The Company also licenses Pizza Inn Express, or PIE, kiosks (“PIE Units”) under the trademark “Pizza Inn”. We facilitate food, equipment and supply distribution to our domestic and international system of restaurants through agreements with third party distributors. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. ~~(the "Company")~~ have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~Company's~~Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June ~~25, 2017.~~

26, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the ~~Company's~~Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

~~(1)~~

~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ~~the Company~~Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate ~~intercompany~~inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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.

Fiscal Quarters

The three and six month periods ended December ~~24, 2017~~25, 2022 and December ~~25, 2016,~~26, 2021 each contained 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.

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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in contracts with customers and excludes incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, primarily sales tax. The Company recognizes revenue when ~~products~~it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are ~~delivered~~both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, ~~takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of~~are excluded from revenue.

The following describes principal activities, separated by major product or service, from which the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. The Company ~~reports revenue net of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.~~

generates its revenues:

Franchise Revenues

Franchise revenues consist of ~~income from~~1) franchise royalties, 2) supplier and distributor incentive revenues, 3) franchise license fees, ~~royalties, and~~4) area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees, 5) advertising funds, and 6) supplier ~~and distributor incentive revenues. License fees~~convention funds.

Franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of franchise restaurant sales, are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance under the agreement by the Company. Domestic license fees are generally recognized at the time the restaurant is opened. Foreign master license fees are generally recognized upon execution of the agreement as all material services relating to the sale have been substantially performed by the Company and the fee has been collected. Royalties are recognized as income when earned. sales occur.

Supplier and distributor incentive revenues are recognized when title to the underlying commodities ~~transfers.~~

transfer.

Franchise license fees are typically billed upon execution of the franchise agreement and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement which can range from five to 20 years. Fees received for renewal periods are amortized over the life of the renewal period.

Index

Area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees are typically billed upon execution of the area development and foreign master license agreements. Area development exclusivity fees are included in deferred revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and allocated on a pro rata basis to all stores opened under that specific development agreement. Area development exclusivity fees that include rights to sub-franchise are amortized as revenue over the term of the contract.

Advertising fund contributions for Pie Five and Pizza Inn units represent contributions collected where we have control over the activities of the fund. Contributions are based on a percentage of net retail sales. We have determined that we are the principal in these arrangements, and advertising fund contributions and expenditures are, therefore, reported on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In general, we expect such advertising fund contributions and expenditures to be largely offsetting and, therefore, do not expect a significant impact on our reported income before income taxes. Our obligation related to these funds is to develop and conduct advertising activities.

Supplier convention funds are deferred until the obligations of the agreement are met and the event takes place.

Rental Income

The Company subleases some of its restaurant space to third parties. The Company’s two subleases have terms that end in 2023 and 2025. The sublease agreements are noncancelable through the end of the term and both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease when the term is complete. Sublease agreements are not capitalized and are recorded as rental income in the period that rent is received.

Total revenues consist of the following (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on 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.

Restricted ~~Stock Units~~

stock units (“RSUs”) represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. Compensation cost for ~~restricted stock units (“RSU’s”)~~RSUs is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the ~~RSU’s~~RSUs 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.

Index

Note B - Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that it can be determined that an arrangement represents a lease, it is classified as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company does not currently have any finance leases. The Company capitalizes operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets through a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Right of use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Short-term leases that have an initial term of one year or less are not capitalized. The Company does not presently have any short-term leases.

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In addition to the present value of lease payments, the operating lease right of use asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Nature of Leases

The Company leases certain office space, restaurant space, and information technology equipment under non-cancelable leases to support its operations. A more detailed description of significant lease types is included below.

Office Agreements

The Company rents office space from third parties for its corporate location. Office agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms of one to ten years. The Company has concluded that its office agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreement subsequent to the primary term.

Restaurant Space Agreements

The Company rents restaurant space from third parties for its Company-owned restaurants. Restaurant space agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms of one to 10 years. The Company has concluded that its restaurant agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreements subsequent to the primary term.

As of December 25, 2022, the Company had no Company-owned restaurants.

Information Technology Equipment

The Company rents information technology equipment, primarily printers and copiers, from a third party for its corporate office location. Information technology equipment agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms of one to five years. The Company has concluded that its information technology equipment commitments are operating leases.

Discount Rate

Leases typically do not provide an implicit interest rate. Accordingly, the Company is required to use its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company uses the implicit rate in the limited circumstances in which that rate is readily determinable.

Lease Guarantees

The Company has guaranteed the financial responsibilities of certain franchised store leases. These guaranteed leases are not considered operating leases because the Company does not have the right to control the underlying asset. If the franchisee abandons the lease and fails to meet the lease’s financial obligations, the lessor may assign the lease to the Company for the remainder of the term. If the Company does not expect to assign the abandoned lease to a new franchisee within 12 months, the lease will be considered an operating lease and a right of use asset and lease liability will be recognized.

