This Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities 
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995,  which  are  intended  to  be  covered  by  the  safe  harbors  created  thereby.    Forward-
looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or 
conditions, or which include words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” or similar 
expressions.    These  statements  include  the  plans  and  objectives  of  management  for  future  operations,  including 
plans and objectives relating to future  growth of our business activities and availability  of funds.  Statements  that 
address business and growth strategies, performance goals, projected financial condition and operating results, our 
understanding of our competition, industry and market trends, and any other statements or assumptions that are not 
historical facts are forward-looking statements. 

The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K are based on current expectations that 
involve numerous risks and uncertainties.  Assumptions relating to these forward-looking statements involve 
judgments  with  respect  to,  among  other  things,  future  economic,  competitive  and  market  conditions, 
regulatory  framework  and  future  business  decisions,  all  of  which  are  difficult  or  impossible  to  predict 
accurately and many of which are beyond our control.  Although we believe that the assumptions underlying 
these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, 
there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K will prove to be 
accurate.  In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion 
of such information should not be regarded as a representation that our objectives and plans will be achieved. 

PART I 

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS. 

General 

Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or in the first 
person  notations  of  “we”,  “us”  and  “our”)  operate  and  franchise  pizza  buffet,  delivery/carry-out  and  express 
restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operate and franchise domestic fast 
casual  restaurants  under  the  trademarks  “Pie  Five  Pizza  Company”  or  “Pie  Five”.    We  provide  or  facilitate  the 
procurement  and  distribution  of  food,  equipment  and  supplies  to  our  domestic  and  international  system  of 
restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third 
party distributors.   

As of June 26, 2016, we owned and operated 32 restaurants comprised of 31 Pie Five restaurants (“Pie Five 
Units”)  and  one  Pizza  Inn  buffet  restaurant  (“Buffet  Unit”).    As  of  that  date,  we  also  had  57  franchised  Pie  Five 
Units and 221 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants.  The 161 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised 
of 95 Buffet Units, 15 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 51 express restaurants (“Express Units”).  
The 60 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 12 Buffet Units, 40 Delco Units and eight 
Express  Units.    Domestic  restaurants  were  located  predominantly  in  the  southern  half  of  the  United  States,  with 
Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas and Kansas accounting for approximately 33%, 12%, 10% and 6%, respectively, of 
the total number of domestic restaurants.   

Our History 

The  Company  has  offered  consumers  affordable,  high  quality  pizza  since  1958,  when  the  first  Pizza  Inn 
restaurant opened in Dallas, Texas.  We awarded our first franchise in 1963 and opened our first buffet restaurant in 
1969.  We began franchising the Pizza Inn brand internationally in the late 1970s.  In 1993, our stock began trading 
on  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market,  and  presently  trades  on  the  NASDAQ  Capital  Market  under  the  ticker  symbol 
“RAVE.”  In June 2011, we opened the first Pie Five restaurant in Ft. Worth, Texas.  In November 2012, we signed 
our first franchise development agreement for Pie Five.

Our Concepts 

We operate and franchise restaurant concepts under two distinct brands: Pie Five and Pizza Inn.   

Pie Five 

Pie Five is a fast-casual pizza concept that creates individualized pizzas which are baked in 140 seconds in 
our  specially  designed  oven.    Pizzas  are  created  at  the  direction  of  our  customers  who  choose  from  a  variety  of 
freshly  prepared  and  displayed  toppings,  cheeses,  sauces  and  doughs  and  complete  their  purchase  process  in  less 
than  five  minutes.    Customers  can  also  get  freshly  prepared  entrée  and  side  salads,  also  made  to  order  from  our 
recipes or at the customer's direction.  They can also choose from several baked daily desserts like brownies, cookie 
pies,  and  cakes.    A  variety  of  soft  beverages  are  available,  as  well  as  beer  and  wine  in  some  locations.    Pie  Five 
restaurants offer items at prices from $5.99 to $11.99, and the average ticket price per meal, including a drink, was 
approximately $7.75 per person for fiscal year 2016. The average per person ticket is slightly higher in restaurants 
offering beer and wine. 

Pie Five restaurants typically  occupy leased, in-line or end-cap space of between  1,800 and 2,400 square 
feet in retail strip or multi-unit retail space.  The restaurants typically are located in high traffic, high visibility urban 
or suburban sites in mid- to large-size metropolitan areas.  With seating for 65 to 85 customers in most units, and 
patio seating where available, Pie Five restaurants primarily serve lunch and dinner to families, adults and kids of all 
ages.  Sales are predominantly on-premise though carry out is offered as well. Future sales growth initiatives may 
include expanded text ordering and catering services.  Due to the relatively compact footprint of the restaurants, and 
other operating advantages, we also believe Pie Five is well suited for non-traditional locations such as airports. 

Pizza Inn 

We  operate  Buffet  Units,  Delco  Units  and  Express  Units  under  the  Pizza  Inn  brand.    Buffet  Units  and 
Delco Units  feature  crusts that are hand-made  from dough  made fresh in the restaurant  each day.  Our pizzas are 
made  with  a  proprietary  all-in-one  flour  mixture,  real  mozzarella  cheese  and  a  proprietary  mix  of  classic  pizza 
spices.  In international markets, the menu mix of toppings and side items is occasionally adapted to local tastes.     

Buffet  Units  offer  dine-in,  carryout  and  catering  service  and,  in  many  cases,  also  offer  delivery  service.  
Buffet Units offer a variety of pizza crusts with standard toppings and special combinations of toppings in addition 
to  pasta,  salad,  sandwiches,  appetizers,  desserts  and  beverages,  including  beer  and  wine  in  some  locations,  in  an 
informal,  family-oriented  atmosphere.    We  occasionally  offer  other  items  on  a  limited  promotional  basis.    Buffet 
Units  are  generally  located  in  free  standing  buildings  or  strip  center  locations  in  retail  developments  in  close 
proximity to offices, shopping centers and residential areas.  The current standard Buffet Units are between 2,100 
and 4,500 square feet in size  and seat 120 to 185 customers.  The interior decor is designed to promote a casual, 
lively,  contemporary,  family-style  atmosphere.    Some  Buffet  Units  feature  game  rooms  that  offer  a  range  of 
electronic game entertainment for the entire family.  The buffet is typically offered at prices from $6.49 to $8.49, 
and  the  average  ticket  price,  including  a  drink,  was  approximately  $9.70  per  person  for  fiscal  year  2016.    The 
average per person ticket is slightly higher in restaurants offering beer and wine. 

Delco Units offer delivery and carryout service only and are typically located in shopping centers or other 
in-line  retail  developments.    Delco  Units  typically  offer  a  variety  of  crusts  and  some  combination  of  side  items.  
Delco Units occupy approximately 1,200 square feet, are primarily production facilities  and, in most instances, do 
not offer seating.    The decor of the Delco Unit is designed to be bright and highly visible and feature neon lighted 
displays and awnings.  We have attempted to locate Delco Units strategically to facilitate timely delivery service and 
to provide easy access for carryout service.  

Express  Units serve our customers through a  variety of  non-traditional points of sale.    Express  Units are 
typically located in a convenience store, food court, college campus, airport terminal, travel plaza, athletic facility or 
other commercial facility.  They have limited or no seating and solely offer quick carryout service of a limited menu 
of pizza and other foods and beverages.  An Express Unit typically occupies approximately 200 to 400 square  feet 
and  is  commonly  operated  by  the  operator  or  food  service  licensee  of  the  commercial  host  facility.    We  have 
developed a high-quality pre-prepared crust that is topped and cooked on-site, allowing this concept to offer a lower 
initial investment and reduced labor and operating costs  while  maintaining product quality and consistency.   Like 
Delco  Units,  Express  Units  are  primarily  production-oriented  facilities  and,  therefore,  do  not  require  all  of  the 
equipment, labor or square footage of the Buffet Unit.

Site Selection 

We  consider  the  restaurant  site  selection  process  critical  to  a  restaurant’s  long-term  success  and  devote 
significant  resources  to  the  investigation  and  evaluation  of  potential  sites.  The  site  selection  process  includes  a 
review  of  trade  area  demographics  through  the  use  of  a  third  party  customer  and  site  selection  tool,  as  well  as  a 
proprietary  evaluation  process.    We  may  also  rely  on  a  franchisee’s  knowledge  of  the  trade  area  and  market 
characteristics when selecting a location for a franchised restaurant. A member of our development team visits each 
potential domestic restaurant location.   

