Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Accounting Treatment: The transaction is accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill will be recorded to the extent the stock consideration exceeds the fair value of tangible assets.
Tax Treatment: The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Sections 351 and/or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code.

- Restricted Securities: All shares issued in the transaction are restricted under Rule 144 and bear legends prohibiting transfer unless registered or an exemption is established.
- Related Party Transactions: The acquired Operations Entities were owned in part by company officers and directors (e.g., Glenn Welstad, Dwight Enget).
- Valuation Uncertainty: Final fair value allocation depends on management's consideration of the stock value placed on common stock issued.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the pro forma financial information referenced in the May 16, 2006 Form 8-K to understand the consolidated financial impact of the Command Transaction.

- Review the Asset Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific details on liabilities assumed and non-compete clauses.
- Monitor the company's ability to open the projected "small number" of additional stores in late 2006.
