The Company operates on a calendar year-end. The accounts of two subsidiaries, Just Fresh and Hooters Nottingham (“WEW”), are consolidated based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to each December 31. No events occurred related to the difference between the Company’s reporting calendar quarter end and the Company’s two subsidiaries quarter ends that materially affected the company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. GENERAL The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015 and amended on April 30, 2015. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2015, our cash balance was $1.8 million and working capital was a deficit of $3.2 million (excluding non-cash derivative liabilities and deferred rent). Cash and working capital as of September improved by $1.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as compared with December 31, 2014. The level of additional cash needed to fund operations and our ability to conduct business for the next twelve months will be influenced primarily by the following factors: ● the pace of growth in our restaurant businesses and related investments in opening new stores; ● the level of investment in acquisition of new restaurant businesses and entering new markets; ● our ability to manage our operating expenses and maintain gross margins as we grow: ● our ability to access the capital and debt markets; ● popularity of and demand for our fast casual dining concepts; and ● general economic conditions and changes in consumer discretionary income. We have typically funded our operating costs, acquisition activities, working capital investments and capital expenditures with proceeds from the issuances of our common stock and other financing arrangements, including convertible debt, lines of credit, notes payable and capital leases. Our operating plans for the next twelve months contemplate moderate organic growth, opening 3-4 new stores within our current markets and restaurant concepts. During the first nine months of 2015: ● During the first quarter of 2015, we completed a rights offering raising net proceeds of approximately $7.1 million and issued $2.2 million in convertible debt to fund the acquisition of BGR: The Burger Joint and for general corporate purposes. ● During the second quarter of 2015, we completed an equity transaction raising net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million to complete the acquisition of BT’s Burger Joints and for general corporate purposes. ● During the third quarter of 2015, we completed a rights offering raising net proceeds of approximately $6.0 million to fund the acquisition of Little Big Burger, investments in Australia and general corporate purposes. As we execute our growth plans throughout the balance of 2015 and 2016, we intend to carefully monitor the impact of growth on our working capital needs and cash balances relative to the availability of cost-effective debt and equity financing. We believe the capital resources available to us will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations and to support our operating plans. We may raise additional capital from the issuance of new debt and equity to continue to execute our growth plans, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. In the event that such capital is not available, we may have to scale back or freeze our organic growth plans, reduce general and administrative expenses and/or curtail future acquisition plans to manage our liquidity and capital resources.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Company is now engaged in franchising operations as a result of its acquisition of BGR: The Burger Joint (“BGR”) in March 2015. Accordingly, the Company’s policy regarding revenue recognition has been expanded to address revenue recognition for franchise operations. 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, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, valuing options and warrants using the Binomial Lattice and Black Scholes models, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, depreciation and uncollectible accounts and reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been satisfied: ● 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. Restaurant Net Sales and Food and Beverage Costs The Company records revenue from restaurant sales at the time of sale, net of discounts, coupons, employee meals, and complimentary meals and gift cards. Sales, value added tax (“VAT”) and goods and services tax (“GST”) collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within sales in our consolidated statements of operations. Restaurant 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 exclude depreciation and amortization. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned. Management Fee Income The Company receives revenue from management fees from certain non-affiliated companies, including Hooters of America. Gaming Income The Company receives revenue from operating a gaming facility adjacent to its Hooters restaurant in Jantzen Beach, Oregon. The Company also previously received gaming revenue from gaming machines located in Sydney, Australia. Revenue from gaming is recognized as earned from gaming activities, net of taxes and other government fees. Franchise Income The Company accounts for initial franchisee fees in accordance with FASB ASC 952, Franchisors. The Company grants franchises to operators in exchange for initial franchise license fees and continuing royalty payments. Franchise license fees are deferred when received and recognized as revenue when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise or license agreement, which is generally upon the opening of a store. Continuing fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchisee and licensee sales are recognized on the accrual basis as those sales occur. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS For business combinations, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest are recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquire, that excess in earnings was recognized as a gain attributable to the Company. AMORTIZATION OF DEBT DISCOUNT The Company has issued various debt with warrants and conversion features for which total proceeds were allocated to individual instruments based on the relative fair value of the each instrument at the time of issuance. The value of the debt was recorded as discount on debt and amortized over the term of the respective debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 amortization of debt discount was $1,356,365 and $930,392, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Assets and liabilities denominated in local currency are translated to US dollars using the exchange rates as in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements from functional currency into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current earnings. The Company has determined that local currency is the functional currency for each of its foreign operations. RESTAURANT PRE-OPENING AND CLOSING EXPENSES Restaurant pre-opening and closing expenses are non-capital expenditures, and are expensed as incurred. Restaurant pre-opening expenses consist of the costs of hiring and training the initial hourly work force for each new restaurant, travel, the cost of food and supplies used in training, grand opening promotional costs, the cost of the initial stocking of operating supplies and other direct costs related to the opening of a restaurant, including rent during the construction and in-restaurant training period. Restaurant closing expenses consists of the costs related to the closing of a restaurant location and include write-off of property and equipment, lease termination costs and other costs directly related to the closure. Pre-opening and closing expenses are expensed as incurred. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The Company is required to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all dilutive shares outstanding. The following table summarizes the number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants, convertible notes payable and convertible interest as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share since the effect would be antidilutive. September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Warrants 9,556,304 8,965,048 Convertible notes payable 3,446,003 1,916,559 Convertible interest 53,405 88,649 Total 13,055,712 10,970,256 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains its cash with major financial institutions. Cash held in U.S. bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. No similar insurance or guarantee exists for cash held in Australia, South Africa, Hungary or United Kingdom bank accounts. There was approximately $60,000 and $125,000 aggregate uninsured cash balances at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred from September 30, 2015 through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out (“LIFO”). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	3. ACQUISITIONS During the first nine months of 2105, the Company acquired three businesses to complement and expand its current operations in the better burger fast casual restaurant category. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company acquired strategic opportunities to expand its scale and presence in the better burger category. Acquisition of BGR: The Burger Joint The Company completed the acquisition of BGR: The Burger Joint effective March 15, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company allocated the purchase price as of the date of acquisition based on appraisals and estimated the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In consideration of the purchased assets, the Company paid a purchase price consisting of $4,000,000 in cash, 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.0 million, and a contractual working capital adjustment of $276,429. Acquisition of BT’s Burger Joint On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition with BT’s Burgerjoint Management, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of North Carolina (“BT’s”), including the ownership interests of four operating restaurant subsidiaries engaged in the fast casual hamburger restaurant business under the name “BT’s Burger Joint.” In consideration of the purchased assets, the Company paid a purchase price consisting of $1,400,000 in cash and 424,080 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.0 million. Acquisition of Little Big Burger On September 30, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of various entities operating eight Little Big Burger restaurants in the State of Oregon. In consideration of the purchased assets, the Company paid a purchase price consisting of $3,600,000 in cash and 1,874,063 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.1 million. In connection with each acquisition, the Company determined the purchase price allocation in consideration of all identifiable intangibles. Based on our evaluation, there were no marketing related assets, customer related intangibles or contract based arrangements for which the purchase price would be required to be allocated. The value of any trademark/tradename was calculated using a relief of royalty method considering future franchise opportunities. With respect to customer related intangibles, the Company did not acquire any customer lists or enter into any customer contractual arrangements nor did the Company enter into any licensing or royalty arrangements requiring a further allocation of the purchase price. The premium paid for the businesses represents the economic value which is not captured by other assets such as the reputation of the businesses, the value of its human capital, its future growth potential and its professional management. The acquisition of these businesses will help the Company expand its domestic operations and presence in the Fast Casual burger market. The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and, accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of these operations from the dates of acquisition. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values based on information currently available and based on certain assumptions as to future operations. The allocation of purchase price presented below is based on preliminary analyses which are still continuing and may be subject to change as such analyses are finalized in future periods: 2015 Acquisitions BGR: The Burger Joint BT’s Burger Joint Little Big Burger Total Consideration paid: Common stock $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,848 $ 2,061,469 $ 4,062,317 Cash 4,276,429 1,400,000 3,600,000 9,276,429 Total consideration paid 5,276,429 2,400,848 5,661,469 13,338,746 Property and equipment 2,164,023 1,511,270 1,710,849 5,386,141 Goodwill 663,037 939,281 2,417,653 4,019,972 Trademark/trade name/franchise fee 2,750,000 - 1,550,000 4,300,000 Inventory, deposits ands other assets 296,104 103,451 77,014 476,569 Total assets acquired, less cash 5,873,164 2,554,002 5,755,516 14,182,682 Liabilities assumed (607,735 ) (161,154 ) (268,557 ) (1,037,446 ) Common stock and warrants issued (1,000,000 ) (1,000,848 ) (2,061,469 ) (4,062,317 ) Cash paid (4,276,429 ) (1,400,000 ) (3,600,000 ) (9,276,429 ) Cash acquired $ 11,000 $ 8,000 $ 174,511 $ 193,511 The allocation of purchase price presented for the Company’s 2014 acquisitions: 2014 Acquisitions Hooters Hooters Australia The Pacific NW Spoon April 1, 2014 July 1, 2014 Burger Co.