~~iMagicTV~~LETTER ~~Reports~~TO ~~Second Quarter Results All amounts in U.S. Dollars~~ SHAREHOLDERS

~~SAINT~~All ~~JOHN,~~amounts ~~NEW~~expressed ~~BRUNSWICK,~~are ~~CANADA~~in ~~(September~~U.S. 26, 2002) — iMagicTV (Nasdaq: IMTV and TSX: IMT), a provider of software products that allow telephone companies and other service providers to deliver multi-channel television and interactive media services over high-speed broadband networks, today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2003 ended August 31, 2002dollars.

~~The Company's~~To ~~net~~Our ~~loss~~Valued for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was $4.0 million, or $0.16 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.21 per basic share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the second quarter were $254,000 compared with $803,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease is the result of a weakening in services revenues as customers continue to delay the transition between trials and commercial deployment. Total operating expenses decreased $1.8 million to $3.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $5.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. As of August 31, 2002, iMagicTV had $39.9 million in cash and short-term investments, compared to $43.2 million at the end of the first quarter ended May 31, 2002. Shareholders:

~~About~~ We are ~~iMagicTV~~ concentrating our resources on supporting selected partners with whom we feel we can drive market development and commercial deployments evolving our sales model toward a consortium approach, as customers look to purchase end-to-end solutions. Our two new trial customers in Europe were engaged with Alcatel, one of these select strategic partners. We expect revenues for these two new trials will commence during our third fiscal quarter. Our partner channels are continuing to generate customer activity and we believe we are close to engaging additional customers. In total, we have seven customers, two of which are commercially deployed.

~~Investor~~Sources ~~Relations~~of ~~Contact: Tracy~~Revenues ~~Torena iMagicTV 800-660-0333 ttorena@imagictv.com~~and Revenue Recognition Policy

~~Media~~ Typically, ~~Contact:~~our customers go through several phases prior to proceeding with a commercial deployment of services based on our DTV Manager software. The first phase ~~Rob~~is ~~Begg~~the lab trial where we normally generate minimal service revenues, and do not generate royalty or license revenues. It is during this time that a customer evaluates the technology as it is ~~iMagicTV 800-660-0333 rbegg@imagictv~~installed on its own network, for internal testing and evaluation purposes.~~com~~ We provide technical assistance and consulting services for these evaluations as necessary.

~~-END~~ The -second phase generally involves a market trial, during which the customer's service is provided to a limited number of their "subscribers" who agree to test the service. During the market trial our customers assess the marketability of their service offering based on feedback solicited from their trial customers. We expect to primarily generate professional services revenues during market trials as customers typically engage us in technical and other consulting services during this phase.

Professional services revenue, generated during the first and second phases of deployment — the trial phases, is recognized as services are performed. Non-refundable up-front payments received for the use of our software during the trial phases are generally recognized ratably over the contracted trial period.

The final phase is the commercial deployment of digital television and other interactive media services. Commercial license agreements are generally entered into at the start of this phase and typically include license fees, subscriber royalty fees and annual maintenance fees.

Services revenues are comprised of professional services and annual maintenance and technical support services related to the implementation and integration of our software products. Annual maintenance and technical support revenues are typically equal to a percentage of our customers' initial license fees. Services revenue from professional services to licensees can be based on a time-and-materials framework or a fixed contract for a complete project or installation.

We recognize software licensing revenues in accordance with all applicable accounting regulations, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition", and SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2 with respect to Certain Transactions" and Section 3400 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook. Following the requirements of SOP 97-2, we recognize license revenues when all of the following conditions are met:

•: we have signed a license agreement with the customer;
•: we have delivered the software product to the customer;
•: the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and
•: we believe that collection of these fees is probable.

Revenues derived from license agreements containing multiple deliverables, such as product licenses, maintenance and technical support and other services, are allocated among the various deliverables based on the fair value of each deliverable based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. For arrangements where we cannot establish vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the delivered license portion of the arrangement, we use the residual method to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, for arrangements where we can establish vendor-specific objective evidence for all undelivered elements, which are typically professional services and maintenance, we allocate that value to the revenue relating to the undelivered elements and record the remaining value of the contract as license revenue.