Development and Operations 

New Unit Development 

We  intend  to  expand  the  Pizza  Inn  system  domestically  and  internationally  in  markets  with  significant 
long-term  growth  potential  and  where  we  believe  we  can  use  our  competitive  strengths  to  establish  brand 
recognition and gain local market share.  While we plan to expand our Pizza Inn branded domestic restaurant base 
primarily  through  opening  new  franchised  restaurants  with  new  and  existing  franchisees,  we  will  continue  to 
evaluate our mix of Company-owned and franchised restaurants.  We  will evaluate the development of new Pizza 
Inn Buffet and Delco Units in international markets in fiscal 2017, particularly in the Middle East. 

In appropriate circumstances, we grant area developer rights for Pizza Inn restaurants in new and existing 
domestic  markets.    A  Pizza  Inn  area  developer  typically  pays  a  negotiated  fee  to  purchase  the  right  to  operate  or 
develop restaurants within a defined territory and, typically, agrees to a multi-restaurant development schedule. The 
area developer assists us in local franchise service and quality control in exchange for half of the franchise fees and 
royalties from all restaurants within the territory during the term of the agreement.   

In fiscal 2017, we intend to continue developing franchised Pie Five Units.  As of September 12, 2016, we 
had 62 franchised units open and had executed multi-year development agreements with 23 franchisees for up to an 
additional 347 Pie Five Units to be located in the U.S., including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, 
Iowa,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maryland,  Michigan,  Mississippi,  Missouri,  Nebraska,  New  Jersey,  New 
Mexico,  North  Carolina,  Ohio,  Oklahoma,  Pennsylvania,  Tennessee,  Texas,  Virginia,  Wisconsin  and  Washington 
D.C.    The  number  of  Pie  Five  Units  subject  to  a  development  agreement  is  scaled  relative  to  the  estimated 
development  potential  of  the  specified  geographic  area  and  requires  the  franchisee  to  achieve  specified  unit 
development milestones over a period of time, typically five years, to maintain their development rights in the area.  
The  rate  at  which  we  will  be  able  to  continue  to  expand  the  Pie  Five  concept  through  franchise  development  is 
determined  in  part  by  our  success  at  selecting  qualified  franchisees,  by  our  ability  to  identify  satisfactory  sites  in 
appropriate markets and by our ability to continue training and monitoring our franchisees.  We intend to continue to 
focus on franchise development opportunities with experienced, well-capitalized, multi-restaurant operators.   

In  fiscal  2017,  we  also  intend  to  continue  to  develop  Company-owned  Pie  Five  Units  in  selected 
metropolitan areas throughout the United States.  Our ability to open new Company-owned Pie Five Units is largely 
dependent  on  our  ability  to  identify  and  secure  suitable  locations,  to  manage  and  fund  the  development  of  such 
locations and to train and staff the restaurants.  

Domestic Franchise Operations 

Franchise  and  development  agreements.    We  discontinued  offering  new  Delco  Franchises  during  fiscal 

2014.  Our current standard forms of franchise agreements provide for the following basic terms:  

  6 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Since  the Pizza Inn concept  was  first  franchised in 1963, industry  franchising concepts and development 
strategies  have  evolved,  and  our  present  franchise  relationships  are  evidenced  by  a  variety  of  contractual  forms.  
Common to those forms are provisions that: (i) require the franchisee to follow the Pizza Inn system of restaurant 
operation and management, (ii) require the franchisee to pay a franchise fee and continuing royalties, and (iii) except 
for Express Units, prohibit the development of one restaurant within a specified distance from another. 

  We  launched  the  franchise  program  for  Pie  Five  in  fiscal  2013.    Based  on  the  Pie  Five  development 
agreements currently in effect, we anticipate allocating significant internal resources to the growth of our Pie Five 
franchise and development operation in fiscal 2017.  Our Pie Five franchise agreement requires that the franchisees: 
(i)  follow  the  Pie  Five  system  of  restaurant  operation  and  management,  (ii)  pay  a  franchise  fee  and  continuing 
royalties, (iii) contribute a specified percentage of sales to a marketing fund managed by the Company, and (iv) only 
open restaurants that comply with site and design standards determined by the Company. 

Training.    We  offer  numerous  training  programs  for  the  benefit  of  franchisees  and  their  restaurant  crew 
managers.  The training programs, taught by experienced Company employees, focus on food preparation, service, 
cost  control,  sanitation,  safety,  local  store  marketing,  personnel  management  and  other  aspects  of  restaurant 
operation.    The  training  programs  include  group  classes,  supervised  work  in  Company-owned  restaurants  and 
special field seminars.  Initial and certain supplemental training programs are offered free of charge to franchisees, 
who  pay  their  own  travel  and  lodging  expenses.    New  franchisees  also  receive  on-site  training  from  Company 
employees  to  assist  with  their  first  two  restaurant  openings  under  their  development  agreements.    Restaurant 
managers train their staff through on-the-job training, utilizing video and printed materials produced by us. 

Standards.  We require franchisee adherence to a variety of standards designed to ensure proper operations 
and  to  protect  and  enhance  the  Pie  Five  and  Pizza  Inn  brands.    All  franchisees  are  required  to  operate  their 
restaurants  in  compliance  with  these  written  policies,  standards  and  specifications,  which  include  matters  such  as 
menu  items,  ingredients,  materials,  supplies,  services,  furnishings,  decor  and  signs.    Our  efforts  to  maintain 
consistent operations may result, from time to time, in the closing of certain restaurants that have not achieved and 
maintained  a  consistent  standard  of  quality  or  operations.  We  also  maintain  adherence  to  our  standards  through 
ongoing support and education of our franchisees by our franchise business consultants, who are deployed locally in 
markets where our franchisees are located.   

Company-Owned Restaurant Operations   

As  of  June  26,  2016,  we  operated  one  Buffet  Unit  and  31  Pie  Five  Units,  in  the  Dallas/Fort  Worth, 
Houston,  Atlanta,  Minneapolis  and  Chicago  metropolitan  areas.  We  do  not  currently  intend  to  operate  any  Delco 
Units  or  Express  Units.    Our  ability  to  open  Company-owned  restaurants  is  affected  by  a  number  of  factors, 
including  the  terms  of  available  financing  and  our  ability  to  locate  suitable  sites,  negotiate  acceptable  lease  or 
purchase terms, secure appropriate local governmental permits and approvals, supervise construction and recruit and 
train  management  personnel.    In  addition  to  generating  revenues  and  earnings,  we  use  domestic  Company-owned 
restaurants as  test  sites  for new products and promotions as  well as restaurant operational improvements and as a 
forum for training new managers and franchisees.   

Developing  Company-owned  Pie  Five  Units  in  multiple  metropolitan  areas  is  a  key  component  of  our 
strategic plan.  In addition to providing the Company with an attractive economic return, we believe that developing 
a  domestic network of  Company-owned  Pie Five  Units is  an important  aspect of our strategy  for growing the Pie 
Five system.  Growth in both the franchised and Company-owned Pie Five Units in operation improves the system’s 
overall  economies  of  scale  for  advertising,  marketing,  information  systems,  distribution  and  procurement  of  food 
products, and other costs.

International Franchise Operations 

We  also  offer  master  license  rights  to  develop  Pizza  Inn  restaurants  in  certain  foreign  countries,  with 
negotiated  fees,  development  schedules  and  ongoing  royalties.    A  master  licensee  for  a  foreign  country  pays  a 
negotiated fee to purchase the right to develop and operate Pizza Inn restaurants within a defined territory, typically 
for a term of 20 years, plus a ten-year renewal option.  The master licensee agrees to a multi-restaurant development 
schedule and we train the master licensee to monitor and assist franchisees in their territory with local service and 
quality control, with support from us.  In return, the master licensee typically retains half the franchise fees and half 
the  royalties  on  all  restaurants  within  the  territory  during  the  term  of  the  agreement.    Master  licensees  may  open 
restaurants  that  they  own  and  operate,  or  they  may  open  sub-franchised  restaurants  owned  and  operated  by  third 
parties through agreements with the master licensee, but subject to our approval. 

