REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Brinker International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brinker
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and June 25, 2003, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2004. 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 Brinker International,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and June 25, 2003, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has
restated its consolidated financial statements for each of the years in the three
year period ended June 30, 2004.
