Independent Auditors’ Report
 
The Partners
Krispy Kreme México, S. de R. L. de C. V. and subsidiary:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Krispy Kreme México, S. de R. L. de C. V. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Krispy Kreme México, S. de R. L. de C. V. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations, the changes in its partners’ equity, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.
 
Mexican Financial Reporting Standards vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
As mentioned in notes 3(l) and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company carried out significant transactions with related parties.

F-31
 


         
    Significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follow:
         
        (a)         Recognition of the effects of inflation-
       
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) in effect as of the balance sheet date and include the recognition of the effects of inflation on the financial information through December 31, 2007, based on the Mexican National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) published by Banco de México (Central Bank). Cumulative inflation percentage of the three preceding years and the indexes used in recognizing inflation through such years are as follows:

                           Inflation
  December 31           NCPI         Yearly         Cumulative
2009   138.541 3.57% 14.48%
2008   133.761 6.52% 15.01%
2007   125.564 3.75% 11.56%

        (b) Principles of consolidation-
       
        The consolidated financial statements include Krispy Kreme México, S. de R. L. de C. V. and its 99%-owned subsidiary Krispy Kreme de Occidente, S. de R. L. de C. V. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(c) Cash equivalents-
 
Cash equivalents consist of checking accounts, foreign currency and other highly liquid instruments. At the date of the consolidated financial statements, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of operations.
 
F-32



        (d)         Inventories and cost of sales-
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of historical cost determined by the average cost method or market (replacement cost), provided that replacement cost is not greater than net realizable value.
 
Cost of sales represents the replacement cost of inventories at the time of sale, increased, as applicable, for reductions in the replacement cost or net realizable value of inventories during the year.
 
  The Company records the necessary allowances arising from damaged, obsolete, or slow-moving inventories.
       
(e) Improvements, machinery and equipment-
 
Improvements, machinery and equipment are initially recorded at acquisition cost and through December 31, 2007, were adjusted for inflation by applying NCPI factors.
 
Amortization and depreciation on improvements, machinery and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, determined by management. The annual amortization and depreciation rates of the principal asset classes are as follows:

        Rates
                           Leasehold improvements   5 %
Machinery 20 %
Restaurant equipment 20 %
Office furniture and fixtures 10 %
Computer equipment 30 %
Transportation equipment 25 %
Communications equipment 10 %
Forklifts 25 %
 
Minor repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
F-33



              (f)         Other assets-
 
Other assets include mainly franchise licenses and deposits for leased properties and are stated at cost and, through December 31, 2007, adjusted for inflation based on factor derived from the NCPI factors.
 
Franchise licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.
 
(g) Impairment of improvements, machinery and equipment and other assets-
 
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets in use when an impairment indicator suggests that such amounts might not be recoverable, considering the greater of the present value of future net cash flows or the net sales price upon disposal. Impairment is recorded when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the greater of the amounts mentioned above. Impairment charges and asset write-downs are presented in other expenses in our consolidated financial statements.
 
(h) Accruals-
 
Based on management’s estimates, the Company recognizes accruals for present obligations in which the transfer of assets or the rendering of services is virtually assured and arises as a consequence of past events, principally expenditures.
 
(i) Income tax (IT) and income taxes (flat rate business tax (IETU))-
 
IT and IETU payable for the year are determined in conformity with the tax provisions in effect.
 
Deferred IT and IETU, are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and in the case of IT, for operating loss carry forward and other recoverable tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in consolidated income statement in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
F-34



              (j)        Inflation adjustment of capital stock and retained earnings-
 
Through December 31, 2007, the inflation adjustment of capital stock and retained earnings, was determined by multiplying partner contributions and retained earnings (deficit) by factors derived from the NCPI, which measure accumulated inflation from the dates such contributions were made or such retained earnings (deficit) arose through 2007 year end, date on which change was effected to a non-inflationary economy in accordance with FRS B-10 "Effects of Inflation". The amounts thus obtained represented the constant value of Partners’ equity.
 
