CARROLS RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

Business Description. At July 3, 2011 the Company operated, as franchisee, 303 restaurants under the trade name “Burger King” in 12 Northeastern, Midwestern and Southeastern states. At July 3, 2011, the Company also owned and operated 90 Pollo Tropical restaurants, of which 85 were located in Florida and five were located in New Jersey, and franchised a total of 30 Pollo Tropical restaurants, 21 in Puerto Rico, two in Ecuador, one in Honduras, one in the Bahamas, one in Trinidad, one in Venezuela and three on college campuses in Florida. At July 3, 2011 the Company also owned and operated 157 Taco Cabana restaurants located primarily in Texas and franchised two Taco Cabana restaurants in New Mexico, two in Texas and one in Georgia.

Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Carrols Restaurant Group” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrols Corporation (“Carrols”). In April 2011, Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Fiesta Restaurant Group”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Carrols Corporation, was incorporated. In May 2011, Carrols contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of Pollo Operations, Inc. and Pollo Franchise Inc. (collectively “Pollo Tropical”) and Taco Cabana Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “Taco Cabana”) to Fiesta Restaurant Group in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Fiesta Restaurant Group. Any reference to “Carrols LLC” refers to Carrols’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Carrols Restaurant Group is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through Carrols and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, Carrols Restaurant Group, Carrols and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Carrols are collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On February 24, 2011, the Company announced its intention to split its business into two separate, publicly-traded companies through the tax-free spin-off of Fiesta Restaurant Group to its stockholders. If the spin-off is consummated, Fiesta Restaurant Group will continue to own and operate the Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana businesses and the Company, Carrols and Carrols LLC will continue to own and operate its franchised Burger King restaurants. In the spin-off, it is anticipated that all shares of Fiesta Restaurant Group common stock, which are currently held by Carrols, will be distributed in the form of a pro rata dividend to the stockholders of Carrols Restaurant Group.

The difference between the consolidated financial statements of Carrols Restaurant Group and Carrols is primarily due to additional rent expense of approximately $6 per year for Carrols Restaurant Group and the composition of stockholders’ equity.

Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. All references herein to the fiscal years ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010 will be referred to as the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Similarly, all references herein to the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 will be referred to as the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 contained 52 weeks and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 contained 53 weeks. The three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 each contained thirteen and twenty-six weeks, respectively.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2010 balance sheet data is derived from those audited financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect our own assumptions. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:

•

Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

•

Senior Subordinated Notes. The fair values of outstanding senior subordinated notes are based on quoted market prices. The fair values at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were approximately $165.4 million.

•

Revolving and Term Loan Facilities. Rates and terms under Carrols’ senior credit facility are favorable to debt with similar terms and maturities that could be obtained, if at all, at June 30, 2011. Given the lack of comparative information regarding such debt, including the lack of trading in Carrols’ Term A debt, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our existing borrowings under Carrols’ senior credit facility at June 30, 2011.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates include: accrued occupancy costs, insurance liabilities, income taxes, evaluation for impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and Burger King franchise rights and lease accounting matters. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

On January 15, 2011, the Company granted in the aggregate 360,200 non-vested restricted shares of its common stock to certain employees. In general, these shares vest 25% per year and will be expensed over their 4 year vesting period. Included in the non-vested restricted share grant were 200,000 shares granted to our Chief Executive Officer, of which 100,000 shares will be expensed over a one year period ending January 15, 2012 and 100,000 shares will be expensed through December of 2013.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total non-vested stock-based compensation expense relating to the options and non-vested shares was approximately $4.0 million and the Company expects to record an additional $1.4 million as compensation expense in 2011. At June 30, 2011, the remaining weighted average vesting period for stock options and non-vested shares was 2.6 years and 3.3 years, respectively.

Stock Options

A summary of all option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was as follows:


	2006 Plan
	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Options outstanding at January 1, 2011		2,588,017		$	9.17		4.2	$	2,948

Options exercisable at June 30, 2011		1,607,914			10.75		3.2		3,220

(1)	The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock at July 3, 2011 of $10.64 and the grant price for only those awards that had a grant price that was less than the market price of the Company’s common stock at July 3, 2011.