We often negotiate license agreements that allow for the payment of the initial license fee to be made in future instalments over a period of less than a year. The entire license fee is recognized as revenue when a license agreement with a customer has been executed, software delivered and accepted, the license fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the related receivables is deemed probable by management. Revenues recognized in advance of the instalments being due are recorded as an instalment receivable on the balance sheet.

In addition to up-front license fees, our commercial license agreements include provisions for us to receive royalties. Generally, our customers pay these royalty fees either in the form of a non-refundable one-time royalty

payment for a pre-set number of subscribers, a one-time per subscriber activation royalty payment or a combination thereof. Alternatively, a customer may pay an ongoing monthly royalty fee based upon the number of active subscribers at the end of each month. Non-refundable one-time royalty payments for a pre-set number of subscribers are recorded as revenue when it is determined that the software has been delivered and accepted, the collection of the amount is probable and we have no further obligations related to the provision of the royalty license. One-time royalty activation payments are recognized monthly based on the net increase in the number of subscribers at the end of each month. Monthly ongoing royalty fees are recognized monthly based on the total number of active subscribers at the end of each month.

Maintenance and technical support revenues are recognized evenly over the applicable service period, which is usually one year. Revenues derived from professional services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software, are recognized upon performance of the related services.

We expect that a majority of our revenues will be generated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future and that most of our expenses, including labour costs as well as capital and operating expenditures, will continue to be denominated in Canadian dollars. If the Canadian dollar appreciates against the U.S. dollar, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Results of Operations

Three and six months ended August 31, 2002 (second quarter, fiscal 2003) compared to the three and six months ended August 31, 2001 (second quarter, fiscal 2002).

Revenues

Our total revenues decreased to $254,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $803,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $978,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $2.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001.

License Fees. Due to the effects of the prolonged economic downturn and its particular impact on the telecommunications sector (see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks — Industry Risks"), we have not been able to sign any new license agreements in the six months ended August 31, 2002, and, therefore, we did not receive any up-front license fees during this period. In the six months ended August 31, 2001, we recorded license revenue of $522,000 related primarily to the commercial license payment from SaskTel.

Royalty Fees. Our royalty fee revenues decreased to $31,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $37,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and increased to $522,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $118,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The increase for the six months ended August 31, 2002 was the result of non-refundable one-time royalty fees paid in the first quarter by SaskTel in anticipation of their commercial launch. The remainder of our royalty revenues is from Kingston Vision, who is our one commercially deployed customer at August 31, 2002. Kingston had approximately 8,100 subscribers at August 31, 2002.

Services. Our services revenues decreased to $223,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $766,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $456,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $1.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the activities for our customers as they remain in market trials pending a decision to move forward with a commercial deployment. Also included in our services revenues are maintenance fees from our commercially licensed customers. Our maintenance fees decreased to $101,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $246,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $236,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $490,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to two customers no longer receiving maintenance services from us, one of which is Aliant Inc.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased to $411,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $801,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $840,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $1.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease reflects a decrease in customer service and professional services staff to 18 at August 31, 2002 from 34 at August 31, 2001 and the reduced professional services and customer service staff expense allocated to cost of revenues as they devoted their efforts to sales and marketing activities due to the decreased levels of commercial deployment activities by our customers.

Operating Expenses

We undertook a restructuring in November 2001, which resulted in a significant reduction in staff. The full benefit of the cost reductions associated with the decreased staff size is fully realized in the three and six months ended August 31, 2002 compared to the three and six months ended August 31, 2001 as indicated in the following information.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $1.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $2.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $3.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $5.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease reflects a decrease in staff to 10 in sales and 20 in marketing at August 31, 2002 from 18 in sales and 38 in marketing at August 31, 2001 and a decrease in marketing events as we focus on fewer, but more specific, activities that we believe have a higher likelihood to turn into revenue generating opportunities. During the three months ended August 31, 2002, these specific activities included attendance at Supercomm 2002 in June in Atlanta, Georgia, and increased focus on partner channel activities.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $1.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $2.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $4.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease reflects a decrease in staff to 63 at August 31, 2002 from 99 at August 31, 2001 and the streamlining of our products and processes that was implemented during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased to $774,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $1.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $1.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $2.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease reflects a decrease in staff in our finance, human resources and corporate operations departments to 16 at August 31, 2002 from 21 at August 31, 2001. Other savings resulted from a reduction in legal fees related to customer activity, centralizing our financial operations by replacing a key executive position located in the United States with one located in New Brunswick, and a reduction in our stock-based compensation expense related to the retirement of a large amount of our deferred stock-based compensation due to the resignation of an executive during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

We remain committed to manage prudently our cash resources.

