INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors
Brinker International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brinker International, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of June 26, 2002 and June 27, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 26, 2002. 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 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 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 Brinker International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 26, 2002 and June 27,
2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
June 26, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
