NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn, Inc. (the "Company") 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2009.
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 contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.
(1)
|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
Principles of Consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fiscal Quarters
Fiscal third quarters ended March 28, 2010 and March 29, 2009 both contained 13 weeks and fiscal year to date ended March 28, 2010 and March 29, 2009 both contained 39 weeks.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes 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. Food and supply revenue are recognized upon delivery of the product. Norco sales are reflected under the caption "Food and supply sales." Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue.
Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license fees. License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance under the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company. Domestic license fees are generally recognized at the time the restaurant is opened. Foreign master license fees are generally recognized upon execution of the agreement as all material services relating to the sale have been substantially performed by the Company and the fee has been collected. Royalties are recognized as income when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
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.
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 and actual results could differ materially from estimates.

Long-Term Debt
|
|
On January 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Amegy Bank National Association (“Amegy”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $1.0 million term loan facility.
|
|
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility through January 11, 2013, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility mature. Availability under the revolving credit facility is limited by advance rates on eligible inventory and accounts receivable, and the Company is required to maintain a zero balance on the revolving credit facility for at least 30 consecutive days each year. Interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the revolving credit facility is computed at Amegy’s prime rate and is payable monthly. A quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% is payable on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
|
|
Through January 11, 2011, Amegy has agreed to make up to four term loans under the term facility. Advances for such term loans are limited by a percentage of the costs of equipment and leasehold improvements for new restaurant locations of the Company and may not be reborrowed after repayment. Interest only is payable monthly on each term loan for up to 120 days after the initial advance. Thereafter, each term loan is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest. Interest on each term loan accrues at Amegy’s prime rate plus 1% or, at the Company’s option, a fixed rate determined by Amegy. A fee of 0.5% of the total term loan facility was paid at closing.
|
The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Loan Agreement contains various affirmative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to provide Amegy with certain financial statements, compliance statements, reports and other information. The Loan Agreement also contains various negative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and restrict the ability of the Company to engage in certain activities. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, Amegy may terminate all commitments under the credit facilities and declare all unpaid principal, interest and other amounts owing under the credit facilities to be immediately due and payable. As of March 28, 2010 the balance on the term loan facility was $330,000 and the balance on the revolving credit facility was zero.

|
Commitments and Contingencies
|
On April 22, 2009 the Company’s board of directors amended the stock purchase plan first adopted on May 23, 2007 and previously amended on June 2, 2008, 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. As of March 28, 2010, there were 848,425 shares available to be repurchased under the plan.
The Company is also 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 unfavorably.
(4) Stock-Based Compensation
For the quarter and nine months ended March 28, 2010, we recognized stock-based compensation of $43,000 and $122,000, respectively. As of March 28, 2010, unamortized stock-based compensation expense was $0.2 million.

For the quarter and nine months ended March 28, 2010, options to purchase 600,510 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.90 to $3.17 per share were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period. For the quarter and nine months ended March 29, 2009, options to purchase 485,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.17 per share were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period.
(6) Closed restaurants and discontinued operations
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 the 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.
The Company closed two of its restaurants in Houston, Texas during the quarter ended September 23, 2007. The results of operations for these two restaurants are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. No provision for impairment was required to be taken at that time because the impairment taken in the fiscal year ended June 24, 2007, reduced the carrying value of the properties to their estimated net realizable value. The net realizable value remains unchanged. The two properties are on the market for sub-lease. Because we believe that the properties will sub-lease at or above the current lease rates, we have not reserved any additional costs related to our obligations under these non-cancelable leases.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into a lease buy-out of one of these locations for $150,000 which eliminated all future obligations under the lease.
(7) Income Taxes
Management re-evaluates the deferred tax asset each quarter and believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of $0.7 million will be fully realized based on the Company’s recent history of pre-tax profits and the expectation of future taxable income as well as the future reversal of existing temporary differences. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2010, the Company provided $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively in net tax expense. In determining this amount, the Company made its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined was used to provide for income taxes on a current year to date basis.

