NOTE 7:
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
 
The Company is organized into two segments as of September 30, 2011.
 
Management and consulting services ("Management")
The Company provides management and consulting services for small companies which are generally seeking to become publicly traded.  The Company also provides management and investment services for Investors LLC and Investors II.
 
Operation of Hooters restaurants ("Restaurants")
Hooters South Africa - On April 23, 2009, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary CHL through its 50% ownership of Chanticleer & Shaw Pty, Ltd. entered into a franchise agreement with HOA to open and operate Hooters restaurants in the Republic of South Africa.  The current plan calls for four restaurants in the first phase with three additional locations to be added later.  The first restaurant opened in December 2009 in Durban and commenced operations effective January 1, 2010.  A location in Johannesburg opened in June 2010 and the third location opened in Cape Town during June of 2011.  A fourth location at Emperor's Palace Casino in Johannesburg is expected to open in January 2012.
 
During September 2011, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership of Chanticleer & Shaw Pty, Ltd. and now owns all of the GP interest and the LP interest listed in Note 2.
 
Hooters Australia - We are partnering with the current Hooters franchisee in a joint venture.  The first Hooters restaurant under this joint venture (which will be the third Hooters restaurant to be opened in Australia) is expected to open in January 2012 in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney and we will own a 49% interest.
 
Financial information regarding the Company's segments is as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
