INTRODUCTION

Type of Report: . As defined by SSVS.

The Subject Company description:

Discounts1. If applicable the following Discounts were applied. Note that if both discounts are applied, they are applied in a multiplicative manner, not additive.

Discount for Lack of Control 2 (DLOC) . This is sometimes referred to as Minority Interest Discount (MID). A discount was applied since the ownership interest being valued and owned by the client or user(s) is . If the analyst chose to apply this discount, it would have been applied to the Operating Assets prior the Discount for Lack of Marketability, DLOM (if applicable; see next section), i.e., additive.

1 Discounts only apply to the operating assets (tangible and intangible), not to the nonoperation assets and liabilities.

2 A control owner enjoys valuable prerogatives of ownership that a minority owner does not, including the ability to appoint management, determine management compensation & prerequisites, set policy and change the course of the business, acquire and liquidate assets, award contracts, make acquisitions, liquidate, dissolve, sell or recapitalize the company, etc.

Discount for Lack of Marketability (DLOM) . In this case, applied when the Income Approach was considered. Based on the analyst’s experience in selling small, privately held companies, certain factors will limit the marketability of a company, e.g., location (small town vs. large city); niche companies requiring a non-common skill from the Buyer base. If the analyst chose to apply this discount, it would have been applied to the Operating Assets after the DLOC discount (if applicable), i.e., additive.

The calculation of values

Equation (100% Controlling Interest & No Discounts)3

Value1=

$473,069 = $337,111 + $345,494 - ($209,536)

Our is that One Hundred Percent (100%) controlling interest prior to any discounts for control or lack of marketability is , where the Fair Market Value of the Operating Assets component would be , which is composed of (Tangible Assets) plus (Intangible Asset: Business or Enterprise Goodwill) plus (Intangible Asset: Personal or Professional Goodwill), all based on the valuation performed herein. Furthermore, the Non-Operating Assets are and Total Liabilities are .

, where the historical Weighted Seller’s Discretionary Earnings4 (wSDE) of was multiplied by the Sale-Price-to-Earnings Multiple (SP/SDE) of ; see the sections

below called Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and Determining the Expected Multiple and CAP Rate.

The historical period considered was from through , where was annualized using of data.

Rationale for the Future Benefit Stream: Given that management expects revenues to increase by 10% in 2014, along with evidence from 2013 (11 month) comparison to 2012 (same period), the expectation is that the benefit stream shall be commensurate with or better than 2013. Thus most weight on historical performance is applied to 2013. Thus, the weights to the respective SDE values were applied as such in order to estimate the Future Benefit Stream: % on ; % on

; % on ; and % on .

The 100% controlling, non-discounted interest in the Operating Assets was derived by using the

3 See table in section called Assets & Liabilities Included (Operating & Non-Operating) for a summary of all operating and non-operating tangible assets and liabilities before minority interest discount is applied (if applicable).

4 Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) is used as the basis for the value of this company. It represents the net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, owner perks, and elimination of all non-recurring income and expenses. It also assumes there is only one full-time working owner. Weighted SDE or wSDE takes into consideration multiple years’ performance.

SELLER’S DISCRETIONARY EARNINGS CALCULATION

The income approach using the Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) is used to value this company. SDE represents the net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, it includes all owner perks, discretionary expenses, and elimination of all non-recurring income and expenses. SDE is normalized to only one full-time working owner equivalent (FTE) who works 40 to 50 hours each week. Each of these expenses is “Added-Back” to the Pre-Tax Profit shown above in the Historical Income Summary section in order to calculate the Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, SDE. After all the “Add-backs” are applied, the results are the Recast, Normalized SDE, which are shown at the bottom of the following Table.

What’s more, all normalized income and expenses are shown in the graphs that follow in the Normalized, Recast, Income & Expenses Graphs section. The graphs provide a high-level, visual perspective of the Company’s historical income and expenses trends from year to year.

RATIO ANALYIS

BIZMINER- INDUSTRY FINANCIAL DATA

Our Ratio Analysis Industry Data is sourced from BizMiner (Brandow Company, Inc.). BizMiner produces granular industry statistical reports for business valuation professionals, accountants, the IRS, and other organizations. Raw data used by BizMiner is sourced from an array of the nation’s business databases, reporting agencies, and government statistical sources, including the IRS, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Economic Census of available sectors. According to BizMiner, it accesses over half a billion sourced data points from eighteen million business operations for each of its twice annual updates. Data is sourced from:

IRS SOI Corporation Income Tax Returns IRS SOI Corporation Tax Book IRS SOI 1040 Schedule C Income Tax Returns IRS SOI Statistics of Income- Individual Tax Statistics US Economic Census of Manufactures US Census Economy Overview US Census Annual Survey of Manufactures US Census Annual Retail Trade Survey US Census Annual Wholesale Trade Survey US Census Quarterly Financial Reports US Census County Business Patterns Bureau of Labor Statistics Monthly Employment Reports Bureau of Labor Statistics Monthly Unemployment Reports US Census Wholesale Trade Report US Census Quarterly (New Housing) Sales by Price and Financing US Census Total Construction Spending US Census Retail Trade Report US Census Quarterly Services Survey Commercial Real Estate Survey Credit Reporting Agencies Business Directories

Sales volume figures are for firms identifying this as their primary classification. For example, a report for retail furniture stores analyzes sales of stores whose predominant revenue stream is furniture sales; that data would not include furniture sold at a general department store. Firms in more detailed industry segments may opt to identify a higher level parent classification as their primary line of business, effectively reducing sales applied to the detailed segment.

It is sometimes difficult to ascertain precise sales data for the smallest firms in the databases. When precise numbers are not available, reports that offer a sales range may be utilized. When there is a very small number of firms in a category (most often startups, which are by nature often micro-firms) the sales is recorded at 150,000 (reflecting a 100,000-175,000 range).

Business Operating Risk: Degree of Operating Leverage

Page 29: business valuation SBA loan

DETERMINING THE EXPECTED MULTIPLE & CAP RATE

To assess the risk for a business buyer we calculate an expected return on investment that we call Expected CAP Rate. It is reflective of the return on investment a business Buyer would expect to achieve if we capitalize the Company's SDE; it is a figure of merit to measure Risk for an investor. The Expected Cap Rate depends on A) the type of company we are valuing and B) the risks within the subject Company we are valuing.

Our "build-up" method to calculate the Expected CAP Rate starts by first choosing a Range of SP/SDE Multiples taken from sales transactions of “similar” companies (“Comps”) to the Subject Company. For example, if we are valuing a medical practice, then we will use Comps of medical practices that sold in the past ten years. This is done by using transactional data from actual, similar sold businesses (Comps) from BizComps database (Note: CAP Rate is the inverse of SP/SDE multiples). Thus, the "Range" (floor and ceiling) is set by the Comps shown below in List of Comparables (Comps) section.

In our case we chose our comps using the criteria listed below in “The Comparables (Comps)” Section.

For our valuation of the Company, we found records where the lowest SP/SDE Multiple was (highest CAP Rate %) and Highest SP/SDE Multiple was (Lowest CAP Rate %).

29 | P a g e

Page 30: business valuation SBA loan

THE COMPARABLES (COMPS)

General

The comparables used were assimilated from database. A detailed list of the comparables is shown below in the List of Comparables (Comps) section; the statistics of the transactions are compiled below on this page. A statistic of interest is the SP/SDE ratio; this represents the Sale Price-to-SDE of the companies sold, and is referred to as “The Multiple.” The criteria of the comparables are as follows:

a. The filter criteria were: i. Companies with the following characteristics:

1. Durable Products Wholesalers2. Sold in Florida in past 12 years3. Rent greater than $0.

ii. All outliers were removed until the mean and median of the SP/SDE (Sale Price to SDE) ratio were approximately equal.

b. Summary of Stats:i. records. Actual businesses sold.

ii. SP/SDE Mean of & Median of ; implies all outliers have been removed.

iii. R2 value of ; implies relationship between SDE and Sale Price. See the following “Sales Price to SDE” graph in “Graphic of Comparables Business & Subject Company” section.

Notes:

1. Mean and Median are almost equal by removing all “unusual transactions,” i.e., outliers.

2. The comps treat inventory, real estate, A/R, A/P as non-performing assets. Thus “Sale Price” or “SP” does not include these items.

ENTERPRISE RISK FACTORS

Once we have the “Range” of CAP Rates chosen, then to continue our calculation of the Expected CAP Rate, which is within that "Range," we analyze the Subject Company's "Risk Factors" to determine where within our "Range" our Expected Cap Rate should fall; for instance, If the subject Company exhibits low risk characteristics due to there being very little owner personal goodwill and no significant customer concentration, then the Expected CAP Rate will be lower since the risk is lower. What’s more, the Expected CAP Rate will approach the low side of the "Range."

Based on our professional judgment and experience in selling businesses and performing business valuations, we have determined that following major risk factors influence the value of a business enterprise. These Enterprise Factors are shown in the table below and explained in detail in the next section called Risk Factors Details.

In order to quantify the Subject Company’s risk, a weight was assigned to each Enterprise Factor based on importance (rank) for that type of company, while a risk assessment score (1 to 4) was simultaneously applied to each Enterprise Factor in order to calculate the “weight” or “effect” on Expected CAP Rate. See section table below and section called Effect of Risk Factors on Company Value.

