 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.
