What is happening was slowly going up, past week down 25% Good entry or further down.
I hope the Septics get the $700 billion loan through in the next few days otherwise I can see the FTSE tanking.

Options Cancelled
WOW! . . . an RNS telling the Market they've withdrawn their Options - jolly good, they were a freebie Win-Win which is a charge on retail shareholders.
Let's hope the overpaid-Directors use their own money to buy shares and show some confidence in their own abilities.
Only "we" know that this is a precursor for New Options - at far more easily-achieved levels. . . . Grr, they aren't worth it . . . . . Let them use their own money!
Indeed, it occurs to me that it would be easy to remove some Directors . . . let's start with those that don't buy 50k-worth of stock at these low-levels, between now and Xmas day.
THIS could apply to many other Companies.

Yell sees hard fourth quarter after 9-month sales fall 2 percent
LONDON (Reuters) - Yellow-pages group Yell reported a 2.4 percent decline in nine-month sales at constant exchange rates and a flat core profit on Thursday, and said the current quarter would be tougher.
But the company said its results had been helped by strict control of its operations and its online business and it expected its rate of revenue decline to slow in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, which begins in April.
Like its peers in the local classified directories business, Yell has been caught out by tough credit conditions and a steep decline in advertising spending in the midst of a costly migration from print to digital.
It renegotiated its loan covenants last year.
On Thursday the company said it expected full-year adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to rise about 10 percent to over 800 million pounds, a decline of 2 percent at constant currencies.
It had previously forecast broadly flat core earnings.
"The economic trends in each of our markets show no current sign of returning to growth, and the fourth quarter will undoubtedly be tougher," Chief Executive John Condron said.
Yell operates in Britain, the United States and Spain -- some of the countries hardest hit by the global financial crisis -- as well as Latin America.
Its net debt was 4.3 billion pounds at the end of December, up from 3.8 billion nine months earlier, and 4.7 times annualised pro forma adjusted EBITDA.

Yell leaps on relaxed covenant rumours:
Yell leaps on relaxed covenant rumours
By Neil Hume
Published: April 4 2009 03:00 | Last updated: April 4 2009 03:00
Yell , owner of the Yellow Pages, was the standout feature among the small caps yesterday. Shares in the directories group leapt 42 per cent to 21p in heavy volume on rumours that its lenders had agreed to relax banking covenants. There was also talk the company could sell one of its overseas businesses to help pay down debt.
Sector watchers were sceptical. They noted that Yell, whose net debt stands at 4.3bn against a market value of just 160m, renegotiated its interest cover covenants in October to give it 20 per cent headroom against forecasts.
However, if trading has deteriorated, traders said the company might seek a further relaxation in its lending terms.

I think it rose last week because of good all round sentiment on stocks, and a rumour of a take over.

LONDON, April 8 (Reuters) - British yellow-pages company Yell is not about to appoint experts to help it restructure its debt, a company source said on Wednesday, denying a report that helped drive its shares higher this week.
The source described the report in the Independent on Sunday, which said the company was understood to be mulling appointing experts to ease the terms of its 4.3 billion-pound ($6.3 billion) debt burden, as "wide of the mark".
Yell, whose print business is suffering from consumers' shift online as well as a steep downturn in classified advertising, renegotiated its loan covenants late last year and said in February it still had 20 percent headroom.

i've noticed with this share people talk abouts its debt to market value which is scary but not half as scary as TW. which has rescheduled its debts. YELL is a very good recovery play, better to compare debt to profits - looks much rosier and a more realistic comparison. No divi for a few years but should see excellent growth on your investment once the green shoots appear - all imo.

What could it possibly be that makes Yell a good candidate to be purchased by Google?
"Yell has lost almost half its value in the last 11 months and certainly looks more attractive now as a takeover candidate," is what a UK based trader says.
There have been no official pronouncements from Yell, but rumors suggest a 500 pence-per-share bid.

Right ---time to give it a rest it's boring! Yell and it's fortunes-takeover or turn around is much more interesting--something is cooking imo.
Clubman well done on selling out before this recession kicked in if I'd done as well as you I think I'd just be sitting back drinking a nice G&T and enjoying the good life!
instead I'm in rainy Devon hoping my investments have hit gold to make back last years losses!!

Broker concensus is leaning towards being bullish now.
Was taken back by the 2 Strong Buy recos on the stock.
Obviously a lot of brokers are waiting for near term results (neutral cases) but things are certainly looking up from a analyst view.

