.PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or in the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) operate and franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out and express restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operate and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. We provide or facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors.
As of June 29, 2014,25, 2017, we owned and operated 15 restaurants comprised of 13 Pie Five restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and two Pizza Inn buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”). As of that date, we also had seven71 franchised Pie Five Units and 251221 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. The 180161 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 103 93 pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units, 24Units”), 11 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 5357 express restaurants (“Express Units”). The 7160 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 1812 Buffet Units, 4540 Delco Units and 8eight Express Units. Domestic Pizza Inn restaurants were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina Arkansas and Mississippi accounting for approximately 34%23%, 14%17%, 12%17% and 6%9%, respectively, of the total number of domestic restaurants.
Our History
The Company has offered consumers affordable, high quality pizza since 1958, when the first Pizza Inn restaurant opened in Dallas, Texas. We awarded our first franchise in 1963 and opened our first buffet restaurant in 1969. We began franchising the Pizza Inn brand internationally in the late 1970s. In 1993, our stock began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and presently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “PZZI.“RAVE.” In June 2011, we opened the first Pie Five restaurant in Ft. Worth, Texas. In November 2012, we signed our first franchise development agreement for Pie Five.

Our Concepts
We operate and franchise restaurant concepts under two distinct brands: Pie Five and Pizza Inn.
Pie Five
Pie Five is a fast-casual pizza concept that creates individualized pizzas which are baked in 140 seconds in our specially designed oven. Pizzas are created at the direction of our customers who choose from a variety of freshly prepared and displayed toppings, cheeses, sauces and doughs and complete their purchase process in less than five minutes. Customers can also get freshly prepared side salads, also made to order from our recipes or at the customer's direction. They can also choose from several baked daily desserts like brownies, cookie pies, and cakes. A variety of soft beverages are available, as well as beer and wine in some locations.Pie Five restaurants offer items at prices from $5.99 to $12.99, and the average ticket price per meal, including a drink, was approximately $8.45 per person for fiscal year 2017. The average per person ticket is slightly higher in restaurants offering beer and wine.
Pie Five restaurants typically occupy leased, in-line or end-cap space of between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet in retail strip or multi-unit retail space. The restaurants typically are located in high traffic, high visibility urban or suburban sites in mid- to large-size metropolitan areas. With seating for 65 to 85 customers in most units, and patio seating where available, Pie Five restaurants primarily serve lunch and dinner to families, adults and kids of all ages. Sales are predominantly on-premise though carry out and delivery is offered as well. Future sales growth initiatives may include expanded text ordering, catering services, and offerings of wings, sandwiches, and large pizzas. Due to the relatively compact footprint of the restaurants, and other operating advantages, we believe Pie Five is also well suited for non-traditional locations such as airports.
Pizza Inn and Pie Five.
We operatefranchise Buffet Units, Delco Units and Express Units under the Pizza Inn brand. Buffet Units and Delco Units feature crusts that are hand-made from dough made fresh in the restaurant each day. Our pizzas are made with a proprietary all-in-one flour mixture, real mozzarella cheese and a proprietary mix of classic pizza spices. In international markets, the menu mix of toppings and side items is occasionally adapted to local tastes.
Buffet Units offer dine-in, carryout and catering service and, in many cases, also offer delivery service. Buffet Units offer a variety of pizza crusts with standard toppings and special combinations of toppings in addition to pasta, salad, sandwiches, appetizers, desserts and beverages, including beer and wine in some locations, in an informal, family-oriented atmosphere. We occasionally offer other items on a limited promotional basis. Buffet Units are generally located in free standing buildings or strip center locations in retail developments in close proximity to offices, shopping centers and residential areas. The current standard Buffet Units are between 2,100 and 4,500 square feet in size and seat 120 to 185 customers. The interior decor is designed to promote a casual, lively, contemporary, family-style atmosphere. Some Buffet Units feature game rooms that offer a range of electronic game entertainment for the entire family. The buffet is typically offered at prices from $4.99$6.99 to $7.99,$9.99, and the average ticket price, including a drink, was approximately $9.38$10.00 per person for fiscal year 2014.2017. The average per person ticket is slightly higher in restaurants offering beer and wine.
Delco Units offer delivery and carryout service only and are typically located in shopping centers or other in-line retail developments. Delco Units typically offer a variety of crusts and some combination of side items. Delco Units occupy approximately 1,200 square feet, are primarily production facilities and, in most instances, do not offer seating. The decor of the Delco Unit is designed to be bright and highly visible and feature neon lighted displays and awnings. We have attempted to locate Delco Units strategically to facilitate timely delivery service and to provide easy access for carryout service.
Express Units serve our customers through a variety of non-traditional points of sale. Express Units are typically located in a convenience store, food court, college campus, airport terminal, travel plaza, athletic facility or other commercial facility. They have limited or no seating and solely offer quick carryout service of a limited menu of pizza and other foods and beverages. An Express Unit typically occupies approximately 200 to 400 square feet and is commonly operated by the operator or food service licensee of the commercial host facility. We have developed a high-quality pre-prepared crust that is topped and cooked on-site, allowing this concept to offer a lower initial investment and reduced labor and operating costs while maintaining product quality and consistency. Like Delco Units, Express Units are primarily production-oriented facilities and, therefore, do not require all of the equipment, labor or square footage of the Buffet Unit.

