    AMC, formed on March 28, 2007, serves as the operational and administrative center for the Company. AMC renders management and marketing services to WINGS and BURGERS and their subsidiaries and nine Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants affiliated with the Company through common ownership and management control but not required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Services rendered by AMC include marketing, restaurant operations, restaurant management consultation, the hiring and training of management and staff, and other management services reasonably required in the ordinary course of restaurant operations.
    WINGS was formed on March 12, 2007 to hold Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants developed by the Company. WINGS, through its subsidiaries, holds seven Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants currently in operation. Each of WINGS’ subsidiaries is named for the location of the restaurant it holds. The subsidiaries that hold restaurants currently in operation are:

    The Company has also executed franchise agreements with Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. to open two more restaurants in 2010, one in Chesterfield Township, Michigan and the other in Marquette, Michigan. These restaurants will be held by AMC Chesterfield, Inc. and AMC Marquette, Inc., respectively. The Company is economically dependent on retaining its franchise rights with Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. Each of the franchise agreements has a specific expiration date ranging from September 28, 2026 through October 20, 2029, depending on the date that each was executed and its initial term. The franchise agreements are renewable at the option of the franchisor and are generally renewable if the franchisee has complied with the franchise agreement. The Company is in compliance with the terms of these agreements at September 30, 2009. The Company is under contract with Buffalo Wild Wings, International, Inc. to open 20 additional stores by 2017. The Company also holds an option to purchase the nine (9) affiliated restaurants that are currently managed by AMC. The Company plans to exercise this option in 2010.
    BURGERS was formed on March 12, 2007 to own the Company’s Bagger Dave’s restaurants, a new fast casual dining concept developed by the Company. BURGERS’ subsidiaries Ann Arbor Burgers, Inc. and Berkley Burgers, Inc. own restaurants currently in operation in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Berkley, Michigan, respectively. BURGERS also has a wholly-owned subsidiary named Bagger Dave’s Franchising Corporation that was formed to act as the franchisor for the Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries concept. Our Board has authorized, and the Company has taken, action to secure our rights to franchise Bagger Dave’s restaurants in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. We are currently authorized to sell Bagger Dave’s franchises in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, and our application in Illinois is under review. We have not yet franchised any Bagger Dave’s restaurants.

DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,™ sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB standards like FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, are no longer being issued by the FASB. For further discussion of the Codification, see “FASB Codification Discussion” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (commonly referred to as MD&A) elsewhere in this report.
 
    Principles of Consolidation
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRH and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMC, WINGS and its subsidiaries, and BURGERS and its subsidiaries.
    All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
    Segment Reporting
    The Company has determined that it does not have any separately reportable business segments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
    Cash and Cash Equivalents
    Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company, at times throughout the year, may in the ordinary course of business maintain cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to any unusual risks on such deposits.
 
    Revenue Recognition
    Management and advertising fees are calculated by applying a percentage as stipulated in a management services agreement to managed restaurant revenues. Revenues derived from management and advertising fees are recognized in the period in which they are earned, which is the period in which the management services are rendered. Revenues from food and beverages sales are recognized and generally collected at the point-of-sale.
 
    Accounts Receivable — Related Party
    Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Balances that are outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off with a corresponding charge to bad debt expense. The balances at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 relate principally to management and advertising fees charged to and intercompany transactions with the related Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants that are managed by AMC and arise in the ordinary course of business (see Note 4). Management does not believe any allowances for doubtful accounts are necessary at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
 
    Accounting for Gift Cards
    The Company records the actual dollar amount of gift card liabilities at period end. The liability is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s gift card liability was approximately $30,275, compared to approximately $68,456 at December 31, 2008. Florida law prohibits gift card expiration dates, expiration periods and any post-sale charges or fees. Michigan law states that gift cards cannot expire and any post-sale fees cannot be assessed until five (5) years after the date of gift card purchase by consumer. At this time, there is no breakage for the Company to record.

