NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
1.
 
Statement of Management
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included.
 
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carrols Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Carrols” or the “Company”). All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.
 
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 contained in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2001 balance sheet data is derived from these audited financial statements.
