Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of Business:

Rave Restaurant Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, or in the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”) franchise pizza buffet, delivery/carry-out, express restaurants and ghost kitchens domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn” and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five”. The Company also licensed pizza kiosks under the “Pizza Inn” trademark but discontinued doing so during the fiscal year ended June 28, 2026. We facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through agreements with third-party distributors.

As of June 28, 2026, we had 109 franchised Pizza Inn restaurants,13 franchised Pie Five Units, andzero licensed Pizza Inn Express, or PIE, kiosks (“PIE Units”). The 91 domestic franchised Pizza Inn restaurants were comprised of 80 pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”), four delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”), seven express restaurants (“Express Units”), andzero ghost kitchen (“Pizza Inn Ghost Kitchen Units”). As of June 28, 2026, there were 18 international franchised Pizza Inn restaurants. Domestic Pizza Inn restaurants and kiosks were located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with North Carolina, Texas, Arkansas and South Carolina accounting for approximately 21%,18%,11% and 10%, respectively, of the total number of domestic units.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All appropriate inter-company 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.

Short-Term Investments:

The Company holds short-term investments in U.S. Treasury bills, classified as trading securities. Accordingly, interest income is recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income, when earned. Management has elected to classify all U.S. Treasury bills as short-term, regardless of their maturity dates, as these are readily available to fund current operations and can be liquidated at any time at the discretion of the Company. As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company held treasury bills valued at approximately $12.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, which are included within short-term investments on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest income is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows. For the years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, interest income recognized on thetreasury bills was $373 thousand, $313 thousand, and $151 thousand, respectively.

Index

Fair Value Measurements:

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are categorized based on the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three levels:

Level 1:

Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2:

Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3:

Inputs are unobservable and therefore reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury bills at June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, was determined using level 1 observable inputs.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands):

June 28, · June 29,
2026 · 2025
Fair Value Measurements · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
U.S. Treasury bills$12,487$-$-$12,487$7,024$-$-$7,024
Total$12,487$-$-$12,487$7,024$-$-$7,024

The Company hasno financial assets or liabilities classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

These items are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Balances in accounts are insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $250 thousand per institution. At June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of FDIC insurance coverage of approximately $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

The Company invests in U.S. Treasury bills, which are considered short-term investments. While U.S. Treasury bills are not insured by the FDIC, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. However, following the downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating in 2025, the Company recognizes that the long-term fiscal outlook of the United States has weakened. Nevertheless, the Company believes the credit risk associated with these investments is minimal.

Notes receivable, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of promissory notes from franchise agreements and structured Company-financed sales of assets. At June 28, 2026, and at various times during the fiscal year then ended, the Company had concentrations of credit risk with three franchisees on notes receivables with long-term maturities. At June 29, 2025, and at various times during the fiscal year then ended, the Company had concentrations of credit risk with three franchisees on notes receivables with both short and long term maturities. As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the financed asset sales were executed with a weighted average interest rate of 5.5% and 5.3%, respectively. Principal payments are due weekly or monthly and mature from January 1, 2027 to January 10, 2029.

Index

Property and Equipment:

Property 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 any property or equipment, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization are 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 toten years.

Leases:

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that it can be determined that an arrangement represents a lease, it is classified as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company does not currently have any finance leases. The Company capitalizes operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets through a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Short-term leases that have an initial term of one year or less are not capitalized. The Company does not presently have any short-term leases.

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In addition to the present value of lease payments, the operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Nature of Leases

The Company leases certain office space, restaurant space, and information technology equipment under non-cancelable leases to support its operations. A more detailed description of significant lease types is included below.

Office Space Agreements

The Company rents office space from third parties for its corporate location. Office space agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms ofone to 10 years. The Company has concluded that its office space agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreement subsequent to the primary term.

Restaurant Space Agreements

The Company subleased one of its restaurant spaces to a third-party through January 2025. The Company has no plans to enter into future sublease arrangements.

Information Technology Equipment Agreements

The Company rents information technology equipment, primarily printers and copiers, from a third party for its corporate office location. Information technology equipment agreements are typically structured with non-cancelable terms ofone tofive years. The Company has concluded that its information technology equipment agreements are operating leases.

