BRAZIL FAST FOOD CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(in Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)
NOTE 1 — FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Brazil Fast Food Corp. and its subsidiaries (together referred as “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Unless otherwise specified, all references in these financial statements to (i ) “Reais” or “R$” are to the Brazilian Real (singular), or to Brazilian Reais (plural), the legal currency of Brazil, and (ii ) “U.S. Dollars” or “$” are to United States dollars.
     The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
     The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, included in this report, are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, such consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.
     The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto. Management reviews its estimates periodically, including those related to depreciation, contingencies, income taxes and allowance for doubtful accounts. While the Company uses its best estimates and judgments, actual results could differ from those estimates as further confirming events occur.
NOTE 2 — BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
     Brazil Fast Food Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 16, 1992.
     On December 2006, the Company established a holding company in Brazil called BFFC do Brasil Participações Ltda. (“BFFC do Brasil”, formerly 22N Participações Ltda.), to consolidate all its business in the country and allow the Company to pursue its multi-brand program, as discussed below:
BOB’S TRADEMARK
     During 1996, the Company acquired 100.0% of the capital of Venbo Comercio de Alimentos Ltda. (“Venbo”), a Brazilian limited liability company which conducts business under the trade name “Bob’s”, and owns and operates, both directly and through franchisees, a chain of hamburger fast food restaurants in Brazil.

KFC TRADEMARK
     During the first quarter of 2007, the Company reached an agreement with Yum! Brands, owner of the KFC brand. By this agreement, BFFC do Brasil, through its subsidiary CFK Comércio de Alimentos Ltda. (“CFK”, formerly Clematis Indústria e Comércio de Alimentos e Participações Ltda.), started to conduct the operations of four directly owned and operated KFC restaurants in the city of Rio de Janeiro as a Yum! Brands franchisee, and took over the management, development and expansion of the KFC chain in Brazil. CFK started its activities on April 1, 2007, and accordingly, the results of its operations are included in this report since that date.

PIZZA HUT TRADEMARK
     During 2008, the Company reached an agreement with Restaurants Connection International Inc (“RCI”) to acquire, through its wholly-owned holding subsidiary, BFFC do Brasil, 60% of Internacional Restaurantes do Brasil (“IRB”), which operates Pizza Hut restaurants in the city of São Paulo as a Yum! Brands franchisee. The remaining 40% of IRB is held by another Brazilian company of which IRB’s current CEO is the main stockholder.
     IRB also operates a coffee concept brand called “In Bocca al Lupo Café”, which has four stores in the city of São Paulo.
     The results of IRB’s operations have being included in the consolidated financial statements since December, 2008.
DOGGIS TRADEMARK
     During October 2008, the Company reached an agreement with G.E.D. Sociedad Anonima (“GED”), one of the fast food leaders in Chile, where it has approximately 150 stores.
     By this agreement, BFFC do Brasil would establish a Master Franchise to manage, develop and expand the Doggis hot-dog chain in Brazil through own-operated restaurants and franchisees and GED would establish a Master Franchise to manage, develop and expand the Bob’s hamburger chain in Chile through own-operated restaurants and franchisees.
     The Master Franchise established in Brazil was named DGS Comercio de Alimento S.A. (“DGS”) and the Master Franchise established in Chile was named BBS S.A. (“BBS”). BFFC do Brasil has 20% of BBS and GED has 20% of DGS.
FCK (former SUPRILOG)
     During the second quarter of 2011, the Company set up a new company, called FCK — Franquias e Participações Ltda., via the capital contribution of the equity interest it held in SUPRILOG. FCK will operate the franchise system of KFC in Brazil.
     The previous operation of Suprilog Logística Ltda. (warehousing of equipment and spare parts as well as maintenance services for the Company’s own-operated restaurants) is now being conducted by Venbo.
     As of June 30, 2011, FCK had not initiated its new operation.

NOTE 5 — SALE OF ASSETS
     During the third quarter of 2010 the Company entered into an agreement to sell all its eight properties to Bigburger Ltda., and CCC Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda. entities controlled by José Ricardo Bomeny and Rômulo B. Fonseca, respectively, two of the Company’s major shareholders. Three own-operated stores and five stores operated by franchisees, all under the Bob’s brand, had their business premises sold. The sale transaction only included the buildings and improvements made to them and did not include either the operating assets or the operation of the stores. Therefore, after the sale of the properties, the Company will continue to operate its stores as usual, as will the franchisees.
     This transaction was conducted at the estimated fair value and will result in sale proceeds of R$13.5 million from assets with a book value of R$6.4 million. Management prepared the fair value estimates for these asset sales and in doing so considered valuations provided by real estate consultants.
     By December 31, 2010, much of the transaction had already been concluded (seven of the eight properties sold), for which reason the company accounted for a net gain of R$5.4 million (R$3.6 million, net of income tax) in the operating results for the twelve-month period ended on that date. Some legal issues have held up the sale of the one remaining property, though this is expected to be concluded in the second semester of 2011, bringing expected additional gains to be accounted for of approximately R$1.6 million (R$1.1 million, net of income tax). The portion of assets which had not been sold by June 30, 2011 were reclassified to the Properties held for sale account (part of “Other receivables and other assets” — see note 4) at their net cost value (R$1.1 million).
     The terms of sale included a downpayment of approximately 20% of the total amount, with the balance to be paid in 24 monthly installments. The buyers also accepted certain conditions to protect the Company’s long-term interests, including the maintenance of existing rental agreements and loan guarantees. All payments due until June 30, 2011 (total amount received was R$5.5 million which includes R$2.2 received during the first quarter of 2011) were received by the Company. The short-term portion of these receivables is stated as “Receivables from properties sale” in the balance sheet and the long- term portion is stated as part of “Other receivables and other assets”. The Company has evaluated the status of these receivables and concluded that there are no issues with their collectability.
     This transaction will enable the Company to reduce its debt and permit the management to focus its attention on the core restaurant operations.

