However, given the lack of success in converting this interest into firm sales orders and our current cash position, the current level of investment in building a brand and sales channel in the current market conditions cannot be justified. The shape of the software business moving forward will be determined after the conclusion of our discussions with potential partners and the completion of the consultation process with our employees. The future position and value of Diligenti to InterX will be determined through the success of the current restructuring of Diligenti. We will report back to shareholders once these actions have been concluded.'

We are sorry to advise shareholders that the continuing malaise in the IT industry is severely impacting our ability to convert prospects into profitable software license sales. Results Turnover and gross profit for the three month period ended 30 December 2001 (Q2 2002) were £0.5m (Q1 2002: £0.5m) and £0.4m (Q1 2002: £0.1m) respectively. The operating loss before restructuring charges, amortisation and impairment of goodwill for Q2 was £3.5m (Q1 2002: £3.7m). The loss, after restructuring charges, amortisation and impairment of goodwill for Q2 was £153.1m (Q1 2002: £14.4m). Loss per share was 489.62p (Q1 2002: 45.91p). Cash at 30 December 2001 was £6.2m (30 September 2001: £10.1m). Prospects We are reviewing all options available to protect our cash reserves while retaining the ability to maximise the value of our technology and investments. Discussions are being held concerning the licensing of our technology for resale and consultation with our employees has begun in anticipation of significant redundancies. The Board will report back to shareholders when these matters have been concluded. Richard Jewson 12 February 2002 Chief Executive's Review InterX Technology Limited During Q2 we continued to develop our direct and partner sales pipelines and to receive validation of our technology from the industry analyst community. Indeed, at 30 December 2001, we were actively engaged, at differing points of the sales process, with over 20 companies representing some £2m of potential licence revenue. However, during this period we were only able to conclude one licence sale with a new, as opposed to existing, customer. Furthermore, since the period end, we have failed to conclude any new licence sales. Although the sales pipeline has continued to grow, my belief in our ability in the short term to convert these prospects into sales has declined for three reasons: a) the continued lack of confidence in the economy is creating significant delay in the sales process, not only with regard to the availability of budgets for IT projects, but also with regard to the level of urgency accorded to new online initiatives; b) increasingly, the trend is for companies to purchase enterprise software from global market leaders; and c) the continued delay in the growth of our revenue line, together with the resulting decline in our cash reserves, has only served to increase the concern amongst our potential customers as to our financial viability. We are therefore taking the following actions: i) to reduce the cash burn rate and to protect our cash reserves with immediate effect, we have entered into a consultation process with our employees with regard to making significant redundancies. This process is anticipated to last thirty days; ii) to address the credibility issue, we are in discussions with a view to licensing our technology for resale; and iii) to increase our available cash reserves, we continue actively to market our head office in Brentford, upon which we have a £5.4m rent deposit. Diligenti Limited ('Diligenti') In April 2000, as part of its fundraising at the time of the acquisition of Cromwell Media Limited, InterX raised £20m for the acquisition and development of PharmWeb, a pharmaceutical and health related portal, started by Manchester University. It was the intention of the Board to use this acquisition to provide the platform for the introduction of the IT Network business model and our technology within the global pharmaceutical industry. During the course of subsequent detailed due diligence it became apparent that it was inappropriate to acquire PharmWeb. It was therefore decided, in order to achieve the same strategic objectives, to take a 34% equity holding in a new company called Diligenti, for £4m, and to provide Diligenti with a £16m loan facility, due for repayment on 31 December 2001. Diligenti intended to provide the global life-sciences industry with an innovative new approach to communicating with patient, consumer and professional audiences. The majority of the funds provided by InterX were used by Diligenti to fund the acquisition and development of a business, ClinNet Solutions LLC, a US company that was the publisher of www.newsrounds.com, an online medical news and intranet service for healthcare professionals in the United States. Subsequent to the acquisition of Club Medical, the Newsrounds service was launched in France in 2001. These services were incorporated under the brand 'Diligenti Healthcare'. Additional smaller acquisitions were made in the area of agrochemicals: Easychem Inc. and Q-Global Limited, both of which were consolidated under the