Discount Rate

Leases typically do not provide an implicit interest rate. Accordingly, the Company is required to use its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company uses the implicit rate in the limited circumstances in which that rate is readily determinable.

Lease Guarantees

The Company is no longer guaranteeing the financial responsibilities of any franchised store lease.

Index

Practical Expedients and Accounting Policy Elections

Certain lease agreements include lease and non-lease components. For all existing asset classes with multiple component types, the Company has utilized the practical expedient that exempts it from separating lease components from non-lease components. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components in an arrangement as a single lease component.

In addition, for all existing asset classes, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the lease recognition requirements to short-term leases (that is, a lease that, at commencement, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise). Accordingly, we recognize lease payments related to our short-term leases in our income statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term which has not changed from our prior recognition. To the extent that there are variable lease payments, we recognize those payments in our income statements in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 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 and eventual disposition of the assets compared to their carrying value. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of an impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows. For the years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, impairment expense waszero, zero, andzero, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses:

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from franchise royalties and supplier incentives. The Company records an allowance for credit losses 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.

The Company monitors franchisee receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high-risk accounts receivable. For fiscal 2026, provision for credit losses was $7 thousand compared to recoveries for credit losses of $21 thousand for fiscal 2025.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses consisted of the following (in thousands):

Provision (recovery) for credit losses7(21)
Amounts written off(8)(5)
Ending balance$30$31

Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses:

Notes receivable primarily consist of promissory notes arising from franchisee agreements and structured Company-financed sales of assets. The majority of amounts and terms are evidenced by formal promissory notes and personal guarantees. All notes allow for early payment without penalty. Fixed principal payments are due monthly. Notes receivable mature at various dates through 2029 and bear interest at a weighted average rate of 5.5% and 5.3% at June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively.

Index

Notes receivable are reported at original issue amount less principal repaid, reduced by an allowance for credit losses. An allowance for expected credit losses is determined based on a specific assessment of all notes that are delinquent or determined to be doubtful to be collected. Notes are considered delinquent if the repayment terms are not met. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses in the period that determination is made.

The allowance for credit losses for notes receivable incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each note upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, there wereno modifications to notes receivable.

In evaluating the notes receivable, the Company determines that the notes are pooled based on historical collections and write-offs for purposes of determining its allowance for credit losses related to notes receivable. These notes have an amortized cost of approximately $78 thousand and $120 thousand at June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively. Historical loss information for notes receivable at the Company shows a 0% loss rate over the contractual term.

As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company hasnot recorded any allowance for credit losses related to the notes receivable balances. Additionally, as of June 28, 2026, the Company hasone note receivable with non-accrual status as the Company conditionally forgave the remaining $15 thousand balance on a note as part of a franchise renewal negotiation provided the franchise remains in good standing through the end of the note's term on June 1, 2027. As of June 29, 2025, the Company didnot have any notes receivable with past due or non-accrual status. The total amount of write-offs and recoveries of notes receivable were zero for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025.

The expected principal collections on notes receivable for the next three years are as follows as of June 28, 2026 (in thousands):

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method pursuant to the authoritative guidance on ASC 740 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.

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 assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Future sources of taxable income are also considered in determining the amount of any required valuation allowance.

There are no material uncertain tax positions. Management’s position is that all relevant requirements are met and necessary returns have been filed, and therefore the tax positions taken on the tax returns would be sustained upon examination.

Under ASC 740, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. From time to time, the Company may be assessed interest and penalties by taxing authorities. In those cases, the charges are recorded as income tax expense, as incurred, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in contracts with customers and excludes incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, primarily sales tax. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

Index

The following describes principal activities, separated by major product or service, from which the Company generates its revenues:

Franchise Revenues

Franchise revenues consist of 1) franchise royalties, 2) supplier and distributor incentive revenues, 3) franchise license fees, 4) area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees, 5) advertising fund contributions, and 6) supplier convention funds.

Franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of net retail sales, are recognized as sales occur.

Supplier and distributor incentive revenues are recognized when title to the underlying commodities transfer.

Franchise license fees are typically billed upon execution of the franchise agreement and amortized over the term of the franchise agreement, which typically range from five to 20 years. Fees received for renewal periods are amortized over the life of the renewal period. In the event of a closed franchise or terminated development agreement, the remaining balance of unamortized license fees will be recognized in entirety as of the date of the closure or termination.