Reassessed taxes
     The Company successfully applied to join two subsequent amnesty programs offered by the Brazilian federal government (REFIS in 1999 and PAES in 2003) to renegotiate Brazilian federal taxes not paid by Venbo in 1999, 2001 and at the beginning of 2002 in arrears. The second amnesty program (PAES) included the balance of the previous one (REFIS) and unpaid 2001 and 2002 federal taxes, as well as Social Security penalties.
     In February 2005, the Company compared its remaining debt regarding PAES with statements provided by the Brazilian Federal Government. Those statements reported that Company’s total tax liability would be greater than the figures in the Company’s balance sheet, in the amount of approximately R$3.2 million.
     During March, 2005, the Company filed a formal request with the Brazilian Federal Authorities, claiming to have its total tax liability reviewed. Such request, reconciled the amounts the Company had accrued in its accounting books to the amounts reported in the official statement at the same period. The Company believes that the amounts accrued at the balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, of R$11.0 million (R$11.6 million in December 31, 2010) are sufficient, however, there is no assurance that the outcome of this situation will not derive further liability to the Company. As of June 30, 2011, the difference between such tax liability at the statements provided by the Brazilian Federal Government and the statements reported by the Company’s was R$4.7 million (R$4.7 million in December 31, 2010).
     In 2008, the Brazilian federal government detected miscalculation of the interest accrued by most companies that had joined both amnesty programs. The Company’s total tax liability increased R$2.8 million accordingly.
     In accordance to the amnesty programs the Company has been paying monthly installments equivalent to 1.5% of Venbo ´s gross sales, with interest accruing at rates set by the Brazilian federal government, which are currently 6.0% per year (6.0% per year also in December 31, 2010).
     During second quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid approximately R$0.7 million (R$0.7 million in the same period of 2010) as part of the PAES program and no interest was charged on these payments.

Table of Contents

     During the third quarter of 2009, the Brazilian federal government launched a third amnesty program to consolidate balances from previous programs and other tax debts. The Company applied to join such program. However, the rules for the amnesty program, on tax liability consolidation and reduction in consequence to number of monthly installments chosen, have not yet been fully formalized by the Brazilian fiscal authorities. At the present moment, the Company cannot estimate when the Government will consolidate the total tax liability of such amnesty program and also cannot estimate if any material adjustment will be necessary.
Contingencies
    ISS tax litigation
     None of the Company’s revenues were subject to municipal tax on services rendered (ISS) until 2003. Notwithstanding, at the beginning of 2004, a new legislation stated that royalties were to be considered liable for ISS tax payment. Although the Company is claiming in court that royalties should not be understood as payment for services rendered and therefore should not be taxed under ISS legislation, the Company is monthly depositing in court the amount claimed.
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company has totaled R$7.4 million (R$6.6 million in December 31, 2010) in deposits, which is considered by the Company’s management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, sufficient to cover the Company’s current ISS tax contingencies.
     During the third quarter of 2009, the Company’s claim was partially settled in court. The decision was for Rio de Janeiro municipality to reimburse the Company approximately R$0.5 million taxed before the ISS new legislation was enacted. The Company is studying how probable tax credits to be received from the municipality could be offset against tax to be paid to the municipality, since the Company is currently depositing the amount due in court. Because of the uncertainty of realizing this tax credit, the Company did not recognize the related amount as a gain in its Consolidated Income Statements.
     The referred change in ISS tax legislation triggered much debate on whether marketing fund contribution and initial fees paid by franchisees should be considered services rendered and be liable for ISS tax payment. The Company and its tax advisors understand that those figures are not covered by the ISS legislation and, accordingly, they are not subject to such taxation. The Company and its legal advisors are working to adopt all necessary measures to avoid an inadequate interpretation of ISS taxation that could lead on marketing fund contribution and initial fees.
    Labor litigation
     During 2005, the Company was ordered to pay to a former employee R$480,000. Although unusually high, the Company cannot guarantee it will not receive other labor complaint of similar magnitude.
     As of June 30, 2011 the Company accounted for labor related liabilities the amount of R$1.6 million (R$1.9 million in December 31, 2010), which is considered by the Company’s management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, sufficient to cover the Company’s current labor contingencies.

Table of Contents

     Other contingencies
     The Company has experienced other contingencies related to the former owner of Venbo, to franchisees or ex-franchisees, to owners of properties where the Company held lease contracts and others. The Company cannot predict the receipt of additional claims that might be material or that might need Company ´s disbursements.
     Based on an analysis of possible losses, taking into account the applicable litigation and settlement strategies of its legal advisors, the Company has sufficient resources to cover its current contingencies.
NOTE 7 — DEFERRED INCOME
     The Company settles agreements with beverage and food suppliers and for each product, the Company negotiates a monthly performance bonus which will depend on the product sales volume to its chains (including both own-operated and franchise operated). The performance bonus, or vendor bonuses, can be paid monthly or in advance (estimated), depending on the agreement terms negotiated with each supplier.
     When a vendor bonus is received in advance in cash, it is recorded as an entry in the “Cash and cash equivalent’s” with a corresponding credit in deferred income and is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the related supply agreement on a monthly basis.
     Performance bonuses may also include Exclusivity agreements, which are normally paid in advance by suppliers.
     The increase from 2010 to 2011 is also attributable to two performance bonus contracted during 2011, both of them with pre-existing suppliers and relate to two major products supplied to the Bobs chain.
NOTE 8 — STOCK OPTION PLAN ACTIVITY
     The Company’s Stock Option Plan terminated on September 17, 2002, ten years from the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors.
     During 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of its shareholders decided that the Board would pay out compensation in cash and that no more stock options would be granted.
     During 2009, the last options of such plan were exercised and after this activity the Company has no further exercisable options, under the Company’s Stock Option Plan. Accordingly, during 2010 and 2011 there was no option activity.

