Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Burger King Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Burger King Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as
of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three−year period ended June 30, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Burger King Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three−year period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in notes 2 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for
uncertain tax positions by adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, effective July 1, 2007. As discussed in notes 2 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), as of June 30, 2007.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
August 27, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
