RAVE RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”), franchises pizza buffet (“Buffet
Units”), delivery/carry-out (“Delco Units”) and express (“Express Units”) restaurants under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and franchises fast casual pizza restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and ghost kitchens (“Pie Five Ghost Kitchen Units”) under
the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. 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. 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 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, 2023.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the
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.
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
Fiscal Quarters
The three and six month periods ended December 24, 2023 and December 25, 2022 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Statements - Credit
Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of
reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance was effective for the Company on June 26, 2023. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures as a result of adopting this standard.
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 to 20
years. Fees received for renewal periods are amortized over the life of the renewal period.
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 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
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. 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
The Company subleases some of its restaurant space to a third party. The Company’s sublease has terms that end in 2025. The sublease
agreement is 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 (“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.
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 to 10
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 subleases some of its restaurant space to a third party. The Company’s sublease has terms that end in 2025. The sublease
agreement is 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.
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 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.
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, a lease that, at commencement, have a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise). Accordingly, we recognize lease
payments related to our short-term leases in our income statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term which has not changed from our prior recognition. To the extent that there are variable lease payments, we recognize those
payments in our income statements in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Note G - Segment Reporting
The Company has two
reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by ASC 280 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information: (1) Pizza Inn Franchising and (2) Pie Five Franchising.
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 three operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The Pizza Inn and Pie Five Franchising segments establish franchisees, licensees and territorial rights. Revenue for these segments are
derived from franchise royalties, franchise fees, sale of area development and foreign master license rights and incentive payments from third party suppliers and distributors. Assets for these segments include equipment, furniture and
fixtures.
Corporate administration and other assets primarily include 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 operating revenues, depreciation and amortization expense, and income before taxes for the

The domestic units were located in 17 states predominantly situated in the southern half of the United States. The international units were located in seven foreign countries.
Basic net income per share increased $0.02 per share to $0.04 per share for the three months ended December 24, 2023, compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
The Company had net income of $0.6 million for the three months ended December 24, 2023 compared to net income of $0.3 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $2.8 million for the three months ended December 24,
2023 compared to $2.9 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to decreases in franchise royalties and supplier and distributor incentives impacted by decreased store count offset by
increased comparable store retail sales.
Basic net income per share increased $0.03 per share to $0.07 per share for the six months ended December 24, 2023, compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The
Company had net income of $0.9 million for the six months ended December 24, 2023 compared to net income of $0.7 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $5.9 million for the six months ended December 24, 2023
compared to $5.9 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The stability in revenue was primarily due to increases in default and closed store revenues and franchise royalties, offset by a decrease in deferred marketing revenue.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Although the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have diminished in recent periods, 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. Therefore, despite the official end of the pandemic, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot presently
be predicted.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the Company also presents and
discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. 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. 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 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-based compensation 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.
|
| ● |
“Retail sales” represents the restaurant sales reported by our franchisees, which may be segmented by brand or domestic/international locations.
|
| ● |
“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.
|
| ● |
“Non-operating store costs” represent gain or loss on asset disposal, store closure expenses, lease termination expenses and expenses related to abandoned store sites.
|
| ● |
“Franchisee default and closed store revenue/expense” represents the net of accelerated revenues and costs attributable to defaulted area development agreements and closed franchised stores.
|
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended December 24, 2023 remained relatively stable at $0.6 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Year-to-date
Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively stable at $1.2 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown (in thousands):

Pie Five total domestic retail sales decreased $0.6 million, or 11.4%, for the three months ended December 24, 2023 when compared to the same period of the prior year. Compared to
the same fiscal quarter of the prior year, average units open in the period decreased from 31 to 25. Comparable store retail sales remained relatively stable at $4.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of
the prior year. For the three months ended December 24, 2023, the decrease in domestic retail sales were primarily the result of the decrease in store count, offset by an increase in comparable store retail sales. For the six months ended
December 24, 2023, the decrease in domestic retail sales were primarily the result of the decrease in store count, offset by a increase in comparable store retail sales.
The following chart summarizes Pie Five restaurant activity for the three and six months ended December 24, 2023:

Revenues:
Revenues are derived from franchise royalties, franchise fees and supplier and distributor incentives, advertising funds, area development exclusivity fees and foreign master
license fees, supplier convention funds, sublease rental income, interest and other income, and sales by Company-owned restaurants. The volume of supplier incentive revenues is dependent on the level of chain-wide retail sales, which are impacted
by changes in comparable store sales and restaurant count, as well as the products sold to franchisees through third-party food distributors.
Total revenues for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 and for the same period of the prior fiscal year were $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Total revenues for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 and for the same period of the prior fiscal year were $5.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively.
Pizza Inn Franchise and License
Pizza Inn franchise revenues decreased by $0.1 million to $2.3 million for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
The 3.4% decrease was driven by decreases in supplier incentives, offset by increases in domestic royalties. Pizza Inn franchise revenues increased by $0.1 million to $4.9 million for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to
the same period in the prior fiscal year. The 1.1% increase was driven by increases in domestic royalties and default and closed store revenues.
Pie Five Franchise and License
Pie Five franchise revenues decreased by $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The 6.9% decrease was driven by decreases in domestic royalties and advertising fund revenues, offset by increases in default and closed store revenues. Pie Five franchise revenues decreased by $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the six month
period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 8.9% decrease was driven by decreases in domestic royalties, advertising fund revenues, and supplier and distributor incentives, offset by increases in
default and closed store revenues.
General and Administrative Expenses
Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $1.3 million for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior
fiscal year. The 7.7% decrease in total general and administrative expenses during the three month period was primarily the result of decreased corporate expenses. Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $2.7
million for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 4.9% decrease in total general and administrative expenses during the six month period was primarily the result of decreased
corporate expenses.
Franchise Expenses
Franchise expenses include general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of domestic and international franchises. Total franchise
expenses decreased by $0.02 million to $0.8 million for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 2.7% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising fees. Total franchise
expenses decreased by $0.05 million to $2.0 million for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 2.6% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising fees.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Other Lease Charges
Impairment of long-lived assets and other lease charges was zero for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to zero for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Impairment of long-lived assets and other lease charges was zero for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to $5 thousand for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to impaired beverage equipment
in the prior period.
Bad Debt Expense
The Company monitors franchisee receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high risk accounts receivable. For the three
month period ended December 24, 2023, bad debt expense was $10 thousand compared to bad debt expense of $5 thousand for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Bad debt expense for the six month period ended December 24, 2023, increased by $26
thousand to $35 thousand compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was zero for the three month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Interest expense decreased by $1 thousand to
zero for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Amortization and Depreciation Expense
Amortization and depreciation expense increased slightly for the three and six months ended December 24, 2023, compared to the same periods of the prior year. In both cases, the
increase was primarily the result of higher amortization of intangible assets.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended December 24, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $13 thousand and a tax expense of $119 thousand, respectively.
For the three and six months ended December 25, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $140 thousand and $232 thousand, respectively. The decrease for the three and six months ended as of December 24, 2023 was primarily due
to a decrease in state taxes. For the three months ended December 24, 2023, the federal tax benefit was $23 thousand and the state tax expense was $10 thousand. For the six
months ended December 24, 2023, the federal and state tax expense were $85 thousand and $34 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 25, 2022, the federal and state tax expense were $182 thousand and $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. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six month period ended December 24, 2023, the Company's primary source of liquidity was proceeds from operating activities.
Cash flows from operating activities generally reflect net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred taxes, share
based compensation, and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities
of $0.8 million for the six month period ended December 25, 2022. The primary driver of decreased operating cash flow during the six month period ended December 24, 2023 was increased collections of accounts receivable related to the employee
retention credit in the prior year.
Cash flows from investing activities reflect net proceeds from the sale of assets and capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets. Cash used in investing activities
during the six month period ended December 24, 2023 was nil compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million for the six months ended December 25, 2022.
Cash flows used in financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's stock and debt activity during the period. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.3
million for the six month period ended December 24, 2023 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5.0 million for the six month period ended December 25, 2022. Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended December
24, 2023 was primarily attributable to taxes paid on vested RSUs. Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended December 25, 2022 was primarily attributable to repurchases of the Company's stock.
Management believes the cash on hand combined with net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months and beyond.
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 an allowance for credit losses 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 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.
Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, area development and foreign master license agreements, advertising fund revenues, supplier incentive and
convention contribution revenues. 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 as retail sales occur. Supplier incentive revenues are recognized as earned, typically as the underlying commodities are shipped.
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 the 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 operating performance.
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 December 24, 2023 and December 25, 2022, 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.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have evaluated the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
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 the Company.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
