Interactive Channel

The Interactive channel grew gross win by 17.0% over the comparative period
primarily due to a 151% increase in income from poker, growth in arcade games,
the introduction of William Hill TV, and a solid performance from our casino
offering. Sportsbook gross win was flat compared to the comparative period.

We expanded our range of in-running betting opportunities and launched a live
betting console on our Sportsbook which enables the rapid update of in running
betting prices. We enhanced our single account proposition and our internet and
telephone customers can now bet on sports, poker, casino and arcade from a
single account. Our Arcade offering expanded to 8 games by the end of period,
and has since increased to 10 games, and our mobile service is supported by 12
handsets.

William Hill TV was launched in late 2004 and now broadcasts Australian
horseracing, greyhound racing, Brazilian football, Major League baseball, a
weekly poker show and virtual racing. We are planning to trial William Hill TV
in the shop environment later this year.

We upgraded our poker product with the addition of lower limit tables, shared
guaranteed tournament prize pools of #1 million per month and re-branded our
software. Thirty William Hill clients qualified for the World Series of Poker
finals in Las Vegas. We also announced our own William Hill Grand Prix
Tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of #450,000. The finals of the William
Hill Grand Prix will be screened on William Hill TV in December 2005.

We added 19 new games to our download casinos, including 5 new games on our Boss
Media European language casinos, and now offer in total over 130 games. We have
paid out over #600,000 in shared progressive jackpots in the year to date.

Total active accounts increased to 316,000 as at 28 June 2004 (29 December 2004:
292,000).

Costs in the channel increased 12.1% over the comparative period due to
increased marketing activities to support the growth of our poker business and
to fund the costs of William Hill TV production and content.

Cost Control

Total Group costs were #183.1 million representing a 10.3% increase over the
comparative period. Stripping out exceptional charges and those costs
attributable to Stanley Retail, costs increased by 4.6% against the comparative
period.

Exceptional Costs

Exceptional costs before tax of #9.5 million are reported in the period of which
#2.7 million relates to the installation of EPOS and new text systems, #1.7
million relates to professional fees on due diligence for the acquisition of
Stanley Retail, #2.8 million relates to the costs of the return of capital
exercise aborted earlier in the year, and #2.3 million relates to unamortised
finance fees written off on early repayment of borrowings.

By the year end, the Group expects to incur a further #15 million of exceptional
costs in respect of the integration of Stanley Retail (excluding non cash asset
write offs) and roll out of new technology in the William Hill estate."

Thanks people.

And what exactly is the status of the William Hill deal ?
The yoo implementation has been delayed due to a WH aquisition - what has been publicly announced?

ibizamatt,
YOO still run channel 425 for William Hill, just not in the bookies yet.

400k protected buy @ 10.50p just went thru'.

hopefully we are through the worst and can look forward to a nice steady rise all the way to Xmas--I'd like a round pound per share!!
OK-Dil before you jump on me--I'm allowed to dream!!

More buying .... NO selling :)

Going up to 15p soon IMVHO

Cheers,
PM

Do you not think the 9.85, 10.13 and10.15p are sells.

John Hi,

ADVFN and MoneyAM mobile both show no sell volume, but I haven't had time to look closely at the trades myself, the ask is marked up way above the mid at 10.50(just this second dropped to 10.25 !), suggesting big buy order(s), and the MM's are trying to create selling, without more buying, so that they can fill the order(s).

I don't think the price will stay this low for much longer, as everyone knows the YOO growth is still there, and profit probably is too, and when the results arrive, the S.P will be 15p maybe 20p, so the profit is there to be had, it might take a week, it might take a month, but it's there all the same :)

Cheers,
PM

Paul, good steady buying today.

When are the results out?

Was supposed to be early September but could be anytime in September.

Nice 1,000,000 protected buy.

See the 1 million T trade has been deleted

mvp45/mactavish Hi,

I just checked my e-mail, and I recieved one earlier today from HQ, saying the results will be out nearer to the end of the month.

Cheers,
PM

Britishbulls indicat a buy

http://www.britishbulls.com/StockPage.asp?CompanyTicker=YOO&MarketTicker=CYCLICALS&Typ=S

britishbulls was so wrong with EVS, but with YOO with eps of 2p next year on a share price of 10.5p that is stating the obvious that YOO is a buy. britishbulls tips so many shares they are bound to get it right ocassionally.

Looks like those who held on as long as they could for the price to fall back to the 5p - 8p range have well and truly missed the boat now, unless they got in yesterday, the chances of sub 10p could now be gone forever.

It is widely known that the results are going to look good, in comparison to the end of year results without doubt - and still the current price does not reflect what i think we are going to hear in the trading statement looking forward to 2006.

EVO last forcast for 2006 - EPS of 2p share, is well and truly out of date, when you consider the William Hill contract will not kick in until 2006, already William Hill has RNS this week to confirm that Channel 425 and its iTV services will be available in the shops, also, don't forget that since that 2006 forecast, the William Hill contract has greatly enlarged due to their takeover of Stanley Leisure, with the NHS direct contract, via BSKYB due to become more income generating next year, and the C5 Partnership not even costed into those forecasts, as well as the enhancements to Dateline & Avago - the EPS could easily double, and at a PE Ratio of somewhere in the region of 30 - 50, to reflect the massive growth in the UK over the last 3 years, from 300K turnover per annum, to 300 K per day turnover - this really puts Yoomedia's growth into perspective.

In my opinion, way underpriced at present, but am sure a lot of rectification will take place after the results, and through 2006, DYOR - there is plenty out there - DTV & iTV is going to be a fast emerging sector, and Yoomedia are nicely placed at present, with a whole host of high profile clients, which seams to be growing monthly - and that is the type of thing that will get them noticed - poker may have started to get saturated on the internet, but it has barely started on the more popular medium of iTV, and Yoomedia are way ahead of the likes of Sportingbet in this area, don't forget, Yoomedia not only have their own Poker Channel, but are also provideing services to The Poker Channel, as well as William Hill via channel 425 - all this I am sure has not even been factored into the current price.

A little more patience, and by the year end, the fruits of those patience will be well and truly start to roll in IMHO - DYOR.

50 straight buy transactions (1,696,000 shares)in a row since 10.30 am. not one sell. There is a lot of very positive activity here.Kind of brightens the day up. I was in at 23p and thought they would go multiple then( over a period of time). Thanks to the bad press i had a chance to average down and buy at 4p. mactavish , your post very helpful and constructive, thanks.
I think this is one to hold long term and is one of those rare opportunities where a small shareholder could just make a massive profit.IMO

I know,you are going to say i made that post just to DILiberately annoy some body but its not in my nature.
