Collateral Sr rnnort
Our note is secured with a first security lien on all accounts receivable of the borrower, with an advance rate of B5o/o
of current accounts less than 90 days. At month-end,8/37/2012, the borrower had A/R outstandings of $720m, of
which $699m were current. With the current loan outstanding of $534m, our LTV is at760/o.
Relaterl deht
The related exposure is to Swann Investments LLC, a SPE investor group of ten individuals which include 3 of our 4
principals. The debt is secured with the company plant/building that is leased to our borrower. The building & land
wasappraisedong/L9/2O12for$2,800m,whichprovidesa59o/oLTV. TheSwanndebtcarriesthepersonal
guaranties of the ten owners. The current outstanding debt is $1,592m with monthly P&I payments of $18m, and
long-term maturity of LlU2022.
In 2000, Craftmaster Printers, Inc ("CP") became a distressed credit for another local bank. After the death of the
original owners, the relocation of the business into an expansive facility with a large amount of debt, the company's
financial condition deteriorated. A group of investors stepped in to assume ownership. However, despite a growth in
revenue, the limited profitability and heavy debt burden kept the company struggling for lack of cash flow to service
debt. Several investors and managers had come and gone until 2005. In 2005 the company filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. At that time, with only the guarantees from the former owners/ the other bank (not
Regions) forgave g2mm, the press/ equipment financing source forgave almost $3mm, and the company was able to
restructure supplier terms, (including their principal paper source which is still their primary vendor today,) which
allowed them to exit from bankruptcy and continue to operate.
By this time in 2005, the management team which had settled to the current four owners - 2 investors and the 2
day-to-day managers (see descriptions below) - established Craftmaster Holdings Inc as the parent company and
100o/o owner of CP. And in a separate transaction, the investor group, Swann Investments LLC, refinanced the
existing building that is leased to CP. With a restructured balance sheet in place, the company had a profitable
period, with good cash flows during the years of 2006 - 2008, when other printers saw deteriorating conditions in
the marketplace. During this time, Regions stepped in to provide financing on the related OOCRE Swann
Investments loan and this RLOC to carry the borrower's accounts receivable.
Financial highlights
After reaching a high point in revenues at $5.2mm and profitability during FY2OO7 , conditions quickly changed, with
a revenue decline of 18o/o over the next two years. Although gross margins improved over the same 2006-2008
period, net losses and cash flow shortages appeared due to increased operating expense during that time,

During the period of growth it appears the company's cash flows could not keep up, and when revenues slowed,
their operating expenses outpaced the cash flowing back into the operation. Consequently, they have remained
under-capitalized and continue to struggle with cash flow and debt service. The company has built up a loss carryforward which amounts to $3,156m.
Finally, due to the cash flow shortage during FY2011, the borrower slowed in payroll tax payments and is currently,
delinquent for approximately $350m. This situation has been turned over to their outside CPA for appropriate
action to repay and settle any fines or penalties. The borrower is now paying its ongoing payroll taxes.
Crrrrent management
In early 20L2, after considering FY2011 results, investor Mike Hubbard stepped up to the present situation with the
current business plan and turnaround strategy. He has recognized the company's growing debt, historical shortage
of cash, and production inefficiencies. His strategy is to raise equity capital to retire debt and locate quality,
production management.
Phillip Cole is a t6.60/o owner of CP, who retired from CP in 2010. He has a background with over 30 years
experience in the production and commercial printing business. Cole has agreed to return as COO to manage the
borrower's daily operations, without a salary through at least year-end 2012. This position may be the most
important key to the success of the borrower.
With this manager in place, Barry Whatley, President and a 30.6olo owner, will return to his sales responsibilities on
a full time basis. Whatley's experience was as a top salesman with Verizon and others, prior to joining the initial