Yell and Google form strategic alliance to bring search marketing services to UK SMEs - 14 May 2009
Yell to deliver a break through managed service solution to expand search engine marketing sector
Yell, the international directories business, and Google today announce a strategic alliance to provide sophisticated, managed search marketing services to Yells base of more than 450,000 UK SMEs. The alliance will involve Yell becoming a Google AdWords Authorised Reseller.
The agreement will strengthen Yell's position as a leading source of new business leads and sales enquiries for UK businesses. It will give Yells SME customers access to Googles base of millions of UK users through an innovative managed service platform developed by Yell that simplifies the delivery of Googles AdWords product to SMEs. The platform, under development for a year, automates many of the labour intensive ad creation, bid optimisation and campaign management functions that have presented barriers to the adoption of search by busy UK SMEs.
Mark Canon, president of new media at Yell in the UK, said: This is a significant milestone in the execution of our business strategy to be the leading market maker in the provision of sales leads for UK businesses.
Yell is delighted to be working with Google in an agreement that will bring benefits to both companies. It combines Yells expertise in local advertising, our position of trust and our close working relationship with more than 450,000 UK business advertisers with Google's market leading AdWords search marketing programme and large base of users.
Matt Brittin, director of Google UK, said: In these tough economic times, Yell will now be able to offer the benefits of targeted, accountable and cost effective online advertising via Adwords to thousands of small businesses in the UK. Many such businesses already use Google Adwords to reach new customers locally, nationally or internationally. We look forward to working with Yell to help more UK businesses capitalise fully on the online opportunity.
Yell's Search Marketing Service, which launches this week and will be sold by Yells 2,000 strong sales force, is part of a wider strategy to make leads from all online sources accessible to Yell advertisers. The service also signals a shift to more flexible open ended contract services for Yell advertisers, offering them an alternative to fixed fee annual contracts. This allows Yell to compete more proactively for advertiser spend in local and regional press media.
The Search Marketing Service for Google AdWords is the second product launch from Yell involving sale of inventory beyond Yells own portfolio of Yellow Pages, Yell.com and 118 24 7. Yell has already launched an ad network product, netReach, providing Yell advertisers with access to consumers across a business vertical and geo-targeted network of UK sites. The service has been well received by existing and new customers to Yell.

Sales havent fallen below the critical mark set by analysts, banking covenants are covered and the company is throwing off cash.
This could be the start of a strong run upwards.
Suprised we havent got more comment here.

Having some knowledge of the directory industry, like many I thought the precipitous share price drop at Yell (YELL) was overdone, and particularly at the 12p or so it sank to, it looked an absolute no brainer bargain. Many other investors clearly thought so too, and the share price has recovered dramatically this year
But today perhaps provided an insight into the underlying problems still faced by the group, after the Yellow Pages publisher announced annual pre-tax losses of GBP1bn down from a profit of GBP310m last time, on revenues up to GBP2.4bn from GBP2.2bn last time. The losses came as a result of impairments at its operations in South America and Spain and restructuring charges, but the group also expects to revenue to fall 11 percent in the first quarter of the new year, and for EBITDA to fall 20 percent. As a results of the ongoing economic uncertainty, Yell said it will provide guidance one quarter ahead during the fiscal year 2010. After the numbers an analyst said that while the results are in line, the Q1 guidance looks poor, and for no news to be provided on the debt position is a negative

The 1bn loss in Spain is nothing to shout about, but chart wise while above the 200 day moving average at 41p on a weekly close there is a chance of a retest of May resistance above 55p.

This financial commentator is one of the best in the business....he writes in the London Evening Standard and is well respected....at last we are getting something positive to read about and based on reality....
This Yells still in with a shout of success
Anthony Hilton
Yell, the media company behind the Yellow Pages directories, is a story of our time. Unglamorous and unloved by parent British Telecom, it was sold a decade ago, given the private-equity treatment and sold back to the stock market carrying a mountain of debt.
All was well in the good times, and the shares soared. But that mountain became a millstone when the credit cycle turned, the economy went flat and investment fashions changed. When analysts could not have too much debt, Yell was an icon; now it is deeply unpopular, and its shares are down 90% or so from the high. But it is still the same business.
Today it announced its figures and lost its chairman Bob Scott not because of anything happening in the business but because he is the same Bob Scott who was a non-executive director of Royal Bank of Scotland and therefore tarred by association with everything from Sir Fred Goodwin's pension to the subprime debacle. He is also the same Bob Scott whom I remember as an astute and personable leader of Commercial Union, now part of Aviva, but that does not seem to count these days.
Now one can see why some institutional investors should want anyone associated with RBS never to darken a boardroom door again and particularly Legal & General Investments, which was badly treated when it tried to raise concerns about Sir Fred. But does that mistake really mean none of those directors can serve elsewhere?
Given the importance of a good relationship between chairman and chief executive in any company, is it actually in Yell's interests for the company subjected to all the uncertainty of change over an issue that has nothing to do with Yell's business? One can understand why it has happened but that does not make it right.
Yell is also a story of our time because it needs to make money from the internet. Bears say its directories are dead because everything soon will go online. The truth is its directories have a lot of life left in them yet, and its online versions are growing fast. Rupert Murdoch may struggle to get people to pay for the Wall Street Journal, and Pearson toils likewise with FT.com, but John Condron has cracked it and is slowly migrating Yell's business to the web.
All this is ignored, however, because of the assumption that Yell's debt will sink it. As revenues contract because of the recession, it will breach its banking covenants and the plug will be pulled. The only hope for the company, analysts queue up to say, is a massive rights issue or a debt-for-equity swap,
either of which would be horrible for existing shareholders. But that is no longer how the world works. Banks don't pull the plug on businesses that can still pay their bills. Banks have so many more serious problems they tolerate breaches of covenants, provided the money is still there to meet the interest charge. With Yell, it is so far. Yell says it is going to tough it out and the banks are backing it.
All the evidence from the past says that the companies which do well in a recovery are those which continue to invest and upgrade their business through the recession. If Yell makes it to the other side, it should clean up.
Given Condron's ability to do what he says he will, there are worse bets in the markets.