Site Selection
We consider the restaurant site selection process critical to a restaurant’s long-term success and devote significant resources to the investigation and evaluation of potential sites. The site selection process includes a review of trade area demographics through the use of a third party customer and site selection tool, as well as a proprietary evaluation process. We may also rely on a franchisee’s knowledge of the trade area and market characteristics when selecting a location for a franchised restaurant. A member of our development team visits each potential domestic restaurant location.
Development and Operations
New Unit Development
We intend to expand the Pizza Inn system domestically and internationally in markets with significant long-term growth potential and where we believe we can use our competitive strengths to establish brand recognition and gain local market share. While weWe plan to expand our Pizza Inn branded domestic restaurant base primarily through opening new franchised restaurants with new and existing franchisees, we will continuefranchisees. We expect to evaluate our mixthe expanded development of Company-owned and franchised restaurants. We anticipate continuing to develop new Pizza Inn Buffet and Delco Units in international markets in fiscal 2015,2018, particularly in the Middle East.
In appropriate circumstances, we grant area developer rights for Pizza Inn restaurants in new and existing domestic markets. A Pizza Inn area developer typically pays a negotiated fee to purchase the right to operate or develop restaurants within a defined territory and, typically, agrees to a multi-restaurant development schedule. The area developer assists us in local franchise service and quality control in exchange for half of the franchise fees and royalties from all restaurants within the territory during the term of the agreement.
In fiscal 2015,2018, we intend to continue developing franchised Pie Five Units.Units domestically and internationally. As of August 22, 2014,June 25, 2017, we had nine71 franchised units open and had executed multi-year development agreements with 22 franchisees for up to an additional 213174 domestic Pie Five Units with 16 franchisees to be located in the U.S., including Alabama, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D.C. and Mississippi.Units.. The number of Pie Five Units subject to a development agreement is scaled relative to the estimated development potential of the specified geographic area and requires the franchisee to achieve specified unit development milestones over a period of time, typically five years, to maintain their development rights in the area. The rate at which we will be able to continue to expand the Pie Five concept through franchise development is determined in part by our success at selecting qualified franchisees, by our ability to identify satisfactory sites in appropriate markets and by our ability to continue training and monitoring our franchisees. We intend to continue to focus on franchise development opportunities with experienced, well-capitalized, multi-restaurant operators.
Domestic Franchise Operations

