ORGANIZATION AND 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 domestic fast casual restaurants 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.

 

As of June 24, 2012, the Company operated six Company-owned Pie Fie Pizza Company restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) and the Pizza Inn trademarked system consisted of 292 restaurants, including four Company-owned restaurants and 288 franchised restaurants.  The 211 domestic Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 135 buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”), 29 delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and 47 express restaurants (“Express Units”).  The 81 international Pizza Inn franchised restaurants were comprised of 19 Buffet Units, 52 Delco Units and 10 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 35%, 17%, 9% and 8%, 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.

 

The Company closed two of its restaurants in Houston, Texas during fiscal 2007.  The results of operations for these two restaurants are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  No provision for impairment was required to be taken at that time because the impairment taken in the fiscal year ended June 24, 2007, reduced the carrying value of the properties to their estimated net realizable value (proceeds less cost to sell).  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into a lease buy-out of one of these locations for $150,000 which eliminated all future obligations under this lease.  The estimated net realizable value for the remaining location remains unchanged.  This property is on the market for sub-lease.  Because we believe that the property will sub-lease at or above the current lease rates, we have not reserved any additional costs related to our obligations under this non-cancelable lease.

 

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 two to 39 years.

 

Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessments:

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 2012 and 2011 determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be fully realized based on the Company’s recent history of pre-tax profits, 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 the 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 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.  Federal returns for tax years 2009 through 2011 remain open for examination as of June 24, 2012.

 

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 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, 95% and 91%, 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 24, 2012, 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 $1.7 million in bank debt at June 24, 2012.  The fair value of bank debt approximated its carrying value at June 24, 2012.

 

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 24, 2012 and the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011 both contained 52 weeks.
