REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TMIX Pty. Ltd. TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd,
Hoot Parramatta Pty. Ltd., and Hoot Penrith Pty. Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of TMIX Pty. Ltd., TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd, Hoot Parramatta Pty. Ltd., and Hoot Penrith Pty. Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014, and the related combined statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined 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 audit 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 combined financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TMIX Pty. Ltd., TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd, Hoot Parramatta Pty. Ltd., and Hoot Penrith Pty. Ltd. as of June 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 |
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Combination
The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of TMIX Pty. Ltd. (the “Australian Entities”), TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd, Hoot Parramatta Pty. Ltd., Hoot Penrith Pty. Ltd (collectively the “Company”), all of which are under common control or ownership. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
Organization and Nature of Business
The Company consists of Australian companies, two of which, Hoot Parramatta Pty. Ltd. and Hoot Penrith Pty. Ltd., operate restaurants under franchise agreements with Hooters of America, Inc. (“HOA”). The two restaurants opened in suburbs of Sydney, Parramatta in September 2009, and Penrith in July 2011. The management companies, TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd. and TMIX Pty. Ltd., oversees the daily operations of the restaurants and handles all financial and accounting functions. The Company’s corporate office is located in Bella Vista, Australia, a suburb of Sydney.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include accounts receivable allowances, lives of intangible assets, income taxes, useful lives of property and equipment and contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in our consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is its local currency (Australian dollar). Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date and revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, or for the year then ended. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and changes to such are included in comprehensive income (loss).

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its combined financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under US GAAP, are excluded from net loss. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the difference between net income as reported and comprehensive income was a loss of $106,403.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s principal source of revenue is from customer dining transactions. Restaurant revenue is recognized when goods and services are provided, net of discounts and goods and service tax (GST).
Cash
The Company places its cash deposits with one of the largest Australian banks, which is highly rated by Moody’s credit rating service (a1 rating on the long-term rating scale). At June 30, 2014, all of the Company’s cash was held at one financial institution.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of food, beverages and merchandise, are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment (continued)
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations.
Franchise Fees
Intangible assets are recorded for the initial franchise fees for our restaurants. The Company amortizes these amounts over a 20 year period, which is the life of the franchise agreement.
Long-Lived Assets
Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of June 30, 2014, management believes no impairment of long-lived assets has occurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments are as follows:
Receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other current assets: the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturities of the instruments;
Long-term debt: the fair value of long-term debt approximate their carrying value because the effective interest rates reflect market conditions.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses which are included in other restaurant operating expenses in the accompanying combined statement of income, totaled $4,898 for the year ended June 30, 2014. Advertising expense primarily includes local advertising, most of the advertising is performed by in-house personnel through various social media outlets.

Royalty Fees
The Company pays royalties to HOA based on a percentage of gross sales reduced by certain allowable deductions. These royalties, which totaled $235,780, are reflected in the accompanying combined statement of operations.
Occupancy and Related Expense
Occupancy and related expenses include rent, real estate taxes, insurance and utility costs. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the related lease agreements as prescribed by ASC Topic 840.
Income Taxes
The Company is an Australian limited liability company. During the year ended June 30, 2014, $53,136 of Australian income taxes were accrued but not paid. 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 the enactment. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets.
Goods and Service Tax (“GST”)
The Company currently records GST on all requisite revenue and purchase transactions. This GST includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, as well as a buyer and vendor.

Note 7 - Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the Australian statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:
Australia Statutory Tax Rate | 30.0 | % | ||
Permanent Difference | 2.0 | % | ||
Income tax provision (benefit) | 32.0 | % |
The Company evaluated its tax positions for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The methodology of the evaluation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-then-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken and or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits”. A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying these provisions. As of June 30, 2014, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year. The Company files tax returns in Australia and is subject to examination by tax authorities beginning with the year ended June 31, 2012. Currently there are no entities being audited by the tax authorities.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated (if applicable) and would be classified as “interest expense in the combined statements of operation. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “general and administrative expenses”. No interest and penalties were recorded during the year ended June 30, 2014.

Other Liabilities
In connection with the acquisition of assets as described in Note 10, the Company believes the purchase and sale with the seller was accomplished in accordance with the laws and regulations of the taxing authorities in Australia. 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.

Note 9 - Pending Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and assertions in the ordinary course of business. Legal matters are inherently unpredictable and the Company's assessments may change based on future unknown or unexpected events.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events
On July 3, 2014, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chanticleer”), filed a Form 8-K to report its acquisition of a sixty percent (60%) ownership interest in Hoot Parramatta Pty Ltd., Hoot Australia Pty Ltd., Hoot Penrith Pty Ltd., and TMIX Management Australia Pty. Ltd. (collectively, the “Australian Entities”), which own, operate, and manage Hooters restaurant locations and gaming operations in Australia.

Ltd., and issued two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) warrants to purchase shares of Chanticleer’s Common Stock.