Area development exclusivity fees and foreign master license fees are typically billed upon execution of the area development and foreign master license agreements. Area development exclusivity fees are included in deferred revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and allocated on a pro rata basis to all stores opened under that specific development agreement as the stores are opened. Area development exclusivity fees that include rights to sub-franchise are amortized as revenue over the term of the contract.

Advertising fund contributions for Pizza Inn and Pie Five units represent contributions collected where we have control over the activities of the fund. Contributions are based on a percentage of net retail sales. We have determined that we are the principal in these arrangements, and advertising fund contributions and expenditures are, therefore, reported on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In general, we expect such advertising fund contributions and expenditures to be largely offsetting and, therefore, do not expect a significant impact on our reported income before income taxes. Our obligation related to these funds is to develop and conduct advertising activities. Pizza Inn and Pie Five marketing fund contributions are billed and collected weekly or monthly.

Supplier convention funds are deferred until the obligations of the agreement are met and the event takes place.

The Company had subleased some of its restaurant space to a third-party. The Company's last remaining sublease term ended in January 2025 and the Company has no plans to enter into future sublease arrangements. The sublease agreements were non-cancelable through the end of the term and both parties had substantive rights to terminate the lease when the term is complete. Sublease agreements are not capitalized and are recorded as rental income in the period that rent is received.

Total revenues consist of the following (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on stock-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.

RSUs represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. Compensation cost for RSUs is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level.

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 ASC 450 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.

Evaluating contingencies related to litigation is a process involving judgment on the potential outcome of future events, and the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from our current analysis. Accordingly, we review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures pertaining to litigated matters each quarter in consultation with legal counsel and we assess the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are engaged in various legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending. Liabilities have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. Based upon consultation with legal counsel, management is of the opinion that there are no matters pending or threatened which are expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

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 28, 2026 contained 52 weeks, the fiscal year ended June 29, 2025 contained 52 weeks, and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 contained 53 weeks.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance:

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “standard”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The new guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2024, which required companies to enhance disclosure of significant reportable segment expenses.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to provide a more granular breakdown of the components that make up their effective tax rate and additional disclosures about the nature and effect of significant reconciling items. The new guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard prospectively on June 30, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not impact the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. See Note D - Income Taxes for the related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires, for each relevant expense caption on the income statement, detailed disclosure amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, this ASU requires companies to include amounts already required by GAAP in the same disclosure, provide a qualitative description of remaining amounts not separately disaggregated, and disclose the amount of total selling expenses along with the companies’ definition of selling expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, which would require us to adopt the provisions in our fiscal 2028 Form 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow- Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

In December 2025, the FASB issued its final ASU which makes improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in response to feedback from stakeholders. This standard, issued as ASU 2025-12, specifically updates the Codification for a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-12.

The Company utilized net operating losses to offset federal taxes. At the end of tax year June 28, 2026, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling $12 million that are available to reduce future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2035. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, approximately $1.3 million of the loss carryforwards are limited to 80% and do not expire. Tax years that remain subject to examination by the IRS are the years ended June 25, 2023 through June 29, 2025. Tax years that remain subject to examination by state authorities are the years ended June 26, 2022 through June 29, 2025.

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 assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Future sources of taxable income are also considered in determining the amount of any required valuation allowance. As of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, the Company determined thatno valuation allowance was necessary.

There are no material uncertain tax positions. Management’s position is that all relevant requirements are met and necessary returns have been filed, and therefore the tax positions taken on the tax returns would be sustained upon examination.

NOTE F - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

The Company has a tax advantaged savings plan that is designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Employees who have completed three months of service and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan provides that participating employees may elect to have between 1% and 100% of their compensation deferred and contributed to the plan subject to certain IRS limitations. The Company has a discretionary matching contribution. Separate accounts are maintained with respect to contributions made on behalf of each participating employee. Employer matching contributions and earnings thereon are invested in the same investments as each participant’s employee deferral. The plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, and is a profit-sharing plan as defined in Section 401(k) of the Code.

For the fiscal years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, total matching contributions to the tax advantaged savings plan by the Company on behalf of participating employees were approximately $32 thousand, $27 thousand, and $21 thousand, respectively.

