This is a pile of rubbish is it not - might look like the SEO chart some time in the future ;-) LOL

hewittalan6 - 17 Jun 2005 09:17 - 1532 of 3776

Oh God. If things weren't bad enough for all us holders of YOO, ii starts posting on this board. Suddenly life has gone downhill in a very serious way.
Still, on the plus side, ii has rubbished SEO from 4pps to 25pps, so if that isn't a buying signal, nothing is!!!

Dil - 17 Jun 2005 09:20 - 1533 of 3776

Still talking b*llox Paul.

jimmy b - 17 Jun 2005 09:31 - 1534 of 3776

The fact that ii is here has even made me interested Alan,, only joking, he's got to get one right eventually..

bhunt1910 - 17 Jun 2005 09:38 - 1535 of 3776

Well I see II is here - so I have just bought a shed load - best buy signal that I know at the moment - is when II starts to rubbish a share.

hewittalan6 - 17 Jun 2005 09:41 - 1536 of 3776

Baza, if thats true (and I doubt it!! you're too smart a cookie to be buying these) then I welcome you with open arms. If YOO share price drops to 0 at least we will be left with a thread dedicated to laughing at ii

i have to say Paul, SEO was a great call but YOO may struggle. i look forward to hearing your views when you have done some more digging.

certainly good for a flip but i think their longer term prospects would be in doubt.

i look forward to hearing your feedback

Bid due for a tick soon.

Poverty - 17 Jun 2005 10:56 - 1539 of 3776

YOO are Sh**e! Paul must be on the board! How can you say there is only one under performing division out of loads doing well - didn't you read the RNS yesterday!?

4.5p - Some sort of success story!!!?? You are bonkers. I bought these at 26 and got shafted down to 19p - They are in REAL trouble - time people started to believe it!

bhunt1910 - 17 Jun 2005 11:01 - 1540 of 3776

Must confess that I am day trading these - rather than investing - hoping to make a small gain from a volume purchase at 3.75 on the bounce. Not interested in Yoo (at the moment) as an investment so will eject this pm whatever the movement

andysmith - 17 Jun 2005 11:20 - 1541 of 3776

Wise move Baza. If you invest in YOO, you will get shafted although if they can make a success of it, todays price is stupidly cheap, big word though IF.

Dil - 17 Jun 2005 11:54 - 1542 of 3776

I wanna know how Paul was in profit when the bid price was 4p and he claimed to have bought at an average of 4.02p !!!

Anyone for a rights issue at 1p ?

Dil - 17 Jun 2005 11:58 - 1543 of 3776

And a great SELL call by "Shares" magazine.

Type of reply I would expect from a bullsh*tter and he didn't disappoint me.


paulmasterson1 - 17 Jun 2005 12:19 - 1546 of 3776


Poverty, and anyone else still bashing,

Yes I read the announcement, and you obviously didn't read past paragraph one, so here it is again, with the PROOF that only one division of LOADS is underperforming.

For immediate release
16 June 2005

YooMedia PLC ('YooMedia' or the 'Company')

Trading Update

Yoomedia plc today announces that, whilst significant progress has been made since the acquisition of DITG at the end of 2004, and strong performances have been achieved by a number of its business divisions, Yoomedia's Games & Gambling division has experienced lower than expected profit growth, leading to a revision of the forecast outcome for the full year. As a result the Directors believe that the results for the year ending 31 December 2005 will be significantly lower than the Directors had originally anticipated.


Overall, the Company achieved its initial objective of EBITDA break-even in March this year and has continued to be EBITDA positive. The Directors believe that the Company will be cash flow positive during the third quarter of this financial year. Under the Company's banking arrangements, the Chairman has agreed to replace a guarantee over an element of the facilities previously provided by a former chairman and director of DITG.

The Company announced the appointment of Neil MacDonald as Group Managing Director last week. Alongside the other directors, he will be focusing efforts on the core business streams and key growth initiatives. Yoomedia operates in several high growth markets and will be announcing and launching a range of new offerings in these during the second half of 2005. Particular emphasis will be on new gambling and dating services for the latest generation of digital TV and mobile phone networks and new interactive TV formats.

Keep bashing, it's not going to make any difference to me.

Snippets from the last EVO note of 5 April 2005

16p - Target 20p ADD

Strong revenue growth
Driven by both acquisitions and organic growth revenues are showing considerable qtr-on-qtr growth. We estimate revenues of the enlarged group are growing by an annualised 66%. 2m of annualised cost synergies (identified at the time of the DITG acquisition) has become 4.2m with 3.6m already in place.

Now profitable
The business model is highly operationally geared company, with c 80% of incremental revenues falling to the bottom-line. Given the rapid top-line growth and with Yoomedia EBITDA positive for the first time in Mar-05, we estimate the enlarged group will generate an EBITDA of 6.3m in the 12- months to Dec-05.

Leading player within the iTV industry
Yoomedia is clearly establishing itself as a leading player within the emerging interactive entertainment industry, delivering a range of gambling, dating and related services across the full range of digital platforms. In addition, the company is leveraging its expertise and provides digital solutions to third party broadcasters and programme makers.

Strong qtr-on-qtr revenue growth
Annualised revenue growth
Gaming 48.5%
Dating 33.1%
Solutions >300%
Group 66.4%

Due to the numerous transactions completed during the period, FY04 results do not reflect the underlying trends within each of the three divisions. However, the results statement shows that Gambling, Dating and Solutions revenues are showing considerable qtr-on-qtr growth. Between Sep-04 and Mar-05, Gaming revenues increased by 48.5% on an annualised basis. Dating increased 33.1% and Solutions by 313.9%. We estimate revenues of the enlarged group are growing by an annualised 66%.

Cost synergies greater than anticipated
At the time of the DITG acquisition, management thought they could achieve 2.0m of cost synergies. Some savings related to staff. Other savings related to IT costs, such as duplicated bandwidth.

Thus far, Yoomedia has removed 3.6m of annualised costs from the business. A further 0.6m of cost synergies has been identified and will be removed in due course.

EBITDA positive
With strong revenue growth and benefits of the cost savings, Yoomedia managed to reach EBITDA positive in Mar-05 for the first time. This compares with an EBITDA loss of 8.0m for FY04. We anticipate the company will produce 6.3m of EBITDA for the 12-months to Dec-05


Now lets hear the bu****it about YOO going bankrupt from the bashers again, what a total load of lies and drivel is posted here by them.
