ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Filing Persons  entered into the  transaction  contemplated  in the
Agreement for investment purposes.

         (a) The Filing Persons currently do not intend to acquire or dispose of
a material amount of securities of the Issuer.

         (b)  Hemingway,  Hutt and Budd, in their  capacities  as officers,  and
Hemingway in his capacity as a director,  of the Issuer or Intermark,  from time
to time consider acquisitions by the Issuer or a subsidiary.

         (c)  Hemingway,  Hutt and Budd, in their  capacities  as officers,  and
Hemingway in his capacity as a director,  of the Issuer or Intermark,  from time

Directors  of  the  Issuer  along  with  Shawn  Cunninham,  the  designate  of a
continuing  director of the Issuer,  David Mock.  Hemingway,  Hutt, Budd, Robert
Orbach  and David  Lyons,  each of whom was  nominated  by  Hemingway,  has been
nominated for election as directors at the Issuer's Annual Meeting  scheduled to

CUSIP No. 45765b204                   13D


         (e)  Pursuant to the  Agreement,  the Board of  Directors of the Issuer
prior to the closing under the Agreement approved a 10 for 1 reverse stock split
of the Issuer's  Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"),  which will result in
the automatic  conversion of all of the Issuer's  outstanding Series H Preferred
Stock into Common Stock because  sufficient  authorized  and unissued  shares of
reclassified Common Stock thereupon will become available for such conversion.

         Pursuant to the  Agreement (as defined in Item 3),  certain  members of
the Issuer's former  management,  David Mock and Terry Haas, have agreed to vote
for the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change. The Filing Persons believe such
former  management  beneficially  hold and have  power to vote in the  aggregate
1,500,000  or fewer  shares of Common  Stock.  The Filing  Persons  disclaim any
beneficial ownership of these shares.

         (f)  Hemingway,  Hutt and Budd, in their  capacities  as officers,  and
Hemingway in his capacity as a director,  of the Issuer or Intermark,  from time
to time consider other changes in the Issuer's business or corporate structure.

         (g)  Hemingway,  Hutt and Budd, in their  capacities  as officers,  and
Hemingway in his capacity as a director,  of the Issuer or Intermark,  from time
to time consider other changes in the Issuer's  Certificate of  Incorporation or
Bylaws.  The Board of Directors of the Issuer has designated  140,000 additional
shares of Series H Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Issuer intends
to solicit  proxies  from holders of the  outstanding  Common Stock to approve a
change in the Issuer's  name to Esynch  Corporation  (the "Name  Change") and to
approve the Reverse  Stock  Split,  each of which  requires an  amendment of the
Issuer's  Certificate  of  Incorporation.  The  Agreement (as defined in Item 3)
contemplates  such  proxy  solicitation.  The  Issuer's  Board of  Directors  as
constituted  prior to August 5, 1998  approved  these  proposals.  The  Issuer's
Preferred Stock may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors in
one or more series without  stockholder  vote. The  designations  are or will be
evidenced by Certificates of Designation, or of Increase, Decrease,  Elimination
or the like, which are deemed to be amendments or supplements to the Certificate
of Incorporation.  Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying or impeding a
change in control.

         (h) Inapplicable  because the Issuer's shares are not listed on a stock
exchange  or quoted on the Nasdaq  Stock  Market,  as the Common  Stock had been
de-listed by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market prior to August 5, 1998.  Trading prices
of the shares of Common Stock are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board,
and in that regard the Filing  Persons have no plans or intentions  with respect
to causing the shares to cease being  quoted.  As soon as  possible,  the Issuer
intends to seek Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing of the Common Stock.

         (i) The Filing  Persons  have no plans or  intentions  with  respect to
causing the Common Stock to become  eligible  for  termination  of  registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.

         (j)  Except  as set  forth  above in this  Item 4,  none of the  Filing
Persons  nor,  to the  best  of  each  Filing  Person's  knowledge,  none of the
executive  officers or directors of the Issuer, as applicable,  has any plans or
proposals  that  relate to or would  result in any of the actions  specified  in
clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D.

         However,  the Filing Persons  intend to review their  investment in the
Issuer on a continuing basis and,  depending upon the price of the Common Stock,
subsequent   developments  affecting  the  Issuer,  the  Issuer's  business  and
prospects,  general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and
other  factors  deemed  relevant,  may  decide to  increase  or  decrease  their
investment  in the Common Stock of the Issuer or take other  actions  similar to
any of those enumerated in Item 4 of the Instructions to Schedule 13D.

Stock,  in the  amounts  and of the  kinds  shown in Item 3, in the  transaction
completed on August 5, 1998 in accordance with the Agreement (as defined in Item
3). Each of the Filing  Persons  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of all Common
Stock reported as beneficially  owned by the other Filing Persons.  Mauro is the
spouse of Hemingway. Each of Hemingway, Hutt and Budd is a founder, director and
executive  officer of  Intermark.  The amounts of shares  beneficially  owned as

23.4%  of  the  Common  Shares,   including   10,971,000  issuable  (subject  to
availability  of authorized  Common Shares or the Approval)  upon  conversion of
Preferred Shares;  and 2,924,438 issuable (subject to availability of authorized
Common Shares or the  Approval)  upon  conversion  of Preferred  Shares that are
issuable  upon  exercise  of  stock  options.   Hemingway  disclaims  beneficial
ownership  of  shares  owned by  Mauro.  Aggregately,  Hemingway's  and  Mauro's
beneficial ownership is an estimated 15,555,163, or 25.7%.

authorized  Common Shares or the Approval) upon conversion of Preferred  Shares;
and 2,924,438  issuable  (subject to availability of authorized Common Shares or
the  Approval)  upon  conversion  of  Preferred  Shares that are  issuable  upon
exercise of stock options.