A summary of all non-vested stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was as follows:


	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Price
Nonvested at January 1, 2011		45,701		$	6.16
Granted		368,534			7.68

Forfeited		(2,850	)		6.62

Nonvested at June 30, 2011		399,446			7.56

3. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Lease Charges

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, for impairment at the restaurant level. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows over the life of the primary asset for each restaurant is compared to that long-lived asset’s carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. For closed restaurant locations, the Company reviews the future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the restaurant closure to the end of the remaining lease term and records a lease charge for the lease liabilities to be incurred, net of any estimated sublease recoveries.

The Company determined the fair value of restaurant equipment, for those restaurants reviewed for impairment, based on current economic conditions and the Company’s history of using these assets in the operation of its business. These fair value asset measurements rely on significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Level 3 assets measured at fair value associated with impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $48.

Impairment and other lease charges recorded on long-lived assets for the Company’s segments were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Burger King	$	155	$	259	$	971	$	281

Taco Cabana		456		1,441		448		1,637

	$	975	$	3,631	$	2,055	$	3,901

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded impairment and lease charges of $1.0 million which consisted primarily of $0.1 million for an underperforming Burger King restaurant, $0.4 million in lease charges for two previously closed Pollo Tropical restaurants, $0.3 million of lease charges for a Taco Cabana restaurant that was closed in the second quarter of 2011, and $0.2 million in lease charges for two previously closed Taco Cabana restaurants.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded impairment and other lease charges of $3.6 million which included $1.4 million for an underperforming Pollo Tropical restaurant and $0.3 million to reduce the fair market value of a previously impaired Pollo Tropical restaurant. The Company also closed one Pollo Tropical restaurant in the second quarter of 2010 whose fixed assets were impaired in 2009, and recorded lease charges of $0.2 million which principally consisted of future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of the restaurant closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of any estimated cost recoveries from subletting the property. In addition, the Company recorded charges of $1.1 million for an underperforming Taco Cabana restaurant, $0.3 million to reduce the fair market value of a previously impaired Taco Cabana restaurant and $0.3 million associated with three underperforming Burger King restaurants.

4. Goodwill and Franchise Rights

Goodwill. The Company is required to review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. If the determined fair value of goodwill is less than the related carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment as of December 31 and does not believe circumstances have changed since the last assessment date which would make it necessary to reassess their values.

There have been no changes in goodwill or goodwill impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Goodwill balances are summarized below:

Burger King Franchise Rights. Amounts allocated to franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining term of the acquired franchise agreements plus one twenty-year renewal period.

The Company assesses the potential impairment of Burger King franchise rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the aggregate undiscounted cash flows from the acquired restaurants is compared to the respective carrying value of franchise rights for each Burger King acquisition. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. No impairment charges were recorded related to the Company’s Burger King franchise rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Amortization expense related to Burger King franchise rights was $799 and $798 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,598 for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company estimates the amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2011 and for each of the five succeeding years to be $3,194.

On August 5, 2011 Carrols LLC and Fiesta Restaurant Group each entered into a new and independent secured credit facility. The new Carrols LLC secured credit facility provides for aggregate term loan borrowings of $65.0 million and a revolving credit facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $20.0 million. The new Fiesta Restaurant Group secured credit facility consists of a revolving credit facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $25.0 million. Also on August 5, 2011, Fiesta Restaurant Group issued $200.0 million of 8.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2016 (the “Fiesta Notes”). Carrols LLC used net proceeds from the term loan borrowings of $65.0 million under the Carrols LLC secured credit facility and Fiesta Restaurant Group used net proceeds from the sale of the Fiesta Notes to distribute funds to Carrols to enable Carrols to (i) repay all outstanding indebtedness under Carrols prior senior credit facility, (ii) repurchase its outstanding 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "Carrols Notes") pursuant to a cash tender offer and related consent solicitation and to pay the related tender premium and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. On August 5, 2011 there were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings under the new Carrols LLC secured credit facility or the new Fiesta Restaurant Group secured credit facility.