Property Held for Sale
|
Assets that are to be disposed of by sale are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the lower of carrying amount or estimated net realizable value (proceeds less cost to sell), and are not depreciated after being classified as held for sale. In order for an asset to be classified as held for sale, the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale and meet certain other specified criteria. At March 28, 2010, the Company had approximately $16,000 of assets classified as held for sale, representing miscellaneous trailers and other transportation equipment.

Subsequent Events
|
We have evaluated events or transactions occurring after March 28, 2010, the balance sheet date, through May 11, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and determined there have been no such events or transactions which would impact our financial statements for the quarter ended March 28, 2010. As mentioned in Footnote 6, subsequent to quarter end the Company entered into a lease buy-out of one of it’s closed locations for $150,000 which eliminated all future obligations under the lease.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2009, and may contain certain forward-looking statements that are based on current management expectations. Generally, verbs in the future tense and the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intends,” “opinion,” “potential” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this report include, without limitation, statements relating to our business objectives, our customers and franchisees, our liquidity and capital resources, and the impact of our historical and potential business strategies on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our actual results could differ materially from our expectations. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2009. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation to, publicly update or revise such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Results of Operations
Overview
The Company is an operator, franchisor and food and supply distributor to a system of restaurants operating under the trade name "Pizza Inn." Our distribution division is Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”). At March 28, 2010, there were 311 domestic and international Pizza Inn restaurants, consisting of three Company-owned domestic restaurants, 233 franchised domestic restaurants, and 75 franchised international restaurants. The 236 domestic restaurants consisted of: (i) 152 restaurants that offer dine-in, carry-out, and in many cases, delivery services (“Buffet Units”); (ii) 37 restaurants that offer delivery and carry-out services only (“Delco Units”); and (iii) 47 restaurants that are typically located within a convenience store, college campus building, airport terminal, or other commercial facility and offer quick carry-out service from a limited menu (“Express Units”). The 236 domestic restaurants were located in 17 states predominately situated in the southern half of the United States. The 75 international restaurants were located in 11 foreign countries.
Basic and diluted income per common share remained unchanged at $0.05 for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period ended March 29, 2009. Net income for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 was also flat at $0.4 million compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $10.2 million for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 and $10.8 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
Year to date basic and diluted net income per share increased to $0.14 per share as of March 28, 2010, compared to $0.09 for the comparable period ended March 29, 2009. Year to date net income for fiscal 2010 increased to $1.1 million on revenues of $30.6 million as compared to net income of $0.8 million on revenues of $33.4 million for the similar period of fiscal 2009. The year to date increase in net income for fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to a non-recurring legal settlement and severance payments incurred in fiscal 2009.

Management believes that key performance indicators in evaluating financial results include domestic chain-wide retail sales and the number and type of operating restaurants. The following table summarizes these key performance indicators.

