RAVE RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Rave Restaurant Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “we,” “us” or “our”), franchises pizza buffet (“Buffet Units”), delivery/carry-out (“Delco Units”), express restaurants (“Express Units”) and ghost kitchens (“Pizza Inn Ghost Kitchen Units”) under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and franchises fast casual pizza restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and ghost kitchens (“Pie Five Ghost Kitchen Units”) under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. The Company also licenses Pizza Inn Express, or PIE, kiosks (“PIE Units”) under the trademark “Pizza Inn”. We facilitate food, equipment, and supply distribution to our domestic and international system of restaurants through agreements with third-party distributors. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

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

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments

The Company holds short-term investments in treasury bills, classified as trading securities. Accordingly, interest income is recorded through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, when earned. Management has elected to classify all treasury bills as short-term, regardless of their maturity dates, as these are readily available to fund current operations and can be liquidated at any time at the discretion of the Company. As of September 29, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company held treasury bills valued at $7.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, which are included within short-term investments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, interest income recognized on the treasury bills was $76 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are categorized based on the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three levels:

Level 1:

Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2:

Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3:

Inputs are unobservable and therefore reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury bills at September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, was determined using level 1 observable inputs. Management believes the carrying amounts of other financial instruments at September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Index

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value at September 29, 2024:

Fair Value Measurements	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
U.S. Treasury bills	$	7,050,421	$	—	$	—	$	7,050,421
	$	7,050,421	$	—	$	—	$	7,050,421

The Company did not have any financial assts or liabilities at September 24, 2023 that were measured at fair value. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

These items are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from franchise royalties and supplier concessions. The Company records an allowance for credit losses to allow for any amounts that may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Finance charges may be accrued at a rate of 18% per year, or up to the maximum amount allowed by law, on past due receivables. The interest income recorded from finance charges is immaterial.

The Company monitors franchisee receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high-risk accounts receivable. For the three month period ended September 29, 2024, recoveries for credit losses was $17 thousand compared to provision for credit losses of $25 thousand for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the three month period ended September 29, 2024, the Company recorded a gain in provision for credit losses due to the recoveries of receivables that had been previously reserved.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses from continuing operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

	September 29, 2024			September 24, 2023
Beginning balance	$	57		$	58
Provision (recovery) for credit losses		(17	)		25
Amounts written off		—			(72	)
Ending balance	$	40		$	11

Fiscal Quarters

The three month periods ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023 each contained 13 weeks.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “standard”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), which requires companies to enhance disclosure of significant reportable segment expenses. The new guidance is effective for the Company after December 15, 2024. Management believes that adopting this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting this standard.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to provide a more granular breakdown of the components that make up their effective tax rate and additional disclosures about the nature and effect of significant reconciling items. The new guidance is effective for the Company after December 15, 2024. Management believes that adopting this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting this standard.

Revenue Recognition

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

Index

The following describes principal activities, separated by major product or service, from which the Company generates its revenues:

Franchise Revenues

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

Franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of net retail sales, are recognized as sales occur.

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

Franchise license fees are typically billed upon execution of the franchise agreement and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement, which typically range from five to 20 years. Fees received for renewal periods are amortized over the life of the renewal period. In the event of a closed franchise or terminated development agreement, the remaining balance of unamortized license fees will be recognized in entirety as of the date of the closure or termination.

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

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

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

Rental Income

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

Total revenues consist of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2024		September 24, 2023
Franchise royalties	$	1,121	$	1,225
Supplier and distributor incentive revenues		1,192		1,100
Franchise license fees		28		101
Area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees		3		4
Advertising fund contributions		464		422
Supplier convention funds		217		187
Rental income		23		46
Other		2		2
	$	3,050	$	3,087

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on stock-based payments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock-based compensation for options granted to employees and directors and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model in the future. The authoritative guidance also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow.

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. Compensation cost for RSUs is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level.

Index

Note B - Leases

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

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

Nature of Leases

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

Office Agreements

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

Restaurant Space Agreements

Information Technology Equipment

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

Discount Rate

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

Lease Guarantees

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

Index

Practical Expedients and Accounting Policy Elections

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

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

The components of total lease expense for the three months ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, where operating lease cost is included in general and administrative expense and sublease income is included in revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2024			September 24, 2023
Operating lease cost	$	104		$	123
Sublease income		(23	)		(47	)
Total lease expense, net of sublease income	$	81		$	76

Weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases are as follows:

	September 29, 2024			September 24, 2023
Weighted average remaining lease term	1.6 Years			1.8 Years
Weighted average discount rate		4.0	%		4.0	%

Operating lease liabilities with enforceable contract terms that are greater than one year mature as follows (in thousands):

	Operating Leases
2025	$	314
2026		382
2027		191
Total operating lease payments	$	887
Less: imputed interest		(39	)
Total operating lease liability	$	848

Note C - 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 results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

Note D - Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options:

For the three months ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of zero. As of September 29, 2024, there was no unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options.

