EXPLANATORY NOTE

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 on April 6, 2012 (the "Original Report"). We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A-1 (this " Amendment") to make the following changes:

To add Note 17 for the restatement;

To update management discussion and analysis in Item 7;

To restate financial statements as required;

To add restated reference in the financial statements;

To amend disclosure of Controls and Procedures in Item 9A; and

Provide currently dated Exhibit Nos. 31-1 and 32-1.

No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 10-K, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the original Form 10-K.

On September 7, 2012, the audit committee of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s management determined that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 could no longer be relied on. The Company determined that the Financial Statements of Kiarabrite (Pty) Ltd., Dimaflo (Pty) Ltd., Tundraspex (Pty) Ltd., Civisign (Pty) Ltd., Dimalogix (Pty) Ltd., and Chanticleer & Shaw Foods (Pty.) Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “South Africa Operations”) which are the South African management company and the four entities organized for the stores we operate in South Africa, and the company that owns the HOA franchise rights for the territory of South Africa, were not audited as the Company was led to believe. Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed to include the report of the independent registered public accounting firm responsible for performing the audit of our South Africa Operations. We have made no attempt in this Amendment to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report other than as noted in the previous paragraph. Also, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and our other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our future results may differ materially from our historical results and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected are the following: business conditions and general economic conditions; competitive factors, such as pricing and marketing efforts; and the pace and success of product research and development. These and other factors may cause expectations to differ.

Effective March 23, 2011, the Company's common stock was forward split, 2 shares for each share issued, pursuant to written consent by a majority of the Company's shareholders. All share references have been adjusted as if the split occurred prior to all periods presented.

Information regarding the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates is as follows:

Investors LLC is a limited liability company formed in 2006 through which the Company raised $5,000,000 and began its relationship with Hooters of America, Inc. (“HOA”). Initially structured as a loan transaction, the loan was repaid in early 2011 and $3,550,000 was invested in HOA Holdings, LLC (“HOA LLC”). HOA LLC completed the acquisition of HOA and Texas Wings, Inc. (“TW”) in early 2011 and created an operating company with 161 company-owned locations across sixteen states, or nearly half of all domestic Hooters restaurants and over one-third of the locations worldwide. Investors LLC owns approximately 3.1% of HOA LLC and the Company owns approximately 14% of Investors LLC.

Investors II is a fund with $2,650,660 in net assets at January 1, 2012, is managed by Advisors and receives performance fees.

Chanticleer Dividend Fund, Inc. (“CDF”) was formed on November 10, 2010 in Maryland. CDF filed a registration statement in January 2011 under Form N-2 with plans to register as a non-diversified, closed-end investment company. Advisors will have a role in management of CDF when its registration statement becomes effective.

Chanticleer Foundation, Inc. (“CF”) is a non-profit organization formed for charitable purposes. CF is controlled by its board, which consists of Mr. Pruitt, a director of the Company and an employee of the Company.

We have changed our focus recently from managing investments to owning and operating Hooters franchises internationally. Hooters restaurants are casual beach-themed establishments with sports on television, jukebox music, and the “nearly world famous” Hooters Girls. The menu consists of spicy chicken wings, seafood, sandwiches and salads. Each locations menu can vary with the tastes of the locality it is in. Hooters began in 1983 with its first restaurant in Clearwater, Florida. From the original restaurant and licensee Mr. Robert Brooks, Hooters has become a global brand, with locations in 44 states domestically and over 450 Hooters restaurants worldwide. Besides restaurants, Hooters has also branched out to other areas, including licensing its name to a golf tour and the sale of packaged food in supermarkets.

We expect to either own 100% of the Hooters franchise or partner with a local franchisee in the countries we target. We based this decision on what we believe to be the successful launch of our South African Hooters venture and believe we have aligned partners and operators in various international markets. We are focused on expanding our Hooters operations, and expect to use substantially all the net proceeds from the upcoming offering, in the following countries: South Africa, Brazil, Hungary, Australia and Europe.

Accordingly, we operate in two business segments, Hooters franchise restaurants and our continuing investment management and consulting services businesses.

