Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011

(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"), Avenel Financial Services LLC ("Financial"), Chanticleer Holdings Limited ("CHL"), Chanticleer Holdings Australia Pty, Ltd. ("CHA"), Chanticleer Investment Partners, LLC ("CIP") and DineOut S.A. Ltd. ("DineOut") (Holdings owns 88.99% at September 30, 2011) (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. and on May 2, 2005, Tulvine Systems, Inc. merged with and changed its name to Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.

Information regarding the Company's subsidiaries is as follows:

Advisors was formed as a Nevada Limited Liability Company on January 18, 2007 to manage related companies, Chanticleer Investors, LLC ("Investors LLC"), Chanticleer Investors II, LLC ("Investors II") and other investments owned by the Company (for additional information, see www.chanticleer advisors.com);

Ventures was formed as a Nevada Limited Liability Company on December 24, 2008 to provide business management and consulting services to its clients;

CHL is wholly owned and was formed as a Limited Liability Company in Jersey on March 24, 2009 and now owns 100% interest in Hooters SA, GP, the general partner of the Hooters restaurant franchises in South Africa. CHL owned 50% of Hooters SA, GP until September 2011, when it acquired the remaining 50%;

DineOut was formed as a Private Limited Liability Company in England and Wales on October 29, 2009 to finance growth activity for the Company around the world.

The intended use of CIP will be to manage separate and customized investment accounts for investors.

(2)

General - The consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements have not been audited.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2010, which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A.

(3)

Going Concern - At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had current assets of $464,868 and $158,718; current liabilities of $1,550,668 and $645,634; and a working capital deficit of $1,085,800 and $486,916, respectively. The Company had a loss of $496,037 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and had an unrealized loss from available-for-sale securities of $224,240 resulting in a comprehensive loss of $720,277.

The Company's general and administrative expenses were $769,732 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $657,249 in the same period of 2010. The Company expects its general and administrative cost to be approximately $250,000 for the remaining quarter of 2011.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had raised the following amounts from limited partners and made its own LP contributions for its share of cost of the Durban and Johannesburg restaurants which opened in 2010 and the Cape Town restaurant which opened in June of 2011. The Johannesburg and Cape Town restaurants are expected to require some additional funding to settle outstanding liabilities, but all are expected to operate with positive cash flow in the future.

	Durban		Johannesburg		Cape Town		Total

Other limited partners	$	351,500	$	412,500	$	433,250	$	1,197,250
Chanticleer LP interest		9,299		68,596		183,861		261,756
	$	360,799	$	481,096	$	617,111	$	1,459,006

The Company expects to meet its obligations in the next twelve months with some or all of the following:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company executed a line of credit with its bank in the amount of $2,000,000 and at September 30, 2011 had borrowed $920,000. This line of credit is planned to be used for the buy-out of the other GP in South Africa and for investments in other countries, as discussed elsewhere herein. The Company plans to sell its common stock in the future with the intended use of the funds to repay existing loans and complete restaurant expansion plans;

The Company currently is receiving its share of earnings from the Durban and Johannesburg, South Africa restaurants which commenced operations in 2010 and will begin receiving its share of earnings from the Cape Town, South Africa location which opened in June of 2011;

The Company is funding the initial formation of Chanticleer Dividend Fund, Inc. ("CDF"), including the registration of its common stock. The Company expects to get most of its capital outlay back after the registration statement becomes effective and CDF begins raising funds; and

The Company has completed a registration statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective on July 14, 2011, to register one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant for each share of the Company issued. The Company raised $20,608, net of legal and professional fees from the sale of the warrants.

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.

(4)

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements at December 31, 2010 and for the periods ended September 30, 2010 to conform to the September 30, 2011 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net earnings (loss).

(5)

Fair value measurements - For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3

Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

We maintain policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. Our investment committee reviews and approves all investment valuations.

Our available-for-sale equity securities are all valued using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs.

Management has determined that it will not, at this time, adopt fair value accounting for nonfinancial assets or liabilities currently recorded in the consolidated financial statements, which includes property and equipment, equity method investments, investments carried at cost, deposits and other assets.

(6)

New accounting pronouncements - There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. At October 31, 2011, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company when adopted.

This is a revolutionary first in the event business and will rent for approximately one-half of the cost of conventional stage systems. HiTech is in its initial funding stage and intends to raise up to $5.5 million to finance the manufacture of the first stage and build the distribution support services.

The Company acquired 275,000 shares of HiTech in exchange for 150,450 shares of DineOut. The transaction was initially recorded as an available-for-sale security at the average net sales price of DineOut shares of $124,573. At December 31, 2010, HiTech closed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at €1.00 ($1.34). Due to the start-up status of HiTech and limited trading volume, the Company valued its investment at $250,000 at December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the value of HiTech had dropped to near zero and the Company determined that its investment was permanently impaired. Accordingly, the Company fully impaired its investment in HiTech.

