Executive Summary
Introduction


     

On June 14, 2005, BB&T Capital Markets (“BBTCM”) was engaged by the Special Committee of the Board of
Directors (“Special Committee”) of Boston Restaurant Associates (“BRAI” or “the Company”) to assist in the
execution of a sale of the Company.

     

On December 7, 2005 the Special Committee and BBTCM received from Dolphin Direct Equity Partners (“the
Purchaser” or “Dolphin”) a revised non-binding indication of interest to purchase, through an acquisition vehicle,
the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $6.9 million (including the effect of in-the-money options and warrants), or an effective $0.70 per
common share.

As part of our advisory services, BBTCM has been asked to render an opinion (“the Opinion”) to the Special
Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for
the outstanding equity of BRAI.

     

     

The use of the Opinion is subject to the provisions of the investment banking engagement letter signed and
agreed to by and between the Special Committee and BBTCM on June 14, 2005.

Comparable Company Analysis
Implied Valuation Based on QSR Publicly Traded Comparables

     

Given that public company multiples are based on minority ownership positions, we have applied a
31.5% control premium to the implied minority equity value of BRAI (see Appendix C for more
information).

     

The QSR publicly-traded comparable companies are much larger than BRAI and/or are generally
more liquid, we have therefore applied a 50% size and illiquidity discount to the equity value of
BRAI (see Appendix C for more information).

Comparable Company Analysis
Implied Valuation Based on Family & Casual Dining Publicly Traded Comparables

The family and casual dining publicly-traded comparable companies are much larger than BRAI and/or are
generally more liquid, we have therefore applied a 50% size and illiquidity discount to the equity value of BRAI
(see Appendix C for more information).

Given that public company multiples are based on minority ownership positions, we have applied a 31.5% control
premium to the implied minority equity value of BRAI (see Appendix C for more information).

Applying the median results from the family & casual dining comparable companies analysis implies an enterprise
value range of
$5.1 - $14.3 million.

Precedent Transaction Analysis
Overview

BBTCM has reviewed all transactions in various sectors of the restaurant industry that have closed since 2000
(primarily quickservice and family & casual dining) and selected those for which sufficient transaction information
was available.

As noted on the following page, BBTCM identified a number of recent transactions that disclosed some, if not all,
relevant transaction valuation data.

We have segmented the transactions by those involving public company targets and those involving private
company targets.

In deals involving private target companies, transaction data points are often unavailable.

The median LTM revenue and LTM EBITDA for transactions where the target was public was $225.5 million and
$25.2 million, respectively.

The median LTM revenue and LTM EBITDA for transactions where the target was private was $141.6 million and
$16.4 million, respectively.

For more information on the precedent transactions see Appendix B – Precedent Transaction Descriptions.

Precedent Transaction Analysis
Implied Valuation

The following table applies the median of the transaction multiples for public targets and private targets to BRAI’s LTM
operating results.

For transaction multiples where the target was public, the target’s LTM EBITDA includes public company costs and
therefore we have not added back public company costs to BRAI’s EBITDA.

For transaction multiples where the target was private, the target’s LTM EBITDA does not include public company
costs and therefore we have added back public company costs to BRAI’s EBITDA.

We have applied a 40% size discount to the equity value of BRAI because the targets in the transactions listed are much
larger than BRAI (see Appendix C for more information).

Applying the median results from the precedent transaction analysis implies an enterprise value range of $7.6 – $9.4 million
for transactions where the target was a public company and
$9.4 – $11.2 million for transactions where the target was a
private company.

E. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis



BB&T Capital Markets

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Overview

Projections for future net operating profit after taxes (“NOPAT”) for the Company were prepared by BBTCM and
based on assumptions which were provided by management.

Management does not forecast its financials beyond the current fiscal year budget.

The majority of the Company’s future earnings growth is projected to come from the build-out of a new, and
yet unproven restaurant format of the Pizzeria Regina concept.

These figures were converted into free cash flow by adding back for depreciation and amortization, capital
expenditures, and investments in non-cash working capital.

Free cash flows were discounted using a range of discount rates that reflect the weighted average cost of capital
(“WACC”) for the Company.

The WACC was calculated in a manner that reflected the higher risk associated with the future earnings attributable
to the new, not yet proven, Pizzeria Regina format.

The calculation of residual value applies a range of reasonable earnings multiples to the Company’s final year
EBITDA and discounts it back to the present at the WACC.

