Re: Big Three's Proposed Purchase of Mango's Las Olas

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Big Three Restaurants, Inc., has a desire to acquire 100% of shares of 904 Las Olas, Inc. This document is intended to provide you with several options for your consideration. I have been provided historical revenue and profit numbers on your business. I am recapping this information in the chart below because, as each of you may be aware, a multiple will be applied to each of my proposed structures. Additionally, I want to insure that no interested party disputes the numbers I have been provided.

During my limited Due Diligence of Mango's it is my opinion that the interior space of the facility needs a fresh new look. Competition has become more prevalent in the immediate area with some of the new competitors having very deep pockets. The economy is in turmoil, which has caused increases in food costs, transportation expense and disposable goods. The consumer is still eating out, however they are much more cautious. They have higher value expectations and are more willing to test less expensive alternative restaurants. As I was told, several years ago Mango's profits were double what you enjoyed in 2012. I anticipate a continued decline in profit for several years to come unless a significant capital investment is made in Mango's to keep and attract new customers. Therefore my proposed structures will be reflective of some of the aforementioned factors.
 
Year
Gross Revenue
Net Profit
2009
$5,896,000
$996,000

$5,727,000

Warrants cannot be exercised during the first 36-months and must be exercised prior to 60-months.  
Additional Terms:     The purchase contract will have no pre-payment provision.
