(OTCBB: ANPZ), operator and franchisor of the award-winning Dick's Wings & Grill® restaurants, announced that it is issuing the following letter to its stockholders from CEO Richard Akam:
To our stockholders,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for all of the support you have provided to the company and its management team this past year, and for the patience you have displayed as long-term investors.  We are grateful for the continued confidence of everyone who owns a share in our company. 
This past year marked a pivotal and exciting time for American Restaurant Concepts.  During this period, we began the process of transforming the company from a Jacksonville, Florida-based franchisor of Dicks Wings® restaurants into a national franchisor of a diversified mix of premium restaurant brands. 
Let me briefly recap the several noteworthy achievements and organizational changes that were made to enhance the long-term profitability of American Restaurant Concepts this past year:
We substantially increased our royalty revenue, average royalty per active restaurant and franchisee profitability.
We paid off virtually all of our outstanding debt.
I was honored to be appointed CEO, joining Daniel Slone as our new CFO and Ketan Pandya as a member of the board of directors.
We appointed key personnel into the positions of Director of Operations, Director of Training and Quality Assurance, and Director of Business Development.
We introduced a new Dick's Wings & Grill logo and a new "Family Fun Foodery" tag line to our brand.
We entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars that provided us with the right to operate a Dick's Wings & Grill concession stand at EverBank Field.
We completed a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of our common stock to make our stock more attractive to institutional investors and strategic partners.
We obtained a $1 million revolving line of credit facility from Blue Victory Holdings, a Louisiana-based private equity firm.
We opened a new Dick's Wings restaurant in the Nocatee development in Ponte Vedra, FL.
We engaged Upside Group Franchise Consulting to help us design and implement a comprehensive branding platform to accelerate our franchise sales efforts.
We are already blessed with several attributes that most companies spend a lifetime trying to attain: a strong brand, best-in-class products, compelling long-term opportunities, focused strategies, and an incredibly capable and energized team.  We have a 100% franchised, asset-light business model with high margins and low capital expenditure requirements that will result in strong future cash flow generation.  We also have an intense focus on driving franchise profitability, which will drive strong returns for both our franchisees and stockholders.
Our entire management team has worked tirelessly to further develop our Dick's Wings franchise, establish new relationships and identify new industry opportunities.  Of course, our efforts would be fruitless without the dedication of our franchise partners who bring passion to their jobs and who delight in sharing our signature chicken wings with customers.  I appreciate their continued efforts and could not be more grateful for what they have achieved this past year.
We believe our future is brighter than it has ever been.  We are performing exceptionally well and believe we are making the right investments in the people, assets and companies to allow us to grow quickly and efficiently during 2014.  When I reflect upon how far we've come during the past year, I could not be more motivated and optimistic about what we will achieve in the next year. 
I know that great things lie ahead for American Restaurant Concepts.  I am very proud to lead this company and will aspire to do what's right for our company and our stockholders.
On behalf of our entire team, we thank you for believing in us, our company, our brand, our products and our future, and for your continued support of, and confidence in, American Restaurant Concepts. 
Sincerely,
Richard W. AkamChief Executive Officer

手机无线芯片出货量放缓 但前景可期
上网时间：
市场研究集团Forward Concepts通过对WSTS的最新半导体出货量统计数据进行分析，认为尽管出现了手机芯片的出货量放缓现象，但对统计的数据表示质疑。手机专用和RISC芯片的五月份出货量比四月份增加了8%，从去年五月份累计增长率为47%。Forward Concepts的总裁Will Strauss同时也指出，WSTS的报告称用于无线设备的DSP五月份出货量比四月份下滑14%，但仍比去年5月份的出货量高出30%。Strauss认为，尽管月份环比没有季度环比那么有说服力，但仍能显示出一些趋势。例如，用于消费市场(主要是消费者电子产品)的DSP出货量持续强劲，而汽车电子、有线通信以及存储器(磁盘驱动器控制器)仍然低迷。整体而言，DSP出货量(不包括手机)五月份比四月份下降了3%，但让比去年同期高14%。

has re-opened its former pastry and coffee kiosk as the . The all-day menu, local wines on tap, and hands-off service inspired by the casual cafés of France and Italy make this an ideal spot to while away an afternoon. The
team produces all the Café’s savory menu items, which include EDK’s famed wild mushroom and goat cheese pizza, truffle fries, and tarragon-steamed mussels, as well as some new hot sandwiches and a superb version of (now-trending) spicy duck wings. Grab a marble-topped table in the main café area, or abscond with your prizes to the sexy lobby lounge. In either space, the enormous windows looking out at the Sonoma Square supply top quality people-watching for those who left their manuscripts at home. Did I mention the duck wings are amazing? 405 1st St. W., Sonoma, 707-996-3030.
In Napa, Michelin-starred chef Aaron London of
is celebrating the arrival of spring vegetables with a bundle of new prix-fixe options. If the six-course, individually plated chef’s tasting menu at $65 per person sounds too formal, you can select your own six-course meal from the à la carte menu for only $50 per person, with each course served family style. The restaurant has also kept its three-course prix-fixe option at lunch and dinner ($35 per person), which offers an astounding value and worthy choices from the regular menu for each course. New additions to the wine list (like a brut rosé sparkler from Sicily and gewürztraminer from the Sonoma Coast), and experiments with infused sake have freshened up the libation options, as well. Beginning March 28th, Ubuntu will be serving dinner seven nights a week, with lunch on Saturdays and Sundays only. 1140 Main St., Napa, 707-251-5656.
