The Company previously had limited operations and was considered a development stage company until July 2005. On April 25, 2005, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. On May 2, 2005, Tulvine Systems, Inc. merged with and changed its name to Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2013 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Certain amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2013, the Company had current assets of $3,670,833, current liabilities of $4,602,935, and a working capital deficit of $932,102. The Company incurred a loss of $1,444,777 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and had an unrealized loss from available-for-sale securities of $36,966 and foreign currency translation gains of $54,916, resulting in a comprehensive loss of $1,426,827.

The Company's corporate general and administrative expenses averaged approximately $675,000 per quarter in the first six months of 2013 and averaged approximately $650,000 per quarter during 2012. In March 2013, the Company closed its investment management business. Effective October 1, 2011, the Company acquired majority control of the restaurants in South Africa and began consolidating these operations. In August 2012, the Company opened a restaurant in Budapest, Hungary, and earns 80% of the profits with our operating partner earning 20%. The Company also earns 49% of the profits with our operating partner earning 51% in its Hooters restaurant which was opened in January 2012 in Campbelltown, Australia, a suburb of Sydney.

In addition, the Company has a note with a balance at June 30, 2013 of $232,194 owed to its bank which is due on August 10, 2013 and is currently being negotiated for an extension. In April 2013, the Company secured a $500,000 line of credit which is due in April 2014. As of June 30, 2013 the balance on the line of credit is $342,000.

The Company also has $2,750,000 of advances from investors and corresponding restricted cash as of June 30, 2013, which is earmarked for our purchase of the Hooters Nottingham (United Kingdom) purchase.On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with seven individual accredited investors, whereby the Company issued separate 6% Secured Subordinate Convertible Notes for a total of three million dollars ($3,000,000) in a private offering. The funding from the private offering is being used exclusively for the acquisition of the Nottingham, England Hooters restaurant location (complete details of the transaction are included in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2013). See Note 16, “Subsequent Events”, for further information.

The Company’s South African subsidiaries have bank overdraft and term facilities of $210,814. The Company plans to continue to use limited partnerships or other financing vehicles, if necessary, to fund its share of costs for additional Hooters restaurants.

On January 31, 2013, the Company settled outstanding liabilities of approximately $170,000 from a South African bank, previously presented in our consolidated balance sheets in “other liabilities.” Upon making a payment of approximately $99,000, the Company received a release from all other bank liabilities, resulting in a total gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $71,000, which is presented in our financials as other income.

The Company expects to meet its obligations in 2013 with some or all of the following:

There is no assurance that these events will occur or the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital. Therefore, 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.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

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. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the number of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants of 5,001,458 and 2,557,008, respectively, have not been included in the computation of diluted EPS since the effect would be antidilutive. Accordingly, no common stock equivalents are included in the loss per share calculations and basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 5, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassifed Out of Accumulated Other Income. The standard was intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components. The amendments in this update was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASC No. 2013-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. At August 9, 2013, none of these pronouncements are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

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.

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 2013 and expects to subsequently begin making distributions to its owners.

At June 30, 2013, the Company has 49% ownership of two restaurants in Australia, one of which opened in January 2012 and the second is under construction and expected to open late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2013. The operations in Australia will be accounted for using the equity method. The Company has also begun activity in Brazil and signed a binding letter of intent in August 2013 for the acquisition of the Hooters in Nottingham, England.

Financial information regarding the Company's segments is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Effective August 1, 2010, the Company extended its office lease agreement for its office for a term of one year with monthly lease payments of $2,100. Since August 1, 2011, the office lease continues at the same rate on a month-to-month basis.

On October 12, 2012, Francis Howard (“Howard”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Michael D. Pruitt, Eric S. Lederer, Michael Carroll, Paul I. Moskowitz, Keith Johnson (The “Individual Defendants”), Merriman Capital, Inc., Dawson James Securities, Inc. (The “Underwriter Defendants”), and Creason & Associates P.L.L.C. (The “Auditor Defendant”), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.  The class action lawsuit alleges violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against all Defendants, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against only the Underwriter Defendants, and violations of Section 15 against the Individual Defendants.  Howard seeks unspecified damages, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in this action, and such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper. On October 15th, 2012, the Honorable Judge James I. Cohn filed an Order setting the Calendar Call for the case for June 13th, 2013, and the Trial Date for the trial period commencing on June 17th, 2013.  On October 31st, 2012, the Company and the Individual Defendants retained Stanley Wakshlag at Kenny Nachwalter, P.A. to represent them in this litigation. Requests by the Underwriting Defendants for indemnification were denied.  On November 2nd, 2012, we filed a Joint Motion to Extend Deadline to Respond to Class Action Complaint, requesting that our responsive pleading deadline be delayed until after a lead Plaintiff is named.  That Motion was approved, and on December 12th, 2012, Howard filed a Motion to Appoint himself Lead Plaintiff and to Approve his selection of The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as his Counsel.  An Order appointing Francis Howard and the Rosen Law Firm as lead Plaintiff and lead Plaintiff’s Counsel was entered on January 4, 2013. Therein, Judge Cohn also reset Calendar Call for October 10, 2013; trial was reset for the two-week period commencing October 15, 2013. On February 19, 2013, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. On April 5, 2013, the Company, Individual Defendants, and the Auditor Defendant (separately) filed a Motion to Dismiss the action. Plaintiff filed an opposition to Chanticleer Defendants’ (and Auditor Defendants’) Motion to Dismiss on April 22, 2013.  On May 9, 2013, the Company and Individual Defendants filed a Reply Memorandum of Defendants Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., Michael D. Pruitt, Eric S. Lederer, Michael Carroll, Paul I Moskowitz, and Keith Johnson in support of their Motion to Dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint.  Judge Cohn has yet to make a ruling on the Motions.  On May 20, 2013, the Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without prejudice of Defendants Dawson James Securities, Inc. and Merrimal Capital, Inc. Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A). The Company has and will continue to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

