F-5 ESYNCH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1--NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES On April 1, 1999, eSynch Corporation ("eSynch") acquired Kiss Software Corporation and on September 20, 1999, eSynch acquired Oxford Media Corporation. The primary activities of eSynch, the consolidated company, have consisted of raising capital, acquiring businesses, developing and marketing video-on-demand services and video streaming through the Internet, and software sales through the Internet. Principles of Consolidation -- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eSynch for all periods presented, and the accounts of Kiss Software Corporation and Oxford Media Corporation from the dates of their acquisitions on April 1, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively. 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. Business Condition -- The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and has accumulated a deficit at December 31, 2000 in the amount of $44,692,889. Management's plan to mitigate the impact of these conditions is to obtain additional equity financing through the issuance of the Company's debt, 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 customer in 2000 and 1999 did not exceed 10% of total sales. 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. Inventory-- Inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost was determined using the first-in, first-out method. At December 31, 1999, the inventory balance consisted of packaged software. During the year ended December 31, 2000 the Company wrote off the balance of inventory as it had become obsolete. Equipment -- Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the equipment, which are three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs of equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gain or loss is included in operations. Stock-Based Compensation - Stock-based compensation to employees is measured by the intrinsic value method. This method recognizes compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees based on the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of the stock option on the date granted. Compensation expense related to stock options granted to non- employees is determined based upon the fair value of the stock options on the date granted. F-8 Advertising Costs -- Advertising costs have been recognized as expense when incurred, and amounted to $301,674 and $65,617 during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively Loss Per Share -- The Company computes basic and diluted loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 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. The effects of 9,032,461 and 5,308,523 potentially issuable common shares outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, as they would have decreased the loss per share. Revenue Recognition -- The Company sells software products at fixed prices for which the right to return is granted to the buyer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when the buyer has paid for the products and the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. Cost of products sold is recognized at the date the sale is recognized less an estimate for sales returns. Until the sale is recognized, products purchased from publishers are accounted for as consigned product from publishers and the related cost is not reflected in the financial statements with the exception of a limited amount of software inventory owned by the Company at year-end. The subsidiary Oxford Media recognizes revenue when the product is completed and the goods are shipped to the customer. NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS Kiss Software - Effective April 1, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Kiss Software Corporation, a California corporation engaged in the wholesale and retail distribution of computer and Internet utility software products. Under the agreement, shareholders of Kiss agreed to exchange each of their common shares for .181557136 common shares of eSynch and each of their preferred shares for .4183964 common shares of eSynch. The exchange resulted in the Company issuing 1,428,134 common shares to Kiss shareholders. The Company also issued 163,187 options in conjunction with the purchase. These options are exercisable at $2.11 per share. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The acquisition purchase price, based upon the fair value of the common stock and options issued, has been estimated at $3,965,571. Of this amount, $3,568,908 is applicable to the common stock issued in the Kiss acquisition and $396,663 is applicable to the stock options issued to the Kiss employees. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable acquired assets less liabilities assumed was $5,315,094, which was recognized as goodwill. Amortization of goodwill recognized during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $1,635,009 and $1,282,301, respectively. Goodwill is being amortized over approximately three years on a straight-line basis. Oxford Media -- Effective September 30, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Oxford Media Corp. ("Oxford"), engaged in DVD video encoding, compression and authoring. Under the Agreement the shareholders of Oxford exchanged all the outstanding shares of Oxford common stock for 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price of the acquired assets was computed to be $720,000 which was attributed to the assets acquired including software licenses in the amount of $100,000 and goodwill in the amount of $119,900. Oxford received a nonexclusive license