Internet Music & Media PLC
("IMM" or "the Company")
Results for the year ended
31st December, 2003
Chairman's Statement
I am reporting the results for Internet Music & Media Plc for the year ended
31st December 2003.
The results for the year under review show a loss before and after taxation for
the Company of #3.2million.
On 28th March 2003 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
with certain investors to provide interim financing. Following this, the
investors provided loans totalling #482,000 during the period March to September
2003. Notwithstanding this additional finance, the Company was unable to stem
the losses incurred by its subsidiaries Groovetech LLC, in the USA and
Groovetech Limited, in the UK and in September 2003 these subsidiaries ceased
operations. Administrative Receivers were subsequently appointed to Groovetech
Limited. As a result the Company's investment in its subsidiary undertakings has
been written down to #nil and consolidated financial statements have not been
prepared.
As a consequence of these developments, the Company asked the Stock Exchange to
suspend trading in its ordinary shares on AIM, pending clarification of its
financial position. The directors are pleased to note that, on 19th March 2004
trading in the company's ordinary shares was restored on AIM.
As disclosed in the Chairman's statement contained in the interim results, the
investors referred to above agreed to provide a further line of credit for a
period of six months. The directors are currently in discussions with the
investors for an extension of these facilities and are confident of securing the
required funding.
Resignation of Directors
During March 2003 Z J Jenkins, B W Pember and D S Rogers resigned as directors
to the company. During October 2003 J W Cunningham resigned as director to the
company. No further appointments have been made since the above resignations.

Notes
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors are of
the opinion that the necessary level of banking and other finance facilities
will continue to be made available to the company to enable it to continue
trading into the foreseeable future. No adjustments have been included in the
financial statements, which may be necessary should these facilities not be made
available.
Consolidation
The accounts do not consolidate the financial statements of its subsidiary
undertakings as their accounting records were transferred to and are held by the
Administrative Receivers.
2. Loss per share
The loss per share has not been calculated due to the events which have occurred
in respect of the company's subsidiary undertakings ceasing to trade during the
year and the information which would be produced would not be comparable in
nature.
3. Dividends
The Directors are not proposing the payment of a dividend in respect of the year
ended 31st December, 2003.
4. Tax on loss on Ordinary Activities
There is no charge to corporation tax due to the net losses incurred during the
year subject to agreement with the Inland Revenue.
Accumulated tax losses have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset.
5. Publication of non-statutory accounts
The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985.
The financial information for the year ended 31st December, 2003, is extracted
from the Group's financial statements to that date which received a qualified
auditor's report, which included the following;
"As fully explained in note 1 no adjustments have been made in respect of the
company no longer being considered as a going concern. In our opinion, provision
for these adjustments should be made.
In addition, as the company is the parent of a plc group, it is required under
s229(1) Companies Act 1985 to prepare consolidated group accounts as at the year
end. Due to a lack of accounting records in respect of the company's subsidiary
undertakings, which have gone into Administrative Receivership during September
2003, group accounts have not been prepared as required by s229(1) Companies Act
1985.
In view of the effect of the above points in our opinion the financial
statements do not give a true and fair view of the state of the company and the
group's affairs as at 31 December 2003 and of the loss of the company and the
group for the year then ended, and have not been prepared in accordance with the
Companies Act 1985".
The Group's financial statements will be filed with the Registrar of Companies
in due course.
The financial information for the year ended 31st December, 2002, is extracted
from the Group's full statutory accounts to that date, which received an
unqualified auditors' report and have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies.
6. Copies of the Report and Accounts will be sent to shareholders on 30th June,
2004 and will be available from the company's registered office from that date.
