Playing The Mobile Dating Game

The U.K.-based interactive-TV provider YooMedia is confident it can make a strong impact in the mobile-television space for interactive entertainment applications. The company recently launched a mobile gaming channel linked to its Avago TV channel and Web site, and it claims to be one of the first examples of seamless interactivity with viewers and players across all mainstream digital media: television, Internet and mobile.

According to CEO Neil MacDonald, There are two areas: dating and gambling. We are doing dating under the Dateline brand, where we launched the U.K.s first, if not the worlds first, mobile video dating service last week. You use the cameras capabilities on your mobile phone to record your own profile. We are starting to use the phone handset as a way of capturing content from the viewer. The dating-service approach is highly appropriate.

McDonald also believes mobile gambling will become the next big thing: We know how people love to gamble on TV, and we know that people will like doing it on their mobiles because it is easy, convenient and very entertaining. That is going to grow rapidly.

The key to YooMedias success in the mobile arena hinges on whether it can replicate the TV experience on the small screen. We want to introduce more video into it, and more participation and community elements. We want to try and replicate what we do on digital television on mobile, MacDonald says. We havent seen anything like that yet, so we know from our own experience with TV that consumers will respond very well to that kind of service packaged up in that way.

So what ?

ITV is running shot of the century vote on the 27th, will it be a revenue raiser for Yoo?

A brief reminder of what you are getting for 10p per share.............

1) Turnover increase from 300 K per annum, to 300 K per day in a the space of three years - forecast loss this year - just 1 million ( if you are worried about that loss - just take a look at the BSKYB losses at the same time in tat companies evolution - then take a look at where they are now - yes, million's in profit, a nice dividend, and giving cash back to the investors )

2) Yoomedia have hived off the back of the success of BSKYB, NTL, Telewest, and Freeview, to now have access to over 65% of the nation via DTV - watch the growth further growth stats at www.dtg.org.uk , also, take a look at the way the growth is happening internationally.

3)By their own patented technology, Yoomedia are able to offer a red button experience to the remaining Anologue customers via Mobile Phone, already BBC and ITV use this service during peak time Saturday viewing - broadcasters like this technology, because no one is left out iTV leading up to Switchover in 2012 - make no mistake, iTV is still in its infancy - but already is becoming a weekly feature on your TV's - it will grow at a staggering pace, as Broadcasters are already seeing the advantages of the increased revenues - especially as advertising revenues are dwindling, as these revenues are now having to be shared by over 400 UK independent Broadcasters.

4) Yoomedia have built, and continue to grow an impressive client base, which include, from the Broadcast Industry - BBC, ITV, C4, C5, BSKYB, Turner , International Production companies, Celador and now indirectly, Endemol, and are the preferred interactive marketing partner to Nestle, have an ongoing contract with NHS direct, to bring all NHS services into the home via DTV, already broadcasting on BSKYB, soon to be brought to Freeview, not forgetting that Yoomedia now have a 5 year contract with FTSE 100 member William Hill, to bring iTV services into the home, as well as to 1500 high street shops.

5) With the aquistion of DITG group last year, Yoomedia are now Programme makers and broadcasters in there own right, and ARE the only company in the UK that provide iTV services across all DTV platforms - a great attraction to all third party broadcasters.

6) Yoomedia is lead by Dr Michael Sinclair, a very successful businessman in his own right, having built and sold solid businesses in the UK, USA and Far East, who now has an ambition to build a company with international success, the largest shareholder in Yoomedia is Peter Wilkinson, the founder and Architect for the success of " Freeserve ".