NOTE 9 — TREASURY STOCK
     In the last quarter of 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan involving the repurchase of as many as 200,000 shares of its own common stock. The plan’s goal is to optimize the cash generated in the United States, and the repurchase limit was increased by 200,000 shares on October 18, 2006.
     During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased 8,325 shares related to such plan. During the first semester of 2010, the Company did not repurchase any share under the referred stock repurchase plan.
     Up to June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased a total amount of 343,490 shares and the accumulated stock purchases totaled R$2.1 million. Those transactions are accounted for as a reduction of Paid in Capital and an increase in treasury stocks, in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the accompanying balance sheets.
NOTE 10 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
     Through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Venbo, which conducts business under the trade name “Bob’s”, the Company owns and operates, both directly and through franchisees, Brazil’s second largest fast food hamburger restaurant chain. Currently, the Company operates 39 points of sale under the Bob’s brand.
     Since April 2007, the Company has operated the KFC brand in Brazil through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CFK. Presently, the Company operates 8 stores in Rio de Janeiro under the trade name KFC.

In addition, from the total of 736 franchise-operated point of sales, 383 were located at the same region, providing 56% of Net Revenues from Franchisees.
     Outside Brazil, the Bob’s brand is also present through franchise operations in Angola, Africa (three stores) and, since the last quarter of 2009, in Chile, South America (four stores). These operations are not material to our overall results.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
OUR BUSINESS
     References to “we”, “us” or the “Company” are to Brazil Fast Food Corp.
     During 1996, we acquired 100.0% of the capital of Venbo Comercio de Alimentos Ltda. (“Venbo”), a Brazilian limited liability company which conducts business under the trade name “Bob’s”, and owns and operates, both directly and through franchisees, a chain of hamburger fast food restaurants in Brazil. At the end of the second quarter of 2011, the Company was operating 39 stores in Rio de Janeiro State.
     In December 2006, we established a holding company in Brazil called BFFC do Brasil Participações Ltda. (“BFFC do Brasil”, formerly 22N Participações Ltda.), to consolidate all our business in the country and allow us to pursue its multi-brand program. Following the restructuring strategy, we implemented separate managements for our different divisions: fast food restaurants, franchises and real estate. During the first quarter of 2007, we reached an agreement with Yum! Brands, owner of the KFC brand. By this agreement, BFFC do Brasil, through its subsidiary CFK Comércio de Alimentos Ltda. (“CFK”, formerly Clematis Indústria e Comércio de Alimentos e Participações Ltda.), started to conduct the operations of four directly owned and operated KFC restaurants in the city of Rio de Janeiro as a Yum! Brands franchisee, and took over the management, development and expansion of the KFC chain in Brazil. At the end of the second quarter of 2011, the Company was operating 8 stores in Rio de Janeiro State.
     During 2008, we reached an agreement with Restaurants Connection International Inc (“RCI”) to acquire, through its wholly-owned holding subsidiary, BFFC do Brasil, 60% of Internacional Restaurantes do Brasil (“IRB”), which operates Pizza Hut restaurants in the city of São Paulo as a Yum! Brands franchisee. The remaining 40% of IRB is held by another Brazilian company of which IRB’s current CEO is the main stockholder. IRB also operates a coffee concept brand called “In Bocca al Lupo Café”, which is present as a “corner” operation, inside of four of Pizza Hut stores. At the end of the second quarter of 2011, the Company was operating 17 Pizza Hut stores in São Paulo State.

     During October 2008, we reached an agreement with G.E.D. Sociedad Anonima (“GED”), one of the fast food leaders in Chile, where it has 150 stores. By this agreement, BFFC do Brasil would establish a Master Franchise to manage, develop and expand the Doggis hot-dog chain in Brazil through own-operated restaurants and franchisees and GED would establish a Master Franchise to manage, develop and expand the Bob’s hamburger chain in Chile through own-operated restaurants and franchisees. The Master Franchise established in Brazil was named DGS Comercio de Alimento S.A. (“DGS”) and the Master Franchise established in Chile was named BBS S.A. (“BBS”). BFFC do Brasil has 20% of BBS and GED has 20% of DGS. BBS is qualified as noncontrolling subsidiary since we have no ability to influence business decision in such investee. Accordingly, investment in BBS is accounted for at cost of acquisition. The Company opened the first Doggis’ store in third quarter of 2009 and at the end of the first semester of 2011 the Company was operating 5 stores in Rio de Janeiro State.
     We also own FCK — Franquias e Participações Ltda., via the capital contribution of the equity interest it held in SUPRILOG. FCK will operate the franchise system of KFC in Brazil .As of June 30, 2011, FCK had not initiated its new operation. FCK figures are not material to our overall results.
     Besides the Brazilian operations, the Company is also present, through Bob’s franchisees, in Angola, Africa, and Chile, South America. These operations are not material to our overall results.
     For the most part, revenues consist of sales by Company’s own-operated restaurants, income from agreements with trade partners and fees from restaurants operated by franchisees. These fees consist primarily of initial franchise fees and royalties that are based on a percentage of sales.
     We, through BFFC do Brasil, manage the second largest fast food chain in Brazil based on number of system units.

Net Revenues from Own-Operated Restaurants
     Net restaurant sales for our company-owned retail outlets increased R$5.0 million or 6.8%, to R$78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to R$73.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Net restaurant sales for our company-owned retail outlets increased R$3.1 million or 9.0%, to R$38.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to R$35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     The breakdown of net revenues from the Company’s own restaurants is as follows:
                                                 
    Net revenues from own-operated restaurants  
    6 Months     Increase     6 Months     3 Months     Increase     3 Months