Since the Pizza Inn concept was first franchised in 1963, industry franchising concepts and development strategies have changed,evolved, and our present franchise relationships are evidenced by a variety of contractual forms. Common to those forms are provisions that: (i) require the franchisee to follow the Pizza Inn system of restaurant operation and management, (ii) require the franchisee to pay a franchise fee and continuing royalties, and (iii) except for Express Units, prohibit the development of one restaurant within a specified distance from another.
5 |
We launched the franchise program for Pie Five in fiscal 2013. Based on the Pie Five development agreements currently in effect, we anticipate allocating significant internal resources to the growth of our Pie Five franchise and development operation in fiscal 2015.2018. Our Pie Five franchise agreement requires that the franchisees: (i) follow the Pie Five system of restaurant operation and management, (ii) pay a franchise fee and continuing royalties, (iii) contribute a specified percentage of sales to a marketing fund managed by the Company, and (iv) only open restaurants that comply with site and design standards determined by the Company.
Training.
We offer numerous training programs for the benefit of franchisees and their restaurant crew managers. The training programs, taught by experienced Company employees, focus on food preparation, service, cost control, sanitation, safety, local store marketing, personnel management and other aspects of restaurant operation. The training programs include group classes, supervised work in Company-owned restaurants and special field seminars. Initial and certain supplemental training programs are offered free of charge to franchisees, who pay their own travel and lodging expenses. New franchisees also receive on-site training from Company employees to assist with their first two restaurant openings under their development agreements. Restaurant managers train their staff through on-the-job training, utilizing video and printed materials produced by us.Standards.
We require franchisee adherence to a variety of standards designed to ensure proper operations and to protect and enhance the Pie Five and Pizza Inn brands. All franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in compliance with these written policies, standards and specifications, which include matters such as menu items, ingredients, materials, supplies, services, furnishings, decor and signs. Our efforts to maintain consistent operations may result, from time to time, in the closing of certain restaurants that have not achieved and maintained a consistent standard of quality or operations. We also maintain adherence to our standards through ongoing support and education of our franchisees by our franchise business consultants, who are deployed locally in markets where our franchisees are located.Company-Owned Restaurant Operations
As of June 29, 2014,25, 2017, we operated two Buffet Units and 13 Pie Five Units all in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. We do not currently intend to operate any Buffet Units, Delco Units or Express Units. Our ability to open Company-owned restaurants is affected by a number of factors, including the terms of available financing and our ability to locate suitable sites, negotiate acceptable lease or purchase terms, secure appropriate local governmental permits and approvals, supervise construction and recruit and train management personnel. In addition to generating revenues and earnings, we use domestic Company-owned restaurants as test sites for new products and promotions as well as restaurant operational improvements and as a forum for training new managers and franchisees.
International Franchise Operations
We also offer master license rights to develop Pizza Inn restaurants in certain foreign countries, with negotiated fees, development schedules and ongoing royalties. A master licensee for a foreign country pays a negotiated fee to purchase the right to develop and operate Pizza Inn restaurants within a defined territory, typically for a term of 20 years, plus a ten-year renewal option. The master licensee agrees to a multi-restaurant development schedule and we train the master licensee to monitor and assist franchisees in their territory with local service and quality control, with support from us. In return, the master licensee typically retains half the franchise fees and half the royalties on all restaurants within the territory during the term of the agreement. Master licensees may open restaurants that they own and operate, or they may open sub-franchised restaurants owned and operated by third parties through agreements with the master licensee, but subject to our approval.
Our first franchised restaurant outside of the United States opened in the late 1970s. As of June 29, 2014,25, 2017, there were 7160 Pizza Inn restaurants operating internationally. With the exception of two restaurants in Honduras, and one in Bangladesh, all of the restaurants operated or sub-licensed by our international master licensees are in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and adjoining countries. Our ability to continue to develop select international markets is affected by a number of factors, including our ability to locate experienced, well-capitalized developers who can commit to an aggressive multi-restaurant development schedule and achieve maximum initial market penetration with minimal supervision by us. In the future,fiscal 2018, we may also pursue international opportunities forplan to expand the development of Pie Five franchisees.brand internationally beginning with Pakistan.