Our first franchised restaurant outside of the United States opened in the late 1970s.  As of  June 26, 2016, 
there were 60 Pizza Inn restaurants operating internationally. With the exception of two restaurants in Honduras and 
one  in  Bangladesh,  all  of  the  restaurants  operated  or  sub-licensed  by  our  international  master  licensees  are  in  the 
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and adjoining countries. Our ability to continue to develop select international 
markets is affected by a number of factors, including our ability to locate experienced, well-capitalized developers 
who  can  commit  to  an  aggressive  multi-restaurant  development  schedule  and  achieve  maximum  initial  market 
penetration  with  minimal  supervision by  us.  In the future,  we  may also pursue international opportunities  for the 
development of Pie Five franchisees. 

Food and Supply Distribution 

Our  Norco  division  provides  product  sourcing,  purchasing,  quality  assurance,  research  and  development, 
franchisee order and billing services, and logistics support functions for both the Pizza Inn and Pie Five restaurant 
systems.    We  outsource  our  warehousing  and  distribution  services  to  reputable  and  experienced  restaurant 
distribution companies, including Performance Food Group, Inc. and its affiliates.  The distributors make deliveries 
to  all  domestic  restaurants  from  several  distribution  centers,  with  delivery  territories  and  responsibilities  for  each 
determined  according  to  geographical  region.    We  believe  this  division  of  responsibilities  for  our  purchasing, 
franchisee support and distribution systems has resulted in lower operating costs and logistical efficiencies.  Norco 
also arranges for the distribution of certain products and equipment to some international franchisees. 

Effective  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2015,  we  changed  our  distribution  arrangements  to  shift  the 
responsibility for maintaining system-wide inventory from Norco to third party distributors.  As a result, as of June 
26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, inventory consisted primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in and used 
by Company restaurants. 

Norco  is  able  to  leverage  the  advantages  of  direct  vendor  negotiations  and  volume  purchasing  of  food, 
equipment  and  supplies  for  the  franchisees’  benefit  in  the  form  of  a  concentrated,  one-truck  delivery  system, 
competitive  pricing  and  product  consistency.    Franchisees  are  able  to  purchase  all  products  and  ingredients  from 
Norco  and  have  them  delivered  by  experienced  and  efficient  distributors.    In  order  to  assure  product  quality  and 
consistency, our  franchisees are required to purchase from  Norco certain food products that are proprietary to the 
Pizza  Inn  and  Pie  Five  systems,  including  cheese,  pizza  sauce,  flour  mixture,  certain  meats  and  spice  blend.    In 
addition,  franchisees  purchase  other  non-proprietary  food  products  and  supplies  from  Norco.    Alternatively, 
franchisees  may  also  purchase  non-proprietary  products  and  supplies  from  other  suppliers  who  meet  our 
requirements for quality and reliability.    

Non-proprietary food and ingredients, equipment and other supplies sold by Norco are generally available 
from several qualified sources.  With the exception of several proprietary food products, such as cheese and dough 
flour,  we  are  not  dependent  upon  any  one  supplier  or  a  limited  group  of  suppliers.    We  contract  with  established 
food processors for the production of our proprietary products according to our specifications.   

We  have  not  experienced  any  significant  shortages  of  supplies  or  any  delays  in  receiving  our  food  or 
beverage inventories, restaurant supplies or products, and do not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining inventories or 
supplies in the foreseeable future.  Prices charged to us by our suppliers are subject to fluctuation, and we  typically 
pass  increased  costs  or  savings  on  to  our  franchisees  through  changes  in  product  pricing.    We  do  not  engage  in 
commodity  hedging  but  enter  into  pricing  arrangements  for  up  to  a  year  in  advance  for  certain  high  volume 
products. 

Marketing and Advertising 

  8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
By communicating a common brand message at the regional, local market and restaurant levels, we believe 
we can create and reinforce a strong, consistent marketing message to consumers and increase our market share.  We 
offer or facilitate a number of ways for the brand image and message to be promoted at the local and regional levels. 

The Pizza Inn Advertising Plan Cooperative (“PIAP Cooperative”) is a Texas cooperative association that 
is responsible for creating and producing  various marketing programs and materials, which may include print and 
digital advertisements, direct mail materials, social media and e-mail marketing, television and radio commercials, 
in-store  promotional  materials,  and  related  marketing  and  public  relations  services.    Each  operator  of  a  domestic 
Buffet  Unit  or  Delco  Unit  is  entitled  to  membership  in  PIAP  Cooperative.    Nearly  all  of  our  existing  Pizza  Inn 
franchise  agreements  for  Buffet  Units  and  Delco  Units  require  the  franchisees  to  become  members  of  PIAP 
Cooperative.  Members contribute 1% of their sales to PIAP Cooperative.  PIAP Cooperative is managed by a board 
of trustees comprised of franchisee representatives who are elected by the members each year.  We do not have any 
ownership interest in PIAP Cooperative.  We provide certain administrative, marketing and other services to PIAP 
Cooperative and are paid by PIAP Cooperative for such services.  As of June 26, 2016, the Company-owned Buffet 
Unit and substantially all of  our  domestic  franchisees  were  members of PIAP Cooperative.  Operators of Express 
Units do not participate in PIAP Cooperative.  However, they contribute up to 1% of their sales directly to us to help 
fund  purchases  of  Express  Unit  marketing  materials  and  similar  expenditures.  International  franchisees  do  not 
participate in PIAP Cooperative.   

In  the  past  year  we  have  allocated  additional  resources  to  the  development  and  execution  of  marketing 
programs  for  the  Pie  Five  restaurant  system  to  benefit  Pie  Five  franchisees  and  Company-owned  restaurants  in 
different metropolitan areas.  Pie Five franchisees contribute a specified percentage of their sales to the Company to 
fund the creation and production of various marketing and advertising programs and materials, which may include 
print  and  digital  advertisements,  direct  mail  materials,  customer  satisfaction  systems,  social  media  and  e-mail 
marketing,  television  and  radio  commercials,  in-store  promotional  materials,  and  related  marketing  and  public 
relations services.  We anticipate continuing to expand Pie Five marketing activities commensurate with the growth 
of the Pie Five system.   

Pizza  Inn  and  Pie  Five  franchisees  are  required  to  conduct  independent  marketing  efforts  in  addition  to 
their participation in the national marketing programs for each brand.  We provide Company-owned and franchised 
restaurants with access to an assortment of local store marketing materials, including pre-approved print, radio, and 
digital  media  marketing  materials.    We  also  provide  local  store  marketing  materials  and  programs  specifically  to 
support new restaurant openings. 

Trademarks and Quality Control 

We own various trademarks, including the names “Pizza Inn” and “Pie Five,” that are used in connection 
with the restaurants and have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  The duration of 
our trademarks is unlimited, subject to periodic renewal and continued use.  In addition, we have obtained trademark 
registrations for our marks in several foreign countries and have periodically re-filed and applied for registration in 
others.  We believe that we hold the necessary rights for protection of the trademarks essential to our business. 

Government Regulation 

We  and our  franchisees are subject to various federal, state  and local laws affecting  the operation of our 
restaurants.  Each restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which 
include  health,  safety,  sanitation,  wage  and  hour,  alcoholic  beverage,  building  and  fire  agencies  in  the  state  or 
municipality in which the restaurant is located.  Difficulties in obtaining, or the failure to obtain, required licenses or 
approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new restaurant or require the temporary or permanent closing of 
existing restaurants in a particular area. 

We are subject to Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regulation and to various state laws regulating the 
offer  and  sale  of  franchises.    The  FTC  requires  us  to  furnish  to  prospective  franchisees  a  franchise  disclosure 
document  containing  prescribed  information.    Substantive  state  laws  that  regulate  the  franchisor-franchisee 
relationship presently exist in a number of states, and bills have been introduced in Congress from time to time that 
would  provide  for  further  federal  regulation  of  the  franchisor-franchisee  relationship  in  certain  respects.    Some 
foreign  countries  also  have  disclosure  requirements  and  other  laws  regulating  franchising  and  the  franchisor-
franchisee relationship.

Employees 

As of  September 12, 2016, we had  558 employees, including  48 in our corporate  office and  44 full-time 
and 466 part-time employees at the Company-owned restaurants.  None of our employees are currently covered by 
collective bargaining agreements. 

