overgrowth - 06 Oct 2003 22:47

underground01_2.jpgA 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

So you think Bentley and Worthington are good managers then. OK thats cleared that up. Now as you say its going to fall,let's both make estimates of next year i.e. 2007/2008 figures for sales,gross profit,admin costs,profit before tax and cash generated/lost at the local level.Not saying it will rise or fall in the coming months but some hard figures will help people make their own minds up.

David10B - 15 May 2007 19:21 - 713 of 2037

Ultimate Cynic.

I am none of those, just David, but I admit to beng a bit of a bore, at least the chaps down the pub think so when I keep getting double top to go out on..

Proteus.

Far from them being good managers....far, far from it.

Mr Bentley is a pretty useless specimen, as the perfomance of BKE clearly demonstrates for all to postulate thereon, I need not say more..

Mr Worthington has clearly missed the boat, he laid his plans for expansion and should have bought leases when they were reasonably cheaper. I mean he obviouly knew his expansion plans.

Others have bought ahead of him now and COH will suffer, will suffer a lot in the long run, thus determining it is far from the no braiiner, ten bagger most ramping holders predict it to be.

I will roll out some guesstimates for the futire, but it will take a few days as I am not at home, I am working on my retirement house and if the weather breaks that will naturally take priority.

Have a great evening.

Thank you for your email and kind words.

Best now to let the share prices of the stocks your mentioned do the talking and let the trend be your friend.

Best wishes and good luck with your portfolio,

David10B - 16 May 2007 10:41 - 715 of 2037

Dear AdieH please dont be shy.

I extracted this post off iii and acknowledge their excellent service.

I figured you must be one and the same, although I will never understand the use of multiple names on these BBS, which are suppost to help investors and not confuse them.

I am sure we will all be pleased to see the response, that is if you are not nervous of the possiblity that I may be able to drive some canyons through it-

BUYResponse from RW Gonner2003
Hi, Just to let you all know that I've had a response from RW in regard to the recent decline in the SP, if you want the email then please email me at AdieHurford@hotmail.com. Its very positive...

Have a really nice day.

David10B - 16 May 2007 11:01 - 716 of 2037

Come come Sir you are not normally tardy with your defence of this declining stock, kindly let us have sight of Mr Wortthington's Email.

The content is surely in the public domain in any event, and therfore there can be no need to be evasive, can there?

AdieH - 16 May 2007 11:53 - 717 of 2037

LOL... as the link says email... Why I ask would you want a copy of the email, you don't hold and you have made your own decision regarding RW...

David10B - 16 May 2007 12:35 - 718 of 2037

But we need to know AdieH

COH needs all the support it can get right now as even a massive 600,000 buy failed to lift the price.

The market is talking and diehards like you are simply not listening.

I would suggest, with respect AdieH, that if Mr Worthigton has anything positive to say to you then you make it public for the benefit, and the peace of mind, of those trapped in COH at around 50p.

To do otherwise would be an extremely selfish gesture.

David10B - 16 May 2007 12:54 - 719 of 2037


Thank you for your email AdieH

However I have a question:-

IS IT NOT HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE, AND POSSIBLY ILLEGAL, FOR DIRECTORS TO MAKE AND GIVE OUT SP FORECASTS?

Or is Mr Worthington becoming so desperate and therefore needs to justify his position?

Hence the making of wild claims in order to do so.---Just a thought which needs clearing up!

proteus - 16 May 2007 13:09 - 720 of 2037

Any progress on the financials ?

AdieH - 16 May 2007 13:11 - 721 of 2037

It is not his view but the brokers if you actually read it... As you say let the sp do the talking...

David10B - 16 May 2007 14:02 - 722 of 2037

Proteus

Its coming old chap, although I need your help on one point please as I can not figure out what each store is currently making, both gross and nett, its all so vague, consequently your input would prove helpful.

AdieH.

Of course its the broker's or brokers' note. I did not think for one moment Mr Worthington would have committed himself to figures of this nature

It is indeed a dreaful day weather wise but I trust you all fair well.

AdieH - 16 May 2007 14:11 - 723 of 2037

David your comment intimated it was from RW, he is too experienced to have made a silly mistake like that... We agree now to let the SP do the talking...

David10B - 16 May 2007 14:17 - 724 of 2037

AdieH please get it right you said on iii you had heard from RW.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID.

BUYResponse from RW Gonner2003
Hi, Just to let you all know that I've had a response from RW in regard to the recent decline in the SP, if you want the email then please email me at AdieHurford@hotmail.com. Its very positive...

Futhermore, I note you say that we agree now to let the do the talking!

For the sake of clarity and a better understanding, I too agree to my original suggestion taking precident.

proteus - 16 May 2007 14:18 - 725 of 2037

I have no privileged info,all I could do would be to pull up the past results.Assume you have more info than me as you've looked into it expecting a fall? Just give it a shot.If we can get to an estimate for this/next year then it's each to his own as to what multiple you think it's worth.

AdieH - 16 May 2007 14:25 - 726 of 2037

For clarity I received an email from Richard, he was quoting a figure of 60p, which was quoted by a broker/brokers and not by Richard himself... Case closed...

proteus - 16 May 2007 14:32 - 727 of 2037

Which broker ? Is the broker note in the public domain ?

AdieH - 16 May 2007 14:36 - 728 of 2037

Yes if you go to the coffee heaven website they have all the brokers notes attached, its an extremely useful website... just type coffeeheaven into google...

silvermede - 16 May 2007 14:44 - 729 of 2037

From memory the Woods Broker Report was looking at profitabilty in 2009 and has a long term breakdown of the intended business growth plan at the back of the report out to 2015.

proteus - 16 May 2007 14:45 - 730 of 2037

Thanks the DCF model gives a target price of 66p,DB they point to some of the figures you need.

silvermede - 16 May 2007 14:47 - 731 of 2037

AdieH, just use the link in the header! :-)
