          ---------                                            ---    ---


         (e) None of the persons identified in Item 2(a) was a party to any
civil proceeding during the last five years as a result of which it or he has
been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations

securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

         (f) Each of the individuals named in Item 2(a) is a citizen of the
United States of America.

ITEM 3.    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS AND OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Reference is made to Item 4 for a description of the transaction in
which eSynch acquired the Acquired Shares. The Issuer issued the Acquired
Shares to eSynch as collateral for loans from eSynch to the Issuer in the
amount of $436,850 (the "Loans"). The source of the funds loaned by eSynch to
the Issuer was a combination of working capital and the proceeds from the
sale of securities. Mr. and Ms. Hemingway paid $53,312.50 from personal
savings to acquire 67,000 shares of the Issuer.

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

On March 22, 2000, the Issuer issued the 913,687 of the Acquired Shares to
eSynch pursuant to the terms of a Collateral Agreement dated as of March 5,
2001 between the Issuer and eSynch. The Issuer now owes, but has not yet
issued to, eSynch an additional 533,333 Acquired Shares under the Collateral
Agreement. On January 24, 2001, the Issuer and eSynch announced that they had
signed a letter of intent to effect a business combination (the "Merger") in
which eSynch would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. If the
Merger were completed, shares of eSynch Common Stock and Preferred Stock
outstanding before the Merger would be converted into shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock and Preferred Stock respectively, and holders of the Common
Stock of eSynch immediately before the Merger would own a majority of the
Issuer's Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Merger. The Issuer
and eSynch had informally agreed that before the completion of the Merger,
the Issuer would amend its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one for
five reverse stock split, increase its authorized Common Stock to 80,000,000
shares and authorize 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On March 29, 2001,
eSynch and the Issuer agreed not to proceed with the Merger and to end Merger
discussion. On March 30, 2001, eSynch announced that eSynch and the Issuer
had terminated Merger discussions.

         The purpose of the Issuer's issuance of the Acquired Shares to
eSynch was to secure the Loans that were to provide funds to be used as
working capital to fund the Issuer's operations until the Merger is completed.

         Mr. Hemingway is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of eSynch and Ms. Hemingway is his spouse. Although the Reporting
Persons did not expressly agree to act together in acquiring, holding, voting
or disposing of the Common Stock of the Issuer, by reason of their
relationships to each other each of them may be deemed to have understood
that they would vote their shares of Common Stock for the Merger and the
amendment of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation described above. By
reason of any such understanding as to the voting of their Common Stock, the
Reporting Persons may constitute a group that may be deemed to be one
"person" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "34 Act"), and Regulation 13D under the 34 Act.

         The purpose of any understanding among the Reporting Persons to vote
their shares of Common Stock for the Merger and the amendment of the Issuer's
Certificate of Incorporation was to provide greater assurance that the Merger
and the amendment of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation described
above would be approved by a majority of the holders of Issuer's Common Stock.

         The Reporting Persons now intend to vote their shares of Common
Stock against a proposal to amend the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation
to effect a reverse stock split. The Reporting Persons have no current plans
or proposals that relate to or would result in:

            (a)      the acquisition or disposition of securities of the
                     Issuer;

            (b)      an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the
                     Issuer or any subsidiary;

            (c)      a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
                     Issuer or any subsidiary;

            (d)      any changes in the Issuer's board of directors or
                     management;

                                LETTER OF INTENT

                             DATED DECEMBER 07, 2000

BETWEEN:                  ESYNCH CORPORATION ("eSYNCH") is a corporation duly
                          incorporated under the laws of Delaware, having its
                          head office at 15502 Mosher Ave. Tustin, CA 92780,
                          and is an operating Internet development company that
                          focuses on streaming and video-on-demand media
                          applications, and is represented by its Chief
                          Executive Officer, Thomas Hemingway.

AND:                      STREAMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS INC. ("STREAMEDIA") is a
                          corporation duly incorporated in Delaware, having its
                          head office at 244 West 54th Street, New York, New
                          York 10019, and is an operating Internet development
                          company that focuses on streaming media applications,
                          and is represented by its President, Henry Siegel.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING LETTER OF INTENT:

1.       MERGER. STREAMEDIA and eSYNCH agree that, subject to approval by the
         shareholders of STREAMEDIA and eSYNCH, eSYNCH will merge with a wholly
         owned subsidiary of STREAMEDIA (the "Transaction"). The parties will
         structure the transaction in a manner so that each party can comply
         with applicable legal, tax and accounting requirements.

