Independent Auditors’ Report



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
BR KOREA CO., LTD.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of BR KOREA CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the statements of income, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BR KOREA CO., LTD. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with Accounting Standards for Non-Public Entities in the Republic of Korea (“KAS - NPEs”).

As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has prepared the financial statements in accordance with KAS - NPEs for the reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. In accordance with the KAS - NPEs ‘Effective date and Transitional Provisions’ paragraph 4 on January 1, 2011, the prior periods’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows under previous generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of Korea (“previous K-GAAP”) have been carried over and presented as is, with no retrospective adjustments due to the application of KAS – NPEs. Effects due to the application of KAS - NPEs are further discussed in Note 2.

KAS - NPEs vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 26 to the financial statements.

Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with the financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about KAS - NPEs and Korean practices.

The accompanying financial statements to be presented at the annual shareholders’ meeting were approved by the board of directors on March 18, 2013.

The Company’s significant accounting policies used for the preparation of the financial statements are as follow.

Application of the New and Revised Accounting Standards

KAS – NPEs No. 21 Employee Benefits

The Company recognizes short term benefit expenses and liabilities when employees have right to claim paid vacation (short-term employee benefits) and if expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related services (Paragraph 21.5 (2)). Paragraph 21.5 (2) states any unrecognized amount of short-term employee benefit expenses and liabilities prior to the adoption of the standards are reflected on the Company’s beginning retained earnings balance. The amendments to KAS – NPEs No. 21 are effective on November 28, 2012 and standards applied for the annual period ending on after the effective date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, checks issued by others, checking accounts, ordinary deposits and financial instruments, which can be easily converted into cash and whose value changes due to changes in interest

7



rates are not material, with maturities (or date of redemption) of three months or less from acquisition. Credit card sales are recognized as trade accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue consists of sales of ice cream and donuts to franchisees and to customers (for its retail stores) and others.

The Company sells individual franchise agreements, under which a franchisee pays an initial non-refundable fee (refer to Commission Income) and subsequently purchases ice cream and donuts from the Company. Once the franchisee begins operations, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of ice cream and donuts to a franchisee as sales during the period. Revenue generated from the sale of ice cream and donuts to franchisees is recognized upon delivery; however, revenue is recognized when the sales terms have been fully met if there are sales terms related with post-delivery. Retail store revenues at company-owned stores are recognized at the point of sale to customers, net of sales tax and other sales-related taxes.

The Company offers customer loyalty programs – bonus points, under which customers can earn from 1% to 5% of any purchase amounts above ₩1,000, as points to use in the future. Such points expire after 18 months from the end of the calendar year of which customer earns points. When a customer earns bonus points under the program, the Company recognizes selling, general and administrative expense in the same amount and a corresponding liability under Allowance for unused points. When points are used, the Company reduces Allowance for unused points and recognizes revenue. At the end of the period, 100% of the unused points are recognized as Allowance for unused points (Note 23) under Other allowance in the Company’s statements of financial position.

Commission Income

The Company sells individual franchise agreements, under which a franchisee pays an initial non-refundable fee. The initial franchise fee is recognized as commission income, upon substantial completion of the services required of the Company as stated in the franchise agreement, which is generally upon the opening of the respective franchise. The Company does not consider its commission income from such initial non-refundable fees as part of its main business operations. Thus, presents the related income as part of non-operating income.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates are stated at face value, net of any discounts given, at the time of issuance and accounted for as Advances from Customers. The gift certificates generally expire within 5 years of issuance. The redemption of gift certificates is reflected as sales at the time the certificates are redeemed at stores by the portion of advances, net of discounts for the relative amount of redemption. Any expired gift certificates are recognized as non-operating income.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover estimated losses on receivables, based on collection experience and analysis of the collectability of individual outstanding receivables.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at cost which is determined by using the moving average method excluding materials in transit which is determined by the specific identification method. The Company maintains perpetual inventory, which is adjusted to physical inventory counts performed at year end. When the market value of inventories (net realizable value for finished goods or merchandise and current replacement cost for raw materials) is less than the carrying value, carrying value is stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company applies the lower of cost or market method by each group of inventories and loss on inventory valuation is presented as a deduction from inventories and charged to cost of sales.