Food and Supply Distribution
Our Norco division provides product sourcing, purchasing, quality assurance, research and development, franchisee order and billing services, and logistics support functions for both the Pizza Inn and Pie Five restaurant systems. We outsource our warehousing and distribution services to reputable and experienced restaurant distribution companies, including Performance Food Group, Inc., and UniPro Food Service Inc.. and theirits affiliates. The distributors make deliveries to all domestic restaurants from several distribution centers, with delivery territories and responsibilities for each determined according to geographical region. We believe this division of responsibilities for our purchasing, franchisee support and distribution systems has resulted in lower operating costs and logistical efficiencies. Norco also arranges for the distribution of certain products and equipment to some international franchisees.
Norco is able to leverage the advantages of direct vendor negotiations and volume purchasing of food, equipment and supplies for the franchisees’ benefit in the form of a concentrated, one-truck delivery system, competitive pricing and product consistency. Franchisees are able to purchase all products and ingredients from Norco and have them delivered by experienced and efficient distributors. In order to assure product quality and consistency, our franchisees are required to purchase from Norco certain food products that are proprietary to the Pizza Inn and Pie Five systems, including cheese, pizza sauce, flour mixture, certain meats and spice blend. In addition, franchisees may purchase other non-proprietary food products and supplies from Norco. Alternatively, franchisees may also purchase non-proprietary products and supplies from other suppliers who meet our requirements for quality and reliability.
Non-proprietary food and ingredients, equipment and other supplies sold by Norco are generally available from several qualified sources. With the exception of several proprietary food products, such as cheese and dough flour, we are not dependent upon any one supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We contract with established food processors for the production of our proprietary products according to our specifications.
We have not experienced any significant shortages of supplies or any delays in receiving our food or beverage inventories, restaurant supplies or products, and do not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining inventories or supplies in the foreseeable future. Prices charged to us by our suppliers are subject to fluctuation, and we typically pass increased costs or savings on to our franchisees through changes in product pricing. We do not engage in commodity hedging but enter into pricing arrangements for up to a year in advance for certain high volume products.
Marketing and Advertising
By communicating a common brand message at the regional, local market and restaurant levels, we believe we can create and reinforce a strong, consistent marketing message to consumers and increase our market share. We offer or facilitate a number of ways for the brand image and message to be promoted at the local and regional levels.
The Pizza Inn Advertising Plan Cooperative (“PIAP”PIAP Cooperative”) is a Texas non-profit corporationcooperative association that is responsible for creating and producing various marketing programs and materials, which may include print and digital advertisements, direct mail materials, social media and e-mail marketing, television and radio commercials, in-store promotional materials, and related marketing and public relations services. Each operator of a domestic Buffet Unit or Delco Unit is entitled to membership in PIAP.PIAP Cooperative. Nearly all of our existing Pizza Inn franchise agreements for Buffet Units and Delco Units require the franchisees to become members of PIAP.PIAP Cooperative. Members contribute 1% of their sales to PIAP. PIAP Cooperative. PIAP Cooperative is managed by a board of trustees comprised of franchisee representatives who are elected by the members each year. We do not have any ownership interest in PIAP.PIAP Cooperative. We provide certain administrative, marketing and other services to PIAP Cooperative and are paid by PIAP Cooperative for such services. As of June 29, 2014, the Company-owned Buffet Units and25, 2017, substantially all of our domestic franchisees were members of PIAP.PIAP Cooperative. Operators of Express Units do not participate in PIAP.PIAP Cooperative. However, they contribute up to 1% of their sales directly to usa Pizza Inn Express Fund (“PIEF”) to help fund purchases of Express Unit marketing materials and similar expenditures. International franchisees do not participate in PIAP.the PIAP Cooperative or the PIEF.
7 |
In the past year we have allocated additional resources to the development and execution of marketing programs for the Pie Five restaurant system to benefit Pie Five franchisees and Company-owned restaurants in different metropolitan areas. Pie Five franchisees contribute a specified percentage of their sales to the Company to fund the creation and production of various marketing and advertising programs and materials, which may include print and digital advertisements, direct mail materials, customer satisfaction system,systems, social media and e-mail marketing, television and radio commercials, in-store promotional materials, and related marketing and public relations services. We anticipate continuing to expand Pie Five marketing activities commensurate with the growth of the Pie Five system.
Pizza Inn and Pie Five franchisees are required to conduct independent marketing efforts in addition to their participation in the national marketing programs for each brand. We provide Company-owned and franchised restaurants with access to an assortment of local store marketing materials, including pre-approved print, radio, and digital media marketing materials. We also provide local store marketing materials and programs specifically to support new restaurant openings.
Trademarks and Quality Control
We own various trademarks, including the names “Pizza Inn” and “Pie Five,” that are used in connection with the restaurants and have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The duration of our trademarks is unlimited, subject to periodic renewal and continued use. In addition, we have obtained trademark registrations for our marks in several foreign countries and have periodically re-filed and applied for registration in others. We believe that we hold the necessary rights for protection of the trademarks essential to our business.
Government Regulation
We and our franchisees are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting the operation of our restaurants. Each restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, safety, sanitation, wage and hour, alcoholic beverage, building and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. Difficulties in obtaining, or the failure to obtain, required licenses or approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant or require the temporary or permanent closing of existing restaurants in a particular area.
We are subject to Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regulation and to various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. The FTC requires us to furnish to prospective franchisees a franchise disclosure document containing prescribed information. Substantive state laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship presently exist in a number of states, and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time that would provide for further federal regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. Some foreign countries also have disclosure requirements and other laws regulating franchising and the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
Employees
As of August 22, 2014,June 25, 2017, we had 304353 employees, including 4149 in our corporate office and 2965 full-time and 234239 part-time employees at the Company-owned restaurants. None of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Industry and Competition
The restaurant industry is intensely competitive with respect to price, service, location and food quality, and there are many well-established competitors with substantially greater brand recognition and financial and other resources than the Company. Competitors include a large number of international, national and regional restaurant and pizza chains, as well as local restaurants and pizza operators. Some of our competitors may be better established in the markets where our restaurants are or may be located. Within the pizza segment of the restaurant industry, we believe that our primary competitors are national pizza chains and several regional chains, including chains executing a “take and bake” concept. We also compete against the frozen pizza products available at grocery stores and large superstore retailers. In recent years several competitors have developed fast-casual pizza concepts that compete with Pie Five in certain metropolitan areas. A change in the pricing or other market strategies of one or more of our competitors could have an adverse impact on our sales and earnings.
8 |
With respect to the sale of franchises, we compete with many franchisors of restaurants and other business concepts. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the sale of franchises are product quality, price, value, consumer acceptance, franchisor experience and support, and the quality of the relationship maintained between the franchisor and its franchisees. In general, there is also active competition for management personnel and attractive commercial real estate sites suitable for our restaurants.
Our Norco division competes with both national and local distributors of food and other restaurant suppliers. The distribution industry is very competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the distribution industry are product quality, customer service and price. Norco or its designees are the sole authorized suppliers of certain proprietary products that all Pizza Inn or Pie Five restaurants are required to use.

