Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE #1 - ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on
February 24, 1987, using the name Sussex Enterprises, Inc. The Articles of
Incorporation grant the Corporation authority to engage in any lawful business
or activity which may be conducted under the laws of the State of Nevada or any
other state or nation wherein the Corporation shall be authorized to transact
business.
On February 19, 1988, the Company entered into a plan and Agreement of
Merger with Sierra Solids, Inc., a California Corporation, wherein the Company
issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of
Sierra Solids, Inc. On March 9, 1988, Articles of Amendment were filed changing
the name to Sierra Solids, Inc. The company had limited operations in l988,
but produced no significant revenue and is considered to be a development
stage company.
NOTE #2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(1) Depreciation on assets has been recorded using the straight-line
method.
(2) The Company uses the accrual method of accounting in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
(3) Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which they
occur.
(4) The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. (The
Company currently has no liquid investments.)
(5) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
(6) Goodwill is amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method.
(7) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Synergy Media and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transact-
ions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE #4 - BANKRUPTCY
On September 26, 1989, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a
resolution directing the Company to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition under

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Synergy Media, Inc. (the "Registrant" or "Company") was incorporated under the
laws of the state of Nevada on February 24, 1987, under the name Sussex
Enterprises, Inc. The Company was initially organized to act as a vehicle for a
company to use to become a public entity. The Company filed a registration
statement on Form S-18 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and proposed
to raise a minimum of $250,000 and a maximum of $375,000 through the sale of its
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a sale price
of $0.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a
warrant to purchase another share of Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The
exercise term on the warrants has expired. The registration statement was
granted an effective date of June 16, 1987. On September 16, 1987, the Company
completed its offering.
On October l9, 1987, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization with Greenhill Music, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Greenhill"),
engaged in the music recording industry. The Company advanced $20,000 to
Greenhill in anticipation of the merger but terminated the agreement before it
was submitted to the subscribers of the Company's public offering. Subsequently,
on February 19, 1988, the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger
with Sierra Solids, Inc., a California corporation ("Sierra"), wherein the
Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of the outstanding
shares of Sierra. On March 9, 1988, the Company filed Articles of Amendment
changing the name of the Company to Sierra Solids, Inc.
After the merger with Sierra, the Company was engaged in bulk nutritional and
over-the-counter contract manufacturing services to the pharmaceutical and food
industries. Unfortunately, the Company was unable to obtain the needed funds to
properly run its business and was forced to file a voluntary bankruptcy in the
Northern District of California, case number 4-89-04373 TS-2. The petition was
filed September 27, 1989, and a final decree was filed on December l, l989.
After the bankruptcy, the Company discontinued operations and has had no
business operations from the time of the bankruptcy until December l, 1995. On
April 22, 1996, the Company filed Articles of Amendment changing the name of the
Company to Synergy Media, Inc.
On April 4, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Synergy
Communications, Inc., a regional Internet Service Provider. The Synergy
Communications, Inc. shareholders received 750,000 shares of the Company's
stock in the transaction. Synergy Communications, Inc. sustained substantial
losses during and after the quarter, consuming a substantial amount of
capital. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, significant management
changes were made including evaluation of cost reductions. However, there
can be no assurance that Synergy Communications, Inc. will ever be profitable
and it is likely that it will require significant additional funding.
During the quarter and subsequently, numerous members of management and
employees resigned from Synergy Communications, Inc. Certain corporations,
government entities and individuals are owed monies for compensation, expense
reimbursement, services, merchandise, taxes and other reasons. In certain
cases, the Company is owed monies by these individuals. Due to the Company's
limited liquidity, these amounts owed have not been paid to date and are
subject to the Company's ability to raise money. In the event these monies
are not paid in the near future, certain entities and individuals have
Page 10 of 17
indicated they may bring legal action against the Company. In certain cases
current management of the Company have guaranteed these obligations.