In connection with these transactions, on July 22, 2011 Carrols commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of its outstanding Carrols Notes. On August 5, 2011, $118.4 million were accepted for payment and paid by Carrols. Carrols LLC distributed to Carrols net proceeds from the term loan borrowings of $65.0 million under the Carrols LLC secured credit facility and Fiesta Restaurant Group distributed to Carrols net proceeds from the sale of the $200.0 million Fiesta Notes to enable Carrols to redeem the balance of its outstanding Carrols Notes not tendered in the tender offer, which will expire on August 18, 2011, unless terminated or extended. As of August 5, 2011, $46.6 million of the Carrols Notes had not yet been tendered.

In accordance with ASC – 470, the Company has classified as current, at June, 30, 2011, the principal payment requirements for the next twelve months of the new borrowings discussed above. This resulted in a reclassification of $24.7 million of debt from short-term to long-term.

These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications including, without limitation, permitting the spin-off transaction discussed in Note 1.

The indenture governing the Fiesta Notes contains customary default provisions, including without limitation, a cross default provision pursuant to which it is an event of default under these notes and the indenture if there is a default under any indebtedness of Fiesta Restaurant Group having an outstanding principal amount of $15.0 million or more which results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its stated maturity or is caused by a failure to pay principal when due.

Carrols Senior Credit Facility. Carrols’ prior senior credit facility totaled $185 million, originally consisting of $120 million principal amount of term loan A borrowings maturing on March 9, 2013 (or earlier on September 30, 2012 if the Carrols Notes are not refinanced by June 30, 2012) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (including a sub limit of up to $25.0 million for letters of credit and up to $5.0 million for swingline loans), maturing on March 8, 2012.

The term loan and revolving credit borrowings under the prior senior credit facility bore interest at a per annum rate, at Carrols’ option, of either:

1) the applicable margin percentage ranging from 0% to 0.25% based on Carrols’ senior leverage ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) plus the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the federal funds rate for that day plus 0.5%; or

2) Adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin percentage in effect ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on Carrols’ senior leverage ratio. At June 30, 2011 the LIBOR margin percentage was 1.0%.

1) three quarterly installments of approximately $4.2 million beginning on September 30, 2011; and

2) four quarterly installments of approximately $16.9 million beginning on June 30, 2012.

Under the prior senior credit facility, Carrols was required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on term loan A facility borrowings (a) annually in an amount up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow depending upon Carrols’ Total Leverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the prior senior credit facility), (b) in the event of certain dispositions of assets (all subject to certain exceptions) and insurance proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by Carrols therefrom, and (c) in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds from any subsequent issuance of debt. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there was not a required prepayment based on the Excess Cash Flow for 2010, as defined. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Carrols was required to make a principal prepayment of approximately $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2010.

The prior senior credit facility contained certain covenants, including, without limitation, those limiting Carrols’ ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of its business, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, Carrols was required to meet certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage, senior leverage, and total leverage ratios (all as defined under the senior credit facility). Carrols was in compliance with the covenants under its prior senior credit facility as of July 3, 2011.

(in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)

Restrictive covenants under the Carrols Notes included limitations with respect to the Carrols’ ability to issue additional debt, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, pay dividends and make certain investments. Carrols was in compliance as of July 3, 2011 with the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Carrols Notes.

On July 22, 2011, Carrols commenced an offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $165 million outstanding principal amount of the Carrols Notes and solicited consents to effect certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes. The tender offer will expire on August 18, 2011, unless terminated or extended. Holders who validly tendered the Carrols Notes on or before August 4, 2011 received total consideration of $1,003.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of such notes accepted for purchase. Total consideration included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount, which was payable only to holders who tendered their Notes and validly delivered their consents prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation at 5:00 p.m. on August 4, 2011. On August 5, 2011, $118.4 million principal amount of the Carrols Notes that were validly tendered were accepted for payment and paid by Carrols. Holders who validly tender the Carrols Notes after 5:00 p.m. on August 4, 2011, but before August 18, 2011, will receive $973.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of such notes accepted for purchase. Accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date, will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Carrols Notes.

The amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes, among other things, eliminated a significant portion of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Carrols Notes and eliminated certain events of default. The elimination (or, in certain cases, amendment) of these restrictive covenants and other provisions permit Carrols and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, incur liens or make investments, in each case which otherwise may not have been permitted pursuant to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes. The amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes are binding upon the holders of the Carrols Notes not tendered into the tender offer.

6. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was comprised of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010		2011			2010
Current	$	(1,143	)	$	1,135	$	(66	)	$	2,587
Deferred		3,006			102		3,006			82

	$	1,863		$	1,237	$	2,940		$	2,669

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2011 of 29.7%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments decreased the provision for income taxes by $241 in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was derived using an estimated effective annual income tax rate for 2010 of 36.9%, which excludes any discrete tax adjustments. Discrete tax adjustments decreased the provision for income taxes by $116 and $70 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

The tax years 2007-2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. Although it is not reasonably possible to estimate the amount by which unrecognized tax benefits may increase within the next twelve months due to the uncertainties regarding the timing of any examinations, the Company does not expect unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On November 16, 1998, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the “Court”), under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, against Carrols. The complaint alleged that Carrols engaged in a pattern or practice of unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation against former and current female employees. The EEOC ultimately attempted to present evidence of 511 individuals that it believed constituted the “class” of claimants for which it was seeking monetary and injunctive relief from Carrols. On April 20, 2005, the Court issued a decision and order granting Carrols’ Motion for Summary Judgment that Carrols filed in January 2004, dismissing the EEOC’s pattern or practice claim. Carrols then moved for summary judgment against the claims of the 511 individual claimants. On March 2, 2011, the Court issued a decision and order granting summary judgment against the claims of all but 131 of the 511 individual claimants and dismissed 380 of the individual claimants from the case. Both the EEOC and Carrols have since filed motions for reconsideration in part of the Court’s March 2, 2011 decision and order, as a result of which the number of surviving claimants may increase to as many as 184 or decrease to as few as four. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these motions at this time.

Subject to possible appeal by the EEOC, the EEOC’s pattern or practice claim is dismissed; however, the Court has yet to determine how the claims of the individual claimants ultimately determined to survive will proceed. Although the Company believes that the EEOC’s continued class litigation argument is without merit, it is not possible to predict the outcome of that matter on an appeal, if one is taken. The Company does not believe that any of the remaining individual claims would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is a party to various other litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these other matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

12. Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. To the extent such outstanding stock options are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share.

repay amounts outstanding under Carrols senior credit facility and Carrols Notes, as well as to pay all related fees and expenses. Excess cash from the financings is expected to be approximately $10 million to $11 million.

Fiesta Restaurant Group sold $200 million of 8.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2016 and entered into a $25 million secured revolving credit facility which was undrawn at closing. Carrols LLC entered into an $85 million secured credit facility including term loan borrowings of $65 million and an undrawn $20 million revolving credit facility. Proceeds from these borrowings were or will be used to repay approximately $80.2 million outstanding under Carrols’ senior credit facility, to repurchase $118.4 million of the Carrols Notes tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer (such tender offer is not yet complete), to pay accrued interest and to pay related fees and expenses. In addition, the $46.6 million of the Carrols Notes not yet tendered will be repurchased upon completion of the cash tender offer or redeemed subsequent to its expiration along with payment for accrued interest and fees related to the tender offer.

As a result of these refinancing transactions, Carrols expects to record a loss on extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2011 representing the write-off of previously deferred financing fees and the tender premium on redemption of the 9% senior subordinated notes.

1. Basis of Presentation

Business Description. At July 3, 2011 the Company operated, as franchisee, 303 restaurants under the trade name “Burger King” in 12 Northeastern, Midwestern and Southeastern states. At July 3, 2011, the Company also owned and operated 90 Pollo Tropical restaurants, of which 85 were located in Florida, five were located in New Jersey, and franchised a total of 30 Pollo Tropical restaurants, 21 in Puerto Rico, two in Ecuador, one in Honduras, one in the Bahamas, one in Trinidad, one in Venezuela and three on college campuses in Florida. At July 3, 2011 the Company also owned and operated 157 Taco Cabana restaurants located primarily in Texas and franchised two Taco Cabana restaurants in New Mexico, two in Texas and one in Georgia.

Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Carrols Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Carrols Restaurant Group” or the “Parent Company”). In April 2011, Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Fiesta Restaurant Group”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Carrols Corporation, was incorporated. In May 2011, the Company contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of Pollo Operations, Inc. and Pollo Franchise Inc. (collectively “Pollo Tropical”) and Taco Cabana Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “Taco Cabana”) to Fiesta Restaurant Group in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Fiesta Restaurant Group. Any reference to “Carrols LLC” refers to Carrols’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Carrols LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On February 24, 2011, Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. and the Company announced its intention to split its business into two separate, publicly-traded companies through the tax-free spin-off of Fiesta Restaurant Group to its stockholders. If the spin-off is consummated, Fiesta Restaurant Group will own and operate the Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana businesses. Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc., the Company and Carrols LLC will continue to own and operate its franchised Burger King restaurants. In the spin-off, it is anticipated that all shares of Fiesta Restaurant Group common stock, which are currently held by the Company, will be distributed in the form of a pro rata dividend to the stockholders of Carrols Restaurant Group.

The difference between the consolidated financial statements of Carrols Corporation and Carrols Restaurant Group is primarily due to additional rent expense of approximately $6 per year for Carrols Restaurant Group and the composition of stockholder’s equity.

Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. All references herein to the fiscal years ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010 will be referred to as the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Similarly, all references herein to the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 will be referred to as the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2010 contained 52 weeks and the year ended December 31, 2009 contained 53 weeks. The three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 each contained thirteen and twenty-six weeks, respectively.

•

Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

•

Revolving and Term Loan Facilities. Rates and terms under the Company’s senior credit facility are favorable to debt with similar terms and maturities that could be obtained, if at all, at June 30, 2011. Given the lack of comparative information regarding such debt, including the lack of trading in our Term A debt, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of existing borrowings under the Company’s senior credit facility at June 30, 2011.

Earnings Per Share Presentation. Presentation of earnings per share is required for all entities that have issued common stock or potential common stock if those securities trade in a public market either on a stock exchange (domestic or foreign) or in the over-the-counter market. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded and therefore, earnings per share amounts are not presented.

Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

On January 15, 2011, Carrols Restaurant Group granted in the aggregate 360,200 non-vested restricted shares of its common stock to certain employees. In general, these shares vest 25% per year and will be expensed over their 4 year vesting period. Included in the non-vested restricted share grant were 200,000 shares granted to our Chief Executive Officer, of which 100,000 shares will be expensed over a one year period ending January 15, 2012 and 100,000 shares will be expensed through December of 2013.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total non-vested stock-based compensation expense relating to the options and non-vested shares was approximately $4.0 million and the Company expects to record an additional $1.4 million as compensation expense in 2011. At June 30, 2011, the remaining weighted average vesting period for stock options and non-vested shares was 2.6 years and 3.3 years, respectively.

On August 5, 2011 Carrols LLC and Fiesta Restaurant Group each entered into a new and independent secured credit facility. The new Carrols LLC secured credit facility provides for aggregate term loan borrowings of $65.0 million and a revolving credit facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $20.0 million. The new Fiesta Restaurant Group secured credit facility consists of a revolving credit facility that provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $25.0 million. Also on August 5, 2011, Fiesta Restaurant Group issued $200.0 million of 8.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2016 (the “Fiesta Notes”). Carrols LLC used net proceeds from the term loan borrowings of $65.0 million under the Carrols LLC secured credit facility and Fiesta Restaurant Group used net proceeds from the sale of the Fiesta Notes to distribute funds to the Company to enable the Company to (i) repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s prior senior credit facility, (ii) repurchase its outstanding 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "Carrols Notes") pursuant to a cash tender offer and related consent solicitation and to pay the related tender premium and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. On August 5, 2011 there were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings under the new Carrols LLC secured credit facility or the new Fiesta Restaurant Group secured credit facility.

In connection with these transactions, on July 22, 2011 the Company commenced a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of its outstanding Carrols Notes. On August 5, 2011, $118.4 million principal amount of the Carrols Notes were accepted for payment and paid by the Company. Carrols LLC distributed to the Company net proceeds from the term loan borrowings of $65.0 million under the Carrols LLC secured credit facility and Fiesta Restaurant Group distributed to the Company net proceeds from the sale of the $200.0 million Fiesta Notes to enable the Company to redeem the balance of its outstanding Carrols Notes not tendered in the tender offer, which will expire on August 18, 2011, unless terminated or extended. As of August 5, 2011, $46.6 million of Carrols Notes had not yet been tendered.