Index

Practical Expedients and Accounting Policy Elections

Certain lease agreements include lease and non-lease components. For all existing asset classes with multiple component types, the Company has utilized the practical expedient that exempts it from separating lease components from non-lease components. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components in an arrangement as a single lease component.

In addition, for all existing asset classes, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the lease recognition requirements to short-term leases (that is, leases that, at commencement, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise). Accordingly, we recognize lease payments related to short-term leases in our income statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term. To the extent that there are variable lease payments, we recognize those payments in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

The components of total lease expense for the six months ended December 25, 2022, the majority of which is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, are as follows (in thousands):

Note C - Stock Purchase Plan

On May 23, 2007, the Company’s board of ~~Management Estimates~~

~~The preparation~~directors approved a stock purchase plan (the “2007 Stock Purchase Plan”) authorizing the purchase on our behalf of ~~financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted~~up to 1,016,000 shares of our common stock in the ~~United States of America (“GAAP”) requires~~open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On June 2, 2008, the Company’s ~~management~~board of directors amended the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan to ~~make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts~~increase the number of ~~assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure~~shares 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 and actual results could differ materially from estimates.

~~Reclassification~~

~~Certain items have been reclassified in the prior financial statements to conform to current financial statement presentation.~~

~~Discontinuation of Norco Distribution Division~~

~~During the fiscal quarter ended December 24, 2017,~~common stock the Company ~~discontinued its Norco distribution division and revised its arrangements with third party suppliers and distributors~~may repurchase by 1,000,000 shares to a total of food, equipment and supplies. As a result, sale of food, equipment and supplies is no longer recognized as revenue and the cost of such items is no longer included in cost of sales. The Company now recognizes incentive revenues received from third party suppliers and distributors as revenue.

~~Commitments and Contingencies~~

2,016,000 shares. On April 22, 2009, the Company’s board of directors amended the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan ~~first adopted on May 23, 2007 and previously amended on June 2, 2008,~~again to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company may repurchase by 1,000,000 shares to a total of 3,016,000 shares. On June 28, 2022, the Company’s board of directors amended the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan again to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company may repurchase by 5,000,000 shares to a total of 8,016,000 shares. The 2007 Stock Purchase Plan does not have an expiration date. ~~There were no stock repurchases in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. As of December 24, 2017, up~~

The following table furnishes information for purchases made pursuant to ~~an additional 848,425 shares could be repurchased under~~ the 2007 Stock Purchase ~~Plan.~~

The Company’s ability to purchase shares of our common stock is subject to various laws, regulations and policies as well as the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company may also purchase shares of our common stock other than pursuant to the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan or other publicly announced plans or programs.

On December 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Hallmark Financial Services, Inc. (“Hallmark”) pursuant to which the Company purchased from certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of Hallmark an aggregate of 2,246,086 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.60 per share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $3,593,738. The price per share represented the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the preceding 15 trading days. The transaction was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company, which consists of all of the independent directors of the Company. The Chairman of the Company, Mark E. Schwarz, who is also the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hallmark, recused himself from all deliberations with respect to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Hallmark.

Index

Note D - Commitments and Contingencies

On January 6, 2020, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Scott Crane, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging various claims in connection with the Company’s termination of his employment in July 2019. In general, the suit asserted that the Company terminated Mr. Crane for the purpose of depriving him of certain equity compensation that would otherwise have become due to him on October 15, 2019. The case proceeded to a jury trial, which resulted in a verdict in favor of Crane on his breach of contract claim. On February 9, 2022, the Court entered a $1.9 million judgment against the Company inclusive of attorney fees, court costs and pre-judgment interest. The Company has filed an appeal of the judgment to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Company is subject to other 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~~Company’s annual results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

~~(5)~~ ~~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.

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 losses attributable to the discontinued Norco distribution and supply division, leased buildings associated with Company-owned units closed in prior years, and closed Pizza Inn corporate-owned units.

Note G - Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended December 25, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $140 thousand and $232 thousand, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 26, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively. For the three months ended December 25, 2022, the federal and state tax expense were $100 thousand and $40 thousand, respectively. For the six months ended December ~~24, 2017,~~25, 2022, the ~~Company had an income tax benefit of $260 thousand calculated at a 27.5% weighted-average rate consistent with a statutory U.S.~~ federal ~~blended rate offset by an income~~and state tax expense ~~of $246 thousand related to recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $260 thousand foreign taxes of $6 thousand, state taxes of $13~~were $182 thousand and ~~an additional IRS refund of $33 thousand.~~

$50 thousand, respectively.

