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 its 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 28, 2020.

Report of Independent Regist ered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Rave Restaurant Group, Inc.
The Colony, Texas
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of June 28, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 28, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended , in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on
our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are
required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note K to the financial statements, on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended
containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The ultimate financial impact and duration of these events cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our opinion was not modified with respect to this matter.
Prior Period Financial Statements
The financial statements of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2019, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 30, 2019, expressed an unmodified opinion on those
statements.

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”) 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”. The Company also licenses pizza kiosks under the “Pizza Inn” trademark. We facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through
agreements with third party distributors.
As of June 28, 2020, we had 42 franchised Pie Five Units, 176 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants, and 13 licensed Pizza Inn Express, or
PIE, kiosks (“PIE Units”). The 138 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 83 pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”), 10 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”), and 45 express restaurants (“Express Units”). As of
June 28, 2020, there were 38 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. Domestic Pizza Inn restaurants and kiosks were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina and Mississippi
accounting for approximately 23%, 19%, 17% and 9%, respectively, of the total number of domestic units.
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash of $0.2 million at June
28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is omitted from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other long term assets. The restricted cash is held in an interest-bearing money market account and is restricted pursuant to a letter of credit for an
insurance claim dating back to the mid-1980’s.
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 28, 2020 and June 30,
2019, 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.
Notes receivable, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of promissory notes from franchise agreements and structured
Company-financed sales of assets. At June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and at various times during the fiscal years then ended, the Company had concentrations of credit risk with four franchisees on notes receivables with both short and long term
maturities. As of June 28, 2020, the Company had one short term note receivable with one franchisee and the Company had five notes receivable with three franchisees totaling $1.1 million. The financed asset sales were executed with a weighted
average interest rate of 4.6%. Principal and interest payments are due monthly and a balloon payment is due after 24 months.
Inventories:
Inventory consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in and used by Company restaurants and is stated at lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or market.
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.
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.
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.
F-8
Index
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 and eventual disposition of the assets compared to their carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of an impaired asset is
reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. During fiscal year 2020, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.2 million primarily related to
assets held for sale. The Company also had lease charges related to closed units of $0.7 million.
Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from 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.
Notes Receivable:
Notes receivable primarily consist of promissory notes arising from franchisee agreements and structured Company-financed sales of assets. The majority of amounts and terms
are evidenced by formal promissory notes and personal guarantees. All notes allow for early payment without penalty. Fixed principle and interest payments are due monthly. Interest income is recognized monthly. Notes receivable mature at various
dates through 2022 and bear interest at a weighted average rate of 4.6% at June 28, 2020.
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 netted within notes receivable.
The expected principal collections on notes receivable for the next three years were as follows as of June 28, 2020 (in thousands):

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 assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Future sources of taxable income are also
considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. During the quarter ending March 29, 2020, it was determined that the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets should be increased by $4.3 million resulting in a full
valuation allowance. The Company has maintained the full valuation allowance for the year ended June 28, 2020.
F-9
Index
For the year ended, June 28, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.1 million including federal deferred tax expense of $4.1 million and current state tax expense of
$20 thousand. As of June 28, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards totaling $23.6 million that are available to reduce future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2032. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, approximately $0.8
million of the loss carryforwards are limited to 80% and do not expire.
Under ASC 740, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
ultimate resolution. From time to time, the Company may be assessed interest and penalties by taxing authorities. In those cases, the charges are recorded as income tax expense, as incurred, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There
were no such charges or accruals for the years ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Adoption of ASC 842, “Leases”
In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) which requires an entity to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability for all leases. Classification
of leases as either a finance or operating lease determines the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses.
The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and was adopted using a modified retrospective approach with the date of initial application on July 1, 2019.
Consequently, upon transition, the Company recognized an operating lease right of use asset and an operating lease liability. The Company applied the following practical expedients as provided in the standards update which provide elections to:
•
not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (a lease that at commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option);
•
not reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs; and
•
not reassess certain land easements in existence prior to July 1, 2019.
Through the implementation process, the Company evaluated each of its lease arrangements and enhanced its systems to track and calculate additional information required upon adoption of this
standards update. The adoption had an impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2019 relating to the recognition of operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities which represented approximately a 30%
change to total assets and a 64% change to total liabilities. The impact of adoption of this new standards update was as follows (in thousands):