On April 26, 1996, the Registrant consummated a merger between its wholly
owned
subsidiary and CSG Wireless, Inc., a wireless communications engineering and
equipment provider. During the quarter the Company advanced $247,269 to CSG
Wireless, Inc., with an additional $220,000 thereafter. Subsequent to the
end of the quarter on October 30, 1996, the Company announced the cancella-
tion of its merger with CSG Wireless, Inc. The cancellation agreement calls
for Ken McLeod to return the 700,000 shares of stock to the Company. All
warrants for Ken and Carol Ann McLeod and CSG Wireless staff will be
cancelled. Ken and Carol Ann McLeod will assume all trade debt of CSG
Wireless, Inc. In return, the Company will pay outstanding payroll taxes of
approximately $30,000. The taxes have not been paid as of the filing date,
nor has Mr. McLeod returned the 700,000 shares of stock. (See attached
Exhibit "Cancellation Agreement".) The Company cannot be assured that there
will not be further expenditures, legal costs, or other charges that may
arise subsequently as a result of the CSG Wireless, Inc. acquisition and
subsequent cancellation.
Subsequent to the quarter on July 1, 1996, the Registrant entered into an
agreement with Innovative Consultants, Inc. ("Innovative") whereby its wholly-
owned subsidiary, Synergy Communications, Inc. entered into a merger agreement
with Innovative. Approximately $12,000 were advanced to Innovative during the
second quarter with an additional $20,000 subsequent to the end of the quarter.
An additional accrual was made for $128,000 of potential liaibilities.
However, the merger agreement was never executed. Subsequent to the end of
the quarter in November of 1996, the Company determined not to conclude the
acquisition. Innovative and its shareholders have indicated that they
sustained substantial monetary damages directly attributable to the failure
of Synergy Media, Inc. and Synergy Communications, Inc. to fulfill their
respective obligations under the merger contract. The Company cannot be
assured that there will not be further expenditures, legal costs, or other
charges that may arise subsequently as a result of the Innovative relation-
ship and subsequent cancellation.
For the first six months of 1996, ending June 30, 1996, the Company had a net
loss of $1,067,630. The majority of the expenses were for expenses associated
with corporate overhead and operating expenses of the Companies subsidiaries.
Over the next 12 month period, the Registrant anticipates it will require
approximately $1.5 million of capital to fund its operations and complete
business ventures and/or acquisitions, which are not yet identified. At the
present time, the Registrant does not have sufficient capital to operate its
business or pursue new business ventures.
The Registrant is currently in discussions with potential investors about the
possibility of their investing such capital. There can be no assurances that
necessary funds will be raised for the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
CAPITAL RESOURCES & LIQUIDITY: As of December 31, 1995, the Company had no
assets and liabilities of $115,731. Liabilities increased to 135,032 on March
31, 1996, as a result of the cost of consulting work.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had current assets of $236,134 and liabili-
Page 11 of 17
ties of $613,963.
In order for the Company to be adequately capitalized for its new business
plan, it undertook to sell shares of its common stock both in the United
States under Regulation D and outside of the United States to an institution
who is not a U. S. person pursuant to offerings under Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1993 as amended.
During the second quarter of 1996, 1,712,500 shares were issued at a price of
$.05 under consulting option agreements between the Company and consultants
for services. Additionally, the Registrant sold 133,333 shares for a price
of $.75(none of which were Regulation S), 200,001 shares were sold for a price
of $1.50 (all of which were Regulation S), and 60,000 shares were sold for a
price of $.50 per share (none of which were Regulation S). The Company
determined, after discussions with various investors, this was the best
available price at the time, given the condition of the Company. Subsequent
to end of the second quarter of 1996, and up to the date of filing, the
Registrant sold 398,931 shares for a price of $2.70 per share all of which
were Regulation S). An additional 228,148 shares were issued for a price of
$.05 per share for consulting services. $50,000 of debt was converted into
equity at a price of $.25 per share. The issuance of shares at $.25 per
share triggered a ratchet on 398,931 shares, whereby an additional 3,909,51
1 shares will be issued under the ratchet. (These shares have been included
in the reported shares outstanding at the filing date.)
During the second quarter, the Company issued 2,748,279, 220,000, and 644,786
warrants with exercise prices of $1.00, $1.50, and $2.70 to members of the
board, management and consultants. Subsequent to the close of the quarter,
the Company issued 400,000 warrants exercisable at $1.50. Subsequent to the
close of the quarter, an additional 2,439,358 warrants were issued pursuant
to ratchet clauses arising out of the issuance of stock at $.25 per share
described above.
In order to accomplish the goals in the current business plan, the Company
must raise a significant amount of capital. At this time management is yet
to make definite arrangements to provide the required financing. Also, the
Company is unsure whether such financing will be accomplished through the
use of debt or equity. This determination could have a substantially dilutive
impact on the Registrant's shareholders.