F. Adjusted Book Value Analysis



Adjusted Book Value Analysis
Overview

     

To estimate the market value of the assets of BRAI, we have made the following adjustments.

-   

Adjusted the cost basis of the Company’s fixed assets to reflect the management of the Company’s estimates of replacement
cost.

-   

We examined each operating lease with the assistance of management and determined that no adjustment was required for
the operating leases based on the rates of current leases relative to the market rate.

   

Accumulated depreciation was deemed a reasonable estimate of the impairment of the assets given their expected life.

     

The resulting range for the adjusted book value of BRAI is $8.8 – $10.3 million.

Appendix C: Size Discount, Illiquidity Discount

Size Discount, Illiquidity Discount and Control Premium Discussion
Size Discount

Size Discount: It is well established that investments in companies of small size are considered by investors to be more risky
than investments in large companies. As a result, all other things being equal, investments in smaller companies are viewed
as less valuable than investments in larger companies (and hence have lower market based valuation measures, or multiples).
Since the majority of the companies we used for benchmarks of value in our comparable company analysis and precedent
transaction analysis are considerably larger than BRAI, we deemed it to be appropriate to adjust our analysis in order to
compensate for the relatively higher perceived investment risk of BRAI.

After considering the difference in size between BRAI and the comparable companies and transactions we
analyzed, we determined that a size discount for use in our analysis was necessary.

In order to determine the appropriate size discount for BRAI, we analyzed the size premiums in Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and
Inflation ("SBBI") Yearbook (2003),
published by Ibbotson Associates.

According to the breakdown of deciles in SBBI, using the median market capitalization of the comparable companies
analysis and the median transaction value of the precedent transactions, both fall into the 10a decile, which has a market
capitalization range of $64.8 million to $141.5 million. The appropriate size premium for this decile is 3.98%.

According to the breakdown of deciles in SBBI, using the market capitalization of BRAI (at a price of 50.70 per share)
and the Transaction value, both fall into the 10b decile, which has a market capitalization range of $0.5 million to $64.8
million. The appropriate size premium for this decile is 9.16%.

By comparing the relative premiums, we determined the required rate of return premium attributable only to size,
allowing us to determine an appropriate adjustment to valuation results derived from comparison of transaction metrics
involving companies far larger than BRAI.

We judgmentally combined this discount to size with the discount to illiquidity as discussed on page 58.

Size Discount, Illiquidity Discount and Control Premium Discussion
Illiquidity Discount

        

Illiquidity Discount:  Investors require a discount for investing capital in firms whose ownership is illiquid.

Private ownership, restricted stock, small public float, or other illiquid conditions make the target firm more
risky.

Academic studies have quantified the investor bias away from illiquid securities.

The final "equity value" (derived from methods as comparable publicly-traded companies analysis) is
discounted by the illiquidity discount to arrive at an adjusted "equity value".

The illiquidity discount refers only to the nature of the shares (illiquidity and trading efficiency) and not the size
of the firm.

Size Discount, Illiquidity Discount and Control Premium Discussion
Illiquidity Discount

In studies of illiquid securities researchers have found:

Restricted securities trade at significant discounts to publicly traded shares in the same company

Maher (1976) examined restricted stock purchases made by four mutual funds in the period 1969-73 and concluded
that they traded at an average discount of 35.43% to publicly traded stock in the same companies

Moroney (1973) reported a mean discount of 35% for acquisitions of 146 restricted stock issues by 10 investment
companies, using data from 1970

In a study of this phenomenon, Silber (1991) finds that the median discount for restricted stock is 33.75%

We believe that the impact on the value of BRAI due to illiquidity is not as significant as the impact demonstrated through
studies and correspondingly have chosen to judgmentally add a smaller discount for illiquidity to the combined size and
illiquidity discount applied.

J. Michael Maher, “Discounts for Lack of Marketability for Closely Held Business Interests,” Taxes (September 1976): 562-571

Robert E. Moroney, “Most Courts Overvalue Closely Held Stocks,” Taxes (March 1973): 144-154

Size Discount, Illiquidity Discount and Control Premium Discussion
Control Premium

Control Premium: When a public company is sold, shareholders normally demand a premium over the current stock price.
The “premium paid” is easily quantified. Private companies experience a similar phenomenon, the “control premium”

For this analysis, a median of the acquisition premiums as found in a premiums paid analysis was used to arrive at a
control premium

A minority discount can then be extrapolated from the control premium to arrive at a minority valuation. In this
analysis, we used a control premium of 31.5%
