Special Situations Report

Text Box: When assessing the potential of an emerging company, the strength of corporate management is often a key differentiating factor between success and failure. Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc. is managed by seasoned industry veterans and is further supported by the knowledge and professional achievements of the Kolaj family. These individuals provide the leadership and the experience to carry the Company through its coming growth phases:

CEO, CFO Paul Esposito—Esposito has spent his career in the field of business administration. Prior to Serving as CEO of Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc. Esposito served 10 years as the founding President of Famous Food Group, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of frozen pizza products and patented baking equipment (winner of the New York Restaurant Show “best new product”). Esposito supervised all aspects of the company including the development, design, engineering and manufacturing of proprietary equipment as well as the development and manufacturing of complimentary frozen food products. Esposito supervised the marketing and distribution of the products to over 1000 accounts in 27 states. Esposito had previously served 17 years as Vice President of a leading Drexel Heritage regional furniture chain, which included the country’s first and largest exclusive Drexel heritage showcase store.

Mr. Valentino has owned and operated numerous business’s and franchises, including Taco Bell Express, Sylvan Learning Center, Pak Mail, a 200 seat restaurant, commercial real estate and two Exxon gas/convenience/car wash stores with annual sales exceeding nine million dollars.

Text Box: A look at the tremendous growth of other franchise concepts is indicative of the types of performance investors can anticipate from Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc:

- Johnny Rockets—Founded in 1986, Johnny Rockets aims to provide America with the “Best Hamburger” in a casual dining atmosphere. The business now has more than 200 locations across the country and generates tens of millions of dollars in sales each year. We believe Famous Uncle Al’s can do for the hot dog what Johnny Rockets has done for the hamburger.
- Subway—What began as a $1,000 investment in ‘Super Submarines’ has transformed into one of the largest sandwich chains in the United States. Subway earns royalties from more than 28,000 locations in the U.S., Canada, and other foreign nations, and adds over 1,000 locations each year to its existing base.
- Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) —This Minneapolis, MN based concept started its franchise program in 1991, and currently has more than 300 operating franchises and nearly 450 total locations. In the two-year period from 2004-2006, Buffalo Wild Wings expanded its franchise count at a CAGR of 27%. With regard to stock price, BWLD climbed as high as $85 per share in mid 2007 before a 2:1 stock split on June 18.

All of the above examples have several things in common: They started as small, simple, family focused businesses, they specialized in a high-demand, quick serv food type, and they began large franchise campaigns after they perfected their business models. Famous Uncle Al’s Hot Dogs & Grille, Inc. shares these characteristics and offers investors the opportunity to have Johnny Rockets-like upside at an early, affordable stage where there is minimal downside.
