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!!

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!!

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

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

topped up with 20k at 3p

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

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.

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

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.

What shorters ?

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,

Trading Update & William Hill

RNS Number:1202U

YooMedia PLC ("YooMedia" or the "Company")

Trading Update & William Hill Partnership



YooMedia plc, the AIM-traded interactive media and games group, is pleased to
announce that it has updated its agreement with William Hill, which will result
in improved commercial terms and conditions for YooMedia. These include
providing a daily interactive afternoon show for Channel 425's in-store pilot
for which YooMedia will receive production fees.



YooMedia Chairman, Michael Sinclair, said: "Our partnership with William Hill is
important to the business and we are very happy that this new agreement is in
place. We expect to generate significant ongoing revenue from the partnership
and we are looking forward to being part of William Hill's innovative pilot.




The Company announced in June 2005 and in its interim results released in
September 2005, that its Gambling and Games division would achieve lower than
expected revenue for the year ending 31 December 2005. This underperformance has
continued with the division remaining loss making for the year to date. The
Directors expect the performance of this division to materially improve
following the re-negotiation of the William Hill contract, which will now make a
positive contribution to company profits in 2006. However, due to the time taken
to re-negotiate the contract, the Directors do not believe the Company will be
cash flow positive until the first quarter of 2006 and that market expectation
of EBITDA for 2005 will be below that originally anticipated at the interim
stage. To date the Company has managed the impact of these delays on cash flow
within its banking facilities, and is currently exploring a number of available
options for strengthening its balance sheet.



During the last three months the Board has conducted an in-depth review of the
Company's activities. This has resulted in a decision to explore strategic
alternatives for its Dating division following preliminary approaches from third
parties. The significant value of the Dating business is, in the Director's
opinion, obscured in the Company as a whole. Such alternatives are expected to
provide both increased marketing opportunities for the division and strengthen
the Company's balance sheet.



Further announcements will be made in due course as appropriate.