North American Energy Resources, Inc. - During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company exchanged its oil & gas property investments for 700,000 shares of North American Energy Resources, Inc. ("NAEY") which were valued at $126,000 based on the closing price of NAEY on the date of the trade. The Company initially classified the NAEY as a trading security when it was acquired based on the Company's intent to begin selling the shares before the end of 2009. In November 2009 the Company decided that it would not sell the stock in the near term and determined that the investment should be reclassified as an available-for-sale security and classified as non-current, due to uncertainties about when it would be sold. At the time of the decision to reclassify the investment as available-for-sale, the trading price and value were approximately equal to the cost. Accordingly, upon the transfer at fair value, the shares were transferred at $126,000, the original cost to the Company. At December 31, 2010, the stock had declined to $0.04 per share and the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $98,000, based on the Company's determination that the price decline was temporary. At September 30, 2011, the Company valued the stock at $0.04 with an unrealized loss of $98,000.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company received an additional 150,000 shares of NAEY in exchange for management services. The shares were initially valued at $10,500, based on the trading price at the time. At December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $4,500 based on the market value of $6,000. At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $4,500 based on a market value of $6,000.

During June 2011, the Company's CEO contributed 1,790,440 shares of NAEY to the Company which was valued at $125,331 based on the trading price at the time. At June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $53,713 based on a market value of $71,618. Mr. Pruitt did not receive additional compensation as a result of this transfer.

NAEY appointed a new management team in December 2010. On October 31, 2011, NAEY announced it had agreed to purchase a number of onshore and offshore oil and gas fields from a private seller for $175 Million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments at closing. The acquisition is subject to due diligence, financing and other customary closing conditions. Accordingly, the Company determined that the decline was temporary.

EffTec International, Inc. - Effective April 1, 2010, the Company's CEO became a director and the CEO of EffTec International, Inc. The Company received 150,000 shares of EffTec and an option to acquire an additional 150,000 shares at $0.15 per share in exchange for the management services to be provided. The shares were valued at $22,500 based on the trading price of EffTec at the date of the transaction. At December 31, 2010, the shares were valued at $0.30 per share and the $22,500 increase in value plus the value of the option of $22,500 was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2011 and immediately after, the value of the EffTec stock dropped to near zero. The Company determined the reduction was other than temporary and impaired its investment to zero.

EffTec has developed a powerful, easy to use, Internet-based chiller tool called EffTrack™ that:

Collects, stores and analyzes chiller operating data,

Calculates and trends chiller performance,

Diagnoses the cause of chiller inefficiencies,

Notifies plant contacts when problems occur,

Recommends corrective actions,

Measures the results of corrective actions and

Provides cost analysis of operational improvements.

Chillers are the single largest energy-using component in most industrial or commercial type facilities using water-cooled chillers for comfort or process cooling and can consume up to 50% of the facility’s electrical usage. There is a vast array of operational and mechanical problems that occur causing a chiller to lose performance. Even small inefficiencies can result in thousands of dollars in energy waste.

Remodel Auction Incorporated - Remodel Auction Incorporated was formed to launch and operate an online listing service for remodeling projects. The Company received 167 shares of Remodel Auction common stock in exchange for providing management services for one year, effective January 1, 2009. We valued our initial investment of 167 shares at 50% of the price Remodel was receiving from third parties for its stock, $125,000. Remodel Auction began trading under the symbol REMD on August 10, 2009, and the Company received an additional 167 shares of Remodel common stock pursuant to its management agreement. We recorded the additional 167 shares at the trading price of the stock on that date of $900 per share and recognized $150,000 in management income. Remodel Auction began trading on the Pink Sheets, and the market price was readily determinable. Therefore, the Company transferred this investment from investments accounted for by the cost method to available-for-sale securities. The market value of Remodel Auction was approximately the same as the original cost at the time of the transfer. Accordingly, the transfer was recorded at the original cost. At December 31, 2009, the common stock had declined to $120 per share and the Company determined that the loss was other-than temporary and recorded a loss of $235,000 on its investment in Remodel Auction common stock. During 2010, the Company recognized an additional impairment of $39,100. At December 31, 2010, the Company valued its investment at $1,000 and recorded an unrealized gain of $100. At September 30, 2011, the Company valued its investment at $0 and recorded an impairment loss for the remaining balance of $900.

Syzygy Entertainment, Ltd. - During 2007, the Company acquired 342,814 shares of Syzygy in exchange for a management services contract which covered a one-year period commencing April 1, 2007. The shares were valued at $1.50 per share, a discount to the listed price at that time. Also during 2007, Mr. Pruitt contributed 300,000 shares of Syzygy Entertainment, Ltd. to the Company, which was valued by the investment committee at $600,000 on the dates contributed. Mr. Pruitt did not receive additional compensation as a result of the transfers.