(k) Revenue recognition-
 
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when they are sold and the related risks and rewards are transferred to the final customer.
 
(l) Business and credit concentrations-
 
The Company’s products are sold to a large number of customers without significant concentration with any of them.
 
The Company acquired from its non-controlling interest investor Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation, 30%, 49% and 53% of its raw material purchases in 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively (note 6).
 
Furthermore, the Company carries out transactions with certain entities, considered related parties as they have common stockholders with Controladora Topolaris, S. A. de C. V.
 
(m) Comprehensive financial results (CFR)-
 
The CFR includes interest, foreign exchange, and through 2007, monetary position.
 
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of execution or settlement. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in operations for the year.
 
F-35



    Monetary position gain and losses for 2007 were determined by multiplying the difference between monetary assets and liabilities at the beginning of each month including deferred taxes, by inflation factor though year end. The aggregate of these results represent the monetary gain or loss for the year arising from inflation, which is reported in operations for the year.
         
(n) Contingencies-
 
         Liabilities for loss contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount thereof can be reasonably estimated. When a reasonable estimation cannot be made, qualitative disclosure is provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Contingent revenues, earnings or assets are not recognized until realization is assured.
 
(4)         Foreign currency exposure and translation-
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in dollars translated into the reporting currency, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Mexican pesos
        2009         2008
             Assets:

F-43



(13)       Operadora de Servicios Mega, S. A. de C. V. Sofom, E. N. R. (MEGA)-
 
  The account payable to MEGA, results from an unsecured loan in pesos bearing interest at 10% per annum, which does not include a specific maturity date. Interest expense on loans for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, amount to $1,263,448 and $244,791, respectively.
 
(14) Tax on earnings (income tax (IT) and flat rate business tax (IETU)-
 
  The consolidated financial statement at December 31, 2009 reflects the income taxes of each entity within the consolidation calculated on a separate company basis.
 
  Under the current tax legislation, companies must pay the greater of IT or IETU. If IETU is payable, the payment will be considered final i.e. not subject to recovery in subsequent years. The IT Law in effect as of December 31, 2009 provides for an IT rate of 28%, while in accordance with the tax reforms effective as of January 1, 2010, the IT rate for fiscal years 2010 to 2012 is 30%, for 2013 the rate shall be 29% and 2014 and thereafter, the rate is 28%. The IETU rate is 17% for 2009 and 17.5% for 2010 and thereafter.
 
  Because management estimates that the tax payable in future years will be IT, deferred tax effects as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been recorded on the IT basis. The subsidiary company estimates that the tax payable in future years will be IETU. Consequently, deferred tax of the subsidiary was recorded on IETU basis and it is presented separately.
 
  The income tax expense is as follows:

            2009       2008
Current IETU $       2,588,161 2,794,839
Current IT 1,748,767 461,250

  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
  The IETU Law establishes a rate of 16.5% for 2008, 17% for 2009 and 17.5% for 2010 and thereafter. As a result of this change in rates, during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company recognized an increase in net deferred tax liabilities of $109,798, which was recorded in the income statement in 2008.
 
(15)       Partners’ equity-
 
  The principal characteristics of Partners’ equity are described below:
 
  (a)       Structure of capital stock-
 
    The capital stock at December 31, 2009, consists of 66,813,211 common, registered social parts, with par value of one peso each, divided into two series; 3,000 social parts of series "A", representative of the fixed portion of Partners’ equity and 66,810,211 social parts, Series "B" representative of the variable portion of Partners’ equity.
 
  (b) Comprehensive income (loss)-
 
    The comprehensive income (loss) reported on the statements of Partners' equity represents the results of the total performance of the Company during the year. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 no items met the requirements of Mexican FRS to be recognized directly to stockholders’ equity; therefore, comprehensive income (loss) is equivalent to net income presented on the income consolidated statements.
 