I know what you mean, but in this case Yell actually closed at below what was achievable just prior to the day's closing. In any event as I have not sold the profit is only on paper, but if I had sold 11.21% or slightly more would have been my gain.

dont worry, i've noticed he does it on several on other threads getting it totally wrong......he's probably a spotty 14 year old playing truant with nothing better to do.
and he stays quiet when it does go up. he doesnt tip anything to do well, just looks for ones that go down lots and then he's in saying its doomed
never mind, he's doing homework now and having biscuits and horlicks before bed at 9

good evening to you
why not suggest C3509 go over to Lloyds thread and read it thoroughly and then make up his own mind, which i am sure he is capable of doing without your help.
good luck to you all

Yes, Yell especially is looking like a case of a higher low at the 50 day moving average of 28p. Above this the target should be towards the post February 50p plus resistance zone.

It would appear that the Naked Trader (Robbie Burns) if true to his word will have closed out this morning.....
taken from his site wednesday......
"The Yell short goes well though maybe I should have grabbed profits when it hit close to the target of 50! Still a decent profit there now. However I'll be taking profits on these fast if there is any new upward momentum".......... ends.
http://www.nakedtrader.co.uk/
Well weve certainly got new upward momentum this morning.
Just wonder how fast his supporters are closing their shorts behind him?.

Coud be very good for YELL and its internet business. Advertising recovery to begin in 2010 and advertising expected to outperform the economy during the recovery ..........
ADVERTISING TO RECOVER IN 2010 AFTER UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS
Telegraph Busines -- by Rupert Neate -- 8th December 2009
ZenithOptimedia, the media buyer owned by French advertising group Publicis, said it expects global advertising expenditure to have dropped 10.2% over the course of 2009.
However, it said the worst is behind us and spending on adverts is likely to increase next year (2010).
The company raised its forecast for growth in 2010 by 0.4% points to 0.9%, to $447.7 billion (272 billion). It is the first time that ZenithOptimedia has raised its 2010 outlook in 18 months.
"It is normal for ad expenditure to exaggerate general economic trends - when the economy shrinks, ad expenditure shrinks faster, and by more. The corollary to this is that when recovery is complete, we can expect the ad market to outperform the economy as a whole".
Zenith predicts the recovery will take some time, predicting 3.9% growth in 2011 and 4.8% in 2012.
The internet benefitted from an increase in advertising spending, with the downturn "accelerating the structural shift in budgets from traditional media to the internet".
Zenith predicts the internet will overtake newspaper advertising by 2015.

YELL is certainly not going to do well soon as retail will be due for a downturn and advertising will of course suffer...
More bad news for the rest of 2010
So what about the rest of 2010? Well, Next boss Wolfson certainly isn't convinced by this year-end, last minute, pre-VAT rise buying spree. The trouble is that Britain is still too heavily indebted. "One way or another, the country has to start repaying the public sector deficit", he says.
"That means three potential threats to consumer recovery: higher direct taxes, lower government spending, which could reduce employment, and increases in indirect taxes, which would push up inflation and interest rates".
None of these is good news for retailers. That's reflected in his forecast that like-for-like sales at Next's high street stores will be between 3% down and 1% up next year.
Marks & Spencer had a similarly glum attitude. In yesterday's trading statement, it admitted that same-store sales in the third quarter had grown by a less-than-thrilling 0.8%. And M&S supremo Sir Stuart Rose was hardly upbeat about the future.
Consumer spending this year will reflect "continuing economic uncertainty", he told Bloomberg. "We had a pretty good Christmas, but it's going to be tougher next year (i.e. in 2010)".
He's right to be concerned. Consumers are already starting to feel less cheery. Yesterday's Nationwide consumer confidence survey saw its biggest fall in more than a year. The 'expectations' index, which gauges what consumers believe will happen over the next six months, also fell sharply.
More bad news for the rest of 2010
So what about the rest of 2010? Well, Next boss Wolfson certainly isn't convinced by this year-end, last minute, pre-VAT rise buying spree. The trouble is that Britain is still too heavily indebted. "One way or another, the country has to start repaying the public sector deficit", he says.
"That means three potential threats to consumer recovery: higher direct taxes, lower government spending, which could reduce employment, and increases in indirect taxes, which would push up inflation and interest rates".
None of these is good news for retailers. That's reflected in his forecast that like-for-like sales at Next's high street stores will be between 3% down and 1% up next year.

UBS says it has increasing confidence in the directories group as moves its recommendation from neutral. Price target goes to 60p a share from 48p and broker says: 'Despite being one of the most highly leveraged stocks in the sector, on >5x net debt/ EBITDA, and having removed the balance sheet risk that threatened to wipe out equity holders, Yell's performance since the March 2009 lows lagged most other cyclicals, underperforming the sector by 20% over the year. With lower share price volatility, comfort on the balance sheet and perhaps pent up demand for the stock given the refinancing occurred so late in 2009 (short i.nterest also remains high at c10%), we expect this underperformance to reverse early in 2010.'