Total domestic Units | 88 | 25 | 29 | - | 84 |
The net decrease of four Pie Five Units during fiscal 2017 was primarily the result of the closure of poor-performing units, which we believe provides us a stronger foundation for future brand growth. We believe that the net increase of 14 franchised Pie Five Units reflects a continuing but moderated growth as franchised stores opened primarily pursuant to previously executed domestic franchise development agreements.

Company-owned Pie Five restaurant operating cash flow decreased $0.9 million, or 82.1%, during the fiscal year 2017 compared to the same period of prior year. The decline in average weekly sales and operating cash flow for Company-owned Pie Five restaurants was primarily attributable to lower sales and weaker financial performance by stores in newer markets. Loss from continuing operations before taxes for Company-owned Pie Five stores increased $3.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2017 compared to the same period of the prior year. The higher loss from continuing operations before taxes for Company-owned Pie Five restaurants was primarily the result of $6.2 million in impairment charges and non-operating store costs and a decline in average weekly sales partially offset by lower pre-opening expenses.

Revenues are derived from 1)(1) sales of food, paper products and supplies from Norco to franchisees, 2)(2) franchise royalties and franchise fees, and 3)(3) Company-owned restaurant operations. Financial results are dependent in large part upon the volume, pricing and cost of the products and supplies sold to franchisees. The volume of products sold by Norco to franchisees is dependent on the level of franchisee chain-wide retail sales, which are impacted by changes in comparable store sales and restaurant count, and the mix of products sold to franchisees through Norco rather than through third-party food distributors.

Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assetsan asset compared to its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year 2014,2017, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.3$5.9 million compared to $1.7 million in the prior year.

Provision for Income Tax
The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. In fiscal year 2017, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was increased by $4.1 million in fiscal year 2017, increasing from $4.9 million at June 26, 2016 to $9.0 million at June 25, 2017. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s credit facilities inreview of this evidence, management determined that it was appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance against all of the current year.
Income tax benefitexpense of $0.1 million for fiscal 2014 increased $0.32017 represents state taxes. At the end of tax year ended June 25, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards totaling $13.6 million that are available to $0.8 millionreduce future taxable income and was calculated on an effective income tax ratewill begin to expire in 2032.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations includes income/loss from a Pizza Inn Company-owned restaurant that is consistent with the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% adjusted for state income tax effects and permanent difference items. The increase in tax benefitclosed in fiscal 2014 was due to the increased net loss in fiscal 2014. The effective tax rate increased to 33.9% in fiscal 2014 from 31.9% in fiscal 2013 due primarily to adjusted state tax calculations. Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize the net deferred tax assets of $1.9 million.

