YooMedia is a leading interactive entertainment services and solutions provider, which owns proprietary technology and intellectual property,including time-stamped SMS messaging. It has a blue chip customer base.
The company owns a number of unique assets, including the Freeview data bandwidth, which can be used to broadcast electronic programme guides, and the only independent return path facilities on Sky, which is key to data privacy for customers that compete with Sky.

YooMedia operates a scaleable high-volume transaction platform and e-wallet, which is operable over TV, internet and mobile. Its UK bookmakers licence enables YooMedia to take gambling and betting transactions on the account of both itself and customers via digital TV.

Profitability will be transformed during 2006 and 2007. Steps to refocus the group on B2B services and solutions, together
with initiatives on reducing costs and strengthening the balance sheet, should enable YooMedia to report positive EBITDA in 2006 and full profitability in 2007. A strategic review of Dating is also underway.

We initiate with a BUY recommendation and target price of 9.5p. Our DCF valuation of 12p per share indicates that potential further upside exists beyond our 6-12 month price target, as
the companys financial track record develops and management builds a reputation for delivering against expectations.

Howzitt!!
Looks like we will have to hold yoo for another 6months at least,reasonably good news for those that got in @ current levels.

Digital UK to reach masses via World Cup

Digital UK's 15m advertising campaign aimed at encouraging consumers to switch to digital television has been brought forward to May in order to reach mass audiences tuned into the World Cup. The national marketing campaignpromoting the Government's 2008-2012 switchover timetablehad been due to start in the autumn.

Television and radio ads will feature an animated cartoon character, Digit-Al, voiced by Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas, encouraging the 7.5m UK households that have yet to purchase a digital receiver or set-top box to make the transition before the World Cup kicks off in June.

Ads will be shown on commercial networks as well as the BBC.

Digital UK CEO Ford Ennals said the World Cup presented the industry-funded body responsible for coordinating switchover with an opportunity to reach large audiences.

Last week Screen Digest published a forecast suggesting that while several European countries were likely to miss their switchover deadlines, the UK was on course to complete its region-by-region timetable by the end of 2012.

In December a survey for Digital UK showed awareness of digital switchover was growing.

What the market perceives as fair value for this company is not going to change in the near future imo.

But what the market perceives as fair value for the companies I list below will change for the better in the near future imo.

1) BAA - current market cap 8.2b bid by a spanish consortium for 9b. Now consider that BAA have just bought the Budapest Airport. The extension to Heathrow is going to cost circa 4.5b. The company owns a few other airports. All this asset must put fair value well above 9b imo.

2) ISAT - check it out the chart is breaking out & their fundamentals are good imo.

3) PXC - Have a look rumors of a take over from BT for 350m = share price of 15.75p current share price is 14.1p spread is usually 0.5%

4) GOO - Awating permission, within the next 2 months, from the Peruvian Gov to develop some absolutley huge licence areas right next to existing producing areas. Just a small find will significantly lift the market cap from its paultry 13m.

5) TMC - sitting on the 4th biggest nickle reserve in the world & expecting the go ahead to mine within the next 2 months. Orders for what is in the ground are already in place.

6) KMR - Mine construction already 60% complete will be shipping resources by year end shares trading at about in line with construction progress & resource price increases

etc
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc

All companies that are going to increase significantly in the near future as apposed to Yoomuppets.

AIMO & DYOR.

Hi Stan hows it goin down there

Link to broker note, now on advfn YOO BB. Post number 8211.

Oily Jim

Just surviving, the gangsters, druggies & general riff-raff have taken over large portions of the big smoke.

Did PTK see the yoo broker note? In short, go short. Results out in April are going to show a loss of 9m for 2005 & they are forecasting losses to continue for this year too 3m & thats bullish for 2006 if one take the hopes & prayers out of it. Another thing is the 21m income from all divisions for 2005 is only set to increase to 26m for 2006.

Anyway enough about this piddly monkey co.

Have you been on any diving expeditions lately? Seen any penguins?

The Gull you dont have a clue have you read the broker report yet before you make inaccurate comments

Brokers notes are there to selll stock in case you hadn't arrived in the 21st century.

Gull, I'm planning a trip down to the North Falklands to trial my new oil sniffer seal !

GOO seem to be getting going now with 1st well in Peru drilling April / May

mCentric Joins Forces with YooMediaPLC to Conquer Mobile Chat & Dating Services

mCentric is pleased to announce its partnership with YooMediaPLC, one of the fastest growing interactive entertainment companies in the UK. YooMedia essentially develops and delivers premium interactive content and services to households and individuals via TV, the web, telephony and mobile phones.

mCentrics mobile operator clients across the globe will enjoy more and better Community and Dating services across both 2.5 and 3G handsets.


David Bainbridge, Managing Director at YooMedia comments on the alliance:

We are pleased to be working in partnership with mCentric bringing
value to our clients' customers. By providing a complete suite of
products and services for consumer generated content, costs will be
reduced, revenues increased and greater customer choice provided.

Kevin Daly, CEO of mCentric adds:

The combination of mCentric and YooMedia strengths creates the
leading proposition for Mobile Carriers in the Chat and Dating space.

The new service enables subscribers to harness the power of video to find a prospective partner through the use of a simple and intuitive user interface on a 3G mobile handset.

Info on mCentric:
"In recent years the company has achieved strong annual revenue growth with a multitude of international sales in Europe, Asia and Africa. Reference customers include Vodafone, Telefica Miles, Sun Cellular in Asia and MTN Nigeria."

So plenty of potential there to exploit the partnership.

All these new announcements are very encouraging IMO--long term the finances will be well into the black. Look at the massively increased turnover figure shown in the recent update--the faithful will soon reap their rewards!! I very much hope I'm right as a friend who is into this type of technology says the city just doesn't realise how mega yoo's tech is going to be--miles ahead of any competitor. I'm tucking away for 2 years.

moneyplus

"as a friend who is into this type of technology says the city just doesn't realise how mega yoo's tech is going to be" we have all heard that type of comment to many times about yoomedia, but all we see are fire sales & losses ongoing.


Oily Jim's oil sniffing seals, I like that! LOL!! GOO is looking good.

Dear Mr Bainbridge

Forgive the intrusion. I have seen the press today about your
appointment by the BBC. Does that mean that you will be formally leaving
Yoomedia.
Regards

All the bottle merchants selling. I do not know what the big deal is anyway, a director going to the BBC is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for him as the BBC is a world wide organisation and as they are already partners with Yoomedia, I envisage more deals and opportunities coming Yoomedia's way. Great opportunity for topping up at these levels.