    R$78,468       6.8 %     R$73,450       R$38,322       9.0 %     R$35,173  
 
                                   
     Based on the criterion of same store sales, which only includes stores that have been open for more than one year and represents a non-GAAP statistic used in retail industry analysis, Bob’s net restaurant sales in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were 10.2% higher than in the same three-month period in 2010. The increase is attributable to face-lift of some stores and to discounted price on one of the major sandwiches. However, Bob’s overall sales decreased due to the reduction in the number of points of sale (from 55 in June 30, 2010 to 39 at June 30, 2011).
     The decrease in the number of Bob’s point of sales reflects the company’s strategy to limit its direct operations to its most profitable outlets and to focus on growing its franchise network.
     Under the criterion of same store sales, net restaurant sales saw an approximately 12.3% increase for the KFC brand between the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the equivalent period in 2010. KFC’s overall sales increased due to (i) improvement of client perception to KFC brand (ii) inclusion of lower price products, bringing in new business during off-peak hours; (ii) increase in delivery business; and (iii) focus on speeding up operations, especially at peak hours, with implementation of client single line and products assembly line. KFC’s overall sales increase was partially offset by the decreased number of point of sales from 10 at June 30, 2010 to 8 at June 30, 2011.
     Under the criterion of same store sales, Pizza Hut’s net restaurant sales increased by approximately 10.3% between the three—month period ended June 30, 2011 and the equivalent period of 2010. Pizza Hut’s sale increase is attributable to modifications to the menu board: (a) inclusion of higher value items; (b) launch of new co-branding and other products. The increase is also attributable to the increase in the selling price of some products, representing an overall price hike of around 3%, to sales through the internet (collective purchases) and to new promotions during the working days. Pizza Hut’s revenues were also positively impacted by the increased number of point of sales from 16 at June 30, 2010 to 17 at June 30, 2011).
     The overall increase in Doggis’ sales is mainly attributable to the growth in the number of points of sales from four on June 30, 2010 to 5 on June 30, 2011.

Net Franchise Revenues
     Net franchise revenues are comprised of initial fees (due upon the signing of a new franchise contract) and royalty fees (a percentage on sales paid by stores operated by franchisees), as set forth below:
                                 
    6 Months ended     3 Months ended

Net Franchise Revenues
    R$15,434       R$12,648       R$7,824       R$6,054  
 
                       
     Net franchise revenues increased R$2.8 million or 22.0%, to R$15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from R$12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Net franchise revenues increased R$1.8 million or 29.2%, to R$7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from R$6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     These increases are attributable to the growth of Company’s franchise business from 650 retail outlets as of June 30, 2010 to 736 as of June 30, 2011.
     Currently, the Bob’s brand accounts for most of the franchise activity.
Alongside the royalty fees and initial fees, the Company receives marketing contributions from its franchisees, which are designed to finance corporate marketing investments and are accounted for as discussed in Marketing Expenses.
Revenue from Trade partners and Other Income
     The Company has agreements with beverage and food suppliers, and for each product it negotiates a monthly performance bonus which depends on the volume of sales of that product to its chains (including both own-operated and franchise operated stores). The performance bonus, or vendor bonus, can be paid monthly or in advance (estimated), depending on the agreement terms negotiated with each supplier. Income from the performance bonus is only possible because the number of restaurants that operate throughout Brazil under the prestigious brands franchised by the Company, especially Bob’s, represent an excellent channel for suppliers to increase their sales. Each month, the Company assesses the volume of each product purchased by its chains and calculates the performance bonus receivable from each contract. The performance bonus is normally received in cash and rarely in products. Since 2008 the Company has not received any performance bonus in products.
     The income related to performance bonuses when received in cash recognized directly as a credit in the Company’s income statement under “revenues from trade partners”. Such revenue is recorded when the cash is actually received from the vendors, since it is very hard to estimate how much will be receivable and there are significant doubts about its collectability until the vendor agrees on the exact value of the bonus.
     When a vendor’s bonus is received in advance in cash, it is recorded as an entry in the “Cash and cash equivalents” with a corresponding credit in deferred income, and is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the related supply agreement on a monthly basis.

Table of Contents

     Performance bonuses may also include exclusivity agreements, which are normally paid in advance by suppliers.
     The rise in the number of Bob’s brand franchisees, from 650 on June 30, 2010 to 736 on June 30, 2011, together with the expansion of the multi-brand concept, has given the Company’s administrators greater bargaining power with its suppliers.
     In addition, the growth of the franchisee chain has boosted the volume of purchases made from suppliers. According to the terms of its supply agreements, this means the Company has benefited from volume-related performance bonuses from its suppliers.
Other income is mainly comprised of nonrecurring gains.
Store Costs and Expenses
     As a percentage of Total revenues, Store costs and expenses were (69.3%) and (73.0%) for the semesters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     As a percentage of Total revenues, Store costs and expenses were (69.4%) and (71.7%) for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     Analyzed as a segment (own-store operations), the respective store costs and expenses for own-operated restaurants as compared to net revenues can be seen below:

     The overall decrease in the cost of food, beverages and packaging as a percentage of Net Revenues from Own-Operated Restaurants from 2010 to 2011 was mainly due a reduction in the VAT charged in Rio de Janeiro, as well as a reduction of Doggis’s freight costs, and significant drop in the purchase price of some Doggis products (sausages and mayonnaise) and one major Pizza Hut product (cheese). The cost of food also decreased due to a reduction in the purchase price of other important products, like rice and beans (KFC), ice-cream (Bobs, KFC and Doggis), vegetables and soft drinks (Pizza Hut). This reduction was partially offset by a higher purchase price of some raw materials used at Bob’s and KFC: hamburgers, soft drinks, chicken, French fries and packaging products.

The reduction in Payroll & Related Benefits as a percentage of Net Revenues from Own-Operated Restaurants is mainly due to the optimization of the workforce at all the brands (increased revenues with no significant rise in employees), except Doggis. In addition, the Bob’s restaurants reduced their overall headcount and hired more temporary staff, resulting in lower labor charges and benefits payable.

     The increase in restaurant occupancy costs and other expenses as a percentage of Net Revenues from Own-Operated Restaurants is mainly due to higher store rents, as the rent agreements were adjusted, as per their terms, by the IGP-M inflation index, which was 8.6%p.y. The percentage increase in Doggis’s occupancy costs was due to non-recurring rent discounts granted in the first quarter of 2010.