Liquidity
We expect to fund continuing operations and planned capital expenditures and new restaurant openings for the next fiscal year primarily from cash on hand, operating cash flow and net proceeds from the ATM Offering.sales of securities. Based on budgeted and year-to-date cash flow information, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash requirements for the 20152018 fiscal year.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies require estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, are susceptible to change, and therefore require subjective judgments. Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in future periods.
21 |
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from food and supply sales to franchisees and franchise royalties. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Actual realization of accounts receivable could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.
The Company recognizes food and supply revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license sales. License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company, generally at the time the restaurant is opened. Royalties are recognized as income when earned.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of an asset compared to its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value based on discounted estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year 2017, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $5.9 million primarily related to the carrying value of 20 Pie Five Units and lease termination expenses for seven undeveloped restaurant sites. During fiscal year 2016, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $1.7 million related to the carrying value of five Pie Five Units.
The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income are also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 29, 201425, 2017 and June 30, 2013,26, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
The Company assesses its exposures to loss contingencies from legal matters based upon factors such as the current status of the cases and consultations with external counsel and provides for the exposure by accruing an amount if it is judged to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the actual loss from a contingency differs from management’s estimate, operating results could be adversely impacted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc.
The Colony, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pizza Inn Holdings,Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. as of June 29, 201425, 2017 and June 30, 201326, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Pizza Inn Holdings,Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. as of June 29, 201425, 2017 and June 30, 2013,26, 2016, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Description of Business:
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, or in the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) operate and franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out and express restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operate and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. We provide or facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors.
As of June 29, 2014,25, 2017, we owned and operated 15 restaurants comprised of 13 Pie Five restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and two Pizza Inn buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”). As of that date, we also had seven71 franchised Pie Five Units and 251221 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. The 180161 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 103 93 pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units, 24Units”), 11 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 5357 express restaurants (“Express Units”). The 7160 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 1812 Buffet Units, 4540 Delco Units and 8eight Express Units. Domestic Pizza Inn restaurants were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina Arkansas and Mississippi accounting for approximately 34%23%, 14%17%, 12%17% and 6%9%, respectively, of the total number of domestic restaurants.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pizza Inn Holdings,Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. At June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016 and at various times during the fiscal years then ended, cash and cash equivalents were in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Corporation insured limits. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Inventories:
Inventory which consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies primarily warehousedstored in and used by the Company’s third-party distributor, isCompany restaurants and was stated at lower of costfirst-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or market, with cost determined according to the weighted average cost method.market. The valuation of such restaurant inventory requires us to estimate the amount of obsolete and excess inventory. The determinationinventory based on estimates of obsolete and excess inventory requires us to estimatefuture retail sales by Company-owned restaurants. Overestimating retail sales by Company-owned restaurants could result in the future demand for the Company’s products within specific time horizons, generally six months or less. If the Company’s demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and the Company fails to reduce purchasing accordingly, the Company could be required to write downwrite-down of inventory which would have a negative impact on the Company’s gross margin.margin of such Company-owned restaurants.

Closed Restaurants and Discontinued Operations:
In April, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08,Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,which modifies the definition of discontinued operations to include only disposals of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on an entity’s operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. The standard was effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The authoritative guidance on “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that discontinued operations that meet certain criteria be reflected in the statement of operations after results of continuing operations as a net amount. This guidance also requires that the operations of closed restaurants, including any impairment charges, be reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The authoritative guidance on “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This authoritative guidance also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability.
Discontinued operations include lossesincludes income/loss from two Pizza Inn locationsa restaurant that closed in Texas. One isfiscal 2017 and a leased building associated with a Company-owned restaurant closed during fiscal 2008. The other is results of operations forin a Company-owned restaurant that was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 due to declining sales.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization isare removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in operations. The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease including any reasonably assured renewal periods, if shorter. The useful lives of the assets range from three to ten years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Asset and other Lease Charges:
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assetsan asset compared to its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year 20142017 and 2013,2016, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.3$5.9 million and $0.8$1.7 million, respectively, related to the carrying value of two Company-owned Buffet Units in Texas and three Company-ownedmultiple Pie Five Units in Texas.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from food and supply sales and franchise royalties. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts that may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of the Company's prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Finance charges may be accrued at a rate of 18% per year, or up to the maximum amount allowed by law, on past due receivables. The interest income recorded from finance charges is immaterial.
F-8 |
Notes Receivable:
Notes receivable primarily consist of accounts receivablepromissory notes arising from franchisees converted into notes.franchisee agreements. The majority of amounts and terms are contained under formal promissory and personal guarantee agreements. All notes allow for early payment without penalty. Fixed principle and interest payments are due weekly or monthly. Interest income is recognized monthly. Notes receivable mature at various dates through 20162021 and bear interest at rates that range from 7%0.0% to 15% (8%7.0% (3.9% weighted average rate at June 29, 2014)25, 2017).
Management evaluates the creditworthiness of franchisees by considering credit history and sales to evaluate credit risk. Management determines interest rates based on credit risk of the underlining franchisee. The Company monitors payment history to determine whether or not a loan should be placed on a nonaccrual status or impaired.
The Company charges off notes receivable based on an account-by-account analysis of the borrower’s current economic conditions, monthly payments history and historical loss experience. The allowance for doubtful notes receivable is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The principal balance outstanding on the notes and advances receivable and expected principal collections for the next five years and thereafter were as follows as of June 29, 201425, 2017 (in thousands):