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 continues to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. 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 athe valuation allowance, the Company ~~considered~~considers 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~~

Note H - Segment Reporting

The Company has three reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by ASC 280 Disclosures about Segments of ~~taxable income were also considered~~an Enterprise and Related Information: (1) Pizza Inn Franchising, (2) Pie Five Franchising and (3) Company-Owned Restaurants. These segments are a result of differences in ~~determining~~ the ~~amount~~nature of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence at December 24, 2017, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 24, 2017 was appropriate.

~~In December 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts~~products and ~~Jobs Act. The new law drops the income tax rate for corporations~~services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, ~~21% effective January 1, 2018. Due~~general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the ~~tax rate change, the deferred tax assets as~~three operating segments. Other revenue consists of ~~December 24, 2017 were adjusted by $3.3 million~~nonrecurring items.

The Pizza Inn and ~~the valuation allowance was adjusted by the same amount. There were approximately 6.0 million of deferred tax assets at December 24, 2017.~~

~~(7)~~ ~~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 would provide certain advisory~~Pie Five Franchising segments establish franchisees, licensees 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 continued quarterly thereafter until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the Agreement, NCMS was paid an initial fee of $150,000 and earned quarterlyterritorial rights. Revenue for these segments are derived from franchise royalties, franchise 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 were waived if the Company was 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. The Agreement was terminated at the end of fiscal 2017.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of ~~poor-performing stores, which~~novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and the disease spread rapidly throughout the United States and the world. Federal, state and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as our internal efforts to protect customers, franchisees, and employees, severely disrupted our business operations. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated significant job losses and a national economic downturn that impacted the demand for restaurant food service.

Although most of our domestic restaurants continued to operate under these conditions, we ~~believe will provide a stronger foundation for future brand growth. We believe that~~have experienced temporary closures from time to time during the ~~net increase~~pandemic. During much of ~~eight franchised~~the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced dramatically reduced aggregate in-store retail sales at Buffet Units and Pie Five Units, modestly offset by increased aggregate carry-out and delivery sales. The decreased aggregate retail sales correspondingly decreased supplier rebates and franchise royalties payable to the Company.

In most cases, in-store dining has now resumed subject to seating capacity limitations, social distancing protocols, and/or enhanced cleaning and disinfecting practices. As a result, the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have diminished in recent periods. Nonetheless, an outbreak or perceived outbreak of COVID-19 connected to restaurant dining could cause negative publicity directed at any of our brands and cause customers to avoid our restaurants. We cannot predict how long the ~~three month period ended December 24, 2017 is a demonstration of brand strength~~pandemic will continue or whether it will recur, what additional restrictions may be enacted, if individuals will be comfortable frequenting our Buffet Units and ~~strategic commitment to franchise operations.~~

~~The net decrease of four~~ Pie Five Units, ~~during~~or to what extent off-premises will continue. Any of these changes could materially adversely affect the ~~first six month period ended December 24, 2018 was primarily~~Company’s future financial performance. However, the ~~result~~ultimate impact of ~~the closure~~COVID-19 on our future results of poor-performing stores, which we believe will provide a stronger foundation for future brand growth. We believe that the net increase of six franchised Pie Five Units in the first six month period ended December 24, 2017 is a demonstration of brand strengthoperations and ~~strategic commitment to franchise operations. We do not anticipate the opening of additional Company-owned Pie Five Units in the near future.~~

Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for the results reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of operating performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other parties interested in our industry. We believe that EBITDA is helpful to investors in evaluating our results of operations without the impact of expenses affected by financing methods, accounting methods and the tax environment. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors by excluding non-operational or non-recurring expenses to provide a measure of operating performance that is more comparable from period to period. We believe that restaurant operating cash flow is a useful metric to investors in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of Company-owned restaurants and comparing such store operating performance from period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for evaluating operating performance, assessing the effectiveness of business strategies, projecting future capital needs, budgeting and other planning purposes.

The following key performance indicators presented herein, some of which represent non-GAAP financial measures, have ~~the meaning~~these meanings and are calculated as follows:

·●

“EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

·●

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, ~~stock~~stock-based compensation expense, ~~pre-opening expense,~~severance, gain/loss on sale of assets, costs related to impairment and other lease charges, franchisee default and closed store revenue/expense, and closed and non-operating store ~~costs and discontinued operations.~~costs.

·●

“Retail sales” represents the restaurant sales reported by our franchisees and Company-owned restaurants, which may be segmented by brand or domestic/international locations.

·●

“System-wide retail sales” represents combined retail sales for franchisee and Company-owned restaurants for a specified brand.