Buy Yell (YELL) at 39.475p 21/Jan/2010
Says cautious, long-term blue chip investor Robert Sutherland Smith of UK350.com.
Yellow is a colour with some unappealing associations; yellow fever, the yellow streak. We can include the yellow brick road on the basis that the Wizard of Oz had much in common with Fred Goodwin. To this sad roll call of yellows we may add the Yellow Group Plc (YELL) as one of the nation's most dismal equity performers. It is of course the company that supplies the famous Yellow Pages business and service directories.
The Yellow Group is a one time growth story gone horribly wrong. Too many acquisitions and too much debt with little of net tangible worth for ordinary shareholders in the balance sheet with which to support a share price that has been falling like an alpine mountainside since early 2007. Then the share price reached a peak of a penny under 600p, clocking up a 329p gain in the preceding five years. By
late 2008 everything had gone wrong with it. A notable too highly geared company
linked to the retreating advertising market, with large numbers of suddenly
dating, printed business directories in a new digital, internet age, the share
price only stopped falling when it halted at 12p. It recovered to 80p but
recently relapsed to half that price. So at 39.475p, I think the time has come
to look at its prospects once more.
First, this is still a business with sales revenue last year worth over 2.4
billion pounds: more than two and a half times the current market capitalisation
of its equity at 920 million pounds. Even if, as is the case, that revenue may
be predicted to shrink a bit in forward estimates of performance, it is still a
huge disparity.
Second, following the rights issue last November, the company offers considerably more underlying equity value than it did previously, although remaining highly geared. The next and first post' rights issue balance sheet for the year to 31 March 2010 will be published In the first quarter of next year. We know that it will have the benefit of some 650 million pounds of gross new capital; an amount that is 70% of the current market capitalisation. If this new capital is shown as cash in the balance sheet, it means on a crude pro forma basis that the shares are selling on an estimated forward share price to cash multiple of well under two times. However, part of that cash will inevitably be put to work in the business either as replacement of debt, new working capital, or investment. The company's enterprise value could grow to an estimated 6.5 billion pounds assuming that it is not used to pay down debt. At 6.5 billion pounds the enterprise value will be some seven times the current market value of the equity. In good trading times, advantageous gearing for equity holders. Shareholder funds should roughly double, on my estimate, to about 1.2 billion pounds representing an estimate of some 51p a share. In other words, the equity is selling at a circa 23% discount to shareholder equity assets.
Third, the interim results to 31 March last, prior to the rights, offered some attractions. Although reported revenue fell 4% and ebitda (what I call trading profit) dropped 14% to GBP297 million, operating cash actually rose 18% to GBP400 million and free cash stood at GBP225 million. The loveliness of a thing sometimes alters with perspective. From the perspective of a depressed equity market capitalisation of 920 million pounds those first six months numbers look wonderfully attractive at 3 times (six months only) ebitda, 2.3 times the six months only operating cash and 4 times six months free cash. If that is not remarkable equity value, then I will eat my hat, as they used to say when men obviously consumed hats, before Health and Safety forbade the practice.
Forward estimates
for the current year to 31 March 2010 two months to go expect last year's reported pre tax loss of 1 billion pounds to be transformed into a pre tax profit of 204 million pounds and an estimated 225 million pounds next year. The related earnings per share are estimated at 13.6p for this year falling to a smaller post rights 8.7p next year. That puts the shares on forward price earnings ratios of
2.9 times and 4.5 times respectively. With these shares at the bottom of the
company's now improving fortunes and the advertising market cycle, Yellow equity
looks ripe for recovery and excellent long term investment returns. BUY.

Sanjeev Shah, manager of Fidelity Special Situations, used stockmarket options to protect the 3 billion fund against market falls two months ago but is relaxing the strategy as he sees the market has become 'oversold'.
Shah, who succeeded Anthony Bolton two-and-a-half years ago, said he bought a FTSE put option giving him the right to sell the index at specified 'strike' price to provide protection if the market fell, which it duly did as the Greek's financial woes turned into a eurozone crisis.
Shah said the cost of the put purchase had been funded by selling a call 'higher up' the FTSE and buying a put 'lower down' the index. The money made from these meant the net result was protection for the fund at zero cost, he said. Figures from Lipper appear to back this up as Special Situations has gained 3.3% over the past month, placing it thirteenth out of 310 funds in the UK All Companies sector. The average fund in the sector is flat over the period.
Speaking at the Fidelity FundsNetwork Investment Forum in London, Shah added he had closed 40% of this protection in recent days as 'market is getting oversold'.
Shah also revealed he had invested a 'large chunk' of his own money into the fund yesterday.
He anticipated a 'change of leadership in the market place' but said going forward it would not be led by commodity stocks.
Shah, who has continued the fund's focus on overlooked stocks and value investing, said the current turmoil was generating lots of stock picking opportunities. This week he has exploited a big fall in the share price of Yell by buying more stock. The Yellow Pages publisher has been a favourite stock since it restructured and raised money via a rights issue last year.
He has devoted 5% of the fund to recently gained powers to short stocks, mostly against miners. He admitted he had taken the position too early but said it had started to come good.

Shah, who succeeded Anthony Bolton two-and-a-half years ago, said he bought a FTSE put option giving him the right to sell the index at specified 'strike' price to provide protection if the market fell, which it duly did as the Greek's financial woes turned into a eurozone crisis.
Shah said the cost of the put purchase had been funded by selling a call 'higher up' the FTSE and buying a put 'lower down' the index. The money made from these meant the net result was protection for the fund at zero cost, he said. Figures from Lipper appear to back this up as Special Situations has gained 3.3% over the past month, placing it thirteenth out of 310 funds in the UK All Companies sector. The average fund in the sector is flat over the period.
Speaking at the Fidelity FundsNetwork Investment Forum in London, Shah added he had closed 40% of this protection in recent days as 'market is getting oversold'.

