Hi All,

I am giving my own buy signal :)

Interims next week (Tuesday ?) will show the real performance of YOO, and blitz last years figures to dust. Also I hope for a statement(not guaranteed !) saying YOO are NOW cash-flow positive, and a rundown of how well ALL the divisions are now performing, giving the stock rocket power !

Short term target 18p, long term target 's

Cheers,
PM

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.

The final line of that extract ....."to enter the US market place" is very interesting. Not only is the US market huge but they are behind us and the rest of Europe on technology relating to mobile phones, digital TV etc. Could be a very lucrative market if YOO can get in early and avoid the pitfalls which have claimed many a British venture.

It is easy to be cash flow positive and still be losing millions and have to have the CEO guarantee the overdraft facilities.

Interims will show little of value from an accounting point of view as they are not audited so bullsh*t rampers like you can have a field day.

Fact is last set of accounts were all but qualified , they have subsequently issued a profits warning and a lot of people will get burnt when the sh*t hits the fan ... all imo of course.

Dil - 27 Aug 2005 00:32 - 2499 of 3776

Still waiting for someone to give me the viewing figures for AVAGO .... can't be that difficult you can probably count them on one hand.

"It is easy to be cash flow positive and still be losing millions and have to have the CEO guarantee the overdraft facilities."


You complete and utter muppet.

Do you know the difference between EBITDA positive and cash flow positive?

Your last post displays your complete ignorance for all to see. Please stop posting before you embarrass yourself further.

The reason for the warning was due to a contract, now delayed until year end, but due to the circumstances involved, that contract is now 80% larger, than the broker originally anticipated in April. It was not due to lower than expected revenue from iTV.

Ipublic Hi,

Dil is a blatant basher, and has been bashing YOO since I said buy them at 4p, simply because it was me that said buy them .... doesn't that make the dilbrain a perfect example of utmost stupidity .... LOL !

Cheers,
PM

paulmasterson1 - 27 Aug 2005 15:59 - 2502 of 3776


Hi All,

Interims will show how well YOO are doing, much better than last years final results did, because none of the DITG and costs of the other aquisitions will be in these results, but the benefits of the integration of those aquisitions will be there in the figures, and it will look very very good.

The market is going to turn very positive on YOO again, as no more aquisitions are needed, YOO has all it requires, so the target now is building the business and increasing the profit, and YOO has been doing that very well so far, and there is massive room to grow further, and the market loves a growth stock.

How high the spike will go, is anyone's guess, but we should see 15p, maybe 20p, over the next week.

Cheers,
PM

iPublic - 27 Aug 2005 16:02 - 2503 of 3776

PaulM

Well we do not know when the results are, sometime in September. So to call a large spike this week, is probably not wise?

I agree with the rest though!

Ainslie7 - 27 Aug 2005 21:12 - 2504 of 3776

Hi All

I think i read 29th September? but i have read a great deal this week,so may be questionable

stringy - 27 Aug 2005 21:18 - 2505 of 3776

Ainslie,

I read that somewhere but can't find it now.

Dil - 28 Aug 2005 17:09 - 2506 of 3776

iPublic ... yes .

You can be cash flow positive in any given period and still be losing trillions. If you cannot understand that concept the I suggest you go sign up on a GCSE accounting course.

My qualifications in that field are a touch higher .... YOU MUPPETT !!!

paulmasterson1 - 28 Aug 2005 17:49 - 2507 of 3776


IPublic Hi,

Fair cooment, although I also heard it was results on 29th, unless someone just said that because that was the date last year.

I doubt there will be any delay like there was with last years final results, because for those results, they had to do loads of extra work for the DITG and other takeovers, but these interims will have just normal business to do the accounts for.

Cheers,
PM

Doh - 28 Aug 2005 18:05 - 2508 of 3776

The 29th was being touted by someone on advfn, I think that was the date of last years results. The person who posted thought it would be the same this year. Nearly everything I have read indicates early September although , I did read a post from someone claiming to have been in touch with the company who said that results would be late September.
Hope thats cleared it up for everyone. One things for sure, results will be some time in September.
Me, what do I think? Glad you asked .................Tuesday!
Regards Doh

iPublic - 29 Aug 2005 10:09 - 2509 of 3776

Well obviously if company X, are swinging between monthly loss and profit, consistantly over a 12 months basis, then yes, it's possible to report big losses, with some profitable months.

However, the loss this year will only be 1m from 24m last year. YOO will make an operating profit this year. Even the 1m loss, was only caused by a big contract, delayed until the end of hte year.

I've been in touch with the company several times and they are anticipating the ability to announce month by month profitablity, with the September results.

If this is the case for August, imagine the effect of the BIG contract kicking in at the end of the year, which is MASSIVE for YOO! If you wish to walk around with your head stuck up your backpassage, believeing YOO are still losing millions on a quarterly basis, then that's your perogative. These are the facts. Deal with it.

WHAT A DIL!!!

paulmasterson1 - 29 Aug 2005 12:32 - 2510 of 3776


iPublic Hi,

What a DIL .... what a BASHER you mean ....

dil's head will still be in that dark place you mention, when YOO are through the 1 mark .... LOL !

Cheers,
PM

NielsJensen - 29 Aug 2005 19:46 - 2511 of 3776

And just when do you expect YOO to go through the 1 mark?
