I agree with Dil that the accounts do not look good at all being an accountant myself. Although I would also like to point out that Financial Accounts published are based on historical data, therby not predicting the future. Anything could raise the sp a new contract, a takeover bid etc. About the revenues currently no one knows as management accounts are not a compliance document. On the contrary if revenues are bad sp could go down as well....

Dil--you've depressed me now!! I have high hopes and I'm not an accountant so I bow to you and kalsi69--I just feel the company is in a growth area and now they have put all the pieces together we have to wait and see what the result is--a bit like baking a cake for me!

Moneyplus my post was not meant to be pessimistic or optamistic....its was just to show that really no one knows where the shareprice can go....although some critics put alot of emphasis on fundemental analysis it does not always determine the future share price........on the technical side all support levels have been broken which were made in the last 3 years...therefore predicting where its bottomed or going to bottom can be anywhere between 1-10 Pence. Unlike Dil I have invested heavily in this stock as well.....so I am in the same boat as most in this post

I just find it remarkable that people will invest in a company that has burnt through enourmous amounts of shareholders money, failed to deliver or its promises consistantly and has regular management changes.
Other than that it has a lot going for it!
I'd be highly sceptical just on that basis, but hey what a great future it has, apparantly.

For immediate release
16 June 2005
YooMedia PLC ('YooMedia' or the 'Company')
Trading Update
Yoomedia plc today announces that, whilst significant progress has been made
since the acquisition of DITG at the end of 2004, and strong performances have
been achieved by a number of its business divisions, Yoomedia's Games & Gambling
division has experienced lower than expected profit growth, leading to a
revision of the forecast outcome for the full year. As a result the Directors
believe that the results for the year ending 31 December 2005 will be
significantly lower than the Directors had originally anticipated.
Overall, the Company achieved its initial objective of EBITDA break-even in
March this year and has continued to be EBITDA positive. The Directors believe
that the Company will be cash flow positive during the third quarter of this
financial year. Under the Company's banking arrangements, the Chairman has
agreed to replace a guarantee over an element of the facilities previously
provided by a former chairman and director of DITG.
The Company announced the appointment of Neil MacDonald as Group Managing
Director last week. Alongside the other directors, he will be focusing efforts
on the core business streams and key growth initiatives. Yoomedia operates in
several high growth markets and will be announcing and launching a range of new
offerings in these during the second half of 2005. Particular emphasis will be
on new gambling and dating services for the latest generation of digital TV and
mobile phone networks and new interactive TV formats.

There is nothing worst than holding and watching a share crash. I am now in the dubious position of being a holder (bought at 3.5) but these are still high risk and only worth bottom draw hold.

the most likely bad news will be another call for cash either through a rights or open offer. Some really pissed off institutions about me thinks.