BROKER CALL: Life in the Yell business model - Merrill
24 May, 2010 06:55:30 AM
Bank of America does its post results analysis and concludes there is still some life in the business model of the directories group. Rates the stock a buy with a 54p a share price target (current price 35p). Analyst Richard Menzies-Gow tells us: 'As we had hoped, Yell's first Investor Day for three years provided ample evidence to suggest the business can yet survive the current maelstrom of cyclical and structural pressures. Yell is well advanced in repositioning itself from product-centric publisher to marketing solutions provider for SMEs, and benefits to retention rates and ARPA are already apparent. The group's technological
expertise and scale benefits should not be underestimated, while its sales force remains a key strategic asset. As it expands its product and service offering, Yell's addressable market is growing.'

but I may now close this position gaining a small 620 profit no need to be greedy I suppose.

I have been looking at these with a view to getting onboard, recent directors' buys were at 34/35p so looks a reasonable entry point at todays level (28.75p ish). Most broker recommendations over recent months have been bullish with tp's of 54p or so, since then the sp has fallen further (shows how much they know)

by Rosamund Urwin / standard:
'Takeover rumours provided excitement in the markets for a second day, with Yell and Autonomy the major beneficiaries.
The mutter from the gutter was that a suitor is lining up a bid at 30p a pop for debt-laden Yellow Pages publisher, Yell. Whispers named private equity as the possible predator.
The rumour pushed Yell to the top of the FTSE 250 leaders board, with its shares surging 1.5p to 17.2p as almost 15million changed hands by 11.30am yesterday - more than are normally traded in a whole day .'

YELL 16.07 ( 16.05 / 16.09p )
Today's closing Candlestick - Long Legged DOJI, could signal the end of the retracement an a reversal of the trend.
BULLISH LONG LEGGED DOJI
Type: Reversal
Relevance: Bullish
Prior Trend: Bearish
Long Legged Doji is a doji characterized with very long shadows. It shows the indecision of the buyers and sellers. It is one of the important reversal signals.
Recognition Criteria:
1. Market is characterized by a bearish mood and downtrend.
2. Then we see a Doji that gaps in the direction of the downtrend.
3. The real body is either a horizontal line or it is significantly small.
4. Both of the upper and lower shadows are long and they are almost equal in length.

OIL - not entirely sure you're right sticky, as everything one reads indicates that with or without libya, the world is burning more oil than it is producing ..... to my mind, that indicates that "proper" companies like AFR, TLW, PMO etc become ever more enticing targets ..... mug punters also think that applies to E&P companies with prospects of questionable value but nothing actually found, or the likes of HAWK and EOG that produce 3 barrels a day, which of course it does not

Yellow pages publisher Yell reported group revenue of 1.877bn for the year to end-March, down 12.4% on the prior year. Profit after tax of 46.7m was down 0.1m.
Digital media revenue grew 9.4% to 457m or 24.3% of revenue (2010 - 19.6%).
Print revenues fell by 18.6% to 1.317bn.
EBITDA of 513.6m was down 106.0m.
Free cash flow was 264.7m, while net debt fell by 329.5m to 2.765bn.
Digital media advertisers grew by 4.5% to 902,000 and digital media average revenue per advertiser was up by 9.2% to 528.
Live customer websites increased by 192,000 to 230,000.
Internet Yellow Pages visitors were at 55.8m in March.
Print advertisers were down by 9.4% to 1,195,000 and print revenue per advertiser was down by 9.9% to 1.063bn.
Mike Pocock, CEO, said: 'In the face of ongoing tough market conditions, we have continued to make good progress with our digital media offering, bringing new products to the market, increasing consumer usage and increasing revenues. Our market positions in print remain strong and print revenues, though still under pressure, continue to generate significant cash flow. Over the year, Yell has generated over 260m of cash and reduced net debt by almost 330m.
'Our strategic review is now well advanced and our extensive and thorough work to date strengthens the confidence we expressed in February. We will leverage our key assets, primarily our strong brands and customer relationships, to benefit from the large and fast growing digital market. We will provide new services and solutions that both cement our place as a champion of the SME and provide material new value to the consumer. Partnerships with key players will play an important part in accelerating this growth. Our strong market positions and profitable businesses in print and local search will nevertheless remain important for some time. Our existing operating model will also be strengthened and streamlined on a group wide basis to support these new opportunities.
'The digital marketplace is already twice the size of the total print market and some ten times larger than the segments of the print market Yell traditionally addressed. Small shares of this fast growing and highly fragmented market can mean very significant, profitable growth. This is what we intend to deliver, whilst nurturing our print business for the strong cash flows it will continue to provide for years to come.
'We look forward to presenting our strategy conclusions in early July which will demonstrate why we believe Yell can look forward to a good and prosperous future.'

Microsoft Corp. and Yell Group have announced plans to form a broad, global strategic alliance, taking advantage of their complementary strengths and expertise in the delivery of innovative online advertising and business solutions to assist small businesses.
Yell currently provides print and digital marketing services to over 1.3 million customers across the United States, United Kingdom, Spain and Latin America.
Capitalizing on the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance and the growing consumer audience of Bing and Yahoo! Search, Microsoft and Yell will join forces to offer compelling search, mobile and local advertising solutions to small and medium businesses and to make the most of emerging business models delivered through the cloud.
Under the plans, Yell will also offer the full suite of Microsoft's SMB productivity and business software and cloud services, including Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and emerging SMB-focused communications solutions. In addition, Microsoft will assist Yell to accelerate its new cloud-based services, which will provide Yell's customers with access to these new digital offerings.
Thomas Hansen, vice president of SMB Worldwide at Microsoft, said, "Yell Group has one of the largest dedicated sales forces partnering with small and medium sized businesses and provides customers with valuable, locally focused internet directories that see over 50 million unique visitors per month.
"We are very excited about our plans to form a strategic alliance with Yell, as it offers us a way to better reach and serve small and medium sized businesses across the globe."

