Trigger, I would not even like to take a guess, because I could be so far out, just keep in mind, that a company that has access to produce a revenue of 100,000, with gross margins of 60% for 1 minutes use of its technology, certainly in my mind, has the potential to deliver telephone number profits, just my opinion, based upon my research, which brings me onto the next peice of great news for all YOOMEDIA investors, and am surprised that YOOMEDIA's PR machine have not brought this to the investors attention ( maybe I should put in for the job ????? )
After a soft start last year, BSKYB , after seeing the success of Freeview, have now started an active advertising campain for its FREESAT service, for a one off fee of 150.00, which includes installation, dish, box and card, you get over 100 TV channels, and 80 TV channels,
The good news for YOOMEDIA, is that included in the package is all their SKY ACTIVE channels, so, a subscription package is no longer needed to get the revenue generating parts of YOOMEDIA into the home.
Even though I have Freeview, I have just ordered FREESAT, and I would not imagine I will be alone in doing so - this can only be good news for YOOMEDIA, and just think of all the free publicity they will get from it, again, another beauty of this share, someone else is carrying all the cost of getting their services into the home, which is another factor that drew to me this share in the first place, just think how much of BSKYB's initial cash burn must have been down to advertising, no wonder YOOMEDIA have reached profitability so much sooner than they did.
Anyway, here is the link to FREESAT if anyone is interested, http://www.freesatfromsky.co.uk , again, it is this type of thing that will have an effect on the future SP, and as I have said before, with this share, you have to look far beyond the company itself, to find the hidden value in there.

Paul

YooMedia price target 22p We highlighted YooMedia in our 4thApril note, on its prelims which highlighted that the integration of the December 2004 acquisition of
Digital Interactive Television Group and The Gaming Channel
(together known as DITG) had been successfully completed. We
believe that the company is breaking-even at the operating level,
and EBITDA for this calendar year should be about 6m. It is too
early to be clear about likely earnings for 2006, but at this stage we
expect an EBITDA improvement in the 25% - 50% range. At 16.25p,
the shares are trading on an estimated earnings multiple of about
17.5x, and our price target is 22p. There should be scope for
upgrades as we become more comfortable with the companys
progress this year.

I believe the YOO board have an ace up their sleeves.
Leo Noe is SO rich and he owns 12.6m shares already so,
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0%2C%2C33777%2C00.html
Monday morning board meeting.
Docherty: "The price is down again today boys, what can we do? Our secret commercial projects won't be ready for RNS until June and all the retail shareholders are losing confidence. Lloyds have been on the phone threatening an 18m dump 'at best' unless we do something! I would buy some, but I've the mortgage, three kids, credit cards.......and anyway who will be impressed with my 8k savings in ING?"
Sinclair "Well I own 24m anyway, so I've done my bit and I need all my spare cash, so I can donate money to charity on a regular basis, because I'm a great guy"
Bainbridge "I own a few million, including my deferment shares. I've got my new girlfriend to keep and I'm not selling anyway until 2010 because thats when I predict Yoomobile will hit 10% capacity, producing 150m revenue and 100m a year profit for our division. What more do you want me to do? I send out positive vibes because I don't sell and by the way, here are another 15 business wins for Yoomobile, I agreed yesterday"
Leo Noe "Well I suppose I could buy a few more. I've got that 54m profit I made last year, from those shopping centres I sold, in my e-savings account. How about I buy 400k now, which is only 60k and my wife spands more than that on hair appointments every month."
Docherty "Leo that's a great idea"
Leo Noe "Yes David, I already own 12m and can afford to support the price, whenever I feel like it. We are all agreed we can't afford to let the market cap drift below 60m, as it damages are ability to make future, earnings enhancing aquisitions. Listen, I'll set aside 3m for emergencys and everytime the cap falls below 60m or 13p, I'll step in with another 400k buy and up she goes. With a 3m fund to play with, I could do this for months until we hit our 0.8p EPS target"
Huge amounts of clapping and cheering fill the boardroom!
"Bainbridge, yes but remember I'm talking to those European broadcasting networks, over licensing out our patented, time stamping technology, for 500k a year! 9 operators called ne this morning, so that's 4.5m of revenue for Solutions, so the EPS will be 1.8p for this year. Trigger says the market will give us a PE of 35, so it's 50p+ by year end"

Liked the dialogue at YOO! There was also a dialogue at Shares.
Jeremy Lacey: "Its that Robson guy again pointing out that we got it wrong about YOO haemorraging cash. Can't lose face by printing that, we might haemorrage readers."
Timon Day: "I know, we'll print a results summary and mark YOO as a hold. Not quite a volte face and the price has dropped anyway because those iditic readers sold at rock bottom prices".
John Marshall: "And we've got that earlier letter from Robson singing my praises and asking for an ASOS update and nominating SEO as the ASOS of 2005 - not too late to print that."
Jeremy Lacey: "Great thinking fellows - buy us a bit of time for a rethink in YOO based on the next bit of positive news."
Really useful, this ability to sit as a fly on the wall, provided I remember to zipp it up!

Wondering what the significance of that full stop is on post 1159. Lost for words, but thought you should still do a post? Flown off to visit the YOO wall and just left a calling card? Erased a sequence of expletives?
