Hi Rajashri,

About McDs
McDonalds's today is one of the world's great entrepreneurial organizations, with four out of every five restaurants worldwide run by an affiliate partner of the company or a franchisee. There are about 30,000 restaurants in more than 119 countries, serving around 50 million people everyday.

McDonald's today is one of the two most recognised and powerful brands in the world - the other being Coca Cola, the only soft drink supplier to McDonald's today.

As a 50 years old company, McDonald's is one of the world's most well-known and valuable brands and holds a leading share in the globally branded quick service restaurant segment of the informal eating-out market in virtually every country.

Company Description-Growth Drivers-Risks

McDonald's owns its namesake concept, which is the largest worldwide restaurant chain both in terms of units and in terms of systemwide sales. The company also owns majority stakes in the Boston Market and Chipotle fast-casual restaurant concepts. Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's operates in roughly 120 countries through its 30,000-plus restaurants. Growth Drivers -- unit expansion, same-store sales, efforts to increase margins, and other items. Risks -- the competitiveness of the restaurant industry, the possibility of food cost inflation and wage inflation (including the effects of minimum-wage laws), changes in and evolution of consumer preferences, macroeconomic challenges (for example, the potential effect of rising gasoline prices), shifts in investor sentiment (both related and unrelated to business fundamentals), and other items.

McDonald's currently operates 150 restaurants in Russia -a mere fraction of the global unit tally of more than 30,000 units. During 2005, McDonald's Russia opened 18 new units and expects to open 25 additional units in 2006. We expect the restaurant opening pace to pick up in coming years to possiblygreater than 30 units per annum.
