FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
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.