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 R4,082,636.13 (approximately $442,189). The Company has and will continue to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On April 1, 2013, the Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking information regarding our South African entities’ previous accounting issues. The Company responded as required by the due date of April 30, 2013 and intends to otherwise comply as required.

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. As of June 30, 2013, $375,084 has been accrued and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with the acquisition of the business as described in Note 3 (whereby, on October 1, 2011, Rolalor (Pty.) Ltd., Almenta 177 (Pty.) Ltd. and Labyrinth Trading (Pty.) Ltd. 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, as well as whether the local authorities could seek to recover any unpaid taxes 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, the Company’s South African subsidiaries have not filed certain corporate income tax returns for previous years, which could potentially result in penalties upon filing these returns.

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

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

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

On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with seven individual accredited investors, whereby the Company issued separate 6% Secured Subordinate Convertible Notes for a total of three million dollars ($3,000,000) in a private offering. The funding from the private offering is being used exclusively for the acquisition of the Nottingham, England Hooters restaurant location (complete details of the transaction included in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2013). The funding from the private offering is being used exclusively for the acquisition of the Nottingham, England Hooters restaurant location (acquisition detailed below). The Notes have the following principal terms:

The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent with West End Wings Limited and Manchester Wings Limited (the “Seller”) for the purchase of the Nottingham, England Hooters restaurant location for a total purchase price of three million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($3,150,000).  The closing is contingent upon the completion of a full and accurate audit, and is expected to occur the earlier of the completion of the audit or October 31, 2013. With the signing of the Binding Letter of Intent, Chanticleer provided the Seller with a $200,000 deposit towards the purchase consideration. As part of this transaction, all franchise rights to the location will be transferred to the Company.

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.

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 $128,000 (net of repayments of approximately $57,000) and approximately $85,000 (net of repayments of approximately $43,000) of cash that was misappropriated by the SA CFO during the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (presented as “other receivable” on the Company’s combined balance sheets). As of June 30, 2013, approximately $57,000 has been recovered by the Company and payment plans are in place for the remainder.

Management’s Analysis of Business

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 430 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 of our capital in South Africa, Brazil, Hungary, Australia and Europe.

Accordingly, we operate in two business segments; Hooters franchise restaurants and our legacy investment management which we exited from on May 1 of this year and consulting services businesses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN

Historical information:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2013, the Company had current assets of $3,670,833, current liabilities of $4,602,935, and a working capital deficit of $932,102. The Company incurred a loss of $1,444,777 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and had an unrealized loss from available-for-sale securities of $36,966 and foreign currency translation gains of $54,916, resulting in a comprehensive loss of $1,426,827.

The Company's corporate general and administrative expenses averaged approximately $675,000 per quarter in the first six months of 2013 and averaged approximately $650,000 per quarter during 2012. The Company expects costs to increase as we expand our footprint internationally in 2013. In March 2013, the Company closed its investment management business, which we believe will save us approximately $50,000 per quarter starting fully in the third quarter of 2013. Effective October 1, 2011, the Company acquired majority control of the restaurants in South Africa and began consolidating these operations. In August 2012, the Company opened a restaurant in Budapest, Hungary, and shares 80% of the profits. The Company also shares 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 June 30, 2013 of $232,141 owed to its bank which is due on August 10, 2013 and is currently being renegotiated for an extension. In April 2013, the Company secured a $500,000 line of credit which is due in April 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the balance on the line of credit is $342,000. The Company also has $2,750,000 of advances from investors and corresponding restricted cash as of June 30, 2013, which is earmarked for our purchase of the Hooters Nottingham (United Kingdom) purchase.On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with seven individual accredited investors, whereby the Company issued separate 6% Secured Subordinate Convertible Notes for a total of three million dollars ($3,000,000) in a private offering. The funding from the private offering is being used exclusively for the acquisition of the Nottingham, England Hooters restaurant location (complete details of the transaction are included in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2013). The Company’s South African subsidiaries have bank overdraft and term facilities of $210,814. The Company plans to continue to use limited partnerships or other financing vehicles, if necessary, to fund its share of costs for additional Hooters restaurants.

On January 31, 2013, the Company settled outstanding liabilities of approximately $170,000 from a South African bank, previously presented in our consolidated balance sheets in “other liabilities”. Upon making a payment of approximately $99,000, the Company received a release from all other bank liabilities, resulting in a total gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $71,000, which is presented in our financials as other income.

