8 August 2005

This release replaces an announcement, RNS number 7207P, made on Thursday 4
August regarding the launch of Dateline's mobile video dating service in
association with 3.

YooMedia inadvertently referred to 3's customer base as totalling 3.20 million
customers. In fact the last figure announced by 3 was that it had 3.02 million
subscribers as of 31 March 2005.

YooMedia's Dateline launches mobile video dating with 3


YooMedia plc, the interactive media group, has today launched the UK's first
mobile phone video dating service in association with 3, the UK's leading
third-generation network operator.

The service, operated by YooMedia's Dateline subsidiary, will be available from
today to the entire 3 customer base, which is currently 3.02 million
subscribers.

The Dateline 3G service enables mobile subscribers to find a prospective partner
using the power of video through a simple and intuitive user interface on a
mobile handset. The mobile video service is the latest in the Dateline product
portfolio, which includes services for Internet, Interactive TV, IVR and mobile
SMS and MMS - all tied into a large database of active single people and a
sophisticated matching system.

Dateline 3G allows mobile users to create a sign-up, create a profile and to
review prospective partners through their mobile phone. The service is designed
to fit the particular operability of mobile phones by providing very simple
navigation, timely updates, and content packaged in small clips.

While the launch of this product is in the ordinary course of business for
YooMedia, it represents an important strategic goal. The directors do not expect
the new service to have a material impact on the company's financial results for
the year ending 31 December 2005. However, they are optimistic about the
contribution that will be made in the following financial year.

Neil MacDonald, group managing director of YooMedia, said: 'The mobile phone is
the obvious device for people interested in dating to use and the video clips
really make the experience work. This is another example of YooMedia being able
to leverage its excellent content and brands across all platforms.'

The company news service from the London Stock Exchange

What i really like, is that most of the people dont even realize that this company is turning 100+mil a year most of them still think its at 20mil, so come the results this should be interesting..

On most of the boards relating to Yoomedia, a lot of de-rampers manage to flood the boards, so that it does not give investors a chance to read informative posts.
Personally I now have no problem in declaring my hand with Yoomedia, and will be around to see how true my prediction is, I am now looking at 3.00 in the next 3 - 5 years, why you may ask , well here is the hard facts:-

2002 - yearly turnover, 40 K SP 1p

2005 - daily turnover 300K SP 10.62p ( yes that is daily, it is not a typing error )

Is that serious growth or what, we are witnessing a major growth stock before our very eyes.

Forecast for end of year 100 + million turnover, 1 milllon loss ( EVO forecast 12/07/05 ) against last year 21.37 million turnover, 24 million loss - coupled together with a very upbeat future trading out look - does not take a brain surgeon to work out what effect this news will have - who knows, things may go so well over the next few months now the company is concentrating on its core products, we may even get some profit.

Take a look at the chart of Sportingbet over the last 2 1/2 years - 20p - 369p

Yoomedia look far better at 10.62p than Sportingbet did at 20p - why, well Yoomedia have the advantage of all of their own brands being accessable via PC, Mobile and iTV - Yoomedia have access to all DTV platforms - the only company in the UK at present with this benefit - BSKYB, Freeview, NTL and Telewest are pushing like mad to get the whole country DTV enabled by 2012 in line with government targets, All the marketing is being done for Yoomedia - nice eh.

Yoomedia have the added adavantage of 11 third party Broadcasters using their technology, these include ITV, BBC, C4, BSKYB, Pokerchannel, and production companies such as Celador.

Yoomedia have the advantage of long term contracts with NHS and William Hill, who are going to be major third party users of their technology.

Yoomedia now have their own broadcast and production facilities, so they are self generating income of their own via the Avago brand & Dateline Brand across PC, Mobile & iTV media formats, they have their own gaming channel Yooplay available to all DTV households in the UK - they have the best of both worlds - third party users, and their own broadcast stream, via their own DTV channels on all digital formats, Freeview, Satellite and Cable.

Yoomedia also have a Broadband TV project in trials with NTL, which is going very well - they have a partnership with European partner MMTV to exploit the future of Broadband TV.

Yoomedia have a very successful CEO, whose ambition is to make Yoomedia an international leader in its field, with the advantage of a young team whose average age is 30 to help him acheive it, just look at the achievments of David Bainbridge to date who has secured worldwide clients such as Nestle and Celador via the YES divison of Yoomedia.

The Gambling & Gaming division has a 5 year contract with FTSE 100 member William Hill, and are already broadcasting for them on channel 425 on BSKYB on the SKY ACTIVE portal, which BKYB continue to spend fortunes on promoting, as it is fast becoming one of the most profitable area of BSKYB.

