Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Description of Business:

 

Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, or in the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) operate and franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out and express restaurants domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and operate and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”.  We provide or facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors.

 

As of June 29, 2014, we owned and operated 15 restaurants comprised of 13 Pie Five restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and two Pizza Inn buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”).  As of that date, we also had seven franchised Pie Five Units and 251 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants.  The 180 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 103 Buffet Units, 24 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 53 express restaurants (“Express Units”).  The 71 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 18 Buffet Units, 45 Delco Units and 8 Express Units.  Domestic restaurants were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas and Mississippi accounting for approximately 34%, 14%, 12% and 6%, respectively, of the total number of domestic restaurants.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

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

 

Reclassifications:

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

 

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.

 

Inventories:

 

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.

 

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 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.

 

Discontinued operations include losses from two Pizza Inn locations in Texas.  One is a leased building associated with a Company-owned restaurant closed during fiscal 2008.  The other is results of operations for a Company-owned restaurant that was closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 due to declining sales.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred while major renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in operations.  The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects.  Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.

 

Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the term of the lease including any reasonably assured renewal periods, if shorter.  The useful lives of the assets range from three to ten years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Asset and other Lease Charges:

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use 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. During fiscal year 2014 and 2013, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and recognized pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to the carrying value of two Company-owned Buffet Units in Texas and three Company-owned Pie Five Units in Texas.

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

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

 

Notes Receivable:

 

Notes receivable primarily consist of accounts receivable from franchisees converted into notes.  The majority of amounts and terms are contained under formal promissory and personal guarantee agreements.  All notes allow for early payment without penalty.  Fixed principle and interest payments are due weekly or monthly.  Interest income is recognized monthly. Notes receivable mature at various dates through 2016 and bear interest at rates that range from 7% to 15% (8% average rate at June 29, 2014).

 

Management evaluates the creditworthiness of franchisees by considering credit history and sales to evaluate credit risk. Management determines interest rates based on credit risk of the underlining franchisee.  The Company monitors payment history to determine whether or not a loan should be placed on a nonaccrual status or impaired.

 

 

The Company charges off notes receivable based on an account-by-account analysis of the borrower’s current economic conditions, monthly payments history and historical loss experience. The allowance for doubtful notes receivable is included with the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Notes receivable as of June 29, 2014 totaled $215,000, of which $81,000 is included in current assets, notes receivable and $134,000 is included in long-term notes receivable in the accompanying balance sheet.

There were no charge offs for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014.

 

Income Taxes:

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Income Taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement and carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.  The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

 

Management evaluates the deferred tax asset at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine if an allowance against the deferred tax asset is required, and at the end of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be fully realized based on the expectation of future taxable income and the future reversal of temporary differences.  Therefore, no allowance was recorded.  This determination and future estimates could be impacted by changes in future taxable income, the results of tax strategies or changes in tax laws.

 

The Company follows authoritative guidance that 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.  This authoritative guidance 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 June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.  Federal returns for tax years 2010 through 2013 remained open for examination as of June 29, 2014.

 

Pre-Opening Expense:

 

The Company's pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and generally include payroll and other direct costs associated with training new managers and employees prior to opening a new restaurant, rent and other unit operating expenses incurred prior to opening, and promotional costs associated with the opening.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

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. The Company's Norco division sells food and supplies to franchisees on trade accounts under terms common in the industry.  Norco sales are reflected under the caption "Food and supply sales."  Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the associated costs are included in cost of sales.

 

 

 

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. For the years ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, 91% and 93%, respectively, of franchise revenue was comprised of recurring royalties.

 

Stock Options:

 

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.

 

At June 29, 2014, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan, and one stock-based non-employee director compensation plan.  Stock options under these plans are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant.  Generally those options vest ratably over various vesting periods.  The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are described more fully in Note H.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company had approximately $0.8 million in bank debt at June 29, 2014.  The fair value of bank debt approximated its carrying value at June 29, 2014.

 

Contingencies:

 

Provisions for legal settlements are accrued when payment is considered probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with the authoritative guidance on Accounting for Contingencies.  If the best estimate of cost can only be identified within a range and no specific amount within that range can be determined more likely than any other amount within the range, and the loss is considered probable, the minimum of the range is accrued.  Legal and related professional services costs to defend litigation are expensed as incurred.

 

Use of Management Estimates:

 

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

 

Fiscal Year:

 

The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in June.  The fiscal year ended June 29, 2014 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 contained 52 and 53 weeks, respectively.
