Barry Henthorn, President, Baristas, said, " We are very pleased with Prime Equity's professional perspective and opinion on the business and the ability of BCCI to become a force in the sector. The Speculative buy rating range of $.22-$.44 is very reasonable and highly achievable given the business momentum occurring now."

"An ultra conservative look at Baristas' development program suggests that the company should be valued at $0.22 per share. However, if the company succeeds in fully executing its plans over the course of 2012, we estimate that it will be worth double the amount - $0.44 per share," Vitalie Eremia, analyst, Prime Equity Research said.
