We opened our first uWink restaurant in Woodland Hills, California in the Westfield Promenade Shopping Center at 6100 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Woodland Hills, California 91367 on October 16, 2006. In May 2007, we signed letters of intent to open two new restaurant locations at the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center in Los Angeles and the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, California. Effective June 4, 2007, we and the landlord entered into a definitive lease agreement for the Howard Hughes location. In July 2007, we signed a letter of intent to open a new location at the Galleria Dallas in Dallas, Texas. Subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive lease agreements for Hollywood & Highland and Galleria Dallas, we expect these locations to open in early 2008. On October 25, 2007, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the leasehold interest and certain other assets of a currently operating restaurant in downtown Mountain View, California, which we intend to convert to the uWink concept and open by early 2008.

In June 2007, our subsidiary, uWink Franchise Corporation, entered into an area development agreement with OCC Partners, LLC for our first three planned franchised restaurants to be built in Miami-Dade County, Florida, over the next four years. See "Growth Strategy—uWink Franchising" below for more information on this agreement.

Also in June 2007, we announced plans to establish a joint venture in Canada with Jefferson Partners, a leading Canadian venture capital firm, to develop the Canadian market for uWink restaurants and related uWink products and services. We expect that the Canadian joint venture, in which we will have an initial 50% equity interest, will be independently funded in Canada and be managed in conjunction with an experienced Canadian restaurant operator to be selected by us and Jefferson Partners. Subject to prompt negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, we expect the first Canadian uWink to open mid-2008.

I base my trading decisions on my own DD, research, evaluation, constant re-evaluation, insight and information. Everyone should do their own DD, and constantly evaluate their own conclusions IMO.
