# Full Circle Brewing

Craft brewery and entertainment space in Fresno ready to expand across CA

## Elevator pitch
Full Circle is the longest-running brewery in the Central Valley. When our team bought the brewery in mid-2016, we reinvigorated the business by hosting concerts, roller derby, bike polo, dodgeball, and lots of other events, all infused with quality brews and an exciting atmosphere. The city responded: our revenues jumped 335% from 2016 to 2017. We have plenty more room to grow in Fresno (sometimes customers drink our taproom dry!), but we've got bigger dreams than that.

## FAQ
1. **Where can we see how you arrived at the $4.48M valuation? Is there a more detailed financial presentation?**
   - Our consultant provided us with this valuation, and utilized the Present Value of future cash flows. Which have already increased significantly since then. Reg CF raises limit the amount of forward looking information we can display here. However, historical financial performance provided within the Form C has been reviewed by an independent CPA. Within the Form C you will find income/expenses, assets and liabilities, and any significant disclosures.
2. **I’m interested in the rate of return for investment. The degree of investment on my part will certainly depend on percentage a “B” member could conceivably expect. I understand such is dependent on sales, overhead, and the multitude of variables cited in your ‘Risks’ I’m looki...**
   - We cannot guarantee a return but, we are projecting that we would at least double our value within the next 12 months.
3. **I can see the brand growing, but what would you see as possible edits for the CF investors? Selling out to the big players in the industry one day?**
   - Yes that is one of the potential exit strategies. Others include share buyback by other investors or the company itself. Also note there could be share dividends along the way based on our ongoing cash position.
4. **If there are no warranties . It means, I'll loose my money?**
   - No, just means there is a risk, just like investing in any stock. You must evaluate each opportunity and independently assess it for the potential loss or gain. Thank you for your question!
5. **"Full Circle Brewing is offering Class B Membership Units, with no voting rights and at any point, the company can opt to buy your investment back at 120% of the principle and may pay you back with interest, over a 5 year period." Just to make sure I understand this correctly,...**
   - Depends on several factors. If the right is exercised, when the right is exercised, and the amount of dividends paid out in that same time frame. In near term it offers an agreed upon valuation, that if there was a larger equity transaction could actually end up securing a good benefit for Class B member units.

## Q&A
- Q: Businesses looking for funding through sources such as wefunder are high risk (otherwise there are much easier ways to get funding). To clarify your response to Boo Seng Lai, you say it depends on if the right is exercised. . . wouldn't you be most likely to exercise the 20% cap on profits when it was least likely to benefit the Class B? Also, you do not even appear to be required to pay the Class B immediately at the time you determine to exclude them from future profits instead reserving the right to use investors essentially as a loan. Is that correct?
- Q: "Full Circle Brewing is offering Class B Membership Units, with no voting rights and at any point, the company can opt to buy your investment back at 120% of the principle and may pay you back with interest, over a 5 year period." Just to make sure I understand this correctly, the option to buy back the investment at 120% of the principle at any point can legally limit an investor's investment at a 20% total return. Depending when that happens, say, few years down the road, it will make the investor's annual return to be rather minimal?
  - A: Depends on several factors. If the right is exercised, when the right is exercised, and the amount of dividends paid out in that same time frame. In near term it offers an agreed upon valuation, that if there was a larger equity transaction could actually end up securing a good benefit for Class B member units.