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $2.50 per share for a period of up to 5 years from the note’s original issuance date. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants is $670,300 and $202,358, respectively. The resulting debt discount is being amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The embedded conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, with its carrying value marked to market at each balance sheet date. $425,000 of the $1,000,000 note has been converted into common stock during the first nine months of 2015. In January 2015, the Company also issued a convertible promissory note for a total of $150,000. The note accrues interest at 8% per annum until the date the notes are converted. The notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at 85% of the average of the lowest three closing trading prices over ten days prior the conversion date. The conversion price is subject to a floor of $1.00 per share and a ceiling of $2.00. If not converted, the note matures three years from the issuance date. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock, exercisable at $2.50 per share for a period of up to 5 years from the note’s original issuance date. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants is $108,600 and $30,314, respectively. The resulting debt discount is being amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The embedded conversion feature is accounted for as a derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, with its carrying value marked to market at each balance sheet date. In January 2015, a convertible debt holder converted $500,000 principal plus accrued interest into 373,333 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, another convertible debt holder converted $250,000 principal plus accrued interest into 168,713 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the conversions, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of convertible debt, related accrued interest, penalties and derivative liabilities totaling $125,089 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. In March 2015, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $1,000,000, which was subsequently converted to common stock in June 2015. The note accrued interest at 9% per annum until the date the note was converted. The note was convertible into the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share. If not converted, the note matured two years from the issuance date. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 320,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $2.50 per share for a period of up to 5 years from the note’s original issuance date. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants on the date of issuance was $455,008 and $315,008, respectively. The resulting debt discount was being amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The embedded conversion feature is accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During June 2015, this $1,000,000 million note was converted into 500,000 shares of common stock at the $2.00 per share contractual conversion price. On the date of conversion, $643,371 of unamortized debt discount was accelerated and recognized as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature and the warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which approximates the Binomial Lattice model. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. The expected stock price volatility was determined by the historical volatilities for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. The risk free interest rate was obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The contractual terms of the agreement does not provide for and the Company does not expect to declare dividends in the near future.

Commitments and Contingencies	13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On March 26, 2013, our South African operations received Notice of Motion filed in the Kwazulu-Natal High Court, Durban, Republic of South Africa, filed against Rolalor (PTY) LTD (“Rolalor”) and Labyrinth Trading 18 (PTY) LTD (“Labyrinth”) by Jennifer Catherine Mary Shaw (“Shaw”). Rolalor and Labyrinth were the original entities formed to operate the Johannesburg and Durban locations, respectively. On September 9, 2011, the assets and the then-disclosed liabilities of these entities were transferred to Tundraspex (PTY) LTD (“Tundraspex”) and Dimaflo (PTY) LTD (“Dimaflo”), respectively. The current entities, Tundraspex and Dimaflo are not parties in the lawsuit. Shaw is requesting that the Respondents, Rolalor and Labyrinth, be wound up in satisfaction of an alleged debt owed in the total amount of R4,082,636 (approximately $480,000). The two Notices were defended and argued in the High Court of South Africa (Durban) on January 31, 2014. Madam Justice Steryi dismissed the action with costs on May 5, 2014. Ms. Shaw has appealed this decision, and a court date has been set for February 1, 2016. In connection with our 2011 acquisitions of the South African entities (whereby, on October 1, 2011, Rolalor, Alimenta 177(Pty.) Ltd. and Labyrinth transferred their respective net assets to the newly formed entities controlled by the Company), 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 as to whether the business acquired continues to have any outstanding tax and regulatory filing requirements, (i.e. not filed certain corporate tax returns for previous years) as well as whether the local authorities could seek to recover any unpaid taxes, interest, penalties, or other amounts due from the Company, its shareholders or others. The Company is not aware of any existing obligations that remain outstanding for which the Company may be required to settle. In connection with acquiring the net assets of the business, the Company may be entitled to be reimbursed by the seller for any pre-acquisition obligations of the business that may arise post-acquisition. In addition to the matters disclosed above, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These actions, when ultimately concluded and settled, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company.