Revenues
Currently our revenues are derived from restaurant operations, sales of food, paper products and supplies by Norco to franchisees, franchise royalties and franchise fees. Our financial results are dependent in large part upon the pricing and cost of these products and supplies to franchisees, and the level of chain-wide retail sales, which are driven by changes in same store sales and restaurant count.
Total revenues for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 decreased 5%, or $0.6 million, to $10.2 million from $10.8 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Food and supply sales decreased $0.8 million driven primarily by a decrease in total domestic chain-wide retail sales, while restaurant sales increased $0.2 million due to the opening of a new Company store during the current fiscal year. Total revenues for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 decreased 8%, or $2.8 million, to $30.6 million from $33.4 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Food and supply sales decreased $3.5 million driven primarily by a decrease in total domestic chain-wide retail sales, while restaurant sales increased $0.8 million due to the opening of new Company stores in the second quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2010.
Food and Supply Sales
Food and supply sales by Norco include food and paper products and other distribution revenues. Food and supply sales for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 decreased 8%, or $0.8 million, to $8.4 million from $9.1 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Domestic food and paper sales accounted for the decrease, driven primarily by a decrease in total domestic chain-wide retail sales of 10%, or $3.4 million, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Food and supply sales for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 decreased 12%, or $3.5 million, to $25.4 million from $28.9 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Domestic food and paper sales accounted for $3.3 million of the decrease, driven primarily by: (i) a 13% decrease in cheese prices; and (ii) a decrease in total domestic chain-wide retail sales of 8%, or $7.3 million, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
14
Franchise Revenue
Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and area development and foreign master license sales, decreased 1%, or $15,000, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. Franchise revenues decreased 2%, or $57,000, for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in domestic royalties was the result of lower retail sales driven by unit closures and the decrease in comparable store sales. The decrease in domestic royalties was partially offset by higher domestic and international franchise fees and income generated from the buyout by a franchisee of an existing franchise agreement for $44,000 in the first quarter of this fiscal year. Due to the “0% First Year Royalty” incentive program the Company had in place for new franchise Buffet Units signed by the end of the prior fiscal year, new Buffet Units opened during the current fiscal year have not generated increased domestic royalties. The following chart summarizes the major components of franchise revenue (in thousands):

Costs and Expenses
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, which includes primarily direct materials, distribution fees and labor directly related to food and supply sales and restaurant sales, decreased 8%, or $0.7 million, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. Cost of sales decreased 11%, or $3.1 million, for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. These decreases were primarily the result of lower commodity costs combined with lower food and supply sales.
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 5%, or $27,000, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to higher international travel and international franchise sales personnel. For the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 franchise expenses decreased 2%, or $25,000, from the comparable period of the prior year. These savings were largely the result of lower amortization of a re-acquired area developer territory and reduced research and development, training material and sales related costs, offset by higher payroll for additional training and international franchise sales personnel.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased 9%, or $0.1 million, to $0.9 million for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. For the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 general and administrative expenses increased 6%, or $0.2 million, to $2.5 million from $2.3 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2010 was primarily due to higher legal fees and general and administrative expenses associated with the new Company owned store in Fort Worth, Texas, partially offset by lower accounting and other professional fees.