Non-Cash Operating Expenses

The following non-cash operating expenses have been incorporated in the operating expense categories to which they relate.

Depreciation. Depreciation increased to $479,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $457,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and increased to $980,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $893,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The increase is due to capital investments made during fiscal 2002 in computer and other equipment and leasehold improvements upon which the depreciation is now being recognized.

Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense decreased to $10,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $101,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $52,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $293,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The reduction is

due primarily to the reduced amount of deferred stock-based compensation after the majority of the deferred expense was retired following the resignation of an executive during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. The deferred stock-based compensation represents the difference between the exercise price of options granted to acquire our common shares and the deemed fair value, for financial reporting purposes, of our common shares on the date of their respective granting. Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the options.

Other Income

Interest income decreased to $154,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $490,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $333,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $1.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease is the result of both lower average interest rates and a lower average balance of excess cash available for investment.

Net Loss

Our net loss decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from a loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $7.3 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $10.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. Our net loss per share decreased to $0.16 per share for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from a loss of $0.21 per share for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and decreased to $0.30 per share for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $0.43 per share for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in our total operating expenses to $3.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2002 from $5.7 million for the three month ended August 31, 2001 and $7.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $12.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At August 31, 2002 we had available funds of $39.9 million compared to $51.9 million at August 31, 2001.

Our cash used in operating activities for the three months ended August 31, 2002 was $3.3 million, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and was $5.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2001. The cash used during the three and six months ended August 31, 2002 was primarily to fund our research and development and sales and marketing efforts. The decrease reflects the streamlining of our products and processes in our research and development group and our product planning group as well as our refocused efforts in sales and marketing.

Our cash used in investing activities, before the purchase or sale of temporary investments, was $29,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 compared to $56,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and was $441,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 compared to $703,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended August 31, 2002 primarily reflects purchases in the first quarter of software used in our architecture and development activities.

Our cash from financing activities was nil for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001. It was $5,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from the exercise of options compared to the use of $70,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2001 for expenses related to our initial public offering in November 2000.

In the current marketplace the timing of the generation of revenue is an uncertainty and is dependent upon our customers' decisions to move forward with a commercial deployment of services based on our software products. To provide the most conservative estimate, which assumes revenue is at nil or a very nominal amount, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash resources to fund operations for approximately the next 24 months from August 31, 2002. If our expenses vary greatly from those that are currently expected, we may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations prior to the end of this 24-month period. In addition, if revenues are not timely generated to the extent necessary to fund operations beyond such 24-month period, we may also be required to raise additional capital to fund our operations. We may attempt to obtain this additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities or borrowings under secured or unsecured loan arrangements. We

can provide no assurance that such capital or financing, if necessary, will be available in a timely manner or on satisfactory terms.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Industry Risk

The telecommunications industry continues to experience significant economic pressure on revenues, earnings and return on investment. In response, telecom companies have made significant reductions in capital spending and are expected to continue this in the short term in many areas of their business including new and emerging services. As a result, we have experienced a longer sales cycle as our customers continue to delay their decision to move from market trials to commercial deployments. This has impacted our ability to earn license revenues which are primarily earned from our customers' commercial deployments.

Because the pressure on revenues for telecom companies is so great, we expect that they will continue market trials until such time as the industry economics improve. Accordingly, our license fee and royalty fee revenues may be significantly delayed, may be less than previously anticipated or may not significantly materialize if customers or potential customers direct their capital spending to areas other than video deployment.

