NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Rave Restaurant Group, 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 28, 2015.

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 and nine month periods ended March 27, 2016 and March 29, 2015, each contained 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.

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 ("GAAP") 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.

(2)	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 March 27, 2016, 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.

(3) Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended March 27, 2016, and March 29, 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $45,000 and $30,000, respectively. For the nine month periods ended March 27, 2016, and March 29, 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $135,000 and $83,000, respectively. As of March 27, 2016, unamortized stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million.

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

<BTB>	Nine Months Ended
<BTB>	March 27, 2016			March 29, 2015

Outstanding at beginning of year		871,798			921,198

Granted		42,786			108,800
Exercised		(3,000	)		(170,200	)
Forfeited/Canceled/Expired		(39,111	)		-

Outstanding at end of period		872,473			859,798

Exercisable at end of period		563,537			395,178

(4)	Earnings per Share (EPS)

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).

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Net loss per common share	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.61	)	$	(0.12	)

For the three months ended March 27, 2016, options to purchase 231,250 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.74 to $13.11 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.

(5) 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 is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The authoritative guidance on "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This authoritative guidance also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability.

Discontinued operations reflect losses from two Company-owned Pizza Inn locations in Texas. These losses were attributable to leasehold expense associated with a restaurant closed during fiscal 2008 and operating results for a restaurant closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

(6) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company has open tax years for the U.S. federal return from fiscal year 2012 forward and fiscal year 2011 for various state purposes.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2105-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, issued on November 20, 2015, eliminates the requirement for entities that present a classified statement of financial position to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent, and instead require that they classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The Company is making an early adoption of this accounting standard on a prospective basis.

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

(7) Related Party Transactions

On February 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the "Agreement") with NCM Services, Inc. ("NCMS") pursuant to which NCMS will provide certain advisory and consulting services to the Company. NCMS is indirectly owned and controlled by Mark E. Schwarz, the Chairman of the Company. The term of the Agreement commenced December 30, 2013, and continues quarterly thereafter until terminated by either party. Pursuant to the Agreement, NCMS was paid an initial fee of $150,000 and earns quarterly fees of $50,000 and an additional fee of up to $50,000 per quarter (not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000 in additional fees). The quarterly and additional fees are waived if the Company is not in compliance with all financial covenants under its primary credit facility or to the extent that payment of those fees would result in non-compliance with such financial covenants.

(8)	Segment Reporting

Domestic restaurants are located in 26 states predominantly situated in the southern half of the United States. International restaurants are located in seven foreign countries.

Basic and diluted income per common share declined $0.06 and $07 per share, respectively, to a loss of $0.12 per share for the three month period ended March 27, 2016, compared to a loss of $0.06 per share and $0.05 per share, respectively, in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The Company had a net loss of $1.2 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016, and net loss of $0.6 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $15.3 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $11.9 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted income per common share declined $0.51 and $0.49 per share, respectively, to a loss of $0.64 and $0.61 per share, respectively, for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016, compared to a loss of $0.13 and $0.12, respectively, per share in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The Company had a net loss of $6.6 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016, and net loss of $1.2 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $45.1 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $34.3 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss from prior year was primarily due to impairment expense of $0.8 million and a full valuation allowance of $4.0 million against all net deferred tax assets, as well as decreased income from the Pizza Inn international franchisee in the Middle East, increased pre-opening expenses, higher general and administrative and franchise costs related to additional personnel, and other resources to support the growth of the Pie Five franchising and opening of Company-owned restaurants. We have also experienced lower sales and financial performance by Company-owned Pie Five stores in newer markets.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2016, decreased to ($0.2) million compared to $0.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million the prior fiscal year.

Pie Five system-wide retail sales increased $7.7 million, or 117.9%, for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year. System-wide average weekly sales declined by $1,213, or 8.6%, from $14,171 in the same fiscal quarter of the prior year to $12,958 for the three months ended March 27, 2016. Compared to the same fiscal quarter of the prior year, average units open in the period increased from 35 to 84. Comparable store retail sales decreased by $150 thousand, or 4.0%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Pie Five system-wide retail sales increased $22.3 million, or 140.5%, for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year. System-wide average weekly sales declined by $1,195, or 8.1%, from $14,724 in the same fiscal quarter of the prior year to $13,529 for the nine months ended March 27, 2016. Year-to-date fiscal 2016 compared to the year-to-date of the prior year, average units open in the period increased from 27 to 72. Comparable store retail sales decreased by $153 thousand during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.