Already Yoomedia are the preffered partner for ITV and BBC for providing interactive services on primetime Saturday evening slots, this will become more common, as both BBC and ITV are needing more and more revenues, in the case of ITV, it will eventually be a neccessity for interactive revenues as advertising revenues diminish, as advertising reveues are split by near on 500 independent channels in the UK

When the USA in 2 - 3 years catch up to where the UK is now regarding DTV take up, Yoomedia will be ready to tke advantage, they already have Turner Broadcasting as a client in the UK, who are one of the largest broadcasters in the USA - anyone who has good contacts with Ted Turner, is worth investing in, period !

With the technology this company is now able to offer third parties, be prepared for some significant RNS announcements in due course - surely companies like eBay could seriously benefit from the " seamless integration of its product, via one e-wallet over the multi media platforms of PC, Mobile and iTV ", just think if that kind of RNS comes like a bolt out of the blue one of these days, we would not be looking at 30% growth in one day, seriuosly more, that is the prospect we now have.

Glad I made my decision two years ago to invest for a 3 - 5 year period, glad I put the effort into a lot of research,including taking subscriptions to broadcast based magazines, and making good contacts within BBC and ITV, exciting times ahead for sure.

Good luck to all those who have taken the plunge of late, and who are making great profits already, I remember the feeling well, and now see the time when my portfolio of Yoomedia turn Blue for good, patience and a good deal of nerve is the ingredients of a Yoomedia holder, and if you take the time to do the research, you will sleep well at night, even when us long termers have seen a lot of red over the last few months.

Also, take the time to research the people behind:-

" Seamless integration of one e-wallet over all media platforms, PC, Mobile & ITV "

This may well be the most important line you have read - many businesses will benefit from such a product, including the likes of eBay, never miss out on an auction, I think thy would like the thought of that.

Yoomedia have a CEO, who has built up Country wide succesful businesses in the UK, USA and FAR EAST, and now wants to build a company with International domination in its field, this is a man with a mission, who can deliver, take the time to research Dr Sinclair's business achievements, take the time to investigate Yoomedia's largest shareholder's acheivements, Peter Wilkinson no less, the man who was the Architect behind the success of Freeserve.

Investors such as Sony

I am glad to be investing in the same company of these people.

Always keep an eye on the follwoing web site, http://www.dtg.org.uk , you will realise what an emerging market DTV is, and iTV services that go along with it that Yoomedia can offer, with seamless integration accross PC & Mobile media's when the iTV product can benefit from such integration, as Yoomedia have proved with there own gaming, gambling and dating channels

I think the thing that worries investorss is that with such huge turnover, they're still lossmaking and those profits are not in their sights. It's had a very good run and I was surprised how far it went but feel a slip back to 7 or 8 over next few weeks is due, and prices normally overshoot what you'd expect so maybe 6! what i'm not certain about is YOO's long term?

Mactavish - if I may be so bold - your postings - whilst they contain loads of useful info - put me off and I only ever read the first 2 or 3 lines before I switch off and skip down to the last para. I am sure that this means I miss lots of important info.

I am not sure if others think the same or if I am in a minority of 1 - but I would certainly appreciate shorter summaries..Just my feedback for what its worth

BTW - I thought u did an excellent job with the interviews - quite enlightening

Baza

do we know they are still lossmaking now?figures quted are alays historical and the company in its new enlarged form does not have a lot of history. It is much easier to drive profit out of a 100 mill T/O company that is reporting sales growth as sales increase faster then overheads.The next set of numbers reported will be of particular interst to se the progress being made.I would have said that particularly YOO is about the long term and that is what makes them so exciting. IYou may be right about the share price but I think the recent announcement has alerted investors to the fact that the recent fall was an over correction.It isnt long ago the institutions bought in at 15p!It would be interesting to know if they are still in or have moved on.

Bear in mind the targets have only been missed, because of a delayed contract with Hill's, until the end of the year, due to Hill's buying Stanley Leisure. Not due to lower than expected revenue from iTV gambling, which was an assumption, the less astute investors arrived at. The contract is for 5 years.

A few months ago, Alphameric announced a major contract with William Hill relating to technology installations in WH outlets. The acquisition by WH of
the Stanley Leisure betting shops has increased the scope of this contract. YOO's services cannot be rolled out into the betting shops, until this technology installation is complete in over 1000+ shops.