South Africa

We currently have four Hooters locations in South Africa in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg (two locations), which are owned by four companies which we control. In order to obtain investor funds to pay for the initial costs involved in commencing operations for each of the South Africa locations, we agreed to allocate a portion of the profits from each restaurant such that the investors in Cape Town, Durban, and the first Johannesburg location receive 40% of the net profits after taxation (the “SA Profits”) until they have received a return of their investment and a pre-tax annual compounded return on that investment of 20% (the “SA Return”). Once the investors have received the SA Return, the investors are thereafter entitled to receive 10%, respectively, of the SA Profits.

We formed a management company to operate the current South African Hooters locations. We own 80% of the management company, with two members of local management owning the remaining 20%. The management company currently charges a management fee of 5% of net revenues to the Hooters locations in South Africa.

Other Countries

We are currently targeting the following countries for the opening of additional restaurants:

Brazil - we have acquired development rights for Hooters in five states of Brazil, which would include Rio de Janeiro. We will partner with the current local franchisee who owns the Hooters franchise rights in the state of Sao Paolo and we will own 60% of the entity holding the development rights and our local partner would own the remaining 40%.

Hungary - we have applied to HOA for franchise rights in Hungary, where we currently own 80% of the entity we anticipate will hold the franchise rights and our local partner owns the remaining 20%. We anticipate that we will contract with our local partner, who we believe is an experienced franchise restaurateur, to manage the day-to-day operations of the locations.

Australia - we have partnered with the current Hooters franchisee in a joint venture in which we own 49% and our partner 51%. The first Hooters restaurant under this joint venture (which would be the third Hooters restaurant currently open in Australia) opened in January 2012 in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney. We are in discussions to purchase from the same franchisee a partial interest in the first two existing Hooters locations in the Sydney area. We plan on opening our second jointly-owned Australian Hooters in the second quarter of 2012.

Europe – we have a non-binding letter of intent with a current franchisee to purchase 100% of an existing Hooters location.

Acquisition of Hooters Restaurants

Our trend toward focusing on Hooters arose when the Company and our partners completed the acquisition of HOA and TW in 2011. Investors LLC and its three partners, H.I.G. Capital, KarpReilly, LLC and Kelly Hall, president of TW, the largest Hooters franchisee in the United States, combined to form HOA LLC which created an operating company with 161 company-owned locations across sixteen states, or nearly half of all domestic Hooters restaurants and over one-third of the locations worldwide. The Company now owns approximately 14% of Investors LLC, and Investors LLC owns approximately 3% interest in HOA LLC. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not received any revenue from our equity interest in HOA LLC.

The Company received a payment of $400,000 at closing for its services and expense reimbursement in facilitating the acquisition of HOA and TW. In addition, for a minimum of four years, the Company will receive annual payments of $100,000 due in January each year while Mr. Pruitt serves on its board.

Management and consulting services

The Company provides management and consulting services for small companies which are generally seeking to become publicly traded. The Company also provides management and investment services for Investors LLC and Investors II, which are affiliates of the Company, and plans to provide services for CDF when it’s registration statement becomes effective. We will occasionally invest in other non-Hooters related opportunities when we believe this is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical fact are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "believes," "estimates," "projects" or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties beyond our reasonable control that could cause our actual business and results of operations to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. The safe harbor provisions provided in the Securities Litigation Reform Act do not apply to forward-looking statements we make in this report. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Our forward-looking statements are based on trends which we anticipate in our industry and our good faith estimate of the effect on these trends of such factors as industry capacity, product demand and product pricing. The inclusion of projections and other forward-looking statements should not be regarded a representation by us or any other person that we will realize our projections or that any of the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will prove to be accurate.

Management’s Analysis of Business

We expect to either own 100% of the Hooters franchise or partner with a local franchisee in the countries we target. We based this decision on what we believe to be the successful launch of our South African Hooters venture and believe we have aligned partners and operators in various international markets. We are focused on expanding our Hooters operations, and expect to use substantially all the net proceeds from the upcoming offering, in South Africa, Brazil, Hungary, Australia and Europe.

Accordingly, we operate in two business segments; Hooters franchise restaurants and our legacy investment management and consulting services businesses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN

Historical information:

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had current assets of $641,963 and $158,718; current liabilities of $3,720,486 and $645,634; and a working capital deficit of $3,078,523 and $486,916, respectively. The Company incurred a loss of $1,162,714 during the year ended December 31, 2011 and had an unrealized loss from available-for-sale securities of $13,005 and foreign currency translation losses of $4,372, resulting in a comprehensive loss of $1,180,091.

