Notes to Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation Ruby Tuesday, Inc. including its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“RTI,” the “Company,” “we” and/or “our”) develops, operates and franchises casual dining restaurants in the United States, Guam, and 14 June 6, 2017, 543 62 11 As discussed further in Note 7 2017 103 95 We also owned and operated two May 31, 2016. 3 2016 eight two not May 31, 2016, third 2017. RTI consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the first May 30 53 rd week is added every five six 2017 53 first three 2017 13 fourth 14 2017, 53 rd week added $15.7 $0.02 May 31, 2016 June 2, 2015 52 Cash and Cash Equivalents Our cash management program provides for the investment of excess cash balances in short-term money market instruments. These money market instruments are stated at cost, which approximates market value. We consider amounts receivable from credit card companies and marketable securities with a maturity of three Inventories Our inventories principally consist of food and beverages and are stated using the weighted average cost method. Property and Equipment and Depreciation Property and equipment, net, is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of depreciable assets generally range from three 35 three 15 5 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets We review our long-lived assets related to each restaurant to be held and used in the business, including any allocated intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a restaurant may not not When we decide to close a restaurant it is reviewed for impairment and depreciable lives are considered for adjustment. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use through the expected disposal date and the expected terminal value. Any gain or loss recognized upon disposal of the assets associated with a closed restaurant is recorded as a component of Closures and impairments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. See Note 7 Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets which are included in Other assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following (in thousands): 2017 2016 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Reacquired franchise rights $ 12,744 $ 10,582 $ 14,096 $ 10,903 Favorable leases * 1,029 246 1,408 336 Trademarks 231 162 237 158 $ 14,004 $ 10,990 $ 15,741 $ 11,397 * As of June 6, 2017 May 31, 2016, $0.2 $0.6 The reacquired franchise rights reflected in the table above were acquired as part of certain franchise acquisitions. The favorable leases resulted from the terms of acquired franchise operating lease contracts being favorable relative to market terms of comparable leases on the acquisition dates. Amortization expense of other intangible assets for fiscal years 2017, 2016, 2015 $0.9 $1.8 $2.2 8.5 28.6 10 five $0.6 2018, $0.6 fiscal year 2019, $0.5 2020, $0.3 2021, $0.1 2022. five We evaluate reacquired franchise rights and favorable leases for impairment as part of our evaluation of restaurant-level impairments. Debt Acquisition Costs We defer debt acquisition costs and amortize them over the terms of the related agreements using a method that approximates the effective interest method. As of June 6, 2017 May 31, 2016, associated with our Senior Credit Facility of $2.1 $0.7 May 31, 2016, $0.4 Unamortized debt acquisition costs associated with our Senior Notes and mortgage loan obligations of $0.7 June 6, 2017 May 31, 2016, $1.6 $2.4 June 6, 2017 May 31, 2016, . Lease Obligations 274 of our 543 205 69 20 not These leases may Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals during the term of the lease, which includes option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty. For these leases, we recognize the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, beginning with the point at which we obtain control and possession of the leased properties, and record the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred escalating minimum rent. Any lease incentives received are deferred and subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense. Estimated Liability for Self-Insurance We self-insure a portion of our expected losses under our employee health care benefits, workers ’ compensation, general liability, and property insurance programs. Specifically with our workers’ compensation and general liability coverages, we have stop loss insurance for individual claims in excess of stated loss amounts. Insurance liabilities are recorded based on third Pensions and Post-Retirement Medical Benefits We measure and recognize the funded status of our defined benefit and postretirement plans in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of our fiscal year end. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of future salary increases and years of service, as applicable. The difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of assets that has not Revenue Recognition Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. We present sales net of coupons, discounts, sales tax, and other sales-related taxes. Deferred revenue-gift cards primarily represents our liability for gift cards that have been sold, but not Breakage income represents the value associated with the portion of gift cards sold that will most likely never be redeemed. Using gift card redemption history, we have determined that substantially all of our customers utilize their gift cards within two 24 We recognized gift card breakage income of $2.4 million, $2.1 $2.0 2017, 2016, 2015, Franchise development and license fees received are recognized when substantially all of our material obligations under the franchise agreements have been performed and the restaurant has opened for business. Franchise royalties are generally 4.0% Advertising amounts received from domestic franchisees are considered by us to be reimbursements, recorded when earned, and have been netted against marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. We charge our franchisees various monthly fees that are calculated as a percentage of the respective franchise ’s monthly sales. Our Ruby Tuesday concept franchise agreements allow us to charge up to a 4.0% 1.5% 3.0%. 60 A further description of our franchise programs is provided in Note 2 Pre-Opening Expenses Salaries, personnel training costs, pre-opening rent, and other expenses of opening new facilities are charged to expense as incurred. Share-Based Employee Compensation Plans We measure and recognize share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units as compensation expense based on the fair value of the equity award on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of service-based stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are based on the closing prices of our common stock on the dates prior to the grant date. This compensation expense is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis for all awards except those awarded to retirement-eligible individuals, which are recognized on the grant date at estimated fair value. We classify share-based compensation expense consistent with all other compensation expenses in General and administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. See Note 10 Marketing Costs Except for television, radio, internet, and social media advertising production costs which we expense when the advertisement is first $54.1 $51.4 $49.4 2017, 2016, 2015, Income Taxes Our deferred income taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Temporary differences represent the cumulative taxable or deductible amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements in different years than recognized in the tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If, after consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, the need for a valuation allowance is addressed. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets may The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. We recognize in our consolidated financial statements the benefit of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not 50% 50% See Note 9 Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to stock options and restricted stock outstanding during the applicable periods, except during loss periods as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table reflects the calculation of weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (in thousands, except per-share data): 2017 2016 2015 Net loss $ (106,140 ) $ (50,682 ) $ (3,194 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding 60,139 60,871 60,580 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock – – – Weighted average common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding 60,139 60,871 60,580 Basic loss per share $ (1.76 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.05 ) Diluted loss per share $ (1.76 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.05 ) Stock options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of our common stock and certain options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units with unrecognized compensation expense do not 2017 2016 2015 Stock options 2,242 2,407 3,057 Restricted stock / Restricted stock units 640 826 1,352 Total 2,882 3,233 4,409 Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss adjusted for certain income, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net loss in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as pension and other postretirement medical plan adjustments. Comprehensive loss is shown as a separate component in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For assets and liabilities we record or disclose at fair value, we determine the fair value based upon the quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not The fair values are assigned a level within the following fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of assets or liabilities: ● Level 1 – Observable inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; ● Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no See Notes 8 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our fair value measurements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents Our cash management program provides for the investment of excess cash balances in short-term money market instruments.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment and Depreciation Property and equipment, net, is reported at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets We review our long-lived assets related to each restaurant to be held and used in the business, including any allocated intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a restaurant may not not When we decide to close a restaurant it is reviewed for impairment and depreciable lives are considered for adjustment. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use through the expected disposal date and the expected terminal value. Any gain or loss recognized upon disposal of the assets associated with a closed restaurant is recorded as a component of Closures and impairments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Lease Obligations 274 of our 543 205 69 20 not These leases may Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals during the term of the lease, which includes option periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty. For these leases, we recognize the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, beginning with the point at which we obtain control and possession of the leased properties, and record the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred escalating minimum rent. Any lease incentives received are deferred and subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense.
Self Insurance Reserve [Policy Text Block]	Estimated Liability for Self-Insurance We self-insure a portion of our expected losses under our employee health care benefits, workers ’ compensation, general liability, and property insurance programs. Specifically with our workers’ compensation and general liability coverages, we have stop loss insurance for individual claims in excess of stated loss amounts. Insurance liabilities are recorded based on third
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Pensions and Post-Retirement Medical Benefits We measure and recognize the funded status of our defined benefit and postretirement plans in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of our fiscal year end. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of future salary increases and years of service, as applicable.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. We present sales net of coupons, discounts, sales tax, and other sales-related taxes. Deferred revenue-gift cards primarily represents our liability for gift cards that have been sold, but not Breakage income represents the value associated with the portion of gift cards sold that will most likely never be redeemed. Using gift card redemption history, we have determined that substantially all of our customers utilize their gift cards within two 24 We recognized gift card breakage income of $2.4 million, $2.1 $2.0 2017, 2016, 2015, Franchise development and license fees received are recognized when substantially all of our material obligations under the franchise agreements have been performed and the restaurant has opened for business.