  (c) Restrictions on stockholders’ equity-
 
    Five percent of net income for the year must be appropriated to the statutory reserve, until it reaches one- fifth of capital stock. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not established a statutory reserve.
 
Partners contributions restated as provided for by the tax law, may be refunded to partners tax-free, to the extent that such contributions equal or exceed partners’ equity.
 
No dividends may be paid while the Company has a deficit.

(16)       Commitments and contingent liabilities
 
  (a)       The Company leases the premises occupied by its stores, under defined term lease agreements. Total rental expense, reported under cost of goods sold, aggregated $18,469,308 in 2009, $15,585,352 in 2008 and $12,171,808 in 2007. Total rents payable through 2013 under these agreements are as follows:
 
            Pesos Dollars
2010 $ 5,529,385        349,416
2011 2,081,701 -
2012 and more   1,119,937 -
 
$      8,731,023 349,416
 
            (b)      
The Company has entered into service agreements with related parties, under which these companies provide Administrative and operating services, necessary for the Company’s operation. These agreements are for an undefined period. Total expense under these agreements, reported under cost of goods sold and expenses in the income statements were $54,635,548 in 2009, $65,136,477 in 2008 and $50,894,698 in 2007.
 
 
(c)
The Company entered into franchising and development agreements with Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation (the Corporation). The agreements grant to the company the right to use and sub-franchise to the “Krispy Kreme” brand in the Mexican Republic for a royalty. The Royalties are estimated at a 6% rate over monthly gross sales. The total royalty expense under this contract was $9,908,741 in 2009, and $11,261,132 in 2008 and $9,492,706 in 2007, and is included in operating expenses in the income statements. According to the agreement, the Company has to pay advertising service equivalent to 0.25% of the sales of each year. Total payments under these agreements are reported under “operating expenses” (See note 6).
 
F-48
 


  (d) The Company signed a fifteen-month term agreement with Volaris (related party) for $1,226,856 in 2009 and $3,977,319 in 2008 to provide glazed donuts in exchange for advertising in an equivalent amount.
 
  (e) In accordance with Mexican tax law, the tax authorities are entitled to examine transactions carried out during the five years prior to the most recent income tax return filed.
 
  (f) In accordance with the Income Tax Law, companies carrying out transactions with related parties are subject to certain requirements as to the determination of prices, which should be similar to those that would be used in arm’s-length transactions.
 
    Should the tax authorities examine the transactions and reject the related-party prices, they could assess additional taxes plus the related inflation adjustment and interest, in addition to penalties of up to 100% of the omitted taxes.
 
(17)       Recently issued accounting standards-
 
  (a)       The CINIF has issued the FRS C-1 “Cash and cash equivalents” – FRS C-1 supersedes Bulletin C-1 “Cash” and is effective as of January 1, 2010. The principal changes with respect to the former standard include the following:
  • FRS C-1 requires the presentation of cash and cash equivalents, restricted, within the balance sheet caption of "Cash and cash equivalents".
     
  • The term “demand temporary investments” is replaced by “available demand investments”.
     
  • To be identified as cash equivalents, the investments should be highly liquid, for example those with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
     
  • FRS C-1 includes the definition of the terms: acquisition cost, restricted cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid investments, net realizable value, nominal value and fair value.
            Management estimates that the initial effects of this new FRS will not be material.
 
F-49
 


(18)       Summary of Significant Differences between Accounting Principles Followed by the Company and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America-
 
  The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Mexican FRS, which generally differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. As described in Note 3(a) to these consolidated financial statements, until December 31, 2007, the Company recognized the effects of inflation on its financial information in accordance with FRS B-10, the guidelines of which are applied prospectively and do not require any adjustments for periods prior to January 1, 2008. For periods prior to January 1, 2008, all of the related U.S. GAAP adjustments have also been restated to reflect the effects of inflation. None of the adjustments to the financial statements for the effects of inflation required under Mexican FRS have been eliminated in determining our U.S. GAAP results for such periods as these adjustments represent a comprehensive measure of the effects of price level changes in the Mexican economy and, as such, were considered a more meaningful presentation than historical cost-based financial reporting for both Mexican and U.S. GAAP purposes.
 
