NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn Holdings, 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2012.

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.

(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
The three month periods ended December 23, 2012 and December 25, 2011, each contained 13 weeks.  The six month periods ended December 23, 2012 and December 25, 2011, each contained 26 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 sales revenues, including shipping and handling costs, are recognized upon delivery of the product. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

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 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
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.

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.

Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

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.  On January 10, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement increasing the Company's term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement. On October 26, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement further increasing the Company’s term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement.  On June 1, 2012, the Company and Amegy entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement which revised certain definitions and financial covenants contained in the Company’s credit facilities with Amegy. As amended, the Amegy credit facility ultimately consisted of a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $4.0 million term loan facility, in addition to $0.7 million in existing term loans.

Interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the Amegy revolving credit facility was computed at the greater of Amegy’s prime rate or 5% and was payable monthly.  A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Interest on each term loan accrued at the greater of 6% or Amegy’s prime rate plus 1%. A fee of 0.5% of the total term loan facility was paid at closing.

On August 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million advancing term loan facility.  An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing.

The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the F&M revolving credit facility through August 28, 2014, 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.  Per annum interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the revolving credit facility is computed at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.00% and is payable monthly.  An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
 
At closing, F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at a fixed rate of 4.574% per annum.  Amounts repaid under this fully funded term loan may not be reborrowed. Proceeds from the F&M Loan Agreement were used to repay amounts borrowed under the Amegy credit facility and the Amegy credit facility was canceled.
 
Through August 28, 2014, F&M has agreed to make up to $6.0 million in additional term loans to the Company.  Advances for such additional term loans are limited by a percentage of the costs of equipment, leasehold improvements and other opening costs for new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants and may not be reborrowed after repayment.  Interest only is payable monthly on all additional term loan advances during an annual borrowing period.  At the end of each annual borrowing period, all additional term loan advances during such borrowing period become payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest. Interest on each term loan accrues at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.00% or, at the Company’s option, a fixed rate equal to the Bloomberg 4-year LIBOR swap rate plus 3.90%.

As security for the credit facilities, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The F&M Loan Agreement contains various affirmative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to provide F&M with certain financial statements, compliance statements, reports and other information. The F&M 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 F&M Loan Agreement and any cure periods have expired, F&M 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 December 23, 2012, the total outstanding borrowings under the F&M Loan Agreement were $2.8 million. As of December 23, 2012, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $1.8 million under the revolving credit facility and $5.1 million under the advancing term loan facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the F&M Loan Agreement.

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 to a total of 3,016,000 shares.  As of December 23, 2012, up to an additional 848,425 shares could be purchased under the plan.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company believes that all such claims and actions currently pending against it are either adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

 (4)         Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months and six months ended December 23, 2012, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $45,000 and $90,000, respectively.  As of December 23, 2012, unamortized stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million.

For the three and six months ended December 23, 2012, options to purchase 206,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $3.11 to $5.51 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices exceeded 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.

Loss from discontinued operations reflects costs associated with a former Company-owned restaurant in Houston, Texas that was closed during the quarter ended September 23, 2007. This property is on the market for sub-lease. Because we believe that the property will sub-lease at or above the contracted lease rates, we have not reserved any additional costs related to our obligations under this non-cancelable lease.

(7)           Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended December 23, 2012, income tax benefit of $103,000 and $148,000, 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 $1.1 million.

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 24, 2012, 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 24, 2012.  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 operates and franchises pizza buffet (“Buffet Units”), delivery/carry-out (“Delco Units”) and express (“Express Units”) restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operates domestic fast casual pizza restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. We provide or facilitate food, equipment and supply distribution to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors. At December 23, 2012, Company and franchised restaurants consisted of the following:

On September 25, 2011, we completed a corporate reorganization creating a holding company structure. The reorganization was implemented through an agreement and plan of merger under Section 351.448 of The General Corporation Law of the State of Missouri, which did not require a vote of the shareholders. As a result of the reorganization, the previous parent company, Pizza Inn, Inc., is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the new parent company, Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc.  In the reorganization, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Pizza Inn, Inc. was converted into a share of common stock of the Company, with the same designations, rights, qualifications, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, and without any action being required on the part of holders of shares of Pizza Inn, Inc. common stock or any exchange of stock certificates. Shares of the Company’s common stock were substituted for the shares of common stock of Pizza Inn, Inc. listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and continue to trade under the same “PZZI” symbol but with a new CUSIP Number (725846109).

In connection with the reorganization, Pie Five Pizza Company, Inc. and PIBC Holdings, Inc. were also organized as direct subsidiaries of the new holding company.  Pie Five Pizza Company, Inc. was created to provide separation of the operating concepts and provide a platform for franchising the Pie Five concept.  PIBC Holdings, Inc. will hold, through its subsidiaries, the liquor licenses for both the Pizza Inn and Pie Five branded Company-owned restaurants.