     The main reason for the reduction in expenses related to contracted services as a percentage of net revenues from own-operated restaurants was a reduction in maintenance, security and utilities costs. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in call center costs at KFC brand.
Depreciation and Amortization (Stores and Headquarters)
     The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to store equipment modernization and stores remodeling.
Other Store Cost and Expenses
     Other store cost and expenses expressed as a percentage of Net revenues from own-operated restaurants increased from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the same period ended June 30, 2011 mainly due to increase of selling expenses attributable to own-operated restaurants.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing Expenses
     Bob’s Brand
     According to our franchise agreements, the Bob’s marketing fund dedicated to advertising and promotion is comprised of financial contributions paid by the franchisees and contributions by us. The fund is administrated by us and must be used in the common interest of the Bob’s chain, through the best efforts of the marketing department, to increase its restaurant sales.
     The marketing contributions from franchisees are recorded on an accrual basis as assets in accounts receivables and in a cross entry as liabilities in the marketing fund. The contributions due by Venbo are recorded on an accrual basis as marketing expenses and in a cross entry as liabilities in the marketing fund.
     In general, Bob’s franchisees monthly contribute with 4.0% of their monthly gross sales to the Bob’s marketing fund. Since 2006, we have also committed 4.0% of its gross sales from its own-operated restaurant monthly gross sales (sales derived from special events are not subject to such contribution). These contributions can be deducted from our marketing department expenses if previously agreed with the our franchisees. However, the total marketing investments may be greater than 4.0% of combined sales if a supplier makes an extra contribution (joint marketing programs) or if we use more of our own cash on marketing, advertising and promotions.
     We primarily invest the Bob’s marketing fund resources in nationwide advertising programs (commercials or sponsorship on TV, radio and outdoors). Our franchisees may also invest directly in advertising and promotions for their own stores, upon previous consent from us, which freely decides whether the cost of such single advertisement or promotion should be deducted from the marketing contribution owed.
     The Bob’s marketing fund resources are not required to be invested during the same month or year that they were received, but must be used in subsequent periods.
     Periodically, we meet with the Bob’s Franchisee Council to divulge the marketing fund accounts in a report that is similar to a cash flow statement. This statement discloses the marketing contributions received and the marketing expenses, both on a cash basis.
     The balance of any resources from the marketing fund that are not spent is recorded as accrued accounts payable in the balance sheet; this item totaled R$6.5 million as of June 30, 2011 (R$7.8 million as of December 31, 2010).
     This balance represents contributions made by Venbo and franchisees that have not yet been used in campaigns. These balances are, as agreed with the franchisees chain, a Venbo obligation as of that date.
     The marketing fund expenses on advertising and promotions are recognized as incurred. Total marketing investments financed by the marketing fund amounted to R$18.4 million and R$11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

     During the first semester of 2011 the Company paid out one-time expenses in the amount of R$2.4 million to cover momentary shortfalls in the distribution of raw materials to point of sales located at distant areas in the north and mid-west of Brazil, which are complicated to organize and have high logistics costs. In order to improve its logistics system, the Company changed its logistics operator from Luft-FBD to Martin Brauwer, which started operations in the beginning of the second quarter of 2011.
     Also during the first quarter of 2011, the Company received approximately R$900,000 of receivables which were previously written-off and expensed as uncollectible. Therefore, as of June 30, 2011 this amount was computed as a gain, reversing the doubtful receivable expenses incurred in the period, reducing the percentage discussed above. This reflects the actions the Company is taking related to collection of past due accounts such as: outsourcing the collection process of delinquent debtors and renegotiation of past receivables with franchisees, as well as improve the criteria of collection of new accounts.
Impairment of Assets and Net Result of Assets Sold
     The Company reviews its fixed assets in accordance with guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets in the Property Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC 360.
     During the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Company’s review in accordance with FASB ASC 360, derived no charge to the income statement.
Interest Expense, net
     Interest expense decrease as a percentage of Total Revenues is mainly due to the renegotiation of the Company to reduce interest rates in 2011 and due to decrease of Company ´s indebtedness.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Amounts in thousand of Brazilian reais)
    A) Introduction
     Since March 1996, we have funded our cumulative operating losses worth approximately R$17.7 million and made acquisitions of businesses and capital improvements (including the refurbishment of some of the Company’s stores), for which we used cash remaining at the closure of our acquisition of Venbo, borrowed funds from various sources, and made private placements of our securities. As of June 30, 2011, we had cash on hand of approximately R$21.0 million — which included a R$18.2 million investment in cash equivalent — and a working capital of approximately R$7.3 million.
     In the past, debts denominated in any other currency than Brazilian Reais increased with the major devaluation of the Brazilian Real at the beginning of 1999. A sequence of years with reduced sales, mainly due to the weak economic environment in Brazil, worsened the situation and we were not able to pay some of its obligations, including taxes. In the following years the payment of taxes in arrears was renegotiated with levels of Brazilian government so they could be paid off in monthly installments.
     With the improvement of the Brazilian economy since 2002, our total revenues have increased and, joined to a capital injection of R$9.0 million, we have started to reduce our debt position. In 2003 we rescheduled much of the debt to long term. The continued improvement of its sales led us to (i) drastically reduce our debts with financial institutions in 2005; and (ii) extinguish those debts and reverse its financial position to present time deposits with financial institutions at the end of 2006. The improved collection rate from our franchisees, commencing in 2005, also strengthened our current assets. In 2007 and the first three quarters of 2008, we maintained this positive scenario and was able to record positive working capital.
     Since the last quarter of 2008, when we increased our bank debt position in order to fund the acquisition of IRB, the expansion of the KFC stores and the startup of the Doggis brand, these transactions brought the Company’s working capital back into negative territory. After a sequence of positive results (operating income in the years of 2009 and 2010, as well as in the first semester of 2011) the Company returned to positive working capital.
     For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we had net cash provided by operating activities of R$9.6 million (R$7.9 million in 2010), net cash used in investing activities of R$0.5 million (R$4.1 million used in 2010) and net cash used in financing activities of R$4.9 million (R$1.6 million in 2010). Net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of Company’s investment in property and equipment to improve Company’s retail operations, mainly setting up new own-operated KFC and Pizza Hut stores. Net cash used in financing activities was mainly the result of repayments of borrowings from financial institutions to fund to IRB acquisition.
     Since the beginning of the repurchase program, we have also invested approximately R$2.1 million in the financial market, re-purchasing 343,490 shares that had gained considerable value in the over-the-counter market where they are negotiated. (During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we invested approximately R$0.1 million in the financial market, re-purchasing 8,325 shares).
     In 2008, we paid dividends to its shareholders by virtue of its successful reorganization. In 2009 there were no dividends paid to shareholders. In 2010, due to its increased operational margins, we distributed extraordinary cash dividends based on accumulated profits since our last distribution.