Classification of Securities

At acquisition, the Company classifies securities into one of the following categories: trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and securities accounted for under the equity method, depending on marketability, purpose of acquisition and ability to hold. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held for the purpose of selling them in the near term and actively traded are classified as trading securities. Debt securities with fixed and determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Investments in equity securities over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. Securities accounted for under the equity method are

8



presented as securities accounted for using the equity method in the statement of financial position. Debt and equity securities not classified as the above are categorized as available-for-sale securities.

Valuation of Securities

For available-for-sale securities, the average method is used to determine the cost of debt and equity securities for the calculation of gain (loss) on disposal of those securities.

Debt securities that have fixed or determinable payments with a fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities only if the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. However, debt securities, whose maturity dates are due within one year from the period end date, are classified as current assets.

After initial recognition, held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost in the statements of financial position. When held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized costs, the difference between their acquisition cost and face value is amortized using the effective interest rate method and the amortization is included in the cost and interest income.

When the possibility of not being able to collect the principal and interest of held-to-maturity securities according to the terms of the contracts is highly likely, the difference between the recoverable amount (the present value of expected cash flows using the effective interest rate upon acquisition of the securities) and book value is recorded as loss on impairment of held-to-maturity securities included in the non-operating expense and the held-to-maturity securities are stated at the recoverable amount after impairment loss. If the value of impaired securities subsequently recovers and the recovery can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the reversal of impairment loss is recorded as reversal of impairment loss on held-to-maturity securities included in non-operating income. However, the resulting carrying amount after the reversal of impairment loss shall not exceed the amortized cost that would have been measured, at the date of the reversal, if no impairment loss was recognized.

Tangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost (acquisition cost or manufacturing cost plus expenditures directly related to preparing the assets ready for use). Assets acquired from investment-in-kind, received through donations or acquired free of charge in other ways are stated at the market value of the item which is considered as the fair value.

Expenditures after acquisition or completion that increase future economic benefit in excess of the most recently assessed capability level of the asset are capitalized and other expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

In accordance with the Company’s policy, borrowing costs in relation to the manufacture, purchase, construction or development of assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.

When the expected future cash flow from use or disposal of the property, plant and equipment is lower than the carrying amount due to obsolescence, physical damage or other causes, the carrying amount is adjusted to the recoverable amount (the higher of net sales price or value in use) and the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. When the recoverable amount subsequently exceeds the carrying amount of the impaired asset, the excess is recorded as a reversal of impairment loss to the extent that the reversed asset does not exceed the carrying amount before previous impairment as adjusted by depreciation.

Depreciation is computed using the declining-balance method, except for buildings and structures using straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Useful lives (Years)
Buildings

Structures

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets amount represents lease premiums paid and trademark, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years. A lease premium is an amount a lessee pays to the previous lessee related to the property. A long-term lease contract with a contract period of 5 years or more is amortized over the actual contract period. When the leasing right is transferred to a next lessee, the gain or loss on disposal of the lease premium is recognized in the amount of the difference between the unamortized cost of the lease premium previously paid and the lease premium received from the next lessee.