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) September 30, 2015 Assets: Available-for-sale securities $ 35,362 $ 35,362 $ - $ - Liabilities: Embedded conversion feature $ 1,150,300 $ - $ - $ 1,150,300 Warrants $ 168,361 $ 168,361 December 31, 2014 Assets: Available-for-sale securities $ 35,362 $ 35,362 $ - $ - Liabilities: Embedded conversion feature $ 1,610,900 $ - $ - $ 1,610,900 Warrants $ 334,300 $ - $ - $ 334,300 At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s available-for-sale equity securities were valued using Level 1 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 derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical quoted market prices for the Company’s common stock, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. 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.

Australia Administration Transactions	15. AUSTRALIA ADMINISTRATION TRANSACTIONS On July 14, 2015, voluntary administrators were appointed to review the affairs and assess the financial condition of the Hooters Australia stores. The initiation of voluntary administration followed the request of the Company because the Company believed its operating partner had been mismanaging the business. The Company believed that the Administration process would be the most effective means to objectively evaluate the state of the business and enhance the Company’s position and ability to restore the operational and financial performance of the Hooters Australia stores. From July 14, 2015 through the end of September, the Hooters Australia stores operated under the management of administrators which were appointed by the directors of the Australia entities to facilitate the Administration process. In August, 2015, the Company entered into definitive agreements to invest additional consideration into the Australia business to increase its ownership in the Australia Hooters stores from 60% to 80% and to obtain the assets of those stores free of any prior liabilities or liens. In addition, the Company agreed to purchase the Margaritaville property in Australia which it did not previously control. The Company and a new local partner, PCS Investments, Pty (“PCS”) closed on the purchase of the five Hooters Australia stores in early October 2015, with the Company contributing $1.0 million in additional capital for 80% ownership and PCS investing $0.3 million for 20% ownership in the five Hooters stores. The Company did not complete the purchase the Margaritaville site as the administrator was unable to provide an acceptable lease transfer for the property. Effective early October, the Company resume management and operating control for the Hooters stores. During the Administration period from July 14, 2015 through early October, 2015, the Company’s control was temporarily restricted and management did not recognize revenue or expenses related to the operation of the stores during this brief period. Effective with the resumption of control in early October, 2015, the Company resume normal operations and recognition of revenue. In connection with the Administration process, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets for impairment and evaluated the carrying value of all other assets and liabilities related to the Australia stores to their net realizable value. As a result of that analysis, management concluded that the goodwill balance had been impaired and that certain other balances were no longer valid or realizable as a consequence of the Administration process. As a result, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $4.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Significant Accounting Polici22

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	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, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, valuing options and warrants using the Binomial Lattice and Black Scholes models, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, depreciation and uncollectible accounts and reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been satisfied: ● 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. Restaurant Net Sales and Food and Beverage Costs The Company records revenue from restaurant sales at the time of sale, net of discounts, coupons, employee meals, and complimentary meals and gift cards. Sales, value added tax (“VAT”) and goods and services tax (“GST”) collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within sales in our consolidated statements of operations. Restaurant 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 exclude depreciation and amortization. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned. Management Fee Income The Company receives revenue from management fees from certain non-affiliated companies, including Hooters of America. Gaming Income The Company receives revenue from operating a gaming facility adjacent to its Hooters restaurant in Jantzen Beach, Oregon. The Company also previously received gaming revenue from gaming machines located in Sydney, Australia. Revenue from gaming is recognized as earned from gaming activities, net of taxes and other government fees. Franchise Income The Company accounts for initial franchisee fees in accordance with FASB ASC 952, Franchisors. The Company grants franchises to operators in exchange for initial franchise license fees and continuing royalty payments. Franchise license fees are deferred when received and recognized as revenue when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise or license agreement, which is generally upon the opening of a store. Continuing fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchisee and licensee sales are recognized on the accrual basis as those sales occur.
Business Combinations	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS For business combinations, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest are recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquire, that excess in earnings was recognized as a gain attributable to the Company.
