Letter to Our Shareholders

I am very pleased to report that Year 5 has been a great success
for Beach Drive Inc. and in turn our shareholders. Since Year 3,
when BDI introduced a new management team, directing itself
towards innovation and growth, we have released three new
product models and increased revenue by 65%. Despite an ever-
changing market and a rising demand from consumers for
environmentally friendly product packaging we have been able
to increase global market share while keeping costs low.

Although our management team faced some challenges in Year 3 and Year 4, our long
term planning and preparation for market growth has significantly paid off in Year 5. As
markets both domestically and abroad have begun to prosper we have been poised to
meet rising market demand. We project future market growth accompanied by a growing
market share, and as a result we have continued to expand our operations in order to meet
the increasing demand of our customers. As the market size has risen our financial
position has consistently improved preparing us for upcoming years. Below are a few
highlights from Year 5.

Net Income: Net income in Year 5 was $1.9 million, up from $110,000 in Year 4.
Gross Sales: Gross sales for Year 5 were over $22 million, a 23% increase from Year 4.
Market Share: Market share at year-end was over 23%, a 4% increase from Year 4.

Not only do we aim to meet the demand of our existing customers, we also strive to
continuously provide the most desirable and advanced products on the market in order to
attract new customers to our brand. By offering market specific products we have been
able to thrive in each of the four markets in which we operate. We believe that in order to
maintain current customers while attracting new customers our product needs to be not
only unique but also durable. By developing high quality products that fit the needs of the
customers in each of our respective markets we intend to maximize customer satisfaction
and in turn ensure customer retention.

At BDI we recognize our employees are our most valuable assets and therefore we invest
heavily in extensive training programs and competitive employee compensation
packages. Through the business model of providing the most advanced products on the
market that precisely meet customer demand and providing our employees a workplace in
which they can prosper we will continue to increase net income and as a result increase
our stockholders value of their stake in BDI.

We look forward to sharing our future successes with our shareholders, employees, and
management team in the years to come.

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Highlights

Beach Drive Inc. experienced a
significant increase in stock value
during Year 5. In Quarter 1 we
issued stock in order to raise capital
for further growth. Following that
slight decrease in stock price we
have since repurchased the majority
of those shares and simultaneously
reached a record stock value of
$1.30 in the Quarter 4, up from
$1.07 one year prior, making our
market cap $8.19 million.

During Year 5 BDI greatly increased
our annual net income to a record
$1.9 million. This improved both
our income to equity ratio as well as
our income to sales ratio. Income to
equity increased from 0.89% in Year
4 to 13.43% in Year 5. Our income
to sales ratio increased from 0.65%
in Year 4 to 8.57% in Year 5. This
growth has been a result of our long
term planning and preparation for
predicted future market growth.
Despite an issuance of more shares we have also been able to increase our earning per
share from $0.018 in Year 4 to $0.286 in Year 5, highlighting the increased earnings that
BDI has achieved by cutting costs, growing customer demand, increasing sales prices and
implementing aggressive advertising campaigns.

In Year 5 BDI has maintained
our position as a major market
competitor. We achieved
record market shares in each of
our areas of operation.
Increasing market share from
Year 4 Quarter 4 by 5% in
Merica 1, 3% in Merica 2, 2%
in Merica 3, and an
unprecedented 10% in Sereno.
Our current global market
share is up 4% from year-end
Year 4 to 23.4%.

While the market for flash drives has continued to grow, BDIs unit sales drastically
outpaced market growth in Year 5. This growth coupled with rising demand and higher
product prices to reflect new product introductions significantly increased our revenue. In
Year 5 our revenue was over
$22 million up 23% from $17
million in Year 4, and up 35%
from $14 million in Year 3.
This increase in revenue from
Year 4 to Year 5 has allowed
us to improve our financial
position, repurchase shares,
increase product innovation,
and continue to expand our
operations on a global scale, in
turn increasing shareholder
value.

Research and Development

BDI has consistently led the market in R&D
investments. In Year 5 we invested 20%
more than the market average in R&D and
10% more than our closest competitor.
Through heavy investment in R&D we were
the first to release Model 4 in Year 4 and the
first and only company to release Model 5
in Year 5. This innovative approach has
allowed us to increase our units sold and by
raising prices to reflect our continuously
improved premium product we have
increased revenue.