Accrued Severance Indemnities

In accordance with the Company's policy, all employees with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum severance payment upon termination of their employment, based on their current salary rate and length of service. The accrual for severance indemnities is computed as if all employees were to terminate at the period end dates and amounted to ₩21,206 million[Unaudited] and ₩17,395 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In accordance with the National Pension Law of Korea, a portion of its severance indemnities which has been transferred in cash to the National Pension Fund through March 1999 is presented as a deduction from accrued severance indemnities. Additionally, the Company has insured a portion of its obligations for severance indemnities by contributing to benefit plan assets that will be directly paid to employees from Shinhan Bank and others, and records them as plan assets which are directly deducted from accrued severance indemnities. Actual payments for severance indemnities amounted to ₩1,254 million[Unaudited], ₩3,334 million and ₩4,075 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset and liability and tax base. A deferred tax liability is generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences with some exceptions and a deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent when it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized in the future. Deferred income tax asset (liability) is classified as current or non-current asset (liability) depending on the classification of related asset (liability) in the statements of financial position. Deferred income tax asset (liability), which does not relate to specific asset (liability) account in the statements of financial position such as deferred income tax asset recognized for tax loss carryforwards, is classified as current or non-current asset (liability) depending on the expected reversal period. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the same tax jurisdiction and in the same current or non-current classification are presented on a net basis. Current and deferred income tax expense are included in income tax expense in the statements of income and additional income tax or tax refunds for the prior periods are included in income tax expense for the current period when recognized. However, income tax resulting from transactions or events, which was directly recognized in shareholders’ equity in current or prior periods, or business combinations, is directly adjusted to equity account or goodwill (or negative goodwill).

Accounting for Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its accounts in Korean won. Monetary accounts with balances denominated in foreign currencies are recorded and reported in the accompanying financial statements at the exchange rates prevailing at the period end dates. The balances have been translated using the market exchange rate announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Services Ltd., which is ₩1,017.10 and ₩1,153.30 to US $1.00 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The translation gains or losses are reflected in non-operating income (expense).

Appropriated Retained Earnings

Appropriated retained earnings as of December 31, 2012 [Unaudited] and 2011, which are maintained by the Company in accordance with tax and other relevant regulations, consist of the following:

 
      Korean Won (In thousands)
 
2012

[Unaudited]
 
 
Legal reserve (*1)

17,741,000

 
24,234,977

 
24,234,977


(*1) The Korean Business Law requires the Company to appropriate at least 10 percent of the cash dividends paid as legal reserve until such reserve equals 50 percent of its common stock. This reserve is not available for cash dividends and can only be transferred to capital or can be used to reduce deficit.


17



(*2) In accordance with the Tax Exemption and Reduction Control Law, the amount of tax benefit associated with certain tax credits are appropriated as a reserve for business rationalization.

(*3) In order to obtain a tax credit on excess retained earnings’ tax, the Company previously accrued for a reserve for business development. However, as the relevant tax regulation concerning excess retained earnings’ tax was repealed in early 2002, the Company has not accrued for any additional reserve for business development since 2002. The remaining reserve can be used to offset deficit or can be transferred to paid-in capital. However, if this reserve is used for other purposes, the amount used is subjected to additional corporate tax.

a. Retirement and Severance Benefits

Under the Korean labor law, employees with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump sum payment upon voluntary or involuntary termination of their employment. The amount of the benefit is based on the terminated employee’s length of employment and rate of pay prior to termination. KAS - NPEs requires that a company record the vested benefit obligation at the end of reporting period assuming all employees were to terminate their employment as of that date. The change in the vested benefit obligation during the year is recorded as the current year’s severance expense.

U.S. GAAP generally requires the use of actuarial methods for measuring annual employee benefit costs including the use of assumptions as to the rate of salary progression and discount rate, the amortization of prior service costs over the remaining service period of active employees and the immediate recognition of a liability when the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets. The Company recognizes the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the employee is currently entitled but based on the employee's expected date of separation or retirement.