  Lease Accounting
    Certain operating leases provide for minimum annual payments that increase over the life of the lease. The aggregate minimum annual payments are expensed on a straight-line basis beginning when we take possession of the property and extending over the term of the related lease. The amount by which straight-line rent exceeds actual lease payment requirements in the early years of the lease is accrued as deferred rent and reduced in later years when the actual cash payment requirements exceed the straight-line expense. The Company also accounts, in its straight-line computation, for the effect of any “rental holidays” or “tenant incentives”.
 
    Inventory
    Inventory, which consists mainly of food and beverage products, is valued at the lower of cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market.
 
    Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
    Prepaid expenses consist principally of prepaid insurance and are recognized ratably as operating expense over the period covered by the unexpired premium. Other assets consist principally of franchise fees, trademarks and loan fees, which are deferred and amortized to operating expense on a straight line basis over the term of the related underlying agreements, which are as follows:
         
 
  Franchise fees   15 years
 
  Trademarks   15 years
 
  Loan fees   2 to 7 years (loan term)
    Liquor licenses are deemed to have an indefinite life. Management annually reviews these assets to determine whether carrying values have been impaired. During the period ended September 30, 2009, no impairments relating to intangible assets with finite or infinite lives were recognized.
 
    Property and Equipment
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and renewals are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed. Management annually reviews these assets to determine whether carrying values have been impaired.
    The Company capitalizes as restaurant construction-in-progress costs incurred in connection with the design, build out and furnishing of its owned restaurants. Such costs consist principally of leasehold improvements, directly related costs such as architectural and design fees, construction period interest (when applicable) and equipment, furniture and fixtures not yet placed in service.
 
    Depreciation and Amortization
    Depreciation on non-restaurant equipment, furniture and fixtures is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from five to seven years. Depreciation on restaurant equipment, furniture and fixtures is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years. Restaurant leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the related improvement. Restaurant construction-in-progress is not amortized or depreciated until the related assets are placed into service. In the current quarter, the Company determined that certain assets that were being depreciated as equipment were actually part of leasehold improvements. Depreciation has been updated to reflect this re-classification.

    Advertising
    Advertising expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $146,511 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and was $303,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Advertising expense was $406,912 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and was $465,549 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
    Income Taxes
    Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
    Earnings (Loss) Per Share
    Earnings (loss) per share are calculated under the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires a dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share on the face of the income statement. “Diluted” reflects the potential dilution of all common stock equivalents except in cases where the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
    Concentration Risks
    Approximately 9% and 18% of the Company’s revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are generated from the management of Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants located in Michigan and Florida, which are related under common ownership and management control (see Note 4). Approximately 83% and 63% of food and beverage sales came from restaurants located in Michigan during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    Use of Estimates
    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Financial Instrument
    The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements with a bank to fix interest rates on a portion of the Company’s portfolio of variable rate debt which reduces exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not use any other types of derivative financial instruments to hedge such exposures, nor does it use derivatives for speculative purposes.
    The Company records the fair value of their interest rate swaps on the balance sheet in other assets or other liabilities depending on the fair value of the swaps. The terms of the agreements match those of the underlying debt and therefore are classified as non-current. Fair value adjustments are recorded each period in other income or other expense on the statement of operations. The notional value of interest rate swap agreements in place at September 30, 2009 was approximately $2,588,000. The expiration dates of these agreements are consistent with debt instruments as described in Note 5.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement replaces multiple existing definitions of fair value with a single definition, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands financial statement disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This Statement applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, which did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), which retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the guidance in Statement 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 141(R) and cannot determine the impact future acquisitions may have on its consolidated financial statements.
    In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact, if any, that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In addition, SFAS 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date.