2.       REVERSE SPLIT. Concurrent with the merger described in paragraph 1, the
         common stock of STREAMEDIA will undergo a reverse split. The ratio of
         the reverse split will depend on the price of the common stock (par
         value of $0.001 per share) of STREAMEDIA ("old STREAMEDIA stock") at
         the time the parties enter into the Transaction Agreement, which is
         described in paragraph 5.

         a.       RATIO. STREAMEDIA and eSYNCH anticipate that the ratio will
                  likely be one new share ("new STREAMEDIA stock") for at least
                  each five shares of old STREAMEDIA stock.

         b.       PROCEDURE. The STREAMEDIA board of directors will determine
                  the reverse split ratio and present it to the shareholders of
                  STREAMEDIA in the resolution declaring the advisability of the
                  merger between STREAMEDIA and eSYNCH, as required by Delaware
                  law. Both parties understand that the goal of the reverse
                  split is so the new STREAMEDIA stock will trade at or above
                  $10.00 per share.

3.       TERMS OF TRANSACTION AGREEMENT.  The following terms shall be
         contemplated by the Transaction Agreement:

<PAGE>

         a.       CONSIDERATION. In the Transaction, STREAMEDIA will issue
                  shares of authorized and previously unissued common stock
                  to shareholders of eSYNCH.

         b.       SHARE ISSUANCE RATIO. STREAMEDIA will issue common stock,
                  as described in this paragraph 3, that upon consummation of
                  the Transaction, each eSYNCH shareholder will receive
                  shares of old STREAMEDIA stock at the following ratio:

                           For each share of eSYNCH held, the shareholder will
                           receive 3 shares of old STREAMEDIA stock (or $6.00
                           worth of old STREAMEDIA stock, as valued by the
                           closing share price on the trading date prior to the
                           closing of the Transaction).

         c.       ADJUSTMENT. The ratio described in this paragraph 3 will be
                  adjusted to account for the reverse stock split that will
                  occur before the Transaction, as described in paragraph 1.

         d.       ESYNCH OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. STREAMEDIA shall assume options,
                  warrants, and other securities of eSYNCH in accordance with
                  the terms of those securities.

         e.       REGISTRATION OF ISSUED STOCK. Unless exempt from registration
                  under the Securities Act of 1933, STREAMEDIA agrees to
                  register the common stock that STREAMEDIA will provide to
                  eSYNCH shareholders under this paragraph 3, and to qualify
                  these securities under applicable state securities laws
                  (unless an exemption applies). STREAMEDIA also agrees to
                  register the options or warrants that it will assume under
                  this paragraph 3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
                  and applicable state securities authorities, unless exempt
                  from such registration requirements.

         f.       TIMING. Both parties will act in good faith to complete the
                  transaction as soon as reasonably possible. The parties
                  intend to immediately negotiate the definitive agreements,
                  and commence preparation of all necessary filings.

         g.       REQUIRED CONSENTS.  Each of the parties will use its best
                  efforts to obtain all necessary consents required of it from
                  third parties relating to the Transaction, and to cooperate
                  with the other party in its efforts in such respects.

4.       APPROVALS AND CONSENTS.

         a.       SHAREHOLDER CONSENT. It is currently anticipated that the
                  Transaction shall require approval of each respective
                  party's Board of Directors and stockholders, as may be
                  required by their governing documents and applicable law. If
                  approval of stockholders is required for the Transaction, the
                  Board of Directors of STREAMEDIA and the Board of Directors
                  of eSYNCH will, consistent with their fiduciary duties,
                  recommend the Transaction to their respective stockholders,
                  and, subject to the requirements of applicable law, will seek
                  written consent from their respective stockholders.

<PAGE>


         b.       CONSULTATION. Both parties and their respective
                  representatives or counsel will consult with each other
                  concerning the form and content of the consent described in
                  this paragraph 4.

         c.       STREAMEDIA -- TERMINATION. The Board of Directors of
                  STREAMEDIA may, in its discretion, elect to not consummate
                  the Transaction if its new common stock does not have a
                  value of $10.00 or more per share or if the ratio of the
                  reverse split described in paragraph 1 is greater than 1
                  for 5 to attain a price of at least $10.00 per share by the
                  trading day before the day the Transaction is scheduled to
                  close.

         d.       ESYNCH -- TERMINATION. eSYNCH's Board of Directors may, in
                  its discretion, not consummate the Transaction if
                  STREAMEDIA's new Common Stock has not continued to be
                  listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or does not close at
                  a price of $10.00 or more per share as of the trading day