Impact of Interest Rate Exposure

As of August 31, 2002 we had approximately $39.9 million in available funds. A significant portion of the cash earns interest at variable rates. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the level of prevailing interest rates. Interest rates declined over the previous year and a half and as a result we anticipate our average yield earned on surplus funds in fiscal 2003 to be lower than yields earned in fiscal 2002. We do not anticipate this situation to have any short-term material adverse impact on our cash position or financial condition.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rate Exposure

We continue to expect the majority of our revenues will be earned in U.S. dollars, and that a significant portion of our operating expenses and capital expenditures will be in Canadian dollars. Changes in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may result in currency translation gains or losses, which could affect our operating results. We also deal in other foreign currencies; however, we anticipate changes in the exchange rates of these currencies will not have a material impact on our operating results. While we do not hedge our foreign exchange rate exposure with financial derivative instruments, we do maintain a portion of our short-term investment portfolio in Canadian dollar denominated instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of ImagicTV Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

The financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars. They have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which, in all material respects, conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Unless otherwise noted, the interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual financial statements. For further information, reference should be made to the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2002.

The information furnished as at August 31, 2002 and for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001 reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in ImagicTV's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2002, except for the following:

Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments

Effective March 1, 2002, ImagicTV adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3870, "Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments", which requires that a fair value based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to direct awards of stock to employees. The requirements of the new standard are consistent with ImagicTV's accounting policies for these types of transactions as disclosed in ImagicTV's audited annual consolidated financial statements and therefore do not require any adjustment be made. The new section also requires ImagicTV to select an accounting methodology for the accounting for stock-based awards, other than a direct award of stock, granted to employees. ImagicTV's existing accounting policy, as disclosed in the audited annual consolidated financial statements, is the application of the intrinsic method for accounting for employee stock-based awards and is an acceptable methodology under the new handbook section and therefore requires no adjustment. Section 3870 also requires additional disclosures including pro forma earnings and pro forma earnings per share, which are provided in note 5.

3. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

ImagicTV operates in a single reportable operating segment that is to provide software solutions to telecommunications companies and other service providers that enable the delivery of digital broadcast television services to residential subscribers over high-speed Internet Protocol networks. The single reportable operating segment derives its revenue from the sale of software and related services.

As at August 31, 2002, substantially all assets related to ImagicTV's operations were located in Canada. Revenues are attributable to geographic location based on the location of the customer, as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

		Three months ended August 31,				Six months ended August 31,
		2002		2001		2002		2001
Revenues by geographic location:
	Canada	$	59	$	158	$	606	$	810
	Europe		175		118		337		311
	United States		20		467		35		1,229
	Asia		—		60		—		103

		$	254	$	803	$	978	$	2,453

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ImagicTV transacts with certain shareholders or their affiliates who own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of ImagicTV. These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were recorded at the exchange amount. The following table summarizes the related party transactions and balances (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

		Three months ended August 31,				Six months ended August 31,
		2002		2001		2002		2001
Revenues:
	Services	$	89	$	138	$	172	$	153

Related party balances:
	Accounts receivable, trade	$	60	$	143
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		227		290
	Deferred revenues		96		219

5. STOCK OPTIONS

A summary of the status of ImagicTV's options as of August 31, 2002 is as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices	Number of Options	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Number of Options Exercisable
$0.50 – $ 0.64	540,348	2.86	489,235
$0.68 – $ 0.98	1,326,866	5.37	506,754
$1.10 – $ 2.89	1,115,795	4.83	493,527
$7.25 – $11.17	201,988	5.17	60,982

	3,184,997	4.75	1,550,498

In addition to the disclosures relating to ImagicTV's outstanding stock options presented in note 5 (c) of the audited annual consolidated financial statements, the new Canadian accounting standard as described in note 2 requires the disclosure of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if ImagicTV had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method. ImagicTV has elected to disclose pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share as if ImagicTV had accounted for its stock options issued from inception under the fair value method. A summary of the pro forma disclosure and the impact on the consolidated statement of operations is presented in the table below.

	Three Months Ended August 31, 2002			Six Months Ended August 31, 2002
Net loss	$	(3,995	)	$	(7,293	)
Compensation expense related to the fair value of stock options		(54	)		(119	)

Pro forma net loss	$	(4,049	)	$	(7,412	)

Pro forma net loss per share	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.30	)

The fair value of each option granted in the period ended August 31, 2002 has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 130%, risk-free rate of return of 2.5%, and expected terms equal to the option vesting period.

ImagicTV has assumed no forfeiture rate, as adjustments for actual forfeitures are made in the year they occur. The weighted average grant date fair value of options issued in the six months ended August 31, 2002 was $0.73.
