Paprika Pizza is a corporation, having been incorporated in february of 2006, primarily

for the purpose of selling pizza, sandwiches, and various other food products, as a
licensed franchisee under the franchise name of "Paprika Foods." The company
presently maintains an office in Banjarahills, Hyderabad. The president and principal
shareholder of the company is Madhu Sudan Rao.

The company intends to open, over the course of the next three years, several
franchised retail pizza establishments in the hyderabad, with its first store scheduled to
open in January of 1997. The company's primary thrust will be to locate each of its stores
in newly developing, high density, residential areas, with little pre-existing competition.
The company also will maintain high quality control standards, strictly adhering to the
Mama's Pizza "formula," which has, to date, proven successful (Mama's Pizza has
previously been voted the number 1 best tasting pizza in Pennsylvania). The company
also will utilize mid-level pricing.

The name of the franchisor is Mama's Pizza Franchising, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
formed in 1996 for the purpose of offering and selling Mama's Pizza franchises, and
servicing, supporting, and administering all functions inherent in operating the franchise
system. William A. Becker is the president, treasurer, director, and 50% shareholder of
Mama's Pizza Franchising, Inc.

The names of Mama's Pizza predecessors are William A. Becker, Inc. and the Becker
Group, Inc., both Pennsylvania corporations. William A. Becker, Inc. and Mama's Pizza
Franchising, Inc. maintain their principal business address in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Since its inception in 1990, William A. Becker, Inc. has been engaged in the ownership
and operation of Mama's Pizza stores that specialize in the sale of pizza and other food
products in the metropolitan Pittsburgh area. Over the last three years William A. Becker,
Inc. has owned and operated two Mama's Pizza stores, located in nearby suburbs. There
are presently eight additional franchised Mama's Pizza establishments in the metropolitan
Pittsburgh area. Negotiations are pending for additional stores. Another company store is
expected to open in January of 1997.

THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT


On November 12, 1996 the company did execute with Mama's Pizza Franchising, Inc. the
Franchisor's standard franchise agreement with numerous amendments, deletions, and
additions. Under the agreement, the company has a protected territory defined as a five-
mile radius from each of its stores. Under the agreement, no other Mama's Pizza franchise
or company store can be opened within this five-mile radius protected area. Furthermore,
the company has negotiated and the agreement provides that the company has a 30-day
right of first refusal anywhere within Washington and Westmoreland counties. This right
of first refusal will allow the company, if it chooses, to "lock-in" these counties, thereby
becoming and remaining the sole Mama's Pizza franchisee in such counties.
Finally, under the agreement, the company is required to pay an ongoing franchise
royalty equal to 3% of gross revenues during the first year of operations and 4%
thereafter. An industry wide review of franchise fees and royalties reveals that the
Mama's Pizza royalty is substantially less than those found with competing pizza
franchises.

PURPOSE OF FINANCING
The company is seeking financing for the express purpose of providing cash funding to
allow (1) the acquisition of various machinery, equipment, and supplies and (2) the
construction of its first retail pizza establishment.

1. The Equipment: Schedule A, is a pro-forma list of the equipment and supplies


anticipated to be required for the operation of the company's first pizza store,
together with a projected aggregate cost of such items. It is important to note that
the company has decided to acquire wherever possible used equipment and
supplies, recognizing that quality used equipment is readily available in the
marketplace at substantial savings. The purchase of high quality, well maintained
used equipment will allow the company to reduce its capital outlays to
approximately 30% of what would otherwise be expected as a result of purchasing
new equipment. This will obviously preserve working capital, reduce ongoing
interest costs, and increase net profitability.
2. The Build-Out: Schedule B is a list of the items associated with the "Build-out,"
which is capable of being financed together with their anticipated cost.

The total cash financing sought for both the equipment and the "Build-out" is $90,000.

THE INITIAL STORE


The company's initial store will consist of 1,600 square feet of retail space. Indeed, the
company has executed a five-year lease with a five-year renewal option at an annual rent
of $12.00 per square foot. This results in a monthly rent charge of $1,600, plus common
area charges which are anticipated to approximate $300 monthly. The initial store will be
located in a plaza consisting of 7 retail establishments. The plaza includes two other retail
food establishments an Outback Steak House which can be described as an "anchor" and
Bagel Factory. Neither the Outback Steak House nor Bagel Factory are considered to be
direct competitors. Each of their product lines are substantially different and their
markets are likewise different. The company is a takeout retail pizza franchise, while
both Outback Steak House and Bagel Factory are essentially sit-down restaurants with
different product lines. The remaining retail outlets in the plaza include Delta Florist,
Century Cellunet, Airway Oxygen, and Benjamin Moore.
THE COMPETITION
The company has examined in detail the geographic area consisting of a two-mile radius
from the initial store to determine the extent of competition. It is apparent that little
competition exists. The nearest retail pizza establishment west of the initial store is
located in a town which is approximately five miles further west. In this town one will
find a wide array of pizza establishments, including Little Caesars, Dominos, Pizza Hut,
and Hungry Howies. The nearest competing business is approximately one quarter mile
to the east and is a nonfranchised, independent pizza establishment known as Jack's
Pizza. Approximately two miles to the east are Little Caesars and Papa Mario's.
Approximately one and one half miles to the south is a Whatta Pizza. There are no
competing pizza establishments within three miles to the north of the initial store.

MARKETING PLAN
The company's marketing thrust will be twofold. First, the company will be participating
in and benefiting from the franchise wide marketing fund. Under the "agreement," each
franchisee pays to the franchisor a marketing fee equal to $.10 per pizza box purchased.
This amount is then forwarded to the franchisor by the box manufacturer and utilized for
the benefit of the franchise. The advertising is not store specific and is geared toward
promoting the franchise name and the franchise's product line as a whole. Second, under
the "agreement," the company is obligated to expend 1% of its gross revenues on local
advertising. However, the company fully expects to exceed the 1% requirement. Indeed,
the company's marketing thrust will consist of fliers, discount coupons, and inserts as
well as direct mail promotions.

With respect to packaging, it is important to understand that as a franchisee, the company


will be licensed to utilize each and every one of the Mama's Pizza trademarks. Indeed, the
"agreement" specifically requires that each of the franchisees strictly adheres to
trademark packaging. This is common industry practice.

Editor's note: this plan also includes a Schedule C reflecting the probable pricing
structure of each of the company's proposed products. This pricing is mid-tier and
represents, in the opinion of the company, good value, when compared to the quality of
the company's product line.

PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Schedule C is a pro-forma income statement, before depreciation charges, reflecting the
company's anticipated cash flow generated by the initial store during the calendar year
