BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSALS.  The Company's shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement and other relevant documents at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: American Restaurant Concepts, Inc.,

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created thereby
.  All statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues and costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "believes" or the negative thereof or any variation thereon or similar terminology or expressions.  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from results proposed in such statements.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the approval of the proposals
to be acted upon at the annual meeting
by the Company's shareholders, (ii) the decision by the Company's board of directors to implement certain of the proposals in the event such proposals are approved by the shareholders, and (iii) the effect that adoption or rejection of the proposals by the Company's shareholders and, with respect to certain of the proposals, the decision by the Company's board of directors to implement the proposals will have on the price of the Company's shares of common stock.  Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013 and its other filings and submissions with the SEC.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