(a)   Part of this debt (R$6.7 million) is due on demand from two Brazilian financial institutions at interest of approximately 14.0%p.y. Another part (R$2.9 million) is comprised of two loans: one is payable in 6 installments of R$217,000 (ending on December, 2011), plus interest of 14.1%p.y and the other is payable in 19 installments of R$84,000 (ending on January, 2013), plus interest of 13.1%p.y. All the debts of this category are collateralized against certain officers and receivables.
(b)   The debt is comprised of various lease facilities with private Brazilian institutions for the funding of store equipment; payable in a range from 4 to 7 monthly payments at interest ranging from 15.4% p.y. to 23.4% p.y. (ending on January, 2012). All the debts of this category are collateralized against the assets leased.
(c)   Loan taken out with UBS Pactual relate to the acquisition of the Pizza Hut business in Brazil. The repayment of this loan is due in 2 monthly installments (ending on August, 2011), of R$166,000, plus interest of 13.2%p.y. The loan is guaranteed by some of the Company’s properties.
    The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value at June 30, 2011 because they are at market interest rates.

   C) Debt Obligation — taxes
     The Company successfully applied to join two subsequent amnesty programs offered by the Brazilian federal government (REFIS in 1999 and PAES in 2003) to renegotiate Brazilian federal taxes not paid by Venbo in 1999, 2001 and at the beginning of 2002 in arrears. The second amnesty program (PAES) included the balance of the previous one (REFIS) and unpaid 2001 and 2002 federal taxes, as well as Social Security penalties.
     In February 2005, the Company compared its remaining debt regarding PAES with statements provided by the Brazilian Federal Government. Those statements reported that Company’s total tax liability would be greater than the figures in the Company’s balance sheet, in the amount of approximately R$3.2 million.
     During March, 2005, the Company filed a formal request with the Brazilian Federal Authorities, claiming to have its total tax liability reviewed. Such request, reconciled the amounts the Company had accrued at its accounting books to the amounts reported in the official statement at the same period. The Company believes that the amounts accrued at the balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, of R$11.0 million (R$11.6 million in December 31, 2010) are sufficient, however, there is no assurance that the outcome of this situation will not derive further liability to the Company. As of June 30, 2011, the difference between such tax liability at the statements provided by the Brazilian Federal Government and the statements reported by the Company’s was R$4.7 million (R$4.7 million in December 31, 2010).
     In 2008, the Brazilian federal government detected miscalculation of the interest accrued by most companies that had joined both amnesty programs. The Company’s total tax liability increased R$2.8 million accordingly.
     In accordance to the amnesty programs the Company has been paying monthly installments equivalent to 1.5% of Venbo ´s gross sales, with interest accruing at rates set by the Brazilian federal government, which are currently 6.0% per year (6.0% per year also in December 31, 2010).
     During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid approximately R$0.7 million as part of the PAES program and no interest was charged on these payments. During the same period of 2010 the Company paid approximately R$0.5 million, including R$0.1 in interest.
     During the third quarter of 2009, the Brazilian federal government launched a third amnesty program to consolidate balances from previous programs and other tax debts. The Company applied to join such program. However, the rules for the amnesty program, on tax liability consolidation and reduction in consequence to number of monthly installments chosen, have not yet been fully formalized by the Brazilian fiscal authorities. At the present moment, the Company cannot estimate when the Government will consolidate the total tax liability of such amnesty program and also cannot estimate if any material adjustment will be necessary.

D) Other Obligations
     We also have long-term contractual obligations in the form of operating lease obligations related to the Company’s own-operated stores.
     The future minimum lease payments under those obligations with initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at June 30, 2011 are as follows:

  R$  46.524  
 
     
     Rent expense was R$8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (R$8.5 million in 2010).
     In the past, we generated cash and obtained financing sufficient to meet the our debt obligations. We plan to fund our current debt obligations mainly through cash provided by our operations, borrowings and capital injections.
     The average cost of opening a retail outlet is approximately R$200,000 to R$2,000,000 including leasehold improvements, equipment and beginning inventory, as well as expenses for store design, site selection, lease negotiation, construction supervision and the obtainment of permits.
     We estimate that our capital expenditure for the fiscal year of 2011 to be used for maintaining and upgrading our current restaurant network, making new investments in restaurant equipment, and expanding the KFC, Pizza Hut and Doggis chains in Brazil through own-operated stores, will come to approximately R$6.1 million. Additionally in 2011, we intend to focus our efforts on expanding both the number of our franchisees and the number of our franchised retail outlets, neither of which are expected to require significant capital expenditure. In addition, the expansion will provide income derived from initial fees charged on new franchised locations.
     As discussed above, we have contractual obligations in different forms. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and financial commitments, as well as their aggregate maturities.

