JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 10, 1999--Interactive Multimedia Network, Inc., (OTC BB: IMNI - news) announced today that it has just received its audited financial statements from the accounting firm of Williams and Webster located in Spokane, Washington.
These figures will be included in the company's Form 10-SB which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the week of August 16th.
IMNI also announced today its revenue figures for the quarter ended June, 1999. These figures exceed gross revenue for all of fiscal 1999. On a consolidated basis, including revenue from IMNI's e-marketing sales, and IMNI's subsidiaries, CPM and AutoSmart USA, gross revenue exceeded $ 2 million for the quarter.
More impressively, IMNI announced that AutoSmart USA exceeded one million dollars in gross revenue for the month of July, which in the automotive industry is normally a slow sales month.
