, accordingly, segment information relating to operations in different industries is not presented in these financial statements. The concentration of business in the highly competitive software industry subjects the Company to concentrated market risk. Sales to any major customer in 2001 and 2000 were not significant. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The amounts reported as cash, accounts payable, notes payable, and liabilities relating to assets to be sold are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values. The fair value estimates were based on market information available to management at the time of the preparation of the financial statements. LOSS PER SHARE - The Company computes basic and diluted loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated to give effect to stock warrants, options and convertible notes payable except during loss periods when those potentially issuable common shares would decrease the loss per share. There were 21,859,056 and 3,760,839 potentially issuable common shares outstanding at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as they would have decreased the loss per share. REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes service revenue upon performance of the service. For software products sold by the Company, revenue is recognized when delivered except for products sold through distributors for which revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These pronouncements significantly change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and intangible assets. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. 7 The requirements of SFAS No. 141 are effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 states goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, companies are required to adopt the pronouncement in their fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company expects to adopt these standards during the year ended December 31, 2001 and management does not estimate that these statements will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. NOTE 2--NOTES RECEIVABLE Notes receivable includes $250,085 loaned to Streamedia Communications Inc. during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The amounts were loaned under an assumed merger. The loans bear interest at 10% and were due on May 21, 2001. The loan is collateralized by 913,687 shares of Streamedia Communications, Inc. common stock. Management is reviewing the options available with respect to collection of monies due. Notes receivable includes an outstanding balance of $250,000 for loans to eLiberation.com Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2000. The loans were made in anticipation of a planned merger which was never consummated and are collateralized by a UCC-1 Financing Statement filed with the California Secretary of State. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company received approximately $250,000, net legal expenses from eLiberation.com on this receivable. NOTE 3--ACCRUED LIABILITIES The preacquisition liabilities are a reserve for potential liabilities assumed at the time of the acquisition of Innovus and Intermark. During the three months ended June 30, 2001 the Company wrote off $285,656 of these preacquisition liabilities due to the expiration of legal obligations which has been included in general and administrative expenses. NOTE 4--NOTES PAYABLE RELATED PARTY Notes payable - related party includes $450,000 loaned to the Company by a director during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. On January 10, 2001, the terms for repayment were restated from due on demand to due on twenty days written notice.

No Secured Convertible Debentures were outstanding at June 30, 2001. NOTE 7--STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS The Company has issued stock options to employees and consultants under a stock-based compensation plan and under individual contracts. Under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by the shareholders in November 1999, the Company may grant options to its employees and consultants for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. In limited cases, the exercise price of options granted under the plan and some individual contracts may be below the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest from immediately to over three years and are exercisable for up to five to ten years. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock were exercised for $4,500 and holders of warrants issued in conjunction with the Secured Convertible Debenture converted the warrants for 312,500 common shares for a net cash consideration of $81,900. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company modified the exercise price of the warrants for 312,500 resulting an additional charge of $20,344 to operations. Options for 100,000 shares expired or were cancelled during the period. 9 OPTIONS AND WARRANTS GRANTED TO NON-EMPLOYEES - During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with an investment of $325,000 for which 1,300,000 shares of common stock were also issued. The warrants were valued at $30,870 using the black scholes method and expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2001.