4.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    Fees for monthly accounting and financial statement compilation services are paid to an entity owned by a Director and stockholder of the Company. Fees paid during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $23,760 and $17,244, respectively. Fees paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $63,636 and $43,675, respectively.
    Management and advertising fees are earned from restaurants affiliated with the Company through common ownership and management control. Fees earned during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $426,332 and $428,173, respectively. Fees earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,324,137 and $1,377,944, respectively. Accounts receivable arising from such billed fees were $112,387 and $140,034 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable from related parties also includes amounts due from properties under common ownership and control that are included in the Company’s Michigan Business Tax filing, representing tax benefits realized by these related parties from offsetting state income tax that would be due on an individual basis with tax losses from the Company (see Note 7). This amounts to $118,567 as of September 30, 2009. The remainder of accounts receivable — related party, at September 30, 2009 consists of amounts due to DRH from managed restaurants for other fees paid on their behalf.
    The Company is a guarantor of debt of nine entities that are affiliated through common ownership and management control. Under the terms of the guarantees, the Company’s maximum liability is equal to the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest. There are currently no separate agreements that provide recourse for the Company to recover any amounts from third parties should the Company be required to pay any amounts or otherwise perform under the guarantees, and there are no assets held either as collateral or by third parties, that, under the guarantees, the Company could liquidate to recover all or a portion of any amounts required to be paid under the guarantees. The event or circumstance that would require the Company to perform under the guarantee is an “event of default”. An “event of default” is defined in the related note agreements principally as a) default of any liability, obligation, or covenant with a bank, including failure to pay, b) failure to maintain adequate collateral security value, or c) default of any material liability or obligation to another party. As of September 30, 2009, the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligations of the related entities was, in aggregate, approximately $3,119,000 and the Company’s guarantee extends for the full term of the debt agreements, the last of which expires in 2019.

    This amount is also the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees. As noted above, the Company and the related entities for which it has provided the guarantees operate under common ownership and management control and, in accordance with FASB ASC 460, Guarantees, the initial recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 460 do not apply. At September 30, 2009, payments on the debt obligations were current.
    Long term debt (Note 5) contains two promissory notes in the amount of $100,000 each, along with accrued interest, due to two of DRH’s stockholders. The notes bear interest at a rate of 3.2% per annum and are being repaid over a two-year period that commenced January 2009 in monthly installments of approximately $4,444 each.
    Long term debt (Note 5) also includes two notes in the amount of $95,000 each and one note in the amount of $142,500 to three of DRH’s stockholders. The notes bear interest at 5.26% and are due, along with accumulated interest, on November 1, 2009. At maturity, the note holders, at their option, may elect to use all or part of the principal and interest due, at that time, to exercise the private placement warrants previously issued to them in November 2006 (Note 6).
    See financial statement Note 8 for related party lease transactions.

6.   CAPITAL STOCK (INCLUDING PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS)
 
    On July 30, 2007, DRH granted options for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock to the directors of the Company. These options vest ratably over a three year period and expire nine years from issuance. Once vested, the options can be exercised at a price of $2.50 per share. Stock option expense of $8,077 and $8,078, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and stock option expense of $24,234 and $24,234 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations and as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity to reflect the fair value of shares vested as of September 30, 2009. The fair value of

13

DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    unvested shares, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, is $26,985 as of September 30, 2009. The fair value of the unvested shares will be amortized ratably over the remaining vesting term. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years, a risk-free rate of return represented by the U.S. Treasury Bond rate and volatility factor of 0 based on the concept of minimum value as defined in FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. A dividend yield of 0% was used because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the reasonably foreseeable future.
 
    On November 30, 2006, pursuant to a private placement, DRH issued warrants to purchase 800,000 common shares at a purchase price of $1 per share. These warrants vest over a three year period from the issuance date and expire three years after issuance. The fair value of these warrants, which totaled approximately $145,000 as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was recognized as an offering cost in 2006. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years, a risk-free rate of return represented by the U.S. Treasury Bond rate and volatility factor of 0 based on the concept of minimum value as defined in FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. A dividend yield of 0% was used because the Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the reasonably foreseeable future.
 
    In the third quarter of 2008, the Company issued 140,000 common shares in exchange for approximately $735,000 raised in connection with its initial public offering.
 
    At September 30, 2009, 950,000 shares of authorized common stock are reserved for issuance to provide for the exercise of the Company’s stock purchase warrants and stock options. No such warrants or options have been exercised as of September 30, 2009.
 