Industry and Competition 

The  restaurant  industry  is  intensely  competitive  with  respect  to  price,  service,  location  and  food  quality, 
and there are many well-established competitors with substantially greater brand recognition and financial and other 
resources than the Company.  Competitors include a large number of international, national and regional restaurant 
and  pizza  chains,  as  well  as  local  restaurants  and  pizza  operators.    Some  of  our  competitors  may  be  better 
established in the markets where our restaurants are or may be located.  Within the pizza segment of the restaurant 
industry,  we believe  that our  primary competitors are national pizza chains and several regional chains,  including 
chains executing a “take and bake” concept.  We also compete against the frozen pizza products available at grocery 
stores and large superstore retailers.  In recent years several competitors have developed fast-casual pizza concepts 
that compete with Pie Five in certain metropolitan areas.  A change in the pricing or other market strategies of one 
or more of our competitors could have an adverse impact on our sales and earnings. 

With respect to the sale of franchises, we compete with many franchisors of restaurants and other business 
concepts.  We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the sale of franchises are product quality, price, 
value,  consumer  acceptance,  franchisor  experience  and  support,  and  the  quality  of  the  relationship  maintained 
between the franchisor and its franchisees.  In general, there is also active competition for management personnel 
and attractive commercial real estate sites suitable for our restaurants.   

Our  Norco  division  competes  with  both  national  and  local  distributors  of  food  and  other  restaurant 
suppliers.    The  distribution  industry  is  very  competitive.    We  believe  that  the  principal  competitive  factors  in  the 
distribution industry are product quality, customer service and price.  Norco or its designees are the sole authorized 
suppliers of certain proprietary products that all Pizza Inn or Pie Five restaurants are required to use.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES. 

The Company leases its 38,130 square foot corporate office facility pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction 
with average annual lease payments of approximately $11.00 per square foot.  This lease began on December 19, 
2006  and  has  a  ten  year  term.  The  Company  is  in  discussions  with  the  landlord  to  extend  the  lease,  and  is  also 
evaluating alternative options. 

As  of  June  26,  2016,  the  Company  also  operated  one  Pizza  Inn  Buffet  Unit  and  31  Pie  Five  Units  from 
leased locations.  The operating leases cover premises from 1,765 to 4,634 square feet and have initial terms of from 
five to ten years at base rental rates of $18.00 to $42.00 per square foot and contain provisions permitting renewal 
for one or more specified terms. 

The Company has lease obligations for six non-operating locations.  These leased properties range in size 
from 2,022 to 4,000 square feet, have annual rental rates ranging from approximately $33.00 to $57.00 per square 
foot and expire between 2020 and 2026.  The Company is currently pursuing alternatives for subleasing or 
terminating the unexpired leases.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS 

AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. 

As of August 19, 2016, there were approximately 1,918 stockholders of record of the Company's common 

stock. 

The Company had no sales of unregistered securities during fiscal 2016 or 2015. 

The  Company's  common  stock  is  listed  on  the  Capital  Market  of  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market,  LLC 
(“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “RAVE”. The following table shows the highest and lowest price per share of the 
common stock during each quarterly period within the two most recent fiscal years, as reported by NASDAQ.  Such 
prices reflect inter-dealer quotations, without adjustment for any retail markup, markdown or commission. 

The Company did not pay any dividends on its common stock during the fiscal years ended  June 26, 2016 
or June 28, 2015.  Any determination to pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Company’s 
board  of  directors  and  will  be  dependent  upon  the  Company’s  results  of  operations,  financial  condition,  capital 
requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant.  Currently, there is no intention to pay any 
dividends on our common stock.  

2007 Stock Purchase Plan 

On  May  23,  2007,  the  Company’s  board  of  directors  approved  a  stock  purchase  plan  (the  “2007  Stock 
Purchase Plan”) authorizing the purchase on our behalf of up to 1,016,000 shares of our common stock in the open 
market  or  in  privately  negotiated  transactions.    On  June  2,  2008,  the  Company’s  board  of  directors  amended  the 
2007  Stock  Purchase  Plan  to  increase  the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  the  Company  may  repurchase  by 
1,000,000 shares to a total of 2,016,000 shares. On April 22, 2009 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 
1,000,000  shares  to  a  total  of  3,016,000  shares.  The  2007 Stock  Purchase  Plan  does  not  have  an  expiration  date.  
There were no stock purchases in the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016. 

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”).   Subsequent 
to June 26, 2016, the Company has not repurchased any outstanding shares but may  make further purchases under 
the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan.  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.

The domestic restaurants were located in 26 states predominately situated in the southern half of the United 

States.  The international restaurants were located in seven foreign countries.  

Basic and diluted  loss  per common  share  increased $0.67 and $0.65, respectively, to a  loss of $0.86 and 
$0.83 per share, respectively, for fiscal 2016, compared to $0.19 and $0.18 per share, respectively, in the prior fiscal 
year.  Net loss increased $7.0 million to a loss of $8.9 million for fiscal 2016 compared to a loss of $1.8 million for 
the prior fiscal year on revenues of $60.8 million for fiscal 2016 as compared to $48.2 million in fiscal 2015.  The 
increased net loss over the prior year was primarily due to impairment expense of $1.7 million and a full valuation 
allowance  of  $4.9  million  against  all  net  deferred  tax  assets,  as  well  as  decreased  income  from  the  Pizza  Inn 
international franchisee in the Middle East, increased pre-opening expenses, higher general and administrative and 
franchise costs related to additional personnel, and other resources to support the growth of the Pie Five franchising 
and  opening  of  Company-owned  restaurants.    We  also  experienced  lower  sales  and  financial  performance  by 
Company-owned Pie Five stores in newer markets.   

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016, decreased to a loss of $0.3 million compared to 
a  gain  of  $0.6  million  for  the  comparable  period  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.    The  following  table  sets  forth  a 
reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown (in thousands):

Pie Five Brand Summary 

The  following  tables  summarize  certain  key  indicators  for  the  Pie  Five  franchised  and  Company-owned 

restaurants that management believes are useful in evaluating performance. 

Pie  Five  system-wide  retail  sales  increased  $28.0  million,  or  110.4%,  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  26, 
2016  when  compared  to  the  prior  year.    System-wide  average  weekly  sales  decreased  by  $1,491,  or  10.0%,  to 
$13,417 in fiscal year 2016 from $14,907 for fiscal year 2015.  Compared to the fiscal year 2015, average units open 
in the period increased from 32 to 76.  Comparable store retail sales decreased by 5.1% during fiscal 2016 compared 
to fiscal 2015. 

The following chart summarizes Pie Five restaurant activity for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016: 

We believe that the net addition of 34 Pie Five Units during fiscal 2016 reflects the continued growth in the 
opening  of  Pie  Five  Units  as  franchised  stores  opened  pursuant  to  previously  executed  franchise  development 
agreements and the Company continued to develop its own stores in selected metropolitan areas.

As  a  result  of  increased  store  count,  total  retail  sales  of  Company-owned  Pie  Five  restaurants  increased 
$8.2 million, or 72.2%, to $19.6 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $11.4 million for fiscal 2015.  Average weekly 
sales for Company-owned Pie Five restaurants decreased $1,598, or 11.7%, to $12,093 for the fiscal year ended June 
26, 2016 compared to $13,691 for the same period of prior year. Company-owned Pie Five restaurant operating cash 
flow decreased $0.7 million, or 40.4%, during the fiscal year 2016 compared to the same period of prior year.  The 
decline  in  average  weekly  sales  and  operating  cash  flow  for  Company-owned  Pie  Five  restaurants  was  primarily 
attributable  to  lower  sales  and  weaker  financial  performance  by  stores  in  newer  markets.  Loss  from  continuing 
operations before taxes for Company-owned Pie Five  stores increased $4.8 million the  fiscal  year ended June 26, 
2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.  The higher loss from continuing operations before taxes for 
Company-owned  Pie  Five  restaurants  was  primarily  the  result  of  $1.7  million  in  impairment  charges  and  non-
operating store costs, increased pre-opening expenses in connection with new stores, and increased marketing and 
depreciation expenses associated with the expanded store count, as well as the decline in average weekly sales.

Pizza Inn Brand Summary  

The  following tables  summarize  certain  key indicators  for  the Pizza Inn  franchised and  Company-owned 

domestic restaurants that management believes are useful in evaluating performance. 