           Basic and diluted income per common share decreased $0.02 to a loss of $0.01 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to income of $0.01 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The Company had a net loss for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 of $0.1 million compared to net income of $0.1 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $10.5 million for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $10.3 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 decreased 56.6%, or $0.2 million, to $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

The reduction in net income from prior year is primarily due to lower revenue earned from franchising and food and supply sales, and higher costs related to the continued development of the Pie Five concept.

The following table summarizes the results and key performance indicators for the Pie Five and Pizza Inn Company-owned restaurants. We believe this information is useful to management and investors to measure the performance of the Company-owned restaurants. These indicators provide performance trend information as well as the cash flow of the restaurants before pre-opening costs and allocated corporate administration and other expenses. This information is important in evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for our reported GAAP results. The three and six month periods ended December 23, 2012 and December 25, 2011, each contained 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively. All amounts are in thousands except the store weeks, average weekly sales and the average number of units.

Store weeks represent the total number of weeks Company-owned restaurants were open during the period. Average weekly sales represents the average weekly revenues earned by the Company-owned restaurants that were open during the period. Restaurant operating cash flow represents the income earned by Company-owned restaurants plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) pre-opening expenses, and (3) allocated corporate administration and other expenses. Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of certain costs incurred prior to the opening of a restaurant, including: (1) marketing and promotional expenses, (2) accrued rent, and (3) manager salaries, employee payroll and related training costs.

Revenues

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

Total revenues for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $10.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively.  Total revenues for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $21.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively.  Revenue consisted of the following:

Food and Supply Sales

Food and supply sales by Norco include food and paper products and other distribution revenues. For the three month period ended December 23, 2012, food and supply sales decreased to $7.7 million compared to $8.1 million the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in sales to franchisees as a result of a $2.3 million, or 8.7%, decrease in domestic franchisee retail sales primarily attributable to a reduction in the average number of stores open and a decrease in same store sales in the current year when compared to the prior year. For the six month period ended December 23, 2012, food and supply sales decreased to $15.4 million compared to $17.0 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in sales to franchisees as a result of a $4.9 million, or 9.1%, decrease in domestic franchisee retail sales primarily attributable to a reduction in the average number of stores open and a decrease in same store sales in the current year when compared to the prior year.

Franchise Revenue

 Franchise revenue, which includes income from domestic and international royalties and license fees, decreased by $53,000 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year as the result of lower royalties resulting from lower franchisee retail sales.  Franchise revenue decreased by $100,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year as the result of lower royalties resulting from lower franchisee retail sales offset by slightly higher domestic license fees.

Restaurant Sales

Restaurant sales, which consist of revenue generated by Company-owned restaurants, increased 55.8%, or $0.7 million, to $2.0 million for the three month period ended December 23, 2012, compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year.  Restaurant sales increased 48.5%, or $1.2 million, to $3.8 million for the six month period ended December 23, 2012, compared to $2.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year.  These increases were primarily due to the opening of five new Company-owned restaurants in fiscal 2012 and two new Company-owned restaurant during the six months ended December 23, 2012, partially offset by the closing of one Company-owned Delco restaurant in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales, which primarily includes food and supply costs, distribution fees, and labor and general and administrative expenses directly related to restaurant sales, increased 3.1%, or $0.3 million, to $8.9 million for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $8.6 million for the comparable period for the prior fiscal year.  The increases in costs were primarily the result of higher costs associated with new Company-owned restaurants.  Cost of sales decreased 1.1%, or $0.2 million, to $17.7 million for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $17.9 million for the comparable period for the prior fiscal year, due primarily to the decrease in food and supply sales during the current period when compared to the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million to $1.2 million for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period for the prior fiscal year primarily due to additional operating expenses associated with the new Company-owned Pie Five Units and $0.1 million of recruiting fees incurred for the Company’s search for the new Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Operations for  Pie Five. General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million to $2.2 million for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period for the prior fiscal year. Included in the current year expenses were approximately $0.2 million of recruiting fees and additional operating expenses associated with the new Company-owned Pie Five Units.

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 $45,000 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012, when compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  These expenses increased $94,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012, when compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The increases were primarily due to higher payroll and franchise marketing expenses associated with the Company’s Pie Five franchising efforts and higher expenses associated with development and testing of a pipeline of new menu items.

Pre-Opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of certain costs incurred prior to the opening of a restaurant, including: (1) marketing and promotional expenses, (2) accrued rent, and (3) manager salaries, employee payroll and related training costs. Pre-opening expenses decreased $79,000 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012, compared to the prior year comparable period due to the opening of one new Pie Five Unit in the current year period compared with three new Pie Five Units opened in the prior year period.  Pre-opening expenses decreased $12,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012, compared to the prior year due to the opening of two new Pie Five Units in the current year period compared with three new Pie Five Units opened in the prior year period.