The Company acquired $38,727 of computer equipment under a capital lease during the three months ended June 30, 2001. NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION - In September, 1999 a lawsuit was filed by C-Group, Inc. in United States District Court, District of Maryland, against Intermark seeking $99,110 for goods that were claimed to be purchased by Intermark. In October, 1999, the plaintiff amended the complaint and reduced the amount of the claim to $81,326. In March 2001 a judgment was entered against Intermark in the amount of $133,658 related to the claim against Intermark which included $52,332 related to a claim against Softkat. The Company was not properly notified and the judgment will be appealed. As of December 31, 2000 the Company accrued $81,326. During the three months ended June 30, 2001 the Company accrued the remaining $52,332. In June 2000, the Company was named as a co-defendant along with its landlord, Bixby Land Company, in a lawsuit filed by Terry Murphy, a former employee, in California Superior Court, County of Orange, claiming unspecified damages resulting from an accident that occurred at the Company's leased offices. Subsequently, Bixby filed a cross-complaint against the Company related to the lawsuit seeking indemnity, equitable contribution and declaratory relief. The Company's insurance carriers are defending the claims against the Company and discovery proceedings are currently underway. On January 11, 2001, the Company was named as defendant in a lawsuit filed by Post Modern Edit, LLC, in California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, seeking damages of not less than $50,000 for breach of a confidentiality agreement, breach of contract, and other claims related to a proposed but unconsummated acquisition of Post Modern Edit by the Company. On May 9, 2001, the parties reached a full settlement of the litigation in which Post Modern Edit agreed to return 21,000 shares of the Company's common stock it owned in exchange for $6,300 cash paid by the Company. This case is now closed. On April 3, 2001, a lawsuit was filed by BFree Ltd. in Superior Court, County of Orange, California, against the Company as successor to Innovus Corporation, seeking $25,544 for goods and services claimed to have been provided to Innovus during 1997. The matter is scheduled for mandatory settlement conference and trial in early 2002. The claim is included in preacquisition liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. 10 On July 18, 2001, David P. Noyes, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, filed a claim with the Labor Commissioner, State of California, for wages due under an employment contract seeking $96,572.98. Mr. Noyes was terminated for cause by the Company in November 2000. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claim. On July 26, 2001, Bixby Land Company, the Company's landlord, filed an unlawful detainer action to recover delinquent rent and penalties in the amount of approximately $125,000. The Company and Bixby are negotiating a settlement under which the Company would pay all delinquent amounts and be relieved of its long-term lease obligations. On July 27, 2001, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with Digital Leisure, Inc. Under the Release and Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Digital Leisure a total of $40,867, plus interest, in regularly scheduled payments. As a result of the Company's failure to comply with the payment schedule, Digital Leisure has subsequently secured a judgment for the total amount owed. On August 9, 2001, an action was filed in California Superior Court, County of Orange, against the Company, certain officers and its current Directors by Donald C. Watters, the Company's former president, chief operating officer and director, claiming breaches of contract, good faith and fair dealing, and fiduciary duty, and tortious adverse employment action in violation of public policy. Mr. Watters is seeking general damages of not less than $2,780,000, punitive damages, interest, attorney's fees and court costs. Mr. Watters was terminated by the Company for cause. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On August 10, 2001, a lawsuit was filed by Kforce.com seeking to collect approximately $43,000 claimed to be owed under a Consulting Services Agreement. Management has referred the lawsuit to outside counsel for review and appropriate response. The claim is fully accrued in the Company's financial statements. NOTE 10--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company made loans to eLiberation.com Corporation in conjunction with a contemplated merger between the two companies. The loans are secured by a UCC- 1 Financing Statement filed on August 22, 2000 with the California Secretary of State. On July 2, 2001, the maturity date of the loans, the amount due the Company including accrued interest was $273,577. On August 3, 2001, the Company took available steps to collect all amounts due plus legal expenses. On August 15, 2001 the Company received repayment of approximately $250,000, net of legal expenses. On July 12, 2001, the Company announced that it had successfully negotiated the restructuring of all outstanding convertible preferred stock to debt instruments subject to the signing of definitive documents. Although definitive agreements have not been signed, and the terms of the agreements may change, the following are the current terms of the proposed agreements. Simultaneously, all holders of convertible preferred stock agreed to a ninety day no trade, lockup period with respect to their trading in the Company's common stock. Under the restructuring, the holders of shares of Series J and Series K Convertible 11 Preferred Stock will exchange their preferred stock for promissory notes at 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the preferred stock and accrued dividends plus warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. The notes will bear interest at 8% per annum payable on a quarterly basis and are subject to four redemption payments totaling approximately $1,689,000 over 10 months. The holders of all shares of Series M Convertible Preferred Stock will exchange their preferred stock for promissory notes at the outstanding principal amount of the preferred stock, accrued dividends and penalties plus warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. The notes will bear interest at 8% per annum payable on a quarterly basis. The notes will be redeemed with an initial payment of $1,000,000 followed by monthly payments over 2 years totaling approximately $1,137,000. In addition, the Series M holders will receive on a pro-rata basis one share of common stock for each $20 of additional capital raised by the Company until the notes are fully redeemed. If completed, this restructuring would result in an increase in current notes payable of approximately $3,800,000 and interest expense of approximately $1,200,000 at the date of restructuring. On July 20, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial consulting and marketing firm, Madison & Wall, for which compensation of 400,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock is payable. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company entered into three agreements with financial and marketing consultants for which compensation of 1,580,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock are issuable, one share of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into 49,390 shares of common stock, and the Company issued 40,000 shares of common stock as interest and penalties on a loan to the Company. 12 Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto found elsewhere herein.