Income Taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance onAccounting for Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement and carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax asset at the endassets, including an analysis of each fiscal quarter to determine if an allowance against the deferred tax asset is required, and at the end of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be fully realized based on the expectation offactors such as future taxable income, and the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. Therefore, nodifferences, and tax planning strategies. In fiscal year 2017, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was recorded. This determination and future estimates could be impactedincreased by changes$4.1 million in future taxable income, the results of tax strategies or changes in tax laws.
Income tax expense of $0.1 million for fiscal 2017 represented state taxes. At the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihoodend of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As oftax year ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013,25, 2017, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. Federal returns for tax years 2010 through 2013 remained open for examination as of June 29, 2014.net operating loss carryforwards totaling $13.6 million that are available to reduce future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2032.

Pre-Opening Expense:
The Company's pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and generally include payroll and other direct costs associated with training new managers and employees prior to opening a new restaurant, rent and other unit operating expenses incurred prior to opening, and promotional costs associated with the opening.
Related Party Transactions:
On February 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NCM Services, Inc. (“NCMS”) pursuant to which NCMS will provide certain advisory and consulting services to the Company. NCMS is indirectly owned and controlled by Mark E. Schwarz, the Chairman of the Company. The term of the Agreement commenced December 30, 2013, and continues quarterly thereafter until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the Agreement, NCMS was paid an initial fee of $150,000 and earns quarterly fees of $50,000 and an additional fee of up to $50,000 per quarter (not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000 in additional fees). The quarterly and additional fees are waived if the Company is not in compliance with all financial covenants under its primary credit facility or to the extent that payment of those fees would result in non-compliance with such financial covenants.
On December 22, 2016, the Company obtained a $1.0 million loan from its largest shareholder, Newcastle Partners, LP ("Newcastle"), evidenced by a promissory note. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and was originally due and payable on April 30, 2017. On May 8, 2017, the Company renewed and extended the promissory note on the same terms until the earlier of September 1, 2017, or the Company’s receipt of at least $2.0 million in additional debt or equity capital. Newcastle is an affiliate of the Company's Chairman, Mark E. Schwarz.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes food and supply revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company's Norco division sells food and supplies to franchisees on trade accounts under terms common in the industry. Norco sales are reflected under the caption "Food and supply sales." Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the associated costs are included in cost of sales.
Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license sales. License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company, generally at the time the restaurant is opened. Royalties are recognized as income when earned. For the fiscal years ended June 29, 201425, 2017 and June 30, 2013, 91%26, 2016, 87.8% and 93%82.8%, respectively, of franchise revenue was comprised of recurring royalties.
We recognize restaurant sales when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.
Stock Options:
The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on Share-Based Payments.share-based payments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock-based compensation for options granted to employees and directors and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model in the future. The authoritative guidance also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow.
The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan, and one stock-based non-employee director compensation plan.plans are described more fully in Note H. Stock options under these plans are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant.
Generally those options vest ratably over various vesting periods. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are described more fully in Note H.
F-10 |
Restricted Stock Units:
Compensation cost is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company had approximately
Advertising and Marketing Costs:
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $0.8 million for fiscal year ended June 25, 2017 and $1.2 million for fiscal year ended June 26, 2016. Advertising and marketing costs are included in bank debt at June 29, 2014. The fair valuecost of bank debt approximated its carrying value at June 29, 2014.
Contingencies:
Provisions for legal settlements are accrued when payment is considered probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with the authoritative guidance onAccounting for Contingencies. If the best estimate of cost can only be identified within a range and no specific amount within that range can be determined more likely than any other amount within the range, and the loss is considered probable, the minimum of the range is accrued. Legal and related professional services costs to defend litigation are expensed as incurred.
Use of Management Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.
Fiscal Year:
The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in June. The fiscal year ended June 29, 201425, 2017 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 201326, 2016 both contained 52 and 53 weeks, respectively.