Total  domestic  Pizza  Inn  retail  sales  decreased  $4.3  million,  or  4.6%  compared  to  the  prior  year.    The 
decrease  in  domestic  retail  sales  was  primarily  due  to  a  decrease  in  store  count  combined  with  1.0%  lower 
comparable  store  retail  sales.    Loss  from  continuing  operations  before  taxes  for  Pizza  Inn  Company-owned 
restaurants was $0.2 million for the fiscal year 2016 and $0.5 million for the fiscal year 2015.  The fiscal year 2015 
loss  includes  a  $0.3  million  impairment  charge  for  a  Company-owned  Pizza  Inn  restaurant  with  insufficient 
projected future cash flows to recover the value of its long-lived assets. 

The following chart summarizes Pizza Inn restaurant activity for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016: 

There was a net decrease of 17 domestic Pizza Inn units during the fiscal year ending June 26, 2016.  We 
believe this is consistent with the recent trend of modest domestic store closures.  The number of international Pizza 
Inn units declined by 11 units.  International store closures were driven by economic weakness in the Middle East 
while domestic closures were primarily lower volume Delco/Express units.

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. 

The following key performance indicators presented herein, some of which represent non-GAAP financial 

measures, have the meaning 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 
compensation expense, pre-opening expense, costs related to impairment, non-operating store costs and 
discontinued operations. 
“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 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. 
“Pre-opening  expenses”  consist  primarily  of  certain  costs  incurred  prior  to  the  opening  of  a  restaurant, 
including: (1) marketing and promotional expenses, (2) accrued rent,  and (3) manager salaries, employee 
payroll and related training costs. 

Financial Results 

Revenues: 

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

Total revenues for fiscal 2016 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $60.8 million and $48.2 

million, respectively.  Revenue for these periods consisted of the following: 

  18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Food and Supply Sales 

Food and supply sales by Norco include food and paper products and other distribution revenues. For fiscal 
2016, food and supply sales increased 13.3% to $34.9 million compared to $30.8 million for the prior fiscal year due 
to an increase in sales to franchisees.  This increase was driven by a $16.1 million, or 15.2%, increase in domestic 
franchisee  retail  sales  attributable  to  an  increase  in  the  average  number  of  stores  open  in  the  current  year  when 
compared to prior year.   

Franchise Revenue 

Franchise  revenue,  which  includes  income  from  domestic  and  international  royalties  and  license  fees, 
increased to $5.4  million  for  fiscal 2016 compared to $4.5  million  for the prior fiscal  year as the result of  higher 
domestic and international royalties resulting from increased franchisee retail sales and an increase in franchise and 
development fees due to Pie Five store openings. 

Restaurant Sales 

Restaurant sales, which consist of revenue generated by Company-owned restaurants, increased 59.2%, or 
$7.6 million, to $20.5 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $12.9 million for the prior fiscal year.  This increase was 
due to a net of seven new Company-owned Pie Five Units in fiscal 2016. 

Costs and Expenses: 

Cost of Sales 

Cost  of  sales  primarily  includes  food  and  supply  costs,  distribution  fees,  labor  and  general  and 
administrative expenses directly related to restaurant sales. These costs increased 29.0%, or $12.0 million, to $53.3 
million  for  fiscal  2016  compared  to  $41.3  million  for  the  prior  fiscal  year.    The  increase  in  cost  of  sales  was 
primarily due to the increased number of Company-owned Pie Five restaurants and increased food and supply sales 
by Norco compared to the prior year. 

General and Administrative Expenses 

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $2.5  million  to  $7.2  million  for  fiscal  2016  compared  to 
$4.8 million for the prior fiscal year primarily due to operating expenses associated with new Company-owned Pie 
Five restaurants and future growth plans.  

Franchise Expenses 

Franchise  expenses  include  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  directly  related  to  the  sale  and 
continuing service of domestic and international franchises.  These expenses increased to $3.6 million in fiscal 2016 
from $3.2  million in the prior fiscal  year  primarily due to  higher payroll, travel and  marketing  costs during  fiscal 
2016 as a result of the addition of personnel to develop and grow the Pie Five franchise system.   

Pre-Opening Expense 

The Company's pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and generally include payroll and other direct 
costs associated with training new managers and employees prior to opening  a new restaurant, rent and other unit 
operating expenses incurred prior to opening, and promotional costs associated with the opening of Company-owned

restaurants.  Pre-opening expenses increased to $0.9 million from $0.7 million in the prior year primarily due to the 
accelerating rate of Pie Five store openings. 

Impairment Expenses 

The  Company  reviews  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  when  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying  value  of  such  assets  may  not  be  fully  recoverable.  Impairment  is  evaluated  based  on  the  sum  of 
undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of  an asset compared to its carrying value. If 
impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted 
estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year  2016, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and 
recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $1.7 million related to the carrying value Pie Five restaurants.  
During fiscal 2015, the Company recognized a $0.3 million pre-tax impairment charge on a Company-owned Pizza 
Inn restaurant. 

Provision for Bad Debt 

Bad debt provision related to accounts receivable from franchisees decreased to $0.1 million in fiscal 2016 
compared  to  $0.2  million  in  the  prior  year.    The  Company  believes  that  this  provision  and  related  allowance  for 
doubtful  accounts  adequately  reserves  for  outstanding  receivables  due  from  franchisees  whose  restaurants  closed 
and for outstanding receivables due from continuing franchisees. For restaurants that are anticipated to close or are 
exhibiting signs of financial distress, credit terms are typically restricted, weekly food orders are required to be paid 
prior  to  delivery  and  royalty  and  advertising  fees  are  collected  as  add-ons  to  the  delivered  price  of  weekly  food 
orders. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense decreased for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016, compared to the prior year due primarily 
to  lower average borrowings  on the  Company’s credit  facilities  in the current  year  which  were  paid in full in the 
second quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Provision for Income Tax 

The  Company  continually  reviews  the  realizability  of  its  deferred  tax  assets,  including  an  analysis  of 
factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. 
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $3.5 million valuation allowance against its net 
deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was increased by $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 to 
$4.0  million  and  again  in  the  fourth  quarter  by  $0.9  million  to  $4.9  million.   The  Company  assessed  whether  a 
valuation  allowance  should  be  established  against  its  deferred  tax  assets  based  on  consideration  of  all  available 
evidence,  using  a  “more  likely  than  not”  standard.  In  assessing  the  need  for  a  valuation  allowance,  the  Company 
considered  both  positive  and  negative  evidence  related  to  the  likelihood  of  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets.  In 
making  such  assessment,  more  weight  was  given  to  evidence  that  could  be  objectively  verified,  including  recent 
cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded 
valuation allowance.  Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation 
allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate. 

Income tax expense of $2.7 million for fiscal 2016 represents the $4.9 million valuation allowance partially 
offset  by  current  year  tax  benefit  of  $2.1  million  as  compared  to  $0.7  million  tax  benefit  for  fiscal  2015,  each 
calculated on an effective income tax rate that is consistent with the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% 
adjusted  for  state  income  tax  effects  and  permanent  difference  items.   As  of  tax  year  ended  June  26,  2016,  the 
Company  had  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  totaling  $7.5  million  that  are  available  to  reduce  future  taxable 
income and will begin to expire 2033. 

Discontinued Operations 

Discontinued  operations  include  losses  from  two  Pizza  Inn  locations  in  Texas.    One  is  a  leased  building 
associated  with  a  Company-owned  restaurant  closed  during  fiscal  2008.    The  other  is  results  of  operations  for  a 
Company-owned restaurant that was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 due to declining sales.

Sources and Uses of Funds 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our  primary  sources  of  liquidity  are  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  and  proceeds  from  the  sale  of 

common stock.  

Cash  flows  from  operating  activities  generally  reflect  net  income  adjusted  for  certain  non-cash  items 
including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred tax assets, share based compensation, and changes in 
working  capital.   Cash  provided  by  operations  was  $1.9  million  in  fiscal  2016  compared  to  $2.0  million  in  fiscal 
year 2015.   

Cash  flows  from  investing  activities  reflect  proceeds  from  sale  of  assets  and  capital  expenditures  for  the 
purchase  of  Company  assets.    The  Company  used  cash  of  $7.7  million  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  26,  2016, 
primarily for new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants.  This compares to cash used by investing activities of $6.7 
million  during  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  28,  2015  primarily  attributable  to  Company-owned  Pie  Five  restaurants 
that opened during the period. 