Note that a score of “1” implies most risk and “4” implies least risk, while “2.5” is nominal. What’s more, a rank score of “7” implies that for this particular type of company (Subject) this Enterprise Factor is the least important (e.g., for a restaurant, location could be ranked 2 or 3 in importance vs. a manufacturing business, which could have a rank of 6 or 7).

The combination of Rank and Risk Assessment are used to quantify where within our Comps’ Range our “Expected Multiple” or “Expected CAP Rate” for the Subject Company shall lie.

Factors Notes

Three Owners: Bobbye Stanley (50% owner; absentee). Bobbye's husband James Stanley is the Treasurer, but not a shareholder. Walter Maurer (25% owner; roles: GM, purchasing, interfacing with customers, tech support, pulls orders for customers; he is very experienced in the field). Matthew Kratochvil (25% owner; roles: sales manager, customer interface, tech support). To normalize the SDE to 1 FTE owner/operator, we shall addback only Matt's W2 income (treat him as the FTE owner/operator).

Employees: 2 FT and 1-2 PT employees. 1 FT clerk, 1 FT driver, & 1 PT clerk and 1 PT driver employees.

Key employees include 1) Toni; Roles: Office manager ; works 40 per wk; length employment: since inception of the company; pay: $20/hr.2) Gib; Roles: warehouse clerk, driver and customer interface; he can handle the business while the owners are out (short time).

Since there are 2 key owners, both interacting with all the customers, both with key roles we shall assign a 2.5.

Most of the business comes in for the following reasons: 1) Service Level. Walt and Matt are very knowledgeable, with years of trade experience. They also focus on being responsive to client needs through technical support and inventory availability. 2) They are strategically located between Fort Meyers and Naples (too small for the large competitors), so they enjoy a less competitive market. For this reason a 3.0 shall be awarded.

Since there are 2 key owners, both interacting with all the customers, we shall assign a 2.5.

Company sells wholesale HVAC equipment primarily to contractors (~80% of sales) and individual (~20%). The company also sells HVAC-R (refrigeration parts), but not as significant as the HVAC systems. The contractor customers primarily serve the Residential condos (~70% of the 80% sales) and commercial building market (~30% of the 80% sales). Company has 100's of customers.

The largest customer represents ~30% of sales; long-time customer (~8yrs).

Second largest customer is ~10% of sales.

There are 2 customers that are ~5% each.

Since we are using same comps a 2.5 shall be awarded.

53.320

This is the amount of funds (net income) remaining to meet all demands in support of future growth (e.g., working capital, capital expenditures). The measure known as "net cash flow to equity" is often considered a proxy for "dividend paying capacity" in regards to RR 59-60 as it represents the cash flow available to equity holders, i.e., potential dividends.

Economy seems to be rebounding.

There are large changes, but all in a positive direction, and probably due to the rebounding economy.

EFFECT OF RISK FACTORS ON COMPANY VALUE

The Graph below shows graphically the most influential risk factors contributing to the subject Company’s Expected CAP Rate or Multiple. Note: Since the “Multiple” is the inverse of the CAP RATE either could be used to assess risk.

38 | P a g e

Page 39: business valuation SBA loan

RECONCILIATION OF CONCLUSION OF VALUE (SANITY CHECK)

To best reconcile our against reality, we shall consider some of the typical calculations that may be performed by hypothetical Buyers and Lenders in an actual business acquisition.

The two most common scenarios for a business acquisition are the following:

1. An unleveraged acquisition; this is where a Buyer buys the business without financing.

2. A leveraged acquisition; this is where a Buyer would secure financing from a third party lender or through the Seller via a Seller-Held Note.

Thus in order to reconcile our business valuation against these two real-life circumstances, the following “pressure points” are analyzed, namely- Historical Capitalized Earnings, Historical Net Margins, Before-Tax Cash Flow using historical SDE, and Debt Service Ratios a lender would consider. In addition, Personal Goodwill and Customer Concentration also could become very influential.

Regardless of the valuation, it is these “pressure points” that directly impact a Buyer and Lender’s final decision.

For the Subject Company, the most significant pressure points appear to be:

1. CAP RATE in 2010.2. Margins from 2009 through 2012.3. Cash Flow in 2010.4. Debt Service Ratio for 2010 thru 2012.

See more details below.

39 | P a g e

Page 40: business valuation SBA loan

CAPITALIZED EARNINGS

With any investment of any kind, investors will base their decisions whether to invest, and how much to invest, on the risk level and their personal involvement necessary to manage that investment. For instance, if an investor has $1 Million to invest, but she does not want work and wants to assume minimal risk, then a CD or Bond may be the best investment, but the ROI will be very low, probably 2% or 3%. If, however, the investor would like a better return on her $1 Million as she is willing to assume a more risk and be more involved (but not 40 to 50 hours per week), she may consider buying investment property, where she could expect 6% to 12% ROI, i.e., CAP Rate. Finally, if the investor expects an even higher ROI, she may consider buying a business, where the risk is much higher, as would be her required involvement in the management of the “investment.” This is where the “Expected CAP Rate” comes in; it is the ROI that is “expected” for the high level of risk and involvement inherent to businesses. What’s more, since the risk is so much higher than a CD, bond, or investment property, the “Expected CAP Rate” is much higher, e.g., 20% to 200%, depending on the type of company and internal risks within the Company.