The Company continually reviews the reliability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, to fully realizeand tax planning strategies. In fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a $4.9 million valuation allowing against its net deferred tax asset.
F-13 |
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such an assessment, more weight was given to the evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate.
NOTE F - LEASES:
Premises occupied by Company-owned restaurants are leased for initial terms of five to ten years, and each has multiple renewal terms. Certain lease agreements contain either a provision requiring additional rent if sales exceed specified amounts or an escalation clause based upon a predetermined multiple.

We determine fair value following the authoritative guidance as follows:
Valuation and Amortization Method.
We estimate the fair value of share-based awards granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods.Expected Life
. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. Unless a life is specifically stated, we determine the expected life using the “simplified method” in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 since we do not have sufficient historical share option exercise experience.Expected Volatility
. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock.Risk-Free Interest Rate
. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.Expected Dividend Yield.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock in the last ten years and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.Expected Forfeitures
. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. We record stock-based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest.F-17 |

At June 29, 2014,25, 2017, the Company had unvested options to purchase 447,53990,000 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.00.$6.77. The total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awardsstock options amounted to approximately $0.3$0.2 million at June 29, 2014.25, 2017. The weighted average remaining requisite service period of the unvested awards was 21.14.6 months. Stock compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million$58,000 and $0.2 million$213,000 was recognized in fiscal years 20142017 and 2013,2016, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units:
Restricted stock units awarded under the 2015 LTIP represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. During fiscal 2017, an aggregate of 536,310 restricted stock units were granted to certain employees.
The restricted stock units granted to each recipient are allocated among performance criteria pertaining to various aspects of the Company’s business, as well as its overall operations, measured based on its fiscal year ending June 24, 2019. Achievement of the various performance criteria entitles the recipient to receive shares of common stock in amounts ranging from 50% to 150% of the number of restricted stock units granted. Grantees of restricted stock units do not have any rights of a stockholder, and do not participate in any distributions on our common stock, until the award fully vests upon satisfaction of the vesting schedule, performance criteria and other conditions set forth in their award agreement. Therefore, unvested restricted stock units are not considered participating securities under ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” and are not included in the calculation of basic or diluted earnings per share.
Compensation cost is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2017 is $5.99 per unit. The Company benefited from a credit in compensation expense of $33 thousand which had no income tax impact due to a full valuation allowance.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to employment agreements, franchise disputes, lawsuits, taxes, food product purchase contracts and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that any such claims and actions currently pending are either covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to us.

NOTE L– SEGMENT REPORTING:
The Company has two reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance onDisclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information: (1) Franchising and Food and Supply Distribution, and (2) Company-owned Restaurants. These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the two operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The Franchising and Food and Supply Distribution segment establishes franchisees and franchise territorial rights and sells and distributes proprietary and non-proprietary food and other items to franchisees. Revenue for this segment is derived from the sale of distributed products and franchise royalties, franchise fees and sale of area development and foreign master license rights. Assets for this segment include equipment, furniture and fixtures.
The Company-owned Restaurant segment includes sales and operating results for all Company-owned restaurants. Assets for this segment include equipment, furniture and fixtures for the Company-owned restaurants.
Corporate administration and other assets primarily include the deferred tax asset, cash and short-term investments, as well as furniture and fixtures located at the corporate office and trademarks and other intangible assets. All assets are located within the United States.
Summarized in the following tables are net sales and operating revenues, depreciation and amortization expense, income from continuing operations before taxes, capital expenditures and assets for the Company's reportable segments as of and for the fiscal years ended June 29, 201425, 2017 and June 30, 201326, 2016 (in thousands):