These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications including, without limitation, permitting the spin-off transaction discussed in Note 1.

Carrols Senior Credit Facility. The Company’s prior senior credit facility totaled $185 million, originally consisting of $120 million principal amount of term loan A borrowings maturing on March 9, 2013 (or earlier on September 30, 2012 if the Carrols Notes are not refinanced by June 30, 2012) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (including a sub limit of up to $25.0 million for letters of credit and up to $5.0 million for swingline loans), maturing on March 8, 2012.

The term loan and revolving credit borrowings under the prior senior credit facility bore interest at a per annum rate, at the Company’s option, of either:

1) the applicable margin percentage ranging from 0% to 0.25% based on the Company’s senior leverage ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) plus the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the federal funds rate for that day plus 0.5%; or

2) Adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin percentage in effect ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% based on the Company’s senior leverage ratio. At June 30, 2011 the LIBOR margin percentage was 1.0%.

At July 3, 2011, outstanding borrowings under Term loan A of the prior senior credit facility were $80.2 million with the remaining balance due and payable as follows:

1) three quarterly installments of approximately $4.2 million beginning on September 30, 2011; and

2) four quarterly installments of approximately $16.9 million beginning on June 30, 2012.

Under the prior senior credit facility, the Company was required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on term loan A facility borrowings (a) annually in an amount up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow depending upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the prior senior credit facility), (b) in the event of certain dispositions of assets (all subject to certain exceptions) and insurance proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company therefrom, and (c) in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds from any subsequent issuance of debt. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there was not a required prepayment based on the Excess Cash Flow for 2010, as defined. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company was required to make a principal prepayment of approximately $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2010.

The prior senior credit facility contained certain covenants, including, without limitation, those limiting the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of its business, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Company was required to meet certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage, senior leverage, and total leverage ratios (all as defined under the senior credit facility). The Company was in compliance with the covenants under its prior senior credit facility as of July 3, 2011.

After reserving $13.5 million for letters of credit guaranteed by the facility, $51.5 million was available for borrowings under the prior revolving credit facility at July 3, 2011.

Carrols Senior Subordinated Notes. On December 15, 2004, the Company issued $180 million of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 that bear interest at a rate of 9% payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 and mature on January 15, 2013. At both July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, $165.0 million principal amount of the Carrols Notes were outstanding.

(in thousands of dollars, except share and per share amounts)

Restrictive covenants under the Carrols Notes included limitations with respect to the Company’s ability to issue additional debt, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, pay dividends and make certain investments. The Company was in compliance as of July 3, 2011 with the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Carrols Notes.

On July 22, 2011, The Company commenced an offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $165 million outstanding principal amount of the Carrols Notes and solicited consents to effect certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes. The tender offer will expire on August 18, 2011, unless terminated or extended. Holders who validly tendered the Carrols Notes on or before August 4, 2011 received total consideration of $1,003.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of such notes accepted for purchase. Total consideration included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount, which was payable only to holders who tendered their Notes and validly delivered their consents prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation at 5:00p.m. on August 4, 2011. On August 5, 2011, $118,366,000 principal amount of the Carrols Notes that were validly tendered on or prior to 5:00p.m. on August 4, 2011 were accepted for payment and paid by the Company. Holders who validly tender the Carrols Notes after 5:00p.m. on August 4, 2011, but before August 18, 2011, will receive $973.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of such notes accepted for purchase. Accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date, will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Carrols Notes.

The amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes, among other things, eliminated a significant portion of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the Carrols Notes and eliminated certain events of default. The elimination (or, in certain cases, amendment) of these restrictive covenants and other provisions permit the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, incur liens or make investments, in each case which otherwise may not have been permitted pursuant to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes. The amendments to the indenture governing the Carrols Notes are binding upon the holders of the Carrols Notes not tendered into the tender offer.