brand ' Konsus'. Finally, in November 2000, Diligenti acquired 59% of the issued share capital of Healthcomp Evaluation Services Corporation, trading as Exemplar International Inc., ('Exemplar'), a US NASD Pink Sheets company, (symbol: 'HCEV'), for $5m. Exemplar is a leading national provider of occupational health information and screening services in the United States. By December 2000, Diligenti required a second round of funding of £10m, the majority of which was to provide additional working capital and IT investment in Exemplar. Such was the potential of Exemplar and its strategic importance to the future value of Diligenti, together with the urgency of the requirement for additional funds, that I personally invested £3.3m in Diligenti at this time. The terms of the investment valued Diligenti at over £120m. This investment was duly disclosed in our last Annual Report. Throughout 2001, the Diligenti group concluded the process of integrating all the acquisitions into three trading units. By the summer of 2001, Diligenti's executive management embarked upon the process of a third round fundraising, with interest being expressed by certain organisations, some of which were based in New York. These funds were to be used to repay the InterX loan of £16m and to provide further working capital. However, after the events of 11 September 2001, the appetite of potential investors for such a fundraising was severely diminished. At the same time, Diligenti Healthcare and Konsus were failing to meet internal business targets, with the result that Diligenti's third round fundraising was never successfully concluded. Exemplar, however, since restructuring in the middle of 2001, has consistently hit its internal revenue targets. InterX has been in intensive discussions with the Diligenti executive management throughout the latter part of 2001 and into this year following the failure of the third round fundraising. Diligenti is now in breach of the terms of the loan agreement and InterX has been negotiating how best to resolve this situation taking into account InterX's fixed and floating charges over the assets of Diligenti. InterX is conducting these negotiations with due regard to the other independent creditors of Diligenti. Accordingly, recent actions taken by the executive management of Diligenti are: 1) the business units, Diligenti Healthcare and Konsus, have been shut down with the relevant offices in the United States, England and France closed; and 2) a professional firm of insolvency practitioners has been retained by Diligenti with the intention of their conducting a company voluntary arrangement ('CVA'). InterX has indicated a willingness to support the CVA on certain conditions, one of which is that certain shareholders of Diligenti make available their shares in Diligenti to InterX. The executive directors of Diligenti, who are its majority shareholders, have confirmed their acceptance of this condition, as have I. As stated earlier, Diligenti owns 59% of the issued share capital of Exemplar. Diligenti has also provided loans to Exemplar totalling some $11m: loans which have certain conversion rights attached. Exemplar now employs approximately 250 staff, has 40 mobile testing laboratories and has affiliations, of ranging scale, with over 10,000 clinics throughout the United States. It has over 9,000 business customers, including some of the largest corporations in the United States. Exemplar itself is the result of the consolidation of about 23 businesses since 1993. It floated on NASD OTC Bulletin Board in April 1999 with a market capitalisation of $71m. Subsequently, Exemplar failed to receive clearance by the SEC of certain documents filed during December 1999, resulting in Exemplar being moved onto NASD Pink Sheets. Since the beginning of last year, significant time and effort has been spent amending these filings in order to recommence trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. It is the intention of the Exemplar board to ensure that all filings are completed by this summer. As at 8 February 2002, there were 42.4m Exemplar shares in issue, of which only 3.5m shares were tradable, each with a market price of $0.45. Diligenti holds 24.9m of these shares (59%). Of the $11m of Diligenti loans to Exemplar, Diligenti has the right to convert $5m into a further 24.9m Exemplar shares. In addition, Diligenti has warrants for a further 1m shares in Exemplar. The balance of the Diligenti loans to Exemplar shall be used either for the purpose of providing funds for the Diligenti CVA, for the repayment of part of the InterX loan to Diligenti or for additional conversion, where appropriate, into shares in Exemplar. Financial Review Profit and loss account Turnover in Q2 was some £0.5m, of which £0.3m related to licence revenue. Licence revenue included a licence sale to one new customer. The balance represents a combination of support and maintenance income, together with consulting work in respect of our existing customers. Overheads continue to be tightly monitored and are consistent with the previous quarter. The restructuring charge includes an amount of £300,000 in respect of the restructuring made in December 2001. The charge in respect of the restructuring to occur in March 2002 will be made