Yell announces a strategic alliance with Microsoft to offer SMEs a range of digital solutions, including search, local & mobile advertising (through Bing and Yahoo!Search) as well as the full suite of Miocrosofts productivity and business software and cloud services, including Office 365, Dynamics CRM.
This alliance is in addition to the existing partnership Yell already has in place with Google, and is part of the broader objective of increasing the groups digital revenues to offset ongoing print decline.
It comes a day after Yell announced the US$18 million acquisition of e-commerce platform, Znode, and comes before this Thursday, when the new management team will be setting out its new strategy to a City audience.
The news momentum is clearly building ahead of this Thursdays investor day.
However, we remind investors that the groups business remains in a difficult position. It is exposed to some of the worst performing mature economies in the world (UK, USA, Spain), as well as a classified advertising business in long-term decline, with no bottom yet in sight (the company is still declining at double-digit rates). On top of that, the groups 2.8 billion debt makes its balance sheet highly fragile.
Until we see some firm evidence of underlying improvement in the groups financial performance, we maintain our HOLD recommendation and 7p target price.

Mike Pocock, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Trading in the quarter continued in line with recent trends and market expectations. Our new digital services revenues have continued to grow strongly and are now running at an annualised rate of GBP121m, up 29% from GBP94m in Q4 of last year. Print trends were broadly unchanged and the weakness in digital directories reported in Q4 has continued. We have continued to take cost out of the business, whilst investing selectively to support future growth. EBITDA and cash flow for the quarter fell, reflecting these points. The Group nevertheless repaid GBP134.8m of debt, ending the quarter with cash balances of GBP141.9m. For the full year, EBITDA expectations are unchanged.
Yell has a strong position in the local market place. The new strategy that we announced last week will leverage our assets and those of our partners to capitalise on the convergence of consumer and SME needs in the digital world. Yell intends to become the leading SME digital services provider and will bring consumers and SMEs together to establish a new local online market place ("eMarketplace"). The impact of these initiatives, coupled with cost savings of GBP100m over the next two years, will return the Group to profitable growth. I look forward to reporting progress on this transformation."
Forward looking statement
This news release contains a forward-looking statement regarding Yell's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, Yell's results of operations, revenue, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, new products, the level of new directory launches and the markets in which Yell operates. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and involves risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. These factors include any adverse change in regulations, unforeseen operational or technical problems, the nature of the competition that Yell will encounter, wider economic conditions including economic downturns and changes in financial and equity markets. Readers are advised to read pages 16 to 25 in Yell Group plc's annual report for the financial year ended 31 March 2011. Yell undertakes no obligation publicly to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
Risk Statement
Yell's risks and uncertainties include strategic and operational risks faced by Yell's businesses; debt and financing risks faced in funding Group operations and the financial reporting and related risks faced in reporting Yell's results. The new strategic direction for the Group may have a positive influence on these uncertainties. However, there is a risk that in the future the Group would need to reset its financial covenants with, or obtain a waiver from, its lenders, either of which would require a two thirds majority vote.
The financial covenants are disclosed on page 21 of Yell Group plc's Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2011. A discussion of the risks associated with the debt covenants is presented on pages 19 to 21 of Yell's annual report for the financial year ended 31 March 2011, a copy of which is available on Yell's website at http://www.yellgroup.com.
If the Group was required but not able to reset its financial covenants with, or obtain a waiver from, its lenders such that undertakings to the Group's lenders were breached, the lenders' facility agent may, and must if directed by two thirds of lenders (by reference to debt held) demand immediate repayment of all amounts due to them. Whilst this eventuality would, if it arose, cast doubt on the future capital funding of the Group, the Group's cash flow forecasts show that in the twelve months ending 30 June 2012 interest payments will be fully met, with further cash generated to repay debt.
The Group is in full compliance with the financial covenants and undertakings contained in all its borrowing agreements. The Group is cash generative and profitable.

re - if you pick up enough shit, eventually you may find a pound coin - cynic -
You must be talking by experience, it shows on almost all the threads you do post ( shit on your face since born, mother most likely had Diarrhea at the same time ).
For me shares are for trading and returns of 16% ( 7.40 -- 8.60p ) on less than 48 hours, are not the type of trades many investors get in this "moneyam" place and certainly not you, because you want to play safe and for that you put the money on the bank and get nothing.
My trade was at the second wave at 7.40p not 11p and as usual got it perfectly as the shares had 3 days of steady rise, so able to get in and also out on the process down.
Post 391 says nothing and just covering your ARSE so talking both ways can go up or can go down,

