Supposed to be EVO on the offer.

Another 250k buy "M" trade just went thru'.

I've noticed that the YOO share price is less volatile than most. Re this mornings trades: (i) the total is only 400K which is not large against the cap. and compares with something like 2m for SEO and BPRG on the same sort of cap.; (ii) it porbably implies that the MMs have a line to sell on behalf of one of the institutions who bought in at 15p. These shares are bound to overhang the market for a while, as I think they have done. I don't see it as a problem because the persistant buying on positive news will eventually see us through to higher ground: iPublic's 200m cap, is very reasonable and could quickly follow projections from EVO.

good post Mr Robson...

200k delayed buy just went thtu'.

Business Strategy of the Enlarged Group

The Acquisitions will create one of the largest independent iTV and media
businesses in the UK. The key strategy of the Enlarged Group will be to exploit
fully the operating strengths within YooMedia, DITG and TGC and in so doing
build on the benefits and opportunities that are provided by combining the
businesses into a single entity.

The Enlarged Group Board has identified the following as key objectives:
* achieve positive cashflow for the Enlarged Group by 31 March 2005. The
Enlarged Group Directors have targeted this period based on anticipated revenue
growth and margin improvements within the Enlarged Group. The Enlarged Group
Directors have prepared a detailed integration plan which they intend to
implement immediately following Completion;
* cement its position and become one of the largest broadcasters of gambling
channels and interactive services in the UK. A key element of this strategy will
be the continued promotion of Channel 425 by working closely with William Hill
to develop the channel and expand the service to cable;
* launch of new broadcasting channels to expand the Group's dating and games
brands using DITG's existing technology, infrastructure and other resources;
* expand the service offering of the iPublic division, taking advantage of the
Government's desire to provide public information and transaction services
through iTV and mobile;
* expand the business into new international territories following the growth of
digital television, particularly in the US where the Enlarged Group Board
believes digital television will continue to grow; and
* develop and expand its portfolio of mobile and text to TV services both for
broadcasters looking to increase interactivity and for retailers looking to
increase consumer awareness of their brands

Wonder what the unknown 1,000,000 share trade was at 16.30?

Think was a sell as you get 20.5p to sell online but there again it could have also been a buy at midprice, discount for buying a million. Another good sign is MM buying at full price, I think it is set to mover higher this week IMHO. Again you can ask yourself if it is a sell why would they give 0.5p over the selling price for 1 million shares, very doubtful to me if the shares are not needed by someone.

When is the EVO statement due?

any time after 21st of this month.

Cheers mactavish

Anyone know what's going on with yoo this morning. Complete opposite to yesterday with loads of sells. Did the mm's scare everyone off yeaterday by not raising the price?

This is annoying snaylor. Millions of buys yesterday and the price doesnt move. A few hundred thousand sells today and the price falls????? I am i just being naive or is that just a tad unfair?

Could be the mms very short of stock and trying to panic people into selling--check out grevis on the evs -envesta thread he explains the ways of the mms. They must have sold all those millions yesterday now they need to cover it. They're not having mine!! cheers MP

wHAT DOES IT TELL YOU THAT LESS THAN 100,000 BUYS AND THE BID GOES UP .75 COULD IT BE THAT THE OVERHANG HAS NOW GONE AND THEY NEED STOCK.

Well all i can say is that the MM'S tree shake not very successful.

I can't see today's level of prices lasting after the results are out, so between now and the results, I feel with all the positive news out in the open, and with a broker upgrade out soon, time is against anyone buying at these lows - here are the highlights from the last couple of months:-

1) Successful reverse takeover of DITG Group - making Yoomedia second only to BSKYB in the UK Digital TV arena, complete with its own iTV gaming channels, and now owner of a third party red button return path for iTV - all very good news for the medium to long term as the UK and Worldwide take up of digital increases on a daily basis.

2) Yoomobile - now looking like the choice of many top Broadcasters to add interactivity to their digital and anologue broadcasts - based on the fact that the medium can be used anywhere there is a TV - therefore not resticting to playing and participating at home - also, interactive advertising is on the increase enabling advertisers to keep in touch and build a database of its customers, Yoomobile via its client, Celador, is now rolling out this technology worldwide, across all the 100+ countries that Who Wants To be A Millionaire is broadcast, and is able to support the timestamping SMS technology that Yoomobile is able to provide, other clients from the broadcasting world include, BBC, C4, C5, ITV and C5 - let me see, that is all the mainstream national broadcasters that hold most of the share of the TV ratings - not also forgetting that Yoomedia is the only iTV provider that is able to interact on all UK digital mediums - Freeview, BSKYB, NTL & Telewest - by 2012 Yoomedia will have access to every household in the UK - fact, as the anologue airwaves are needed elsewhere.

3) It has also come to light over the last week, that Yoomedia are behind the high profile KitKash national campaign, commisioned by Worldwide company Nestle - already major prizes such as a new Peugeot 206 and 5000.00 holiday have been given away - the success of this campaign is sure to attract other high level advertisers to try this idea for customer loyalty and building of a customer data base.

4) Successful launch of Fancy A Flutter online - net sales above 1 million per month based more than 1 million paid out in winnings.

5) To top all of this, it is great to see a high level of interest from major institutions such as Lloyds TSB, Scottish Widows, Perpetual and Universities Superanuation Scheme - between them they have taken a 16.10 % stake in the company - I am happy to be in the company of such investors.

Unless all the analysts are wrong regarding the growth of DTV worldwide, the growth of online and iTV gambling, I can't see any reason for Yoomedia not to grow substantially over the next 10 years - just look at the tunover growth of BSKYB over the last 5 years, together with its profit growths - Yoomedia are now taking advantage of all the monies spent by the likes of BSKYB and Freeview in getting the hardware into peoples homes - a great business model, as used by eBay to acheive 45 fold growth over the last 3 years ( Microsoft and all the PC manuafactures paid for the hardwork of getting the internet and hardware into peoples homes )

Today's drop is down to short termers taking profits, and you can't blaim them, if I was a short termer, I too would be pleased with 20% growth over the last couple of months - but the exodus is not that great, only 325 K of sales, which is pretty insignificant in the big picture, and as I type, the price is back on the up - as more buyers come in to buy at these low levels.