9. Lease Financing Obligations

The Company has previously entered into sale-leaseback transactions involving certain restaurant properties that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting and as a result, were classified as financing transactions. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and proceeds received by the Company from these transactions are recorded as a financing liability. Payments under these leases are applied as payments of imputed interest and deemed principal on the underlying financing obligations.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On November 16, 1998, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (the “Court”), under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, against the Company. The complaint alleged that the Company engaged in a pattern or practice of unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation against former and current female employees. The EEOC ultimately attempted to present evidence of 511 individuals that it believed constituted the “class” of claimants for which it was seeking monetary and injunctive relief from the Company. On April 20, 2005, the Court issued a decision and order granting the Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment that the Company filed in January 2004, dismissing the EEOC’s pattern or practice claim. The Company then moved for summary judgment against the claims of the 511 individual claimants. On March 2, 2011, the Court issued a decision and order granting summary judgment against the claims of all but 131 of the 511 individual claimants and dismissed 380 of the individual claimants from the case. Both the EEOC and the Company have since filed motions for reconsideration in part of the Court’s March 2, 2011 decision and order, as a result of which the number of surviving claimants may increase to as many as 184 or decrease to as few as four. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these motions at this time.

There are currently no recent accounting pronouncements which had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of this report.

15. Subsequent Events

As discussed in Note 5, on August 5, 2011, the Company completed a refinancing of its existing indebtedness. Carrols LLC and Fiesta Restaurant Group each entered into new and independent financing arrangements. The proceeds from these financings were or will be used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s senior credit facility and the Carrols Notes, as well as to pay all related fees and expenses. Excess cash from the financings is expected to be approximately $10 million to $11 million.

Fiesta Restaurant Group sold $200 million of 8.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2016 and entered into a $25 million secured revolving credit facility which was undrawn at closing. Carrols LLC entered into an $85 million secured credit facility including term loan borrowings of $65 million and an undrawn $20 million revolving credit facility. Proceeds from these borrowings were or will be used to repay approximately $80.2 million outstanding under Carrols Corporation's senior credit facility, to repurchase $118.4 million of the Carrols Notes tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer (such tender offer is not yet complete), to pay accrued interest and to pay related fees and expenses. In addition, the $46.6 million of the Carrols Notes not yet tendered will be repurchased upon completion of the cash tender offer or redeemed subsequent to its expiration along with payment for accrued interest and fees related to the tender offer.

As a result of these refinancing transactions, the Company expects to record a loss on extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2011 representing the write-off of previously deferred financing fees and the tender premium on redemption of the 9% senior subordinated notes.

16. Guarantor Financial Statements

The Company’s obligations under the Carrols Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed in full on an unconditional basis by all of the Company’s material subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”), all of which are directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Company. These subsidiaries are:

Cabana Beverages, Inc.

Cabana Bevco LLC

Carrols Realty I Corp.

The following supplemental financial information sets forth on a consolidating basis, balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for the Parent Company only, Guarantor Subsidiaries and for the Company and the related statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

For certain of the Company’s sale-leaseback transactions, the Parent Company has guaranteed on an unsecured basis the rental payments of its subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC 840-40-25-16, “Sale-Leaseback Transactions,” the Company has included in the following guarantor financial statements amounts pertaining to these leases as if they were accounted for as financing transactions of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. These adjustments are eliminated in consolidation.

For purposes of the guarantor financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries determine the applicable tax provision for each entity generally using the separate return method. Under this method, current taxes are allocated to each reporting entity as if it were to file a separate tax return. The rules followed by the reporting entity in computing its tax obligation or refund would be the same as those followed in filing a separate income tax return. However, for purposes of evaluating an entity’s ability to realize its tax attributes, the Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized at the consolidated level. Any differences in the total of the income tax provision for the Parent Company only and the Guarantor Subsidiaries, as calculated on the separate return method, and the consolidated income tax provision are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides administrative support to its subsidiaries related to executive management, information systems and certain accounting, legal and other administrative functions. For purposes of the guarantor financial statements, the Company allocates such corporate costs on a specific identification basis, where applicable, or based on revenues or the number of restaurants for each subsidiary. Management believes that these allocations are reasonable based on the nature of costs incurred. Beginning in January 2011, all administrative costs have been allocated to our guarantor subsidiaries using such methods.
