Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc.
Southfield, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofDiversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”)as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position ofDiversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiariesas of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.
Nature of Business
Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (DRH) and its three wholly owned subsidiaries AMC Group, Inc, (AMC), AMC Wings, Inc. (WINGS), and AMC Burgers, Inc. (BURGERS) (collectively, the “Company”), develop, own, and operate, as well as render management and marketing services for, Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants located throughout Michigan and Florida and their own restaurant concept, Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries (Bagger Dave’s).
AMC was formed on March 28, 2007 and renders management and marketing services to Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants related to the Company through common ownership and management control; however, are not required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Services rendered 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 own future Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants developed by the Company, and holds an option to purchase existing restaurants managed by AMC. Also formed during 2007 were AMC Northport, Inc., AMC Riverview, Inc., AMC Grand Blanc, Inc., AMC Petoskey, Inc., and AMC Troy, Inc. all of which are 100% owned by WINGS. These WINGS’ subsidiaries will each own and operate a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant. Restaurant operations at AMC Northport, Inc. and AMC Riverview, Inc. commenced during 2007.
BURGERS was also formed on March 12, 2007 and will own Bagger Dave’s restaurants, which is a new concept developed by the Company. The first Bagger Dave’s restaurant, which opened in January 2008 in Berkley, Michigan, is owned by Berkley Burgers, Inc. which, in turn, is 100% owned by BURGERS. Also formed during 2007 was Ann Arbor Burgers, Inc.
DRH is incorporated in the state of Nevada; all other entities are incorporated in the state of Michigan.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRH and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMC, WINGS and BURGERS.
DRH was incorporated on September 25, 2006 as part of a long-term financing and operations plan that contemplates acquisition of various restaurants managed by AMC related through common ownership and management control (see Note 3). As part of the
9
DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
plan, DRH acquired 100% of the ownership interests of the former AMC Group, LLC, effective December 31, 2006 in exchange for the issuance of 4,500,000 shares of its common stock (see Note 5). The accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2006 include AMC’s results of operations for the entire year as if the acquisition was effective January 1, 2006. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
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 beverage sales are recognized and generally collected at the point of sale.
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.
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 December 31, 2007 and 2006 relate entirely to management and advertising fees charged to the related Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants that are managed by DRH and arise in the ordinary course of business (see Note 3). Management does not believe any allowances for doubtful accounts are necessary at December 31, 2007 or 2006.
10
DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, liquor licenses, and loan fees, which were deferred and are being amortized to operating expense ratably over the term of the related underlying agreement. Management considers any difference between the straight-line amortization of these expenses and the effective interest method to be insignificant.
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.
Income Taxes
For 2007, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually 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
11
DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the year plus or minus the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
AMC Group, LLC was organized as a limited liability company during 2006 and was not a taxpaying entity for federal income tax purposes. As described in Note 6, pro forma income taxes for 2006 are presented.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (including pro forma earnings per share in 2006)
Earnings (loss) per share are calculated under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 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. Both basic and fully diluted earnings per share have been calculated on a pro forma basis for 2006 based on pre-tax income reported in the accompanying statement of operations for 2006 (see Note 6 for pro forma income taxes). Both basic and fully diluted earnings per share for 2006 have been calculated as if the capital stock transactions described in Note 4 were effective from the beginning of the year.
Concentration Risks
All of the Company’s revenues during 2006 and approximately 51% of revenues during 2007 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 3).
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 year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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
12
DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 for the first quarter of 2008, but believes its impact, if any, will be immaterial.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management currently does not expect adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is a guarantor of debt of two entities related 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 guarantee. 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, obl igation, or covenant with a bank, including failure to pay, b) failure to maintain adequate collateral security value, or c) a default of any material liability or obligation to another party. As of December 31, 2007, the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligations of the related entities is, in aggregate, approximately $1,460,000 and the Company’s guarantee extends for the full term of the debt agreements, both of which expire in 2017. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45),the initial recognition and measurement provi sions of FIN 45 do not apply.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement to guarantee the debt of an additional entity related through common ownership. The amount of the obligation is approximately $224,000 with the terms, conditions and accounting considerations the same as described above.