from Oxford Management Corporation, a Nevada corporation, which is a license of proprietary software and source code for a video-on-demand hotel pay- per-view system. The value of the software license is included in other assets and is being amortized over three years. Amortization of the software license recognized during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $33,333 and $8,333, respectively. The goodwill is also being amortized over three years. Amortization of goodwill recognized during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $39,967 and $9,993, respectively. F-9 NOTE 3--NOTES RECEIVABLE Notes receivable includes $500,000 loaned to an officer-director during the year ended December 31, 2000.The note bears 10% interest and is due February 26, 2001. Subsequent to year-end the Company received a payment on $200,000 on this note. At December 31, 2000, the Company treated $300,000 of the note receivable as compensation to the shareholder and recorded an accrual for payroll taxes. Upon payment of the remaining note balance the accrual will be reversed. On June 14, 2000, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to acquire eLiberation.com Corporation ("eLiberation.com"). In June, 2000, the Company advanced $250,000 to eLiberation.com under a short-term, secured note due August 31, 2000. On July 21, 2000 the Company advanced an additional $30,000 to eLiberation.com under the existing terms and due date. On August 25, 2000 the Company agreed to extend the due date of the note to November 30, 2000 based upon the agreement by eLiberation to deliver certain marketing promotions for the Company. Effective August 31, 2000, the Company exercised its option to terminate the acquisition. The Company elected to expense this note at December 31, 2000 as an acquisition cost based on the initial amount issued was in connection with an assumed acquisition. NOTE 4--EQUIPMENT Equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2000 and 1999: 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- Furniture and fixtures $ 87,398 $ 58,752 Computer equipment 662,976 592,049 Leasehold improvements 78,114 28,637 Equipment under capital lease 199,010 -- ---------- ---------- Total $1,027,498 $ 679,438 ========== ========= Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $248,336 and $96,642 respectively. NOTE 5 -- ACCRUED LIABILITIES The pre-acquisition liabilities are a reserve for potential liabilities assumed at the time of the acquisition of Innovus and Intermark. No claims have been made against these items during the year ended December 31, 2000. However, based upon the dismissal of a legal claim against Intermark, the reserve was reduced by $92,415 during the period. During the year 2000, the Company reduced the reserve by $22,500 from cash payments and $96,436 based on items in which the statute of limitations of four years had expired. Included in accrued pre-acquisition liabilities are $638,740 in obligations to state and federal governments for payroll taxes from previous years and estimated interest and penalties owing on such tax obligations. NOTE 6 -- NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable consisted of the following: December 31, ---------------------- 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- 10% Convertible note payable to a shareholder; unsecured; due on demand $ 450,000 $ -- 8% Series L Convertible debentures; secured by all the assets of the the Company; due on December 7, 2003 500,000 -- 7% Note payable to a shareholder; interest due quarterly; principal payable $14,754 quarterly beginning March 2001; unsecured 77,150 77,150 10% Series A Convertible debentures; secured by all assets of the Company; due on demand. -- 25,000 10% Note payable to a shareholder; payable on demand; unsecured 6,250 6,250 ---------- ---------- Total Notes Payable $1,033,400 $ 108,400 ========== ========== F-10 At December 31, 2000, the Company has $450,000 due to a shareholder and a member of the Board of Directors. The note bears an interest rate of 10%. The note was entered into on June 14, 2000 and was originally due on September 12, 2000. Subsequent to year end, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock to this shareholder. In return the shareholder agreed to extend the terms of the note. Currently the note is due on demand with 20 days prior written notice. The 10% Series A Convertible Debentures in the amount of $25,000 each were issued in April 1998 to three shareholders. The note holders are entitled, at their option, to convert the debenture principal amounts, together with accrued interest, into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. During 1999, two of the note holders converted their debentures into common stock. In 1999, the remaining note was extended by the holder to be due on March 31, 2000. Secured Convertible Debentures On December 7, 2000 the Company issued Secured Convertible Debentures ("Debentures") in the amount of $500,000. The Debentures bear an 8% interest rate and are due on December 7, 2003. The Company received $438,000 in proceeds, net of debt issuance costs of $62,000. In connection with these debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.38 per share. The placement agent received a cash commission of 8% of the gross proceeds equaling $40,000 and warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.38. Under the terms of a registration rights agreement the Company agreed to bear the costs of registering the common stock underlying the conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the warrants. The Debentures became convertible into common stock on the date of issuance and are convertible