·●

“Comparable store retail sales” includes the retail sales for restaurants that have been open for at least 18 months as of the end of the reporting period. The sales results for a restaurant that was closed temporarily for remodeling or relocation within the same trade area are included in the calculation only for the days that the restaurant was open in both periods being compared.

·●

“Store weeks” represent the total number of full weeks that specified restaurants were open during the period.

·●

“Average units open” reflects the number of restaurants open during a reporting period weighted by the percentage of the weeks in a reporting period that each restaurant was open.

·●

“Average weekly sales” for a specified period is calculated as total retail sales (excluding partial weeks) divided by store weeks in the period.

“Restaurant operating cash flow” represents the pre-tax income earned by Company-owned restaurants before (1) allocated marketing and advertising expenses, (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) pre-opening expenses, (4) operations management and extraordinary expenses, (5) impairment and other lease charges, and (6) non-operating store costs.

·●

“Non-operating store costs” represent gain or loss on asset disposal, store closure expenses, lease termination expenses and expenses related to abandoned store sites.

·●

Provision for Income ~~Tax~~

Taxes

For the three and six months ended December 25, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $140 thousand and $232 thousand, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 26, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively. For the six months ended December ~~24, 2017,~~25, 2022, the ~~Company had an income tax benefit of $260 thousand calculated at a 27.5% weighted-average rate consistent with a statutory U.S.~~ federal ~~blended rate offset by an income~~and state tax expense ~~of $246 thousand related to recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $260 thousand foreign taxes of $6 thousand, state taxes of $13~~were $182 thousand and ~~an additional IRS refund of $33 thousand.~~

$50 thousand, respectively.

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 continues to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. 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 athe valuation allowance, the Company ~~considered~~considers 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 review of this evidence at December 24, 2017, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 24, 2017 was appropriate.

In December 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new law drops the income tax rate for corporations to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Due to the tax rate change, the deferred tax assets as of December 24, 2017 were adjusted by $3.3 million and the valuation allowance was adjusted by the same amount. There were approximately 6.0 million of deferred tax assets at December 24, 2017.

~~Discontinued Operations~~

Net losses from the Norco food and supply distribution division are included within discontinued operations. The discontinuation of the Norco food and supply distribution entity was a strategic shift for the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, releasing the Company from added credit risk, overhead expense, and direct supply and delivery responsibilities. Discontinued operations also includes losses from leased buildings and operating losses associated with Company-owned Pizza Inn restaurants closed in prior years.

On October 27, 2017, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for the offer and sale of up to $5.0 million of its common stock at such time and in such manner as may subsequently be determined appropriate. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2017.

Convertible Notes

On March 3, 2017, the Company completed a registered shareholder rights offering of its 4% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2022 (“Notes”). Shareholders exercised subscription rights to purchase all 30,000 of the Notes at the par value of $100 per Note, resulting in gross offering proceeds to the Company of $3.0 million.

The Notes bore interest at the rate of 4% per annum on the principal or par value of $100 per note, payable annually in arrears on February 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2018. Interest was payable in cash or, at the Company’s discretion, in shares of Company common stock. The Notes were secured by a pledge of all outstanding equity securities of our two primary direct operating subsidiaries. The Notes matured on February 15, 2022, at which time all principal and unpaid interest was paid in cash. Therefore, as of December 25, 2022, there were no Notes outstanding.

Employee Retention Credit

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “CAA”) was signed into law. The CAA expanded eligibility for an employee retention credit for companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with fewer than five hundred employees and at least a twenty percent decline in gross receipts compared to the same quarter in 2019, to encourage retention of employees. This payroll tax credit was a refundable tax credit against certain federal employment taxes. For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2022, the Company recorded $0.7 million of other income for the employee retention credit, $0.6 million of which was collected in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

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.

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from franchise royalties and supplier concessions. The Company records ~~a provision~~an allowance for ~~doubtful receivables~~bad debts 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.

Inventory consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in and used by Company-owned restaurants and is stated at lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or market. The valuation of such restaurant inventory requires us to estimate the amount of obsolete and excess inventory based on estimates of future retail sales by Company-owned restaurants. Overestimating retail sales by Company-owned restaurants could result in the write-down of inventory which would have a negative impact on the gross margin of such Company-owned restaurants.

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 assets compared to their carrying value. If impairment is ~~recognized,~~indicated, the carrying value of an impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, area development and foreign master license agreements, ~~and~~advertising fund revenues, supplier incentive and convention contribution revenues. ~~License~~Franchise fees, area development and foreign master license agreement fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related contract agreement. Royalties and advertising fund revenues, which are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales, 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.~~retail sales occur. Supplier incentive revenues are recognized as earned, typically as the underlying commodities are shipped.

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 ~~taxable income were also considered in determining~~tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the ~~amount~~technical merits of the ~~recorded valuation allowance.