The following chart summarizes Pie Five restaurant activity for the three and nine month periods ended March 27, 2016:

	Three Months Ended March 27, 2016				Nine Months Ended March 27, 2016

Domestic - Company-owned	33	3	2	34	24	12	2	34
Total domestic Units	82	6	3	85	54	34	3	85

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

Pizza Inn domestic comparable store retail sales decreased 2.2%, for the three months ended March 27, 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year.

Total Pizza Inn domestic retail sales decreased $3.7 million, or 5.3%, for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year. Pizza Inn domestic comparable store retail sales decreased 1.4%, for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 when compared to the same period of the prior year.

The following chart summarizes Pizza Inn restaurant activity for the three and nine month periods ended March 27, 2016:

There was a net decrease of six domestic Pizza Inn units during the three months ended March 27, 2016 and a net decrease of eighteen units for the nine months ended March 27, 2016 (which included four stores that were temporarily closed for portions of the current and prior fiscal year). We believe this is consistent with the recent trend of modest domestic store closures. The number of international Pizza Inn units declined by 11 units.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

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

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

·	"EBITDA" represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

·	"Adjusted EBITDA" represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, pre-opening expense, costs related to impairment, non-operating store costs and discontinued operations.

·	"Retail sales" represents the restaurant sales reported by our franchisees and Company-owned restaurants, which may be segmented by brand or domestic/international locations.

·	"System-wide retail sales" represents combined retail sales for franchisee and Company-owned restaurants for a specified brand.

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

·	"Store weeks" represent the total number of full weeks that specified restaurants were open during the period.

·	"Average units open" reflects the number of restaurants open during a reporting period weighted by the percentage of the weeks in a reporting period that each restaurant was open.

·	"Average weekly sales" for a specified period is calculated as total retail sales (excluding partial weeks) divided by store weeks in the period.

"Restaurant operating cash flow" represents the pre-tax income earned by Company-owned restaurants before (1) allocated marketing and advertising expenses, (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) pre-opening expenses, (4) operations management and extraordinary expenses, (5) impairment charges, and (6) non-operating store costs.

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

·	"Pre-opening expenses" consist primarily of certain costs incurred prior to the opening of a restaurant, including: (1) marketing and promotional expenses, (2) accrued rent, and (3) manager salaries, employee payroll and related training costs.

Financial Results

Revenues:

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

Total revenues for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $15.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Total revenues for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $45.1 million and $34.3 million, respectively. Revenue consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 27,		March 29,		March 27,		March 29,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Food and supply sales	$	8,482	$	7,468	$	25,906	$	22,199
Franchise revenue		1,274		1,238		3,989		3,324
Restaurant sales		5,506		3,199		15,214		8,816
Total revenue	$	15,262	$	11,905	$	45,109	$	34,339

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 March 27, 2016, food and supply sales increased to $8.5 million compared to $7.5 million the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to a $3.3 million, or 12.2%, increase in total domestic franchisee retail sales. For the nine month period ended March 27, 2016, food and supply sales increased to $25.9 million compared to $22.2 million the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to a $12.3 million, or 16.1%, increase in total domestic franchisee retail sales driven by an increase in the number of Pie Five franchisee stores.

Franchise Revenue

Franchise revenue, which includes income from domestic and international royalties and license fees, increased by $36 thousand and $0.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended March 27, 2016, respectively, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. These increases were the result of higher royalties resulting from increased Pie Five franchisee retail sales and an increase in franchise fees and development fees related to Pie Five.

Restaurant Sales

Restaurant sales, which consist of revenue generated by Company-owned restaurants, increased 72.1%, or $2.3 million, to $5.5 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016, compared to $3.2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Restaurant sales increased 72.6%, or $6.4 million, to $15.2 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016, compared to $8.8 million for the comparable period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to the opening of new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016.