The Company's corporate general and administrative expenses averaged approximately $295,000 per quarter during 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2011, $68,000 was added when we began consolidating the South African operations. The Company expects costs to increase as we expand our footprint internationally in 2012. Effective October 1, 2011, the Company acquired majority control of the restaurants in South Africa and began consolidating these operations. The Company also will share 49% of the profits in our Hooters location opened in January 2012 in Campbelltown, Australia, a suburb of Sydney.

In addition, the Company has a note with a balance at December 31, 2011 of $242,964 owed to its bank which is due in August 2013 and a line of credit with its bank with a balance at December 31, 2011 of $1,165,000 (total available $2,000,000) due on August 20, 2012. We also have convertible notes payable with certain investors with a balance at December 31, 2011 of $1,625,000 due in the second quarter of 2012. The Company’s South African subsidiaries have bank overdraft and term facilities of $593,928 which are in place as of the date of this 10-K/A report. The Company plans to continue to use limited partnerships, if the Company’s contemplated raise is not completed or not fully subscribed, to fund its share of costs for additional Hooters restaurants.

The Company expects to meet its obligations in 2012 with some or all of the following:

File an S-1 Registration during the second quarter of 2012, and, assuming it becomes effective, plans to raise up to $15,000,000 from the sale of common stock and warrant units;

The Company received $100,000 in January 2012 as a fee for its CEO sitting on the Board of Hooters of America and expect to continue to receive this fee for the next three years based on the current agreement;

Extend a portion of its existing line of credit;

Convert its convertible notes payable into common stock.

If the above events do not occur or if the Company does not raise sufficient capital, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows:

The Company plans to use the funding from the S-1 Registration to complete its expansion plans in South Africa, Brazil, Australia, Hungary and Europe. The Company has used short-term financing to meet the preliminary requirements of its planned expansion, principally in South Africa and Australia. If the Company is unable to obtain the funding from the S-1 Registration, the Company would be required to limit its expansion plans. We would use limited partner funding and other sources of capital to the extent necessary to attempt to fund as much of the planned expansion as possible. There can be no assurance that any of this funding will be available when needed.

Cash requirements and capital expenditures:

In 2012, we expect to open one restaurant in each of the following countries – Australia (in addition to the one already opened in February 2012), Brazil, Hungary and South Africa. The Company expects the total cash requirements for these restaurants to be approximately $3.1 million, of which approximately $350,000 has been paid as of March 27, 2012.

In addition, we expect general and administrative expenses to be approximately $1.3-$1.4 million for 2012.

Discussion and analysis of known trends and uncertainties:

The World economy has been in a state of flux for some time with the debt problems of a number of countries in Europe, the recent recession in the United States, the significant increase to debt in the United States compounded by continuing to give away more than can reasonably be collected, the slowing economy in China and other factors. It is impossible to forecast what this will mean to our expansion plans in South Africa, Brazil, Australia, Poland and Hungary. We feel that we minimize our risks through investment in different geographical areas.

Expected changes in the mix and relative cost of capital resources:

Since the middle of 2010, the Company has utilized high cost capital to finance its international growth. The Company hopes to eliminate the majority of this debt with new equity and further, to use this equity to complete its expansion plans over the next two years.

Other prospective sources for and uses of cash:

If the Company is unable to obtain the funding from its Offering, it will seek other sources of interim funding to maintain its current operations and complete the restaurants already underway.

If the above events do not occur or the Company is unable to develop its business model, substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

Revenue amounted to $1,476,649 in 2011 and $136,301 in 2010. Cash revenues were $493,167 and $980,247 in 2011 from the management and restaurant businesses, respectively, and $84,218 in 2010 from the management business. The majority of our cash revenues in 2011 for the management business was from a fee of $400,000 received in January 2011 for our services in facilitating the acquisition of HOA and TW and of $91,667 of the Company’s annual payment from HOA of $100,000, which is due in January each year while Mr. Pruitt serves on its board. In 2010 cash revenues were management fees from Investors LLC and Investors II. Non-cash revenues in 2011 and 2010 of $3,235 and $52,083, respectively were recognized from the receipt of securities for our services.

The fair value of the equity instruments for management fees received was determined based upon the stock prices as of the date we reached an agreement with the third party. The terms of the securities are not subject to adjustment after the measurement date. See Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for details.