Amortization of Debt Discount	AMORTIZATION OF DEBT DISCOUNT The Company has issued various debt with warrants and conversion features for which total proceeds were allocated to individual instruments based on the relative fair value of the each instrument at the time of issuance. The value of the debt was recorded as discount on debt and amortized over the term of the respective debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 amortization of debt discount was $1,356,365 and $930,392, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Assets and liabilities denominated in local currency are translated to US dollars using the exchange rates as in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements from functional currency into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current earnings. The Company has determined that local currency is the functional currency for each of its foreign operations.
Restaurant Pre-opening and Closing Expenses	RESTAURANT PRE-OPENING AND CLOSING EXPENSES Restaurant pre-opening and closing expenses are non-capital expenditures, and are expensed as incurred. Restaurant pre-opening expenses consist of the costs of hiring and training the initial hourly work force for each new restaurant, travel, the cost of food and supplies used in training, grand opening promotional costs, the cost of the initial stocking of operating supplies and other direct costs related to the opening of a restaurant, including rent during the construction and in-restaurant training period. Restaurant closing expenses consists of the costs related to the closing of a restaurant location and include write-off of property and equipment, lease termination costs and other costs directly related to the closure. Pre-opening and closing expenses are expensed as incurred.
Loss Per Common Share	LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The Company is required to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all dilutive shares outstanding. The following table summarizes the number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants, convertible notes payable and convertible interest as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share since the effect would be antidilutive.

Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred from September 30, 2015 through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications	RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out (“LIFO”). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

[1]	On April 11, 2013, the Company and Paragon Commercial Bank (“Paragon”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provided for a $500,000 revolving credit facility with a one-year term from the closing date. The note payable originally matured on August 10, 2013 and on November 4, 2013 the note was extended to October 10, 2018 with monthly principal and interest payments of $4,406. The credit facility expired on October 10, 2015. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear monthly interest at the greater of: (i) floor rate of 5.00% or (ii) the Wall Street Journal’s prime plus rate (3.25% as of June 30, 2015) plus 1.00%. Any borrowings are secured by a lien on all of the Company’s assets. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Mike Pruitt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
[2]	Note with Paragon, due on June 10, 2019. The note bears interest at a 5% annual rate, with principal and interest monthly payments of $11,532 starting in June 2015 until the maturity date.
[3]	On December 23, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an outside company for $150,000, originally due on February 23, 2014. Interest is compounded monthly at a rate of 1%. As of February 23, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with the terms of this note due to non-payment of principal and interest. On March 21, 2014 and August 20, 2014, the Company paid the note holder $25,000 each of principal and accrued interest. In March 2015, the Company repaid the loan in full.
[4]	On June 20, 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an outside company for $100,000, originally due on July 11, 2014. In March 2015, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to repay the loan, accrued interest and penalties in full. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $45,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the carrying value of the outstanding debt and accrued interest.
[5]	In April 2014, our South African subsidiary entered into a mortgage note with a South African bank for the purchase of the building in Port Elizabeth for our Hooters location. The 10-year note was originally issued in the amount of $330,220 with an annual interest rate of 2.6% above the South African prime rate (prime currently 9.25%). Monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $4,600 commenced in August, 2014. The mortgage note is personally guaranteed by our CEO and South African COO and secured by the assets of the Port Elizabeth building.
[6]	On July 1, 2014, pursuant to Purchase Agreements executed on June 30, 2014, the Company completed the 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. The ownership interest in the Australian Entities was purchased from the respective entities in exchange for the Company agreeing to assume a five million dollar ($5,000,000) debt bearing interest at 12% annually and issuing two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Originally principal repayments were as follows: $2,000,000 on December 31, 2014, $2,000,000 on June 30, 2015, and $1,000,000 on December 31, 2015. On October 15, 2014, principal repayments were restructured whereby $200,000 was due on December 31, 2014, $50,000 is payable each month from January 2015 through December 2015, $2,000,000 is payable January 31, 2016, $1,200,000 is payable on July 31, 2016 and the remaining $1,000,000 is due by January 31, 2017. The Company and the note holder are currently in discussion to renegotiate the terms of the above payments and other terms of the agreement. The note holder has not demanded the above payments (as of December 31, 2014 through currently) nor will they unless the negotiations terminate. The Company has paid the agreed upon monthly interest payments in 2015 and is currently negotiating a change in payment terms.
[7]	The Company’s South African subsidiary has local bank financing in the form of term and overdraft facilities with $192,428 and $151,868 outstanding as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.
