Thank you for your e-mail.
As you may be aware, AIM as a whole is performing poorly at the moment, with a number of potential flotations being halted due to lack of appetite. This understandably flows through to existing stocks, not least where certain investors will liquidate positions to invest elsewhere.
YooMedia's share price has been subject to this general market sentiment and as you can see, thin volumes yesterday and today have produced a fall of 1.5p at the moment. We are working on the basics of improving profitability and growing the company which hopefully will be reflected in our half year numbers. IN the mean time, as and when we have meaningful news flow, we will RNS them.
Best regards
Jonathan

Re comment about AIM, yes it has been performing badly but I hope, fingers crossed, that the decline is now bottoming out and I can start to see some improvement among my smaller shares, not least of all YOO.

agreed. and I think that anyone looking for an entry point has probably passed it this morning. I got in at 13pps and was confident at that (still am) but I am most firmly not a trader, more of an investor, looking at medium and long term prospects. Excellent value as it is right now IMO.

I think it's probably my fault that it's gone down.
Every deal I have made in the last fortnight has gone the wrong way! So now I'm just sitting waiting and watching.
Good luck all.

Results back in April spoke of 'current monthly revenues c8m', so didn't sound like a one-off.
Just to remind everyone what a positive announcement that was:
4 April 2005
YooMedia Plc
Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 December 2004
YooMedia plc, the UK's biggest independent interactive media company, today
announces preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2004. The group
specialises in gaming, dating and the public sector, delivering its content and
services across all digital platforms. It is the market leader in real-time
interactivity - and through its mobile arm, it can deliver interactivity to
every TV home in the country.
Key points
DITG acquisition successfully integrated
Acquisition of ViaVision
On target for operating break-even by 31 March 2005
Turnover of 21.3m (2003: 0.7m)
Operating loss of 24.0m (2003: loss 5.4m) after operating exceptionals
of 5.9m, and depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges of 11.0m
Current monthly revenues of c.8.0m
Commenting on the results, Michael Sinclair, chairman, said:
'2004 was the year in which YooMedia made the greatest strides yet in creating
the UK's biggest independent interactive media company. Each of our business
units has performed well during the year and all of them are strongly poised for
growth.
The leap forward we made by merging with DITG has taken YooMedia to a new level,
building on the progress we had already made over the past couple of years. The
merger has lived up to our expectations and the two businesses are already
integrated, resulting in benefits in terms of scale and synergy. We look forward
with relish to the opportunities ahead.
Since the year-end, the company has entered into an agreement to acquire the
balance of the shares in ViaVision Limited, having already acquired 15% with the
acquisition of DITG. As a result of this acquisition, YooMedia will operate
Pokerzone TV, the new name for the existing Game-In TV channel. YooMedia will
provide interactive services for this channel through the red button on Sky and
via mobile devices.'
