Second interim results for the ten months to 30 June 2000
Second Interim Results
Since the acquisition of Groovetech was completed in April
2000, the results for the period show the figures for
Groovetech for only May and June. Groovetech is a leading
internet broadcaster of live electronic dance music.
Total Groovetech revenues for the first six months of 2000
at £170,500 are approximately seven times greater than
the same period last year and approximately double the
revenues for the whole of 1999. Revenues are continuing
to grow.
The Company has maintained a gross profit margin of about
30 percent. Groovetech operates in a part of the music
market which is not subject to the intense price-cutting
that has affected other sectors of the online music
industry.
Announcements regarding forthcoming projects currently in
development at Groovetech are expected to be made in the
near future.
Jon Cunningham, Chief Executive of IMM, commented:
'Our Groovetech website and related commercial activities
continue to make good progress. We are seeing steady
growth in our music sales and the internet broadcasting
space in general.'
Notes to Editors:
Recognized as a pioneer of streaming broadcasts on the
Web, Groovetech formed in 1996 to serve the global,
electronic dance music community. With offices in Seattle
and London, and broadcast partners in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Detroit and Rio de Janeiro, Groovetech is the
finest source for electronic dance music on the Web. More
information is available at www.groovetech.com.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO INTERNET MUSIC & MEDIA PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the
financial information set out on pages 3 to 7 and we have
read the other information contained in the interim report
and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatement or material inconsistencies with the
financial information.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information
contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by the directors. The AIM Rules of the London
Stock Exchange require that the accounting policies and
presentation applied to the interim figures should be
consistent with group policies, except where any changes,
and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with guidance
contained in Bulletin 1999/4 issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. A review consists principally of making
enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures
to the financial information and underlying financial data
and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting
policies and presentation have been consistently applied
unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as test of controls and verification of
assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with
Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of
assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an
audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any
material modifications that should be made to the
financial information as presented for the ten months
ended 30 June 2000.