Lease obligations are usually restated in accordance to Brazilian inflation currently at 8.6% p.y. Tax debts are due with interests, which rates are discussed on letter C above. All the amounts disclosed on the previous tables include interest incurred up to June 30, 2011 on an accrual basis.
     We plan to address our immediate and future cash flow needs to include focusing on a number of areas including:
  -   the expansion of Company’s franchisee base, which may be expected to generate additional cash flows from royalties and franchise initial fees without significant capital expenditures;
 
  -   the improvement of food preparation methods in all stores to increase the operational margin of the chain, including acquiring new store’s equipment and hiring a consultancy firm for stores’ personnel training program;
 
  -   the continuing of motivational programs and menu expansions to meet consumer needs and wishes;
 
  -   the improvement and upgrade of our IT system
 
  -   the negotiation with suppliers in order to obtain significant agreements in long term supply contracts; and
 
  -   the renegotiation of past due receivables with franchisees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We annually review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies to ensure that they provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements or summary of significant accounting policies more fully disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in pages F-8 through F-45), the following involve a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity.
Foreign currency
     Assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than Brazilian Reais are translated into Brazilian Reais at the prevailing exchange rate as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as they occur.
Accounts receivable
     Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from food sales, franchise royalties and assets sold to franchisees.
     Currently we have approximately 230 franchisees that operates approximately 736 points of sales. A few of them may undergo financial difficulties in the course of their business and may therefore fail to pay their monthly royalty fees.
     If a franchisee fails to pay its invoices for more than six months in a row, one of the following procedures is adopted: either (i) the franchisee’s accounts receivable are written off if the individual invoices are below R$5,000; or (ii) the Company records a provision for doubtful accounts if the individual invoices are over R$5,000 .
     In addition, we record a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts that may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of our prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
     Despite writing-off those receivables on the accounting books or recording a provision for doubtful accounts, the finance department keeps these records to conduct the commercial negotiations.
     When a franchisee has past due accounts derived from unpaid royalty fees, we may reassess such debts with the franchisee and reschedule them in installments. We may also intermediate the sale of the franchise business to another franchisee (new or owner of another franchised store) and

- 41 -


Table of Contents

reschedule such debts as a portion of the purchase price. When either kind of agreement is reached, the Company accounts for these amounts as “renegotiated past due accounts”.
Long-Lived Assets
     We adopted guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets in the Property Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires that long-lived assets being disposed of be measured at either the carrying amount or the fair value less cost to sell, whichever is lower, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations.
     If an indicator of impairment (e.g. negative operating cash flows for the most recent trailing twelve-month period) exists for any group of assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by each restaurant within the asset grouping is compared to its carrying value. If any asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows.
Revenue recognition
     Revenue recognition
     Restaurant sales revenue is recognized when purchase in the store is effected.
      Initial franchise fee revenue is recognized when all material services and conditions relating to the franchise have been substantially performed or satisfied which normally occurs when the restaurant is opened. Monthly royalty fees equivalent to a percentage of the franchisees’ gross sales are recognized in the month when they are earned.
 
      The Company signs agreements with beverage and food suppliers and for each product, the Company negotiates a monthly performance bonus which will depend on the product sales volume to its chains (including both own-operated and franchise operated). The performance bonus, or vendor bonuses, can be paid monthly or in advance (estimated), depending on the agreement terms negotiated with each supplier. When received in cash, the performance bonus is recognized as a credit in the Company’s income statement ( under “revenues from trade partners”). Such revenue is recorded when cash from vendors is received, since there is a great difficulty in estimating the receivable amount and significant doubts about its collectability exists until the vendor agrees with the exact bonus amounts.
 
      When a vendor bonus is received in advance in cash, it is recorded as an entry in the “Cash and cash equivalents” with a corresponding credit in deferred income and is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the related supply agreement on a monthly basis. When a vendor bonus is received in products it is recognized as a reduction to store costs and expenses.
 
      Performance bonuses are normally received in cash and rarely in products. There were no performance bonus received in products during six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
      Income obtained by lease of any of the Company’s properties, by administration fees on marketing fund and nonrecurring gains are recognized as other income when earned and deemed realizable.
 
      The relationship between the Company and each of its franchisees is legally bound by a formal contract, where each franchisee agrees to pay monthly royalty fees equivalent to a percentage of its gross sales. The formal contract and the franchisees’ sales (as a consequence of their business) address three of four requirements for revenue recognition as per Staff Accounting Bulletin No 104 (SAB 104), issued by the Security and Exchange Commission:

- 42 -


Table of Contents

  -   Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists — the contract is signed by the franchisee;
 
  -   Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered — franchisee sales are the basis of royalty revenues;
 
  -   The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable — the contract states that royalties are a percentage of the franchisee’s gross sales;
    The Company also address SAB104’s fourth requirement for revenue recognition (Collectability is reasonably assured) when recording its revenues. If a franchisee fails to pay its invoices for more than six months in a row, the Company does not stop invoicing the contracted amounts. However, in such cases the Company offsets any additional invoiced amounts with a corresponding full allowance for doubtful accounts.
Marketing fund and expenses
     Bob’s Brand
     According to our franchise agreements, the Bob’s marketing fund to cover advertising and promotion costs comprises the financial contributions paid by the franchisees and also the contributions due by the Company. The fund’s resources are administrated by us and must be used in the common interest of the Bob’s chain to increase its restaurant sales through the best efforts of the marketing department.
     The marketing contribution from franchisees, are recorded on an accrual basis in assets as accounts receivables with a cross entry in liabilities as the marketing fund. The contributions due by Venbo are recorded on an accrual basis as marketing expenses and in a cross entry in liabilities as the marketing fund.
     In general, Bob’s franchisees contribute 4.0% of their monthly gross sales to the Bob’s marketing fund, and since 2006 the Company has also contributed 4.0% of its own-operated restaurants’ monthly gross sales (sales derived from special events are not subject to this contribution). These contributions can be deducted from the our marketing department expenses, if previously agreed with the franchisees. However, the total marketing investments may be greater than 4.0% of combined sales if any supplier makes an additional contribution (joint marketing programs) or if we use more of our own cash on marketing, advertising and promotions.
     We invest the Bob’s marketing fund primarily in nationwide advertising programs (commercials or sponsorship on TV, radio and billboards). Our franchisees may also invest directly in advertising and promotions for their own stores, upon previous consent from us, which freely decides whether the cost of such advertisements or promotions can be deducted from the marketing contribution owed.
     The monies in the Bob’s marketing fund do not have to be invested during the same month or year they are received in, but they must be used in subsequent periods.
     Periodically, we meet with the Bob’s Franchisee Council to divulge the marketing fund accounts through a report similar to a cash flow statement. This statement discloses the marketing contributions received and the marketing expenses, both on a cash basis.
     The balance of any resources from the marketing fund that are not invested is recorded as accrued accounts payable in the balance sheet. This balance represents contributions made by Venbo and franchisees that have not yet been used in campaigns. These balances are, as agreed with the franchisees chain, a Venbo obligation as of that date.
     Advertising and promotions expenses from the marketing fund are recognized as incurred.

