Cellcast plc
02 June 2006


Press Release 2 June 2006


Cellcast plc

('Cellcast' or 'the Company')

Trading Update


Cellcast plc (AIM:CLTV), a global interactive digital broadcaster, today
provides a trading update for its current financial year ending 31 December
2006.


The recent changes to the listings of channels by Sky Digital (altering the
location of the Company's channels on Sky's Electronic Programme Guide 'EPG')
and the delay in revenues arising from some of the Company's international
investments has had a negative impact on the Company's performance. The Board
anticipates that the market forecasts for the current financial year will not be
met.


Turnover for the year is expected to be below market expectations as a result of
the delays in the revenues from the Company's international projects. However,
turnover in the UK is robust and is significantly ahead of the same period last
year but profitability has been impacted by the EPG reorganisation which has
created scheduling inefficiencies and has made navigation difficult for the
regular viewers of the Company's programmes.


As a result the Board anticipates that the Company will show a loss before tax
for the current financial year. This revised expectation does not take into
account any possible earnings from its programmes on the Freeview platform as it
is too early in the implementation process to assess what these might be.


The Board has already taken positive steps to address the issue of Sky Digital's
EPG reorganisation. The Company has introduced new formats, redeployed
bandwidth and has increased marketing of all its channels to help viewers locate
them on the EPG. In addition, the Company has reduced production costs as well
as operating expenses which will provide significant cost savings going forward.


Despite the reduced expectation for the current year the Board remains confident
of the growing international and domestic demand for the Company's proprietary
products and services which is already proven in multiple markets.

Recieved an email from Isabel Crossley on the 1/06/06, would it be possible to cut and paste it to this board if so could some one explain how to do it.

Hi,



I am writing in response to a number of shareholder emails that the Directors have received, expressing their concerns re the fall in YooMedias share price.



While general market conditions have been volatile and the concerns about global growth have impacted markets around the world, we really dont believe that this should have depressed the share price to its current levels. Although YooMedia reported a loss on 26.05.06, the figures were in line with expectations and the underlying improvement in the fundamentals should have been evident. This position has subsequently been supported by independent analysts comments.



I know the recent Chairmans Statement outlined the business, but I thought maybe youd find it helpful if I quickly run over where YooMedia stands at the moment. Essentially its transformed itself over the last 12 months and is now a leading interactive media and games group. Following a strategic review last year, the Company realised the need to make some key changes to the business. This included amongst others the appointment of new management, a change of the Companys advisory team, the renegotiation of the William Hill contract, the implementation of an extensive cost cutting programme, a reduction in losses, a refinancing to strengthen the balance sheet and the streamlining of activities to truly utilize its strengths.



As a result of these changes, it is now in a good position to capitalize on its position. It has got some great technology and a whole list of blue-chip clients including William Hill, Gala Leisure, the NHS Direct Interactive and ITV. It has also targeted the marketing and advertising sector and is working with major brands such as Boots, Nestle and Anheuser Busch. Furthermore, it has contracts with Electra Entertainment, Gemstar TV Guide, and tvtv, a branch of Sony UK Ltd, which are all using its new data casting service to deliver enhanced services to Freeview viewers.



One of the remaining issues is to negotiate a corporate deal for the dating business. As mentioned in the prelims statement, Seymour Pierce is assisting in generating as much value as possible from this division and a number of options are being pursued.



On a more general level, a number of shareholders have asked for further details with regards to contracts signed by the Company. Please understand that we update the market with as much information as were able to in accordance with the requirements of the London Stock Exchange. Some deals have commercial sensitivity and so partners may request that we withhold certain information. We have to play a totally level playing field so to provide additional information to individual shareholders would be to breach the AIM rules.



Another question we are being asked is when will YooMedia be cash flow positive? While I know the Directors would like to disclose this information, the Companys advisers have instructed us not to reveal this information on an unaudited basis Im afraid our hands are tied.



In terms of the outlook for the Company, we expect there to be considerable news flow in the coming months. To quote the Chairmans recent statement: 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.



I will contact you again when a date for the AGM has been agreed as I know the Directors would appreciate your attendance to clarify in person the Companys position and answer any more questions.



In the meantime, please do contact me and I will help where possible, although obviously I can only provide information which is already in the public domain.