We estimate the fair value of service-based stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are based on the closing prices of our common stock on the dates prior to the grant date. This compensation expense is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis for all awards except those awarded to retirement-eligible individuals, which are recognized on the grant date at estimated fair value. We classify share-based compensation expense consistent with all other compensation expenses in General and administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. See Note 10

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes Our deferred income taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Temporary differences represent the cumulative taxable or deductible amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements in different years than recognized in the tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If, after consideration of all available positive and negative evidence, current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, the need for a valuation allowance is addressed. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets may The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. We recognize in our consolidated financial statements the benefit of a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not 50% 50% See Note 9
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.

Comprehensive loss is shown as a separate component in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For assets and liabilities we record or disclose at fair value, we determine the fair value based upon the quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not The fair values are assigned a level within the following fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of assets or liabilities: ● Level 1 – Observable inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; ● Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no See Notes 8 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our fair value measurements.

[1]	The funded status reflected above includes the liabilities attributable to all of the Pension Plans but only the assets of the Retirement Plan as the other plans are not considered funded for Employee Retirement Income Security Act purposes. To provide a source for the payment of benefits under the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and the Management Retirement Plan, we own life insurance contracts on some of the participants. The cash value of these policies (Level 2), which are included within the Other Assets caption in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $25.4 million and $27.9 million at June 6, 2017 and May 31, 2016, respectively. In addition, we reclassified as Restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as as of June 6, 2017 and May 31, 2016 $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of cash held in trust that is restricted for benefit payments under these plans. We maintain a rabbi trust to hold the policies and death benefits as they are received.

[1]	The sum of the quarterly loss per share does not equal the reported annual amount as each is computed independently based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.
[2]	We define gross profit as revenue less cost of goods sold, payroll and related costs, and other restaurant operating costs. As previously discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we reclassified amortization of intangible assets from other restaurant operating costs to depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the prior fiscal year to be comparable with the classification for the fiscal year ended June 6, 2017.