At the present time, the Registrant has limited liquid assets. It is highly
unlikely that these assets could provide liquidity required for the contemp-
lated additional acquisitions, there is a possibility that the Registrant
would not operate as a going concern.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION: The financial condition of the
Company as of the quarter end reflects its status as an operating Company
which was not profitable. During the second quarter the Registrant raised a
total of $687,737 from the sale of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to
the end of the quarter, Synergy Communications, Inc. borrowed $250,000 from a
bank in two loan agreements. These loans were guaranteed by certain share-
holders of the Company. The shareholders received warrants as consideration
for their guarantees. At the filing date, the outstanding balance was
$100,000. The majority of these funds have been expended for business opera-
tions, acquisition costs and expenses of consultants and advisors to the
Company, some of whom are affiliates or shareholders.
Page 12 of 17
Events subsequent to quarter end have resulted in funds of $918,257 from the
sale of shares of the Company's common stock. The majority of these funds have
been expended to pay for the purchase of investments designed to lead to
business operations for the Company, to pay operating expenses, payments to
consultants and advisors of the Company, some of whom are affiliates or
shareholders. See the description in Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
transactions.
The Company's ultimate success in pursuing the new business plan will depend on
its ability to raise capital.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Synergy Communications has the following litigation pending:
MICHAEL SHONKA VS SYNERGY COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
The original petition was filed on December 11, 1995 in the County Court of
Douglas County (Nebraska), and was subsequently dismissed. The petition was
then refiled on April 9, 1996 in District Court of Douglas County
(Nebraska), and at the date this filing is in the preliminary stages of
pleading.
Shonka sued Synergy pursuant to an alleged oral contract for the recovery
of the following:
1. $30,000 salary per year (not specified for number of years).
2. Recovery of 8% of gross sales of Synergy (not limited in time).
3. Recovery of 20% of Synergy stock.
4. Recovery of incidental expenses.
Mr. Shonka was a sales employee for Synergy in the first and second quarters,
1995. Mr. Shonka resigned from Synergy in June, 1995 after refusing to sign the
company's standard employment agreement and unsuccessfully demanding increased
compensation terms. Synergy denies all allegations and at no time promised
Shonka the items which he is requesting, and the Company is planning to
vigorously defend itself in this action.

Synergy Media, Inc. announces restructuring including cancellation of merger
agreement with CSG Wireless, Inc., closing of Minneapolis business, and
management changes.
Omaha, NE, November 19, 1996: Synergy Media, Inc. (OTC:SYME) announced today
the cancellation of its April 26, 1996, merger with Chandler, Arizona based
CSG Wireless, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of privately held Communications
Systems Group, Inc. According to Michael S. Luther, Chairman of Synergy Media,
Inc., "The companies share common interests in the Internet field, however,
because CSG Wireless, Inc. is a high-tech systems integrator and construction
company, its capital needs and cash flow requirements are quite different than
the traditional Internet Services Provider model of Synergy Media. We just
couldn't reconcile the two differing business models".
Synergy Media will continue to focus on its core business Synergy
Communications, Inc., an Omaha based Internet Services Provider focussed on
its Internet access, media development, and technical services activities
which are less capital intensive. CSG Wireless, Inc. and Synergy Media will
continue their relationship through a joint venture agreement to provide
wireless communications solutions to the broad base of Synergy Media customers.
This agreement will reduce the number of shares and warrants outstanding for
Synergy Media, Inc.
Synergy Media, Inc. also announced the closing of the Minneapolis-based internet
division of Synergy Communications, Inc. According to Mr. Luther, "The
Minneapolis business had a strong technical platform but the business base
never developed to a level of our satisfaction. There was no immediate-term
sign of profitability for the business and we felt it was most appropriate to
Page 17 of 17
deploy our capital in our strongest market, Omaha." It is anticipated that
employees and equipment from Minneapolis will be transferred to Omaha as part
of the reorganization.
Following the resignation of several senior executives at Synergy Media, Inc.,
a new management team is being put in place headed by Paula Mau. Ms. Mau
brings an eleven year background in the telecommunications industry."Synergy
needed an individual who understands the competitive nature of the
communications market" stated Mr. Luther. "Along with her market analysis
and strategic business planning success with U.S. West Communications, Ms. Mau