Restaurant cost of sales

Restaurant cost of sales totaled $504,971, or 51.5% of restaurant net sales. We expect the percentage to decrease as we open more stores in 2012 as we expand our business in South Africa and other countries.

Restaurant operating expenses

Restaurant operating expenses totaled $598,225, or 61.0% of restaurant net sales. We expect the percentage of operating expenses to restaurant net sales to decline as we open more Hooters locations, however we have a limited history to be able to forecast a range.

General and Administrative Expense (“G&A”)

G&A amounted to $1,249,749 in 2011 and $935,110 in 2010. The more significant components of G&A are summarized as follows:

	2011		2010

Professional fees	$	104,016	$	106,594
Payroll and benefits		563,323		518,162
Consulting and investor relation fees		261,315		17,223
Travel and entertainment		84,767		42,950
Accounting and auditing		70,450		67,914
Director fees		-		42,500
Bad debt expense		750		24,907
Other G&A		165,128		114,860
	$	1,249,749	$	935,110

G&A costs are expected to increase in 2012 to $325-$350,000 per quarter, with the costs associated with the activities of the restaurant business continuing to grow. Revenue from the restaurants is expected to exceed this increase in expense.

Payroll and benefits increased $45,161 in 2011 from 2010 primarily from the addition of restaurant management personnel in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Consulting and investor relations fees increased $244,092 from 2011 to 2010 as the Company engaged experienced personnel to startup our European subsidiary and to increase the Company’s recognition in the investment arena. Non-cash fees for services were $74,573 and $25,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Travel and entertainment increased $41,817 as Company personnel, primarily the CEO, traveled to increase our company awareness and lockdown financing and partners for the restaurant locales.

There were no director fees in 2011. Effective December 31, 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to its outside directors for current and prior director fees. The stock was valued at $42,500 based on the closing price of the common stock on that date.

The Company recognized a bad debt in the amount of $750 in 2011 and $24,907 in 2010. The amount in 2010 was for prior management services of $24,000 and expense advances of $907 owed by Green St. Energy, Inc., a company for which the Company previously provided management services.

Asset Impairment

In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment of $250,000 for our equity interest in BreezePlay as a result of it not being able to raise sufficient capital to complete its business plan and substantially ceasing operation.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) consisted of the following at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

	2011			2010
Other income (expense):
Equity in earnings (losses) of investments	$	(76,113	)	$	58,337
Realized gains from sale of investments		94,353			106,035
Interest expense		(183,467	)		(140,016	)
Interest income		4,541			46,000
Miscellaneous income		476			-
Other than temporary decline in available-for-sale securities		(147,973	)		(40,386	)
	$	(308,183	)	$	29,970

Equity in Earnings of Investments

Equity in earnings of investments includes our share of earnings from investments in which we own at least 20% and are being accounted for using the equity method. This included losses from the Hoot Campbelltown and Hoot SA partnerships in 2011 of $66,857 and $9,256, respectively and income from the Hoot SA partnerships in 2010 of $58,337.

Realized Gains from Sale of Investments

Realized gains are recorded when investments are sold and include transactions in 2011 from a gain on sales of DineOut of $19,991 and a gain from our Hooters South Africa interests of $74,362 and in 2010 from a gain on sales of DineOut of $157,807, a loss on sales of Vought Defense Systems of $58,355 and a gain on sales of Healthsport of $6,583.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $43,451 in 2011 from 2010 primarily due to the addition in 2011 of a line of credit for $1,165,000 and convertible notes payable in the amount of $1,625,000, offset by the conversion of $686,500 of convertible notes payable from 2010.

Interest Income

Interest income in 2011 decreased $41,459 as 2011 includes earnings from Investors for one month, compared to 2010 which includes our earnings from Investors for the entire year.

Other than Temporary Decline in Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company determined that its investment in available-for-sale securities had an other than temporary decline in value and recorded a realized loss in the amount of $147,973 and $40,386 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Valuations were determined based on the quoted market price for the stock when it was determined the decline was not temporary and the decline was recorded. In 2011, the Company recorded an impairment of $147,973 primarily related to the Company’s investment in HiTech Stages ($124,573) and Efftec International ($22,500). In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment of $40,386 primarily related to the Company’s investment in Remodel Auction ($39,100).