Cash  flows  from  financing  activities  generally  reflect  changes  in  the  Company's  net  borrowings,  stock 
options exercised and proceeds from the sale of stock  during the period. During fiscal 2016, the Company had no 
change in  bank debt.   During fiscal 2015, the  Company  had a net  decrease of $0.8  million in bank debt.    During 
fiscal 2016, the Company had proceeds from the sale of stock of $0.8 million compared to $8.3 million in the prior 
fiscal  year.    During  fiscal  2016,  the  Company  had  proceeds  from  the  exercise  of  stock  options  of  $0.1  million 
compared to $0.4 million in the prior fiscal year. 

ATM Offerings 

On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. 
LLC (“MLV”) pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate 
offering price of up to $3,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2013 ATM Offering”). The 
2013 ATM Offering was undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which 
was declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2013.  On November 20, 2013, the Company and MLV amended the 
At-the-Market  Issuance  Sales  Agreement  and  the  SEC  declared  effective  a  new  shelf  Registration  Statement  on 
Form  S-3  to  increase  the  2013  ATM  Offering  by  $5,000,000.    The  Company  ultimately  sold  an  aggregate  of 
1,257,609 shares in the 2013 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $8.0 million.   

On  October  1,  2014,  the  Company  entered  into  a  new  At  Market  Issuance  Sales  Agreement  with  MLV 
pursuant  to  which  the  Company  could  initially  offer  and  sell  shares  of  its  common  stock  having  an  aggregate 
offering price of up to $5,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2014 ATM Offering”).  On 
February 13, 2015, the aggregate offering amount of the 2014 ATM Offering  was increased to $10,000,000.  The 
2014  ATM  Offering  is  being  undertaken  pursuant  to  Rule  415  and  a  shelf  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3 
which  was  declared  effective  by  the  SEC  on  August  8,  2014.  Through  June  26,  2016,  the  Company  had  sold  an 
aggregate of 825,763 shares in the 2014 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $8.1 million.   

Credit Facilities  

On  August  28,  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  (the  “F&M  Loan 
Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility 
(with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million 
advancing term loan facility.  An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing.  At closing, 
F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at 
a  fixed  rate  of  4.574%  per  annum.    Amounts  repaid  under  this  fully  funded  term  loan  could  not  be  reborrowed.  
Initial  proceeds  from  the  F&M  Loan  Agreement  were  used  to  repay  amounts  borrowed  under  a  previous  credit 
facility that subsequently was canceled.  

  21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that revised 
certain financial covenants to address proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market offerings of common stock.  On 
September 10, 2013 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that specified the 
application of prepayments to the loan amortization schedule and revised certain definitions. 

The  Company  could  borrow,  repay  and  reborrow  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  through  August  28, 
2014, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility would mature. The Company did not 
draw borrowings on the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2016 and allowed it to expire.  An unused commitment 
fee of 0.50% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.  

Through  August  28,  2014,  F&M  had  agreed  to  make  up  to  $6.0  million  in  additional  term  loans  to  the 
Company.        However,  no  amounts  were  outstanding  on  the  advancing  term  loan  facility  at  the  expiration  of  the 
advance period.  As of September 26, 2014, the balance on the initial term loan facility was also paid in full.  As a 
result, the F&M Loan Agreement expired by its terms. 

Liquidity 

We expect to fund continuing operations and planned capital expenditures for the next fiscal year primarily 
from cash on hand and operating cash flow, with additional potential funding from the 2014 ATM Offering and debt 
borrowings.  Based on budgeted and year-to-date cash flow information, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity 
to satisfy our cash requirements for the 2017 fiscal year.  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to 
make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  our  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  revenues,  expenses  and 
related disclosure of contingent liabilities.  The Company  bases its estimates on  historical experience and  various 
other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed 
periodically.  Actual results could differ materially from estimates. 

The  Company  believes  the  following  critical  accounting  policies  require  estimates  about  the  effect  of 
matters that are inherently uncertain, are susceptible to change, and therefore require subjective judgments.  Changes 
in  the  estimates  and  judgments  could  significantly  impact  the  Company’s  results  of  operations  and  financial 
condition in future periods. 

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables  generated from food and supply  sales to franchisees 
and franchise royalties.  The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts which 
may  be  unrecoverable  based  upon  an  analysis  of  the  Company’s  prior  collection  experience,  customer 
creditworthiness and current economic trends.  Actual realization of accounts receivable could differ materially from 
the Company’s estimates. 

Prior  to  January  5,  2015,  inventory  consisted  primarily  of  food,  paper  products  and  supplies  primarily 
warehoused by the Company’s third-party distributors for distribution system-wide and was stated at lower of cost 
or market, with cost determined according to the  weighted average cost method.  The valuation of such inventory 
required us to estimate  the amount of obsolete  and excess inventory based on estimates of  future demand  for our 
products  within  specific  time  horizons,  generally  nine  months  or  less.    The  possibility  of  overestimating  demand 
subjected  us  to  risk  of  inventory  write-down  which  could  have  had  a  negative  impact  on  the  Company’s  gross 
margin. 

Effective  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2015,  we  changed  our  distribution  arrangements  to  shift  the 
responsibility for maintaining system-wide distribution inventory from Norco to third party distributors.  As a result, 
as of June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, inventory consisted primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in 
and used by Company restaurants and was 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. 

  22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  Company  recognizes  food  and  supply  revenue  when  products  are  delivered  and  the  customer  takes 
ownership  and  assumes  risk  of  loss,  collection  of  the  relevant  receivable  is  probable,  persuasive  evidence  of  an 
arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Franchise revenue consists of income from license 
fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license sales.  License fees are recognized as income when 
there has been substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company, generally at the 
time the restaurant is opened.  Royalties are recognized as income when earned. 

The  Company  reviews  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  when  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying  value  of  such  assets  may  not  be  fully  recoverable.  Impairment  is  evaluated  based  on  the  sum  of 
undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of  an asset compared to its carrying value. If 
impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value based on discounted 
estimated future cash flows.  During fiscal year 2016, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and 
recognized pre-tax,  non-cash  impairment charges of $1.7  million  related to the carrying  value of  several Pie  Five 
units.  During fiscal year 2015, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-
cash impairment charges of $0.3 million related to the carrying value of a Pizza Inn unit.  

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 the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $3.5 million valuation allowance against its net 
deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was increased by $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 to 
$4.0  million  and  again  in  the  fourth  quarter  by  $0.9  million  to  $4.9  million.    The  Company  assessed  whether  a 
valuation  allowance  should  be  established  against  its  deferred  tax  assets  based  on  consideration  of  all  available 
evidence,  using  a  “more  likely  than  not”  standard.  In  assessing  the  need  for  a  valuation  allowance,  the  Company 
considered  both  positive  and  negative  evidence  related  to  the  likelihood  of  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets.  In 
making  such  assessment,  more  weight  was  given  to  evidence  that  could  be  objectively  verified,  including  recent 
cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded 
valuation allowance.  Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation 
allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate. 

The  Company  accounts  for  uncertain  tax  positions  in  accordance  with  ASC  740-10,  which  prescribes  a 
comprehensive  model  for  how  a  company  should  recognize,  measure,  present,  and  disclose  in  its  financial 
statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return.   ASC 740-10 requires that a 
company  recognize  in  its  financial  statements  the  impact  of  tax  positions  that  meet  a  “more  likely  than  not” 
threshold, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from 
such a position  should be  measured based on the  largest benefit that has a greater than  fifty percent likelihood of 
being realized upon ultimate settlement.  As of June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, 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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

The  Company’s  management,  with  the  participation  of  the  Company’s  principal  executive  officer  and 
principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the 
end  of  the  period  covered  by  this  report.  Based  on  that  evaluation,  the  principal  executive  officer  and  principal 
financial  officer  concluded  that  the  Company’s  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  as  of  the  end  of  the  period 
covered by this report, were effective in assuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in 
reports  filed  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  is  (i)  accumulated  and  communicated  to  management, 
including  the  principal  executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer,  as  appropriate  to  allow  timely  decisions 
regarding disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the 
SEC’s rules and forms. 

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  “internal  control 
over  financial  reporting”  (as  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(f)  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934).    Under  the 
supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  management,  including  our  principal  executive  officer  and  principal 
financial officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial 
reporting.  The  Company’s  management  based  it’s  evaluation  on  criteria  set  forth  in  the  framework  in  Internal 
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  
Based  upon  that  evaluation,  management  has  concluded  that  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was 
effective as of June 26, 2016.  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, 
its internal control over financial reporting.