    The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.0001. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2009. Any preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, dividend limitations, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption shall be set forth and adopted by a board of directors’ resolution prior to issuance of any series of preferred stock.
7.   INCOME TAXES
 
    The (provision) benefit for income taxes consists of the following components for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

  $ (135,024 )   $ 53,852     $ (203,453 )   $ 68,564  
 
                       
    The (provision) benefit for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to loss before income taxes. The items causing this difference are as follows:

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company expects the deferred tax assets to be fully realizable within the next several years. Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities and assets are summarized as follows:
                 
    September 30     December 31  
    2009     2008  
Deferred tax assets:
               
Net operating loss carry forwards
  $ 958,931     $ 1,028,689  
Deferred rent expense
    73,621       38,699  
Start-up costs
    91,884       77,292  
Tax credit carry-forwards
    139,616       69,260  
Swap loss recognized for book
    63,490       86,289  
Other — including state deferred tax assets
    189,380       270,244  
 
           
 
               
Total deferred assets
    1,516,922       1,570,473  
 
               
Deferred tax liabilities:
               
Other — including state deferred tax assets
    132,006       87,188  
Tax depreciation in excess of book
    1,106,979       883,328  
 
           
 
               
Total deferred tax liabilities:
    1,238,985       970,516  
 
           
 
               
Net deferred income tax assets
  $ 277,937     $ 599,957  
 
           
    If deemed necessary by management, the Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Management continually reviews realizability of deferred tax assets and the Company recognizes these benefits only as reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will be realized.
 
    The Company expects to use net operating loss and general business tax credit carry-forwards before their 20 year expiration. This belief is based upon the Company’s option to purchase the nine affiliated restaurants currently managed by DRH. Net operating loss carry-forwards of $286,555 and $2,533,830 will expire in 2029 and 2028, respectively. General business tax credits of $68,750, $58,116 and $11,144 will expire in 2029, 2028 and 2027, respectively.

    On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 regarding the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
    The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense. There are no accrued interest amounts or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2009.
    In July 2007, the State of Michigan signed into law the Michigan Business Tax Act (“MBTA”), replacing the Michigan Single Business Tax with a business income tax and a modified gross receipts tax. This new tax took effect January 1, 2008, and, because the MBTA is based or derived from income-based measures, the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, apply as of the enactment date. The law, as amended, established a deduction to the business income tax base if temporary differences associated with certain assets results in a net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2007 (the year of enactment of this new tax). This deduction has a carry-forward period to at least tax year 2029. This benefit amounts to $33,762.
    The Company is a member of a unitary group with other parties related by common ownership according to the provisions of the Michigan Business Tax Act. This group will file a single tax return for all members. An allocation of the current and deferred MBT incurred by the unitary group has been made based on an estimate of MBT attributable to the Company and has been reflected as state income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consistent with the provisions of ASC 740.
    The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.

10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    The Company has management service agreements in place with nine Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants located in Michigan and Florida. These management service agreements contain an option that allows WINGS to purchase each restaurant for a price equal to a factor of twice the average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of the restaurant for the previous three fiscal years. This option may be exercised by the subsidiary up to and including thirty days following the two-year anniversary date of the Company’s initial public offering completed by the Company. The two year anniversary will occur on August 1, 2010. The Company plans to exercise the option early and purchase the nine restaurants on February 1, 2010. Such exercise has always been part of the Company’s strategic plan.
    The Company assumed from a related entity an “Area Development Agreement” with Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. in which the Company undertakes to open 23 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants within their designated “development territory”, as defined by the agreement, by October 1, 2016. On December 12, 2008, this agreement was amended adding 9 additional restaurants and extending the date of fulfillment to March 1, 2017. Failure to develop restaurants in accordance with the schedule detailed in the agreement could lead to potential penalties of $50,000 for each undeveloped restaurant, payment of the initial franchise fees for each undeveloped restaurant and loss of rights to development territory. As of September 30, 2009, of the 32 restaurants required to be opened, ten of these restaurants had been opened for business, seven of which are Company owned.
    The Company is required to pay Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. royalties (5% of net sales) and advertising fund contributions (3% of net sales) for the term of the individual franchise agreements. The Company incurred $207,072 and $132,514 in royalty expense in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. Royalty expense was $582,453 and $272,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Advertising fund contribution expenses were $125,221 and $76,945 in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the advertising fund contribution expenses were $347,550 and $159,222, respectively.
    The Company is required by its various Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. franchise agreements to modernize the restaurants during the term of the agreement. The individual agreements generally require improvements between the fifth year and the tenth year to meet the most current design model that Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. has approved. The modernization costs can range from approximately $50,000 to approximately $500,000 depending on the individual restaurant’s needs.
    The Company is subject to ordinary, routine, legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. While unfavorable outcomes could have adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, management believes that the Company is adequately insured and does not believe that any pending or threatened proceedings would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