into the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the face amount of the debentures by the conversion price, computed as the lower of $1.38 per common share or 78% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices per share in the twenty-trading-day period ending on the day before conversion. Any Debentures not converted on the third anniversary of the issuance date will be automatically converted into common stock, subject to extensions by the Company for certain events for up to two additional years. The Secured Convertible Debenture holders received a beneficial conversion feature on the dates of issuance. The value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined as the difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock per share and the conversion price, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock into which the Debentures are convertible. The value of the beneficial conversion feature was $286,164 and was recognized as additional paid- in capital and a debt discount. The Debentures were convertible at the date of issuance; therefore, the debt discount was charged to interest expense at the date of issuance. The warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance through December 7, 2005. The fair value of the warrants on the date issued was $507,250, ($101,450 was allocated to the warrants issued to the placement agent) determined using the Black_Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 5.26% risk_free interest rate, 0% expected dividend yield, 149.8% volatility and 5.0 years estimated life. The net proceeds from the Debenture offering were allocated to the Debentures and the warrants based upon their relative fair values and resulted in allocating $195,650 to the Debentures, net of $163,450 debt issue costs, and $405,800 to the warrants. The amount allocated to the warrants was recognized as additional paid-in capital. The Company capitalized the amounts paid to the placement agent and the value of the warrants given as debt issue costs. As a result, the Company recorded $163,450 in debt issue costs and is amortizing these costs over the three year term of the Debentures. During the year ended December 31, 2000, amortization expense was $3,582. F-11 Interest on the Debentures is accrued at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest is not required to be paid until conversion, payment or until an acquisition of the Company occurs. The Company has the option of paying accrued interest either in cash or in common shares, based on the conversion price then in effect. To date, the Company has not paid any interest on the Debentures. Accrued interest payable on the balance sheet date was estimated based on the fair value of the number of shares of common stock issuable using the current conversion price. At December 31, 2000 accrued interest on the Debentures was $3,398. The Company may redeem the Debentures on ten days written notice to the holders of the Secured Convertible Debenture and payment in an amount equal to 120% of the principal, plus accrued interest. If the Company is in default of one or more defined conditions of the Debentures, the holders of the Debentures may demand the immediate payment of the Debentures at 120% of their fair amount, plus accrued interest. Related Party Notes Payable -- During 1999, the Company converted a note to an officer and shareholder into shares of the Company's common stock. Interest accrued on the note at the rate of 7%. The note and outstanding interest were settled with the issuance of 79,921 shares of common stock at $2.81 per share. NOTE 7 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Capital Lease -- The Company entered into a lease for computer equipment during the year. The gross amount of assets under the capital lease are $199,010 with accumulated amortization of $27,530 at December 31, 2000. The lease is for thirty six months and requires monthly payments of $7,413. The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments under the lease: For the Year Ending December 31, Capital -------------------- -------- 2001 $ 88,958 2002 88,958 2003 51,891 -------- Total Minimum Payments 229,807 Less amount representing interest 50,993 -------- Present value of net minimum lease payments 178,814 Less current portion 63,244 -------- Obligation Under Capital leases $115,570 ======== Operating Lease -- The Company leases office and warehouse facilities under a five-year agreement classified as an operating lease. Monthly minimum rental payments on the new lease are $20,010 to be adjusted upwards by 4% for each succeeding year during the term of the lease.

Dividends on the preferred stock were payable prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends on the common stock, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. However, there is no stated dividend rate. The preferred stock was convertible, at the option of the holder, into common stock at the lesser of $3.00 per share or the average closing bid price of the common stock over the ten trading days ending on either November 16, 1999 or an earlier date on which the Company receives a second funding of at least $3,000,000 mentioned above.

Any Series J convertible preferred shares not converted on the third anniversary of the issuance dates will be automatically converted into common stock, subject to extensions by the Company for certain events.

Accrued dividends payable on the balance sheet date were estimated based on the fair value of the number of shares of common stock issuable using the current conversion price, and totaled $242,961 and $133,894 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