NOTE G - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS:

The 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2025 LTIP”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders on December 9, 2025 and became effective December 10, 2025. Officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the 2025 LTIP. A total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2025 LTIP. Awards authorized under the 2025 LTIP include incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and rights (either with or without accompanying options). The 2025 LTIP provides for options to be granted at market value of the stock on the date of grant and have exercise periods determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The Compensation Committee may also determine the vesting periods, performance criteria and other terms and conditions of all awards under the 2025 LTIP. The Compensation Committee has adopted resolutions under the 2025 LTIP automatically granting to each non-employee director on the first day of each fiscal year options to purchase twice the number of shares of common stock acquired during the previous fiscal year, up to a maximum of 40,000 shares. Such options are exercisable at the market value of the stock on the first day of the fiscal year, vestsix months from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The 2015 LTIP expired by its terms on June 1, 2025.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock options issued during the years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024 were zero, zero, andzero, respectively.

We determine fair value following the authoritative guidance as follows:

Valuation and Amortization Method. We estimate the fair value of share-based awards granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We amortize the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods.

Expected Life. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. Unless a life is specifically stated, we determine the expected life using the “simplified method” in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 since we do not have sufficient historical share option exercise experience.

Expected Volatility. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

Index

Risk-Free Interest Rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Expected Dividend Yield. We have not historically paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Expected Forfeitures. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. We record stock-based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest.

Stock compensation expense related to stock options recognized in either fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024 waszero, zero, andzero, respectively. There wereno stock options that were unvested at June 28, 2026 or June 29, 2025. There waszero unamortized stock compensation expense at June 28, 2026.

Restricted Stock Units:

Restricted stock units awarded under the 2015 LTIP and 2025 LTIP represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of vesting requirements, performance criteria and other terms and conditions. During fiscal 2026 and 2025,135,072 and 142,328 performance-based RSUs, respectively, were granted to certain employees. For the years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, the Company had stock compensation expense of $298 thousand, $136 thousand, and $149 thousand, respectively, related to RSUs. As of June 28, 2026, there was $260 thousand, $161 thousand and $38 thousand unamortized stock compensation expense related to RSUs, which should be recognized during fiscal years 2027, 2028 and 2029, respectively.

The restricted stock units granted to each recipient are allocated among performance criteria pertaining to various aspects of the Company’s business, as well as its overall operations, measured based on the second fiscal year following the date of grant. Achievement of the various performance criteria entitles the recipient to receive shares of common stock in amounts ranging from 50% to 150% of the number of restricted stock units granted. Grantees of restricted stock units do not have any rights of a stockholder, and do not participate in any distributions on our common stock, until the award fully vests upon satisfaction of the vesting schedule, performance criteria and other conditions set forth in their award agreement. Contingent unvested restricted stock units are considered participating securities under ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” and are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share at the beginning of the most recent quarterly period when the performance targets and vesting are probable to be met.

Compensation cost is measured as an amount equal to the fair value of the restricted stock units on the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period if achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable, with the amount of the expense recognized based on the best estimate of the ultimate achievement level.

A summary of the status of restricted stock units as of June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, and changes during the fiscal years then ended is presented below:

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to employment agreements, franchise disputes, lawsuits, taxes, food product purchase contracts and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that any such claims and actions currently pending are either covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

NOTE I - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

The Company computes and presents earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

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):

These options expire in fiscal 2032. We had 277,400,142,328, and 105,000 restricted stock units for years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively, which were excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis because the performance criteria had not been met and vesting was not probable.

NOTE J - SEGMENT REPORTING:

The Company hasthree reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by ASC 280 Segment Reporting: (1) Pizza Inn Franchising, (2) Pie Five Franchising and (3) Corporate administration and other. These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold. Administrative costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, and franchise expenses are partially allocated to thethree operating segments. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer, who assesses segment performance primarily based on operating revenues and income before taxes to inform decisions regarding resource allocation. In addition, the CODM uses segment income to evaluate investment opportunities and strategic priorities across the Company's brands.

The Pizza Inn and Pie Five Franchising segments establish franchisees, licensees and territorial rights. Revenue for these segments is derived from franchise royalties, franchise fees, sale of area development and foreign master license rights and incentive payments from third-party suppliers and distributors. Assets for these segments include equipment, furniture and fixtures.