    AMC Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DRH, became a guarantor to an operating lease at one of our Affiliated restaurants. The guarantee began April 1, 2009 and continues for four years. The amount guaranteed is $115,733 in year 1, $136,533 in year 2 and $147,200 in years 3 and 4.
11.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS INFORMATION
    Other Cash Flows Information
    Cash paid for interest was $118,740 and $97,408 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, cash paid for interest was $334,632 and $181,866, respectively.
    Supplemental Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities
    Capital expenditures of $858,779 were funded by capital lease borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
12.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our financial instruments consisted of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The fair value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short term debt approximate their carrying value, due to their short-term nature. Also, the fair value of Notes Payable — Related Parties approximates the carrying value due to their short term maturities. As of September 30, 2009, our total debt, less related party debt, was approximately $6.0 million and had a fair value of approximately $6.2 million. As of December 31, 2008, our total debt was approximately $5.9 million and had a fair value of approximately $5.2 million. The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed-rate debt using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
    There was no impact for adoption of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009. ASC 820 requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
    Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
    Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
    Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
    Interest rate swaps held by the Company for risk management purposes are not actively traded. The Company measures the fair value using broker quotes which are generally based on market observable inputs including yield curves and the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The interest rate swaps discussed in Notes 1 and 5 fall into the Level 2 category under the guidance of ASC 820. The fair market value of the interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2009 was a liability of $186,735, which is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2008 was a liability of $253,792. Unrealized loss associated with interest rate swap positions in existence at September 30, 2009, which are reflected in the statement of operations, totaled $11,286 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and are included in other income/loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the unrealized gain associated with interest rate swap positions was $67,057.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operations contained in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. This discussion and analysis contains certain statements that are not historical facts, including, among others, those relating to our anticipated financial performance for 2009 and our expected store openings. Such statements are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in this Form 10-Q under the heading “Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Statements”.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We frequently reevaluate these significant factors and make adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.
The Company believes the following accounting policies represent critical accounting policies. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. We discuss our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including those policies that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates.
FASB Codification Discussion
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Over the years, the FASB and other designated GAAP-setting bodies have issued standards in the form of FASB Statements, Interpretations, FASB Staff Positions, EITF consensuses, AICPA Statements of Position, etc. One standard that applies to our business is FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases. That standard, originally issued in 1976, has been interpreted and amended many times over the years.
The FASB recognized the complexity of its standard-setting process and embarked on a revised process in 2004 that culminated in the release on July 1, 2009, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,™ sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC. To the Company, this means instead of following the leasing rules in Statement 13, we will follow the guidance in Topic 840, Leases. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than Statement 13, etc. The above change was made effective by the FASB for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. We have updated references to GAAP in this quarterly report on form 10-Q to reflect the guidance in the Codification.
Property and Equipment
We record all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and we select useful lives that reflect the actual economic lives of the underlying assets. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the related lease term. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method for consolidated financial statement purposes. We capitalize improvements and expense repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. We are often required to exercise judgment in our decision whether to capitalize an asset or expense an expenditure that is for maintenance and repairs. Our judgments may produce materially different amounts of repair and maintenance or depreciation expense if different assumptions were used.

