ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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”) franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out, express restaurants and ghost kitchens domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. The Company also licenses pizza kiosks under the “Pizza Inn” trademark. We facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through agreements with third party distributors. As of June 30, 2024, we had 126 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants, 20 franchised Pie Five Units, and three licensed Pizza Inn Express, or PIE, kiosks (“PIE Units”). The 102 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 78 pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”), six delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”), 17 express restaurants (“Express Units”), and one ghost kitchen (“Pizza Inn Ghost Kitchen Units”). As of June 30, 2024, there were 24 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. Domestic Pizza Inn restaurants and kiosks were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas and Mississippi accounting for approximately 23%, 16%, 14% and 10%, respectively, of the total number of domestic units. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate 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. Short Term Investments: The Company holds short term investments in treasury bills, classified as trading securities. Accordingly, interest income is recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income, when earned. Management has elected to classify all treasury bills as short-term, regardless of their maturity dates, as these are readily available to fund current operations and can be liquidated at any time at the discretion of the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, the Company held treasury bills valued at $4.9 million and zero, respectively, which are included within short term investments on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest income is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, interest income recognized on the treasury bills was $151 thousand and zero, respectively. Fair Value Measurements: Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are categorized based on the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three levels: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and therefore reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury bills at June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, was determined using level 1 observable inputs. Management believes the carrying amounts of other financial instruments at June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are representative of their fair values due to their short term maturities. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2024: Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total U.S. Treasury bills $ 4,944,929 $ — $ — $ 4,944,929 $ 4,944,929 $ — $ — $ 4,944,929 The Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities at June 25, 2023 that were measured at fair value. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. These items are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy. Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Balances in accounts are insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $250 thousand per institution. At June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of FDIC insurance coverage of approximately $2.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests in U.S. Treasury bills, which are considered short term investments. While U.S. Treasury bills are not insured by the FDIC, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As a result, the Company believes the credit risk associated with these investments is minimal. Notes receivable, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of promissory notes from franchise agreements and structured Company-financed sales of assets. At June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, and at various times during the fiscal years then ended, the Company had concentrations of credit risk with four franchisees on notes receivables with both short and long term maturities. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had one short term notes receivable and three long term notes receivable with four franchisees. The financed asset sales were executed with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8%. Principal payments are due monthly and mature from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2027. Property and Equipment : Property 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 any property or equipment, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are 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 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 and eventual disposition of the assets compared to their carrying value. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of an impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. The Company recognized, pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses: Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from franchise royalties and supplier concessions. The Company records an allowance for credit losses 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. The Company monitors franchisee receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high risk accounts receivable. Provision for credit losses decreased by $4 thousand to $69 thousand in fiscal 2024 compared to $73 thousand in fiscal 2023 primarily related to collectability concerns on international accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for credit losses from continuing operations consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2024 June 25, 2023 Beginning balance $ 58 $ 27 Provision for credit losses 69 73 Amounts written off (70 ) (42 ) Ending balance $ 57 $ 58 Notes Receivable: Notes receivable primarily consist of promissory notes arising from franchisee agreements and structured Company-financed sales of assets. The majority of amounts and terms are evidenced by formal promissory notes and personal guarantees. All notes allow for early payment without penalty. Fixed principal payments are due monthly. Notes receivable mature at various dates through 2027 and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 4.8% at June 30, 2024. Notes receivable are reported at original issue amount less principal repaid, reduced by an allowance for credit losses. An allowance for expected credit losses is determined based on a specific assessment of all notes that are delinquent or determined to be doubtful to be collected. Notes are considered delinquent if the repayment terms are not met. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses in the period that determination is made. The allowance for credit losses for notes receivable incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each note upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. As of June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, there were no modifications to notes receivable. In evaluating the notes receivable, the Company determines that the notes are pooled based on historical collections and write-offs for purposes of determining its allowance for credit losses related to notes receivable. These notes have an amortized cost of approximately $147 thousand and $133 thousand at June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, respectively. Historical loss information for notes receivable at the Company shows a 0% loss rate over the contractual term As of June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, the Company has not recorded any allowance for credit losses related to the notes receivable balances. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, the Company did not have any notes receivable with past due or non-accrual status. The total amount of write-offs of notes receivable were zero for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023. The expected principal collections on notes receivable for the next two years are as follows as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands): Notes Receivable 2025 $ 68 2026 79 $ 147 Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance on ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes 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 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. Future sources of taxable income are also considered in determining the amount of any required valuation allowance. There are no material uncertain tax positions. Management’s position is that all relevant requirements are met and necessary returns have been filed, and therefore the tax positions taken on the tax returns would be sustained upon examination. Under ASC 740, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. From time to time, the Company may be assessed interest and penalties by taxing authorities. In those cases, the charges are recorded as income tax expense, as incurred, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. The following describes principal activities, separated by major product or service, from which the Company generates its revenues: Franchise Revenues Franchise revenues consist of 1) franchise royalties, 2) supplier and distributor incentive revenues, 3) franchise license fees, 4) area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees, 5) advertising funds, and 6) supplier convention funds. Franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of franchise restaurant sales, are recognized as sales occur. Supplier and distributor incentive revenues are recognized when title to the underlying commodities transfer. Franchise license fees are typically billed upon execution of the franchise agreement and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement, which typically range from five 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets and allocated on a pro rata basis to all stores opened under that specific development agreement as the stores are opened. Area development exclusivity fees that include rights to sub-franchise are amortized as revenue over the term of the contract. Advertising fund contributions for Pizza Inn and Pie Five 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 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. Pizza Inn and Pie Five marketing fund contributions are billed and collected weekly or monthly. Supplier convention funds are deferred until the obligations of the agreement are met and the event takes place. Rental income is income from our subleasing of some of our restaurant space to third parties. Total revenues consist of the following (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 June 25, 2023 Franchise royalties $ 4,844 $ 4,978 Supplier and distributor incentive revenues 4,833 4,418 Franchise license fees 281 152 Area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees 15 18 Advertising funds contributions 1,814 1,943 Supplier convention funds 217 172 Rental income 131 186 Other 15 22 $ 12,150 $ 11,889 The opening balance of accounts receivable on June 26, 2022 was $2.0 million. The opening balance of deferred revenues on June 26, 2022 was $1.3 million. Revenue recognized in fiscal 2024 that was in the deferred revenue balance at June 25, 2023 was $0.5 million. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on stock-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. 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 RSUs is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the 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. 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. 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 on ASC 450 Accounting for Contingencies 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 30, 2024 contained 53 weeks and the fiscal year ended June 25, 2023 contained 52 weeks. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “standard”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Subsequently, the FASB issued several clarifying standard updates to clarify and improve the ASU. These ASUs significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model that will be based on an estimate of current expected credit loss (“CECL”). Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in Topic 326 were trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company adopted the standard effective June 26, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and primarily resulted in new and enhanced disclosures only. |