The important part is this. Although the launch of YOO's services in Hill's was delayed until the end of the year, in the end, due to the extended Alphameric contract, the amount of business is MORE than EVO originally anticipated, because the Stanley Leisure shops, increase the Hill's portfolio.

YOO need Alphameric to roll out infrastructure, before our services can be provided.

Have you acutally grapsed the above yet? 2006 is only a few months ahead and the markets, always look forward 12 to 18 months with shares like Yoomedia.

EBITDA positive since March with 5m in cash since then. This means they can pay the wage bill.

Now turning PROFITABLE on a month by month basis about now, according to FD.

cheers ipublic--haven't heard from you for a while. pleased to see the recovery and planning to add as soon as I have some spare cash.

So - looks like 10p is the new resistance level - tested earlier, and now back to 10.5p - a very positive day, and should well and truly see all the shorters out this week - then nicely up to 15p on the run in to interim results, more than a possibility now.( wait until everyone gets confirmation of the growth this company has achieved, as it moves into profit )

The more you look into the presence that Yoomedia have on BSKYB, and how greatly their presence has increased on DTV from that early Freeview CH 53 entry - the more and more I think BSKYB will end up taking Yoomedia out - when the management feel the time or price is right - certainly not inside the next three years, no way will Dr Sinclair sell this one short, he knows exactly where this company is heading.

I Believe from the facts out their the fastest period of growth will be over the next three years within the UK, based on industry fact, there is plenty of figures out there in the market place, I would suggest anyone who is not on this ride yet, find them, or look back on some of the earlier threads.

After that, when the USA fully kicks off, who knows where this share will head then, I would not even like to hazzard a guess.

Looking forward to next year, we can safely say, that William Hill was expected to provide in the region of 5 million to this years figures, based on the fact that profit was projected of 4 million, and now that the William Hill contract will not kick in until 2006, we have a forecast loss now of 1 million.

Don't lose sight of the fact that when the figures for this year were produced, William Hill had not taken out Stanley Leisure then - this now adds a further 600 outlets to William Hill's existing 900 outlets - effectively this 5 year contract has now gone up in the region of 66% in size - yes, Channel 425 will be plugged in over 1500 High Street outlets, and it is more than probable, that inline with the AVAGO announcement, William Hill gaming will also be available to all adult mobile phone users - an amazing prospect, William Hill will be plugging this like mad, as it has to be more cost effective for them, as like the banks, in time, they will reduce the presence on the High Street - hence the City excitement at the moment with Yoomedia - as this part of the business could benefit many businesses, and once they see Yoomedia's own inhouse model working, watch out - you just won't know where the next RNS will be coming from - who knows " eBay announce major partnership with Yoomedia to bring online auctions seamlessly across Mobile, Internet and iTV platforms " - eBay would know something like that would instantly send their own shares skywards - as it would add a further 25% of potential users to its already successful worldwide model - that is why Yoomedia is featuring in my bottom draw portfolio, along with my Tesco and ROK Build.

Like Dr Sinclair, I look forward to next few years with relish, and a conservative profits forecast of 10,000,000 is surely not out of the question for 2006, this would give EPS in the region of 2p ( already forecast by EVO earlier in the year ), and a PE of at least 40, given the fact that turnover would have risen in the region of 36500 % over the last three years - amazingly fast growth.

Yoomedia at 3.9p per share just under two months ago, is now looking more and more like one of the top " no brainers " of the year, and am glad that opportunity was given to me to average down to a level where I believe I will break even sometime this year at 19p - if only I had have had the funds available, I would most certainly been in profit, but you can't have it all way, and I am a patient sort of chap who can wait for the future rewards, of a much higher SP with divedends to boot - and you never know, like BSKYB are doing now, there may even be cash to give back.

Yoomedia - what a fantastic business model, let BSKYB, NTL, Telewest & FREEVIEW ( especially look at the market leader BSKYB and see the cash burn thye once had - frightening ) do all the marketing to get themselves into now over 13 million UK homes via DTV, and just about every home via mobile ( this is greater than the eBay business model, who really have only been able to get into homes with a PC - and look how successful they have turned out to be ), by 2012 Yoomedia will be available in all UK homes, and by that time, like eBay will be going international.

Can you believe this share stands at just 10.75p today, will all that potential infront them - this IMHO, DYOR is the best buy out there at the moment for long term growth, and just like Polly Peck did once, feel certain for those that have the nerve now to buy and hold, will make a lot of people very rich for a minimal outlay.

Regards

Paul

PS - I showed a friend who is heavily into Poker Yoomedia's offering on Channel 279 last night - he liked it a lot, very playable, myself as a keen roulette player now and again also like the Roulette