  While conceptual differences in certain areas between Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP are in place, as they relate to the Company and further described below, none of which were deemed significant, individually or in the aggregate, to required adjusting our Mexican FRS partner’s equity as of December 31 2009 and 2008 and our net income (loss) for the years ended December 31 2009, 2008 and 2007 for them to conform with U.S. GAAP. As such, our U.S. GAAP partner’s equity as of December 31 2009 and 2008 and our U.S.-GAAP net income (loss) for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 equal those determined pursuant to Mexican FRS.
 
  (a)       Loss on impairment of long-lived assets-
 
    For U.S. GAAP purposes, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset. Impairment is recorded when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment charges and asset write-downs are presented in selling, general and administrative expenses in operating expenses in our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements.
 
F-50
 


For Mexican FRS purposes, in accordance with Bulletin C-15, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets in use when an impairment indicator suggests that such amounts might not be recoverable, considering the greater of the present value of future net cash flows or the net sales price upon disposal. Impairment is recorded when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the greater of the amounts mentioned above. Impairment charges and asset write-downs are presented in other expenses in our Mexican FRS consolidated financial statements.
 
In 2009, 2008 and 2007, for Mexican FRS purposes, while performing its annual impairment test using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, the Company did not record any impairment charge, respectively as the carrying amount of the long-lived assets did not exceed the present value of their future discounted cash flows. For U.S. GAAP purposes no impairment charge was recorded as the assets were considered to be recoverable given that the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets were greater then the carrying value of the asset.
 
            (b)       Deferred income taxes-
 
Under Mexican FRS as required by Bulletin D-4, “Income Taxes” income taxes are charged to results as they are incurred and the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, measured using enacted rates. The effects of changes in the statutory rates are accounted for in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carry forwards and asset tax credit carry forwards. Under Mexican FRS, the effects of inflation on the deferred tax balance generated by monetary items are recognized in the result of monetary position.
 
Under U.S. GAAP, as required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, measured using enacted rates. The effects of changes in the statutory rates are accounted for in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carry forwards and asset tax credit carry forwards.
 
F-51
 


Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and tax planning strategies that would be taken to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carry forward from expiring unused, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 2009.
 
For U.S. GAAP purposes the Company recognizes deferred taxes each period for the changes in the taxable portions of its distributable stockholders’ equity. The Company’s policy is to compare the deferred tax balance that would be required if all of the stockholders’ equity were distributed. This amount is compared to the total deferred tax balance recorded prior to any adjustment. The difference between the amount recorded and the amount calculated from the stockholders’ equity taxable accounts is recorded as an adjustment to deferred taxes as of the balance sheet date.
 
Except for a difference in the short and long-term balance sheet classification of deferred income taxes, there is no material difference in the Company’s deferred income taxes between U.S. GAAP and Mexican FRS.
 
            (c)       Recently adopted accounting standards-
 
The Codification is the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification became effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and superseded all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included the Codification is non-authoritative. All of the Company references to GAAP now use the Codification's specific Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), Topic or Subtopic, rather than prior accounting and reporting standard. The Codification did not change existing GAAP and, therefore, did not affect the Company financial position a results of operations.

(19)       Recently issued financial reporting standards-
 
  In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, and ASC 810 “Consolidation”, an amendment to ARB No. 51. Statements ASC 805 and ASC 810 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. Statement ASC 805 will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. Statement ASC 810 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including any that arose before the effective date. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned, so the adoption of Statement ASC 810 is not expected to impact its financial position and results of operations. The Company did not have any material effect on its overall financial position or results of operations.
 
  In May 2009 the FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 becomes effective to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial or results of operations.
 
  In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. The Board developed this pronouncement to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing”, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASC 810 on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
