let's hope for good news tomorrow-results I believe!

Remember investor bible commandment No.1 'Buy on rumor sell on results'

results are delayed due to finance directors illness but an announcement will be made this week giving a new date. this is from advn thread. lots of buying today and very few sells. nkirkup-I've got a long way to go up before I can even think about selling!!

roflmao .... got the sh*ts has he ???

Oh dear they've spent all your money AGAIN and had to go begging for more AGAIN.

More dilution and more jam tomorrow.

"results are delayed due to finance directors illness"

LOL! Never heard that one before, this situation looks really desperate, more fund raising as well. I wonder what it will take to wake up holders before they lose the lot. Come on guys, it's pretty obvious things are not right here the company is doing anything to raise new capital to keep going, surely you can see that now?

Hate to admit this another EVS in the making?

This is nothing other than bad news. They have had to raise extra funding. One of the placees, who we thought was getting a good deal, has dropped out. The terms of the deal have been radically altered in order to induce another placee.

Mangement isn't telling us the truth and to my way of thinking if you can't trust the management you shouldn't have the share.

The one question I have is: If Sinclair and Noe are so wealthy, why didnt they just provide personal loans from their personal fortunes rather than dilution. ?

I give up-nothing to say to defend this anymore -Dil wins!!

Not over til the fat lady sings but the only people that appear to be getting a good return are the directors !

The directors have done very well out of this company, shame the shareholders have lost so much. Small cap stocks never cease to amaze me.

Let me tell you what will happen over the next few months.

Any time the bid gets above 4.25p we'll see some of those 30m new shares trickled out. This will take a long time if the market is not to be wrecked and will keep the price permanently depressed. Platinum and Highbridge will have as much time as they need to convert at very low levels, maximizing dilution.

To me the facts are very clear.

1. They had to raise 7.5m to pay off a bank loan on the 29th March. The convertible loan was said to be "the most effective financial instrument". This depends what your alternatives are but if you are in a normal situation a bank loan is the most effective financial instrument. It is absolutey clear the bank weren't happy.

2. They said it would "enhance the customer base". This is a BS excuse for dilution. If these people wanted shares they could buy them.

3. The peculiar structure of the deal suggested that they expected the price to increase in the short term, hence the cap on the amount they could convert. This is contradictory. If they expected things to improve in the short term, i.e. news flow etc, why not issue shares once it was out. This indicates a short term financial crisis.

4. Today we learn one of the partners in the loan agreement, Cornell, have pulled out. They will no doubt have signed agreements etc. So are YOO going to sue them. I suspect the problem is that Cornell are saying that they have not been given full information and have withdrawn from the deal that they are a signatory to.

5. The fact that the other signatory has also renegotiated the terms of the deal clearly indicates something fundamentally wrong. it's not just a problem with Cornell.

6. Today they have had to raise a futher 1.3m on top of the 7.5m they raised 6 weeks ago, or thought they had. Why do they need another 1.3m? Why didn't they raise it at the same time? This is for me clear evidence of a mangement that has lost a financial grip. It is no longer in control of events.

7. The fact that the limit on the conversion has been lowered from 12p to 5.5p and won't affect the "upside potential" can only mean they don't expect the price to rise.

I believe this is going to be a very big sector of business and that Yoomedia no doubt has some good products. However the mangement are poor, very poor. In my view an investment in YOO is an investment in hope rather than expectation.

I sold out today at a loss. I wish all holders the best of luck, I think you might need it.

The Stockmarket Report.

Elsewhere, Yoomedia wasn't so fortunate, after discounted placing news sent shares 1.125p lower to 4.5p. The interactive media and games specialist said it had raised 1.3 million pounds via a placing of 30.59 million shares at 4.25p. The fundraising move comes as part of its plans to refinance in order to continue the repositioning of its various product offerings.

Desperation stakes!!! to do what they did today shows that YOO is absolutely desperate for cash, and that tells the world that YOO cannot be CF + ...what happened today is as good as an RNS that says not CF +

Busted flush.

Strong sell.

Worth 2p max.