21


Table of Contents

We perform an asset impairment analysis on an annual basis of property and equipment related to our restaurant locations. We also perform these tests when we experience a “triggering” event such as a major change in a location’s operating environment, or other event that might impact our ability to recover our asset investment. This process requires the use of estimates and assumptions which are subject to a high degree of judgment. Our analysis indicated that we did not need to record any impairment charges during the three months ended September 30, 2009 or the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and thus none were recorded. If these assumptions or circumstances change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.
Deferred Tax Assets
The Company records deferred tax assets for the value of benefits expected to be realized from the utilization of state and federal net operating loss carry-forwards. We periodically review these assets for realizability based upon expected taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions. To the extent we believe some portion of the benefit may not be realizable, an estimate of the unrealized portion is made and an allowance is recorded. At September 30, 2009, we had no valuation allowance as we believe we will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. This belief is based upon the Company’s option to purchase the nine affiliated restaurants currently managed by DRH. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of any net operating loss carry-forwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining recorded deferred tax assets will be realized. If the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is significantly different from our expectations, the value of its deferred tax assets could be materially overstated.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our current consolidated cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,387,338 compared to $325,678 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We anticipate that new restaurant construction will be funded by debt financing, which we had planned to be provided by our existing lenders or another lending institution. These new restaurants include:
    Novi, Michigan — Bagger Dave’s — construction to begin in the fourth quarter 2009 and restaurant opening to occur in the first quarter 2010. The estimated cost of construction and equipment is approximately $650,000. We anticipate borrowing 50% of the necessary funds and paying the remaining balance through cash from operations.
    Marquette, Michigan — Buffalo Wild Wings — construction expected to begin in the second quarter 2010 with an estimated opening in the third quarter 2010. The estimated cost of construction is approximately $1,037,000. We anticipate borrowing 50-70% of the necessary funds and paying the remaining balance through cash from operations.
    Chesterfield, Michigan — Buffalo Wild Wings — construction expected to begin in the second quarter 2010 with an estimated opening in the third quarter 2010. The estimated cost of construction is approximately $950,000. We anticipate borrowing 50-70% of the necessary funds and paying the remaining balance through cash from operations.
At this time, we have not obtained the debt financing that we planned to secure due to the severe tightening of the credit markets. We are pursuing alternatives to traditional debt financing, including equipment leasing and mezzanine debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to obtain adequate financing for new store openings. Management believes that emphasis on prime locations is now more critical than ever to create stronger store openings and earlier positive cash flows to decrease our dependency on third-party financing.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
An off balance sheet arrangement exists between TMA Enterprises of Novi, Inc., which is a Buffalo Wild Wings unit managed by AMC Group, Inc., and AMC Group, Inc., one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. On April 5, 2007, TMA Enterprise of Novi, Inc. entered into a loan for $719,950. That loan was used to refinance the existing debt of $369,950 and it provided an additional $350,000 to help finance a five year remodel of that restaurant. The principal outstanding at September 30, 2009 is $524,011. AMC Group, Inc. is a guarantor of this debt.

Area Development Agreement
The Company assumed from a related entity an “Area Development Agreement” with Buffalo Wild Wings to open 23 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants by October 1, 2016 within the designated “development territory”, as defined by the agreement. Failure to develop restaurants in accordance with the schedule detailed in the agreement could lead to potential penalties of $50,000 for each undeveloped restaurant and loss of rights to development territory.
On December 10, 2008, through our wholly owned subsidiary, AMC Wings, Inc., we entered into an amendment to the Area Development Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. The Amended Agreement expanded our exclusive franchise territory in Michigan and extended by one year the time frame for completion of our obligations under the initial terms of the Area Development Agreement.
The Amended Agreement includes the right to develop an additional nine (9) Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurants, which increases to thirty-two (32) the total number of Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurants we have a right to develop. Under the Amended Agreement, we have paid to Buffalo Wild Wings International, as Franchisor, a development fee of $31,250. Franchise fees for the nine (9) additional restaurants will be $12,500 each.
We have until November 1, 2017 to complete our development obligations under the Amended Agreement. As of September 30, 2009, ten (10) of these restaurants had been opened for business under the Amended Agreement, leaving 22 remaining under the Amended Agreement. Three (3) of the restaurants opened under the Amended Agreement are affiliated and seven (7) are Company owned. The other six (6) affiliated restaurants were opened prior to the initial Area Development Agreement and do satisfy of our obligations to construct restaurants under the Amended Area Development Agreement.

