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

APRIL 2006 TRADING UPDATE!!! Total Gross Revenues for 12 months to 31st March up 66% to £6.3M (2005: £3.8M) Lots more info. on new markets and stores click here to read the full details. Stores: 43 (up from 32) stores currently trading (Poland: 30 (up from 23), Czech Republic: 6 (Up from 2), Latvia: 7 with a further 5 units under construction including Bulgaria and sites secured in Romania (subject contract). Bulgaria & Romania are seeking to join the EU from January 2007. Sites located in key high street, shopping malls or Airport locations. Company growth target: increase number of units by at least 20 units to some 63 units by 31 March 2007. Aim being to achieve this level of growth within present Cash resources.Cash balances at 31 March 2006 were approximately £2.9M (2005: £0.7M). Debt was nil (2005: £ 2.5M): Nil Debt! Positive EBITDA: For the year ending 31 March 2006, Group EBITDA expected to be firmly positive after charging UK and new market development costs but before exceptional costs relating to the cancellation of bonds (previous Debt).

This includes indicative sales of £0.4M from Bulgaria, which will be reported but not consolidated. From Richard Worthington (Chairman and Chief Executive): ‘The new financial year has started well.

- 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.



AdieH - 25 Jul 2006 11:26 - 422 of 2037

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...

ramu - 28 Jul 2006 09:46 - 423 of 2037

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

silvermede - 28 Jul 2006 11:30 - 424 of 2037

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! :-)

ramu - 28 Jul 2006 12:22 - 425 of 2037

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?

britshare - 28 Jul 2006 12:26 - 426 of 2037

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

AdieH - 28 Jul 2006 15:29 - 427 of 2037

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...

ramu - 28 Jul 2006 17:08 - 428 of 2037

Britshare,

Your wish has been granted. Next stop 30p?

AdieH - 29 Jul 2006 09:00 - 429 of 2037

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...

silvermede - 01 Aug 2006 16:45 - 430 of 2037

From a Broker Round Up todays:

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

Starting to get noticed. :-)

chesneywilliam - 02 Aug 2006 17:54 - 431 of 2037

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

silvermede - 03 Aug 2006 08:55 - 432 of 2037

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

AdieH - 03 Aug 2006 12:39 - 433 of 2037

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...

ramu - 03 Aug 2006 17:15 - 434 of 2037

From another BB poster today.....

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

AdieH - 03 Aug 2006 17:29 - 435 of 2037

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

ramu - 03 Aug 2006 19:28 - 436 of 2037

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.

AdieH - 03 Aug 2006 20:03 - 437 of 2037

Cheers appreciate that, we should get brokers notes also after their visit to Poland...

Interest rate shocker now what?
By Alpesh Patel, The Information Exchange Ltd
August 07 2006
As I mentioned on CNBC last week, the shock about the interest rate rise in the UK is that the Bank of England voted unanimously to hold rates in July.
So what does it mean for the stock market? Well, now that the smoke has cleared we can take a clearer view. Firstly, the Dow gives us a big clue that the market is completely lacking direction. Last Friday, the Dow had a 104 point swing from its intraday high, only to lose all its gains for the day.
When an index cant hold onto its gains, clearly the bulls lack conviction, as do the bears. Direction is impossible. We have to wait and see. The FTSE 100 gives us more clues. It fell after the interest rate rise and hasnt rallied sharply because of the fear of more rises.
The FTSE 100 could have shot up after the rate rise on the basis that that it would be the last increase for a while. It would have been a relief rally. Not so: the cloud of more rises hangs over us and so depresses the FTSE 100.
I will turn bullish on the FTSE 100 if it moves above the recent high of 5982 and bearish if it moves below the recent low of 5827. The stocks showing the strongest short term bullish momentum are: Tanfield Group, IS Solutions, Coffeeheaven