Microsoft vet Scott Moore joins U.K. ad firm Yell Group
Microsoft and Yahoo veteran Scott Moore has joined Yell Group, a U.K. ad publisher, as its chief digital officer.
Moore, who was most recently executive producer for Microsofts MSN, will head up a new Seattle office to serve as a central hub for Yells global digital development activities.
Yell provides print and online advertising and marketing services for small and medium-size enterprise (SME) customers, but has seen revenue from print advertising drop off in recent years.
Moore's position is a new one for the company, as it shifts away from print advertising to create an eMarketplace, an online platform and portal that connects consumers and SMEs.
The U.K. firm already has a partnership with Microsoft. Yell uses Microsofts cloud-computing tools, including Office 365, in its eMarketplace, and says the results from its online directory appear on Microsofts Bing search engine.
Yell said Moore will be responsible for the creation and development of new digital products and products, reporting directly to Yell CEO Mike Pocock.
"Scott is a highly regarded senior executive with vast experience in building and turning around digital and online properties, said Pocock in a statement. At Yell, he will develop and execute the new products and services that will enable our more than 1.3 million SME customers and their consumers to take full advantage of the digital opportunity.
Moore said SMEs are typically underserved when it comes to digital services, but believes Yell has all the credentials to target that audience.
"I'm hugely excited by the opportunity to shape and lead the realisation of Yell's digital vision, which stands at the intersection of local, mobile and social, he said.
Prior to Microsoft, Moore was the senior vice president and head of media at Yahoo and held senior management positions at Expedia Travel. Moore is also the former publisher of Slate, Microsofts online magazine.

Yell asks lenders to back debt term amendements
Harry Wilson, 20:24, Monday 14 November 2011
Yell has asked its lenders to agree to amendments on the terms of the directories' company's 2.6bn debt pile as it looks at way to reduce and refinance its burden.
A lenders memorandum sent out on Monday by Yell set out a series of proposals, including a debt buy back and increased flexibility on its loan covenants designed to help it reduce its indebtedness.
Lenders have been asked to agree by the end of the month to give the company 20pc of headroom on a net debt-to-earnings covenant until 2014 so that it will have more flexibility to refinance its loans with new bond issues, including sales of high-yield debt.
As part of its plans, Yell wants to buy back 108m of its loans at a discount to their par value in order to cancel them and reduce its debt pile. This process is expected to begin immediately if, as expected, lenders agree to the amendments to the loan terms. They will then be asked to declare the price at which they are prepared to sell Yell's debt.
"Yell's new strategy offers real opportunity for value. Yell is building a unique position in the online market, with real potential for growth and cash generation," said Neil Woodford, a fund manager at Invesco (NYSE: IVZ - news) , a shareholder in Yell.
Last week, Yell reported its interim results for the six months to the end of September, which showed a 12pc year-on-year decline in revenues to 787m.
Revenues from its core print directories business fell by nearly 20pc to 551m, while its digital services operation reported a 149pc increase in revenues to 63.6m.
Mike Pocock, chief executive of Yell, described trading conditions as "increasingly difficult", but said the company's performance was "in line" with expectation.

Yell announces that its Chairman, Bob Wigley, has today acquired an interest in Yell's senior debt of US$ 1million face value for an amount of approximately 200,000 and bought 2,610,000 Yell shares in the market, at a price of 0.0385 representing 0.11% of Yell's issued share capital.

Bob Wigley said:
"When I became Yell's Chairman, I was convinced that, with the right leadership, Yell's business had huge potential and that it could manage its debt structure. Having now recruited a world class management team and finalised exciting plans to realise that potential, I am convinced about the strength of the company. I am now backing my conviction by making a further substantial investment in the company."

guardian.co.uk, Monday 14 November 2011
Yell seeks to buy back debt and renegotiate loan terms
Yell Group, the telephone directories business struggling under a 2.6bn debt pile, is hoping to spend 160m buying back its own bonds and is looking to renegotiate the terms of its loan for the second time in two years.
The Yellow Pages borrowed heavily to fund European expansion but has seen its print revenues decline steadily against tough competition from Google. As chief executive Mike Pocock attempts to turn Yell into an online business, and revenues continue to decline, the company is in danger of breaching covenants unless lenders agree to increase headroom.
The company said in a statement to investors: "None of the alternative strategies available, for example running the existing business for cash or selling off part of the business, provide any real chance for Yell to be able to repay its debt.
"In each of these alternatives, given its dependence on print, the business remains in terminal decline with major adverse consequences for cash generation and for the ability to raise new capital."
Yell said on Monday it would meet the 31 December covenant test, when debt must be no more than 5.99 times pre-tax profits. Earnings stood at 513.6m at full-year results in March, meaning its debt at the time of 2.77bn gave a debt to earnings ratio of 5.38:1.
The covenant has already tightened sharply from June, when it stood at over 7.50:1. By Christmas 2012 it is due to drop to 4.85:1, before ending at 3.66 in June 2014, when the loan is due to be repaid. Yell is asking for headroom of 6.25:1 this December, 6.00:1 in December 2012 and 4.50:1 by June 2014.
Lenders are being asked to approve the plan by 30 November. For the plan to be agreed, two thirds of lenders by value must vote in favour. As a carrot, Yell is promising that if leverage exceeds 4.60:1 by March 2013, lenders will receive a fee of 2% of their holding.
The company is also offering to increase the amount it spends buying back its own corporate bonds by over 50m to 159.5m, and to reduce its revolving credit facility to 30m from 173m.
Pocock was hired to run Yell at the beginning of January, joining chairman Bob Wigley, a well known city dealmaker and former head of European operations at Merrill Lynch. Wigley steered the company out of immediate trouble in 2009, helping to reduce debt from 4bn in 2009 with the help of a refinancing and a 660m cash call.
Long-standing chief executive John Condron left in 2010, after 30 years with the company. He led the company through its demerger from BT in 2001, and a period of international expansion and private equity ownership under Apax Partners, after which Yell joined the stock exchange.