Provision for Bad Debts
Provision for bad debt expense remained unchanged at $15,000, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Provision for bad debt expense decreased 8%, or $5,000, for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 53%, or $9,000, for the three month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense increased 16%, or $7,000, for the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense is the result of fully amortizing the facility fee related to a credit facility that was repaid and terminated in January, 2010.
18
Provision for Income Tax
For the three month period and nine month period ended March 28, 2010, income tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was 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. Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize the net deferred tax asset of $0.7 million.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations includes ongoing occupancy costs associated with the two Company-owned stores closed in Houston, Texas during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into a lease buy-out of one of these locations for $150,000 which eliminated all future obligations under the lease.
Restaurant Openings and Closings
During the three month period ended March 28, 2010, two new domestic Buffet Units, one new Delco Unit and one international Unit were opened by Pizza Inn franchisees. Four domestic restaurants (one Buffet Unit and three Delco Units) and two international restaurants were closed by franchisees during the quarter. During the nine month period ended March 28, 2010, four new domestic Buffet Units, four new Delco Units and nine international Units were opened by Pizza Inn franchisees, with one additional domestic Buffet Unit opened as a Company store. Fourteen domestic restaurants (five Buffet Units, five Delco Units and four Express Units) and two international restaurants were closed by franchisees. Unit closures during the year were typically because of unsatisfactory standards of operation or poor performance. The territory of one of the closed Buffet Units was acquired by the Company and is adjacent to an existing Company owned Buffet Unit. We do not believe that these closings had any material impact on the collectibility of our outstanding receivables and royalties due to us because (i) these amounts have been reserved for or are otherwise collectable and (ii) these closed restaurants were generally lower volume restaurants whose financial impact on our business as a whole was not significant. For those 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 for on delivery and/or with certified funds and royalty and advertising fees are collected as add-ons to the delivered price of weekly food orders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and our credit facilities.
Cash flows from operating activities generally reflect net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, changes in working capital and accrued expenses. In the nine month period ended March 28, 2010, cash provided by operations was $1.2 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.1 million in the comparable period for the prior year. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to (a) an increase in net income, (b) a slight decrease in trade payables in the current year compared to a significant decrease in the prior year, (c) an increase in accrued expenses in the current year primarily for deferred rent on the new Company store and the upcoming franchise convention, compared to a decrease in the prior year due to year end bonuses paid in the first quarter of the prior year, and (d) increased deferred franchise fee revenue. These increases in cash flow provided by operations were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses compared to decreases in these accounts in the prior year.
Cash flows from investing activities generally reflect capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets. The Company used cash of $0.7 million during the nine month period ended March 28, 2010, primarily for a new Company store that opened in Fort Worth, Texas. This compares to cash used by investing activities of $1.0 million attributed primarily to the Denton store and corporate information technology upgrades for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Cash flows from financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's borrowings during the period and repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. Net cash used for financing activities was $0.3 million in the nine month period ended March 28, 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease in cash used for financing activities was primarily due to the absence of stock repurchases in fiscal 2010, net of the repayment of bank debt.
Credit Facilities
On January 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Amegy Bank National Association (“Amegy”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $1.0 million term loan facility.
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility through January 11, 2013, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility mature. Availability under the revolving credit facility is limited by advance rates on eligible inventory and accounts receivable, and the Company is required to maintain a zero balance on the revolving credit facility for at least 30 consecutive days each year. Interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the revolving credit facility is computed at Amegy’s prime rate and is payable monthly. A quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% is payable on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
Through January 11, 2011, Amegy has agreed to make up to four term loans under the term facility. Advances for such term loans are limited by a percentage of the costs of equipment and leasehold improvements for new restaurant locations of the Company and may not be reborrowed after repayment. Interest only is payable monthly on each term loan for up to 120 days after the initial advance. Thereafter, each term loan is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest. Interest on each term loan accrues at Amegy’s prime rate plus 1% or, at the Company’s option, a fixed rate determined by Amegy. A fee of 0.5% of the total term loan facility was paid at closing.
21
The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Loan Agreement contains various affirmative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to provide Amegy with certain financial statements, compliance statements, reports and other information. The Loan Agreement also contains various negative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and restrict the ability of the Company to engage in certain activities. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, Amegy may terminate all commitments under the credit facilities and declare all unpaid principal, interest and other amounts owing under the credit facilities to be immediately due and payable.
Conclusion
Management believes the cash on hand combined with cash from operations and available credit facilities is sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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 or 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 an allowance for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts which may be uncollectible based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, general customer creditworthiness and the franchisee’s ability to pay, as reflected by the franchisee’s sales and operating results, and other general and local economic trends. Actual realization of amounts receivable could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.
Inventory, which consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies primarily warehoused by the Company’s third-party distributors, is stated at lower of cost or market, with cost determined according to the weighted average cost method. The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate the amount of obsolete and excess inventory. The determination of obsolete and excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for the Company’s products within specific time horizons, generally six months or less. If the Company’s demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and the Company fails to reduce purchasing accordingly, the Company could be required to write down additional inventory, which would have a negative impact on the Company’s gross margin.
22
As of June 24, 2007 we had recorded a valuation allowance based on our assessment that the realization of a portion of our net deferred tax assets did not meet the “more likely than not” criterion under the authoritative guidance on “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The entire valuation allowance was released in fiscal 2008. As a result, the effective tax rate for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 is estimated to be 34%.
The Company assesses its exposures to loss contingencies, including legal matters, based upon factors such as the current status of the cases and consultations with external counsel and accrues a reserve if a loss 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 impacted.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting company.
Item 4T. 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 and principal financial officers, 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 and principal financial officers, 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.
