RNS Number:7024U Coburg Group PLC 28 January 2004 Directors' Report The Directors are pleased to announce a profit of #5,000 for the first six months of the financial year, this is compared to a loss of #33,000 in the corresponding period. As Konrad Legg, the Group's Chairman, mentioned in his statement in the annual report in October 2003, trading proved difficult as a result of the exceptionally warm summer. Nevertheless, despite the challenging summer we were able to return to profitability as a result of significant contributions from last year's acquisitions of Ashby's and Rizzi. We continue to look for acquisitions in the coffee, tea and beverage industry in order to strengthen our portfolio of brands. We have completed the outright purchase of the one hundred and fifty year old "Ashby's" name for use on coffee to the food service sector and are developing it as a franchise brand, which we believe has considerable potential for growth. We feel that "Rizzi" offers great potential as a genuine Italian brand and will be investing over the next six months to develop and raise its profile. We intend to establish the "Langdons" brand through further investment as a premium beverage name with an emphasis on quality and service. Last month, the Group raised #320,000 by a private placing of 4,000,000 shares at 8p through the Group's brokers Fiske plc. All of the Group's Directors participated in the placing. This money has allowed us to begin a strategy of investing in our factory in Woolwich in order to create a modern, efficient and low cost operation. We have concluded a contract to purchase a new coffee roaster that is due to be installed in March/April 2004. This will increase the Group's coffee roasting capacity, and provide greater flexibility and economy of operation. We have seen steady demand in October, November and December but are aware that conditions in the high street remain challenging for many cafes, bars and restaurants. The Board are delighted to welcome Rory Forrester, 62, as a non-Executive Director of the Group. He has wide experience of growing businesses in the City and industry and has been involved in franchising for a number of years.