Fixed Assets

BDI currently has the highest value of fixed assets in our industry, 11% more than the
market average. Our investments have allowed us to maintain a sufficient production
capacity to meet demand and remain prepared for market growth. We have continued to
invest in our Sereno plant, including a plant expansion in Year 5 Quarter 4 in order to cut
our production costs with the aim of increasing net income.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

At year-end of Year 5, BDI had over $3 Million cash on hand, up from $1.7 Million at
the end of Year 4. With this capital we will continue to innovate, expand our operations,
and maintain a high level of employee satisfaction. This will also enable us to introduce
dividends and continue with stock buybacks in order to increase our shareholder value.

Market Analysis:

Beach Drive Inc. currently operates in four different areas. These areas include our home
market, Merica 3, as well as Merica 1, Merica 2, and Sereno. We have sales offices in
each of these markets in order to keep our sales team close to our customers. We
currently have two manufacturing facilities, one in Merica 3 and one in Sereno. We
expanded our facilities to Sereno in Year 3, which allowed us to take advantage of lower
production costs and have a greater production presence in that growing market. Each
year, we purchase a Consumer Preference Report (CPR) in order to specifically identify
which types of products our customers desire in each of the markets.

Merica 3 is our home market where we currently produce many of our innovative
products. According to the CPR, the consumers in Merica 3 desired Quality 1/ Feature 2
products. However, the difference in consumer demand between product structures in this
market is incremental and we believe it is important to maintain a differentiated and
innovative product. We are, as a result, one of only two companies selling a Quality 2/
!"#$ & '(()#* +",-$. /"#01 2$34" 5(06 7 P
Feature 3 product in this market, the other company being Company 2, Macs Maple
Syrup.

In this market, because we incur many of our corporate costs, our costs per unit have
been higher, which has required higher sales and precise inventory management in order
to compensate for higher respective operating costs. We have begun to shift operations
out of Merica 3 in order to lower production costs and in turn increase overall profit, and
raise shareholder value. The economy has continued to grow consistently, and at a much
faster rate than in previous years, throughout Merica during Year 5 and we therefore
expect our market to continue to grow as well. Despite minimization of production in
Merica 3 we still remain at a production capacity capable of meeting current market
demand and poised to meet future increases. We have worked to keep costs low and
innovation high by maintaining aggressive training and R&D departments at our home
office. This approach has been effective and has resulted in Merica 1 becoming
increasingly profitable each quarter throughout Year 5.

Merica 2 was our largest market throughout Year 5 in terms of unit sales. In Year 5
Quarter 1, the industry sold 100,000 more units here then the next largest market, Merica
3. The consumers in Merica 2 desired a Quality 1/ Feature 1 product, according to the
CPR. Despite this preference we recognized that there remains a distinct unfulfilled
market for high quality flash drives, which we aim to expand. We have adjusted our
tactics in this Market, and made the transition from selling Model 4, a Quality 3/ Feature
3 product in Quarter 3 to Model 5, a Quality 2/ Feature 2 product in Quarter 4. This
product, meeting a slightly lower quality niche but remaining above the budget Quality 1/
Feature 1 products, proved to be successful because for the first time we took control of
the largest market share in this significantly sized market.

Merica 1 is another Merica market, which has become increasingly profitable for us
throughout Year 5. A large majority of consumers in this market desired a Quality 3/
Feature 3 product. After selling the most desired product structure in this market for
almost three years, we transitioned into selling a Quality 2/ Feature 3 product. This move
was in response to an oversaturation
of companies providing products to
fulfill the demand for Quality 3/
Feature 3 products. Two other
competitors were also selling this
product structure in this market. We
saw our sales increase after making
the move to being the only company
selling a Quality 2/ Feature 3
product in Merica 1. This shift
proved to be lucrative because it
allowed us to reach the second
largest market share in Merica 1.