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 to $13.8 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $10.2 million in the three month period ended March 29, 2015. Cost of sales increased to $39.3 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $29.3 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The increases in costs were primarily the result of new Company-owned restaurants and increased food and supply sales by Norco.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $1.9 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2015. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.1 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter and fiscal year to date were primarily due to expenses related to supporting expansion of the Pie Five brand.

Franchise Expenses

Franchise expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of domestic and international franchises. These expenses increased to $0.9 million for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $0.8 million for the three month period ended March 29, 2015. Franchise expenses increased to $2.7 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $2.3 million for the nine month period ended March 29, 2015. The increase in franchise expenses for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2016, were primarily attributable to expansion of the Pie Five franchise network.

Pre-Opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses decreased slightly to $0.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $0.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2015. Pre-opening expenses increased to $0.9 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 compared to $0.4 million for the same nine month period of fiscal 2015. The fiscal year to date increase was due primarily to an increased number of Company-owned Pie Five stores under development.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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 values. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. The Company has tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.8 million related to the carrying value of three Pie Five restaurants.

Bad Debt Expense

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. Bad debt expense decreased to ($80) thousand for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 as compared to $36 thousand in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Bad debt expense remained relatively stable for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense remained stable for the three month period ended March 27, 2016 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year as a result of the payoff of the Company's bank credit facilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Provision for Income Tax

For the three months ended March 27, 2016, income tax benefit of approximately $0.5 million is calculated at a rate consistent with the 34% statutory U.S. federal rate offset by an income tax expense of $0.5 million related to valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The nominal income tax expense for the three months ended March 27, 2016 relates to an accrual for franchise taxes. For the nine months ended March 27, 2016, income tax expense of $2.6 million represents an income tax benefit of $1.4 million calculated at a rate consistent with the 34% statutory U.S. federal rate offset by an income tax expense of $4.0 million related to recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

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

Discontinued Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of common stock.

Cash flows from operating activities generally reflect net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred tax assets, share based compensation, and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities decreased $0.5 million to cash provided of $2.1 million for the period ended March 27, 2016 compared to cash provided of $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2015.

Cash flows from investing activities reflects capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets. The Company used cash of $7.6 million for the nine month period ended March 27, 2016, primarily for new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants. This compares to cash used by investing activities of $3.8 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year attributable to Company-owned Pie Five restaurants that opened during the period.

Cash flows from financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's borrowings and stock activity during the period. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million and $7.0 million for the nine month periods ended March 27, 2016 and March 29, 2015, respectively, which primarily reflected proceeds from the sale of stock in both periods offset by the repayment of bank debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

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

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV pursuant to which the Company could initially offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the "2014 ATM Offering"). On February 13, 2015, the aggregate offering amount of the 2014 ATM Offering was increased to $10,000,000. The 2014 ATM Offering is being undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2014. Through March 27, 2016, the Company had sold an aggregate of 825,763 shares in the 2014 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate gross proceeds of $8.1 million.

Management believes the cash on hand combined with cash from operations and proceeds from the 2014 ATM Offering will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

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

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

Effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, The Company changed its distribution arrangements to shift the responsibility for maintaining system-wide distribution inventory from Norco to third party distributors. As a result, as of March 27, 2016, inventory consisted primarily of food, paper products and supplies stored in and used by Company restaurants and was stated at lower of first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or market. The valuation of such restaurant inventory requires us to estimate the amount of obsolete and excess inventory based on estimates of future retail sales by Company-owned restaurants. Overestimating retail sales by Company-owned restaurants could result in the write-down of inventory which would have a negative impact on the gross margin of such Company-owned restaurants.

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 its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

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.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 27, 2016 and March 29, 2015, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

The Company assesses its exposures to loss contingencies from legal matters based upon factors such as the current status of the cases and consultations with external counsel and provides for the exposure by accruing an amount if it is judged to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the actual loss from a contingency differs from management's estimate, operating results could be adversely impacted.