Yell acquires Moonfruit for £18m
Yell has confirmed the acquisition of Moonfruit Limited, the UK DIY website and online shop builder.
The total cash consideration for the acquisition is approximately £18 million, funded out of Yell's cash reserves. Retention bonuses of up to £5.2 million will be paid to key Moonfruit management after two years, provided that they remain exclusively employed by Yell.
The deal is a significant move in Yell's ongoing transformation from its established position in providing print and online advertising for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to become a leading player in the emerging local eMarketplace.

The total cash consideration for the acquisition is approximately £18 million, funded out of Yell's cash reserves. Retention bonuses of up to £5.2 million will be paid to key Moonfruit management after two years, provided that they remain exclusively employed by Yell.

Another one down the pan, would think I will be dead and buried before this recovers if it ever does!!! A bit less for my family to inherit more to the point a lot less for me to enjoy whilst here.

it never ceases to amaze that so many of you guys are perpetually caught like rabbits in headlights .... the warnings here (and elsewhere) have been signalled loud and clear for months, but still you hang on to your shares as if they are liferafts ..... for goodness sake, if it's not already too late, learn to bite bullets as well as to bank profits

sp 1.45 pence - Yikes! (=that's four for sixpence.)
cynic - while I don't hold this skinned rabbit, I think I understand my own motives with other buys. We Brits like to support the guy, who against the odds wins through. We distrust the man that is Success all through life, believing he's ill-equi to deal with disaster "when" it befalls.
-The Logic in buying Yel is simple - kick the backsides of Dirs, so they know there is no tomorrow - they should be on 4-months' notice and others should be prepared to jump-in. It's not a difficult business to understand and that advertising has gone into the Internet should be seen as an opportunity for YEL to cut costs and do likelwise......sure I know they have a website, but it's DULL- certainly not a bright yellow, representing the dawn of a new age. Indeed it's much like a printed copy without the convenience of being able to stand on it (Remember the ads?).
+They should do a series of viral ads and IF they want my input, pay me for the next phase of their campaign.... which will be surprisingly cheap. (there's a thought!)
A modest fee (20% of Boards Gross salary) and a bonus based on the sp rise ( in a year's time) will do nicely.... and if shareholders vote for it, I'll stay on as chairman untill my ideas too become overtaken...in 9years, maybe.
However, I suspect this bunch of old-fathers are Dull enough to believe the Market will rescue them and someone will come and offer £1 a share and they will retire in Glory.
-This is reminiscent of Woolworths, where the 14 Directrors couldn't even be bothered to visit their stores on a weekly basis (ideally staying there!), so they were out of touch with the buying Public. (I lost a "small car" on WLW).
Sadly YEL punters take the same view as Dirs....and are hoping Markets+Directors (and their hangers-on) will have a really good recovery, back to levels 5-years ago. But the truth is that no-one needs YELL - folk use the internet search which isn't YELL and their purchase of Moonfruit (Web design, DYOR), shows they haven't understood the solution to the problem.
Recovery?
Some hope.

Am I right in thinking this purchase of "Moonfruit" - see RNS is with "borrowed" money ? That being the case, who is supporting this company and whya re they lending it money???
-OR- could this be the start of something big?

On what grounds do you suppose the transaction to be with borrowed money, pray?

The charge northwards has taken hold today and looks like 2p could be within reach. Shorts closing.

Just coming up to the AGM in a couple of weeks time. Should get some decent info by then.

55011, Annual Report p 94, Total net debt 2200m. (it's also on p1 in large figures, down from 2765m last year (2011).).
Yel made a profit of £565m, but that doesn't all go to reduce the debt which has built up over recent times, as their business model falls from under their feet.
News (yesterday) DYOR Revenue down 15% last Quarter.
+ + + + + + + + + + I don't Yel Management knows which way is UP. + + + + +
They are changing their name and EPIC - a sure sign they hope to bury the past, but I suspect they are throwing off much "Goodwill" as the new name will be seen as the successor, whatever Co-Speak tries to say.
Have you held long-term?.

3 monkies - did I read on another thread you had taken your investment fund away from the professionals because you thought you could do better? I guess we all think the same but hasn't there ever been a point where you realised that been in charge of your own money wasn't necessarily a good thing? you seem to have had amazing success in buying every crap stock going. Not only success in buying but great success in hanging on with grim determination no matter how low the SP travels.
PS If you want to make some money back, you could do worse than consider BLVN at 70p, CEY at 80p if you can get in at those prices. Both are on chart breakouts. Just a silly thought really, no advice intended. Ta da.

3m - i have lost a fortune in my time, especially when the dotcom bubble burst ..... even then i only partially learnt my lesson .... however, being on this board, i find myself repeating the mantra so often that it has pretty much taken root in my own psyche thank goodness
incidentally, the best investment i ever made by a country mile was the total chance (fluke) purchase of a small freehold in w11 back in 1978

Cheers chuckles and cynic. I don't think I will be investing any more for a long time if ever. Time to let the wounds heal and get on with living. I don't think things can get any worse or perhaps they can!!!

3 monkies - why not drip feed a set amount each month into a solid dividend paying company until you have enough invested in that company, then continue drip feeding into a different company, and so on. Good luck
