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.

Courtesy of Kimboy on ADVFN well respected poster on there who sold out today.



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 I suspect the problem is that Cornell are saying that they have not been given full information and have withdrawn from the deal that they are a signatory to.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.

tvc15 - 11 May 2006 19:29 - 3578 of 3776

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 +

ebbooscumbag - 11 May 2006 20:11 - 3579 of 3776

Busted flush.

Strong sell.

Worth 2p max.

tvc15 - 11 May 2006 22:15 - 3580 of 3776

Even got a mention on Channel 4 teletext p513.

tvc15 - 11 May 2006 22:28 - 3581 of 3776

Knife edge for sure...what happened today was absolutely SHOCKING, never seen anything so desperate and bloody shameless...no way should any private investor park their money at this potential disaster....the RNS was pathetic and arrogant in the extreme....

tvc15 - 12 May 2006 14:39 - 3582 of 3776

No wonder today isn't any better for YOO. This went out this morning.

Hey tv boy and anyone else reading. Red across the board today but YOO was unchanged! A small victory on a downward spiral but worth pitching against all the vitriol on this thread :-)

moneyplus - 12 May 2006 19:41 - 3584 of 3776

a few posters on advn are not so pessimistic-worth a look as some comments make sense and it cheers me up a little!

queen1 - 12 May 2006 21:51 - 3585 of 3776

Cheers moneyplus. Isn't it nice to see posts that aren't one-way suicide notes?!

Dil - 13 May 2006 00:32 - 3586 of 3776

queeney , remind us at wot price you first sang their praises ????

xxx

queen1 - 13 May 2006 11:01 - 3587 of 3776

Ah dil my love - the walking advert for assisted suicide. How is life in that dark hole from which you regularly appear? Rank & fetid as ever?

queen1 - 13 May 2006 11:04 - 3588 of 3776

Oh and for the record, I have never sung the company's praises. I just don't like non-holders making it their life's mission to talk down the share (or any share for that matter that they don't own). The market seems quite capable of doing that itself without your "help".

Dil - 14 May 2006 11:19 - 3589 of 3776

Never talked it down mate , just said it as I see it ... I've never had the fortune to own a pair of those rose tinted glasses that many on here wore.

Kisses.

ebbooscumbag - 14 May 2006 17:46 - 3590 of 3776