The Company expects to meet its obligations in 2013 with some or all of the following:

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 has used short-term financing to meet the preliminary requirements of its planned expansion, principally in South Africa, Europe and Australia. If the Company is unable to obtain necessary additional funding, 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 2013, we expect to open or acquire one restaurant in each of the following countries or continents – Australia, Brazil, Europe and South Africa. The Company expects the total cash requirements for these restaurants to be approximately $5.0 million, of which approximately $700,000 has been paid as of June 30, 2013.

In addition, we expect general and administrative expenses to be approximately $2.6-$2.8 million for 2013.

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. The Company has recently secured additional convertible debt for the purchase of a Hooters restaurant in Nottingham, England, and may use convertible debt in the future.

Other prospective sources for and uses of cash:

If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, 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

The decline in revenue of approximately 16% is primarily attributable to a decline of approximately 16% in the local currency exchange rate from the prior period. Restaurant sales, net for our Budapest location amounted to $213,903 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and was not opened until August 2012.

Restaurant operating expenses amounted to $932,251, or 56.9% of restaurant net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $923,290, or 54.4% of restaurant net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. 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.

Restaurant pre-opening expenses

Restaurant pre-opening expenses amounted to $10,201 and $23,499 incurred for the opening of our next planned South African location and the opening of our location at the Emperor’s Palace Casino in Johannesburg, South Africa in February 2012, respectively.

G&A amounted to $621,070 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $610,754 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The more significant components of G&A are summarized as follows:

G&A costs are expected to range from $600-$700,000 per quarter for the remainder of 2013, 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.

Professional fees increased $70,017 as a result of the Company expanding it’s operations both domestically and internationally.

Payroll and benefits increased $42,477 from 2013 from 2012 primarily from the addition of restaurant management personnel in Hungary in the third quarter of 2012 and additional corporate staff in our head office.

Consulting and investor relations fees decreased $28,093 from 2013 to 2012 as the Company engaged experienced personnel in 2012 to startup our European subsidiary and Brazil operations and to increase the Company’s recognition in the investment arena. Non-cash fees for services were $1,929 and $9,406 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-cash amortization of warrant expense for services were $37,310 and $25,910 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $124,478 and $82,669, respectively. The restaurant segment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $123,393 and 80,334, respectively, and the management business amounted to $1,085 and $2,335, respectively.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and 2012:

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 partnership in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of $18,806 and $33,348, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $189,660 in 2013 from 2012, due to the payoff of primarily all our prior debt with the completion of our secondary raise in June 2012. Interest expense will increase during the remainder of 2013 as the Company has taken on new debt to finance expansion.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Loss from discontinued operations was $24,578 and $38,660 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in loss was the exiting of the management business during late in the first quarter of 2013, therefore a full quarter of expenses was not incurred during the second quarter of 2013.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

The decline in revenue of approximately 7% is primarily attributable to a decline of approximately 16% in the local currency exchange rate from the prior period, offset by an increase in local currency of approximately 9%. Restaurant sales, net for our Budapest location amounted to $419,988 in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and was not opened until August 2012.

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.

Restaurant pre-opening expenses

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Loss from discontinued operations was $15,111 and $100,523 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The primary reasons for the decrease in loss was management fee income earned of $61,793 for the six months ended was June 30, 2013 compared to $6,698 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the exiting of the management business during late in the first quarter of 2013, therefore a full quarter of expenses was not incurred during the second quarter of 2013.

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 June 30, 2013. Our management has determined that, as of June 30, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting

Management Responsibility for ICOFR. Management 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.

Management’s Evaluation of ICOFR. Management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in this framework, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in our Company’s South African subsidiaries.

In September 2012, the Company’s management became aware that the financial statements of the Company’s South African subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, had not been audited. On September 7, 2012, the Company’s chief financial officer of the South African subsidiaries resigned. The Company initiated an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the foregoing in October 2012, led by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee engaged independent legal counsel and a certified public accounting firm to consult the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation. Among other findings, the investigation discovered that the chief financial officer of the South African subsidiaries had misappropriated approximately $128,000 of cash from the entities between October 2011 and the date of his resignation. The Audit Committee determined the following material weaknesses existed in its South African subsidiaries, which enabled the foregoing events to occur: (i) insufficient financial and accounting personnel; (ii) failure to segregate duties within the financial and accounting functions; (iii) failure to adopt and implement written policies and procedures with respect to the financial and accounting functions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the investigation into the Company’s South African subsidiaries financial and accounting functions as set forth above, the Audit Committee made several recommendations to the Board to address the identified material weaknesses in Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company implemented the following changes to its internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting: (i) hired a new chief financial officer for its South African subsidiaries; (ii) hired an in-house general counsel; (iii) improved its segregation of duties; and (iv) adopted and implemented new written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, including, but not limited to, policies and procedures related to: (a) documentation and testing; (b) data validation from the Company’s systems into its general ledger; (c) testing of systems; (d) validation of results; (e) disclosure review; and (f) other analytics.