Notes payable - related party at December 31, 2007 consists of a temporary loan from a stockholder to fund start-up costs at Berkley Burgers, Inc. No specific repayment terms were set and since the loan is expected to be repaid in the first quarter of 2008, the loan is classified as current on the accompanying 2007 balance sheet. No interest is charged on the loan and management considers any interest that would have been accrued to be insignificant. Notes payable, related party at December 31, 2006, consists of a $200,000 loan from an entity related under common ownership and management control that was repaid in 2007. Interest expense amounted to $4,326 on this note.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007 the Company entered into promissory notes in the amount of $100,000 each with two of its stockholders. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are expected to be repaid over a three-year period through January 2009 in monthly installments of approximately $4,400 each.

CAPITAL STOCK (INCLUDING PURCHASE WARRANTS AND OPTIONS)
On September 25, 2006, DRH issued 12,630,000 shares of its $.0001 par value common stock to certain founding members and management of AMC Group, Inc. and related restaurants at a price of $.0001 per share.
On November 30, 2006 DRH privately placed 800,000 shares of its $.0001 par value common stock at an issuance price of $1 per share to eleven accredited investors in exchange for cash proceeds of $800,000. In addition, these investors were issued warrants to purchase an additional 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 four 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 of0 based on the concept of minimum value as defi ned in SFAS 123(R),Share-Based 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.
Effective December 31, 2006, DRH issued 4,500,000 shares of its $.0001 par value common stock in exchange for 100% of the ownership of AMC Group, LLC. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 85-5,Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations (FTB 85-5) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141,Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141). Under FTB 85-5, purchase accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141 was applied to the minority ownership interest exchanged in the transaction. In applying purchase accounting under SFAS No. 141, if the consideration given in a business combination is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is mo re clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Management determined that the transaction should be recorded at the fair value of the consideration received (the book value of AMC’s net assets of $178,462) since management believed that this amount was the more clearly
17
DIVERSIFIED RESTAURANT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
evident value and thus more reliably measured. In making this determination, the Company considered the nature of the net assets acquired (cash, trade receivables, office equipment, trade and related party payables), the nature of the acquired business (longevity, historical profitability, related party nature of income source, etc.) as well as the fact that a market value established by active trading for valuing DRH’s common stock had not occurred at the time of the transaction. In determining the fair value of AMC’s net assets, management considered that AMC’s identified assets and liabilities as noted above had net fair values that equaled (cash, receivables and payables) or approximated (equipment) their carrying values. In addition, management considered whether any goodwill or intangible assets (such as patents, trademarks, customer lists, non-compete covenants, etc.) existed that should be valued, and determined that no such goodwill or other intangible assets existed at the date of the transaction.
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 equally over a three year period and expire six years from issuance. Once vested, the options can be exercised at a price of $2.50 per share. Stock option expense of $13,671, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was recognized as compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations and as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity to reflect the fair value of shares vested as of December 31, 2007. The fair value of unvested shares, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, is $83,529 as of December 31, 2007. The unvested shares will be amortized equally over the remaining vesting term. The valuation methodology used an assumed term based upon the stated term of three years, a risk-fre e 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 SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock Based 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.
At December 31, 2007, 950,000 shares of authorized common stock are reserved for issuance to provide for the exercise of the stock purchase warrants and stock options. No such warrants or options have been exercised as of December 31, 2007.
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $.0001. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2007. 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has management services agreements in place with nine Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants located in Michigan and Florida. These management services agreements each contain an option that allows a subsidiary of the Company 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 any initial public offering completed by the Company. While such exercise is contemplated as part of the Company’s strategic plan, there can be no assurance that this strategic plan will be achieved.
The Company has entered into an “Area Development Agreement” with Buffalo Wild Wings to open 23 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants within their designated “development territory”, as defined by the agreement, by October 1, 2016. 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 or loss of rights to development territory. As of December 31, 2007 five of these restaurants had been opened for business.
