Dear Shareholders: As I reflect on our success in 2009, I am energized and excited about the road ahead. In what is now known as one of the most difficult operating and economic environments in generations, we successfully executed on our strategy to further expand our Buffalo Wild Wings® franchise business by opening our newest store in Port Huron, Michigan, in June. Additionally, we focused our efforts throughout 2009 on building stronger operations at our existing Buffalo Wild Wings and Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries® locations. These efforts resulted in nearly 65 percent revenue growth for 2009, and marked our return to profitable growth with significant cash flow generation. We realized greater efficiencies at the restaurant level and with our suppliers by leveraging our operating expertise and our purchasing power. Operating margin for 2009 was over five percent, while we generated cash from operations of $1.7 million. We demonstrated our capabilities as restaurant operators during 2009, which I believe will be crucial to the successful execution of our two-pronged growth strategy. Both our Buffalo Wild Wings franchise portfolio and the Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries concept have tremendous growth potential over the long-run, and our business model provides a strong foundation for that expansion. Already in the first quarter of 2010, we acquired the nine Buffalo Wild Wings locations that we previously managed, six in Michigan and three in Florida, and plan to open two additional restaurants in Michigan through the balance of 2010. We expect to enter 2011 with 18 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants, leaving ample room for expansion under our agreement with Buffalo Wild Wings International which provides for a total of 38 restaurants in Michigan and Florida by 2017. Even more encouraging is the acceptance and success of our Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers and Fries concept. We opened our third location in Michigan in February 2010 and believe the growth of this innovative concept through company- operated as well as franchised locations will fill a niche burger market between the quick-serve and casual dining segments that is relatively untapped. We are currently experimenting with a Bagger Dave’s breakfast menu which, if successful, will drive additional traffic through select stores. Our initial plans are to grow throughout the upper Midwest and we have filed Franchise Disclosure Documents in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, with one pending in Illinois. We plan to establish a ratio of one and one half corporate-operated Bagger Dave’s for each franchised location. Moving forward, we will continue to focus our efforts on providing our customers with quality food, service and a memorable dining experience. I’d like to thank our employees for their tremendous effort and commitment, along with their attention to detail and to each and every customer. They are the key to the successful growth of our business. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention that this letter is part of our first official “glossy” annual report, which incorporates our Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K and 10-K/A and other meaningful information on your company into one easy-to- reference document. We plan to use this report as a key tool in communicating the DRH story. As a shareholder of Diversified Restaurant Holdings, I hope you are as encouraged as I am about our growth potential. We appreciate your support and look forward to continue delivering on our strategy. Sincerely, T.