in Q3 and is expected to be in the region of £1.5m. During Q2, additional investment was made in sales and marketing in order to attempt to capitalise on the launch of InterX Net2020. Significant investment was maintained in research and development costs in order to ensure the onward development of InterX Net2020. General and administrative costs include some £650,000 in respect of office costs. As mentioned within the review for Q1's results, the Group's current offices in Brentford ('27 West') have been placed on the market with a view to moving to smaller more appropriate premises. The following provisions have been made and form part of the restructuring charge: • a provision of £1.8m has been made against the rent deposit on 27 West of £5.4m; • a provision of £3.7m has been made against the Group's fixed assets at 27 West on the basis of their impairment; and • a provision of £800,000 in respect of rent on the unoccupied floor space at 27 West for the period to 31 December 2002. The average monthly cash burn rate for Q2 of £1.0m, net of interest, is consistent with the previous quarter. Amortisation of goodwill for the quarter remained at £10.2m. Following a review of goodwill, the Board has decided that, in view of the low level of sales achieved to date and after taking into account projected future sales revenues, goodwill is impaired and accordingly a charge of £122.7m has been made which reflects a revised valuation of £10m. Interest payable reflects our share of interest payable by Diligenti, our associated company. Balance sheet and cash flow Debtors at 30 December 2001 primarily consist of some £17.9m in respect of the £16.3m Diligenti loan together with accrued interest of £1.6m. The Board's financial assessment is that while there are reasonable grounds for concluding that these monies are expected to be recovered in full from Diligenti's interest in Exemplar, there are a number of steps that need to be taken in order to achieve full recovery, some of which are complex. Full recovery is therefore uncertain and accordingly the Board has made a provision of £3.6m to reflect this uncertainty. The cash outflow in respect of creditors due within one year (£7.8m) is expected to be some £2.5m. The balance relates to non cash impacting provisions, including primarily the write back of both deferred consideration in Q3 and rent free period accruals in the relevant periods. In relation to the cash outflow before financing for the quarter of £3.9 million, some £424,000 was in respect of the Diligenti loan and InterX's capital expenditure. Going Concern The Board has reviewed carefully the cash requirements of the Group for the next 12 months. In the absence of the successful assignment of the lease on 27 West, the Group's current cash reserves are anticipated to be sufficient for the Group until the end of August. Thereafter, funds are expected to be generated through the repayment of amounts lent to Diligenti. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis. Conclusion Q2 has seen an encouraging increase in active interest in InterX Net2020 from prospective customers and industry analysts. However, given the lack of success in converting this interest into firm sales orders and our current cash position, the current level of investment in building a brand and sales channel in the current market conditions cannot be justified. The shape of the software business moving forward will be determined after the conclusion of our discussions with potential partners and the completion of the consultation process with our employees. The future position and value of Diligenti to InterX will be determined through the success of the current restructuring of Diligenti. We will report back to shareholders once these have been concluded.

Basis of preparation The comparative figures for the period ended 30 June 2001 have been extracted from the Group's statutory accounts to that date. These accounts received an unqualified audit report, did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or 237(3) of the Companies Act 1985 and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. This interim statement, which is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts, has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies laid down in those statutory accounts. The accounting policies adopted in respect of the period are consistent with those of the previous period. 2 Segmental information During the period the Group operated only in one business segment, namely technology. Turnover, gross profit/(loss) and operating losses for the periods related entirely to operations in the UK. 3. Exceptional items reported before operating loss The restructuring costs arose from redundancy programmes, associated write-downs and other provisions in February 2001 and December 2001. The gain on sale of investment in own shares in 2001 resulted from the sale of shares under option in the InterX Technology Employee Benefit Trust. The goodwill that arose on the acquisition of Cromwell Media has been impaired to a carrying amount of £10m. 4. Exceptional items reported after operating loss The profit on sale of fixed assets relates to the disposal, in October 2000, to the new owners of Ideal, of two properties occupied by Ideal.