Below we compare the historical Subject Company’s performance against our Expected CAP Rate.

Notes:

1. the 2010 CAP Rate drops below our Comps’ range, i.e., 20% compared to 36%.

2. Given the company’s projections and trend this pressure point is highly mitigated.

40 | P a g e

CAP Rate Range chosen for this valuation is from 38% (lowest Risk) to 77% (highest Risk)

Worse case Subject Co. CAP Rate= 20% FY10 Tax Return

For that period, the subject Co. CAP Rate is below the Expected CAP Rate of 46%

For that period, the subject Co. CAP Rate is outside the Comps' range of 36%

"Expected CAP Rate" is the return on investment a Buyer would expect to achieve if we capitalize the Company's SDE; it is a figure of merit to measure Risk for an investor. It depends on A) the type of company and B) the risk within the subject Company.

NET MARGINS

In general, notwithstanding our Subject Company, a Net Owner Benefit Margin (i.e., SDE/Rev) less than 10% is a concern; 10% to 15% we consider marginal; and greater than 15% we consider healthy. The reason is that a business that operates with small margins has greater risk of having cash flow problems in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as costs increases, overhead increases, etc.

However, to properly assess margin risk for our Subject Company, we compare our Subject Company to our Comps’ margins.

BEFORE-TAX-CASH FLOW

Assuming a leveraged acquisition, the Before-Tax Cash Flow (BTCF) becomes a pressure point that a Buyer must consider. Typically BTCF becomes more relevant in an acquisition where a large amount of non-performing assets are also sold with the company or necessary to operate the Company. The most common case is when a large amount of Inventory or operating capital is necessary.

Below are Typical Terms that one may expect for this acquisition of this Company. The Sale Price is comprised of the Operating Assets plus Inventory.

Notes:

1. At the Subject Company’s Operating Assets value of At the Subject Company’s Operating Assets value of $337,111 plus inventory at $220,642 the 2010 BTCF is significantly different from the subsequent years.

2. If the Company continues on its growth path, and 2010 becomes less relevant, the valuation becomes more attractive to prospective Buyers. This is the expectation by management and appears true based on the Company trends.

DEBT-SERVICE RATIOS

Debt-Service Ratio is another pressure point. It is very common that the Small Business Administration (SBA) is used as a lending source for main-street business acquisitions. Therefore, to assess a lender’s risk, we shall assume a Buyer will be seeking financing from the SBA under the terms delineated above in the Before-Tax Cash Flow section.

The equation for Debt Service Ratio is as follows. In general, the ratio must be greater than about 1.5 for three consecutive years in order to be considered for approval. Of course, this calculation is only a part of the decision process, and the exact criteria may vary from lender to lender.

SDE is Seller’s Discretionary Earnings of the Subject Company. BPCF is the Buyer’s personal cash flow. In other words, the creditor considers the Buyer’s

personal debt, aside from the acquisition of the Company, into its assessment. Ann. Debt is the annual debt service to acquire the Company under the terms listed above.

Notes:

1. We used $50,000 as the Buyer’s Personal Cash Flow.

2. This is only a hypothetical example under an asset sale scenario. The bank will calculate a more accurate debt service ratio for the Buyer.

FIRM PROFILE

OUR MISSION

Ameri-Street Advisory SM (ASA) was founded to serve a specific market. Our mission is to provide affordable, comprehensive, AICPA compliant business valuations for small, privately held, American main-street businesses.

The fact is that most companies that provide business valuations:

Are too expensive. Most valuation costs exceed $5,000.

ASA’s fees are a fraction of the cost. We can make our services affordable by using our proprietary, internally developed tools and by maintaining control of our overhead expenses.

Do not have practical experience in selling companies; thus do not have the true wherewithal and experience to assess “Fair Market Value” as it relates to main-street businesses.

ASA was founded by experienced M&A and business intermediaries with extensive practical experience in actually selling and operating companies. When calculating fair market value, our analysts utilize their practical experiences in order to more accurately assess risk and hence properly capitalize the business earnings.

Only use templates and generic reports which are not completely applicable to small companies.

ASA’s deliverable is 100% in compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA) Statement on Standards for Valuation Services (SSVS).

Because ASA was founded by business intermediaries with real-life experiences and strong financial backgrounds, we have the ability to accurately quantify real-life business characteristics in order to properly assess risk and hence value.