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC has suggested companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies, which they defined as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition our most critical accounting policy is the valuation of our investments. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying this accounting policy has a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

Leases

Restaurant Operations lease certain properties under operating leases. Many of these lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods when failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty. We use a time period for straight-line rent expense calculation that equals or exceeds the time period used for depreciation. In addition, the rent commencement date of the lease term is the earlier of the date when they become legally obligated for the rent payments or the date when they take access to the grounds for build out. Accounting for leases involves significant management judgment.

Investments

We determine fair value to be the amount for which an investment could be exchanged in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Our evaluation process is intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of our available-for-sale investments. In summary, for individual securities classified as available-for-sale securities, an enterprise shall determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, the individual security shall be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be included in earnings (accounted for as a realized loss). The new cost basis shall not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Subsequent increases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities shall be included in other comprehensive income and subsequent decreases in fair value, if not an other-than-temporary impairment, also shall be included in other comprehensive income.

The first step in the analysis is to determine if the security is impaired. All of our available-for-sale securities were listed and we use the closing market price and other factors to determine the amount of impairment if any. The second step, if there is an impairment, is to determine if the impairment is other than temporary. To determine if a decline in the value of an equity security is other than temporary and that a write-down of the carrying value is required, we considered the following:

The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than the cost;

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment or the discontinuance of a segment of the business that may affect the future earnings potential; or

The intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Unless evidence exists to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment in equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a write-down to fair value accounted for as a realized loss should be recorded. Such loss should be recognized in the determination of net income of the period in which it occurs and the written down value of the investment in the issuer becomes the new cost basis of the investment.

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence and that, in general, are at least 20 percent owned are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed net earnings (loss), less distributions received. The Company also has equity investments in which it owns less than 20% which are stated at cost. An impairment loss would be recorded whenever a decline in the value of an equity investment or investment carried at cost is below its carrying amount and is determined to be other than temporary. In judging “other than temporary,” the Company considers the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying amount of the investment, the near-term and long-term operating and financial prospects of the investee, and the Company’s long-term intent of retaining the investment in the investee.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of a business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate their value may no longer be recoverable.

The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach, which is performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, there is a potential impairment and step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill to its implied fair value (i.e. fair value of the reporting unit less the fair value of the units’ assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets). If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the excess is required to be recorded as impairment.

At December 31, 2011, the Company performed an annual evaluation of its goodwill as required under ASC Topic 350. As a result of this evaluation, the Company determined that no goodwill impairment was necessary, as the current performance and future expectations support the carrying value of goodwill.

Franchise Cost

Intangible assets are recorded for the initial franchise fees for our restaurants. The Company amortizes these amounts over a 20 year periods, which is the life of the franchise agreement.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Effective August 1, 2010, the Company extended its office lease agreement for a period of one year at a monthly rental of $2,100, for its office located at11220 Elm Lane, Suite 103, Charlotte, NC 28277. Since August 1, 2011, the lease has continued at the same rate on a month-to-month basis.

The Company leases the land and building for our four restaurants in South Africa through our subsidiaries. The leases are for five year terms and include options to extend the terms. We lease our restaurant facilities under “triple net” leases that require us to pay minimum rent, real estate taxes, maintenance costs and insurance premiums and, in some instances, percentage rent based on sales in excess of specified amounts.

TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table presents a summary of our contractual operating lease obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2011:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Kiarabrite (Pty) Ltd, Dimaflo (Pty) Ltd, Tundraspex (Pty) Ltd, Civisign (Pty) Ltd, Dimalogix (Pty) Ltd and Chanticleer & Shaw Foods (Pty.) Ltd. (collectively referred to as the South Africa Operations), wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 45 percent and 66 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the South Africa Operations, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the audit report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011, and for the year then ended.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. has incurred substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the past several years, along with negative working capital. In addition, the Company has future plans that may require substantial financial obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash revenues to fund its current operations and fulfill its future commitments. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the valuation of the investments in portfolio companies and deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

revenue recognition

Restaurant Net Sales

We record revenue from restaurant sales at the time of sale, net of discounts. Sales revenues are presented net of sales and value added (VAT) taxes. Cost of sales primarily includes the cost of food, beverages, and merchandise and disposable paper and plastic goods used in preparing and selling our menu items, and excludes depreciation and amortization.