The following table summarizes the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding stock options:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for the results reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

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

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

●

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

●

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

Index

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

“Franchisee default and closed store revenue/expense” represents the net of accelerated revenues and costs attributable to defaulted area development agreements and closed franchised stores.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2024 increased $0.1 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown (in thousands):

Index

Revenues:

Revenues are derived from franchise royalties, supplier and distributor incentives, franchise license fees, area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees, advertising funds, supplier convention funds, sublease rental income, and other income. The volume of supplier incentive revenues is dependent on the level of chain-wide retail sales, which are impacted by changes in comparable store sales and restaurant count, as well as the products sold to franchisees through third-party food distributors.

Total revenues for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $3.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Pizza Inn Franchise and License

Pizza Inn franchise revenues increased by $0.1 million to $2.7 million for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The 4.5% increase was driven by increases in supplier and distributor incentives.

Pie Five Franchise and License

Pie Five franchise revenues decreased by $0.1 million to $0.3 million for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The 29.7% decrease was driven by decreases in domestic royalties.

Costs and Expenses:

General and Administrative Expenses

Total general and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million to $1.4 million for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 7.4% increase was driven by increases in legal fees, primarily due to decreases in legal settlement recoveries.

Franchise Expenses

Franchise expenses include general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of domestic and international franchises. Total franchise expenses decreased by $0.2 million to $1.0 million for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 15.1% decrease was driven by decreases in advertising fees.

Provision (Recovery) for Credit Losses

Interest Expense and Income

Interest expense was zero for the three months ended September 29, 2024 compared to zero for the same fiscal period of the prior year. Interest income increased by $80 thousand to $82 thousand for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by interest received on U.S. Treasury bills.

Amortization and Depreciation Expense

Amortization and depreciation expense decreased by $12 thousand to $43 thousand for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily the result of lower depreciation of equipment.

Index

Provision for Income Taxes

Total income tax expense consists of the following (in thousands):

	Three months ended
	September 29, 2024		September 24, 2023
Federal tax expense	$	143	$	108
State tax expense		26		24
Total income tax expense	$	169	$	132

For the three months ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $169 thousand and $132 thousand, respectively. The increase was driven by increases in federal taxes, primarily due to higher taxable income.

The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Basic net income per share increased $0.01 per share to $0.04 per share for the three months ended September 29, 2024, compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The Company had net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024 compared to net income of $0.4 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024 compared to $3.1 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The stability in revenue was primarily due to increases in supplier and distributor incentives, offset by a decrease in domestic royalties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three month period ended September 29, 2024, the Company's primary source of liquidity was proceeds from operating activities.

Cash flows from operating activities generally reflect net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 million for the three month period ended September 29, 2024 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.6 million for the three month period ended September 24, 2023. The primary driver of decreased operating cash flow during the three month period ended September 29, 2024 was decreased accrued expenses related to payroll and related costs.

Cash flows from investing activities reflect purchases and maturities of short-term investments as well as net proceeds from the sale of assets and capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets. Cash used in investing activities during the three month period ended September 29, 2024 was $2.0 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $12 thousand for the three months ended September 24, 2023. Net cash used by investing activities during the three month period ended September 29, 2024 was primarily attributable to increased purchases of U.S. treasury bills.

Cash flows used in financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's stock and debt activity during the period. Net cash used in financing activities was zero for the three month periods ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023.

Management believes the cash on hand combined with net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months and beyond.

Employee Retention Credit

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “CAA”) was signed into law. The CAA expanded eligibility for an employee retention credit for companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with fewer than five hundred employees and at least a twenty percent decline in gross receipts compared to the same quarter in 2019, to encourage retention of employees. This payroll tax credit was a refundable tax credit against certain federal employment taxes. For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2022, the Company recorded $0.7 million of other income for the employee retention credit. As of September 29, 2024, $0.6 million has been received and $0.1 million is still outstanding and included within accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.

Index

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.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use and eventual disposition of the assets compared to their carrying value. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of an impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, area development and foreign master license agreements, advertising fund revenues, supplier incentive and convention contribution revenues. Franchise fees, area development and foreign master license agreement fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related contract agreement. In the event of a closed franchise or defaulted development agreement, the remaining balance of unamortized license fees will be recognized in entirety as of the date of the closure or default. Royalties and advertising fund revenues, which are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales, are recognized as income as retail sales occur. Supplier incentive revenues are recognized as earned, typically as the underlying commodities are shipped.

The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, including recent operating performance.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 29, 2024 and June 30, 2024, 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