Kind regards,



Isabel Crossley.

Nice bit of side stepping by Ms Crossley ... she a budding politician imo.

tvc15 - 05 Jun 2006 16:25 - 3700 of 3776

A one million protected sell just went thru'. Institution wanting out?

Yoomedia


Aim. The games and gambling part of Yoomedia contributed most revenue, but the joint venture with William Hill disappointed. New money was raised through a placing and the issue of loan notes.

I think William Hill is dead in the water!!

tvc15 - 07 Jun 2006 08:53 - 3702 of 3776

Thanks to Old wise owl on iii.


I said on this board that if I thought i had got it wrong I would resign from the board.

I have to say that my confidence in this stock has dived along with the price, no directors dealing even at these levels, ever falling price, cr*p e mail response from the company, no news on dating which has been going on for ages. If there was genuine interest in the business then they would have said so or concluded details of a sale/float by now.

Bought in when these last hit 3.5p and took profit at higher levels and bought back in which lost me some of my profit.

Just get a bad sense that this company will announce bad news and the price dives and then the management get the co. on the cheap. cannot take the risk so good luck to all who are staying. I quit, well done to those who bailed earlier!!

moneyman - 07 Jun 2006 10:49 - 3703 of 3776

Time to buy. 3p available for the brave ;-)

tvc15 - 07 Jun 2006 12:36 - 3704 of 3776

I million plus sell, Looks like an institution selling bits at a time.

john50 - 07 Jun 2006 13:19 - 3705 of 3776

topped up with 20k at 3p

tvc15 - 07 Jun 2006 15:05 - 3706 of 3776

You can buy 500,000 online but only sell 37,500, don't look good to me.

tvc15 - 07 Jun 2006 15:57 - 3707 of 3776

Taken from iii.


If any of the amazing growth that you mention was worth a candle the share price wouldn't be next to nothing now. I interpret the qualification in the last accounts to mean that they aren't going to get any more fundiing the next time that they need it and so will go bankrupt very shortly indeed. Also it seems like the directors are distancing themselves now. One of them is no longer guaranteeing a loan to the company I believe.
Yoo look like toast to me.

tvc15 - 07 Jun 2006 16:14 - 3708 of 3776

1p is fair value for this 1 billion share company 1p 1 billion = 10m ???

moneyman - 08 Jun 2006 09:56 - 3709 of 3776

I suggest that people DYOR as these shorters are looking desperate. When they close we shall see a big volume day and a good rise in the shareprice.

Dil - 08 Jun 2006 13:17 - 3710 of 3776

What shorters ?

moneyman - 08 Jun 2006 14:01 - 3711 of 3776

IMPORTANT I THINK--Closed periods!!!! STIG2 6
I have been out all day so have not been following anything, so the following I took as good news and enlightening.

There have been conflicting claims from various parties as to whether the Directors of Yoomedia are in a closed period at the moment. This would obviously give a reason why the Directors haven't bought at these levels. Yesterday I emailed Isabel Crossley to spell out the confusion between her quoted statement and the one given by MS and to ask for verification. She has sent me the following reply which I felt was very encouraging until I read a post from Wdragon on ADVFN today.
He seems to be in the know to a certain extent although I cannot fathom his position as yet, and therefore am a little reticent to take his word as gospel as it keeps changing. Debate welcome:-)

Dear Mrs. Crossley,
Could I beg your indulgence to satisfy a query I have regarding Yoomedia PLC. In a recent post on an investors website it has been reported that you have stated that, the Yoomedia Directors are no longer in a closed period after the 26th May 2006 RNS release and are therefore at liberty to purchase share in Yoomedia PLC.
This seems to be in contradiction to another investors postquoting Dr. M. Sinclair CE as saying, that the Directors of Yoomedia PLC are still in a closed period until after the AGM for the year end results for which the date has yet to be disclosed, and therefore the Directors are still not at liberty to purchase shares in Yoomedia PLC.
I would be very obliged if you could clarify the matter for me as the two statements due not seem to be compatible. Thanking you in anticipation of your attention.

Yours faithfully,
XXXXXXXXX

Hi there,
I have just spoken to the nomad to confirm the situation who informed me that because of the Company's position re Dateline, the directors are unable to buy shares at this time.
Kind regards,
Isabel
