Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1:

NATURE OF BUSINESS

(1)

Organization – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Chanticleer Advisors LLC (“Advisors”), Avenel Ventures LLC ("Ventures") and Avenel Financial Services LLC ("Financial") (collectively the “Company”, "Companies," “we”, or “us”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Holdings was organized October 21, 1999, under the laws of the State of Delaware. 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. Ventures has entered into consulting agreements with two clients and has received common stock from the clients for its business management and consulting services. Financial was organized to provide unique financial services to the restaurant, real estate development, investment advisor/asset management and philanthropic organizations. Initial services have not yet commenced and are expected to include captive insurance, CHIRA and trust services.

(2)

Shareholder Actions – The holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a meeting, in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and Delaware General Corporation Law Section 228, have approved: (i) the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and (ii) the reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1:10.

Withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act became effective on July 21, 2008, when the Company filed Form N-54c with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The 1:10 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was effective on July 17, 2008, at which time the Company began trading under a new symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board (CCLR). All share amounts and transactions have been restated to give effect to the reverse split as if it happened at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

(3)

General - The financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 financial statements have not been audited.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2008, which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K.

NOTE 2:

CHANGE IN REPORTING ENTITY

From May 23, 2005 until July 21, 2008, the Company operated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As such, the Company was subject to different reporting requirements and methods of accounting for its investments. With the change back to being an operating company, the Company is no longer subject to the requirements of a BDC and the Company was required pursuant to SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”) to retroactively modify its financial statements as if it were not subject to the requirements of a BDC during all periods presented.

The following reports the effect of the change on net earnings (loss), other comprehensive income and net earnings per-share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

NOTE 5:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

PENDING ACQUISITIONS

Hooters, Inc.

On March 11, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the purchase of Hooters, Inc., Hooters Management Corporation and their related restaurants (collectively “HI”) from the nine current individual HI shareholders, many of whom will continue to stay involved in the ongoing operation as shareholders of Chanticleer. The transaction is valued at approximately $55.1 million and could close in the second quarter of 2009.

The closing of the transaction is subject to Chanticleer raising the necessary debt and equity financing to complete the acquisition. Chanticleer has retained an investment banking firm to assist in securing the equity capital necessary to close the proposed transaction. Chanticleer has completed all other conditions and is in process of raising the necessary debt and equity financing to complete the transaction. (See current status below.)

HI was founded in 1983 and was the creator of the Hooters brand and concept. In 1984, HI licensed Neighborhood Restaurants of America, n/k/a Hooters of America, Inc. (“HOA”), owned by a separate group of shareholders, to be its exclusive licensee in the development and expansion of its restaurant business. In 2001 HI went on to sell the Hooters trademarks and other related proprietary rights to HOA. HI retained and continues to own certain rights including a perpetual irrevocable license agreement with greatly reduced royalties, to operate its restaurants in its retained territories and, most importantly, to acquire franchisees within the Hooters system. These rights will be acquired by Chanticleer as a part of the transaction.

Chanticleer has an existing relationship with HOA through its position as the lead investor in a $5 million, 6% convertible three-year promissory note from the Estate of Robert Brooks, the former Chairman of HOA. This note is secured by and contains conversion options into 2% of Hooters of America outstanding stock. Chanticleer was also granted a right of first refusal and a right to match any equity financing proposed to, or sought by, HOA. Additionally, Chanticleer currently holds an Option Agreement with HOA to open Hooters franchises in the Republic of South Africa which is under development. The entire Hooters system, consisting of 433 restaurants in 28 countries, is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary with events on the 25th of each month and a grand pageant in Miami on July 23, 2008.

HI currently owns and operates 22 restaurants, which comprise the highest average unit gross sales within the Hooters system, and includes locations in and around Tampa, Florida, Chicago, Illinois and the Manhattan regions, including the original Hooters restaurant located in Clearwater, Florida. These are the operations of HI being acquired by Chanticleer.

Through March 31, 2009, the Company has recorded $279,050 in deferred acquisition costs related to the planned acquisition of HI.

Texas Wings

On July 8, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Texas Wings Incorporated and its 45 related Hooters branded restaurants (collectively “Texas Wings”) for total consideration of approximately $106 million, including approximately $53 million in cash, approximately $37 million in Chanticleer common stock and convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $16 million (the “Transaction”).

The Company will create an operating company and combine Texas Wings with HI and its 22 Hooters restaurants, which the Company agreed to acquire in March 2008.

The Transaction is subject to a number of customary closing conditions and could close during the second quarter of 2009, concurrently with the closing of the HI acquisition. (See current status below.)

Current Status

The termination date for the Company’s pending acquisition of the stock of HI and certain of its related entities followed immediately by the subsequent acquisition of Texas Wings and certain of its related entities has passed. Although the sellers have not, to date, exercised their rights to terminate the agreements and the Company continues to seek to consummate these transactions, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to close the pending acquisitions.

In addition, the commitment letters from certain financial institutions to provide one or more related entities of the Company the $85,000,000 Senior Secured Credit have expired, primarily due to the inability of the Company to raise the necessary equity portion of the financing at acceptable terms in today’s financial environment. The Company continues to communicate with the financial institutions that agreed to provide the credit facility; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining any financing or that the terms of any credit facility in the future will be acceptable to the Company.

NOTE 6:

GOING CONCERN

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had current assets of $34,626 and $23,556; current liabilities of $1,052,626 and $686,125; and negative working capital of $1,018,000 and $662,569, respectively. The Company incurred a loss of $93,953 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The Company receives quarterly cash inflow of $25,000 from management fees and $11,500 from investment distributions, but expects quarterly cash requirements of approximately $130,000 per quarter commencing in the second quarter of 2009, assuming the acquisitions discussed above are not completed.

