                           INTERNET MUSIC & MEDIA PLC

                    Interim Results for the six months ended

                                 30th June 2002


Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report on the interim results of Internet Music & Media ("the
Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group") for the six month period ended 30th
June 2002.  The results show a loss before taxation of #511,000, compared with a
loss on the same basis of #2,971,000 for the same period last year.



The Company's subsidiaries in Seattle, USA and the United Kingdom sell
electronic dance music on Vinyl and CD though its web site, www.groovetech.com,
which also broadcasts live and archived music from the Group's studios in London
and Seattle, as well as a from a number of live club venues.  A number of styles
of music are catered for, including House, Techno, Drum and Bass, Hip Hop and
Trance.   The site, which has been developed by Groovetech over a two-year
period, offers customers the opportunity to listen to samples before deciding to
purchase and accepts major credit cards in a secure Internet environment.  The
site has won the award for Best Online Retailer at the 2001 UK Online Music
Awards and Best Shopping Website at the 2002 Midemnet Awards.



The Group has experienced consistent revenue growth during the period under
review, continuing the trend set since September 2001.  Monthly revenues have
grown from a low point of #110,000 in September, 2001 (down from #148,000 in
August, 2001) to a new monthly high of #246,000 in August 2002.  This produced
the first profitable and cash generative month in the history of the Group.



The successful launch of the Groovetech membership wish list in January 2002,
which enables customers to order out of stock or collectable items, has enabled
our buyers to more accurately gauge customer demand, resulting in faster
turnaround of inventory and increased margins.



The Directors are very encouraged by the Group's consistent revenue growth and
believe that, in the light of the repeat orders from existing customers and the
growing number of new customers who are buying from the Group each month, the
revenue growth now being experienced will continue for the foreseeable future.
Margins are also continuing to improve, as increasing numbers of items are being
sold in the UK which have been imported from the USA, and vice versa, which
command a premium price.



I hope to be able to confirm this continuing trend when I report next and, in
the meantime, view the prospects for the Group with increasing confidence.

Notes to the Interim Results


1.     Basis of Preparation
The results for the six months ended 30th June 2002 are unaudited and have not been reviewed by the auditors. They
have been prepared on accounting bases and policies that are consistent with those used in preparation of the
financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st December 2001.

The financial statements contained in this report do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section
240 of the Companies Act 1985. The results for the year ended 31st December 2001 were reported on by the auditors and
received an unqualified report. Full accounts for the year ended 31st December 2001 have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies.

3.     Taxation
No taxation is expected to arise on the result for the period.

2.     Dividends
No dividend is proposed for the period ended 30th June 2002.

4.     Loss per share
The loss per share for the six months ended 30th June 2002 has been calculated on the basis of the loss after
taxation for the period of #511,000 and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of
35,464,800. There is no dilutive effect of options due to the fair price of the shares during the period being less
than the exercisable price of these options.