Table of Contents

          KFC and Pizza Hut Brands
     We contributes each month with 0.5% of KFC’s and Pizza Hut’s monthly net sales to a marketing fund managed by YUM! Brands — Brazil. In addition, we are also committed to invest 4.5% of KFC’s and Pizza Hut’s monthly net sales in local marketing and advertising.
     The advertising and promotions expenses for KFC and Pizza Hut are recognized as incurred.
          Doggis Brand
     We invest at least 4% of Doggis’s restaurant sales in local marketing. There is no contribution to a marketing fund.
     The advertising and promotions expenses for Doggis are recognized as incurred.
Income taxes
     We account for income tax in accordance with guidance provided by the FASC ASC on Accounting for Income Tax. Under the asset and liability method set out in this guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities on the financial statements and their respective tax basis and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
     Under the above-referred guidance, the effect of a change in tax rates or deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
     The effect of income tax positions are recorded only if those positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Currently, the Company has no material uncertain income tax positions. Although we do not currently have any material charges related to interest and penalties, such costs, if incurred, are reported within the provision for income taxes.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     Subsequent Events. We adopted FASB ASC “Subsequent Events” in the second quarter of 2009. This accounting standard establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date; that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. In line with the requirements of this accounting standard for public entities, we evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. FASB ASC “Subsequent Events” should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports in its financial statements, either through recognition or disclosure. The adoption of this accounting standard in the second quarter of 2009 did not impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The FASB amended this accounting guidance in March 2010, effective immediately, to exclude public entities from the requirement to disclose the date on which subsequent events had been evaluated. In addition, the amendment modified the requirement to disclose the date on which subsequent events had been evaluated in reissued financial statements to apply only to such statements that had been restated to correct an error or to apply U.S. GAAP retrospectively. As a result of this amendment, we did not disclose the date through which we evaluated subsequent events in this report on Form 10-Q.
     The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. As a result of this amendment, we did not disclose the date through which we evaluated subsequent events in this report on Form 10-Q.
     FASB Accounting Standards Codification — In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the FASB ASC and any accounting literature not included in the FASB ASC will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This accounting standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning with our third quarter 2009 report on Form 10-Q, all references made to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements now reference the new FASB ASC. This accounting standard does not change or alter the existing GAAP and does not therefore impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the guidelines for the consolidation of variable interest entities. These new guidelines determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through voting interests should be consolidated. According to this recent accounting pronouncement, the company has to determine whether it should provide consolidated reporting of an

- 45 -


Table of Contents

entity based upon the entity’s purpose and design and the parent company’s ability to direct the entity’s actions. The guidance was adopted during the 2010 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In January 2010, the FASB issued amendments to the existing fair value measurements and disclosures guidance, which require new disclosures and clarify existing disclosure requirements. The purpose of these amendments is to provide a greater level of disaggregated information as well as more disclosure around valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. The guidance was adopted during 2010 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     The FASB has issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s)that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.
     The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance was adopted during 2010 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-A. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance was adopted during 2011 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     The FASB has issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics. ASU 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting StandardsCodificationTM (Codification) based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 , which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. Specifically, SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with:
    Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised December 2007), Business Combinations); and
 
    Codification Topic 810, Consolidation (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160,
    Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements).

Table of Contents

    Such Update was adopted during 2010 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    The FASB has issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-E, “Accounting for Stock Dividends, Including Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash.” ASU 2010-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Such Update was adopted during 2010 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging(Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The FASB believes this ASU clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption — one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature.
 
    The amendments in the ASU are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this accounting standard did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
    A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
    In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
    In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
    For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
 
    A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
    ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The guidance was adopted during 2011 fiscal year and did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
    We are not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
     A portion of our purchase commitments are denominated in U.S. Dollars, while our operating revenues are denominated in Brazilian Reais. We extinguished all of our debt denominated in US$ in 2003. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the Real and the U.S. Dollar expose us to foreign exchange risk.
     We finance a portion of our operations by issuing debt and using bank credit facilities. These debt obligations expose us to market risks, including changing CDI-based interest rate risk. The CDI is a daily variable interest rate used by Brazilian banks. It is linked to the Brazilian equivalent of the Federal Reserve fund rates and its fluctuations are much like those observed in the international financial market.
     We had R$9.6 million of variable rate (CDI-based interest) debt outstanding at June 30, 2011, and R$13.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2010. Based on the amounts outstanding, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate change to interest expense of $0.2 million at June 30, 2011 as well as $0.2 million at December 31, 2010. We attempt, when possible, to protect our revenues from foreign currency exchange risks by periodically adjusting our selling prices in Reais.
     We are not engage in trading market risk-sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. Our primary market risk exposures are those relating to interest rate fluctuations and possible devaluations of the Brazilian currency. In particular, a change in Brazilian interest rates would affect the rates at which we could borrow funds under our several credit facilities with Brazilian banks and financial institutions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     As of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
     Based upon the foregoing evaluation as of June 30, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating as of June 30, 2011, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
     Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance.
     Management understands that the set of internal controls applicable to restaurant operations provides us reasonable trust on their performance, aligned with the best practices observed in the Brazilian food service market. Central support to stores is improving along the years adapting the best systems and methods that local suppliers offer for these activities in Brazil. At the same time our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2011 and provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and for the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The results of management’s assessments were reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of directors. Management believes that the improvements we are pursuing through the implementation of the business process redesign project will comply with Sarbanes Oxley 404 rule, in order to be able to report according to this regulation when the market cap threshold will be achieved.
     This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the matters mentioned above.