The Company expects to have sufficient funding available from related party loans, private placements of its common stock and sales of a portion of its investments until the possible second quarter of 2009 close of the acquisitions of HI and Texas Wings. Subsequent to the close, the overhead requirements will be covered by distributions from the operations of HI and Texas Wings.

In the event the acquisitions do not close, the Company expects to fund its reduced overhead of approximately $130,000 per quarter from management income, distributions from its investments and a short-term loan of no more than $100,000 until May 2009, when the Company is scheduled to receive a distribution from an investment in the amount of approximately $1,275,000. At that time, the Company plans to repay the line of credit, any other short-term borrowings and have sufficient cash to cover all overhead requirements for at least another year while increasing the funds which Advisors manages.

The Company formed Chanticleer Holdings, Ltd., a Jersey corporation, during the first quarter of 2009. The Company plans to transfer the franchise rights for South Africa to this company and raise funds in Germany to develop up to four restaurant locations. The Company has a partner for half of the development costs.

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.

ITEM 2:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and we cannot assure you that the projections included in these forward-looking statements will come to pass. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

We registered our common stock on a Form 10-SB registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 12(g) thereof. We filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic and episodic reports under Rule 13(a) of the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB until we became a BDC when we began filing reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.

On June 1, 2005, we filed a notification on Form N54a with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”) indicating our election to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Under this election, we adopted corporate resolutions to operate as a closed-end management investment company as a BDC. We operated as a non-diversified company as that term is defined in Section 5(b)(2) of the 1940 Act and at all times conducted our business so as to retain our status as a BDC. We could not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC without the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock as defined under the 1940 Act.

Withdrawal of the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act became effective on July 21, 2008, when the Company filed Form N-54c with the SEC, following approval by a majority of the Company’s shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our most critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of our investments.

Liquidity and capital resources

At March 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $1,018,000 as compared to $662,569 at December 31, 2008. Our working capital declined $355,431. The decline consisted primarily of the increase in deferred revenue of $302,083 and the net loss for the period of $93,953.

As discussed in more detail in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on March 11, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the purchase of Hooters, Inc., Hooters Management Corporation and their related restaurants (collectively “HI”) from the nine current individual HI shareholders, many of whom will continue to stay involved in the ongoing operation as shareholders of Chanticleer. The transaction is valued at approximately $55.1 million and could close in the second quarter of 2009.

The Company will create one operating company and combine Texas Wings with HI and its 22 Hooters restaurants, which the Company agreed to acquire in March 2008. Texas Wings is one of the strongest franchises in the Hooters restaurant system and when combined with HI, which was the original creator of the Hooters concept, are expected to become the standard bearer for the Hooters brand.

The closing of the transactions are subject to Chanticleer raising the necessary debt and equity financing to complete the acquisition and other customary closing conditions. Chanticleer has retained an investment banking firm to assist in securing the equity capital necessary to close the proposed transaction.

When HI sold the Hooters brand to Hooters of America, HI retained unique acquisition and operational rights, which will benefit the Company going forward. HI has the right to acquire existing Hooters franchisees without the consent of the franchisor, and HI has significant flexibility in the manner in which it operates its restaurants, rights that will benefit the Texas Wings business upon the closing of the Transaction.

On April 1, 2008, the Company advanced $120,000 to Tyler NV, Inc. for the initial required deposit to Hooters of America for development rights within the state of Nevada for Hooters restaurants. The Company had $50,000 of this amount returned in December 2008 and received the balance of $70,000 in the first quarter of 2009.

On April 12, 2007, the Company filed an Offering Circular under Regulation E promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 to raise up to $5,000,000 by selling between 400,000 and 714,286 shares of its common stock at prices ranging between $7.00 and $12.50 per share. The offering was closed on February 11, 2008 with $650,000 received for 92,859 shares of common stock during the offering period.

On March 27, 2008, the Company filed a new Offering Circular under Regulation E to raise up to $4,500,000 by selling between 500,000 and 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging between $4.50 and $9.00 per share. The Company sold 83,532 shares for $584,700 pursuant to this 1-E, which was closed on July 18, 2008.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Revenues amounted to $103,417 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $153,555 in the year earlier period. In both periods, the Company received equity investments for its management services and cash management fees of $25,000 in each period from an affiliated partnership it manages.

General and administrative expense amounted to $205,004 in the 2009 quarter as compared to $298,641 in the 2008 quarter. The principal decreases were professional fees of $69,705, printing and reproduction of $14,315 and travel and entertainment of $10,732. The professional fees in 2008 were higher due to the initial work being done to raise capital for the pending acquisitions.

Other income (expense) amounted to $7,634 in 2009 and ($16,199) in 2008. The Company recorded an unrealized loss in 2008 from marketable equity securities in the amount of $17,500. All marketable equity securities were sold by the end of 2008.

ITEM 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We are primarily exposed to equity price risk. Equity price risk arises from exposure to securities that represent an ownership interest in our portfolio companies. The value of our equity securities and our other investments are based on quoted market prices or our Board of Directors’ good faith determination of their fair value (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices). Market prices of common equity securities, in general, are subject to fluctuations, which could cause the amount to be realized upon sale or exercise of the instruments to differ significantly from the current reported value. The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of our portfolio companies, the relative price of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security.

ITEM 4:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the CEO concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including insuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