EXERCISE OF OPTION TO PURCHASE
We have an option to purchase the restaurants we currently manage. This option may be exercised up to and including thirty days following the two year anniversary date of the completion of the Initial Public Offering. That date is August 1, 2010. We have decided to exercise the option early, anticipated to be effective February 1, 2010. We expect to acquire these restaurants by granting a promissory note in favor or the sellers in the principal amount of the purchase price, with principal and interest at 6% per annum fully amortized over six years.
We believe that the effect of the exercise of such option to purchase on our financial statements will be as follows:
Balance Sheet
The following balance sheet elements are subject to significant changes in preparing our consolidated financial statements when the purchase option is exercised:
  a.   Cash and cash equivalents (expected increases from operations).
  b.   Inventories (food and supplies expected to increase).
  c.   Prepaid expenses (potential increase for normal operating costs such as rent, insurance, etc., depending on timing of payments).
  d.   Property and equipment (value assigned to restaurant equipment, furnishings and improvements upon acquisition).
  e.   Intangible assets (value assigned upon acquisition).
  f.   Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses (such as compensation costs and amounts due to vendors expected to increase).
  g.   Debt (existing debt carried by the acquired restaurants and debt to be incurred to finance the purchases).
  h.   Common or Preferred stock (if issued to fund the purchases).
Income Statement
The following income statement elements are expected to show significant changes in preparing our consolidated financial statements when the purchase option is exercised:
  a.   Management and advertising fee revenue (will be eliminated).
  b.   Food and beverage sales (expected increases as purchase options are exercised).
  c.   Cost of food and beverage sales (expected to increase in proportion to increased food and beverage sales from acquired restaurants).
  d.   Depreciation and amortization (expected to increase due to allowances for depreciation and amortization of assets acquired from exercise of purchase options).
  e.   Interest expense (will increase as debt financing is required to finance the acquisition costs).
  f.   Other operating costs (expected increases in numerous operating costs such as rent, utilities, compensation costs, etc.).
Cash Flows Statement
We expect cash flows from operating (resulting from the balance sheet and income statement changes discussed above) and investing (normal ongoing purchases of equipment and improvements for the acquired restaurants) activities to show significant increases upon exercise of the purchase option.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue was generated by the collection of management and marketing fees from service agreements with nine (9) affiliated Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants managed by AMC Group, Inc. and from the operations of seven (7) Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants and two (2) Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries restaurants. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 our revenue was generated from management and marketing fees charged to the nine (9) affiliated Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants and from the operations of five (5) Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants and two (2) Bagger Dave’s restaurants.

REVENUE — Total revenue increased $6,658,432 or 87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. The difference in revenue from the above listed restaurants for the same time period was an increase of $6,773,464 in revenue. Our other restaurants opened prior to July 1, 2008 posted a decrease in revenue of $61,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
COST OF SALES — Cost of goods sold (food and beverage), as a percentage of food and beverage sales, increased one percentage point from 30% in 2008 to 31% in 2009 due to the increasing market prices of chicken wings. The increase of $2,151,386 or 115% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, is due to the opening of the additional restaurants.
PAYROLL COSTS — Payroll costs increased $1,603,942 or 59% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. This increase is primarily due to the additional personnel costs related to newly opened restaurants.
OPERATING EXPENSES — Total operating expense rose $5,635,107 or 71% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This increase in expenses reflects the inclusion of the expenses of new restaurants that were not open in the prior period.
OPERATING PROFITS — Operating profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 increased $1,023,325 to $787,214 from $(236,111) recorded in the same nine month period of 2008. Our profit margin has increased largely due to the new restaurants improving their efficiency.
INTEREST EXPENSE — Interest expense increased $152,766 or 84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This increase is due to additional debt taken on to open new restaurants.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE — Other income increased $95,022 to $74,366 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to an expense of $20,656 for the same period ended September 30, 2008. Of this increase, $67,057 is due to the reduction of the swap liability in the first nine months of this year.
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES — Our income before taxes increased $965,581 to $526,948 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to a loss of $(438,633) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. See the discussion above for the various causes.
INCOME TAXES — For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, there is an income tax expense recorded in the amount of $203,453 compared to an income tax benefit of $68,564 recorded for the same period of 2008.
NET INCOME (LOSS) — For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, net income increased $693,564 to $323,495 from a loss of $(370,069). See the discussion above for the various causes.