(1) As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $132 thousand recorded within deferred rent for lease incentives incurred at the inception of the affected leases and $302 thousand in deferred rent tenant improvements. Upon
adoption of the new standards update, these lease incentives were included within the operating lease liability.
Certain balances have been reclassified. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in contracts with customers and excludes incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, primarily sales tax.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific
revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
The following describes principal activities, separated by major product or service, from which the Company generates its revenues:
Restaurant Sales
Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold in Company-owned restaurants. The Company reports revenue net of sales taxes collected from
customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.
F-10
Index
Franchise Revenues
Franchise revenues consist of 1) franchise royalties, 2) supplier and distributor incentive revenues, 3) franchise license fees, 4) area development exclusivity fees and
foreign master license fees, 5) advertising funds, and 6) supplier convention funds.
Franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of franchise restaurant sales, are recognized as sales occur.
Supplier and distributor incentive revenues are recognized when title to the underlying commodities transfer.
Franchise license fees are typically billed upon execution of the franchise agreement and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement which can range from five to 20
years. Fees received for renewal periods are amortized over the life of the renewal period.
Area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees are typically billed upon execution of the area development and foreign master license agreements. Area
development exclusivity fees are included in deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and allocated on a pro rata basis to all stores opened under that specific development agreement. Area development exclusivity fees that include rights
to sub-franchise are amortized as revenue over the term of the contract.
Advertising fund contributions for Pie Five units represent contributions collected where we have control over the activities of the fund. Contributions are based on a
percentage of net retail sales. We have determined that we are the principal in these arrangements, and advertising fund contributions and expenditures are, therefore, reported on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In general,
we expect such advertising fund contributions and expenditures to be largely offsetting and, therefore, do not expect a significant impact on our reported income before income taxes. Our obligation related to these funds is to develop and conduct
advertising activities. Pie Five marketing fund contributions are billed and collected weekly.
Supplier convention funds are deferred until the obligations of the agreement are met and the event takes place.

Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes
formula to estimate the value of stock-based compensation for options granted to employees and directors and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model in the future. The authoritative guidance also requires the benefits of
tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow.
Restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) 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 RSU’s is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the RSU’s 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.
F-11
Index
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 28, 2020 contained 52 weeks and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 contained 53 weeks.

NOTE D - CONVERTIBLE NOTES:
On March 3, 2017, the Company completed a registered shareholder rights offering of its 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (“Notes”). Shareholders exercised subscription
rights to purchase all 30,000 of the Notes at the par value of $100 per Note, resulting in gross offering proceeds to the Company of $3.0 million.
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum on the principal or par value of $100 per note, payable annually in arrears on February 15 of each year, commencing February
15, 2018. Interest is payable in cash or, at the Company’s discretion, in shares of Company common stock. The Notes mature on February 15, 2022, at which time all principal and unpaid interest will be payable in cash or, at the Company’s
discretion, in shares of Company common stock. The Notes are secured by a pledge of all outstanding equity securities of our two primary direct operating subsidiaries.
Noteholders may convert their Notes to common stock as of the 15 th day of any calendar month, unless the Company sooner elects to redeem the Notes. The conversion
price is $2.00 per share of common stock. Accrued interest will be paid through the effective date of the conversion in cash or, at the Company’s sole discretion, in shares of Company common stock.
The Company determined that the Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature of $0.1 million since the market price of the Company’s common stock was higher than the
effective conversion price of the Notes when issued. The beneficial conversion feature and the issuance costs of the notes aggregated $0.2 million and were considered a debt discount and are accreted into interest expense using the effective
interest method over the debt maturity period.
During fiscal 2020, $64 thousand of the Notes were converted to common shares. As of June 28, 2020, $1.6 million of the Notes was outstanding, offset by $48 thousand of
unamortized debt issue costs and unamortized debt discounts.
NOTE E - PPP LOAN:
On April 13, 2020, the Company received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of $656,830 (the “PPP Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Paycheck
Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Loan matures on April 10, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of
0.98% per annum. Commencing November 10, 2020, we are required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as necessary to fully amortize by April 10, 2022 the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan as of October 10,
2020. We may prepay the PPP Loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 10, 2020, which contains various certifications and agreements related to the PPP, as well
customary default and other provisions.
The PPP Loan is unsecured by the Company and is guaranteed by the SBA. All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application by the Company accompanied by documentation of
expenditures in accordance with SBA requirements under the PPP. In the event all or any portion of the PPP Loan is forgiven, the amount forgiven will be applied to outstanding principal.