Bad Debt Expense

Bad debt expense increased $30,000 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 and $60,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to increased accruals to the allowance for bad debts associated with increased risk of collecting receivables from franchisees experiencing decreased retail sales. The Company monitors franchisee retail sales and receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high risk accounts receivable.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $18,000 for the three month period ended December 23, 2012 and $106,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to higher average borrowings on the Company’s credit facilities in the current year primarily related to the opening of new Company-owned Pie Five Units in fiscal 2012 and to the write-off of capitalized loan origination costs during the three months ended September 23, 2012 as a result of the refinancing of the Company’s bank credit facilities.

Provision for Income Tax

For the three month and six month periods ended December 23, 2012, an income tax benefit of $103,000 and $148,000, 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 $1.1 million.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include losses from a Company-owned restaurant in Houston, Texas closed during the quarter ended September 23, 2007.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report and discuss our operating results using financial measures consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  From time to time we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures such as the EBITDA presented below.  We believe EBITDA is useful to investors as a widely used measure of operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially depending upon financing and accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structures and methods by which assets have been acquired. In addition, our management uses EBITDA in evaluating the effectiveness of our business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes.  However, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for our reported GAAP results.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the periods shown (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred tax assets, share based compensation, and changes in working capital.  Cash provided by operating activities increased $50,000 to $235,000 for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to $185,000 for the six months ended December 25, 2011. This increase was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $0.5 million in cash invested in working capital in the current year period when compared to the prior year period substantially offset by a decrease in net income adjusted for noncash items of approximately $0.5 million in the current year period when compared to the prior year period.
 
Cash flows from investing activities generally reflect capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets.  The Company used cash of $1.3 million for the six month period ended December 23, 2012, primarily for new Company-owned restaurants that opened or will open in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area, a new phone system and upgrades to existing Company stores.  This compares to cash used by investing activities of $1.2 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year attributable to Company-owned restaurants that opened in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area.

Cash flows from financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's borrowings during the period.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million for the six month period ended December 23, 2012 compared to net cash provided of $0.6 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

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.  On January 10, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement increasing the Company's term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement. On October 26, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement further increasing the Company’s term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement.  On June 1, 2012, the Company and Amegy entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement which revised certain definitions and financial covenants contained in the Company’s credit facilities with Amegy. As amended, the Amegy credit facility ultimately consisted of a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $4.0 million term loan facility, in addition to $0.7 million in existing term loans.

Interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the Amegy revolving credit facility was computed at the greater of Amegy’s prime rate or 5% and was payable monthly.  A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Interest on each term loan accrued at the greater of 6% or Amegy’s prime rate plus 1%. A fee of 0.5% of the total term loan facility was paid at closing.

On August 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million advancing term loan facility.  An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing.

The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the F&M revolving credit facility through August 28, 2014, 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.  Per annum interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the revolving credit facility is computed at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.00% and is payable monthly.  An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

At closing, F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at a fixed rate of 4.574% per annum.  Amounts repaid under this fully funded term loan may not be reborrowed. Proceeds from the F&M Loan Agreement were used to repay amounts borrowed under the Amegy credit facility and the Amegy credit facility was canceled.

Through August 28, 2014, F&M has agreed to make up to $6.0 million in additional term loans to the Company.  Advances for such additional term loans are limited by a percentage of the costs of equipment, leasehold improvements and other opening costs for new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants and may not be reborrowed after repayment.  Interest only is payable monthly on all additional term loan advances during an annual borrowing period.  At the end of each annual borrowing period, all additional term loan advances during such borrowing period become payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest. Interest on each term loan accrues at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.00% or, at the Company’s option, a fixed rate equal to the Bloomberg 4-year LIBOR swap rate plus 3.90%.

As security for the credit facilities, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The F&M Loan Agreement contains various affirmative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to provide F&M with certain financial statements, compliance statements, reports and other information. The F&M 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 F&M Loan Agreement and any cure periods have expired, F&M 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 December 23, 2012, the total outstanding borrowings under the F&M Loan Agreement were $2.8 million. As of December 23, 2012, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $1.8 million under the revolving credit facility and $5.1 million under the advancing term loan facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the F&M Loan Agreement.

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

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

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

Inventory, which consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies primarily warehoused by the Company’s third-party distributor, 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 inventory, which would have a negative impact on the Company’s gross margin.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable.  Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets compared to their carrying value.  If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows.  During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and determined there was no impairment.

The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based upon the Company’s analysis of existing tax credits by jurisdiction and expectations of the Company’s ability to utilize these tax assets through a review of estimated future taxable income and establishment of tax strategies.  These estimates could be materially impacted by changes in future taxable income, the results of tax strategies or changes in tax law.

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

On June 25, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, 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.  FIN 48 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 23, 2012 and September 25, 2011, 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 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.