REVENUE — Total revenue increased $1,620,438 or 48% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The difference in revenue from the above listed restaurants for the same time period accounted for approximately the entire increase.
COST OF SALES — Cost of goods sold (food and beverage) increased $547,803 or 64% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. This relates primarily to the opening of the additional restaurants. The cost percentage of food and beverage sales, as a whole, was 31% in 2009 compared to 29% in 2008. The reason for this increase is that costs associated with fresh traditional chicken wings are up 43% year to date which encompasses 28.5% of total food and beverage sales.
PAYROLL COSTS — Our payroll costs increased $291,490 or 25% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Again, this increase is due to the addition of two additional restaurants in operation in 2009 versus 2008.
OPERATING EXPENSES — Total operating expense rose $884,874 or 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Operating expenses were higher due to the additional restaurants and, to a lesser extent, increased professional fees related to being a public company.
OPERATING PROFITS — Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased $735,564 to $443,871 from $(291,693), the profit recorded in the same period of 2008. This is largely due to efficiency improvement at the restaurants as they mature and at AMC Group as the management company is absorbing the growth at this time without adding personnel.
INTEREST EXPENSE — Interest expense increased $21,332 or 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same three month period in 2008. Debt associated with the four additional restaurants is the reason for this increase.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE — Other expense increased $12,457 to $16,148 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $3,691 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The effect of the swap valuations resulted in other expense recognized of $11,286 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Swap valuations tend to decrease as LIBOR rates increase (record income) and increase as LIBOR rates decrease (record expense). LIBOR decreased approximately six basis points between June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009.
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES — Our income before taxes increased $701,775 to $308,983 from a loss of $(392,792) for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.
INCOME TAXES — For the three months ended September 30, 2009, there is an income tax expense recorded in the amount of $135,024 compared to income tax benefit of $53,852 recorded for the same period of 2008.
NET INCOME (LOSS) — Net income increased $512,899 to $173,959 from a loss of $(338,940) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this “Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q” may contain information that includes or is based upon certain “forward-looking statements” relating to our business. These forward-looking statements represent management’s current judgment and assumptions, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are frequently accompanied by the use of such words as “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, while it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks, uncertainties, and other factors, those relating to:
  our ability to secure the additional financing adequate to execute our business plan;
  our ability to locate and start up new restaurants;
  acceptance of our restaurant concepts in new market places;
  the cost of food and other raw materials.
Any one of these or other risks, uncertainties, other factors, or any inaccurate assumptions may cause actual results to be materially different from those described herein or elsewhere by us. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. Certain of these risks, uncertainties, and other factors may be described in greater detail in our filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we strongly urge you to read and consider. Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above and elsewhere in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks.
Not Applicable.
Item 4T.   Controls and Procedures
  (a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were adequate to insure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
  (b)   Changes in internal controls.
Our annual report on Form 10-K noted that our internal controls in place as of December 31, 2008 were not effective to ensure that significant non-routine transactions and related disclosures were appropriately reviewed, analyzed and monitored by accounting personnel on a timely basis. To prevent this deficiency we undertook to retain the services of a technical advisor to provide advice on all material non-routine transactions. We have now retained such an advisor. Management believes this action addresses the weakness in our internal controls which we previously identified.
