Does Chicken Guy include unaudited financial statements in Exhibit H, and if so, for what period?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit H includes both audited and unaudited financial statements. The audited financial statements are as of December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 25, 2022. The unaudited financial statements are for the period ending July 14, 2025.

It is standard practice for franchisors to include several years of audited financial statements in their FDDs to give potential franchisees insight into the company's financial stability and performance. The inclusion of unaudited statements for a more recent period provides a more up-to-date snapshot, though these have not been verified by an independent auditor.

A prospective Chicken Guy franchisee should carefully review both the audited and unaudited financial statements, paying close attention to trends in revenue, expenses, and profitability. It is important to note that the unaudited statements have not been subject to the same level of scrutiny as the audited statements, so they should be viewed with appropriate caution. Franchisees should also note the disclaimer included with the unaudited financial statements.

It is advisable for potential franchisees to consult with a financial advisor or accountant to fully understand the implications of Chicken Guy's financial statements before making a decision to invest in a franchise.
