But with the prices they charge, someone must be making a tidy profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OracleofCarolina Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 A lot of activity recently from Chanticleer(Just Fresh, American Roadside, new Hooters), it has been fun watching and I hope they succeed. Today, they announced an investment in "Beacher's Madhouse" opening in Las Vegas. Any boardmembers been to a Beacher Madhouse show? It looks like a crazy event. As far as I can tell, they invested $500,000 plus gave around 50,000 shares and in return get the option to purchase into new "Beacher's Madhouses" that may or may not open. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1106838/000114420413065009/v361932_ex99-1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsad Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Mike's well-connected and is very busy, but the only thing that matters long-term is creation of value relative to the amount of dilution happening. Last I checked, this was still not happening if you looked at the bottom line. I hope it happens at some point for shareholders, because busy for the sake of being busy, isn't usually the way to go. All these acquisitions, but is it actually generating positive cash flow? Are they going to be profitable at some point? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only all the shares they are issuing, but there are a lot of $5 and $7 warrants around as well, which means even more dilution if the stock gets above those levels. I have about a 5% position and also have some of those warrants. It is certainly an interesting company to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvel46 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Excellent insight Parsad! Do you think Mike has the right temperament? He's buying all these call option concepts. Mike was starved for capital for so long, I wonder if he's developed some sort of deal maker envy. I wish I knew more about Robert Brooks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew more about Robert Brooks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Brooks Well, I think Mike is probably one of the most creative guys I know when it comes to getting a deal done. But if your business is not profitable or not creating value relative to the dilution for acquisitions, then you are going backwards. We have not seen any substantial increase in net positive cash flows, no improvement in the balance sheet other than from all the cash brought in through share issues, and quarterly losses remain huge! We sold all of our stock earlier in the year once they got out of the asset management business, so that sucks for us since the market thinks things are improving and the stock is much higher. It looks like they are aiming to grow their way to profitability and I'm not a fan of that type of thought process. All the capex and risk in the businesses they own and are acquiring...why would anyone leave a business like asset management where there is no capex and little risk? Just a mish-mash of businesses now with no real improvement in the bottom line. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkbabang Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Another day another acquisition. More shares issued. More $5.50 & $7 warrants issued. I'm really starting to wonder if he is acquiring good businesses that he thinks will eventually be accreditive or if he is just a serial acquirer. Like stamp collecting.

OracleofCarolina Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 http://m.dallas.eater.com/archives/2013/12/05/john-tesars-spoon-has-been-sold-but-what-does-it-mean.php A little bit more color on today's transaction. I think there is room for a fast-casual seafood chain. Boneheads, in Charlotte and Atlanta, is an awesome concept. If HOTR can do something similar,I think they could do well. With all these moving parts though and the stock's run up this year, I took a little off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkbabang Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Up 20% today. I wonder why. Unusually high volume. No news. Yes huge volume. Someone just decided to buy a lot of shares. I was thinking about adding under $4 recently and decided I didn't want to allocate any more to this. It's already a 5% position I don't like holding more than that in a company this size.

moustachio Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 From 10K: "Cash requirements and capital expenditures: In 2014, we expect to open or acquire one restaurant in each of the following countries or continents – Brazil, Europe and South Africa, and two restaurants in Australia. The Company expects the total cash requirements for these restaurants to be approximately $5.0 million. In addition, we expect general and administrative expenses to be approximately $3.5-$4.0 million for 2014." This company looks like it will be a money losing dilution machine for some time to come.

I have no idea what Mike is doing now! The company seems to be growing at any cost, regardless of dilution, profitability or any rational plan. We sold our shares after he sold the asset management business. I have no idea what is keeping the stock afloat, because the financials get uglier every year and the number of shares outstanding is ballooning! Crazy what has happened. Cheers!