Under U.S. GAAP, actuarial gains or losses, which result from a change in the value of either the projected benefit obligation or the plan assets resulting from experience different from that assumed or from a change in an actuarial assumption, that are not recognized as a component of net income or loss are recognized as increases or decreases

26



to other comprehensive income, net of tax, in the period they arise. At a minimum, amortization of a net actuarial gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income is included as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that net actuarial gain or loss exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets. If amortization is required, the minimum amortization shall be that excess divided by the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

The effects of retirement and severance benefits to shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 consist of ₩3,647,004 thousand [Unaudited] recognized as retained earnings and (-) ₩7,730,255 thousand [Unaudited] recognized as other comprehensive income, and ₩4,693,495 thousand recognized as retained earnings and (-) ₩7,441,264 thousand recognized as other comprehensive income, respectively. Under U.S. GAAP due to the use of the actuarial method, the Company recognized accrued severance indemnities, net of benefit plan assets of ₩7,716,843 thousand [Unaudited] and ₩6,998,240 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

b. Compensated absences

Under U.S. GAAP, a liability for amounts to be paid as a result of employee’s rights to compensated absences shall be accrued in the year in which earned. Korea Accounting Institutes promulgates New Accounting Standards, KAS – NPEs No.21 Employee Benefits, effective on November 28, 2012 as explained in Note 2. The Company recognized a liability for the compensated absences when employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences.

c. Income Taxes

Under U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted accounting guidance which clarifies the accounting guidance for uncertainties in income taxes. The guidance requires that the tax effect(s) of a position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized. The more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of a benefit. With the adoption of the accounting guidance, companies are required to adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Any necessary adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings and reported as a change in accounting principle.

Under Korean corporation tax law, the tax deductibility of executive bonuses which are paid without an actual executive bonuses payment policy undergoes a qualitative assessment by the tax authorities. The Company paid such executive bonuses, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 in the amount of ₩33,760 thousand [Unaudited], ₩33,248 thousand, and ₩30,084 thousand, respectively. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded additional tax provision related to the uncertain tax position for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, in the amount of ₩10,641 thousand[Unaudited], ₩10,457 thousand, and ₩8,766 thousand, respectively.

Under Korean local tax act, heavy tax is levied on the properties in over-concentrated area unless those properties are used as manufacturing facilities. The Company purchased land in over-concentrated area to build donut factory in 2008 and did not pay heavy tax as the land was purchased to construct manufacturing facilities, not selling and administrative facilities. However, local government imposed ₩746,436 thousand [Unaudited] of heavy tax in May 2012 as government determined that the land was used for other purposes, not as manufacturing facilities. The Company recognized additional provision amount of ₩746,436 thousand [Unaudited] of heavy tax under U.S. GAAP, and paid such amount. The Company is currently planning to file an administrative litigation against government.

d. Scope of consolidation

Under KAS-NPEs, majority-owned subsidiaries with total assets below ₩10 billion at prior year end are not consolidated. Under U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries regardless of total asset size if it has control of the subsidiary. However, the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP does not include the consolidation of a majority-owned subsidiary with total assets below ₩10 billion as the Company believes such amounts are immaterial.


27



e. Tax effect of the reconciling items

The applicable statutory tax rate used to calculate the tax effect of the reconciling items on the net income reconciliation between KAS-NPEs and U.S. GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2012 [Unaudited] and 2011 was 24.2%. Such tax rates are inclusive of resident surtax of 2.2%. The following is a reconciliation of the tax effect of the reconciling items on net income:

(*) The Company applied tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is expected to be settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Hence, since the adjustment in compensated absences for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounting to ₩(116,766) thousand is expected to be settled in 2011, the Company applied 24.2% which is an enacted tax rate for fiscal year 2011. In addition, since the adjustment in retirement and severance benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounting to ₩3,003,808 thousand is expected to be settled in 2012 and thereafter, the Company applied 22.0% which is an enacted tax rate for fiscal year 2012 and thereafter.

f. Subsequent event

ASC 855 (formerly, SFAS Statement No. 165), Subsequent Events, was issued in May 2009 and is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. ASC 855 establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events by setting forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company has adopted ASC 855 and management has performed its evaluation of subsequent events through March 16, 2012, the date these financial statements are issued or available to be issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