DTV and the iTV services that are now becoming possible, is very much still in its infancy, and maybe that is why we are able to take advantage of the SP at present - for how long - who knows, but for an idea of what can happen in a company that is moving forward in a fast moving new market, take a look at eBay over its time - for that reason, and based on the research that I have carried out, which goes way beyond Yoomedia itself, I am not taking any chances of being out of this one - you can rest assured that there is lot going on inside Yoomedia at present, that none of us know about, but when we do, the SP could move dramatically, we have seen it before, when the company was not really that stable, this time it is a different story - I could have taken major profits in this company when the shares intra day reached in excess of 60p, but even two years ago, I had made the decision that this was to invest for a minimum of 5 years, well with thre years to go, I am more than pleased with the evolution of the company, the SP - well that is a tempory situation, I firmly believe that this company is more than capable of producing profits in the region of 50 - 100 million sometime in the next three years, and that being the case, would give an EPS of 21p - with a certain PE ratio 20 ( very conservative ) gives a possible future SP in excess of 300p, and if you think growth like this is not possible, take a look at SPORTINGBET over the last three years - I know where my money would rather be now, when you compare the two - look how well SPORTINGBET have done just off of the back of the internet - YOOMEDIA can now take advantage of three mediums, INTERNET, DTV and MOBILE - which in time, will give them just about 98 % access to the whole of the World.

Good luck to all long term investors, the potential rewards are great, but must not lose site of the risks, and to that end DYOR - there is plenty of info out in the public domain to enable you to make an informed decision on the possibilities ahead for Yoomedia.

A very good summary - thank you. On a list this long its easy to lose track of what YOO is all about - I'm already a holder of the stock and intend holding for the long term. I firmly believe that as broadcasters and advertisers struggle to reach and hold audience share, the interactive route will become increasingly important. This story has only just started and has a long way to go.

xxx For new comers Only !!! YOO are all weclome xxx

Don't allow anyone tell you otherwise. The following is FACT!!!!! You heard it here for free.

YOO is a strong and good growth company. YOO will post profits of c -1m compared to -24m on turnover c90-100m this year alone. In 2006 YOO can conservatively deliver profit of c15m. Now a growth company on a conservative PE of 15 (Vodafone is not growing as much and she is on a PE of 15). More realistically for YOO the PE should be more like 30-50.

If you take a PE of 15 for 2006 thats a market cap of 225m equates to 47p a share. If you take a PE of 30 that equates to 95p a share. If you take a PE of 40 (ARM is on a PE of 40 and she is not growing as fast) gives price of 1.27 for this year alone, i.e. some 12 months from now.

Meaning the price today should be anywhere in the region of 70p to 1.27

It also means, 24 months from now will easily take out 2-3.

Its not rocket science.

If you do not have funds now, don't worry because if, when you have funds she is trading @ 1.50, you can still double your money some 12 months from then.

Point is 2-3 is conservative for this share in no more than 24 months from now. 95p to 1.30 in the next 12 months alone!!!!!!!

A similar growth story to Baltimore ..... plop !

50 -100million profit within 3 years ... ROFLMAO.

Based on what mactavish? What mega products does it have?

Got to get real some of you?

A guy on another board Bought a pizza yesterday using sky ACTIVE and YOO SMS technology.

Didn't know that Dominos were using YOO.

I wonder how many other deals are being struck in the background.

Why didn't he just fcuking ring them ?

lol

Dil

You are quite sad.

Reasonable question.

Why would anyone want to use SKY active to order a sodding pizza.

You lot live in cloud cuckoo land.

lol

doesnt it make sense to see a visual advert for a product and buy on impulseand be able to buy interactively though the same media where you are viewing the product?Whether Pizza is the best example i am not sure but the principle of buying interactively is established and growing. A lot of people like to buy from their arm chair and if their remote control does it all for them they are quite happy.There are a lot of couch potatoes out there!
Which is the point i took from mactavish.

No ... its still easier and quicker to pick up the phone and probably a lot cheaper.

Well Dil it could be a variety of reasons:

Telephone costs
Telephone Engaged
Dont feel like being put on hold
Interactive discount as it frees up HR resources to concentrate on other jobs
Billed through your provider hence handy if you have no cash or credit card

Dil you do ask stupid questions

probably 99.9 % out of 100 people would use the phone, this leaves 0.1% to order in a variety of other different ways, another diamond for yoo ?...not

What a DIL!