Corporate administration and other assets primarily include cash and short-term investments, as well as furniture and fixtures located at the corporate office and trademarks and other intangible assets. All assets are located within the United States.

Summarized in the following tables are revenues, expenses, operating income, and income before taxes for the Company's reportable segments for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2026, June 29, 2025, and June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On August 31, 2026, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brandon Solano, delivered email correspondence (the “Solano Correspondence”) to the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee, Mr. William C. Hammett, Jr. to “formally complain about workplace harassment and discrimination by RAVE Restaurant Group’s Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee members, and Chairman Mark Schwarz.” The Solano Correspondence claimed harassment, intimidation, and threats, resulting in the Company’s failure to increase Mr. Solano’s annual base salary.

The Solano Correspondence included a request for the Company to conduct “an investigation by an outside investigator to address these concerns” (an “Independent Investigation”). Solano also claimed that he had “filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Division of the Texas Workforce Commission due to the discrimination I have endured from RAVE’s board” (the “Texas Workforce Claim”). The Company engaged the Hagan Law Group on September 1, 2026, to conduct the Investigation. As of the date of this report, we have not received any notification, written or otherwise, from the Texas Workforce Commission regarding the Texas Workforce Claim, so we are unable to assess Mr. Solano’s claims at this time on anything other than the Solano Correspondence and the advice we have received from the Hagan Law Group.

Many of the claims set forth in the Solano Correspondence relate to Mr. Solano’s assertion the Company has denied him salary increases enjoyed by other RAVE employees and Executive Team members based on his race and national origin (the “Discriminatory Compensation Claims”). In the context of the Discriminatory Compensation Claims asserted by Mr. Solano, we believe it material to provide the following facts regarding Mr. Solano’s compensation history.

Fiscal Year 2026. On October 20, 2025, the Rave Restaurant Group Compensation Committee passed a resolution to increase Mr. Solano’s salary to $370,000 per annum, with a proportional increase in his associated target bonus opportunity and restricted stock unit grants. The increased salary, bonus potential, and restricted stock grants were effective as of the first regular pay date after October 21, 2025 (the “Fiscal 2026 Compensation Increase*”).*Mr. Solano emailed our Chairman on August 26, 2026, with a request for a significant increase in his combined salary, bonus, and equity compensation as well as to be appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Requested Compensation Increase”). Mr. Schwarz initiated a phone conversation with Mr. Solano the next day, August 27, 2026 where Mr. Schwarz indicated to Solano that his Requested Compensation Increase beginning Fiscal Year 2027 and increasing 2.5 times to $2.3 million annually for Fiscal Year 2029 could be discussed at the Board’s upcoming meeting, but that for Mr. Schwarz such a request was a “non-starter”. Four days later, the Solano Correspondence was delivered to the Company.

Fiscal Years 2020-2025. For additional context, we have provided historic compensation information regarding Mr. Solano’s summary compensation prior to the Fiscal Year 2026 Compensation Increase for the Company’s fiscal years 2020-2025, as reported in the Company’s publicly filed proxy statements on Schedule 14A:

2020230,25290,257--320,509

Total compensation in the amount of $4.3 million beginning with the partial year worked in Fiscal Year 2020, which does not include additional compensation received during the Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027 to date.

Employment Agreement. Mr. Solano has an employment letter with the Company (the “Solano Agreement”) confirming his employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Solano Agreement provides for at-will employment at an annual base salary, subject to adjustment over time, which is currently $370,000. The Solano Agreement also provides for incentive compensation of up to $555,000 or 150% of base annual salary split equally between annual cash bonus and restricted stock units granted under the Company’s 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan, which continued under the 2025 LTIP Plan. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon satisfaction of vesting requirements and performance conditions over a period of three fiscal years. Mr. Solano is also entitled to other typical benefits generally available to senior executives of the Company. The Solano Agreement also contains a covenant not to compete which precludes Mr. Solano from engaging in any pizza restaurant business for a period of 12 months after the termination of his employment, as well as non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and other common employment covenants.

The Board takes any claim of harassment or discrimination very seriously and is reviewing the available information and will determine what actions, if any, are warranted after the Independent Investigation is completed and we have had the opportunity to review and respond to the Texas Workforce Claim.

Management believes that any such claims and actions currently pending are either covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.
