Certificate Vignette Pancho's Mexican Buffet operates about 40 family dining Mexican restaurants that offer an all-you-care-to-eat cafeteria-style buffet. The menu also includes individual entrees and the restaurants offer table service to patrons after they have gone through the service line. (Just raise the small Mexican flag at the table for refills.) The chain's buffet features more than 30 freshly prepared items, including tamales, enchiladas, tacos, and chalupas. Its units are located primarily in Texas. Founded in 1966, Pancho's is owned by Stephen Oyster, a former executive at Jack in the Box.

The total amount of funds required for the Merger (including related costs and expenses) is estimated to be approximately $7.4 million. Of this amount, approximately $6.9 million will be required to pay the merger consideration, and the remainder will be used for payment of certain fees and expenses associated with the merger. Parent and Sub intend to effect the Merger through credit facilities financing described in the commitment letters described below (the "Commitment Letters"), on the terms and conditions in the Commitment Letters. The Commitment Letters are attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2 to this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D. Because financing is a condition to the Merger, each condition to funding set forth in the Commitment Letters is effectively a condition to effect the Merger. There are numerous conditions to these financings. Parent and Sub have delivered to the Company executed copies of (1) a commitment letter from American Commercial Capital LLC ("ACC") to loan up to $5 million Rockbay Properties Ltd. II, a Texas limited partnership and an affiliate of Stephen Oyster ("Rockbay"), on the terms contained in ACC's commitment letter to Rockbay (the "ACC Commitment Letter"), which funds will in turn be transferred to the surviving corporation contemporaneously with the Merger in return for certain of the real property of the surviving corporation, and (2) a commitment letter from Mr. Oyster to loan an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the merger consideration and all other fees and expenses required to be paid by Parent and Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, less the ACC Commitment,