Management Fee Income

The Company receives revenue from management fees from both affiliated companies and non-affiliated companies. Our revenue recognition policy provides that revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria have been met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

Collectability is reasonably assured.

We may collect revenue in both cash and in the equity securities of the company to whom we are providing services. Typically when we are paid cash for services, it is based on a monthly fee and is recorded when earned. When we receive equity securities for our management services, we generally receive the securities in advance for our services to be earned over the life of the contract, generally one year. We value these securities and defer recognition of the revenue over the life of the management contract.

The fair value of the equity instruments received was determined based upon the stock prices as of the date we reached an agreement with the third party and is not subject to adjustment after the measurement date.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses on its receivable balances and the credit worthiness of its receivables on an ongoing basis and records related allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances are estimated based upon specific customer balances, where a risk of default has been identified, and also include a provision for non-customer specific defaults based upon historical experience. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. If circumstances related to specific customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables could also change.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, and consist primarily of restaurant food items and supply inventory.

OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases certain property under operating leases. Many of these lease agreements contain rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods when failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty. In addition, the rent commencement date of the lease term is the earlier of the date when we become legally obligated for the rent payments or the date when we take access to the property or the grounds for build out.

MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

Trading securities

The Company's investment in marketable equity securities are carried at fair value and are classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in the statement of operations as unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity securities. Gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of operations when realized, based on the disposition of specifically identified investments, using a first-in, first-out method.

Available-for-sale securities

The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities which are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Investments available for current operations are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current assets; investments held for long-term purposes are classified as non-current assets. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of operations when realized, determined based on the disposition of specifically identified investments, using a first-in, first-out method.

Investments identified by the Company as being potentially impaired are subject to further analysis to determine if the impairment is other than temporary. Other than temporary declines in market value from original costs are charged to investment and other income, net, in the period in which the loss occurs. In determining whether investment holdings are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers the nature, cause, severity and duration of the impairment.

OTHER INVESTMENTS

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence and that, in general, are at least 20 percent owned are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed net earnings (loss), less distributions received. The Company also has equity investments in which it owns less than 20% which are stated at cost. An impairment loss would be recorded whenever a decline in the value of an equity investment or cost investment is below its carrying amount and is determined to be other than temporary. In judging “other than temporary,” the Company considers the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying amount of the investment, the near-term and long-term operating and financial prospects of the investee, and the Company’s long-term intent of retaining the investment in the investee.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3

Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

We maintain policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. Our investment committee reviews and approves all investment valuations.

Our available-for-sale equity securities are all valued using Level 1 inputs or Level 2 inputs.

fair value of financial instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, convertible notes payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.

fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (generally five and seven years). The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

InTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Franchise Cost

Intangible assets are recorded for the initial franchise fees for our restaurants. The Company amortizes these amounts over a 20 year periods, which is the life of the franchise agreement.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had no accrued interest or penalties relating to any tax obligations. The Company currently has no federal or state examinations in progress, nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. The last three years of the Company's tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.

Stock-based Compensation

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. A wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans are included. The Company’s financial statements would include an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no options outstanding. See Note 11 regarding outstanding warrants.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company is required to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares outstanding. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Accordingly, no common stock equivalents are included in the earnings (loss) per share calculations and basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in common stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current earnings. Most of our foreign operations use their local currency as the functional currency.

Comprehensive Income

Standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. We are required to (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in financial statements, and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity section of the balance sheet for all periods presented.

concentration of credit risk

Cash is maintained at financial institutions, which at times, may exceed the FDIC insurance limit.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements at December 31, 2010 and for the periods then ended to conform to the December 31, 2011 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. At March 30, 2012, none of these pronouncements are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

ACQUISITION OF MAJORITY OWNED HOOTERS RESTAURANTS (Restated Note 17)

Effective October 1, 2011, the Company acquired majority ownership of a management company, a company that owns the HOA franchise rights for the territory of South Africa, and four Hooters restaurants in South Africa. Previously, the Company owned a minority interest in the restaurants and was not in control and these operations were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. New entities were formed for the operations and the Company’s ownership is as follows: KPL 80%, DFLO 52%, TPL 66%, CPL 60%, C&S 100% and DLOG 100%. The restaurant owned by DFLO in Durban opened in January 2010, the restaurant owned by TPL in Johannesburg opened in June 2010 and the restaurant owned by CPL in Cape Town opened in June 2011. The restaurant owned by DLOG opened in February 2012.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the consolidated statements of operations include the results of the South African operations beginning October 1, 2011. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values as determined by the Company’s management based on information currently available and on current assumptions as to future operations. A summary of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition follows:

	(Restated)
Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents	$	138,801
Property and equipment and intangible assets		1,985,799
Total assets excluding cash and cash equivalents	$	2,124,600
Liabilities assumed		953,917
Non-controlling interest		645,436
Prior investment of the Company		320,247
Purchase price (net assets acquired)	$	205,000
Cash paid	$	205,000

Liabilities assumed includes $593,928 at December 31, 2011 and $531,666 at September 30, 2011 in bank debt of the prior entities which the Company has agreed to repay without interest upon completion of its new financing. The $593,928 at December 31, 2011 is included in other liabilities.

Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as if the Company had acquired majority ownership of the South African Hooters restaurants on January 1, 2010 is as follows. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the business combination had been in effect on the dates indicated, or which may result in the future.

Chanticleer Investors LLC -The Company sold 1/2 of its investment in Investors LLC in May 2009, which reduced its ownership from 23% to 11.5%. Accordingly, in May 2009, the Company discontinued accounting for this investment using the equity method and began to account for the investment using the cost method. In December 2010, the Company sold an additional $75,000 of its investment at cost.

On April 18, 2006, the Company formed Investors LLC and sold units for $5,000,000. Investors LLC’s principal asset was a convertible note in the amount of $5,000,000 with Hooters of America, Inc. (“HOA”), collateralized by and convertible into 2% of Hooters common stock. The original note included interest at 6% and was due May 24, 2009. The note was extended until November 24, 2010 and included an increase in the interest rate to 8%.

The Company owned $1,150,000 (23%) of Investors LLC until May 29, 2009 when it sold 1/2 of its share for $575,000. Under the original arrangement, the Company received 2% of the 6% interest as a management fee ($25,000 quarterly) and 4% interest on its investment ($11,500 quarterly). Under the extended note and revised operating agreement, the Company receives a management fee of $6,625 quarterly and interest income of $11,500 quarterly.

On January 24, 2011, Investors LLC and its three partners combined to form HOA Holdings, LLC ("HOA LLC") and completed the acquisition of HOA and Texas Wings, Inc. ("TW"). Together HOA LLC has created an operating company with 161 company-owned locations across sixteen states, or nearly half of all domestic Hooters restaurants and over one-third of the locations worldwide.

Investors, LLC had a note receivable in the amount of $5,000,000 from HOA that was repaid at closing. Investors LLC then invested $3,550,000 in HOA LLC (approximately 3.1%) ($500,000 of which is the Company's share). One of the investors in Investors LLC that owned a $1,750,000 share is a direct investor in HOA LLC and will now carry its ownership in HOA LLC directly. The Company now owns approximately 14% of Investors LLC.

Based on the current status of this investment, the Company does not consider the investment to be impaired.

EE Investors, LLC -On January 26, 2006, we acquired an investment in EE Investors, LLC with cash in the amount of $250,000. We acquired 1,205 units (3.378%) in EE Investors, LLC, whose sole asset is 40% of Edison Nation, LLC (formerly Bouncing Brain Productions, LLC). Edison Nation was formed to provide equity capital for new inventions and help bring them to market. The initial business plan included developing the products and working with manufacturers and marketing organizations to sell the products. This has evolved into a less hands-on program which involves selling products with patents to other larger companies and retaining royalties. Edison Nation has now reached cash flow break-even, and in addition has been retained by a number of companies for which they do product searches to supplement its business. Edison Nation plans to repay the majority of its debt in 2012 and expects to subsequently begin making distributions to its owners. Based on the current status of this investment, the Company does not consider the investment to be impaired.

Chanticleer Investors II -The Company paid $16,598 in professional services to form this partnership. Chanticleer Advisors, LLC acts as the managing general partner and receives a management fee based on a percentage of profits.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following tables according to FASB ASC 820 pricing levels.

