A busy day in the Warsaw Underground !

Not just another coffee shop chain - this one is a brand leader and is only trading in Eastern/Central Europe (i.e. the countries recently admitted to the EU destined for substantial business growth). The company is creating new outlets at a fair old pace and take a look at their website - these are quality stores in high-profile locations like major airports, railway stations etc. Website: http://www.coffeeheaven.eu.com

Coffeeheaven International PLC
25 July 2006


coffeeheaven international plc
('coffeeheaven international' or 'the Group')

Trading Update

coffeeheaven international plc, the AIM-listed speciality coffee bar business
based in central Europe, is pleased to announce the following trading update for
the first quarter of the current financial year to 31 March 2007 ('Q1').

This announcement is being issued ahead of a number of brokers visiting the
Company's operations in Poland on 27/28 July 2006.

Highlights

Q1 like-for-like sales growth + 26%
Maiden Group Profit before Tax in Q1 (unaudited)
Net cash balances 2.8M despite rapid expansion programme

Sales Revenues

The Group has experienced exceptionally strong like-for-like sales growth across
all markets during Q1.

Group sales (unaudited) for Q1 increased 57% to 2.2M (2006: 1.4M). This was
considerably ahead of the Board's expectations.

Group like-for-like sales growth in Q1 (unaudited) was a highly robust + 26%.

Market like-for-like sales growth (unaudited) was: Poland: + 25%, Czech Republic
: + 38% and Latvia: + 24%. These increases reflect the marked acceleration in
revenue growth that was becoming evident during the second half of the prior
financial year to 31 March 2006.

The Group's strong sales performance reflects the strength of the coffeeheaven
brand and the highly favourable underlying macro-economic conditions in its
markets.

The Board is cautious that such like-for-like growth rates can be maintained
throughout the rest of the financial year to 31 March 2007, particularly against
the stronger prior year second half results.

New products launched in Q2 (traditionally a weaker sales period) have been
exceptionally well received by customers.

Operating Results

coffeeheaven international reached an important milestone with Group management
accounts for Q1 disclosing a maiden quarterly Pre-Tax Profit (unaudited and
prior to any IFRS adjustments where applicable). This bodes well for the full
year results to 31 March 2007.

Group EBITDA remains positive.

Net cash balances at 30 June 2006 were approximately 2.8M, materially unchanged
since the completion of the October 2005 Placing and Open Offer despite the
ongoing store investment programme. The Group has adequate cash resources to
meet all present development plans.

The full year audited results for the 12 months to 31 March 2006 are expected to
be available on or before 31 August 2006.

Stores & New Market

The total number of stores trading has now reached 50. This is an important
milestone for the Group. Set in 2000, this target was to be achieved by end
calendar 2006.

We are also pleased to announce entry into our fifth central European market,
Slovakia (to add to Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia and Bulgaria). The first
coffeeheaven store (currently under construction) is expected to open in
Bratislava during August 2006.

Locations in several other central European markets are under active
consideration.

Future

There is little doubt that the Board's strategy of focused brand development and
multiple market entry within central Europe is delivering significant results.

coffeeheaven is now ideally positioned in several key central European markets
to benefit from the region's increasing prosperity.

Your Board looks to the future with confidence.

- Q1 like-for-like sales growth + 26%
- Maiden Group Profit before Tax in Q1 (unaudited)
- Net cash balances 2.8M despite rapid expansion programme, enough to meet expansion plans (No dilution of shares expected)
- Nil Debt!
- 50 outlets (end 2006 tgt) up & running
- Central European market: Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia and Bulgaria with Slovakia outlet coming online in Aug 06.
- number of brokers visiting the
Company's operations in Poland on 27/28 July 2006. (Potential Re-Rating?)

All positive indicators for what I believe to be a VALUE share.

Have to agree the management of this company must be congratulated they forecast 50 stores by 2006 and delivered, things starting to pick up now, brokers notes due after visit... 30p should not be too far away now...

Straight off the RHPS press

** coffeeheaven international (COH): Like-for-like sales
growth in the first quarter was a sensational 26%, a
figure "considerably ahead of the Boards expectations".

Coffeeheaven has now recorded its maiden pre-tax profit.
Sales growth of 25% was seen in Poland, 38% in the Czech
Republic and 24% in Latvia, and this revenue growth was
enough to ensure that coffeeheaven still has all the
2.8m of net cash that came from the share placing last
October - in spite of the extra coffee-shops opened.

Coffeeheaven now has a total of 50 stores, and will open
its first in the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, next
month. Next week coffeeheaven is taking a party of
stockbrokers to see its operations in Poland, and I think
we can look forward to plenty of positive
comment thereafter.

This share is really motoring and has the potential to be
huge. I am raising my Buy Limit to 30p and my Profit
Target to 75p. BUY

Ramu, thanks for the RHPS post, it will be interesting to compare brokers' views with RHPS. Anyway, 30p at least looks good. Very happy holder! :-)

Silvermede, sales outnumber buys 3:1 but bid price holding up. I suspect there's a large instituitional buy waiting to be declared. Anybody with L2?

The price has got to close above 25p to confirm a breakout.

Would agree britshare but things look very good for the long term... We need brokers notes to back this up, would not take too much notice Of RHSP at moment...

Britshare,

Your wish has been granted. Next stop 30p?

Anyone going to attend the AGM which is likely to be in December in Sussex? I went last year and intend doing the same this year...

From a Broker Round Up todays:

Seymour Pierce has buy ratings for CoffeeHeaven (COH.L) (and others .....)

Starting to get noticed. :-)

Silvermede, Richard Worthington is one of the best. I have watched the company grow from the 3p days. Ramu,thanks for the additional info,.

Chesney, agree your sentiments, I only noticed these a lot later getting in at 13 & 11p, but still very happy with growth so far. :-)

RW record is excellent, estee lauder is proof of that, met him at the last AGM very sound man with focus on where he wants COH to go... I trust him with my money... Same as u silvermede my average is 12.5p...

From another BB poster today.....

If you have access to Bllomberg, take a look at COH - Investec have tipped at a buy 25p

ramu what do you post under Ample bulletin board?.. I couldn't find the link on ivestec, would appreciate if someone could post item.

Adieh,

I just reproduced what Khash posted in Ample BB. A colleague of mine confirmed the tip but because of copyright laws etc was reluctant to e-mail the article to me. However, if I come across this tip on the Net, I will post it in MoneyAM. Good luck.