Sereno is the only foreign market that we currently produce and sell in. We have seen the
exchange rate stay extremely consistent over the past five years, remaining at 6 Pesos.
Although there have been market predictions of shifts in the exchange rate it has
remained stable from Year 3 through Year 5. It is the fastest growing market in our world
and we see a lot of potential for growth here. The consumers here prefer a Quality 1/
Feature 3 product, which is exactly what we offer. By offering an innovative product with
lower quality components we are able to meet market demand and keep both production
costs and sales prices low. Although two other companies offer the same product
structure, we have taken control of this market and have developed a loyal following of
consumers. We held a 32% market share here by the end of Year 5. We plan on
continuing to be industry leaders in this expanding market.

Although exchange rates have remained highly stable over the course of the last couple
years this is an aspect of our business model, which we are aware could become a risk in
the future. If the Sereno Peso weakens it could diminish domestic earnings, and if the
Peso strengthens it could cut the savings levels we are currently experiencing in Sereno.
We predict that in coming years the economy in Sereno will continue to grow, in turn
providing us with a stable and growing market in which to sell our product while
maintaining a steady exchange rate in relation to Merica. Based on the profitability that
has resulted from operations in Sereno we expanded our production plant there in Year 5
Quarter 4 in order to increase capacity in anticipation of growing markets in both Merica
and Sereno. We are currently one of only three companies in our world which have
invested in a Sereno plant, and therefore we see this as a great competitive advantage
which will allow use to continue to provide multi-feature products at competitive prices
for years to come.

Marketing and Product Description

At Beach Drive Inc. we believe that providing our customers with the product that they
desire most is the key to success. Our marketing team uses consumer preference studies
and experience to determine the needs and wants of our customers and to create the most
suitable products for each market. This information is then passed on to our
manufacturing department, which creates leading industry products with the designs and
features to satisfy customer demands and preferences.

We remained our worlds leader in innovation, by being the first
in the industry to release both Model 4 and Model 5. The first
model that we released was the Smart-Drive. By Year 3 we
released Model 2, the Ultra-Drive. In Year 4 we released Model
4, the Ultra-Drive-Mini. Most recently, in Year 5, we released
our most innovative product yet, the Key-Drive. Following the
release of our most recent model, BDI achieved record sales and
revenue. In recognition of our newest model, we were honored at
a global consumer technologies trade show, the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES), with the 2014 Best of Innovations
Award.
!"#$ & '(()#* +",-$. /"#01 2$34" 5(06 7 8R
Beach Drive Inc. pursues an aggressive advertising platform. Since our first year of
operations, we have continuously increased annual advertising expenditures. These
investments have enabled us to reach more consumers through our advertising campaigns
and increase the general recognition of our brand. In order to connect with our target
customers, in the midst of the Internet age, a large portion of our marketing is done
through online advertising. Within the past two years we have expanded our marketing
efforts into technology tradeshows and conventions. Beach Drive Inc. recently became
the main sponsor for SXSW Interactive, which is an annual multi-day trade show that
showcases the newest computer technologies from around the world.

BDI has also utilized social media as a marketing tool. Through the use of social media,
we are able to connect and interact with hundreds of thousands of Millennials and
consumers of every generation. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and
LinkedIn allow us to use active marketing to get the opinions and values of our highly
valued customers and continue to provide each market with the most desirable and
cutting-edge products.

Our Products

We have discovered that our consumers tend to prefer high quality products with multiple
features; therefore this is what we aim to deliver. Our products are industry leaders in
quality and features. We have consistently been the first to market with the release of
each of our new models. In Year 4, we jumped from Model 2 to Model 4, and since then
we have been one model ahead of even our closest competitor. Our newest model, Model
5, or the Key-Drive, set record sales and revenue upon its release in Year 5 Quarter 4.

Model 5: The Key-Drive

With the most up to date technology and a unique
design, the Key-Drive gives our consumers a
product that they can take with them everywhere
they go without even noticing it is there.
Whenever and wherever there is a need to save or
transfer data safely, they can simply pull out their
key chain and insert this extremely innovative and
mobile flash drive.

Model 4: The Ultra-Mini-Drive

The Ultra-Mini-Drive was a revitalized version of our Model
2. As we recognized that consumers were desiring a more
modern, transportable flash drive, we decided to minimize
the size and provide them with a sleek and discreet product
which can be slipped into the change pocket of a pair of jeans
or even left in your computer, acting as a convenient and
mobile storage tool.