For the year ended June 28, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4.1 million including federal deferred tax expense of $4.1 million and current state tax expense of
$20 thousand. As of June 28, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards totaling $23.6 million that are available to reduce future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2032. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, approximately $0.8
million of the loss carryforwards are limited to 80% and do not expire.
The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and
tax planning strategies. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Future sources of taxable income are also
considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. During the quarter ending March 29, 2020, it was determined that the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets should be increased by $4.3 million resulting in a full
valuation allowance. The Company has maintained the full valuation allowance for the year ended June 28, 2020.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act. The legislation enacts various measures to assist companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Key income
tax-related provisions of the bill include temporary modifications to net operating loss utilization and carryback limitations, allowance of refundable alternative minimum tax credits, reduced limitation of charitable contributions, reduced
limitations of business interest expense, and technical corrections to depreciation of qualified improvement property.
NOTE G - LEASES:
The Company leases its 19,576 square foot corporate office facility with average annual lease payments of approximately $18.00 per square foot. This lease began on January 2,
2017 and has a ten-year term. The Company amended its lease agreement in June 2020 and has elected to defer one-half of the monthly base rent for the period from June 2020 through May 2021.
F-14
Index
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 but are disclosed below. Short-term lease costs exclude expenses related to leases with a lease term of one month or less.
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 agreements subsequent to the primary term.
Restaurant Space Agreements
The Company rents restaurant space from third parties for its Company-owned restaurants. Restaurant space agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms of one to 10 years. The Company has concluded that
its restaurant 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 agreements subsequent to the primary term.
The Company also subleases some of its restaurant space to third parties. The Company’s two subleases have terms that end in 2023 and 2025. The sublease agreements are noncancelable through the end of the term and both
parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease when the term is complete. Sublease agreements are not capitalized and are recorded as rental income in the period that rent is received.
As of June 28, 2020, the Company had no Company-owned restaurants.
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.
F-15
Index
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 liability will be recognized.
Practical Expedients and Accounting Policy Elections
Certain lease agreements include lease and non-lease components. For all existing asset classes with multiple component types, the Company has utilized the practical expedient that exempts it from separating lease
components from non-lease components. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components in an arrangement as a single lease component.
In addition, for all existing asset classes, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the lease recognition requirements to short-term leases (that is, a lease that, at commencement, has 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 statement of operations
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 statement of operations in the period in which the obligation
for those payments is incurred.

NOTE H - 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 three 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 has a discretionary matching contribution. 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 year ended June 28, 2020, no matching contributions were made to the tax advantage savings plan by the Company. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, total
matching contributions to the tax advantaged savings plan by the Company on behalf of participating employees were approximately $39 thousand.
NOTE I - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS:
In June 2005, the 2005 Employee Incentive Stock Option Award Plan (the “2005 Employee Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders with a plan effective date of June 23,
2005. 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. The 2005 Employee Plan expired by its terms on June 23, 2015.
F-17
Index
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. 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.
Share based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

We determine fair value following the authoritative guidance as follows:
Valuation and Amortization Method. 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.
At June 28, 2020, the Company had no unvested options. Stock compensation expense related to stock options of zero and $35 thousand was recognized in fiscal years 2020 and
2019, 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 fiscal 2020 and 2019, there were no grants of performance-based restricted stock units.
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 the second fiscal year following the date of grant. 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.
F-19
Index
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.
A summary of the status of restricted stock units as of June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and changes during the fiscal years then ended is presented below:

NOTE J - 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 2020 and, as of June 28, 2020, there were 848,425 shares available to be
repurchased under the plan.
On December 5, 2017, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley FBR, Inc. (“B. Riley FBR”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell
shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,000,000 from time to time through B. Riley FBR acting as agent (the “2017 ATM Offering”). The 2017 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 November 6, 2017. Through June 28, 2020, the Company had sold an aggregate of 524,660 shares in the 2017 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $0.7 million.
The Company pays to B. Riley FBR a fee equal to 3% of the gross sales price in addition to reimbursing certain costs. The Company had $15 thousand in expenses associated with
the 2017 ATM Offering in fiscal 2020.
NOTE K - 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 the Company.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and the disease has spread rapidly throughout the United
States and the world. Federal, state and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as our internal efforts to protect customers, franchisees and employees, have severely disrupted our business operations. Most of the domestic Pizza Inn
buffet restaurants and Pie Five restaurants are in areas that were for varying periods subject to “shelter-in-place” and social distancing restrictions prohibiting in-store sales and, therefore, were limited to carry-out and/or delivery orders.
In some areas, these restrictions limited non-essential movement outside the home, which discouraged or even precluded carry-out orders. In most cases, in-store dining has now resumed subject to seating capacity limitations, social distancing
protocols, and enhanced cleaning and disinfecting practices. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated significant job losses and a national economic downturn that typically impacts the demand for restaurant food service. Although most of
our domestic restaurants have continued to operate under these conditions, we have experienced temporary closures from time to time during the pandemic. The closure of one Company-owned Pie Five restaurant in January 2020 was unrelated to the
COVID-19 outbreak but the quick closure of a Pie Five Unit recently acquired from a franchisee was accelerated by the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in dramatically reduced aggregate in-store retail sales at Buffet Units and Pie Five Units, modestly offset by increased aggregate carry-out and delivery
sales. The decreased aggregate retail sales have correspondingly decreased supplier rebates and franchise royalties payable to the Company. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we participated in a government-sponsored loan
program. (See, “Note E--PPP Loan.”) We also furloughed certain employees, reduced base salary by 20% for all remaining employees and reduced expenses. While the Company will remain focused on controlling expenses, future results of
operations are likely to be materially adversely impacted.
F-20
Index
We expect that Buffet Units and Pie Five Units will continue to be subject to capacity restrictions for some time as social distancing protocols remain in place. Additionally, an outbreak or perceived outbreak of COVID-19
connected to restaurant dining could cause negative publicity directed at any of our brands and cause customers to avoid our restaurants. We cannot predict how long the pandemic will last or whether it will reoccur, what additional restrictions may
be enacted, to what extent off-premises dining will continue, or if individuals will be comfortable returning to our Buffet Units and Pie Five Units following social distancing protocols. Any of these changes could materially adversely affect the
Company’s future financial performance. However, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot presently be predicted.
NOTE L - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The Company computes and presents earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with the authoritative guidance on Earnings Per Share .
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 M– SEGMENT REPORTING:
The Company has three 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) Pizza Inn Franchising, (2) Pie Five Franchising and (3) Company-Owned Restaurants. These segments are a result of differences in the
nature of the products and services sold. Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the three operating segments. Other
revenue consists of nonrecurring items.
The Pizza Inn and Pie Five Franchising segments establish franchisees, licensees and territorial rights. Revenue for this segment is derived from franchise royalties, franchise
fees, sale of area development and foreign master license rights and incentive payments from third party suppliers and distributors. Assets for these segments include equipment, furniture and fixtures.
The Company-Owned Restaurants segment includes sales and operating results for all Company-owned restaurants. Assets for this segment include equipment, furniture and fixtures
for the Company-owned restaurants.
F-21
Index
Corporate administration and other assets primarily include cash and short-term investments, as well as furniture and fixtures located at the corporate office and trademarks
and other intangible assets. All assets are located within the United States.
Summarized in the following tables are net sales and operating revenues, depreciation and amortization expense, income from continuing operations before taxes, capital
expenditures and assets for the Company’s reportable segments as of and for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 (in thousands):