I, Clinton J. Coleman, certify that: 

1. 

I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. (“the Registrant”);  

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 
a  material  fact  necessary  to  make  the  statements  made,  in  light  of  the  circumstances  under  which  such 
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;  

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, 
fairly  present  in  all  material  respects  the  financial  condition,  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  of  the 
Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;  

4.  The Registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure 
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control

a.  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or  caused  such  disclosure  controls  and 
procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the 
Registrant,  including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is  made  known  to  us  by  others  within  those 
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;  

b.  Designed  such  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  or  caused  such  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting  to  be  designed  under  our  supervision,  to  provide  reasonable  assurance

d.  Disclosed in this report any change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that 
occurred during the Registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in 
the  case  of  an  annual  report)  that  has  materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially 
affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and  

5.  The  Registrant’s  other  certifying  officer  and  I  have  disclosed,  based  on  our  most  recent  evaluation  of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  to  the  Registrant’s  auditors  and  the  audit  committee  of  the 
Registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):  

a.  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control 
over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Registrant’s ability to 
record, process, summarize and report financial information; and  

b.  Any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material,  that  involves  management  or  other  employees  who  have  a 

significant role in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

b.  Any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material,  that  involves  management  or  other  employees  who  have  a 

significant role in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. 
The Colony, Texas 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. as of June 26, 2016 
and June 28, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the 
fiscal  years  then  ended.    These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.    Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have an audit of 
its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.    Our  audits  included  consideration  of  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose 
of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting. 
Accordingly,  we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that 
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial  position  of  Rave  Restaurant  Group,  Inc.  as  of  June  26,  2016  and  June  28,  2015,  and  the  results  of  its 
operations  and  cash  flows  for  the  fiscal  years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States of America.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS(In thousands)See accompanying Report of Independent Registered PublicSUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION RAVE RESTAURANT GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Description of Business: Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, or in the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) operate and franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out and express restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operate and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. We provide or facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors. As of June 26, 2016, we owned and operated 32 restaurants comprised of 31 Pie Five restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and one Pizza Inn buffet restaurant (“Buffet Unit”). As of that date, we also had 57 franchised Pie Five Units and 221 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. The 161 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 95 Buffet Units, 15 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 51 express restaurants (“Express Units”). The 60 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 12 Buffet Units, 40 Delco Units and eight Express Units. Domestic restaurants were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas and Kansas accounting for approximately 33%, 12%, 10% and 6%, respectively, of the total number of domestic restaurants. 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. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. At June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 and at various times during the fiscal years then ended, cash and cash equivalents were in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Corporation insured limits. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Inventories: Inventory consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in and used by Company restaurants and was 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. F 7 Closed Restaurants and Discontinued Operations: In April, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which modifies the definition of discontinued operations to include only disposals of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have or will have a major effect on an entity’s operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. The standard was effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements The authoritative guidance on “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that discontinued operations that meet certain criteria be reflected in the statement of operations after results of continuing operations as a net amount. This guidance also requires that the operations of closed restaurants, including any impairment charges, be reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. The authoritative guidance on “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This authoritative guidance also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. Discontinued operations include losses from two Pizza Inn locations in Texas. One is a leased building associated with a Company-owned restaurant closed during fiscal 2008. The other is results of operations for a Company-owned restaurant that was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 due to declining sales. Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization 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 to ten years. Impairment of Long-Lived Asset and other Lease Charges: The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of an asset compared to its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year 2016 and 2015, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the carrying value of several Pie Five and Pizza Inn units. Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from food and supply sales and franchise royalties. The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts that may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of the Company's prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Finance charges may be accrued at a rate of 18% per year, or up to the maximum amount allowed by law, on past due receivables. The interest income recorded from finance charges is immaterial. F 8 Notes Receivable: Notes receivable primarily consist of accounts receivable from franchisees converted into notes. The majority of amounts and terms are contained under formal promissory and personal guarantee agreements. All notes allow for early payment without penalty. Fixed principle and interest payments are due weekly or monthly. Interest income is recognized monthly. Notes receivable mature at various dates through 2024 and bear interest at rates that range from 5% to 7% (6% average rate at June 26, 2016). Management evaluates the creditworthiness of franchisees by considering credit history and sales to evaluate credit risk. Management determines interest rates based on credit risk of the underlining franchisee. The Company monitors payment history to determine whether or not a loan should be placed on a nonaccrual status or impaired. The Company charges off notes receivable based on an account-by-account analysis of the borrower’s current economic conditions, monthly payments history and historical loss experience. The allowance for doubtful notes receivable is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts. Notes receivable as of June 26, 2016 consisted of $0.2 million in current assets and $0.4 million in long-term assets. The principal balance outstanding on the notes receivable and expected principal collections for the next five years and thereafter were as follows as of June 26, 2016 (in thousands): One note totaling $15 thousand was charged off for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016. Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement and carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $3.5 million valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was increased by $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 to $4.0 million and again in the fourth quarter by $0.9 million to $4.9 million. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate. The Company follows authoritative guidance that prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken F 9 NotesReceivable20171672018862019812020872021 and thereafter128549$ or expects to take on a tax return. This authoritative guidance requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. Federal returns for tax years 2012 through 2015 remained open for examination as of June 26, 2016. Pre-Opening Expense: The Company's pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and generally include payroll and other direct costs associated with training new managers and employees prior to opening a new restaurant, rent and other unit operating expenses incurred prior to opening, and promotional costs associated with the opening. Related Party Transactions: On February 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NCM Services, Inc. (“NCMS”) pursuant to which NCMS provides certain advisory and consulting services to the Company. NCMS is indirectly owned and controlled by Mark E. Schwarz, the Chairman of the Company. The term of the Agreement commenced December 30, 2013, and continues quarterly thereafter until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the Agreement, NCMS was paid an initial fee of $150,000 and earns quarterly fees of $50,000 and an additional fee of up to $50,000 per quarter (not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000 in additional fees). The quarterly and additional fees are waived if the Company is not in compliance with all financial covenants under its primary credit facility or to the extent that payment of those fees would result in non-compliance with such financial covenants. As of June 26, 2016, the accrued liability relating to services performed by NCMS was $100,003. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes food and supply revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company's Norco division sells food and supplies to franchisees on trade accounts under terms common in the industry. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the associated costs are included in cost of sales. Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license sales. License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company, generally at the time the restaurant is opened. Royalties are recognized as income when earned. For the fiscal years ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, 82.8% and 82.2%, respectively, of franchise revenue was comprised of recurring royalties. We recognize restaurant sales when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities. Stock Options: We account 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. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are described more fully in Note H. Stock options under these plans are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant. Generally those options vest ratably over various vesting periods. Restricted Stock Units: F 10 Compensation cost is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company had no bank debt at June 26, 2016. Advertising and Marketing Costs: Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1.2 million for fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 and $0.7 million for fiscal year ended June 28, 2015. Advertising and marketing costs are included in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. 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 Accounting for Contingencies. If the best estimate of cost can only be identified within a range and no specific amount within that range can be determined more likely than any other amount within the range, and the loss is considered probable, the minimum of the range is accrued. Legal and related professional services costs to defend litigation are expensed as incurred. Use of Management Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in June. The fiscal year ended June 26, 2016 and the fiscal year ended June 28, 2015 both contained 52 weeks. NOTE B – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, and plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands): Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $2.7 million and $1.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively.

Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands): NOTE D - LONG-TERM DEBT: On August 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million advancing term loan facility. An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing. At closing, F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at a fixed rate of 4.574% per annum. Amounts repaid under this fully funded term loan could not be reborrowed. Initial proceeds from the F&M Loan Agreement were used to repay amounts borrowed under a previous credit facility that subsequently was canceled. On June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that revised certain financial covenants to address proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market offerings of common stock. On September 10, 2013 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that specified the application of prepayments to the loan amortization schedule and revised certain definitions. The Company could borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility through August 28, 2014, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility would mature. The Company did not draw borrowings on the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2015 and allowed it to expire. An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Through August 28, 2014, F&M had agreed to make up to $6.0 million in additional term loans to the Company. However, no amounts were outstanding on the advancing term loan facility at the expiration of the advance period. As of September 26, 2014, the balance on the initial term loan facility was also paid in full. As a result, the F&M Loan Agreement expired by its terms. Management believes the cash on hand combined with cash from operations and proceeds from the 2014 ATM Offering will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

The effective income tax rate varied from the statutory rate for the fiscal years ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015 as reflected below (in thousands): The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the net deferred tax assets consisted of the following (in thousands): At the end of tax year ended June 26, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards totaling $7.5 million that are available to reduce future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2032. 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 the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $3.5 million valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was increased by $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 to $4.0 million and again in the fourth quarter by $0.9 million to $4.9 million.

valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate. NOTE F - LEASES: Premises occupied by Company-owned restaurants are leased for initial terms of five to ten years, and each has multiple renewal terms. Certain lease agreements contain either a provision requiring additional rent if sales exceed specified amounts or an escalation clause based upon a predetermined multiple. In fiscal 2007, the Company sold its corporate office building and distribution facility located at 3551 Plano Parkway, The Colony, Texas, and entered into a ten-year lease agreement for the corporate office building. This lease expires December 19, 2016. The Company is in discussion with the landlord to extend its lease, and is also evaluating alternative options. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable leases, net of subleases, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more at June 26, 2016 were as follows (in thousands): Rental expense consisted of the following (in thousands): NOTE G - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: The Company has a tax advantaged savings plan that is designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The current plan is a modified continuation of a similar savings plan established by the Company in 1985. Employees who have completed six months of service and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides that participating employees may elect to have between 1% and 15% of their compensation deferred and contributed to the plan subject to certain IRS limitations. Effective June 27, 2005, the Company contributes on behalf of each participating employee an amount equal to 50% of the employee’s contributions up to 4% of compensation. Separate accounts are maintained with respect to contributions made on behalf of each participating employee. Employer matching contributions and earnings thereon are invested in the same investments as each participant’s employee deferral. The plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, and is a profit sharing plan as defined in Section 401(k) of the Code. For the fiscal years ended June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, total matching contributions to the tax advantaged savings plan by the Company on behalf of participating employees were approximately $53,000 and $39,000, respectively.

Under the 2005 Employee Plan, officers and employees of the Company were eligible to receive options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Options were granted at market value of the stock on the date of grant, were subject to various vesting and exercise periods as determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, and could be designated as non-qualified or incentive stock options. A total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2005 Employee Plan. During the 2015 fiscal year, options to purchase 92,000 shares were granted under the 2005 Employee Plan. Also during the 2015 fiscal year, 3,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of options granted under the 2005 Employee Plan. The 2005 Employee Plan expired by its terms on June 23, 2015. During fiscal 2016, contingencies were satisfied with respect to options to purchase 18,500 shares of common stock previously conditionally granted under the 2005 Employee Plan. The shareholders also approved the 2005 Non-Employee Directors Stock Award Plan (the “2005 Directors Plan”) in June 2005, to be effective as of June 23, 2005. Directors not employed by the Company were eligible to receive stock options under the 2005 Directors Plan. Options for common stock equal to twice the number of shares of common stock acquired during the previous fiscal year, up to 40,000 shares per year, were automatically granted to each non-employee director on the first day of each fiscal year. Options were granted at market value of the stock on the first day of each fiscal year, with vesting periods beginning at a minimum of six months and with exercise periods up to ten years. A total of 650,000 shares of Company common stock were authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Directors Plan. During the 2015 fiscal year, 28,800 options were granted under the 2005 Directors Plan. Also during the 2015 fiscal year, 167,200 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of options granted under the 2005 Directors Plan. The 2005 Directors Plan expired by its terms on June 23, 2015. The 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 LTIP”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders on November 18, 2014, and became effective June 1, 2015. Officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the 2015 LTIP. A total of 1,200,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2015 LTIP. Awards authorized under the 2015 LTIP include incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and rights (either with or without accompanying options). The 2015 LTIP provides for options to be granted at market value of the stock on the date of grant and have exercise periods determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The Compensation Committee may also determine the vesting periods, performance criteria and other terms and conditions of all awards under the 2015 LTIP. The Compensation Committee has adopted resolutions under the 2015 LTIP automatically granting to each non-employee director on the first day of each fiscal year options to purchase twice the number of shares of common stock acquired during the previous fiscal year, up to a maximum of 40,000 shares. Such options are exercisable at the market value of the stock on the first day of the fiscal year, vest six months from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. During fiscal 2016, options to purchase 24,286 shares of common stock and 100,190 restricted stock units (representing the right to receive up to 150,285 shares of common stock) were granted under the 2015 LTIP and represent the only awards outstanding thereunder. Share based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the statement of operations. Stock Options: A summary of stock option transactions under all of the Company’s stock option plans and information about fixed-price stock options is as follows: F 15 At June 26, 2016, the total intrinsic value of options outstanding was $8.2 million and of options exercisable was $5.8 million.

We estimate the fair value of share-based awards granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. Expected Life. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. Unless a life is specifically stated, we determine the expected life using the “simplified method” in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 since we do not have sufficient historical share option exercise experience. Expected Volatility. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock. Risk-Free Interest Rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. Expected Dividend Yield. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock in the last ten years and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected Forfeitures. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. We record stock- based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest. The following weighted average assumptions were used for options granted in the last two fiscal years: At June 26, 2016, the Company had unvested options to purchase 288,936 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.47. The total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options amounted to approximately $0.2 million at June 26, 2016. The weighted average remaining requisite service period of the unvested awards was 9.3 months. Stock compensation expense related to stock options of $0.2 million and $0.1 million was recognized in fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. Restricted Stock Units: Restricted stock units awarded under the 2015 LTIP represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, an aggregate of 100,190 restricted stock units were granted to certain employees. The restricted stock units granted to each recipient are allocated among performance criteria pertaining to various aspects of the Company’s business, as well as its overall operations, measured based on its fiscal year ending June 24, 2018. Achievement of the various performance criteria entitles the recipient to receive shares of common stock in amounts ranging from 50% to 150% of the number of restricted stock units granted. Grantees of restricted stock units do not have any rights of a stockholder, and do not participate in any distributions on our common stock, until the award fully vests upon satisfaction of the vesting schedule, performance criteria and other conditions set forth in their award agreement. Therefore, unvested restricted stock units are not considered participating securities under ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” and are not included in the calculation of basic or diluted earnings per share. Compensation cost is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level.

The Company incurred compensation expense of $33 thousand and recorded no income tax benefit due to a full valuation allowance. A summary of the status of restricted stock units as of June 26, 2016, and changes during the fiscal year then ended is presented below: As of June 26, 2016, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units granted under the 2015 LTIP, of which $79 thousand is expected to be recognized in each of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, and $23 thousand is expected to be recognized in fiscal 2019. NOTE I - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY: On April 22, 2009, the board of directors of the Company amended the stock repurchase plan first authorized on May 23, 2007, and previously amended on June 2, 2008, by increasing the aggregate number of shares of common stock the Company may repurchase under the plan to a total of 3,016,000 shares. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2016 and, as of June 26, 2016, there were 848,425 shares available to repurchase under the plan. On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”) pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2013 ATM Offering”). The 2013 ATM Offering was undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2013. On November 20, 2013, the Company and MLV amended the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement and the SEC declared effective a new shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 to increase the 2013 ATM Offering by $5,000,000. The Company ultimately sold an aggregate of 1,257,609 shares in the 2013 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $8.0 million. On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV pursuant to which the Company could initially offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2014 ATM Offering”). On February 13, 2015, the aggregate offering amount of the 2014 ATM Offering was increased to $10,000,000. The 2014 ATM Offering is being undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2014. Through June 26, 2016, the Company had sold an aggregate of 825,763 shares in the 2014 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $8.1 million. The Company pays to MLV a fee equal to 3% of the gross sales price in addition to reimbursing certain costs. Expenses associated with the 2013 ATM Offering and 2014 ATM Offering were $21,000 and $42,000 in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively, which includes fees and expense reimbursement to MLV and legal and other offering expenses incurred by the Company. NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to employment agreements, franchise disputes, lawsuits, taxes, food product purchase contracts and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that any such claims and actions currently pending are either covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to us.

Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS calculation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts). NOTE L– SEGMENT REPORTING: The Company has two reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information: (1) Franchising and Food and Supply Distribution, and (2) Company-owned Restaurants.
