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.

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.
