TAKE A LOOK AT THIS COMPANY , THEY ARE GOING TO VERY WELL AND SHORT TERM ARE LOOKING VERY ATTRACTIVE AS WELL . TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHART. THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROJECT THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING UP AND ON THAT NEWS ALONE WILL SHOOT UP 20 TO 30 PER CENT. they are way undervalued and trading results bear this out.

never did like either COH or CFE (which looks to have had a share consolidation) ..... imo, neither have a snowball's chance of surviving

Looks like the market does not like them either massive drop on COH this morning. Could be a 10p share very soon if this trend keeps on.

I wonder where all those are who were " firm" there was a bid coming?

I believe the only thing to be coming here is yet another cash call!

Looks more now like massive share dumping due to an unfavorable economic outlook for the region.

Looks as if those who bought in at over 40p on false bid rumours will have really burnt their sausages.

Nice positive statement... i have just topped up today...

you have selective reading ...... rns in full is below ..... i see a number of cautionary comments and no profits!


Growth slows at Coffeeheaven International
Coffee house operator Coffeeheaven International said like-for-like sales rose 16% in the six months ended 30th September 2008. This compared to 20% growth the year before.

The group has 90 stores currently trading in 7 markets (Poland: 54, Czech Republic: 19, Latvia: 8, Bulgaria: 4, Hungary: 2, Slovakia: 2, Romania: 1)

Overall group revenues from continuing operations increased 82% or 39% at constant currency rates to 11.9m after particularly strong growth in its two main markets Poland and Latvia.

Richard Worthington, Executive Chairman of the Group, commented: 'We have yet to see any major impact on trading from the current global financial crises other than in the Czech Republic.

However we do see deterioration in longer-term prospects in a few of our markets. In response, we are pro-actively reducing relevant development expenditures in these markets, increasing cash resources by selling under-performing assets and looking to close a small number of loss-making stores. We believe these are sensible prudent steps given current market conditions.

We already see evidence that the current global crisis could provide a number of potential 'one- time' opportunities for coffeeheaven to increase market share in central Europe and to further consolidate its sector leadership position in the region.

With a strong Balance Sheet, meaningful cash balances and robust cash flow, coffeeheaven is well positioned to take full advantage of any such opportunities.'

Do I have selected reading?... I would suggest your name "Cynic" has some bearing on your point of view. I have been in COH for sometime now and know the company well and in the current global markets I am very happy with the comments provided by COH... : - )... Regards.

chart says it all!

Yes and how many other companies show that kind of chart in the last six months... There is a time to sell and a time to buy... Regards.

this is NOT the time to buy, and certainly not a tiddler in this sector .... unless you really think someone is going to bother to take them over

At these prices I believe personally it is a good buy, I may be proven right or wrong but that is my choice and that is why I made the statement I did... I have researched this company, attended two AGM's and have confidence the board will deliver.... Lets come back in six months and see who is correct Cynic... Regards.

no probs or even rancour ..... i confess to having a pretty jaundiced view of small coffee chains - CFE is another - especially where they try to operate/offer franchises but do not have seriously solid and profitable back-up

Agree but this is a slightly different model to CFE and also there is an awful lot of bad history with that company... we shall see anyway... Regards.

you can't be different to!
confess i do get confused between COH and CFE, but neither seem to be soundly based

COH are not franchised, whereas CFE are based on that model currently, they are also based in Eastern Europe (COH) and according to a recent article I read (cannot remember where) they said were were less likely to be exposed to the current turbulance in the markets... as I said we will see in the future.

CFE look a total shambles without any firm foundation to support franchisees at all ..... would hate to be one of them ..... and did i not read that they had opened about 20 of them in Kuwait? .... are they nuts??!!

They are either nuts or know something we don't... maybe thats the area to develop (they won't be getting my money to invest there)...

Seems we are starting to tick up again... worth keeping on the radar...

Adie H, are you still confident about this company?

see my post 20!!

Going forward yes I am confident...