As a result of the above transactions, the Company owns 642,814 shares of Syzygy with an original cost of $1,114,221 and a fair value as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $0. The Company considers this decline in value to be other than temporary and has recognized an impairment loss for the full amount of the investment.

INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE COST METHOD

Investments at cost consist of the following at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

	2011		2010

Chanticleer Investors, LLC	$	500,000	$	500,000
Edison Nation LLC (FKA Bouncing Brain Productions)		250,000		250,000
Chanticleer Investors II		16,598		16,598
	$	766,598	$	766,598

Chanticleer Investors LLC - On April 18, 2006, the Company formed Investors LLC and sold units for $5,000,000. Investors LLC’s principal asset was a convertible note in the amount of $5,000,000 with Hooters of America, Inc. (“HOA”), collateralized by and convertible into 2% of Hooters common stock. The original note included interest at 6% and was due May 24, 2009. The note was extended until November 24, 2010 and included an increase in the interest rate to 8%.

The Company owned $1,150,000 (23%) of Investors LLC until May 29, 2009 when it sold 1/2 of its share for $575,000. Under the original arrangement, the Company received 2% of the 6% interest as a management fee ($25,000 quarterly) and 4% interest on its investment ($11,500 quarterly). Under the extended note and revised operating agreement, the Company received a management fee of $6,625 quarterly and interest income of $11,500 quarterly. In December 2010, the Company sold an additional $75,000 of its investment at cost.

On January 24, 2011, Investors LLC and its three partners combined to form HOA Holdings, LLC ("HOA LLC") and completed the acquisition of Hooters of America, Inc. ("HOA") and Texas Wings, Inc. ("TW"). Together HOA LLC has created an operating company with 161 company-owned locations across sixteen states, or nearly half of all domestic Hooters restaurants and over one-third of the locations worldwide.

The Company received $400,000 in January 2011 for services provided in completion of the purchase of HOA and TW by HOA LLC. The Company has a consulting agreement with HOA LLC and is scheduled to receive $100,000 in January of each year for director and other services provided by Mr. Pruitt. We have accrued eight months of the consulting fee in the amount of $66,667 at September 30, 2011.

Investors, LLC had a note receivable in the amount of $5,000,000 from HOA that was repaid at closing. Investors LLC then invested $3,550,000 in HOA LLC (approximately 3.1%) ($500,000 of which is the Company's share). One of the investors in Investors LLC that owned a $1,750,000 share is a direct investor in HOA LLC and now carries its ownership in HOA LLC directly. The Company now owns approximately 14% of Investors LLC.

EE Investors, LLC - On January 26, 2006, we acquired an investment in EE Investors, LLC with cash in the amount of $250,000. We acquired 1,205 units (3.378%) in EE Investors, LLC, whose sole asset is 40% of Edison Nation, LLC (formerly Bouncing Brain Productions, LLC). Edison Nation was formed to provide equity capital for new inventions and help bring them to market. The initial business plan included developing the products and working with manufacturers and marketing organizations to sell the products. This has evolved into a less hands-on program which involves selling products with patents to other larger companies and retaining royalties. Edison Nation has now reached cash flow break-even, and in addition has been retained by a number of companies for which they do product searches to supplement its business. Edison Nation has repaid the majority of its debt and expects to begin making distributions to its owners during 2011. Based on the current status of this investment, the Company does not consider the investment to be impaired.

Chanticleer Investors II - The Company paid $16,598 in professional services to form this partnership. Chanticleer Advisors, LLC acts as the managing general partner and receives a management fee based on a percentage of profits.

NOTE 8:

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following tables according to FASB ASC 820 pricing levels.

	Fair Value Measurement Using
			Quoted prices
			in active		Significant
			markets of		other		Significant
			identical		observable		Unobservable
	Recorded		assets		inputs		Inputs
	value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

September 30, 2011
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	105,618	$	105,618	$	-	$	-

December 31, 2010
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	352,500	$	101,500	$	251,000	$	-

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company's available-for-sale equity securities were valued using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs as summarized above. Level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets other than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted prices in markets that are not yet active, or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets. The Company recorded an other than temporary decline in available-for-sale securities in the amount of $147,973 at September 30, 2011.

The Company does not have any investments that are measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investment accounted for under the equity and cost methods. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company considered a cost basis investment to be impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $250,000 in the consolidated statement of operations. This impairment was determined using Level 3 inputs to determine the estimated fair value, which was determined to be less than the recorded amounts.

See Note 2 for further details of the Company's investments.

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.

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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had current assets of $464,868 and $158,718; current liabilities of $1,550,668 and $645,634; and a working capital deficit of $1,085,800 and $486,916, respectively.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2011. Our management has determined that, as of September 30, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
