iPublic, any idea about results, like Dy says I thought we were due something.

Market cap now only 69m, what an outstanding opportunity for a long term growth investment.

Latest news from YOO HQ, is results by mid April or much sooner, may or may not announce the date.

Broker note on morning of results day.

From one of my fellow shareholders:

Yoo are holding back the results to see if they can announce cash flow positive for Q1 at the same time

If there was no chance ie. bad news we would have know the date by now

no news in this case is good news because of accounting adjustments

if they adopt new EU standards the good will write offs taken so far could be written back reducing loss by 0.5m. Treatment of tax and NI on director share options will also boost figures

these take time to produce hence delaying figures

EVO want to drag this lower today

something definately afoot...

lets not try n make any sense of todays price movements huh?
All I know is its nice to see some blue!
might even buy some more.....before I have to go back for more medication!!

Dont seem to want people to buy raising offer to 17.5p. Something afoot alright.

yes, but you can buy as low as 16.7...

Cheers iPublic.

Cheers iPublic.

016622: why the comment that evo want it to go lower. So that they can be knights riding to the rescue on prelims day? Reason for day well into April is so that quarterly figures can be quoted alongside last year which won't be that meaningful. Good top up opportunity but no free cash - and so say all of us! Hopefully we will be adding shortly: for they are jolly good fellows...!

Eric

Haven't made a contribution here but I am in and am looking for some good long term growth. This has the look of a very solid company with tremendous potential. Yes it is early days but thats thats the time to get in.
Good look to all holders.

Some interesting reading on Channel 4 Teletext page 508..........

TIME TO GAMBLE ON BETTING FIRMS?

Analysts at Merrill Lynch are downbeat on bookmakers prospects. William Hills
telephone betting arm is coming under competitive pressures from exchanges
such as Betfair, says ML.
"Fixed Odds Betting Terminals" are suffering from the effects of the code of
conduct and could be subject to a higher tax regime in the future.
A smoking ban in 2007 could also put off customers going into betting shops.

Why visit the bookies when you can smoke, drink and gamble from your armchair imo....lol.

TIME TO GAMBLE ON BETTING FIRMS?

Interactive is the fastest growing of William Hills divisions with 292,000
customers at the end of 2004, compared with 247,000 a year earlier.

Over 60,000 people play Ladbrookes online poker games.
Pokermillion will pay a $1m prize this year.

William Hill has launched its own TV Station on Sky Channel 425, so customers
can bet while watching TV, and a range of products for 3G mobile phones.

TIME TO GAMBLE ON BETTING FIRMS?

Gamcare, a charity that works with problem gamblers, said the average debt of
clients rose 9% to 20,642 in 2003.

Fixed odds betting terminals caused considerable problems for 14% of its clients
having been "nowhere" in 2002.

It added that 5% of clients now said the internet was their main means of
gambling, but betting using INTERACTIVE TELEVISION featured for the first time,
the charity said.

Looks like its building up nicely...imo..

hi,

usually this share drops like a stone when there are sells...friday was the most sells i have ever seen (have only been watching about 2 months) and the price rises?

i dont get it. does anyone?

April will be an extremely interesting month.

My position, 550k long.

cavman, most "sells" were actually buys if you study the mid price / price / time movements. Also "big" buys are offered "discount" prices.

Eric, EVO move this share price around like i've never seen before! (well...not every day) they lower their bid to 3p below highest offer and then take their offer to the top of the tree.
Can't blame them for doing this, you would have to keep interest in this share if you owned that many!

Steve.

Aquisition of Viavision

Yoomedia PLC
04 April 2005


Embargoed until 07:00
4 April 2005

YooMedia plc ('YooMedia' or the 'Company')

YooMedia plc Acquires ViaVision Ltd

YooMedia plc, the UK's biggest independent interactive media company,
specialising in gaming, dating and the public sector, today announces the
acquisition of ViaVision Ltd ('ViaVision'), an independent broadcaster and
production company focused on the digital broadcast market.

YooMedia acquired 15 per cent of the issued share capital of ViaVision with the
acquisition of DITG in December 2004. The agreement is for the acquisition of
the balance of the issued share capital of ViaVision, currently held privately
by a number of shareholders. The shares have been purchased for a total
consideration of 8,500,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company
('Ordinary Shares'). Of this total consideration 6,800,000 Ordinary Shares are
to be paid immediately, with the remaining 1,700,000 Ordinary Shares to be paid
as deferred consideration subject to the net current assets of ViaVision on
completion.

ViaVision manages five satellite television channels on the BSkyB platform, five
interactive television applications, four supporting websites and multiple
production projects. The company operates broadcast studios in the City of
London. Its range of entertainment and specialist TV channels includes Exchange
and Mart and Game-In.

Game-In TV, shortly to be rebranded as PokerZone TV, provides red-button gaming
to over 12,000 regular players, ranging from fixed-odds gaming formats to
traditional pub games and racing, on the Sky platform. A poker night featuring
documentaries and tournaments from around the world is broadcast every Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday.

The acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings-enhancing. ViaVision
reported a pre-tax loss of 331,000 on revenues of 1.3m in the year to 31
December 2004. Application has been made for 6,800,000 Ordinary Shares, which
will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to
trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will occur on 8 April 2005.

Dr Michael Sinclair, chairman of YooMedia plc, said: 'This acquisition
consolidates our position in gaming and through Via Vision's work with Game-In
TV we gain crucial exposure to the poker market. It enables us to apply our
interactive media and mobile skills to poker, which is one of the fastest
growing content plays in our industry.'
