the most advanced mobile interactive video on demand services for 3G network
operators, television broadcasters, content publishers, content producers and

BroadbandTV with a highly scalable, carrier grade solution, supporting both UK
and international applications.

Commenting on the launch, All New Video CEO, David Atkins said, 'I am genuinely

Its you with your head up your ar*e not me mate.

mactavish - 31 Jan 2006 20:52 - 3281 of 3776

thanks to Paul Smith.


Get down to your off license tomorrow - as February 1st is the official launch of the Yoomedia Budweiser promotion - in the run up to the World Cup, Buweiser will be releasing the promotion Europe wide on 120 million bottles of its beer.

This is not only good for Yoomedia for this promotion, but also, such a prominent promotion will bring the company to the attention of many companies, not only in the UK, but Europe too.

We will all very soon see what this promotion is all about ourselves, and then we can get as excited as the Yoomedia management, who are very excited about the whole thing.

On another note, do not under estimate the gravity of the recent deal with Sony, or the latest 3G RNS, as has the market in general judging by the current SP, take advantage of this grossly undervalued SP while you can, it won't be around much longer IMHO - DYOR

In 2009, even if I rammed a copy of the audited FY results for 2008, showing a 14m profit, up your back passage, you would still post your one line drivel.

From thefutureisyoo on ADVFN, cant know how genuine this is but worth a read........................


I am an ex Yoomedia employee having left after Christmas. THE MOST pleasant working experience of my life and Eddie is just an amazing boss. I hold lots of shares and every current employee also does.

The problem the company has had in the past is that it has been ahead of the market. Digital technology is here to stay and it is finally in a position to take advantage without any worries, be they financial or technology related.

Since September the company was refocusing - trying to ensure that they turned cashflow positive and profitable. Memos were sent to us thanking us for our work. All they needed was a break from one of their biggest clients - William Hill. Changing the terms of the original contract took 5 months - which was way too long. Then the specific technology we had developed for them couldn't be implemented because they had taken over another betting chain. Despite this, they were very nearly in the black in November.

The top guys decided that the technology which Yoomedia have, and I would agree with them 100%, is the best in the world. They are shortly, hopefully, about to be granted a worldwide patent. It is better to concentrate on the technology than running TV channels. The taking over of Avago channel by Gala has been underrated by the market and this will be demonstrated over and over again in the coming years. Yoomedia have a good deal now with W Hill. Gosh, if they had this in the beginning of 2005 they would have profitable now. They leased Yooplay to Cell-Cast months ago and saved money on costs. The biggest partnetship they have in terms of future revenues is with ICTV and there is plenty to come on that front. Taking advantage of spare bandwidth was just a revelation and came out of the blue one summers day. That will generate lost of money in clear profit this year and beyond. As far as the Dating Division goes, Josie Adams basically said that there is no value attached to it in Yoomedia. The top guys are basically stuck as what to do. Float it for tens of millions, sell it for tens of millions or retain an interest. They have set a deadline to themselves of March to make a final decision. Shareholders will not be disappointed.

I believe YES is the money generator. Yoomedia are signing deals day in and day out, week in and week out. I am looking forward to the new brokers note as they were around the company a lot in November and December to try and appreciate how the company works. Their note should reflect very well what exactly we did there.

I do not intend to make many posts here. The technology will speak for itself. It gets more and more noticed everyday with calls from Europe and the USA companies. Yoomedia is a company that has a secure, yes secure future, and a very bright one. This year is the one where it all comes together. The CEOs personal ambition is to make it a worldleader in its field. I have no doubt it will get there.

Trading Update

RNS Number:9451X
Yoomedia PLC
06 February 2006

YooMedia plc / Ticker: YOO / Index: AIM / Sector: Media

6 February 2006

YooMedia plc
("the Company" or "YooMedia")


Trading Update


This trading update has been made to provide information on trading performance
in 2005 in advance of YooMedia's Final Results for the year ended 31 December
2005, which are expected to be released in April 2006.


YooMedia announces that unaudited, provisional and indicative results for the
year ended 31 December 2005 are in line with the Board's expectation. The
company announced in June 2005 that the original profit forecasts would not be
met following slower growth and delayed project implementation on Channel 425,
the interactive channel operated with William Hill.


Unaudited results (#m)

2005 2004
Turnover 84.5 21.2
Net revenues 21.8 16.3
Gross profit 7.8 (0.2)
EBITDA (2.9) (7.2)


As a result of this, a range of measures has been implemented to ensure that the
Company is well placed to achieve positive EBITDA in 2006.


These include:


o New commercial terms were agreed with William Hill with effect from
November 2005

o In December 2005 an agreement was made with Gala Leisure under which
Gala acquired key assets of the Avago channel and YooMedia will benefit from a
three year revenue sharing agreement. The agreement provides for YooMedia to
exit from producing its own channel, and to discontinue ownership of, and
operating under, the Avago brand

o Cost reduction measures have been implemented to reduce staffing and
satellite bandwidth costs

o The chat service previously on Telewest and the YooPlay interactive
games channel previously on Sky's Interactive Menu have been discontinued

o Three new agreements for YooMedia's Datacasting service for Freeview
have been announced

o Extensive marketing of the Broadband TV proposition has commenced,
following the completion of the pilot service on ntl, the cable network operator

o Take up of YooMedia's mobile phone based marketing solutions has
increased following a dedicated sales campaign


The Gambling & Games division had net revenue of #6.4m and a gross loss of #1.3m
from gambling and games turnover of #69.1m. Instead of operating its own brands
YooMedia has repositioned the focus of this business to be a supplier of
interactive gambling and games to other businesses. Key clients in this division
are William Hill and Gala Leisure.


The net result of this re-positioning is expected to produce a net annualised
benefit to earnings before interest, tax and depreciation of at least #3.5m.


Net turnover of the Interactive Services division was #10.9m with gross profit
#6.3m.


YooMedia Dating turnover was #4.5m and gross profit #2.8m. Branded businesses in
this division include Dateline, Dateline One to One and Avenues. A strategic
review of this division has been undertaken with a view to a potential sale or
spin off of the business in 2006.


As part of the strategic review of the YooMedia Dating division, the Company has
reached an agreement with the 25% minority shareholders in YooMedia Dating to
acquire their shares for a consideration of 19,230,770 shares in YooMedia plc.
A further consideration of #500,000, also payable in YooMedia plc shares, will
be paid on certain performance criteria being met.


Michael Sinclair, Executive Chairman said: "2005 was a challenging year for the
Company but the decisive action taken to reposition the business is delivering
results. We believe that with our proprietary technology and experienced team
YooMedia will play an integral role in the rapidly maturing interactive media
market. The last few months have seen a high volume of activity which we expect
to maintain as we continue to build and develop relationships with key blue chip
companies."

TANKER - 06 Feb 2006 10:39 - 3293 of 3776

yes now for 20p plus very soon.

The Gull - 06 Feb 2006 19:46 - 3294 of 3776

Todays news is not new. It confirms the fact that the company lost money last year after stating it would make money last year. Now they are saying the same about this year that it SHOULD make money. Looks like losses for year ending 2005 after EBITDA are going to be >10m

But it could still be showing a loss for the H1 2006 & that would be bad news!

I see that 20,000,000 of the 200,000,000 have already found their way onto the market after 6 weeks. As I have said before this is going to keep the lid on any potentially significant rise in share price. REMEMBER NOW BOYS & GIRLS THERE ARE STILL 180,000,000 MORE SHARES WAITING TO BE DUMPED ONTO THE MARKET!

Anyway DYOR & dont let the rampers pull the wool over you eyes.
