3. ACQUISITION OF MAJORITY OWNED HOOTERS RESTAURANTS

 

Effective October 1, 2011, the Company acquired majority ownership of a management company, a company that owns the HOA franchise rights for the territory of South Africa, and four Hooters restaurants in South Africa. Previously, the Company owned 50% of the restaurants but was not in control and these operations were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. New entities were formed for the operations and the Company’s ownership at September 30, 2012, after the buyout of the Hoot partnerships is as follows: KPL 80%, DFLO 82%, TPL 88%, CPL 90% and DLOG 97%. The restaurant owned by DFLO in Durban opened in January 2010, the restaurant owned by TPL in Johannesburg opened in June 2010, the restaurant owned by CPL in Cape Town opened in June 2011and the restaurant owned by DLOG opened in February 2012.

  

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

 

Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents   $ 138,801  
Property and equipment and intangible assets     1,985,799  
Total assets excluding cash and cash equivalents   $ 2,124,600
