LIQUOR LICENSE DISAPPROVAL FORM

Police Department Liquor License Disapproval Recommendation

| Application Information

The Police Department recommends disapproval of this liquor license application as the
applicants are not proven to be capable qualified and reliable to own and operate a Series 12
liquor license. Uros Miskovic, Lazar Miskovic and Zoran Miskovic were unresponsive,
providing late, inconsistent information on application, misused a Federal (SBA) loan to
finance the purchase of Mr. Lucky’s Restaurant & Bar and did not disclose past history of
endangerment charges for Zoran Miskovic.

On March 17, 2023 and March 22, 2023 Detective Gokool made several attempts by phone and
electronic mail to contact the business owners originally listed on application, Uros and Lazar,
however both applicants were unresponsive.

The state application reflects ownership as Mr. Lucky’s Restaurant Bar LLC. The Arizona
Corporation Commission reflects Uros is the sole member and agent. The City of Phoenix
Questionnaire (#8) lists Uros, in addition to his brother Lazar as the owners. During the interview
Lazar stated he was the agent and would be responsible for the day to daily operations and Uros
would be the owner. When asked about their experience Lazar stated that Uros and their father
Zoran owned and operated a trucking company for approximately 9 years and were currently
operating the trucking business out of the Mr. Lucky’s property, but neither of them has any
experience owning, managing or operating a restaurant or liquor establishment.

Lazar was asked about the $150,000.00 paid using personal savings (question 9-City
Questionnaire) Lazar stated the loan was paid using a portion of a $500,000.00 SBA loan acquired
by ZM Trucking LLC that is owned by brother Zoran. Lazar was informed that the loan was not
disclosed on the state liquor license application or city questionnaire. Zoran was asked if he was a
member of the business and he stated, yes, it was a family business. Lazar was informed, that
Zoran needed to be added as owner to State application and City Questionnaire.

According to the loan security agreement Section 7, titled Changes to Borrower's Legal Structure,
the borrower must notify secured party by writing or electronic communication not less than 30 days
before taking any of the following actions: Place of Business, Jurisdiction of Organization, or Name,
line a. states changing or reorganizing the type of organization of form under which it does
business. Zoran had not followed this and incorrectly used the SBA loan.

On April 3, 2023, the State application was amended to add Zoran as an owner. Question 14 on
state questionnaire, in relation to citations, arrests, indictments, convictions or summons, Zoran
checked “No.” However, Arizona Supreme Court records reflect Zoran was arrested for
Endangerment ARS 13-1201A on 4/8/18 and was convicted of Endangerment on 8/10/18.

Due to the above factors the applicants Uros Miskovic, Lazar Miskovic and Zoran Miskovic have not
shown they are capable, qualified, and reliable to hold a Series 12 liquor license.

This recommendation for disapproval is submitted by: Det. R. Gokool 7605