immediatety take a greater role in the business development. Hubbard is the President of the IMG Auburn Network
which holds marketing and broadcast rights for Auburn University Athletics and, in addition, serves as Speaker of
the Alabama State House of Representatives. Pat Dye is the retired head football coach and athletic directorfor
Auburn University, and the owner of deer hunting lodges and a specialized tree nursery. Both have excellent
contacts and name recognition in the southeastern market. Each of the four investors guarantees the debt for
725o/o of their individual ownership percentage in the company.
Gr
rarantors
In Summary: Hubbard provides an 8/72, joint personal statement with total assets of $8,380m, estimated net
worth of $7,778m, liquidity of $865m, and 2011 Tax AGI of $434m. Dye provides a 7/72, personal statement with
total assets of $7,579m, estimated net worth of $6,343m, liquidity of $31m, and 2011Tax AGI of $56m. Whatley
provides a7/tZjoint personal statement with total assets of $577m, estimated net worth of $180m, liquidity of
g2m and 2011 Tax AGI of $239m. Cole provides a 6/72, joint personal statement with total assets of $2,358m,
estimated net worth of $2,355m, liquidity of $859m and 2011Tax AGI of $57m. Each individual provides a 725o/o
guaranty of their ownership.
Crrrrent Strategy
In an effort to raise $1.5mm in new equity capital, the borrower is currently seeking 10 investors to subscribe to a
preferred stock offering of $150m each, Hubbard has the contacts and is leading the drive to solicit these
individuals. The basic terms of this preferred stock ownership is a 60lo cuffiulative, quarterly dividend and
exoectation to reourchase same bv the 5th anniversary at a 1Oo/o premium. At this date the borrower has a
commitmentof 7' investors, and ccjnfirmed cash payments from 3. Hubbard expects to have this offering fully
subscribed within 45 days, and all funds collected by year-end 20t2. Regions will allow the quarterly dividend to be
paid to these investors during this extension in order to allow the borrower to raise the needed capital.
The $1.5mm will be used for the following (approximate):

Payment of these obligations will eliminate the current annual debt service requirements of $390m, but add $90m
in dividend payments which would be due to the preferred shareholders, but overall would significantly improve cash
flow. The debt above to Southern States was financing secured by all furniture, fixtures & equipment of the
business; Heidelberg press debt is the remainder of the debt from the original purchase, which they would hope to
get discounted; the payroll tax issue is an account they seek to clear as soon as possible; the note to Cole was for
inventory purchases due a period of cash shortage; and the Regions line reduction is a pay down of the revolver
which has shown limited movement in recent months.
The borrower has provided Regions a monthly forecast forthe final four months of FY12, in which they show
profitability for that period. After showing deficits in 6 of the eight months actual YTD, CP is projected to loss
($141m) for the FY12. EBITDA is projected at $151m.
Fxisting Shareholder Deht
In addition, current shareholder debt that totals $898.5m, including principal & interest, will be converted to 68m
shares of common stock ownership and 35m preferred share options, and distributed equally to Hubbard, Whatley
and Dye, The debt consists of $299.5m in debt to each of these three shareholders,
Conclrrsion
The relationship team believes that current management is taking the appropriate immediate steps to make
changes in an effort to eliminate debt, increase revenues, place controls on printing operations and expenses. We
believe the investors are driven by a commitment to protect their personal reputation, and will diligently work
toward the success of their strategy. We recommend renewal with the added agreement to complete the capital
raise, debt retirement, shareholder debt conversion and to provide monthly borrowing base certificates, aging of
accounts receivables, quarterly company statements, annual accountant- reviewed statements, and current
guarantor statements, as needed.

I will ask Coach Dye for names. But I know that if its going to get done, I will have to do it. Plus, I
have more to lose than the others.
AG0541954
Mike ............. I would suggest you also run it by the Coach ...... he probably
has twice the potential investors that you would have and I also think it would
be better that this be perceived as a CORPORATE problem.........not just a
Mike Hubbard problem.
Dont forget to ask your client if I can talk to him about his tax issue. As you will see
from the attached letter, I am on a warpath with them.
With regard to the Craftmaster deal I mentioned to you on Thursday, Will Brooke
has helped me put together a scenario that I believe will work. If I can find 10
people to invest $150,000 (total of $1,500,000), I can pay all of the back payroll
taxes, virtually all of the remaining debt (including 1/3 of the LOC) and free up
roughly $40,000 per month in cash flow. The offer is to pay a 6% return on the
investment beginning 3 months after the investment with a payback of the original
$150,000 in five years.
AG0541955
Do you have any ideas of who I should approach about being an investor? Will
Brooke has already said he will do it personally, so I need 9 more.
It is a pretty good return compared to what other investments are doing and, in the
big scheme of things, not a lot of money for these type people. Plus, it will be
helping Coach Dye and me.

I thought you might think of some other folks who may be prospects. Do you think
Rob would have any interest?
I also thought about going to see Bob Young with Frazier Lanier to see if he has any

thoughts. I need to get this done as quickly as possible especially the past due
payroll taxes.