	Fair Value Measurement Using
			Quoted prices
			in active		Significant
			markets of		other		Significant
			identical		observable		Unobservable
	Recorded		assets		inputs		Inputs
	value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

December 31, 2011
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	318,353	$	316,853	$	1,500	$	-

December 31, 2010
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	352,500	$	101,500	$	251,000	$	-

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's available-for-sale equity securities were valued using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs as summarized above. Level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not yet active, or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

The Company does not have any investments that are measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments accounted for under the equity and cost methods. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

In 2010, the Company considered a cost basis investment to be impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $250,000 in the consolidated statement of operations. This impairment was determined using Level 3 inputs to determine the estimated fair value, which was determined to be less than the recorded amounts.

See Note 4 for further details of the Company's investments.

RESTATEMENT OF 2011 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

These consolidated financial statements restate certain items previously reported by the Company for the 2011 year and revise certain items previously reported by the Company in the notes to the consolidated financial statements due to the events described below.

Restated balances for 2011 Financial Information items have been identified with the notation “Restated” where appropriate and applicable.

Other than the revising of the previously filed consolidated financial statements relating to the restatement, these notes to the consolidated financial statements speak as of the filing date of the Company’s original Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on April 6, 2012, and these notes to the consolidated financial statements have not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. These notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in their historical context, except to the extent revised as a result of this restatement.

On September 7, 2012, the audit committee of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s management determined that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as originally filed in the Form 10-K could no longer be relied on. The Company determined that the Financial Statements of Kiarabrite (Pty) Ltd., Dimaflo (Pty) Ltd., Tundraspex (Pty) Ltd., Civisign (Pty) Ltd., Dimalogix (Pty) Ltd., and Chanticleer & Shaw Foods (Pty.) Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “South Africa Operations”) which are the South African management company and the four entities organized for the stores we operate in South Africa, and the company that owns the HOA franchise rights for the territory of South Africa, were not audited as the Company was led to believe. Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed to include the report of the independent registered public accounting firm responsible for performing the audit of our South Africa Operations. The following tables reflect the items which changed as a result of the restatement and includes the balances as previously reported, the adjustments and the restated balance.

On September 7, 2012, the Company’s South African Chief Financial Officer (“SA CFO”) resigned. It was determined that the SA CFO had committed certain illegal acts, fraud and certain misrepresentations of facts. Due to the SA CFO’s actions, certain taxes were not paid. In addition, the applicable tax forms were not filed during the proper periods. The Company has engaged tax experts to assist in the tax process. The Company also discovered approximately $42,109 of cash that was misappropriated by the SA CFO during the fourth quarter of 2011 (presented as “other receivable” on the Company’s combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2011), and approximately $128,000 in total for the period October 2011 through September 2012. As of November 23, 2012, approximately $40,000 has been recovered by the Company and payment plans are in place for the remainder.

The Company has engaged outside South African tax experts in September 2012 to assist with compliance with Value Added Tax (VAT), payroll taxes, and income taxes in South Africa. A voluntary disclosure agreement has been submitted and the Company is awaiting contact from the South African governmental agency.

In connection with the acquisition of assets as described in Note 3, the Company believes the purchase and sale with the seller was accomplished in accordance with the laws and regulations of the taxing authorities in South Africa. However, there can be no absolute assurance that the seller has fulfilled its tax and regulatory filing requirements, and whether or not the local authorities could seek to recover any unpaid taxes or other amounts from the Company, its shareholders or others. The Company is not aware of any known obligations for which the Company may be required to settle.

The following tables reflect the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows as of December 31, 2011, and for the year then ended of the consolidated amounts previously reported, adjustments reflected in this amended filing, and the restated amounts for 2011.

Item 9A:

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2011. Our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

In connection with the preparation of the its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2011, as a result of the existence of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the Company’s South African subsidiaries.

Since September 2012, the Company has made progress in improving its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company has taken, and are taking, the following actions to remediate the remaining material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed at that date: (i) appointed a new South African CFO; (ii) improve segregation of duties; and (iii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

The Company continues to strive to improve processes to enable them to provide complete and accurate public disclosure. Management believes they will not be able to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective until the material weaknesses have been fully remediated.

To address the material weaknesses listed above, management performed analyses and post-closing procedures designed to ensure the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These procedures included documentation and testing of processes, data validation procedures from the systems into the general ledger, testing of systems, validation of results, disclosure review, and other analytics. As a result, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2011.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with the United States' generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as set forth in its Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2011.
