Here's an extract from the chairman's statement in the last RNS which shows the company is solid;

"The period has seen a phenomenally rapid turnaround of the business. Our
pre-IPO philosophies are firmly back in place and I have re-assumed my former
roles of Executive Chairman and CEO and a President of US Operations as well as
a Chief Operating Officer have been appointed. Additionally, our balance sheet
has been greatly strengthened and the operating business is once again
performing at record levels. We look to the future with confidence."

If you look at my posts back during the funding round I mentioned to you have the old shareholders would get stuffed. Well this happended and now they are the ones having all the fun.
This stock has a net asset value of perhaps some 50p and with an expected slowdown in fine wine buying in the USA the company is expected to produce better results but what about 2008 to 2010 if the harvest is again below average?
Its a very difficuly company to value......................

By the way everyone should look at the press release put out on the company's website on their Cab Franc wines - its big news and should push sales forward.

Why can't their expensive London PR and Brokers get a grip on this and work for their money.

Why should a shareholder do their job?

[anley] 15/8/2007 12:23

Will the market understand the value that the new team is producing>>>>>>>>I hope so as these shares are worth far more than the current market price.

Well done Mr Soldinger.

Sale and Leaseback Programme


Cosentino Signature Wines PLC ("Cosentino" or "Group") is delighted to announce
it has concluded a sale and leaseback programme in respect of certain of its
principal winery estates and operating assets,. This will reduce Group
borrowings by some US$ 20 million and will result in annual combined net
interest and rental cost savings of US$ 310,000 (equivalent to a saving of
approximately 15 per cent.) The Group will also see annual depreciation reduce
by approximately $765,000. The sale and leaseback transaction has been
structured in such a way that the Group retains a repurchase option over the
leased property and assets.


Along with the sale and leaseback transaction, the Group has also established a
new $12 million credit line facility (with interest payable at the prime rate -a
reduction in rate of 2% over the Group's former borrowing rate).


After drawing down $7 million of the new credit facility, the Group will have
senior debt outstanding of $10 million, net cash of approximately US$ 4.5
million and $5 million of availability remaining on its new credit facility.


Larry Soldinger, Executive Chairman and CEO of Cosentino, commented:


"This is obviously great news for the Group and for all our shareholders. With
our borrowings substantially reduced and our current strong cash position and
borrowing availability, Cosentino is in an excellent position to allow us to
continue to pursue our exciting plans and growth strategies with renewed vigour
and much confidence. We are looking forward to an exciting and rewarding time
for all of us involved in the Cosentino business."

I wonder if Seymour Pierce are going to be able to understand the workings of the US wine industry?
Can they give their view on the breakup value of this business?
We will have to wait until September for more news but the directors did get the bargin I predicated some time ago.

Cosentino Signature Wines plc ('Cosentino' or 'the Company')

Pre-close Trading Update

Cosentino Signature Wines plc, the AIM listed Napa Valley based wine company is
pleased to announce that the first half of the current financial year has seen a strong improvement in trading and operations at the Company's wineries following the change in management in early February, 2007.

Revenues in the first half of the year are up 62% year-on-year, delivering
record six month sales over Cosentino's 15 year history, and these record sales
fall in the industry's slower first half of the year. Retail sales have
continued their strong performance with a year-on-year increase of 24 %. The
Cosentino Wine Club membership has risen to 5,919 (2006: 4571). With pre IPO
management solidly back in place, the Company's operations have significantly
improved, highlighted by the Company's strong increase in sales to distributors, its primary source of revenue, up 96% year-on-year.

The encouraging trading coupled with the successful re-financing of the Company, which was completed at the EGM held last week, gives the Board confidence for a satisfactory result for the full year.

Interim results for the six months ended 30th June 2007 will be announced in
September 2007.

Seems as though there is no interest in the company and the shares by the broker or the City.

[anley] 14/2/2007 12:19

Well true to form directors and some shareholders have managed to get back in at a very good discount to NAV.
All this leaves the original shareholders well stuffed (I am not one of these)as niche wine investments is a very difficult business to value.

[anley] 13/12/2006 17:19

Well with over 1m shares trading today I wonder who is selling and buying or are they put through deals to secure loss in the hope that another internal account makes a profit if they go up in the next quarter?????????????

[anley] 11/12/2006 17:41

I have a feeling that shareholders are going to be stuffed up after the American vultures have been through the books. If there is a funding it will be at a deep discount!!
Its a pity that Hermes the big pension fund does not take an interest in whats happended.
