Overview

We feel Premier Development & Investment offers a unique investment opportunity, particularly for the speculative investor looking to get in early. PDVN is a development stage company in the early stages of conducting operations. Its plan of operation is to invest in and develop a series of theme-based restaurant and bar properties that can evolve into stand-alone chains or franchise opportunities. Because the Company has limited investment capital and restricted access to capital markets, its strategy for initial operations is to develop new restaurant and bar concepts through joint ventures, equity investments or partnership agreements. This will reduce its financial exposure while building a foundation for growth.

Coconut Grove Grille and Blue Water Bar™

PDVN is the Managing Partner and an equity participant in Coconut Grove Group, Ltd., a joint venture project involving the development of a chain of Caribbean-based restaurant and bar properties under the trade name Coconut Grove Grille and Blue Water Bar™.

On July 30, 2001, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement for the formation of Coconut Grove Group, Ltd., a joint venture that is 20% owned by PDVN and 80% owned by Tiki Hut Enterprises, Ltd.  PDVN is the Managing Partner of this joint venture and, as such, receives a management fee in addition to its share in the joint venture's net profits.

The Coconut Grove concept centers around a casual, open-aired Caribbean-themed restaurant and bar offering guests a distinctive and relaxing island dining and drinking experience. Central to each Coconut Grove is a large outside deck and patio area where guests can relax and enjoy their drinks and food while overlooking a beautiful waterfront view. Integrated into the deck and patio area is a free standing tiki bar, stage area for live performances and dancing, and a small swimming pool to accommodate approximately a dozen swim-up barstools.

Coconut Grove’s drink menu features original specialty drinks such as the Sunset Margarita, Blue Stingray and Pirates Passion. Each specialty drink is available in its own unique souvenir glass, mug or shot glass. Coconut Grove’s dinner menu features a variety of hand-cut aged Certified Angus steaks and prime rib, fresh seafood and a variety of Caribbean-styled entrees with prices starting at US$14. In addition, Coconut Grove features an extensive list of wines from around the world to complement any meal or special occasion.

Growth Strategy

Disciplined Growth and Prosperity

The Company's business strategy calls for the development of theme-based restaurant and bar concepts through strategic partnerships and joint venture projects. Ultimately these concepts are to be built into full-fledged chains and franchise opportunities. By co-developing the restaurant and bar concepts in this manner PDVN is able to:

  1. reduce its financial exposure by sharing in the development and marketing costs typically associated with opening new restaurant and bar concepts; 

  2. generate secondary or alternative sources of revenue by providing professional restaurant and bar management consulting services through the collective expertise of its management team; and 

  3. better diversify its restaurant and bar portfolio to minimize financial exposure to any single operation or concept.

Acquisitions and Future Growth

PDVN is constantly on the lookout for new acquisitions or strategic partnerships that may make a good fit with its business strategy. The Company anticipates making several strategic acquisitions in the future to accelerate growth and profitability. PDVN also anticipates entering into other forms of agreement that make good business sense, such as the Coconut Grove joint venture.

Summary

The Restaurant industry is to register a 12th consecutive year of real growth in 2003, with sales expected to reach a record $426.1 billion. This represents an anticipated growth of 4.5% over 2002. On a typical day in 2003, the restaurant industry will post average sales of nearly $1.2 billion.

Casual dining, PDVN's target, is the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry.  According to the National Restaurant Association, sales in this segment increased at a 6.9% annual compound growth rate throughout the 1990s, and are estimated at $44 billion annually.  We believe that this segment of the restaurant industry will continue to benefit from current demographic trends, most notably a maturing baby-boomer population.  The baby-boomers, or adults aged 37-55, tend to eat out more than the generations before them.  Should this demographic trend continue, as they age so might their frequency for eating out.  Another growing trend we believe will contribute to further increases in casual dining is the two-income family, which may lead to more discretionary income but less discretionary time for cooking and cleaning-up at home.

In addition to consumers eating out more frequently, they are also drinking more than ever outside of their homes.  According to Adams Business Media, a market research group, alcohol sales at restaurants and bars topped $61 billion in 2000, an all-time high.  We believe this is statistically important because most drinks are typically marked up between 500% to 800%, which is about double the typical drink markup only four years ago.  Should this trend continue, and we believe it will, sales of alcohol may become an increasingly more significant contributor to PDVN's overall sales and, possibly, the most significant contributing factor to its net income.  

Premier Development & Investment, Inc. represents a Strong Speculative BUY opportunity.  It is rare to see a chance to get in on the ground floor of a company operating in such a solid growth market.  When this is combined with a solid business plan, fiscal responsibility and strong management a winner is the result.

We will be preparing a comprehensive Research Report on Premier Development and Investment, Inc. (OTCBB: PDVN). In the interim, take a closer look for yourself and you will see the investment potential.  Taking into account the small float, giving early investors the opportunity to realize substantial growth as the market becomes aware of PDVN, now is the time to invest.
